However, he did not dispute worker claims that they are forced to pay their own “vaccination” to be allowed to work in Gran Colombia’s mines. “There are things that escape from our control,” he said in a November interview at Gran Colombia’s Medellin offices. “This kind of extortion we cannot deal with, the underworld and organized crime we cannot deal with. It’s not our problem, it is a government problem.” For the miners, though, extortion is their problem. Many of the crews work for a cut of the ore they mine, and the extortion can mean that on a bad month they now struggle to provide for their families. “It is not profitable to work with Erazo anymore,” said Durango, who quit. “If the mine isn’t producing well then there might be enough to buy food but not enough to pay the vaccination as well.”

In response to this, CinCPacFlt directed that a mobile-support team be established at Da Nang, consisting initially of two officers and ten enlisted men, including an engineman, electrician's mate, quartermaster, electronics technician, gunner's mate, and machinery repairman. The team would eventually grow to five officers and 40 enlisted. In addition, the subsequent CinCPacFlt, Admiral U. S. Grant Sharp, strongly recommended that the "boats be stricken at least for record purposes from U.S, Navy records.... to preclude possible future embarrassment to the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Government." The Nastys would be going up north "clean," with Norwegian operators and South Vietnamese SEALs. In an October 1962 memo to U.S. Secretary of the Navy Paul Nitze, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara called for procurement of Norwegian Nasty fast boats. With this directive came a CIA initiative to recruit former Norwegian maritime commandos and mercenaries-- who were already familiar with U.S. underwater demolition and SEAL techniques--to operate the boats in North Vietnamese waters, The structure of the Special Operations Group 34 operation in Da Nang was supervised by the U.S. Naval Advisory Detachment (NAD) and initially commanded by Commander Albert Thomas, who had been a submarine officer. The irony of this was that despite Thomas's lack of knowledge about special operations, he would eventually be cited by the Navy as an authority on unconventional warfare. Subordinate to the advisory detachment was the mobile support team, a boat-training team--with two U.S. officers and ten men for each boat crew-- and the SEAL training team (two officers and ten men) preparing South Vietnamese Lien, Doc Nguoi Nhia (LDNN), literally "soldiers who fight under ;the sea," for their hazardous missions. The advisory detachment was rounded out by the Marine reconnaissance team (one officer and three men), and three Swift boats--designated fast patrol craft-- with the Nastys and the "gassers." On 27 May 1964 the maritime operation scored its first significant success in capturing a North Vietnamese junk and its six passengers. The detainees were taken to a special facility on Lao Cham Island off Da Nang, the site of a top-secret CIA-run resistance training center, where they were subjected to intense interrogation. SOG 34 operations continued throughout the war, as operations became bolder, with agent insertions and kidnappings and assassinations, as the teams became more capable. By June 1964 special operations messages indicated increased success in all facets of covert operations in North Vietnam.

The first Lamborghini was not a low-slung, overpowered sports car that looked like sex on wheels. It was a tractor, and a damn fine one at that. The man who built it, Ferruccio Lamborghini, was a perpetual malcontent who was never quite happy with anything, including the fleet of Ferraris he amassed as his wealth grew. He considered them loud and unrefined, brutish racecars haphazardly adapted for the road. He told Enzo Ferrari how he might improve his cars. Ferrari told him, in no uncertain terms, to get lost. The temperamental Italian wouldn't have it, so he went home and began developing his first sports car. It would typify the Italian aesthetic: flashy, gorgeous, expensive and – despite his best efforts as a skilled engineer – temperamental. But it was the rolling embodiment of his vision for the perfect car. Fifty years later, the company that bears his name continues striving toward that ideal. It hasn't always achieved it – anyone remember the LM 002? – but Lamborghini has never failed to inspire emotion. Love them or hate them, Lamborghinis make you feel something, which is exactly what Signor Ferrucio wanted to do. They've never established the same aura as Ferrari, perhaps because Lamborghini (the company) never went racing because Lamborghini (the man) crashed during his first and only race. Still, Lamborghini's hold a rarefied place in the automotive world. Ferruccio Lamborghini set out to build the world's best grand tourer, a car of unmatched refinement, speed and luxury. Somewhere along the line the company evolved (devolved?) into a manufacturer of some of the most outlandish cars the world has ever seen, even if they've been made by the Germans since Audi bought the company in 1998. Here, then, is a look at the most inspired and insane cars from Lamborghini. All photos courtesy of Lamborghini

We've talked about the importance of carrying on the work that Aaron Swartz began, and the global efforts at hackathons to do just that. However, a few have started working on very specific proposals to try to carry on some of Aaron's work. Specifically, they're trying to build on the effort over which he was first investigated by the feds: his attempts to free up court documents that are locked up behind PACER's paywall.For the uninitiated, despite being public domain, court filings are locked up in an incredibly antiquated electronic document system that the federal courts all use called PACER. Anyone can get access to PACER (though using the system, which has never been an example of modernity, takes some figuring out), but it costs $0.10 per page to download any documents. That's what Aaron was trying to "free. "While his initial effort, making use of a "trial" at certain libraries allowing free access to PACER was shut down, his downloads did become the crux of the RECAP project , a browser plugin built a few years ago by some Princeton students, which would automatically upload any document you accessed via PACER to the Internet Archive where they could be viewed for free going forward.Unfortunately, RECAP itself more or less stagnated after many of those behind it left Princeton. However, following Aaron's death, there have been a couple of interesting developments, driven in large part by a different Aaron, Aaron Greenspan . First, he set up three grants of $5,000 each to update the RECAP extension. It's currently only available in Firefox, but there are grants for expanding it to Chrome and to IE, while also updating the Firefox browser to cover appeals court documents. This would be huge. I tend to use PACER via Chrome, so I've been unable to contribute much to RECAP lately.But the second part of the plan, also put in place by Greenspan, is what he's calling Operation Asymptote , to try to get lots of people to help out in freeing PACER documents. He's using the one slight exception to the $0.10 per page rule: PACERif your total charges add up to less than $15 per calendar quarter. In other words, you can basically download 150 "pages" during a quarter for free. Now, that's not really 150 pages of court documents, since PACER also charges for searches. And, since some court documents can be pretty long, 150 pages can actually go pretty fast.

Foundation Spokesman Craig Minassian said “Dennis... expanded our ability to support programs that are strengthening health systems and improving access to lifesaving medicines in the developing world, helping communities confront the effects of climate change, creating economic opportunity, empowering women and girls and reducing childhood obesity and other preventable diseases in the United States.” A foundation source also noted that while Cheng is leaving this week, he will continue to work as a volunteer through the foundation’s March 4 annual gala. Cheng served as deputy chief of protocol in the Clinton State Department and was Clinton’s New York State finance director on her 2008 campaign. Why liberal Democrats might regret standing in Summers’s way (WAPO) By Max Ehrenfreund February 9, 2015 The Washington Post Larry Summers might have been the chairman of the Federal Reserve, and now all he can do is offer unsolicited advice on interest rates in newspaper columns. The question is whether the people who kept him out of the central bank are having second thoughts. Under Janet Yellen, who got the job instead, the Fed now thinks that the economy is strong, and it is planning to raise interest rates relatively soon. This could be a bad idea, Summers writes in The Washington Post. Yes, low rates could lead to higher prices, but the whole economy is in danger if the Fed takes its foot off the pedal and lets rates come up: A plane that accelerates too rapidly as it takes off may cause its passengers some discomfort, while a plane that accelerates too slowly may crash at the end of the runway. Historical experience is that inflation accelerates only slowly, so the costs of an overshoot are small and reversible with standard tightening policies. In contrast, aborting recovery and risking a further slowing of inflation is potentially catastrophic — as Japan’s experience over the past quarter-century demonstrates. Summers calls on the Fed to wait for “clear evidence” on increasing inflation. Doing so would help ordinary Americans, he writes, suggesting that unemployment could fall much further before prices begin to rise again. His column puts workers first, and it should please liberals in Congress like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Yet when she and many of her colleagues gave Summers the cold shoulder, Obama nominated Yellen instead.

Abstract The causes and mechanisms of evolutionary diversification are central issues in biology. Geographic isolation is the traditional explanation for diversification, but recent theoretical and empirical studies have shown that frequency-dependent selection can drive diversification without isolation and that adaptive diversification occurring in sympatry may be an important source of biological diversity. However, there are no empirical examples in which sympatric lineage splits have been understood at the genetic level, and it is unknown how predictable this process is—that is, whether similar ecological settings lead to parallel evolutionary dynamics of diversification. We documented the genetic basis and the evolutionary dynamics of adaptive diversification in three replicate evolution experiments, in which competition for two carbon sources caused initially isogenic populations of the bacterium Escherichia coli to diversify into two coexisting ecotypes representing different physiological adaptations in the central carbohydrate metabolism. Whole-genome sequencing of clones of each ecotype from different populations revealed many parallel and some unique genetic changes underlying the derived phenotypes, including changes to the same genes and sometimes to the same nucleotide. Timelines of allele frequencies extracted from the frozen “fossil” record of the three evolving populations suggest parallel evolutionary dynamics driven at least in part by a co-evolutionary process in which mutations causing one type of physiology changed the ecological environment, allowing the invasion of mutations causing an alternate physiology. This process closely corresponds to the evolutionary dynamics seen in mathematical models of adaptive diversification due to frequency-dependent ecological interactions. The parallel genetic changes underlying similar phenotypes in independently evolved lineages provide empirical evidence of adaptive diversification as a predictable evolutionary process.

Men and women are watching a sport on television. A player drops a ball. The men yell, "Cunt! Stupid cunt!" Some men are discussing another man who has betrayed them; they detest him and sum up his character as "An utter cunt," My questions: is a "cunt" something that makes men angry? or afraid? Does it stand for what they hate?". 'Cunt' also appears in the Indian surname Cuntararajan, and the Romanian surnames Cuntan and Cuntanu. A Bit Of Fry And Laurie created the fictional author "Ted Cunterblast" (Roger Ordish, 1989), and Viz writers have used the fictitious names "Cuntly Cuntington" (2011[a]) and "Major V Cuntingdon-Smythe" (2011[b]). In the first episode of the comedy series In Time With Alan Partridge , the eponymous character mistakenly refers to another character as "Alice Clunt", the joke being that her 'real' name is Alice Fluck (Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons, 2019). In The Simpsons , the name "Cantwell" is a 'cunt' pun: "Meet your new teacher, Ms Canterwell. Do not call her by the obvious dirty nickname" (Matthew Schofield, 2013). The surname Kuntz has a tantalising phonetic similarity to 'Cunts', and is especially notable in the case of WD Kuntz, whose 'cunt' connection is compounded by his position as a gynaecologist. In a similar vein, Matthew Norman quotes a letter from Archibald Clerk Kerr: "[I have] a new Turkish colleague whose card tells me that his name is Mustapha Kunt ['Must have a Cunt']. We all feel like that [...] but few of us would care to put it on our cards" (2003). Tom Conti has received the same treatment: Gareth McLean wrote that "Conti should probably enter the vernacular as a term of abuse" (2003), owing to its similarity to 'cunt'. The surname Kant is commonly confused with 'cunt', as Mark Lawson discovered to his cost on a live television programme: "My error was not to have known that the Philosopher Immanuel Kant's surname is habitually pronounced by academics to rhyme with "punt"" (2003). Furthermore, the name of a character in the film I'll Never Forget What's 'is Name , Quint, has been interpreted as a reference to 'cunt'.

the Savoy Synod], we did readily conclude it best to retain the same order in our present confession: and also, when we observed that those last mentioned, did in their confession (for reasons which seemed of weight both to themselves and others) choose not only to express their mind in words concurrent with the former in sense, concerning all those articles wherein they were agreed, but also for the most part without any variation of the terms we did in like manner conclude it best to follow their example in making use of the very same words with them both, in these articles (which are very many) wherein our faith and doctrine is the same with theirs, and this we did, the more abundantly, to manifest our consent with both, in all fundamental articles of the Christian Religion, as also with many others, whose orthodox confessions have been published to the world; on the behalf of the Protestants in divers Nations and Cities: and also to convince all, that we have no itch to clogge Religion with new words, but do readily acquiesce in that form of sound words, which hath been, in consent with the holy Scriptures, used by others before us, hereby declaring before God, Angels, & Men. our hearty agreement with them, in that wholesome Protestant Doctrine, which with so clear evidence of Scriptures they have asserted: some things indeed, are in some places added, some terms omitted, and some few changed, but these alterations are of that nature, as that we need not doubt, any charge or suspition of unsoundness in the faith, from any of our brethren upon account of them.

Get all your minds out of that gutter!! Not Bernie Kerik!! Not a smidgen of a chance!! Ha! (Again, I just can't make this shit up! )So I am curious what "version" Bernie will reveal in his upcoming book, "From Jailer to Jailed" to be published by Threshold Editions through imprint Simon & Schuster. I'm sure Dahlia Mary and Mother May will be getting proper credit in the book. My work for Bernie over the three years of his incarceration, among other work product, writing and editing, is being used today without permission, credit or compensation. I hope they all make lots of money off my work, archiving prison emails capturing his thoughts and emotions, as depicted here, so Bernie can write a great book. You're welcome, you lying, libel-proof, manipulating fraudster felon! Remember, you heard it here first, folks. I'll be there to set the record straight.....Trust and believe.You're welcome, America!

In December 1992 and January 1993, for instance, evidence poured in to a House task force that was investigating the so-called October Surprise controversy, whether the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign had gone behind President Jimmy Carter’s back and contacted Iranian mullahs while Iran was holding 52 Americans hostage. Carter’s failure to resolve that hostage crisis doomed his re-election and touched off Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory. Plus, Iran’s release of the hostages as Reagan was taking the oath of office gave Reagan an aura of heroism that has continued to this day. In a December 2007 campaign ad, Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani cited Reagan’s supposed toughness with terrorists as the reason the Iranians suddenly freed the hostages after a 444-day standoff. “They released the American hostages in one hour, and that should tell us a lot about these Islamic terrorists that we’re facing” today, Giuliani said. “The one hour in which they released them was the one hour in which Ronald Reagan was taking the oath of office as President of the United States. “The best way you deal with tyrants and terrorists, you stand up to them. You don’t back down.” [NYT, Dec. 6, 2007] But the House task force was learning a different reality in December 1992, as witnesses came forth and documents surfaced indicating that Reagan campaign operatives, including then vice presidential candidate George H.W. Bush, had engaged in their own secret diplomacy in 1980, promising a swap of arms for the hostages. Among this new evidence: --Former Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr sent the task force a detailed letter describing the Iranian infighting that had occurred around this Republican overture and how Iran’s most radical elements favored a deal with the Reagan-Bush team. --The biographer for French intelligence chief Alexandre deMarenches recounted how deMarenches had confessed his role in arranging secret meetings in Paris, a statement that was corroborated by several other French intelligence operatives. --Former CIA officer Charles Cogan described a meeting in early 1981 at which Joseph Reed, an aide to banker David Rockefeller, boasted to then CIA Director William Casey about their success in thwarting President Carter’s hoped-for October Surprise of a pre-election hostage release. So Startling The new evidence was so startling that the task force’s chief counsel Lawrence Barcella approached chairman, Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Indiana, with a request that the investigation be extended a few months so the new information could be evaluated.

His February 6 press release , for example, throws around his love of the "American People" and "small, independent businesses and entrepreneurs" like so much disingenuous digital confetti. Yet when you actually bother to ask said entrepreneurs -- like this letter (pdf) from 100 companies including Yelp, Etsy, Kickstarter, Tumblr and GitHub -- they unequivocally make it clear Commissioner Pai doesn't speak for them:One marginally clever thing Pai's been doing is that he's been raising an absolute hysterical media shitstorm for weeks over the fact the FCC hasn't released the proposed rules ahead of Thursday's vote. And it's impossible to claim he's wrong: FCC restrictions bar the agency from publicizing drafts ahead of a vote, no matter which party is in power. That's something that's been the bane of telecom reporters (and public discourse) for years.That said, as a former Verizon lawyer, Pai doesn'tgive a damn about transparency. Phone and cable companiesthe lack of transparency that allows them craft abysmal anti-consumer regulations on the state and federal level every day. Similarly, were Pai's party in office pushing an agenda he(like oh, letting Verizon do effectively whatever it likes, no matter how anti-competitive) you can be fairly sure his love of transparency would be notably absent from the conversation. Still, Pai's attempting a futile Hail Mary attempt to delay this week's vote because he just loves transparencyIn short, you've got a former Verizon regulatory lawyer claiming to represent the interests of everybody except the companies he's actually busy looking out for. Layered on to that is a media that pretends it's notthat a living, breathing example of revolving door regulation is claiming to be a champion of the American public. Pai knows the rules will be approved on Thursday; he's just hoping his theatrical performance wins him a chance to lead the FCC (and the likely destruction of these very same rules) should we see a 2016 party shift.If those ambitions are unattainable, perhaps Pai can rejoin Verizon and contribute to the industry's legal assault on consumers and the rules more directly -- to the great and immeasurable benefit of puppies and school children everywhere.

Now we can see how the mapping works. Normalization pulls the vertices straight to the center, until they reach the unit circle. Vertices that lie closer to the square's corners are pulled in more than vertices that lie closer to the main axes. Indeed, vertices that lie exactly on the main axes aren't moved at all, while vertices that lie exactly on the diagonals are moved by `sqrt(2)-1` units. As all points that move are pulled straight towards the same point, they end up closer together. That's why cells that touch the diagonals are the smallest. unitypackage

MUMBAI: A Kurla-based family that huddled together on the first floor of the city civil and sessions court could perhaps be considered the most telling success of the country's first National Lok Adalat (people's hearing) that took place on Saturday. An 82-year-old matriarch, her two sons and five daughters had spent over a decade shuffling between courtrooms trying to settle their internal squabbles, but in vain.It took only about half-an-hour and a bit of patient coaxing by a three-member judicial panel on Saturday for the entire family to reach an amicable solution. The Khan family was one of the many litigants who got an opportunity to settle their differences at the National Lok Adalat, a quasi-judicial initiative of the National Legal Services Authority undertaken in courts across the country on Saturday. The Lok Adalat is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism and its decree is equivalent to that of a civil court. Since 2000, the state has arranged 33,037 Lok Adalats benefiting over 33 lakh people, but this is the first time it was undertaken at the national level.The Khan family dispute arose after Najibunnisa Khan approached a court alleging that her sons had partitioned her late husband's property in Kurla (W). Her contention was that while they were enjoying the fruits of his wealth, they weren't looking after her well enough. The family spent 10 years between the Bombay high court and civil court. On Saturday, the wheel-chair bound Najibunnisa was in fact the oldest litigant at the Lok Adalat.Advocate Sadaf Khan, who appeared for the octogenarian, said she didn't want a case against her name in her twilight years and the resolution brought much jubilation among family members. "We will give you all an undertaking that we will pay our mother Rs 20,000 as maintenance every month," Najibunnisa's elder son Mohammad Khalil Khan promised the panel. Their lawyer Javeed Hussein told TOI that the sons had also given an undertaking that their mother was welcome to stay with them whenever she wanted, for as long as she liked. "If not for the Lok Adalat, their dispute could have stretched on for another 20 years," he believes.The city civil court was replete with such sweet endings. Thane resident Yashwant Bhonsale got his loan dispute settled with the State Bank of India, while Agripada resident Deepak Solanki resolved his dispute with the BMC to get his water connection restored to his residence.

The comedy film The Master of Disguise was produced in part by Adam Sandler and stars Dana Carvey as Pistachio Disguisey, an undercover Italian waiter who must save his father Fabbrizio (James Brolin) from the evil Devlin Bowman (Brent Spiner) by using his inherent skills in disguise. Although the film was a box office success, it received scathing reviews from critics upon its release, many of which pointed out its sophomoric plot, unfunny humor (in particular, its flatulence gags) and disguises that would clearly not be recognized by children (such as Tony Montana from Scarface). Many critics also pointed out the short running time, consisting of 72 minutes of the film itself and over ten minutes of end credits juxtaposed with outtakes. Roger Ebert gave it one star out of four, claiming, "The movie is a desperate miscalculation. It gives poor Dana Carvey nothing to do that is really funny, and then expects us to laugh because he acts so goofy all the time. "[353] Alan Morrisson, writing for the film magazine Empire, proclaimed that The Master of Disguise was "the worst film ever made: a film about idiots, made by idiots, for idiots",[140] while Matthew Turner of ViewLondon remarked, "This is a serious contender for the title of The Worst Film Ever Made. "[354] In addition, Chris Parry of eFilmCritic.com stated, "Quite honestly, I've never seen anything less competent. And I mean that. "[355] The film holds a 1% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 103 reviews,[356] and was featured on the site's list of the top 100 worst-reviewed films of the 2000s. [357] It also appears on Metacritic's list of the all-time lowest-scoring films,[301] and is on the MRQE's 50 Worst Movies list. [213] A cameo appearance by Bo Derek landed her a nomination for Worst Supporting Actress at the 23rd Golden Raspberry Awards, but she lost to Madonna for Die Another Day.

In addition, 10 neutral stimuli were added, for a total of 170 pictures. Faces were presented in randomized order for 500msecs and replaced by a rating screen. Participants rated each face by selecting the emotion depicted, from the four emotions and neutral. The main outcome measure was accuracy (proportion correct). Identification of complex emotions used the Reading the Mind in the Eyes - Revised test (Eyes test) [21]. This task consists of 36 images of the eye region of males and females presented in randomized order. Each pair of eyes is taken from a face expressing a complex emotional state, such as ‘reflective’ or ‘ashamed’. Participants choose between four options to describe the emotion depicted; after selection, the next image is presented. This task employs only the eye region because this area carries subtle yet critical information about emotional state [21]. The Eyes test is sensitive to oxytocin administration [33]. The outcome measure was accuracy. The vocal affect recognition task was the Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy [DANVA-2; 22] Adult Paralanguage test. This task comprises 24 audio clips of professional actors saying a single neutral phrase (“I’m going out of the room now and I’ll be back later”) in a happy, sad, angry, or fearful tone. Within each emotion category, there are three high emotional intensity and three low emotional intensity items. After hearing each sentence, participants choose which emotion was expressed from the four emotions above. The outcome measure was accuracy. Statistical Analyses For subjective outcomes, repeated measures Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) were used to assess the effects of drug on peak change from baseline scores. Significant omnibus F tests were followed with post-hoc pairwise comparisons with full Bonferroni adjustment of the significance threshold. For the FER and DANVA-2 scores, two-way repeated measures ANOVAs assessed for main effects of drug and interactions between drug and emotion type. In the case that a significant interaction was identified, simple main effects analysis assessed for effects of drug on identification of each emotion. The significance threshold was set at 0.05 for the omnibus ANOVA, with Bonferroni-adjusted thresholds employed for each of the simple main effects analyses (p = 0.05/number of emotions). Significant simple main effects were followed with post-hoc pairwise comparisons with full Bonferroni adjustment for the total number of analyses undertaken (i.e. 0.05 corrected for simple main effects analyses as well as pairwise comparisons). An ANOVA assessed the effect of drug on total Eyes score.

A family is in mourning after a deadly wreck that all began with a police chase.Lives were suddenly changed overnight when a suspected drunk driver slammed his pickup truck into a car carrying two teenagers coming home from the prom.The mangled wreckage of both vehicles tell the story of a violent crash that killed YES Prep North Central student Jocelynn Valero and injured her prom date.Houston Police say the crash happened around 1am at the intersection of the North Freeway feeder road at East Tidwell Road. That is where a special ops DWI unit saw a pickup truck driver make a U-turn and go over a curb.When officers tried pulling over the pickup truck, the driver, identified as Edin Palacios-Rodas, 27, allegedly sped off. Investigators say the driver went over several curbs at a high rate of speed, dangerously hauling through a Fiesta parking lot.Palacios-Rodas allegedly ran a red light at the intersection at East Tidwell Road, smashing the truck into a Dodge Charger. Inside were the two teens, who had just left an IHOP restaurant. Only hours before, both were dancing and celebrating with friends at the prom.Witness Michael Johnson said he heard the crash and said it sounded like a boom. "Just feeling sorry for her family, what they have got to go through," said Michael Johnson, a witness.Jocelynn Valero's family had plenty to tell Eyewitness News about the loved one they have now lost. Her mom says she was a sweet girl who always had a smile on her face.The mother had harsh words for Palacios-Rodas, who is now in police custody accused of killing her only daughter. "I just want to say the guy who killed my daughter, he has to pay for what he did," she says.Sadly, the family are no strangers to tragedy. Just five weeks ago, the victim's brother was gunned down outside a nightclub. Police are still looking for the killer in that shooting.The victim's cousin says it's a hardship the family will have to endure together.

With such lack of evidence, compliance with DNA testing standards, police investigation procedures and even Thai law, one must also question why, on the day of the verdict Mr Michael Miller, brother of the victim, very publicly announced that having listened very carefully to the evidence he and his family were satisfied that the right men had been convicted. It seems that the Miller family are one of only a handful of people who are convinced. Mr Miller, in his post-verdict statement went on to comment that both men had showed no remorse. Perhaps this was due to neither men feeling remorse for a crime they did not commit and who stood to lose their lives because of it. Both of the now convicted men have relayed their sorrow for the victims and their families and Zaw Lin has vowed that should he be released he would like to support the families of the victims of the crimes he is also a victim of. Mr Michael Miller also asked the boys supporters to accept the verdict of the court. In light of the newly published appeal evidence, it has become very obvious as to why they were insulted by his request. One has to also question that why the Miller family are not as determined to ensure that true justice is found for David, when so much doubt surrounds this conviction. “Wrongful convictions and scapegoating are common place in this part of the world” said one supporter, who asked to remain anonymous, “perhaps the Millers are unaware this is not the UK and you cannot trust the verdict of the courts, this is a 3rd world country where mistakes are made far more often than in the west. Corruption is rife here” she went on to say “I am not sure which trial they were listening carefully too, but I was present during the Koh Tao murder trial and I was far more confused when I left on the last day than I was went I went in on day one”.

And yet, it seems as if this loneliness, and not this love, would prevail in their circumstances, because of the extravagant demand they make on human nature. That, indeed, constitutes a new feature in their portrait, that they are the most exacting and extortionate critics. Their quarrel with every man they meet, is not with his kind, but with his degree. There is not enough of him, that is the only fault. They prolong their privilege of childhood in this wise, of doing nothing, but making immense demands on all the gladiators in the lists of action and fame. They make us feel the strange disappointment which overcasts every human youth. So many promising youths, and never a finished man! The profound nature will have a savage rudeness; the delicate one will be shallow, or the victim of sensibility; the richly accomplished will have some capital absurdity; and so every piece has a crack. 'T is strange, but this masterpiece is a result of such an extreme delicacy, that the most unobserved flaw in the boy will neutralize the most aspiring genius, and spoil the work. Talk with a seaman of the hazards to life in his profession, and he will ask you, "Where are the old sailors? do you not see that all are young men?" And we, on this sea of human thought, in like manner inquire, Where are the old idealists? where are they who represented to the last generation that extravagant hope, which a few happy aspirants suggest to ours? In looking at the class of counsel, and power, and wealth, and at the matronage of the land, amidst all the prudence and all the triviality, one asks, Where are they who represented genius, virtue, the invisible and heavenly world, to these? Are they dead, taken in early ripeness to the gods, as ancient wisdom foretold their fate? Or did the high idea die out of them, and leave their unperfumed body as its tomb and tablet, announcing to all that the celestial inhabitant, who once gave them beauty, had departed? Will it be better with the new generation? We easily predict a fair future to each new candidate who enters the lists, but we are frivolous and volatile, and by low aims and ill example do what we can to defeat this hope. Then these youths bring us a rough but effectual aid.

In harmony with the remarks of President Taylor Elder Woodruff observed: "The reason why the Church and Kingdom of God cannot advance without the Patriarchal Order of Marriage is that it belongs to this dispensation just as baptism for the dead does, or any law or ordinance that belongs to a dispensation. Without it the Church cannot progress. The leading men of Israel who are presiding over stakes will have to obey the law of Abraham, or they will have to resign." (Matthias F. Cowley, Wilford Woodruff His Life and Labors, p.542.) 1884 April President Taylor tells monogamists to resign At a special priesthood meeting at the April conference, President John Taylor asked all monogamists serving in ward Bishoprics or Stake Presidencies either to make preparations to marry a plural wife or to offer their resignation from Church office, and he called out the names of monogamous Stake Presidents. Stake President William W. Cluff resigns on April 22, 1884 rather than take a plural wife. 1884 - 1887 Punishment made harsher for disobeying civil law Segregation strategy allowed each day that a polygamist spent with this wife or support thereof, was considered a separate offense and liable for individual punishment. (Smith, p. 488.) 1885 to 1890 1885 to 1890 was marked by intensive "polyg hunts" for "cohabs." The Mormon community in the West was terrorized by harsh enforcement of these laws. "Hunting cohabs" became a lucrative employment. Men and women were paid to find offenders of the Edmunds Act. Some assumed the role of peddlers or of tramps and wandered among the Mormons digging up information. Children going to or returning from school were stopped and asked about the relations of their mother and father. At night, prowlers peeked into Mormon homes to determine if men were violating the law. Sometimes men broke into Mormon homes without search warrants, and if men did not surrender, they were fired upon. The complaints or accusations brought against the Mormons were invariably based on second-hand information, but this was accepted in many courts. 1885 Feb 1 President Taylor joins underground President John Taylor went into the "underground..," and for a number of years Church leaders directed the affairs of the Church from "hiding places known only to a few trusted individuals.," (Smith. p. 470.) President John Taylor died in the Mormon underground. Both his counselors, President Joseph F. Smith and President George Q. Cannon, also went into hiding.

Today, Egypt, Syria and Bahrain face division along religious sectarian lines while Yemen and Libya face division across tribal lines.Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose family belongs to the minority Alawite sect, continues to brutally murder his own countrymen for the crime of being Sunni Muslims. According to the latest numbers from the United Nations, approximately 2,600 innocent civilians have been murdered.If it is the case that these countries will prove unable to agree on a central government under which all groups and tribes will subsist, does the possibility exist wherein new “tribal states” will form? Will the Shi’ite majority in Bahrain or the Sunni majority in Syria try to form a separatist state for themselves? Many of the existing Arab countries, including Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, were created more out of loyalty considerations than any other reason. There is no actual reason that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan exists other than the fact that they were favored by the British and thus given a tract of land to call their own.After all, in 1916, the Middle East was carved out by none other than two young negotiators, Mark Sykes and Charles François Georges- Picot, not only on the basis of the McMahon- Hussein correspondence that outlined the basic, vague, regions Arabs could declare independent, but by determining who was loyal to the Allies during WWI.With no strong historical connection to the land itself and no real historical basis for the existing government, what’s to stop separatist groups from attempting to split from formerly dictatorial cultures and create their own selfgoverned mini-state? THE PAN-ARAB idea from the early 20th century never took off for the simple reason that the amount of internal division within the Arab world would never have allowed it.Contrary to the belief that Arab grievances stem from Western imperialism, it is the Arab countries themselves that have never managed to resolve internal divisions.Even then, centuries ago, Ibn Khaldoun was on the mark about the rise and fall of nations.His emphasis on the importance of internal consensus and social solidarity leads us to question whether Egypt, Libya and Syria as well as other countries, including even possibly Morocco, Iran and Saudi Arabia, will fall into a period of “decay.” And with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s efforts to tout himself as the new leader of the Muslim world, what ramifications will this have for Israel and the West?

Squire, Howe, and White continued to write and rehearse as a three-piece in Townhouse Studios. At the same time, bassist and singer Trevor Horn and keyboardist Geoff Downes of the new wave band The Buggles were enjoying worldwide success with their 1979 hit single "Video Killed the Radio Star", and had recently secured Brian Lane as their new manager. Since Lane was also responsible for Yes, and with both groups now working from the same office, Lane asked Horn and Downes, both fans of Yes, to contribute a song for the trio. Downes and Horn were invited to Squire's Virginia Water mansion, New Pipers, where Horn presented the song by singing while playing guitar to him. Squire remarked that his voice was similar to Anderson's[6] and invited both musicians to Yes rehearsals, which Downes characterised as "a bit directionless, because they were rehearsing as a three piece [...] you can only go so far as a rhythm section". [2] The duo presented an eight-minute Buggles song that was deemed too long to record themselves named "We Can Fly from Here", which the three Yes members liked and wanted to develop. [7] Meanwhile, the Buggles weren't informed of Anderson's departure, and were confused by his absence; Squire didn't answer them and they only found out about the situation by the point that they were being pushed to record the song. [2] Horn had some doubts in becoming Yes's new singer as he realised the difficulties of replacing Anderson considering the reputation he had built with the fans, but went for it as he knew such an opportunity would not arise again. [9] Feeling Horn and Downes were suitable replacements, Squire convinced Howe and White to let them join. Lane announced the idea to Ahmet Ertegun, then president of Atlantic Records, the band's label, who flew to London to assess the situation and see if the new formation was commercially viable. Ertegun approved, thus giving the green-light for a new album.

The Foxcroft's Autumn Festival Collection will be available for purchase in a boxed set featuring all 7 of the fragrances in this collection. The perfumes will come packaged in a kraft box adorned with the hand-drawn Autumn Festival flyer logo and tied with orange and black raffia. The fragrances sit nestled on top of hay and raffia with adornments of moss, river stones and putka pods. The set also comes with a card denoting each of the fragrances and their main notes. A cloudless night dotted with stock-still stars gleaming with such ferocity as only can be seen in the open country. Crisp fall air carries on it the scents of the bustling Autumn Festival held at the Foxcroft fairgrounds. Dazzling colors, scents of sugared delights and a myriad of sounds overwhelm and delight the senses. Pink cotton candy pillows adorn needle thin sticks accompanied by large frosty vanilla cream sodas. Sticky vanilla salt water taffy and Gridling's funnel cakes blanketed in confectioner's sugar threaten to send blood sugar soaring far past the top of the Ferris wheel and on towards Polaris. The fresh outdoor autumn air weaves around the sweet treats with a hint of dirt, leaves and moss laced with woodsmoke. In a quiet corner of the fairground, a fortune is waiting to be told. Exotic tendrils of incense escape from underneath the tent flaps, swirling around you and beckoning you to enter.Foxcroft Fairgrounds is an olfactory kaleidoscope that is full of rich atmosphere. On initial application, a beautiful autumn air accord emerges while hugging a core of a deliciously crafted pink cotton candy accord and vanilla cream soda. The autumn air carries notes of dirt, leaves and moss laced with soft woodsmoke. Hints of vanilla salt water taffy and golden brown funnel cakes coated with powdered sugar dart around the edges after a few minutes. The cotton candy pushes toward the front and remains at the core of the scent through most of the wear time. On the fringes of the cotton candy core you will get different whiffs of notes each time you smell it. A soft exotic incense note blows through on one sniff, autumn air or sweet woodsmoke may entrance you on another. Cake and cotton candy may dance intimately at a later time. With 30 notes, Foxcroft Fairgrounds has plenty of layers to unfold and journey with.

Language Examples Czech Certain body parts and their modifying adjectives require in the instrumental and genitive plural cases dual forms: se svýma očima (instrumental dual: "with one's own (two) eyes") or u nohou (genitive dual: "at the (two) feet"). Colloquial Czech will often substitute the dual instrumental for the literary plural instrumental case. Polish Oko ("eye") and ucho ("ear") have plural stems deriving from old dual forms, and alternative instrumental and genitive plural forms with archaic dual endings: gen. pl. oczu/ócz/oczów, uszu/uszów; instr. pl. oczami/oczyma, uszami/uszyma. The declension of ręka ("hand, arm") also contains old dual forms (nom./acc./voc. pl ręce, instr. pl. rękami/rękoma, loc. sg./pl. rękach/ręku). The historically dual forms are usually used to refer a person's two hands (dziecko na ręku "child-in-arms"), while the regularized plural forms are used elsewhere. Other archaic dual forms, including dual verbs, can be encountered in older literature and in dialects: Jak nie chceta, to nie musita "If you don't want to, you don't have to". [18] Slovak In Slovak, the genitive plural and instrumental plural for the words "eyes" and "ears" has also retained its dual forms: očú/očí and ušú/uší. Ukrainian The words "eyes" and "shoulders" had dual forms in the instrumental plural case: очима ochyma ("eyes") and плечима plechyma ("shoulders"). Furthermore, the nominative plural word вуса vusa, which is the dual of вус vus ("whisker"), refers to the moustache, while the true nominative plural word вуси vusy refers to whiskers. Bulgarian Some words such as ръка răka "hand" use the originally dual form as a plural ( ръце rătse). Russian In Russian the word колено koleno ("knee", "tribe (Israelites)") has different plurals: колена kolena ("Israelites") is pure plural and колени koleni (body part) is a dual form. Some cases are different as well: коленами kolenami vs. коленями kolenyami (instr.pl. ).

Starting at GCAS June 8 and running through June 29: “An Object That is Not Oriented: Lacan’s 10th Seminar”. Seminar 10: Anxiety is among his most thorough explorations of objet a, the object-cause of desire, and contains rich discussions of subject, desire, drive, language, embodiment, affect, anxiety, and the Other. This course will explore issues of drive, desire, objet a, subjectivity, ego, and anxiety as one, among many, of the capitalist affects. Beginning with Søren Kierkegaard in the 19th Century and throughout the 20th century, anxiety has become an increasingly important affect in philosophy. Accompanying this rise of interest in philosophy, the 20th century has seen an explosion of anxiety disorders in the clinic. Within philosophy, anxiety has generally been seen as a privileged affect signalling our relationship to death, our status as a subject, and so on. In the clinic, theories of affect have ranged from organic causes pertaining to neuro-chemistry to an affect signalling repressed childhood traumas as in the case of phobias. However, the historical timing in which anxiety arises as a particularly significant affect for both philosophy and psychotherapy is symptomatic. Kierkegaard is writing on the eve of the Industrial Revolution. Capitalism, tracing its unfolding trajectory from the 15th century to present, has come into full bloom. As Nietzsche would later note in his lament about the death of God, the Enlightenment has progressively eroded all points of stability found in authority, kings, beings such as God, truth, and so on. Might it be that there is something about capitalism that is particularly conducive to the production of anxiety as an affect? Might it be that this affect pertains to a very special kind of object, the objet a, that both disorients and that is no object at all, and that is deeply wedded to or that becomes particularly prominent with respect to the meanderings and délire of capital? Could it be that there’s a specifically capitalist subject that is perpetually accompanied by affects such as anxiety and depression? These are some of the questions that will be explored in this course through a close reading of Lacan’s 10th seminar. No prior familiarity with Lacan is required. Requirements: Reading Lacan’s 10th Seminar. Information for registration is available on GCAS’s website.

Who can tell us what is right? If the judge share your opinion, how can he decide which is right? And if he shares both our opinions, how can he decide who is right? And if I, you, and another man can't arrive at a mutual understanding, can we find anyone else? (7) Then Chuang-tzu says that he cannot distinguish between himself dreaming a butterfly, conscious of being only a butterfly, and himself awakened from the butterfly dream. Did he dream the butterfly, he asks, or did the butterfly dream him, Chuang-tzu? As Chuang-tzu, he cannot make the final separation, which is also perhaps one between the genuineness or solidity of waking experience and the illusiveness or nothingness of dreaming. (8) The conclusion is not that the distinctions should be disregarded but that they should be accepted as inevitable, as part of the creative bounty of nature. The fact that only waking human beings are reflective does not tilt the balance in favor of being human and wake, because it is just this condition that raises the problem of identity and shows it to be insoluble. Chuang-tzu's solution is to accept everything without prejudice varying identities, varying states, and reflective doubts so that in the end, he believes, there are only the many distinctions and spontaneous mutual transformations. This Chinese example represents Chinese philosophy with exuberant humor and imagination. In contrast, my two Indian examples are specimens of more sober, more technically developed philosophy. The first is from Shriharsha, who flourished about 1150 C.E. (9) A court poet as well as a philosopher, he undertakes to destroy the pretensions of reason in order to defend his mystical faith in Brahman. Like preceding Indian skeptics, Shriharsha attacks philosophical systems from within, on their own terms. As is natural, his attack is aimed mostly at the school of Nyaya, which emphasizes logic and the technique of argument. The world Nyaya envisages is one of real, independent beings known by reliable perception and tested inference, that is, by the accepted means or criteria of knowledge, the Indian word for which is pramanas. As usual in Indian philosophy, he first puts the argument of his opponent or opponents, refutes the argument, and only then states his own position. One of the crucial tactics he uses is to attack philosophical definitions.

(Even Tizon’s piece, which was published posthumously and uses his damning closeness to his subject as a way to elucidate the otherwise invisible captivities of the Filipino katulong servant class, prompted an immediate backlash—which then prompted a backlash to the backlash, mainly among those who think Western readers have misunderstood Tizon’s understanding of his own position.) Writers seem less interested in mustering their own centrality than they were, and readers seem less excited at the prospect of being irritated by individual civilian personalities. “The political landscape has been so phantasmagoric that even the most sensationally interesting personal essays have lost some currency when not tied head-on to the news,” Bennett said in an e-mail. “There just hasn’t been much oxygen left for the kinds of essays that feel marginal or navel-gazey.” These days, she tends to see pitches “that center on systemic rather than personal trauma,” she added, “or on orienting personal trauma in our berserk new reality.” No more lost-tampon essays, in other words, in the age of Donald Trump. And yet I find myself missing aspects of the personal-essay Internet that the flashiest examples tended to obscure. I still think of the form as a valuable on-ramp, an immediate and vivid indication of a writer’s instincts—one that is accessible to first-time writers and young people who haven’t developed experience or connections. The Internet made the personal essay worse, as it does for most things. But I am moved by the negotiation of vulnerability. I never got tired of coming across a writerly style that seemed to exist for no good reason. I loved watching people try to figure out if they had something to say.

Haaretz 19 Dec — What kind of training do soldiers receive if they’re so frightened by a young kid with a knife that they shoot him in the back when he tries to flee? — The first image circulating on WhatsApp and Facebook showed the face of a boy lying on a rock, his panicked look combined with some curiosity, with a bloodstain on the rock. Even before that, when the soldiers stood in front of him and he held a knife in his hand, they noticed that he was scared. The first soldier who encountered him – as the boy hid in the bushes between a vineyard and a parking lot at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba – saw him raise the knife, say “Allahu Akbar” and, facing the loaded rifle, lower the knife and burst into tears. This is A.Z. His name is known to consumers of Palestinian media, but we are not allowed to write it in full or reveal his face. He was seriously wounded on September 23, underwent surgery and was charged with attempted manslaughter. And no, the Israeli soldiers sustained no injuries. Not even a scratch … About two and a half months passed until lawyers Nery Ramati and Akram Samara managed to track down the medical information from Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem. (It took time to discover that the injured boy was registered in the hospital under a fictitious identity number, and to find out the number.) The medical file confirms the lawyers’ original assertions, based on the small wound in the boy’s back (the bullet’s entry point) and large wound in the chest (the bullet’s exit point) and also based on what the boy said: He fled toward the vineyard, and then was shot. So far, the judges have accepted the soldier and military prosecutor’s version: That the soldier shot at the boy from the front. That’s why military Judge Yitzhak Ozodin and the president of the appeals court, Col. Netanel Benishu, rejected the requests to release the boy on bail. The president of the military youth court, Menachem Lieberman, is now meditating how to rule on the second request to release him on bail – based on the contradiction between the version of the soldier who fired and the medical file….

Flame Choke: You can use this to grab an enemy and drag them offstage with you. However, the point will go to the last person to strike that enemy before your grab. Greninja Water Shuriken: The longer this attack is charged, the shorter its range is. The uncharged version can be more useful for keeping a foe from approaching. Substitute: After successfully countering with this, input a direction and you'll appear in that direction and attack. Ike Down Smash Attack: The backward strike of Ike's down smash deals more damage and launches farther than the forward strike. Quick Draw: You'll be left defenseless after using this move in midair, but you'll be good to go if you use it right before you hit the ground. Aether: Ike will be protected from flinching while he prepares this attack. This move can send foes flying upward! Aether: During the downward strike, this attack has a meteor effect. You'll fall straight down until you hit solid ground, so make sure you aim well! Jigglypuff Shield: If its shield is shattered, Jigglypuff will get launched and KO'd no matter its damage. Down Smash Attack: This move attacks in front of you and behind you at the same time, and your legs are invincible as they kick. It launches foes perfectly horizontally. Rollout: While rolling on the ground, press in the opposite direction to make a quick turn. It won't work if you're airborne, but it'll slow you down. Rollout: When you hit a foe with this, you'll bounce up and then be unable to do anything until you land. Try to avoid hitting foes with it if you're trying to recover! Pound: A simple punch that travels horizontally. You can use it repeatedly in midair--combine it with jumps to stay aloft for a very long time. Pound: This move can lay waste to opponents' shields. You can adjust the direction slightly by inputting up or down in the air right before attacking. King Dedede Gordo Throw: Choose up, middle, or down right after starting this move to hit the Gordo in three different ways, changing how it bounces. Gordo Throw: Gordos will stick to any walls they hit. Try doing this on walls close to edges to cause serious trouble to enemies trying to climb up. Gordo Throw: With the right timing, an opponent can hit a Gordo back at you.

"that I must serve God by conforming to the Christian doctrine and laws of his church. (Christ's Bride). As to the second portion of the vision I could not conclude what it meant - at least in any satisfactory way (`a machine to go through the air' -- or in other words, the ark mentioned in the Book of Revelations!)" Things did not end there for Frederick William Birmingham. The Opening Gate On March 27, 1871, he was struck by the strange behaviour of the gate latch to his verandah. It seemed to mysteriously keep opening by itself even when under scrutiny. "I need hardly say I was astounded for a time... The thing has sunk deeply into my mind even to my very soul, and I now know that the power of god never sleeps. (The latch for years before and years after this occurrence never did rise without hands to it or hand and cane)." "A thing to be accomplished" "Day by day and at night in my wakeful moments I have often rehearsed the wonderful dreams I have had, and coupling them one day with the vision of the Lord Bishop's head and the latch rising, I came down from the hill in the Parramatta Park firmly convinced that the vision was gradually unfolding itself and `the machine to go through the air' was a thing (through God's mercy) to be accomplished. "I sat down at the same end of the table where from I saw the latch rise, calculating pressures etc. and taking a match box in my hand and letting it drop on the table I said aloud 'But, how in the name of goodness can I overcome 'gravity'.' I instantly felt in my left air a sound like that produced by pressing a large sea shell close to one's ear, and the words `Are not the sides greater than a third'. Becoming excited and in great joy I said aloud, "Yes, and the sides and bottom working together can overcome the top'. This was the first practical clue as to forming the interior parts of the machine I saw in the vision of the aforenamed night 25th - 26th July, 1868. (About three years and nine months had passed away viz to the 15th April, 1872)." THE BACKGROUND TO THE MANUSCRIPT Are we dealing with a copy of a legititmate historical document, or a literary hoax perpetrated more recently?

Crystal had crossed the blue wall of silence, a code among officers remarkably similar to that of the outlaws they arrest. The problem was not just that he had broken code, the lieutenant was suggesting, but that other officers could no longer trust him. Police work involves a lot of “real-life ambiguity,” said Moskos, the former Baltimore officer. An officer makes split-second decisions, to chase a suspect or not, to use force or not, to let a suspect go because it turned out he had no drugs on him or not. Those decisions are hard enough without having to worry about your partner going back to the station and filing a report stating that you made the wrong call. The code of silence conflicts with the laws on the books. In 2008, a jury awarded $1.4 million to three officers who had sued the Long Beach Police Department and its chief for failing to protect them against retaliation after they had reported that colleagues had gone lobster diving while on the clock. One of the officers had testified that the department’s chief had called them “malcontents” during a meeting. The Long Beach police chief was Anthony Batts. By the time Batts came to Baltimore in September 2012, nobody wanted to ride with Joe Crystal. It was unheard of for a narcotics cop to ride solo, multiple Baltimore officers said. When Crystal radioed for backup, no one would show. Eventually, his sergeant told him that the department was revoking his detective shield and sending him back to patrol. “Low performance” was the only explanation he got. “I felt like the floor dropped from under me,” he said. “Everything I worked so hard for was falling apart.” Still, he was sure time would fix things, and he seemed right. After a few transfers, he ended up in a gang unit with bosses who treated him well, and by 2013 he was back to doing serious police work, including a role in the investigation that brought down Black Guerilla Family gang leader Tavon White. “2013 was a good year,” he said. But the year ended poorly for him. His bosses were promoted or transferred, replaced by unfriendly faces. His new lieutenant was the one he’d left in the violent crimes unit, and his new major was once Gialamas’ partner. Crystal soon found himself working what he considered dead-end details on minor cases.

And, much later, Harvard professor Clayton Christensen coined the term disrupt, which has become a favorite in today’s climate of start-up worship. But more importantly, academics have had a big effect on how workers work, all thanks to one group of people: consultants.

Shape Created with Sketch. 6 ways Britain leaving the EU will affect you Show all 6 left Created with Sketch. right Created with Sketch. Shape Created with Sketch. 6 ways Britain leaving the EU will affect you 1/6 More expensive foreign holidays The first practical effect of a vote to Leave is that the pound will be worth less abroad, meaning foreign holidays will cost us more nito100 2/6 No immediate change in immigration status The Prime Minister will have to address other immediate concerns. He is likely to reassure nationals of other EU countries living in the UK that their status is unchanged. That is what the Leave campaign has said, so, even after the Brexit negotiations are complete, those who are already in the UK would be allowed to stay Getty 3/6 Higher inflation A lower pound means that imports would become more expensive. This is likely to mean the return of inflation – a phenomenon with which many of us are unfamiliar because prices have been stable for so long, rising at no more than about 2 per cent a year. The effect may probably not be particularly noticeable in the first few months. At first price rises would be confined to imported goods – food and clothes being the most obvious – but inflation has a tendency to spread and to gain its own momentum AFP/Getty Images 4/6 Interest rates might rise The trouble with inflation is that the Bank of England has a legal obligation to keep it as close to 2 per cent a year as possible. If a fall in the pound threatens to push prices up faster than this, the Bank will raise interest rates. This acts against inflation in three ways. First, it makes the pound more attractive, because deposits in pounds will earn higher interest. Second, it reduces demand by putting up the cost of borrowing, and especially by taking larger mortgage payments out of the economy. Third, it makes it more expensive for businesses to borrow to expand output Getty 5/6 Did somebody say recession? Mr Carney, the Treasury and a range of international economists have warned about this. Many Leave voters appear not to have believed them, or to think that they are exaggerating small, long-term effects. But there is no doubt that the Leave vote is a negative shock to the economy. This is because it changes expectations about the economy’s future performance.

The two behave as a singular entity.This unified tool of media manipulation is often used by corrupt government officials as well. We may keep this in mind as we observe just how bias the corporate media has been toward the Trump administration since he came into the presidential race. Without taking sides, let's examine.We may remember how numerous journalists were found to be on the personal payroll of Hillary Clinton just before the election process began. For all of those who understand the strong potential for media compromise in the U.S., this should have raised major red flags. This overt media bias showed many Americans just how thoroughly slanted corporate media can be.

When you picture an asshole just who do you see? A fedora-clad guy with a stupid goatee? Or maybe an I-banker straight from the 80s Who screams in his cell phone and drives a mercedes. A frat guy who reeks of deodorant smell? That fucker named Tucker who wants beer in hell? Yes, these are all assholes. The biggest around. But you needn’t look hard for some more to be found. They’re here all around you. They’re near and they’re far. But which ones are assholes? Well, all of them are! “But that just can’t be,” I can hear you debate. “I know some of them, and I think they they’re great. I call these folks ‘friends’ and I think that they’re swell. What makes these guys assholes I ask you, pray tell?” Your friends can be be friendly, but sometimes they’re not And then they’re an asshole. Now who would’ve thought? John is an asshole ’cause he takes out his phone when you’re talking to him and you two are alone. Izzy ignores every one of your e-mails And Cory tells stories that denigrate females. Tara is tardy at times you should meet So you’re stuck in the cinema saving her seat. Freddy is flaky, Nina’s all-knowing, Anne never asks you how your life is going. Ron retells jokes he discovered on Reddit And reposts this poem (but doesn’t give credit). “Okay,” you may say, “My friends can be classless, And perhaps they resemble the holes of some asses. But there’s billions of people, and surely there’s some Who can be called more than a hole in a bum.” But no, it’s not so. Everyone can be awful, And do things distasteful, uncouth, and unlawful. Greg goes to parties and plays a guitar. Chris cuts you off in his shiny new car. Brit goes to birthdays and never brings beer. When Mark plays his music the whole train can hear. Luke goes online leaving long-winded comments, Screeds full of meanness and empty of content. Fran leaves her phone on when others perform. Kim conflates communes with health care reform. Bradley will brag about how much he’s paid And still he’ll complain of the cost of his maid. Of course, I’M an asshole with all that I write Pretending that these observations aren’t trite. And don’t think I forgot in this hullabaloo That the most special asshole of all here is you! Of course, that’s not true.

Begin to identify when your kid has pushed a button, and use it as an opportunity to grapple with your shit. I hate it when one of my kids stumbles onto something painful in me. Hate it. But if I'm able to pick up the rock of discomfort and look under it, usually there is something gross and disgusting that has been waiting to see the light. And if given enough light, it usually shrivels and dies. Only then am I able to say, "Riley -- what you did is a big deal, because we do live in a world where boys sometimes think they can touch girls however they want. So it's really important that no matter how much fun it might seem, you always listen when a girl tells you she doesn't like what you're doing. Do you understand?" And then I'm able to have a developmentally-appropriate conversation about him that doesn't start with an accusation of him "contributing to rape culture." We will totally get there with him -- just not at age eight. Practice mindfulness. Eek! I'm scared to even write this. I'm always worried about getting too touchy-feely, and I consider myself to be science- and evidence-based in my life and in my parenting. Well, it turns out that meditation, or other mindfulness practices, are singularly successful in building empathy. The deep breaths I take when I'm feeling reactive -- that's mindfulness. Anger is the only emotion that doesn't require breath. Joy and sadness both need breath to survive, and I'd rather be sad and vulnerable than angry. I struggle quite a bit with attention and focus, so traditional meditation has been hard for me (I get bored and my mind wanders and I don't seem to be able to master it, even after trying many times). So I actually use a meditation app for kids, called Smiling Mind. The kids and I do it together, and the five-minute guided exercises (read by a sexy-sounding Australian) work great for me AND the kids. Their energy becomes much more focused, as does mine. This type of work will help you slowly identify (and eventually master) your reactions. You'll soon be able to notice when you're having a disproportionate reaction to something, which is all you need to stop yourself from reacting... and start responding instead.

To some local media outlets, the deal was yet another example of enforcement problems in the state. “This tepid response to reprehensible threats of environmental problems related to coal ash only underscores the attitude of the governor and GOP legislative leaders that business should be left alone with regards to regulation,” read an editorial in The News & Observer about the deal. An administrative court had issued the order approving the settlement, yet the groundwater claims were under review in another court, so environmental groups immediately challenged the administrative court’s approval. In 2016, a Wake County judge, Paul Ridgeway, questioned the legality of the approval. He required that Duke Energy and the state alter the language of the order approving the settlement so that it would not apply to all groundwater claims. He also questioned the language of the original settlement. “I do find that the circumstances of this agreement—and quite frankly the insistence of clinging to the language of this agreement—is disturbing,” Ridgeway said to lawyers in court, according to The News & Observer. “I have to suspect that there’s some ulterior motive.” Amy Brown knew nothing about coal ash when she and her husband moved to Belmont in 2006. Drawn to the area by the good schools and quiet streets, the Browns bought a house at the end of a road, where their sons can safely ride their bikes. Their house has an in-ground pool, where the family used to have big parties every summer. And the neighborhood feels more rural than its proximity to Charlotte—just 30 minutes away without traffic—would suggest. The Browns weren’t concerned that the house was just a stone’s throw from Duke Energy’s Allen power plant: Such plants have been outfitted with emissions technologies that make them much cleaner than they used to be, and Brown said she barely noticed the plant. “It’s not like I can see a big, ugly, nasty pit through the trees,” she told me.

I had a couple memories from spending a little bit of time with him, but it -- in my situation, whatever set of things I was given as a child, I turned to a sense of faith that was kind of founded in an understanding of the absurdity of what goes on here, but supported by a belief in something bigger than myself. KING: And you were using this at 14? GRAMMER: Yes, absolutely. KING: They were divorced, your parents, right? GRAMMER: Yeah, that's right. KING: Were you close with your mother? GRAMMER: Well, close enough. KING: Did she handled it badly? GRAMMER: Well, you know, my mom actually was -- they didn't -- hadn't lived together for many, many, years, but I remember the day she told me what had happened. She got the news, we were driving home from school, and she just broke down, uncontrollably, and I realized that there was a great sense loss to her. KING: When did Kelsey Grammer want to do what he does now? When did he... GRAMMER: Oh, I figured that out -- actually, when I was 16 years old. I did a play, "The Little Foxes" by Lillian Hellman, and I got a standing ovation that night, and I said, "You know, this is pretty good." KING: That's it. Did you also like that you could go into other people? GRAMMER: I loved discovering the human -- the human experience through fantasies that have been written by other people. I mean, I love fleshing them out, feeling them, breathing life into them. That does turn me on. To create a human being, basically. I read once in some simple history book, it said that all great art is a true lie. And I guess that's -- that is what turns me on. KING: So it's printed on the page, that's all it is, it says: "Frasier shall... GRAMMER: Yeah, and we breath life into him. KING: You have to make Frasier jump off that page. GRAMMER: Absolutely. KING: More in a minute with Kelsey Grammer. What a great pleasure to have with him. You see him on screen now in "15 Minutes." That sounded like "He'll be back in 15 minutes." The movie is "15 Minutes," we'll be right back. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, "15 MINUTES") GRAMMER: Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Look, it doesn't work that way.

Art Barrios and Anthony Fellow, the other surviving council members who voted on the measure, did not respond to requests for comment. Neither did then-mayor Rachel Montes, whose signature appears on the resolution authorizing the supplemental pensions. None of the elected officials who approved the plan receive benefits through it. Johanson, who signed the final agreements with PARS, said the plan was seen as a way to attract and retain talented employees. “Times were good in El Monte,” he said. “We could afford it.” May 9, 2000 No opposition El Monte’s five-member city council approved the supplemental plan unanimously. Johanson retired in 2003 with a final salary of $197,000. With cost of living increases, his combined pay from his CalPERS and supplemental pensions reached $252,687 this year, state and city records show. Charles Hoffman, 65, a retired employee of Pasadena’s Water and Power Department, is one of the few El Monte residents who regularly attend city council meetings. Hoffman said he has heard city pensions mentioned in passing at meetings, but had no idea how much they cost taxpayers. Former employees who get paid more in retirement than they did when active “are just slopping at the public trough,” Hoffman said. “They’re taking advantage of the system.” “ (They) are just slopping at the public trough. They’re taking advantage of the system.” ” — Charles Hoffman, retired employee of Pasadena’s Water and Power Department Share this quote Charles Hoffman, 65, center, is a rarity in El Monte – a resident who regularly attends city council meetings.

Conversely, scopolamine could have increased the sense of effort expenditure to a greater degree in workers rather than slackers, thereby leading to the observed decrease in effortful choice predominantly in this harder-working group. Further disentangling these putative contributions of acetylcholine to decision making, for example by elucidating cortical versus striatal cholinergic influence on choice at baseline and in response to drug challenge, will be a focus of future research utilizing the rCET.

members, who could be found, he said, “in city hall, Fort Carson, NORAD, the Air Force Academy, and the Olympic Training Center. And yes, N.R.A. members are surely among the police and fire and SWAT team heroes who risked their lives to rescue the students at Columbine. Don’t come here? We’re already here.” The following year, Heston taunted then presidential candidate Al Gore, saying that Gore could have Heston’s gun when he pried it “from my cold, dead hands.” In Congress, the N.R.A. would rack up win after win—in many places today it is easier to buy a gun than rent a car. One momentary setback was the assault-weapons ban of 1994; it has since expired. A major victory was the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, in 2005, which barred lawsuits against gun-makers in the event of “misuse” of firearms by others. This is the N.R.A. that we now take for granted, but it has existed as such for little more than a generation. And the crucial takeaway from recent history is that the N.R.A. is not a monolith. It is malleable. III. Thunder on the Right

A. a b c d e Half points are awarded when a race cannot be restarted and less than 75 per cent of the race distance has been completed. [7] B. a From the 2000 season, races stopped after two laps but before three-quarters race distance had been completed would be restarted with the cars lining up on the grid in the order they were at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the red flag was shown. Only the race order and number of laps completed was taken into account for the new race, time differences between the cars were voided. The distance of the new race was the number of laps remaining from the original races, less three laps. [83][84] C. a This was the first Grand Prix to be resumed despite 75% of the race distance having been completed, due to a 2005 regulation change that saw the terms "stopping" and "restarting" a race replaced with "suspending" and "resuming". Under the new regulations, regardless of distance completed, all races would be resumed behind the safety car with the cars in the order they were at the time of the red flag, once it was safe to do so. Only in the event that it was not possible to resume the race (including the four-hour rule) would a result be declared from the penultimate lap before the lap during which the red flag was shown. [85] D. a b c d e f g h i j k l Race was stopped behind the safety car. E. a When Jos Verstappen stalled his car on the grid, Race Director Charlie Whiting attempted to abort the start, a procedure that is carried out when a car is stalled before the lights go out. However, the lights went out before he had the chance to do so, and as a result the lights afterwards displayed the standard 5 red lights and 3 amber lights. The race was immediately stopped, but the red flag was not displayed until the cars came to the start/finish line. As is the case when a start is aborted, the race was shortened by one lap as the cars were not refuelled, but Verstappen was allowed to regain his original grid position in 15th. F. a b The race was restarted with the intention of completing the originally scheduled distance, which was only prevented by the second red flag.

), but later on she was more reflective. “In some ways, I wanted to be the mayor because I had seen all these moments of opportunity pass Oakland by, and I could see that we were in another one of those moments,” she told me. “But I did not anticipate that we would be so successful in actually catching this one.” She paused. “I’d like to think that as Oakland begins to prosper, the biggest beneficiaries will be the people who’ve been here through the hard times. But the truth is that we’ve become too successful too quickly.” She smiled wanly. “It’s ironic that our biggest success is also our biggest failure.” In the wake of the Ghost Ship fire, Schaaf told me, she had felt depressed — partly because of the tragedy itself but also because of “this feeling that people hate government. They hate it getting into their private lives, they don’t want us in their homes, they don’t want us raising their taxes, they don’t want us inspecting them all the time. Until something bad happens, and then it’s our fault. It’s like you cannot win.” Despite this, Schaaf remains uncynical — at times, almost eerily so. At one point, while we were talking in her office, I tried to ask Schaaf why she found it so gratifying to do things like attend community meetings. Schaaf seemed mystified by the question. She quoted Margaret Mead (“Never doubt that a small, committed group of citizens can change the world”) and then talked about the value of the commons and the idea that government represents our best collective selves. Not long after, she launched into a saccharine account of “Luis, who is going to college thanks to the Oakland Promise.” She finished by fetching a commemorative album and showing me a photo of Luis, adding, “I cannot tell you how incredible I felt the day we launched the Oakland Promise. I always say it comes in second only to my wedding day.” When I repeated the question, Derryck, who had been listening, jumped in. “Like, on the worst days, why do you get up?” she asked the mayor. Schaaf nodded but then pivoted into what sounded like a rehearsed speech. “To me, Oakland represents diversity and inclusion. It represents what cities should be: places of opportunity for everyone.” She went on to describe the city’s “gritty authenticity” and progressive values.

India's property sector was already battling a slowdown last year, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi's crackdown on cash quashed any hope of an imminent revival.Removing 86 percent of cash, at the time a key part of many real-estate transactions, dented sales and new launches of residential projects, which make up 80 percent of the market. The government's clean-up measures have since continued, with new home-buyer protections rolled out in May and the nationwide sales tax or GST in July, both further constraining the industry as developers focused on compliance.Underlying all these changes is PM Modi's aim of hobbling the shadow economy and widening the tax net. That real-estate was hit hard isn't surprising when you consider the sector was last year estimated to account for a large share of illicit deals that use untaxed wealth stashed as cash. While Knight Frank LLP reckons India's housing market has been Asia's top performer over five years, prices have been mostly stagnant following demonetization. "Time and again, the back-to-back policy regulations reinforced a slowdown of sorts in an already sluggish market," said Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director of Knight Frank India, a property consultant. "The next 12 to 18 months are likely to be the 'under observation' period for the real estate sector. "Project launches across India's top seven cities declined 60 percent in the quarter ended Sept. 30, from the final three months of 2016 when demonetization was announced, according to Anarock Property Consultant. Sales dropped 32 percent over the same period, it said. "We have effectively lost five months of business in this year because of these disruptions," said Surendra Hiranandani, chairman and managing director of Hiranandani Group, pointing to the new consumer law and sales levy as having a greater impact than the cash ban.Still, the new protections have armed home buyers against India's notoriously unreliable developers and the chronic delays that were endemic in the industry. The law's punitive measures are forcing developers to defer launches and instead focus on completing projects and offloading inventory. In the past year, home buyers' use of cash for property purchases has almost halved to 20 percent to 25 percent of the total price, according to Anshuman Mishra, co-founder and CEO of LoanAdda.com, an online aggregator of financial products and services. "It was shock therapy against the parallel economy," Jaxay Shah, president of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association, said in an interview.

He was fresh from the best region in the US, and he loves the damn game like crazy. He made things much easier since I could run things with him.Second, Drakefang who is the one who hosted the stream, invited us to his place. Drakefang is the owner of ArcadeStream, one of the few arcades left in Korea for competitive Street Fighter players. He’s a computer programmer by day, bar owner/live streamer/gamer at night.I had my doubts, and I had heard negative things about the Street Fighter scene that Drake was a part of in Korea. I was wrong. His setup is really really good.That is where we are today, trying to host monthlies with a live-stream and consistent players.To follow up, who do you think are the best players and contributors to your scene and who are the ones with the most potential?#1 is definitely me. I’ve been the most consistent for a long long time in Korea. I won all the previous ROK Rumbles, even if they were just house tournaments#2 should be Josh, although he just lost to Kevin (our probable #3). I like Josh’s play-style, but he has a lot of inconsistencies. I would say peak peak Josh is really good, but our community can be harsh. I think people saw him lose on stream which was big.#3 is Kevin aka I’m the Nalls. Which is a horrible tag by the way! Kevin is from upstate New York, excellent player in his own right but inconsistent as well.MYL, Marcus, will always have OG status because we started the scene together. He lives in SoCal right now and he is super good.The future hope is Eric Kim, he’s Korean Korean and probably our #4-5. He is a legit product of the post EVO 2013 and Documentary era. He never played Smash in America and he is learning here.Where do you think the Korean scene will go from here? What steps are you guys taking in order to grow even further?That’s by far the most important question. I’m old school, so my answer might not reflect the rest of our small community. I just want more players to play in Korea. We will most likely never have a ‘god-level’ player live in Korea. That is an unrealistic hope.The real goal for us is to have a situation in Korea where, players should be able to play Melee WHENEVER they feel like.

Instead, we rank-ordered the stimuli based on their tempi obtained from the tapping experiment and picked the five slowest, the five medial, and the five fastest stimuli to perform a series of ANOVAs on these three groups. The tempi of the stimuli in these groups ranged from 73 to 87 bpm, from 113 to 125 bpm, and from 138 to 154 bpm. The results of the ANOVAs are shown in Table . Table 3 F(2, 897) p Speed of center of mass 0.36 0.70 Speed of head 0.55 0.58 Speed of hands 0.58 0.56 Speed of feet 0.40 0.67 Hand distance 0.06 0.94 Amount of movement 1.35 0.26 Hip wiggle 1.64 0.19 Shoulder wiggle 0.42 0.66 Open in a separate window As none of the ANOVAs showed significant differences between the groups, the tempo of our set of stimuli failed to have any significant effect on the movement features.

Instead of uniformity and as what is practiced in other countries with a military tradition, in Spain as well, King Juan Carlos I in 1981 accepted the proposal of the CSA to equip two companies, which could render honors and participate in established ceremonies special in character, with the uniforms and armaments of the end of the reign of Charles III. The period chosen was that from 1780 to 1786, during which in accordance with the organization of Spanish Infantry, each Regiment had two Battalions, each one formed of nine companies, one of grenadiers and eight of fusiliers. The description in detail of the uniform is as follows: Fusilier uniforms Edit The first honor guard company wears a white uniform, with the green emblem, that of the King, by special grace it was dressed elegantly in the colors of the Royal Household troops, and as a special grace they wore botoneras on the vest and dress coat. The second company wears a blue uniform. Grenadier uniform Edit Grenadiers in the modern 1st King's Immemorial Infantry Regiment are not permitted to wear glasses, but beards have recently been permitted. Historically selection for the grenadier companies of the Spanish infantry was a distinction normally reserved for the bravest and tallest soldiers of a regiment. These picked men marched at the head of the regiment, escorted the colors and were expected to form the vanguard when storming a fortified position. They wore short sabers, a distinction retained in the modern regiment. The high grenadier cap still worn, augmented their stature and the brass mechero on the strap of the cartridge pouch and the sardinetas worn on their cuffs distinguished these elite companies. The uniform is worn by staff personnel and the marker unit (gastadores). Early 20th century full dress Edit In addition to the 18th century uniforms described above, the 1st King's Immemorial Infantry Regiment parades detachments of up to company strength, plus the regimental band, in the full dress uniform of the Spanish line infantry, as worn during the reign of King Alfonso XIII (1902-1931). This consists of the distinctive "ros" (shako), dark blue tunics with red facings and red trousers.

So, back to yesterday – Shopping was fun though I have to say I was a little paranoid. Being wheeled about and now wearing a hat. It was obvious that something was wrong with me and that was a bit hard to take. I’ve always been so healthy and independant. Hell, it wasn’t – that – long ago that I was playing baseball 6 days a week and working 8 hours a day. To go from that, to this, is hard at times. But I battle on and I will continue to do so. It won’t beat me. After coming home I was tired and just feeling down generally. I was supposed to go over to Rachaels for Tylars birthday cake but decided I’d stay home. I was chatting to my Italian friend online and he gave me a youtube link to watch. It was the most heartwrenching thing I had ever seen. So many say that I’m an inspiration to others by my so called strength and will to fight my disease. What my friend did inspired me to get up off my ass and stop sulking then drive to my sisters house for my nephews birthday. After him talking to me and showing that link, I decided there and then that I will not miss any significant opportunities again. So it was a nice night being there. Emotional when I first got out of the car and looked at my sister and mum. They both had tears in their eyes because it was the first time they’d seen me since losing my hair. It wasn’t sad really, it was a beautiful moment. That probably makes no sense, but it was. Unfortunately, it was cut short when I happened to look down at my feet and noticed they’d swollen to the size of balloons. The first thought of course was blood clots which apparently can happen easily. So off to the hospital once more for more blood tests, more observations, more prodding and poking. The doctor was lovely but damn, he sucked with needles. Just when the last lot of bruises had disappeared, now there are more. The blood tests were fine so was allowed to go home at about 4am providing I had untrasounds the following day on my legs. I did and all was fine except for how much it hurt. I never believed an ultrasound could be so painful.

In Sgt. Mason’s experience, when someone asked if they were in trouble, almost always, they were. When Mason, accompanied by Detective Rittgarn, went to pick up Marie at about 3:30 p.m., they found her outside her apartment, sitting on the grass. The three went to the Lynnwood police station, where the detectives escorted Marie to a conference room. From what Mason wrote up later, he wasted little time confronting Marie, telling her there were inconsistencies between her statements and accounts from other witnesses. Marie said she didn’t know of any discrepancies. But she went through the story again — only this time, saying she believed the rape had happened instead of saying it for certain. Tearfully, she described her past — all the foster parents, being raped when she was 7, getting her own place and feeling alone. Rittgarn told Marie that her story and the evidence didn’t match. He said he believed she had made the story up — a spur-of-the-moment thing, not something planned out. He asked if there was really a rapist running around the neighborhood that the police should be looking for. “No,” Marie told him, her voice soft, her eyes down. “Based on her answers and body language it was apparent that [Marie] was lying about the rape,” Rittgarn later wrote. Without reading Marie her rights — you have the right to an attorney, you have the right to remain silent — the detectives asked Marie to write out the true story, admitting she had lied, admitting, in effect, that she had committed a crime. She agreed, so they left her alone for a few minutes. On the form she filled in her name, address and social security number, and then she wrote, in part: I was talking to Jordan on the phone that night about his day and just about anything. After I got off the phone with him, I started thinking about all things I was stressed out and I also was scared living on my own. When I went to sleep I dreamed that someone broke in and raped me. When the detectives returned, they saw that Marie’s new statement described the rape as a dream, not a lie. Why didn’t you write that you made the story up? Rittgarn asked. Marie, crying, said she believed the rape really happened. She pounded the table and said she was “pretty positive.” Pretty positive or actually positive? Rittgarn asked.

Oreo introducesthat offers you to manage each app individually with "fine-grained control," allowing you to control how many notifications you see and how they come through.For example, in case of any news app, you will be able to select what areas you are interested in hearing about.So, to check your notifications, you simply need to tap the three notification dots.Google has introduced a new feature, called, which is a similar feature to Apple's Find my iPhone and allows people to locate, lock and wipe their Android devices in the event when they go missing or get stolen.Android Oreo introduces 60 new emoji and a redesign of the current "blob" characters. The update also offers new colour support to app developers and the ability to change or animate the shape of icons in their apps.The "" feature in Android Oreo is not for the end user, and instead, this feature is meant for app developers, allowing them to release their apps without packaging fonts inside. The fonts can then be downloaded by the app from a shared provider and support library.This same implementation also supports "," so users can get updated emoji without just being limited to the emoji built into the device.

A skull which had been found in a garden on 20 May[56] (which was not initially connected with later skeletal discoveries) was identified as that of the missing youth. A friend of Witzel identified a police officer seen in the company of the youth the day prior to his disappearance as Haarmann. Confronted with this evidence, Haarmann briefly attempted to bluster his way out of these latest and most damning pieces of evidence. When Witzel's jacket was found in the possession of his landlady and he was confronted with various witnesses' testimony as to his destroying identification marks upon the clothing, he broke down and had to be supported by his sister. [n 5] Confession Edit Faced with this latest evidence, and upon the urging of his sister,[67] Haarmann confessed to raping, killing and dismembering many young men in what he initially described as a "rabid sexual passion"[67] between 1918 and 1924. According to Haarmann, he never actually intended to murder any of his victims, but would be seized by an irresistible urge to bite into or through their Adam's apple[68]—often as he manually strangled them—in the throes of ecstasy, before typically collapsing atop the victim's body. Only one intended victim had escaped from Haarmann's apartment after he attempted to bite into his Adam's apple, although this individual is not known to have reported the attack to police. [69] All of Haarmann's victims' bodies were disposed of via dismemberment shortly after their murder, and Haarmann was insistent that he found the act of dismemberment extremely unpleasant; he had, he stated, been ill for eight days after his first murder. [70] Nonetheless, Haarmann was insistent that his passion at the moment of murder was invariably "stronger than the horror of the cutting and the chopping" which would inevitably follow, and would typically take up to two days to complete. [71] To fortify himself to dismember his victims' bodies, Haarmann would pour himself a cup of strong black coffee,[72] then place the body of his victim upon the floor of this apartment and cover the face with cloth, before first removing the intestines, which he would place inside a bucket. A towel would then be repeatedly placed inside the abdominal cavity to soak the collecting blood. He would then make three cuts between the victim's ribs and shoulders, then "take hold of the ribs and push until the bones around the shoulders broke.

We'll have more details on that as the dates firm up. But I know I will be kicking things off myself on Friday, September 23. (And while I cannot promise a taco truck on every corner, we do hope to have a wide variety of food trucks turning up in front of the JCC at peak times, offering all sorts of tasty treats).

Rule 9: Connect Textual Statements to Underlying Results Throughout a typical research project, a range of different analyses are tried and interpretation of the results made. Although the results of analyses and their corresponding textual interpretations are clearly interconnected at the conceptual level, they tend to live quite separate lives in their representations: results usually live on a data area on a server or personal computer, while interpretations live in text documents in the form of personal notes or emails to collaborators. Such textual interpretations are not generally mere shadows of the results—they often involve viewing the results in light of other theories and results. As such, they carry extra information, while at the same time having their necessary support in a given result. If you want to reevaluate your previous interpretations, or allow peers to make their own assessment of claims you make in a scientific paper, you will have to connect a given textual statement (interpretation, claim, conclusion) to the precise results underlying the statement. Making this connection when it is needed may be difficult and error-prone, as it may be hard to locate the exact result underlying and supporting the statement from a large pool of different analyses with various versions. To allow efficient retrieval of details behind textual statements, we suggest that statements are connected to underlying results already from the time the statements are initially formulated (for instance in notes or emails). Such a connection can for instance be a simple file path to detailed results, or the ID of a result in an analysis framework, included within the text itself. For an even tighter integration, there are tools available to help integrate reproducible analyses directly into textual documents, such as Sweave [19], the GenePattern Word add-in [4], and Galaxy Pages [20]. These solutions can also subsequently be used in connection with publications, as discussed in the next rule. As a minimum, you should provide enough details along with your textual interpretations so as to allow the exact underlying results, or at least some related results, to be tracked down in the future.

The Detroit Lions have done their homework for a possible trade into the top five of next week's NFL draft. That includes hosting Jadeveon Clowney, Sammy Watkins and Khalil Mack, each of whom is considered the best player at his position. But is any of them worth the price that will be required for a trade up? Fewer picks means fewer opportunities to draft starters. And that's not how many of the NFL's best teams have been built. "If you look at the top teams in the league -- the teams that are consistently winning in the National Football League -- they're the teams that are drafting well," ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said Wednesday on a conference call with reporters. "They're not giving up picks, they're not going three years without a first- or second-round pick like Carolina did. "They're not jeopardizing nine first- or second-round picks like Washington did over a seven- or eight-year span. Those are the teams that bounce up and down and they really have to rely so much on free agency they wind up overpaying." The Green Bay Packers are the paragon of McShay's philosophy. They lead the NFL with 33 homegrown players on their roster, and are a perennial playoff contender. The Falcons, 49ers, Ravens and Bengals follow with 30 active players they drafted, while the Patriots are at 29. Detroit has 27. Quite simply, rookies are cheaper. So hitting in the draft builds depth cheaply, which frees up funds for free agents. McShay says the magic number is three. "If every year you draft three solid or great starters, you can replace your roster and keep it rolling," McShay said. "The teams that have four are usually the teams in the playoffs just about every single year." The Lions had that kind of success last year. They got a productive starter at No. 5 overall in Ezekiel Ansah. But they also got a starter in the third round (right guard Larry Warford) and fifth round (punter Sam Martin), plus part-time starters in the second round (cornerback Darius Slay) and in the undrafted free-agent market (offensive tackle LaAdrian Waddle and tight end Joseph Fauria). Detroit also is high on fourth-rounder Devin Taylor, a promising defensive end. That was a heck of a haul -- perhaps the best in the NFL -- and helped fortify multiple positions of weakness in a single year.

The singer was a genius, the trumpeter-leader a kind of genius. The band was terrific. The world would fall at both men’s feet in a few years. But not everyone was thrilled at first: both Sinatra and Harry James seemed to be simply ahead of their time. James blew hot and hard, a style that delighted critics but didn’t always sit well with country-club and society-ballroom and nightclub audiences. They didn’t want to listen, they wanted to dance close and slow … and go home and make babies who would grow up and go to country clubs and society ballrooms and dance close and slow. A nice society band, a Lawrence Welk or an Eddy Duchin outfit, was simply more adequate to the purpose than a group that made you sit up and take notice. And Frank Sinatra—well, Sinatra, for his part, was an acquired taste at first. Especially for the critics. During a Chicago stand, a Billboard reviewer wrote that Sinatra sang “the torchy ballads in a pleasing way in good voice,” but then went on: “He touches the songs with a little too much pash, which is not all convincing.” Or maybe all that pash was simply unsettling because it was so new. Among the smooth-as-silk baritones of the day, led by Bing Crosby, Sinatra was an anomaly, a hot artist rather than a cool one, a harbinger of his own singular future. Harry James, too, was a hot artist: a hepcat, a weed-puffing wild man. He was also a strangely self-defeating character—alcoholic, remote, and persistently broke. That summer, he lost everything he had in a settlement over an auto accident. (Connie Haines, whose salary he could no longer afford, had to leave.) And in a country crowded with big-band talent—Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Charlie Barnet, Count Basie, Jimmy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Bob Crosby, Jimmie Lunceford, Glenn Miller, and Artie Shaw were all crisscrossing the land with their outfits in the swinging late 30s and early 40s—James was having a hard time making a go of it. Some nights, as the band worked their way westward, they pulled down only $350—and that had to pay 17 musicians and a bus driver, not to mention defray the costs of food, gas, and accommodations. There were times the outfit seemed snakebit. Bookings were scattershot; morale was sinking fast.

He also cast his vice presidential vote for Toni Nathan, the Libertarian vice presidential candidate, (making Nathan the first woman to receive an electoral vote). MacBride ran as the Libertarian candidate for president in the next election but did not receive any electoral votes. 1968 - Dr. Lloyd W. Bailey (Republican, North Carolina) Dr. Lloyd W. Bailey was an elector for the Republican Party of North Carolina. He did not vote for Richard Nixon however, but for George Wallace, the presidential candidate for the American Independence Party. (Wallace received a total of 46 electoral votes). Bailey claimed that Nixon had done some things that displeased him (like appointing Henry Kissinger and Daniel Moynihan) and so he decided not to vote for him. He also protested that he had never signed a pledge promising to vote for any particular candidate and that his vote for Wallace was justified because Wallace was the winner in Bailey’s district. Bailey later admitted at a Senate hearing that he would have voted for Richard Nixon if his vote would have altered the outcome of the election. 1960 - Henry D. Irwin (Republican, Oklahoma) Henry D. Irwin, a Republican elector from Oklahoma, was originally pledged to Richard Nixon. Irwin later admitted in an interview with CBS that he "could not stomach" Nixon. He tried to convince the Democratic and Republican electors to reject both Kennedy and Nixon as presidential candidates. His choice replacement was a combination of two conservative senators: Harry F. Byrd of Virginia and Barry Goldwater of Arizona. In fact, he sent out telegrams to the other electors. One telegram sent to the 218 Republican electors read: "I am Oklahoma Republican elector. The Republican electors cannot deny the election to Kennedy. Sufficient conservative Democratic electors available to deny labor Socialist nominee. Would you consider Byrd President, Goldwater Vice President, or wire any acceptable substitute. All replies strict confidence." Irwin received several replies (about 40) from other electors but he was the only one to vote against his designated party. He cast his electoral votes for Byrd and Goldwater. In the same election 14 unpledged electors (eight from Mississippi and six from Alabama) cast their presidential votes for Harry Byrd. All 14 also voted for Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina as vice president. 1956 - W. F. Turner (Democrat, Alabama) W.F. Turner, a Democratic elector from Alabama, voted for Walter Burgwyn Jones instead of the Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson.

But there are two elements that changed Yen and her behavior, namely Geralt and Ciri. Geralt gave her back self-assurance and empowered her to some kind of self-love again. She is used to relationships to other sorcerers, which are often just sexual and not really deep. Geralt and Yen are bound by the last wish, but we don't really know if they are just bound together by destiny or if there is more to it. During the books there is a progression in their relationship that goes from "I don't know what's between us" to "I love you". At the end of the books it is pretty much sure that there is much more between Yen and Geralt than just destiny. Ciri is of course both destiny and "social putty" between them. After some time, Ciri becomes the substitute for Yen's own child she can never get. They begin a natural mother-daughter relationship which frees Yen at least partially from her endless cure for her fertility trauma. With Ciri and Geralt she knows two people she actually and truly cares about. So much that she is ready to sacrifice herself for either of them which is a pretty outstanding trait for a sorceress in that world. So much that she would basically do everything for them. So she might still be cold and merciless and arrogant on the outside, and she still might push Geralt quite around, but nevertheless she cares for her "family". That's her no 1 priority now. And we shouldn't forget that Geralt isn't perfect neither. They have both flaws. And Ciri. The Ciri from the books is maybe the most flawed character of them all, but she gets some catharsis at the end of the book, like all of them get. Geralt sacrifices himself for some anderlings although he doesn't have to. Yennefer sacrifices herself in order to save his life although she doesn't have to. A Ciri sacrifices "the world" for rescuing both of them, although the end is open.

The Senate investigation revealed that the American policy decisions which produced these disastrous consequences were made by IPR officials who were traitors, or under the influence of traitors, whose allegiance lay in Moscow. Owen Lattimore, guiding light of the IPR during its most important years (and also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations), was termed a conscious articulate instrument of the Soviet international conspiracy. Alger Hiss (a CFR member who was later identified as a Soviet spy) was closely tied in with the IPR during his long and influential career in government service. Hiss became a trustee of the IPR after his resignation from the State Department. The secret information which Hiss delivered to a Soviet spy ring in the 1930's kept the Soviets apprised of American activity in the Far East. Lauchlin Currie (also a member of the CFR) was an administrative assistant to President Roosevelt. Harry Dexter White virtually ran the Treasury Department under both Roosevelt and Truman. Both Currie and White had strong connections with the IPR; and both were Soviet spies–who not only channeled important American secrets to Soviet military intelligence, but also influenced and formulated American policies to suit the Soviets. By the time the McCarran investigation ended, the whole nation knew that the IPR was, as the McCarran committee had characterized it, a transmission belt for Soviet propaganda in the United States. The IPR, thoroughly discredited, had lost its power and influence; but its work was carried on, without any perceptible decline in effectiveness, by the Foreign Policy Association. The FPA did this job through its Councils on World Affairs, which had been set up in key cities throughout the United States. These councils are all "anti-communist." They include among their members the business, financial, social, cultural, and educational leaders of the community. Their announced purpose is to help citizens become better informed on international affairs and foreign policy. To this end, they arrange public discussion groups, forums, seminars in connection with local schools and colleges, radio-television programs, and lecture series. They distribute a mammoth quantity of expensively produced material–to schools, civic clubs, discussion groups, and so on, at little or no cost. The Councils bring world-renowned speakers to their community. Hence, Council events generally make headlines and get wide coverage on radio and television.

The discovery of this organ raises questions about its role in the evolution of lunge feeding in whales. The ancestral mandibular condition of modern cetaceans was probably a fused (or strong sutural) symphysis28 with an elongate surface14, as seen in nearly all basilosaurids, and a fused symphysis persists in modern toothed whales. By contrast, all living mysticetes possess unfused symphyses3,14,15,16. Recently described fossil evidence from Janjucetus hunderi, a stem ‘toothed’ mysticete, demonstrates that the transition from fused to unfused mandibles occurred early in baleen whale evolution, with unfused symphyses in mysticetes having a late Oligocene antiquity (∼23–28 Myr ago)14. Our investigations of the mandibular symphyses in living mysticetes show that bowhead, right and pygmy right whales (Balaena mysticetus, Eubalaena spp. and Caperea marginata, respectively) do not possess a gel-like cavity in their mandibular symphysis, although small papillae intruding into the connective-tissue matrix in this area are patent among adult and immature specimens (see Supplementary Information). The condition of the mandibular symphysis in grey whales (Eschrichtius robustus) has only been reported for a decayed neonatal specimen29, although the suggestion of a mucoid centre is broadly similar with the morphology of the organ described here. On the basis of this equivocal evidence, we propose that the organ evolved either at the node of Balaenopteroidea (grey whales and rorquals), or along the stem to crown Balaenopteridae (rorquals)15. If the former, the organ is a pre-adaptation for lunge feeding; if the latter, the organ evolved in tandem with VGB and specializations of the mandible morphology, such as a laterally deflected coronoid process6 and flexible temporomandibular joints5, which exhibit a degree of mandible rotation and oropharyngeal cavity expansion far greater than that of grey whales29. Regardless of evolutionary sequence, we argue that multiple lines of evidence indicate that the sensory organ has a key role in lunge feeding by registering the rotation of the mandibles during a lunge and the expansion of the throat pouch through the YSF, all of which evolved before the extremely large body sizes observed in today’s rorquals. Despite the opportunity to observe the adult morphology of large rorquals during decades of sustained hunting30, these findings demonstrate how poorly we understand the basic functional morphology of these ecologically important ocean predators.

Porsche also offered the 993 Carrera as an all-wheel drive version called the Carrera 4. In contrast with the 964, Porsche deleted the "2" from the rear-wheel drive "Carrera" name tag. However among enthusiasts, to differentiate between the rear-wheel and all-wheel drive variants of the Type 993 Carrera they were (and still are) commonly referred to as "C2" and "C4". [12] The Carrera 4 has an ABD system (Automatic Braking Differential); it brakes the inner wheel when accelerating out of a corner. On the exterior, the Carrera 4 is visually distinguishable by clear front and side turn indicators and rear red turn indicators. The brake calipers are painted silver as is the 'Carrera 4' badge on the engine cover. The center wheel-caps carry the Carrera 4 logo instead of the Porsche crest. The Carrera 4 had a curb weight of 1,420 kg (3,131 lb), same as the standard Carrera cabriolet, and in both instances more than the Carrera coupé. Key feature on the 993 Carrera 4 is the weight saving in the all-wheel-drive system as compared to the 964, a lower maintenance viscous coupling unit that transfers 5-50% of power to the front wheels and changes the driving behavior of the car compared to the 993 Carrera. The 993 Carrera 4 all-wheel drive is suited to cope with all inclement weather conditions, which provides extra security in rain or snow, though on a dry circuit the C2 is the faster car, and the C4 is of course heavier than the C2. [12] As one publication[who?] summarised it, "Some may like the all-wheel-drive system making the front end feel a tad more stable. Others will insist that a skittish nose and lively, ultra-informative steering are absolute necessities for proper Porsche driving. On a dry track and everything else being equal, the rear-drive car is probably the faster of the two. "[13] There was no Triptronic option available on the Carrera 4.

As I teach my students in my current events class, if you want to understand the political slant of a media piece, look at what it omits as well as what it says.In other words, we are faced with the choice that the writer is either stupid and lazy or is deliberately misleading his readers by conflating and omitting key information. Your call, folks, but we'll be facing that often in this piece.Consider also the source: in the next few paragraphs the writer repeatedly sources PRC propaganda from Shen, which may account for all the problems in the first section of this piece. Editors and writers need to take it to heart: everything on Taiwan from PRC "academics" should be regarded as lies and misdirection unless otherwise proven. For example:Again, this conflates two separate incidents. The US did not send carriers to the area in response to China's missile "tests" over the Lee visa. It sent them because China launched missiles in an attempt to intimidate Taiwan's electorate during a free election. Moreover, note how the paragraph shows the familiar problem of assigning agency to "tensions" rather than actors. The US and China clashed because China launched missiles, one policy choice out of many possible responses, not because of "tensions". Indeed, the only reason there are tensions is because China wants to annex Taiwan.O yeah, did that paragraph mention the 1996 elections? Nope. It's almost... almost like someone didn't want to draw attention to Taiwan's democracy.Indeed, note that all three of the academics quoted in the opening section are Chinese.The piece next names 5 people as Trump's China advisers: Ed Feulner, Rance Priebus, Peter Navarro, Bob Dole, and Jeff Sessions, because they were involved in The Call. This is a strange list. Dole was linked to The Call in the media but I expect that was wildly overblown, and I have not heard in any source that Dole or Sessions (srsly?) are China advisers for Trump. Or Priebus, for that matter.Once again: omissions. Check out the presentation on Feulner:Yeah, reading that you might think Feulner is 40 years out of date. Yet here, from the Chinese embassy itsownself, is a little blurb on Feulner's meetings with Chinese officials during his 2008 trip there. The writer probably failed to find it since it takes almost two seconds with a Google search.

However, as Fancher had confessed to police he had taken the pills offered to him voluntarily and the officers had conducted the search without a warrant, no charges were filed. Enrollment at Long Beach State University Edit In 1971, Kraft found new employment as a forklift driver in Huntington Beach. In an effort to further his career prospects following his military discharge two years earlier, he enrolled at Long Beach State University, undertaking teaching courses. There, Kraft became acquainted with Jeff Graves — a fellow teaching student from Minnesota four years younger than Kraft, and with whom he began a relationship.

The club reached professional status in 2007 when the club played its first game in the 2. Bundesliga. After just one season they gained promotion to the top flight, realising the dream of their owner and finishing a miraculous climb through the of German pyramid of football. The same year they had gained promotion, they constructed a new 30,000 seater stadium to accompany their federal league standing. In their debut Bundesliga season, they finished a highly respectable seventh. By using a combination of youth and experience the club had transformed themselves into a fully-fledged top flight team, able to compete for valuable silverware. Since 2008 they have been consistent in their achievements, playing attractive football and continuing to focus on the next generation of players. Former graduates of the achtzen99 academy include: Jannick Vestergaard, Niklas Süle, Sead Kolasinac and Jonas Hofmann. Sales of previous Hoffenheim II players have aided the team in acquiring first team talents. Perhaps even more remarkable is the extraordinary story of their manager and how his persistence to succeed in football saw him climb through the clubs age groups. Ending his career through injury before reaching 20 years old, Julian Nagelsmann decided to have a break away from football, studying business and sport science. After completing his studies, he broke into coaching at his former club Augsburg. Here he worked with Thomas Tuchel, current manager of Borussia Dortmund. After working at 1860 Munich for two years he arrived, knocking at Hoffenheim’s door in 2010. In four years, he had worked as assistant coach for the under-17s and first team as well as managing both the under-17s and 19s. Then in autumn 2015 he was appointed as a first team coach under the management of Huub Stevens. However, Stevens resigned due to poor health in February of 2016. Impressing the club’s board Nagelsmann, aged only 28, was appointed manager.

Isaac Golden Sun This character is ranked 23rd on the tier list with the abilities to punish with his neutral special and smash attacks. In addition, he has abilities to combine the aerial moves very well to make him become very dangerous at the close to mid-range. Pit Kid Icarus Pit is a quite strong character. He has abilities to combo very well, moves quickly on the air, and has perfect kill moves in his side special move. Mr. Game & Watch Game & Watch Mr. Game & Watch is a lightweight character who is ranked 28th on the tier list of ssf2. His strength is that he is easy to jump into the air. Jigglypuff Pokémon Jigglypuff is also a lightweight character that is ranked 31st on the C-tier list. The strength of this character is that it has strong kill moves and high airspeed. However, this character is also the lightest and floatiest character in SSF2, so, it is very easy to be KO. Falco Star Fox Falco is very strong and ranked 8th of A tier on the tier list in super smash flash 2. He owns a good frame date and is one of the best neutrals in the game. In addition, he also has strong finishers, strong meteor, and strong combo. Although that, Falco still has a weakness is that he is very vulnerable to combos and chain grabs because of his accelerated falling speed. Fox Star Fox Fox is ranked the 9th position on the tier list with a series of abilities such as fast attacks, great combo, powerful finishers, and many special moves. However, Fox is the character that has the highest falling speed in the game that makes him have problems when trying to recover vertically.

7,8 The behavior of the renal calculi within the pyelocalyceal renal model mimicked the clinical experience and outcomes as reported by patients anecdotally as well as according to the physiologic behavior of renal calculi in the calices. The simulator was adapted by remolding it in clear silicone to create a functional pyelocalyceal renal model able to permit direct inspection of calculi movement within the calyceal system (3, 13.5 mm3, or 64.6 mm3 suspended in urine. The renal calculi used in this study had been spontaneously passed from the patient whose computed tomographic urogram scan was used to create the original pyelocalyceal renal cast model. A high-fidelity adult ureteroscopy and renoscopy simulator (Ideal Anatomic) was modified and evaluated as a potential patient surrogate to study variables associated with renal calculi passage ( Figure 1 ).The behavior of the renal calculi within the pyelocalyceal renal model mimicked the clinical experience and outcomes as reported by patients anecdotally as well as according to the physiologic behavior of renal calculi in the calices. The simulator was adapted by remolding it in clear silicone to create a functional pyelocalyceal renal model able to permit direct inspection of calculi movement within the calyceal system ( Figure 2 ). The ureter and partial bladder components of the Ideal Anatomic simulator were removed during the modification process to facilitate sealing the hollow portion of the renal component. The sealed model contained 3 calcium oxalate calculi with volumes of 4.5 mm, 13.5 mm, or 64.6 mmsuspended in urine.

The likings and dislikings of society, or of some powerful portion of it, are thus the main thing which has practically determined the rules laid down for general observance, under the penalties of law or opinion. And in general, those who have been in advance of society in thought and feeling, have left this condition of things unassailed in principle, however they may have come into conflict with it in some of its details. They have occupied themselves rather in inquiring what things society ought to like or dislike, than in questioning whether its likings or dislikings should be a law to individuals. They preferred endeavouring to alter the feelings of mankind on the particular points on which they were themselves heretical, rather than make common cause in defence of freedom, with heretics generally. The only case in which the higher ground has been taken on principle and maintained with consistency, by any but an individual here and there, is that of religious belief: a case instructive in many ways, and not least so as forming a most striking instance of the fallibility of what is called the moral sense: for the odium theologicum, in a sincere bigot, is one of the most unequivocal cases of moral feeling. Those who first broke the yoke of what called itself the Universal Church, were in general as little willing to permit difference of religious opinion as that church itself. But when the heat of the conflict was over, without giving a complete victory to any party, and each church or sect was reduced to limit its hopes to retaining possession of the ground it already occupied; minorities, seeing that they had no chance of becoming majorities, were under the necessity of pleading to those whom they could not convert, for permission to differ. It is accordingly on this battle-field, almost solely, that the rights of the individual against society have been asserted on broad grounds of principle, and the claim of society to exercise authority over dissentients openly controverted. The great writers to whom the world owes what religious liberty it possesses, have mostly asserted freedom of conscience as an indefeasible right, and denied absolutely that a human being is accountable to others for his religious belief.

Testimony of the plaintiff occupied most of the second week. She described mentoring Wen Hsieh and recalled hearing about three administrative assistants who were harassed by Nazre. When questioned about this, Pao knew only that one of their first names was Tina, inviting theories that the women had settled with Kleiner Perkins and signed non-disclosure agreements. [81] On cross-examination, Hermle found an inconsistency with Pao's deposition video on the question of whether she asked to see an Equal Opportunity Employment policy. [11] She also sought to show evidence of plotting in 2011 and 2012 by bringing up emails in which Pao discussed her options with friend and Google engineer Lori Park. These revealed that Pao had applied for jobs at YouTube and Menlo Ventures and was considering starting her own firm. [40] Some issues with how Pao responded to termination were also raised. Pao said that it made sense for her to break the news to the CEOs of the three companies in her immediate network but revealed that Ted Schlein chastised her for doing so. [27] On the stand, Pao objected to the way Employment Law Alliance investigator Stephen Hirschfeld responded to the discrimination complaints by Trae Vassallo and herself. She alleged that the reports used biased language, softened the airplane incident by changing the name of a pornographic show to Entourage and focused on eliminating KPCB's liability rather than addressing the concerns of employees. [82] When Hirschfeld was questioned by Lawless, he revealed that his reports did not include a matrix which Vassallo used to tabulate discrepancies between male and female partners. [83] This criticism was repeated by Allison West of Employment Practices Specialists who testified that the firm's investigation of gender issues was insufficient. She also commented that it was circular for the defendant to rely heavily on performance reviews to discredit Pao's allegations against the people writing them. [84]

where would we have gotten those expectations? (laughing) :: well, there were a lot of things that did not go according to expectations. we know that the war has been bloodier and costlyier and lengthyier than anybody hoped. but the president had an extremely difficult task. after 9/11, there was a great sensitivity to our vulnerability. and the president had to weigh-- and what i do in the book is i look at the actual documents where secretary rumsfeld was writing to the president and powell and rice and the vice president and general myers and others. i talk about what they said to each other and what they were saying back to secretary rumsfeld. what you see is there was a serious consideration of the very great risks of war. i think that many of them were actually discussed with the public. but to tell you the truth, looking back one thing is absolutely clear. this administration made grocerors in the way it talked about the war. some of them are very obvious like the.... :: jon: that was all we had to go on. you know, that was... i guess the difference in my mind is if you knew the perils but the conversation that you had with the public painted a rosier picture, how is that not deception? that sounds like... when you're sell ago product.... ( applause ) what it sounds like for me. sorry. the fact that you seem to know all the risks takes this from manslaughter to homicide. it almost takes it from like with the cigarette companies. if they come out and say, no, our products i think are going to be delicious. you go back and you look and they go, well, they actually did talk about addictiveness and cancer. isn't that deception? :: i do not think-- and i think when people read this book, i think people will be surprised, to be reminded of what was actually said. i think a lot of people's perceptions of what were said are filtered through, you know, the recent history. and the recent history has been very unhappy in a lot of ways. we've had a very serious losses in iraq, more than anybody anticipated. people look back and i think they misremember aate lot.

New Survivor: Clementine Clementine was just eight years old when the world she knew turned into a nightmare. The dead rose from the grave and devoured the living, including her own babysitter. She was forced into hiding inside the tree house in her backyard for those first few days of the end of the world before Lee found and rescued her. As she, Lee and their new found group made their way to Savannah in attempt to find freedom and reunite with her parents, She was taught how to survive in a world where anyone or anything can kill you. Unfortunately for her, She was tricked by a stranger over the radio and was kidnapped. Lee rescued her, but not before being bitten. In the end, Clementine was forced to put down her protector before she became a monster just like her parents did. Now, five years later, she is taken away from the world she had grown up in and placed into a whole new kind of hell where there were no guns to defend herself with and a new group of survivors just like her.

“In the 1950s and 1960s, existing cycle paths were in many cases removed in order to make space for more cars. From 1950 to 1975, the bicycle was almost entirely excluded from the government's vision…. The number of deaths rose, especially amongst children on their way to and from school. In 1972, a total of 3,264 people were killed on Dutch roads, and in 1973, 450 road deaths were of children.”

so much wtf:unless you want screen tearing, i suggest you keep it on (for most people anyways, unless you can maintain constant 60fps+), you guys are in the 1-3%... ie: nobody cares about your problems ;pA. no double-buffer means the system has to wait to render each scene before displaying it... you don't want that... horrible flicker and performance...B. you do mean borderless windowed mode.A. uh no, double-buffering implementations are not done via cpu these days... not since... 2003...B. consoles just suck. ps4 has a 7870 ghz in it, pretty much... which is what i have in this pc... and if i dip to 25fps in some scenes (high settings), it means consoles will dip to 20 (not sure if they have a settings option, most console games don't)... which might explain it... they need to be running on low/medium to get 30 fps constant.C. it doesn't lock fps at 40, that seems to be an SLI issue. currently, SLI is supposedly 'supported' but many users report no fps gain, or even loss. something with kepler gpus? no idea, i'd never buy nvidia...is broken (fixed it for you).this just makes no sense, according to your previous statements:single buffer: both fps above and below refresh will cause stuttering effect, since display has to wait for current buffer to be drawn. this is 1990s stuff...double-buffer, fps above refresh no need for vsync. fps below refresh, tearing without vsync.triple-buffering, introduces extra input+video lag, and is inferior to current double-buffered (page flipping) techniques (although, it may smooth out hiccups of 1 extra frame, at the mentioned cost). technically it's the same as the page flipped method (modern implementations anyways), shouldn't add lag, but it does for some reason... ask game devs why that is, no idea. maybe it's just not supported that well by gpus/drivers, and in that case triple-buffer implementation probably use the copy method.----no, this is most likely due to your SLI setup... may want to search for some threads in that regard. some people have it working, others don't.as for OP's 970... well, those have issues too... even in other games (i've browsed forums)... blame nvidia...if you're using steam cloud, it will put them back.

Lecture I: The Hermeneutics of Vision The unearthing in 1945 of the Nag Hammadi Library – a cache of ancient parchment codices containing Gnostic writings once thought lost to history – initiated an intensive modern reexamination of Gnosticism. While scholars continue to argue over a proper technical and historical definition of “Gnosticism”, most readers agree that careful study of these primary texts validates C .G. Jung’s basic intuition about the experiential and psychological nature of Gnosticism. In this initial lecture we will introduce the rediscovered Gnostic “sheets of parchment with characters of bygone languages,” and briefly examine their historical origins. As Jung stated, “The Gnostics were concerned with the problem of archetypes. They made a peculiar philosophy of it, as everybody makes a peculiar philosophy of it when he comes across it naïvely and doesn't know that the archetypes are structural elements of the unconscious psyche.” We will engage a psychologically informed definition of Gnosticism in terms of its primary experiential roots, and then consider how a “hermeneutics of archetypal vision” was foundational to Gnostic tradition. Jung stated: “When I began to understand alchemy I realized that it represented the historical link with Gnosticism, and that a continuity therefore existed between past and present. Grounded in the natural philosophy of the Middle Ages, alchemy formed the bridge on the one hand into the past, to Gnosticism, and on the other into the future, to the modern psychology of the unconscious.” (MDR p201 ) We will critically examine what Jung may have meant about this bridge that linked Gnosticism with modern psychology.

I went walking up and down the garden with him….” Jung names Philemon as his teacher and “guru”. But in private comments to Cary de Angulo (Baynes) in 1923, Jung describes Philemon as something ineffably greater. He was, in multiform manifestations, an avatar of “the Master”, “…the same who inspired Buddha, Mani, Christ, Mahomet - all those who may be said to have communed with God.” (Cary F. Baynes papers, Jan 26, 1924, LN p213.)

The overall picture that would emerge from these three assumptions would take the following form: both the mental content and raw phenomenal character of our states of consciousness are the result of the quantum micro-structure of our brains. By modifying this micro-structure, one is not only altering the selection pressures that give rise to fully formed experiences (i.e. quantum darwinism applied to the compositionality of quantum fields) but also altering the selection pressures that determine which parts of the universal wave-function we are entangled with (i.e. quantum darwinism applied to the interactions between coherent objects). Thus psychedelics may not only influence how our experience is shaped within, but also how it interacts with the quantum environment that surrounds it. Some mild psychedelic states (e.g. MDMA) may influence mostly the inner degrees of freedom of one’s mind, while other more intense states (e.g. DMT) may be the result of severe changes to the entanglement selection pressures and thus result in the apparent disconnection between one’s mind and one’s local environment. Here PSIS would be the result of decreasing the rate at which our mind decoheres (possibly by increasing the degree to which our mind is in a state of quantum confinement). In turn, by boosting one’s own inner degree of quantum superposition one may also broaden the degree of superposition acceptable at the interface with one’s quantum environment. One could now readily take in packets of information that have a wider degree of superposition. In the right circumstances, this may result in one’s mind experiencing information seemingly coming from alternate branches of the multiverse. In other words, the trick to PSIS both in the Quantum and the Spiritual Hypothesis is the same (though for different reasons): travel to other dimensions by being the change that you wish to see in the world. You need to increase your own degree of quantum coherence so that you become able of interacting with a more coherent quantum environment.
