The Keonjhar Paleosol has previously been described; however, there have been no radiometric age constraints on its formation and it was speculated to be Paleoproterozoic in age (Bandopadhyay et al., 2010). The paleosol occurs between a Paleoarchean to Mesoarchean (3.3–3.1 Ga) multicomponent tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) batholith known as the Singhbhum Granite and a thick unconformable succession of shallow-marine quartzarenite sandstones and interbedded conglomerates (Fig. 1A). These siliciclastic sediments are exposed along a nearly continuous outcrop bordering a Paleoarchean (3.51–3.3 Ga) greenstone belt termed the Iron Ore Group (Mukhopadhyay et al., 2008, 2012). The sandstones are known as the Mahagiri Quartzite in the southeast and the Pallahara–Mankaharchua Quartzite in the west, along a >100 km southeast-northwest transect from the town of Keonjhar (Fig. 1A). One part of the sandstone outcrop also extends north for more than 80 km from Keonjhar. A clear angular unconformity exists between the sandstones and underlying greenstone belt rocks as well as the TTG granitoids (Mukhopadhyay et al., 2012). The best exposures of Keonjhar Paleosol occur near Madrangijori village, 6 km north of Keonjhar (Fig. 1A), where quartzarenite sandstones unconformably overlie the paleosol (Fig. 1B), which passes downward into saprolite and altered granite. The paleosol thickness varies from 1 m to >6 m and is distinguished by its contrasting pale color and talc-like feel. Petrographically the paleosol is dominantly composed of pyrophyllite and quartz (Fig. 1E), with subordinate amounts of illite and muscovite. Pyrophyllite forms from kaolinite and quartz in very low grade metamorphic conditions, whereas kaolinite forms as a pedogenetic phyllosilicate due to chemical weathering of feldspar (from the original granite). The siliciclastic sediments from this region are devoid of pyrophyllite but contain detrital uraninite and pyrite (Figs. 1C and 1D). Detrital uraninite and pyrite have also been described from conglomerates near the western margin of the Bonai Granite (Fig. 1A) (Kumar et al., 2012) and are significant in that they illustrate low surface oxygen conditions of <10−3 PAL (Canfield et al., 2000) at the time of their deposition.

Jamie Monson, a historian of the Tazara line, writes lucidly about this strategy: To construct a railroad was to command a region—the most famous manifestation of this being Cecil Rhodes’s dream of linking “Cape to Cairo” through a continent-wide rail connection. To control a region in turn was to keep rivals out, or at least to restrict their trade participation through tariffs and other regulatory interventions. The truest intellectual forerunner of China’s strategy seems to be a plan once pursued by Germany. Before its defeat in World War I, Germany’s leaders had dreamed of a continental empire, a Mittelafrika stitched together by railways stretching from Dar es Salaam to the Atlantic Ocean. A northern line from Dar to Moshi was completed in 1912. German surveys of a southern route, essentially the forerunner of the Tazara line, were carried out between 1904 and 1907, but the project was abandoned after a local rebellion against German rule. Germany’s railway schemes were driven by intense competition with Britain. Although China may claim to be a new kind of power, its plans, too, have always had a strategic component, including rivalry with the West, and lately a desire to circumvent the regional economic powerhouse, South Africa, and ultimately control the markets for key African minerals. To succeed, Germany’s Mittelafrika would have required cooperation from Belgium and Portugal in order for its trains to traverse the expanse of Congo and Angola on their way to the Indian Ocean. In five short years, China has solved this problem, rebuilding Angola’s Benguela railroad and laying the groundwork for a vast new rail-and-road network to be built in Congo, Zambia, and other peripheral countries. China will not turn these railways over to African governments, as it did with the Tazara. Rather, it will retain majority control of its rail investments, operating the railways until its money is recouped by ticket and cargo revenues and by other fees.
"Brown sees his coaching role as one qualified to teach details after a long fight career, one where he leads by his own effort on the mats, and one where he helps tie together every aspect of his fighter's preparation so he doesn't walk into the ring with a disparate bucket of skills with no real strategy or connection. Brown sees a real need for specialists in MMA, but maintains that they need to be brought together and overseen by a real head coach. "There is never going to be someone who understands jiu-jitsu like a world champ in jiu-jitsu, so people need their jiu-jitsu coaches, and that goes for all the disciplines we train," he explains. "When we're trying to get world-class at so many different things we need people dedicated to those different components. The problem right now is that with specialists in so many areas, most fighters don't get it tied into one another well enough. "There are different personalities, different levels of education, different intensities and volumes of workouts, filling different needs, but are all these efforts plugging into the proper and specific needs of that one fighter for this one upcoming fight? Fighters need one person looking over top to say, 'Here are the holes,' and, 'Let's build on this.' There are sometimes so many different coaches talking and giving input into a fighter but no one to organize and clarify it all. That's where I can excel.(Photo Credit: Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports)"As a head coach I may not necessarily be a world champion in any one particular aspect but I understand all aspects. I understand peaking for competition, being prepped properly for competition. I understand strength and conditioning. That's one of the parts I most enjoy reading about and implementing. "There are, of course, plenty of coaches in MMA right now who claim the title of "head coach," arguing they are qualified to fulfill the role of overseer that Brown describes. The fighter cautions his peers against handing over their development and careers to so-called head coaches who don't actually know what it is like to be in the trenches with them. "I wrote a post this morning about how there are so many coaches out there right now telling you how to put everything together, what approach to take, what to do, how to eat, how to train.
The newly discovered remains of the Mata Menge hominin come after many years of systematic searching following the discovery of Homo floresiensis in the same region in 2004. The Mata Menge hominin is even smaller than Homo floresiensis which was dubbed the ‘Hobbit’ and only stood at one meter tall.The new findings published in Nature ( here ) not only carry implications for our understanding of early human dispersal and evolution. They also dispel notions that Homo floresiensis were just modern humans (Homo sapiens) who suffered from diseases that caused dwarfism. Furthermore, Oceanic islands, like Flores, will be of increasing interest to archeologist as they hope to discover other species that lived in isolation.We speak with the authors of today’s Nature article Adam Brumm , Griffith University and Gert Van den Bergh , University of Wollongong.Six fossil teeth and a piece of mandible of a hominin. The remains were excavated in a sandstone layer dated to about 700,000 years old, at an open air site called Mata Menge, on the Indonesian Island of Flores, located c. 75 km east of Liang Bua.The most we can say at this stage is that the hominins lived in savannah-like tropical grasslands and made simple tools using chert and volcanic rocks collected from nearby stream beds. Presently, we know very little about their diet and how they survived in this environment. We have identified no tool-made cut-marks on any of the animal fossils found in association with the hominin remains, so we don't know if they were using the tools to obtain meat and fat from animal carcasses.We don’t know exactly, because we have no bones of the skeleton excavated so far. But because of the fact that the mandible and teeth are smaller than those of Homo floresiensis from Liang Bua, it is likely that the Mata Menge hominin was also slightly smaller than H. floresiensis, so smaller than 1.06 m tall.Based on the morphology of the Mata Menge fossils we now think that they and the Liang Bua H. floresiensis were descendants of a population of Homo erectus that somehow got stranded on Flores around 1 million years ago. Fossils of Homo erectus have been found on the island of Java, in China and India.
out of work, have found a job and are waiting to start it in the next two weeks. People who meet these criteria are classified as unemployed irrespective of whether or not they claim Jobseeker’s Allowance or other benefits. The estimates are derived from the Labour Force Survey and are published for three month average time periods. The claimant count measures the number of people claiming unemployment-related benefits; since October 1996 this has been the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA). Some JSA claimants will not be classified as unemployed. For example, people in employment working fewer than 16 hours a week can be eligible to claim JSA depending on their income. Chart 18 and the associated spreadsheet compare quarterly movements in unemployment and the claimant count for the same three month average time periods. The unemployment estimates shown in this comparison exclude unemployed people in the 16 to 17 and 65 and over age groups as well as unemployed people aged from 18 to 24 in full-time education. This provides a more meaningful comparison with the claimant count than total unemployment because people in these population groups are not usually eligible to claim JSA. When three month average estimates for the claimant count are compared with unemployment estimates for the same time periods and for the same population groups (people aged from 18 to 64 excluding 18 to 24 year olds in full-time education), unemployment increased by 90,000 and the claimant count fell by 24,000, between September to November 2012 and December 2012 to February 2013.

There could, for example, be a situation where no suspicious behavior is detected at all, but a non suspicious individual who happened to show up in the area a minute after the principal, also happened to leave the area half a minute after the principal left, and was later observed walking nonchalantly half a block behind the principal. A single SD operator might not notice every single correlation, but with teamwork and careful attention to people, timing and mobile and static vantage points, even subtle correlations can be detected over time and distance.
Although probable, there is no mention of rodent presence, which might have led to the outbreak, on the ship. By the 30th of July the epidemic peaked in Hamburg and this course seems exemplary for most German cities (Lübeck, Mecklenburg, Bremen, Stuttgart, Heidelberg, etc.) where the disease broke out, i.e., a sudden and steep rise of the number of cases and fatalities for four to six weeks after which the disease disappeared [95,96]. Von Marval also added a table to his thesis with the dates on which the disease struck German cities, the geographical distance between cities and the travel times (10 km on foot, 20–30 km by wagon or horse) in the 16th century might suggest human-to-human transmission as a plausible transfer method for the pathogen. The mortality rates were seemingly high, but did—as in England—not really affect the population as witnessed by, for instance, the Augsburg mortality bills, only the plague caused significantly higher mortalities [97]. The English sweat progressed from West to East, i.e., in the opposite direction of influenza epidemics and it appeared in summer, while the plague was typically an autumn/early winter event. The forenamed countries were also hit by typhus and plague outbreaks on an almost yearly basis. This raises the question whether the Sweating Sickness was solely responsible for the high mortality that devastated Europe in 1528–1529. The report on the five percent mortality in London supports this assumption [29]. The last major outbreak (1551) brought terror again on England, but did—again—not cross the border with Scotland or Wales, nor the Channel to mainland Europe. The English sweat then disappeared, except for the mention of it in Colchester in 1578–1579 and in Rottingen in 1802. There is only one mention of its appearance in Ireland (“pláigh allais” in Irish) in 1491 [98,99,100] and 1492 [101]. Although the reference is not extensive, the described symptoms closely match of what would become known as the English sweating sickness and there is the possibility that the 1491 Irish event heralded in fact the first emergence of the disease outside England. In “The Ancient and Present State of The County and City of Cork”, Charles Smith mentions the English sweat in Cork (S-Ireland) in 1528 [102]. Creighton further mentions an outbreak of the Sweat in Colchester in 1578–1579, i.e., 27 years after what was considered the last of big outbreak of 1551 [29].
ALTHOUGH student life at Michigan has been rich in traditions, many of them have been comparatively short-lived. Efforts by the various classes to "establish" traditions often resulted in practices which died out without leaving a memory or a record of their demise. Class observances, such as the "Burning of Mechanics," the carrying of canes, the wearing of caps and pins, "exhibitions," dances, banquets, and games, have come and gone with time. Yet some have persisted throughout the years. When the Michigan Union was established in 1904 and the Student Council in 1905, central agencies were set up to preserve some of the old traditions. The great growth of the student body, however, and the formation of clubs and societies did much to dissipate class spirit and to lessen the interest in class activities. Organized athletics also provided a greater outlet for student emotional exuberance, with the result that many of the old customs were lost in the maze and helter-skelter of student life. The wearing of some type of class cap has been traditional since the early days of the University. In 1868 students of the Literary Department adopted an "Oxford" style of class cap, blue with a square top, a black tassel in the center, and a movable "U. of M." visor. Caps with the class date '70, however, appear to have caused confusion and trouble because their wearers were not always members of that class; as a result this particular type of cap became an oddity. It is interesting to note that in 1870 Acting President Frieze and various professors also wore caps somewhat similar in style. The class of '72 adopted caps of blue broadcloth with small tassels and the class numerals in silver braid. The class of '73, of course, "rushed" them after chapel by throwing flour from the top of the stairs leading to the law lecture room, where the exercises were held. In 1877 a genuine mortar-board style of cap was chosen, but owing to lack of interest the effort to preserve the tradition failed at that time. Most of the senior classes wore distinctive caps in 1880, however, and the prevailing style in that year was the mortar board. In 1881 the seniors wore maroon fez caps with old-gold tassels, the juniors white "plugs," the sophomores white "derbies," and the freshmen black mortar boards with cardinal tassels.
We used pictures from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS; Lang et al. , 1999 ) as emotional stimuli. IAPS pictures are normatively rated on valence (positivity vs negativity) and arousal. Although IAPS pictures are not normatively rated for social relevance, based on previous research ( Cacioppo et al. , 2009 ; Gros et al. , 2009 ) we defined ‘social’ pictures as those depicting at least two people or parts of people (e.g. two people talking, a hand pointing a gun at another person), and ‘non-social’ pictures as those depicting no people or parts of people (e.g. a slice of pizza, a car accident with no bodies visible). Thus, there were six subtypes: social/negative, non-social/negative, social/neutral, non-social/neutral, social/ positive and non-social/positive. To avoid adaptation, at each session the participant saw a different set of pictures. We constructed 3 sets of 54 pictures for Study 1, with 9 pictures per subtype per set, and 4 sets of 36 pictures for Study 2, with 6 pictures per subtype per set 1 . We attempted to match valence and arousal across sets and social vs non-social pictures, using the normative ratings provided with the IAPS pictures ( Lang et al. , 1999 ). We counterbalanced picture set with drug dose, such that each picture set was paired approximately the same number of times with each drug dose. Pictures were presented in fixed random order, with no more than two of the same valence in a row. Picture trials consisted of a 3 s pre-picture fixation, a 6 s picture period, then subjective ratings. Participants rated pictures using the evaluative space grid ( Larsen et al. , 2009 ), which allows independent 0 (not at all) to 4 (extreme) ratings of positivity and negativity, and a 0 (not at all) to 9 (extreme) rating of arousal.
Matthew Glavin, president and CEO of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, was a big player in the Clinton Impeachment proceedings, and he has spearheaded a good number of anti-homosexual jihads. He has been arrested multiple times for public indecency, sources report, one time it was for fondling the crotch of the police officer who was arresting him at a national park. Opponents say his actions were treated "with kid gloves" and therefore inadequate. Neal Horsley is a political figure of the far right, and the author of a website devoted to his advocacy of militant pro-life, secessionist, and anti-gay views. He has called for the arrest of all homosexuals. He admitted on the Fox News Radio's The Alan Colmes Show, that he's had sex with mules. He put photographs on his Web site of naked men engaging in homosexual acts and a nude woman engaging in bestiality amid shots of grotesquely maimed fetuses. Drug dealer convicted of possession of hashish with intent to sell. He calls for "the establishment of a new government, one that can obey God's plan for government." Lewis "Scooter" Libby is the former Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney who was convicted but recently exempted from having to serve his sentence by the President. In 1996, "Scooter" Libby published a novel containing bizarre sexual content, including bestiality and pedophilia. Other high level White House officials were said to have been involved in the book that Libby published. Rush Limbaugh is the infamous talk show pundit and advocate of moral values who has been divorced three times. A staunch anti-drug crusader, Limbaugh is in reality, a 30-pill a day drug addict. He also takes questionable trips to locations where many western men travel to buy sex under shady circumstances. It was a return from one of those possibly sordid journeys when one of his drug arrests occurred. Limbaugh was returning from the Dominican Republic. The Rush Limbaugh sex tourism story could seriously lead to his downfall if any of the allegations were founded. "Turnabout is most certainly fair play," is how one news agency worded it. Then there is the report of Rush’s use of Viagra while he was single.

Yet the impact of behavior and environment on the process of aging and cognitive decline is understood in only a very general way, leaving the really important questions unanswered. For example, while correlations have been found between retirement and cognitive decline,3 it is not known whether this is due to retirees' lower levels of mental engagement, reverse causation whereby cognitive decline induces retirement, or the resulting reduction in social contact. This is an issue we return to after introducing KHP. The inability to resolve issues of causation reflects, to put it bluntly, a data limitation. As Cutler and Langa highlight in their article, cutting-edge questions are unanswered because we lack the data related to the genetic regulators of aging processes; the impact of intrauterine growth restrictions and child maltreatment; the interaction of aging with cognitive stimulation in early, mid, and later life; the interaction of stress and physical activity; and the interaction of all of these with economic status. As Belsky et al.1 stress, there is currently no data set suited to gaining an actual understanding of which factors contribute, and in what way, to aging in this sense (p. 6): “Our findings suggest that future studies of aging incorporate longitudinal repeated measures of biomarkers to track change. They also suggest that these studies incorporate multiple biomarkers to track change across different organ systems [our italics].” What Langa and Cutler call for in their article is new synoptic measurement in the arena of aging and cognitive decline. In addition to the need for measuring biological factors going far beyond the admittedly groundbreaking NHANES measurements, there is a pressing need for the application of cognitive screening batteries at regular intervals as well as daily measurement of aspects of cognitive function with smartphone apps and other monitoring devices. There is a need for geolocation data to gauge how daily “life-space” changes as cognition declines, and there is even a need to conduct large-scale full brain imaging at key times in the lives of participants. All of these are critical if we are to assess the impact of cognitive decline on the ability of participants to perform key activities of daily living, to assess the amount of time that family members spend providing daily care to older adults with dementia, to assess the dynamics of the division of caregiving duties among family members, and to understand how these variables affect the work and family life of caregivers.
The unsuspecting residents of San Francisco certainly could not consent to the military’s germ warfare test, and there’s good evidence that it could have caused the death of at least one resident of the city, Edward Nevin, and hospitalized 10 others. This is a crazy story, one that seems like it must be a conspiracy theory. An internet search will reveal plenty of misinformation and unbelievable conjecture about these experiments. But the core of this incredible tale is documented and true. It all began in late September of 1950, when over a few days, a Navy vessel used giant hoses to spray a fog of two kinds of bacteria, Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii — both believed at the time to be harmless — out into the fog, where they disappeared and spread over the city. “It was noted that a successful BW [biological warfare] attack on this area can be launched from the sea, and that effective dosages can be produced over relatively large areas,” concluded a later-declassified military report, cited by the Wall Street Journal. Over the next 20 years, the military would conduct 239 “germ warfare” tests over populated areas, according to news reports from the 1970s (after the secret tests had been revealed) in The New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press and other publications (via Lexis-Nexis), and also detailed in congressional testimony from the 1970s. These tests included the large-scale releases of bacteria in the New York City subway system, on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and in National Airport just outside Washington, D.C. In a 1994 congressional testimony, Cole said that none of this had been revealed to the public until a 1976 newspaper story revealed the story of a few of the first experiments — though at least a Senate subcommittee had heard testimony about experiments in New York City in 1975, according to a 1995 Newsday report. In 1950, the first Edward Nevin had been recovering from a prostate surgery when he suddenly fell ill with a severe urinary tract infection containing Serratia marcescens, that theoretically harmless bacteria that’s known for turning bread red in color. The bacteria had reportedly never been found in the hospital before and was rare in the Bay Area (and in California in general). The bacteria spread to Nevin’s heart and he died a few weeks later.
Brains are far too complex to oversimplify with the idea that trans brains fit into one box or the other … or even that there are only two boxes to fit into. More importantly, all of this is talking about measured averages of the physical brain, not the confluence of thoughts and experiences that make up identity. Just because one doesn't have the brain of the opposite gender does not mean one cannot have the mind of the opposite gender, or a mind that identifies as both genders, or as neither. Identities are just as complex as brains. Transgender people often present unrealistic stereotypes of the gender they identify with Mixture. It can be true, at least sometimes, but not for the reasons you think and not as true as it used to be. Undergoing a medically supervised gender transition requires the approval of therapists and doctors, those who control access to hormones and surgery. In the trans community, these professionals are referred to as “gatekeepers” who stand between many trans people and the treatment they need. Gatekeepers decide who gets treatment and who doesn't, and for many decades it was the gatekeepers who demanded that trans patients could only access medically supervised transition if the patients were either very girly (for trans women) or very manly (for trans men), and if they stood a chance of “passing” as cis in society. Trans people basically learned to game the system so that they could get the medically necessary treatments they needed, and that often meant playing up gender stereotypes. Thankfully, things are getting better. Doctors and therapists are letting go of these very stereotyped standards, and so trans people can access treatment without having to play up the stereotypes. Moreover, a growing number of trans people don't even identify as “male” or “female,” instead taking on gender nonconforming identities that defy cisgender stereotypes; these individuals can now also access treatment and surgery if needed. A trans person's gender is determined by their chromosomes Fiction. Your chromosomes determines your primary and secondary sexual characteristics, what is referred as “biological sex” – things like genitalia, body hair, breast development, and what hormones your body produces at puberty.
Making matters worse, a lot of Bilson's ideas (and much of the overall vision for Homefront) were about making something that would rival Call of Duty in spectacle and mechanics. It was a simple objective, but impossibly difficult to achieve. THQ and Kaos consistently underestimated the scale of the task they had set for themselves. "When you're sitting around with your buddies, and you're coming up with ideas for video games, it always sounds amazing," said one former systems designer. "But there's definitely way more to it to come up with a multi-million dollar franchise. There was nobody at Kaos who was gonna be able to do it, or that had done anything like that before."
Fanon was not a pacifist, but the emphasis on his belief in violence – or ‘terrorism’, as his adversaries would say – has obscured the radical humanism that lies at the heart of his work. In her 1970 study, On Violence, addressed in part to Fanon’s student admirers, Hannah Arendt pointed out that both his followers and his detractors seemed to have read only the first chapter – also entitled ‘On Violence’ – of The Wretched of the Earth. There Fanon described how violence could serve as a ‘cleansing force’ for the colonised, liberating them not only from their colonial masters, but from their inferiority complex. Decolonisation, he suggested, was nothing less than the ‘creation of new men’ – a notion much in vogue among 1960s revolutionaries, from Che Guevara to Malcolm X. The Wretched of the Earth has few of the autobiographical, elegiac cadences of his first book, Black Skin, White Masks, but explores the same relationship between racism, colonialism, mental illness and freedom. Crucially, it ends with a harrowing account of the mental disorders Fanon encountered as a psychiatrist during the Algerian War of Independence. The argumentative force of this closing chapter, and its position in the book, throw doubt on the first chapter. Violence was never Fanon’s remedy for the Third World; it was a rite of passage for colonised communities and individuals who had become mentally ill, in his view, as a result of the settler-colonial project, itself saturated with violence and racism. Like Walter Benjamin, Fanon believed that for the oppressed, the ‘“state of emergency” in which we live is not the exception but the rule’, and that his revolutionary duty was to help ‘bring about a real state of emergency’. Fanon’s clinical work was the practice that underpinned his political thought. He was only slightly exaggerating when he estimated that there were ‘more than ten million men to treat’ in Algeria. For Fanon, colonialism was a perversity. The coloniser and the colonised were locked together – and constructed – by a fatal dialectic. There could be no reciprocity, only war between the two, until the latter achieved freedom.

Researchers conducted over 50 interviews with lawyers, staff and leaders of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), as well as journalists, editors, political and human rights activists, and bloggers and their family members. All interviews were conducted in Russian or English by Human Rights Watch researchers who are fluent in both languages. All interviewees were informed of the purpose of the interview, its voluntary nature and the goal and public nature of our reports. All interviewees gave their oral consent to participate in the interview. Pseudonyms have been used for some bloggers and additional identifying details have sometimes been withheld. No interviewee received compensation for providing information. Most interviews were conducted by telephone or via internet communication. Human Rights Watch researchers also reviewed laws, including legislative amendments adopted since 2012, and relevant government regulations and rules pertaining to internet content and freedom of expression. While the report discusses the implications of some of these laws on the right to privacy, a full discussion of Russia’s surveillance systems, including the country’s System of Operative Search Measures (SORM), and legal framework are beyond the scope of this report. Researchers also obtained and analyzed copies of documents relevant to specific cases, including indictments and court judgments of persons convicted on politically motivated charges. Human Rights Watch has closely monitored human rights developments in Russia throughout Russia’s post-Soviet history. During that time, we have called on the authorities to repeal regressive laws and allow the unimpeded work of independent nongovernmental groups in accordance to Russia’s international commitments to uphold freedom of expression, association, and assembly. We have also called on Russia’s international partners to play a positive role in ensuring the government protects fundamental human rights in Russia.
How did we get there? It went down out of eyesight behind the scenes when Obama was able to first find, then secure his very own private Internet Channel gifted him by Google+: “Obama’s campaign learned during his presidential run that he could sidestep the traditional media filter and communicate directly with his 13 million grassroots supporters using Internet channels like YouTube.” (Google Transparency Project, ) “President Obama has participated in YouTube interviews following each of his State of the Union addresses since taking office, taking questions directly from Americans and bloggers handpicked by Google. His first address, on January 27, 2010, offers insight into how closely Google worked with the White House to support Obama’s use of new media strategies. “YouTube’s head of news and politics, Steve Grove, conducted an exclusive 45-minute interview with the president on February 1, 2010 in which questions were submitted by Americans and chosen online. A “Behind the Scenes” YouTube video of that interview shows Obama pointing to the traditional media assembled in the Oval Office to cover the YouTube event. “You’ve got all of these old media people here,” the president joked.” This is the same “old media people” who continue to poison the chances of Donald J. Trump ever making it to the White House by saturation character assassination; the same media who work feverishly to distract the masses from what is really going on behind the scene. In gaining an impenetrable power, Community Organizer Barack Obama went all the way from a weekly radio show to an omnipresent digital presence that only Google can take down. More than ironic that Hillary Clinton’s hateful, hurtful words during her Congressional hearing into the Benghazi scandal could now be used to describe her outrageous lies, email scandal and pay-for-play Clinton Foundation fraud: “What difference does it make?” What difference does it make if videos going viral display Clinton as having to be propped up because of failing health? What difference can it possibly make if she hasn’t held a press conference in 262 days, or that she is leading the polls with no commitments to presidential debates with Donald Trump?

2E.1 Public Health's Fight Public health officials in York and Toronto continued to trace and quarantine contacts with good results. The outbreak management teams and leaders of the local public health units were identified by some interviewees as those who deserve greatest credit for containing the SARS outbreak. Nonetheless, concerns mounted that SARS was poised to spread into the community. Individuals who attended a funeral on April 3, 2003 were quarantined when some family members developed symptoms. An employee of a large information technology company defied quarantine, and returned to work while symptomatic; one co-worker contracted SARS, and nearly two hundred more were sent into isolation. A Scarborough school was closed by Toronto Public Health when one student, a nurse's child, exhibited SARS symptoms; four other schools would be closed by local school boards as a result of SARS concerns before the outbreak ended. Routine screening picked up a fever in a nurse caring for SARS patients - a hurried search to identify her fellow commuter train passengers ensued. Because Toronto was the only city outside Asia to be hit hard by SARS, the international media converged on the city like never before. The attention was not only unprecedented; it was unwanted. Despite the media attention, there was no evidence that the SARS epidemic was spreading through the community. The Amoy Gardens outbreak in Hong Kong, where the virus may have been transmitted through a defective sewer system, was an exception that proved the rule - the SARS virus was spread by either brief exposure to big doses of viral particles or close, prolonged contact. All but a few Canadian cases occurred in travellers, health care workers, and their immediate contacts. Using traditional surveillance, contact tracing, and quarantine, opportunities for community transmission were being identified and contained. The number of people quarantined grew daily. Very occasionally, someone would refuse to enter isolation, and public health officials had to resort to legal means to enforce compliance. But this was the exception; Torontonians were generally remarkably compliant with highly demanding strictures. Quarantined individuals lost income, suffered from boredom and loneliness, and most importantly, were fearful that they might develop SARS or that they may have spread SARS to family and friends. Committee informants commented that different public health units seemed to have different thresholds for the use of quarantine. A related issue is whether public health officials used quarantine too frequently.
Ship Start Up: Approach the entry point of your ship, then press and hold "F" to activate the interaction system. Select from the various inner thought prompts using the cursor or mouse wheel to move between them. Once inside your ship, again press and hold "F" and select the "Flight Ready" prompt to run through complete ship start up. Alternatively, you can press the "F5" key for quick start up. Landing: Landing now takes place through an Air Traffic Control (ATC) system. Request a landing with "N" as before and approach the landing area. You will automatically be assigned a specific landing pad (highlighted green with a vertical landing guide line). Proceed to the landing pad, but avoid flying over other landing pads and take-off pathways. Quantum Travel: To quantum travel to a destination, open your MobiGlas (F1) and select the StarMap App (diamond shaped symbol). From there, use the mouse to select a destination. Whether or not an object can be selected for QT is determined by gravitational values (The larger the object the further away you can detect it, large objects with small objects in orbit drown out their detection capabilities at long ranges). Meaning you will not be able to travel from point A to B at all times, but instead may need to move into orbit of a larger body to detect destinations also in orbit. For example, to get to a station orbiting a moon that orbits a planet, the route is Planet>Moon>Station. Once you have a destination selected you can "set destination" on your MobiGlas to bring up a quantum travel target. As before, align with the QT target and press "B" to travel. As before, align with the QT target and press "B" to travel. New Features General Content Breathing, Stamina & Heart Rate Oxygen Supply: Many areas, such as space or the moons of Crusader, do not have breathable atmospheres and are dangerous for characters unless they’re wearing a pressure suit. Most pressure suits are equipped standard with an oxygen tank. As you breathe, you will slowly consume the oxygen inside your tank. Your oxygen tank will automatically begin to refill once you are inside an area, station, ship or outpost with a breathable atmosphere. If your oxygen supply runs out, your pressure suit contains a small buffer of oxygen to provide you with a short amount of time to try to find an oxygen supply.
If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing requirements, AMD’s business could be adversely impacted; AMD relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its financial results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels that provide value to its customers while supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be unable to make all of its planned investments in research and development or other strategic investments; the loss of a significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD; AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party products and the success of those products; global economic uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and operating results; the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly competitive; AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a substantial amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD that may adversely affect its ability to operate its business; AMD's issuance to West Coast Hitech L.P.

In each shuffle, each card is labeled with a "0" or a "1." If we concatenate the labels from each shuffle, then each card is labeled with a string of $k$ 0's and 1's. (We usually call such strings $k$-bit strings.) To summarize, a sequence of $k$ inverse riffle shuffles defines an ordering of the $n$ cards as well as a set of $n$ $k$-bit strings. Conversely, if we choose an ordering of the cards $\pi$ and a set of $n$ $k$-bit strings, we may define a sequence of $k$ inverse shuffles: begin with the standard ordering of the cards and perform inverse shuffles, based on the appropriate bit: The ordering on the deck of cards that results is $\pi$. The stopping rule is simple: stop when the cards have distinct labels. To see that this is a strong uniform stopping rule, simply notice that the choices of an ordering $\pi$ and a set of $n$ $k$-bit strings are independent. Therefore, if $B$ is a set of distinct $k$-bit strings and $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ are two orderings of the deck, then $(\pi_1,B)$ and $(\pi_2,B)$ give two sequences of inverse riffle shuffles that are equally likely and that lead to $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$, respectively. Therefore, we are just as likely to see $\pi_2$ as $\pi_1$ as a result of a sequence of inverse riffle shuffles with stopping time $k$. Now we're in great shape. If $T$ is the stopping time of a sequence of inverse riffle shuffles, we may apply our earlier result: \[ \\|R^k-U\\| = \\|\overline{R}^k - U\\| \leq P(T> k).\] We'll compute $P(T>k)$, the probability that the stopping time is greater than $k$, by working instead with $P(T\leq k) = 1 - P(T>k)$. Suppose we have a sequence of $k$ inverse riffle shuffles with $T\leq k$ (if $T< k$, just shuffle a few more times for a total of $k$ shuffles). As before, this leads to an ordering $\pi$ and a set of $n$ distinct $k$-bit strings. The number of orderings $\pi$ is $n!$ and the number of $n$ ordered distinct $k$-bit strings is $n! {2^k\choose n}$ since there are $2^k$ $k$-bit strings. This means that the number of sequences of $k$ inverse riffle shuffles with a stopping time less than $k$ is \[(n! )^2{2^k\choose n}.\] Now the total number of sequences of $k$ inverse riffle shuffles is the number of orderings $\pi$ times the number of length $n$ $k$-bit strings, which is $n!(2^k)^n$.
Once pegged at about 40 per cent, their dropout rate is now down to about 23 per cent, Quan noted. The board has responded in various ways, from opening a special “Africentric” school to offering courses on black history and creating mentoring groups, in particular for black boys. It started keeping track of race and suspensions after the Ontario Human Rights Commission initiated a complaint “in the public interest and on behalf of racialized students and students with disabilities,” according to the terms of settlement. There had been numerous complaints that board policy and the Safe Schools Act were having a disproportionate impact. In the November 2005 settlement, it was left to the board to decide the best way to count suspensions by race. There was no requirement to publicly report the findings.

So far, the only thing to have come out of this ritual is sore knees and scary interviews.Frigide Barjot and the other spokespeople for 'La Manif Pour Tous' are so determined to show that they're "not homophobic and just against marriage equality" that they've decided to take part in an event to denounce homophobia in France (mostly caused by them at the moment) and more specifically, the most recent victim, DutchmanGay rights group SOS Homophobie said it has received 60 complaints of anti-gay hatred in Paris just in the past week and blamed opponents of the equality bills. The same night Wilfred was attacked, a LGBT centre in the capital was covered in anti-gay marriage posters.Right-wing opponents are more present than ever in the opposition camp and are becoming more and more violent. The escalating homophobia in the country is being amplified even more in anti-equality protests and before the media, with the GUD, a Christian extremist right-wing youth group calling on their supporters to "beat up the homos" at this year's Gay Prides. The country is suffering a sort of "War of the Associations" with the NPA (New Anti-capitalist Party) offering to protect gay rights demonstrations and gay prides in many of the major cities.
She rarely slept, going from one job to the next. We hardly saw her and when we did, we stayed out of her way if we didn’t want to be yelled at. Even moments that seem to be fun times with my mother turned sour. I can vividly remember on one of her rare off days watching our favorite television show, Martin, together. We went from busting it up, laughing loudly at Martin’s punch lines, to her becoming upset. Her mood could change like a light switch.She would suddenly look up and realize that the house was dirty and the yelling and cursing would start. “Why is the house so fucking dirty?” or “I work all damn day and no one washed the dishes.” It got to a point where we started to enjoy her being away from the home. It was peaceful.She also developed these control issues. Probably because her own life was spinning out of control. She couldn’t make our plight much better, even by working several jobs. She couldn’t stop her husband from smoking crack. The only little bit of control she had was overpowering her children. If we didn’t do something my mama wanted, she went into her rages. She hid the home telephone when she went to work, and we were trapped in the house without being able to communicate to anyone. She did this, too, with simple things such as the soap powder. If she was mad at us, we couldn’t wash clothes. This was the same for the iron, the cable cord, the soda. She had to have control over everything. Over us. But not herself.I have great empathy for my mama’s plight now. She struggled to raise children in poverty by herself, and in return, she developed mental health problems. As a mental health professional, I now understand that my mother was suffering from stress related mental health issues. My mama was unhappy in her own life. Even with a husband present, she was raising her children up as an overworked, Single Black Mother. She fell into her own stereotypes. In Black communities, Black women aren’t supposed to crack. We are not supposed to become depressed, even when we experience poverty, poor and unstable living conditions, psychosocial challenges, and white supremacy.Just because we are Black and Woman.Black Women, as the keepers of children, suffer silently. They have to be present under this system to raise vibrant children.
Maybe she would have been okay with it because the true story is disguised as a standard break-up song. But maybe not. I enjoy thinking about it. Either way, I definitely miss her.
PREFATORY NOTE: Stare into the abyss for too long and it will stare back through you. The Written Word is a horrible bitch-goddess. It is created by one, left on its own and interpreted by many. It is a terrifying thing to see your words live beyond you, and humbling. To have your words fed back to you with new meaning imbued by third-party interpretation. That is the strangest bit. You sit down every day to read the news and see more and more reports of teenage queer suicides, of gay bashing, and sad reports from a nationwide struggle for equality whose reason you cannot discern. Line five queers and five straights up and you won’t be able to tell one from the other, yet by speaking their preference they are split into two groups: those with full rights, and those without. The ludicrousness of the battle has set into my bones. What other preferences might we discriminate based on? Those who majored in the liberal arts can vote but not own property; those who majored in the sciences can own property but are not allowed to run for office? Those who like cheese pizza are to be summarily executed; those who like pepperoni are to be given a tax break? And all those kids dead because they were gay. It’s enough to get angry over. It’s enough to get blindingly, venomously, hatefully angry over. It’s enough to make you start sounding like…well, to start sounding like them, if you don’t check yourself. You want peace so much that you call for war. Consider this forward my checking myself. Straight allies exist. They are wonderful, caring support networks for queers like me going through the daily fight. But by no means is this an apology for the argument below. Queers, it’s time to stop being nice. It’s time to push back and start asserting our innate dignity and rights. It’s time to be a little, or a lot, gruff. Just remember your straight allies. One should not go tiger-hunting alone.
One can’t argue with Krangle’s positive experience with the police force. That said, BLM’s opposition is not to individuals like Krangle, but to the institution he represents. He is not being excluded from next year’s Pride, he is being asked not to show up in uniform. One can’t argue with black people’s negative experiences with police, either. BLM’s stance belongs to the continuum of resistance that is at the root of Pride. The city’s Pride Parade sprang up from protests against police raids that saw about 300 gays arrested in 1981. It took almost two decades after that for a uniformed police officer to walk in the parade. The first Toronto Police Service float appeared only in 2014. In that intervening period, was the lack of police presence called exclusion or discrimination? Obviously not — the power dynamics between an armed, uniformed, institutionalized force and a grassroots grouping of pariahs would have made accusations of reverse discrimination laughable. One was formed out of protest to the other. The inherent tension did not warrant an inclusion of the perpetrator and executor of inequality. There are hierarchies in inequality. Just because the walls have crumbled between police and one kind of LGBTQ2 people does not mean they have fallen altogether. Krangle may not have been discriminated against by police, but the same cannot be said for his contemporaries of colour. Even prominent gays, like Ontario’s premier Kathleen Wynne, don’t seem to get this. Discomfort with BLM’s demand to ban uniformed police participation suggests that now that white LGBTQ2 rights have been respected, the rights of queer black people don’t matter. A sub-section of the group is being expected to march in solidarity with those who wield the tools of their oppression. Toronto Police, meanwhile, aware of the unexpected public sympathy on this score, are playing the role of underdog. “It’s extremely confusing,” Toronto Police spokesperson Mark Pugash told the Star on Wednesday. Nobody from Pride had yet told them how a vote to endorse BLM’s demands would affect their presence, he said. If the police are as serious about engagement and building bridges with black LGBTQ2 communities as they say they are, they shouldn’t wait for Pride Toronto to weigh in when they meet in February. They need to swallow their pride and take a principled stand: excuse themselves from participating in uniform, but pledge to be present professionally to keep it safe, as they would with any mass public event.
The fact is that mainstream Christian Church, from which the Roman Church would later split off, adopted Manichaean ideas during the Dark Ages. In short, the Roman Church is itself a mitigated Dualist religion.
[2] The Coen brothers wrote the role of Charlie Meadows for actor John Goodman, in part because of the "warm and friendly image that he projects for the viewer". With one day left before his meeting with Lipnick to discuss the movie, Barton phones Audrey and begs her for assistance. She visits him at the Earle, and after she admits that she wrote most of Mayhew's scripts, they apparently have sex; Barton later confesses to Charlie they did so. When Barton awakens the next morning, he, again, hears the sound of the mosquito, finds it on Audrey's back, and slaps it dead. When Audrey does not respond, Barton turns her onto her side only to find that she has been violently murdered. He has no memory of the night's events. Horrified, he summons Charlie and asks for help. Charlie is repulsed but disposes of the body and orders Barton to avoid contacting the police. After a meeting with an unusually supportive Lipnick, Barton tries writing again and is interrupted by Charlie, who announces he is going to New York for several days. Charlie leaves a package with Barton and asks him to watch it. Soon afterward, Barton is visited by two police detectives, who inform him that Charlie's real name is Karl "Madman" Mundt. Mundt is a serial killer wanted for several murders; after shooting his victims, they explain, he decapitates them and keeps the heads. Stunned, Barton returns to his room and examines the box. Placing it on his desk without opening it, he begins writing and produces the entire script in one sitting. After a night of celebratory dancing, Barton returns to find the detectives in his room, who, after handcuffing Barton to the bed, reveal they've found evidence of Mundt's latest murders. Each of the men notes how hot it is, before Charlie returns as the hotel is engulfed in flames. Running through the hallway, screaming "I'll show you the life of the mind! ", Charlie shoots the policemen with a shotgun. As the hallway burns, Charlie speaks with Barton about their lives and the hotel, breaks the bed frame to which Barton is handcuffed (thus freeing him), then retires to his own room, saying as he goes that he paid a visit to Barton's parents and uncle in New York. Barton leaves the still-burning hotel, carrying the box and his script. Shortly thereafter he attempts to telephone his family, but there is no answer.
The Dopaminergic System While an exhaustive review of the structure and function of the dopaminergic system is beyond the scope of this review, in order to place the potential function of the dopamine system within the context of the central regulation of physical activity, a short overview of the dopamine system is necessary. The dopaminergic neurons in the brain originate from two distinct areas. The neurons originating from the substantia nigra pars compacta project into the dorsal striatum via the nigrostriatal tract 60, while those neurons originating from the ventral tegmental area project into the cortex and ventral striatum (nucleus accumbens) via the mesolimbic tract 36, 89. The dopaminergic neurons interconnect with many areas of the brain leading to the implication of the dopaminergic system in many central functions including reward, learning, motivation, response to stimuli, and movement 153. Figure illustrates the important dopaminergic pathways in the brain. Potentially important for the regulation of physical activity is the striatum/nucleus accumbens area given this area is involved in motivation, reward, and motor movement. Also highlighted as part of the basal ganglia, is the ventral pallidum because this area may be important in integrating dopaminergic signals from both motivational/reward centers and motor movement centers in the brain 152. Open in a separate window There are two evolutionarily and genetically different subtypes of receptors for dopamine within the dopaminergic system, and a total of five known distinct receptors 18, 153. The dopamine D1-like receptor family includes the dopamine one (D1) and dopamine five (D5) receptors. These receptors contain no introns, act by way of Gs-proteins, and activate adenylyl cyclase, thus increasing cAMP production 85, 169. The D-2 like receptor family includes the dopamine two (D2), dopamine three (D3), and dopamine four (D4) receptors. These receptors contain introns, act via Gi-proteins, inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity, and thus decrease cAMP activity 85, 105. The two dopamine receptor families do not appear to act in isolation however, because it has been shown that activation of D1 receptors in the rat striatum causes D2 receptors to shift to a “low binding state” for dopamine 143. Likewise, D1 and D2 receptors have been shown to physically interact in certain areas of the brain, possibly working synergistically to affect downstream signaling 36. Dopaminergic signals also interact with GABA interneurons 2 and other neurotransmitter signaling, highlighting the many levels of control of the resultant neuronal signaling, and downstream effects.
One similarity, however, between these studies was that LD peaked about 16 h earlier than CK in both studies.

It is important to understand the changes that can occur in the microbiology of raw milk during its storage and as a consequence of subsequent treatments. Milk is typically stored at refrigeration temperatures that reduce the growth of most bacteria, with the exception of psychrotolerant microorganisms that can proliferate under these conditions and become a major cause of milk spoilage (Eddy, 1960; Morita, 1975; De Jonghe et al., 2011). This is primarily a consequence of the production of extracellular enzymes, with lipases and proteases being most important. These lipases degrade milk fat causing rancidity, while proteases degrade casein producing a grey colour and bitter off-flavours (De Jonghe et al., 2011). Investigations into seasonal variations of microbial growth in raw milk have, unsurprisingly, established that psychrotolerant bacteria exhibit better growth and protease production in winter milk rather than in summer milk (Marchand et al., 2008). Pseudomonas spp., which are commonly found in raw milk, are the most common cause of milk spoilage (Ercolini et al., 2009). The Pseudomonas species most commonly detected in milk and cheeses are Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas gessardii, Pseudomonas fragi and Pseudomonas lundensis (Mallet et al., 2012). These bacteria can become the predominant microorganisms in raw milk stored at low temperatures, constituting up to 70–90% of the microbial population (Sorhaug & Stepaniak, 1997). Many other psychrotolerant microorganisms are present in milk but are generally less important than Pseudomonas with respect to milk spoilage. In one study, these were identified as being strains of Acinetobacter, Microbacterium, Aeromonas, Enterobacter, Flavobacterium, Corynebacterium, Clostridium, Bacillus, Staphylococcus and some LAB (Hantsis-Zacharov & Halpern, 2007). Another study, assessing the overall impact of refrigeration (24 h) on the microbial content of raw milk, particularly noted increases in the number of Listeria innocua, L. monocytogenes, L. fermentum, Staphylococcus epidermidis, P. fluorescens, E. faecium, Enterococcus hirae, E. durans, Leuconostoc carnosum, S. dysgalactiae, H. alvei, Serratia marcescens, K. pneumoniae, Kocuria rosea, propionic acid bacteria and Aeromonas (Lafarge et al., 2004). Notably, some of the latter would be typically regarded as thermophilic microorganisms. A similar study, but carried out over a 48-h period, specifically highlighted increases in Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter spp. (Raats et al., 2011). Newly identified psychrotrophs, such as Chryseobacterium (Hantsis-Zacharov & Halpern, 2007; Hantsis-Zacharov et al., 2008a, b) and Epilithonimonas spp. (Shakēd et al., 2009), have also been detected in raw milk. However, their involvement in milk spoilage is unclear.
Hi guys! Hooray it's the weekend, time to stay up all night and not sleep much. When I saw it like that it actually sounds like a terrible idea. But no, I love being able to stay up since I'm such a night owl. One thing I do wish I had right about now is some delicious ice coffee. I'm totally addicted to that during the summer. Before I give myself anymore cravings over here I should tell you guys about the beauties I have to show you. Today I have some polishes from Daily Hues Nail Lacquer's summer-time release. This is my first time trying out Daily Hues Nail Lacquer and you'll be happy to know all are five-free. Let's get to the swatches!Zora is a beautiful light brown to purpleish duo-chrome polish. When I was first browsing through the summer collection the duo-chrome polishes instantly caught my eye. Believe it or not, I actually didn't own any duo-chromes before this polish. Shame on me, I know. I seriously could not stop staring at my nails all day! The colors so beautifully under the natural day light. I took some photos from different angles so you can kind of see the color transitions. While in transition, you can see subtle hints of olive green. Swatched over clear base coat, used three thin coats for full opacity, and sealed with a glossy topcoat. Formula was excellent and didn't give me trouble layering. I do suggest letting each layer dry for a bit before applying the next for smoother application.Dawn is a cute bright sky blue creme with a slight shimmer. I love how bright and cheerful this color is and not to mention how well it suits my skin-tone. While I wouldn't describe it as neon, it is still vibrant and perfect for some fun in the sun this summer. I'm also super curious at how well this will end up stamping, if I manage to stamp successfully then I'll let you guys know. Swatched over clear base coat, used three two coats for full opacity, and sealed with a glossy topcoat. Formula wise the consistency was awesome, no problems whatsoever. Because of the slight shimmer finish, you have to be a little mindful of your brush strokes. A topcoat will smooth it out nicely and add a great shine.Paiva is a light coral-orange creme with slight holo flecks.

Weeks after my visit I watched a documentary about this unique French town and its “conspiracy of goodness.” I well remember the testimony of an elderly lady who had helped many Jews survive.When asked why she did what she did, she looked puzzled and burst out: “Isn’t this what we were all supposed to do?” This dear woman had grown up with a sharpened conscience that never had to think twice about what was right.Helping people in need, even at great risk to her own life, was simply what she expected of herself. Listening to her story has made me think long and hard about what went wrong in my native Germany.How did so many millions of Christians not know “what they were supposed to do” during the Nazi era? One reason was because many Christians in Germany were Germans first, and then Christians. Their ethnic and nationalist feelings overrode any biblical values that might have been instilled into them.That is why the official parts of the church that collaborated openly with the Nazis called themselves “German Christians.”That is, first Germans and then Christians.The villagers of Chambon sur Lignon were largely Huguenot Christians with their own history of persecution.They saw their identity less in terms of nationality and more anchored in the beliefs and values which had shaped their community for generations.But something else took place in Germany in the decades before Hitler’s rise to power. German universities became the breeding ground for what was known as “liberal theology.” Scholars actively worked to strip the Bible of its divine authorship. According to them, figures like Abraham or Moses were mere legends.Miracles became myths, and they developed a flexible concept of God as being shaped in each man’s own image, rather than the biblical view that all humans were created in the image of God. Both Tanach and the New Testament were stripped of everything supernatural and divine.This opened many doors to abuse and disbelief. With the scriptures downgraded to a mere human document rather than God-inspired, German theologians also purged the Bible of its Jewishness.An entire institute in the city of Erfurt was established called Entjudungsinstitut (“De-Judaization Institute”) with the sole purpose of “de-Judaizing” the Bible.
She had become disillusioned to her grandfather's teachings.According to an article by Jeff Chu , her decision was cemented after a trip to a library in Lawrenceville, Kansas in December. She had browsed the philosophy section and realized that people have dedicated their lives to understanding morality and how to live.“The idea that only WBC had the right answer seemed crazy,” said Phelps-Roper. “It just seemed impossible.”Phelps-Roper acknowledged in her blog that her and Grace's actions up until now could never be excused or forgotten." What we can do is try to find a better way to live from here on. That’s our focus," said Phelps-Roper.Phelps-Roper was a significant member of the church who managed the group's online and social presence, according to Fox 4 Kansas City . Her departure signals a blow to the church's stability and credibility. More about Westboro Baptist Church, Fred phelps, megan phelpsroper, Religion, God More news from Westboro Baptist Chu...

The Nanda–Hamner experiments yield neither a typically positive, nor a typically negative response in D. ezoana (Fig. 3). Therefore, newly developed T‐cycle experiments are used to test the involvement of a sustained or damped circadian clock in photoperiodic time measurement. The T‐cycle study shows that the photoperiodic clock of the northern fruit fly species D. ezoana measures an absolute night length of approximately 7 h to induce diapause, irrespective of the photoperiod and the period of T‐cycles (Fig. 5). The absolute night‐length measurement strongly suggests that the time measurement in D. ezoana is achieved by a simple hour‐glass clock. However, such apparently hour‐glass based night‐length measurement may also be achieved by a weak and highly Zeitgeber responsive oscillator based clock through an ‘external coincidence’ principle as proposed by Pittendrigh (1966). The circadian oscillators of such clocks are considered to be completely (or mostly) damped by the end of the naturally occurring photoperiods and to be reset to the same phase at the onset of the night, causing ϕ i to occur fixed hours afterwards. The night length is thus measured by sensing whether or not the ϕ i is exposed to light. The absolute night length measurement in T‐cycle experiments thus suggests that a weak circadian oscillator may underlie the photoperiodic clock in D. ezoana. The present T‐cycle experiments appear to decipher the type of clock involved in photoperiodic time measurement, even in cases in which the classical Nanda–Hamner or Bünsow experiments lead to ambiguous results. Interestingly, D. ezoana flies appear to also utilize a strongly damped circadian clock for controlling locomotor activity rhythms. This suggests that the same weak circadian clock may be involved in photoperiodic time measurement and behavioural rhythm control. These observations in D. ezoana lead to three questions: (i) is the clock that measures night length identical to the clock that controls activity rhythms in all species showing diapause; (ii) is a weak, highly damped circadian clock better suited for photoperiodic time measurement than a sustained robust circadian clock; and (iii) what are the limitations of the newly developed T‐cycle experiments?
The state-run Biman Bangladesh Airlines is expected to carry half of the total Hajj passengers, while Saudi Arabian Airlines would ferry the rest of the Hajj pilgrims from Dhaka to Jeddah. The return Hajj flights would start on September 17 and continue till October 15. A 292-member Bangladeshi Hajj team comprising physicians, pharmacists, nurses/brothers and assistants would go to Saudi Arabia to provide healthcare facilities to Hajj pilgrims.
Following the original formulation of Balanced Identity [1], evidence of balance is assessed for each of the three possible regression models created by predicting each construct from the other two. This involves first modeling each criterion's association strength from the product of the other two, and then in a second step entering the two predictors as main effects. The prediction is that the addition of these two main effect terms will not increase the predictive power of the model because the relationship is wholly accounted for by the product. This produces four tests that each model can be assessed against: The regression coefficient associated with the interaction should be numerically positive and statistically significant at Step 1. A failure at this step indicates that the primary prediction of the theory has not been confirmed, and testing often ceases at this point. However, if this prediction is upheld then: the coefficient associated with the interaction should remain numerically positive at Step 2 (after the main effect terms have been added); neither regression coefficient associated with the main effect terms should statistically differ from zero at step 2; and the increase in criterion variance (R2) at Step 2 should not be statistically significant. Thus, these four tests can be used for each of the three regression models, providing 12 total tests that summarize the extent to which the predictions of cognitive balance are met in a given data set (independently for self-report and implicit data). Results of these analyses are presented in Table 1 for both implicit and explicit data. For implicit data, evidence of balance was uniformly high, with all three models passing all four tests described above, except for one partial failure at Step 2 in which, for one model, one of the two main effect terms was statistically significant despite the presence (and continued statistical significance) of the interaction term. Nonetheless, 11 of 12 possible tests were passed, providing strong evidence of cognitive balance. For explicit results, evidence of balance was mixed, with all three models failing at least one test at Step 2 (in total, eight of 12 tests were passed). Thus, even though explicit measures were strongly correlated at the bivariate level (considerably more so than their implicit counterparts), they did not conform as well to the more complex pattern of relationships specified by the Balanced Identity model, replicating much prior work with this design [5].

Zelda summons a bow and shoots a piercing arrow of light across the stage. Anyone caught by the hit will take 1% damage and will freeze in a quick pause animation before taking another 39% damage with extreme knock back. This move will kill at very early percents but it's only available when you break the Smash Ball item.Zelda surrounds herself in a blue crystal and smaller crystals circle around her to deal damage to anyone in range. Nayru's Love reflects projectiles at 1.2x the power and speed while granting a short duration of intangibility. Good move to catch rolls and approaches with since it has a lingering hitbox. Hits 4 times for 11% total (2%,2%,2%,5%).This move acts similar to the default Nayru's Love except the outer diamonds are replaced with a gust of wind that has a spin effect similar to Mario's cape. 3 hits for 7% total (1%,1%,5%). Anyone hit by this move will be flipped into the other direction. This can be useful offstage to cause people to recover in the wrong direction. Nayru's Rejection reflects projectiles at 1.2x the power and speed while granting a short duration of intangibility.Nayru's Rejection is very similar to Nayru's Love overall. This move is slightly slower and deals less damage, but the outer diamonds are replaced with a cape effect that turns opponents in the opposite direction. The knock back from Nayru's Love is replaced with a weak push effect.This custom loses the ability to reflect projectiles and the intangibility, but turns into a raw damage move. The diamonds from Nayru's Love are replaced by a strong vacuum that draws opponents towards Zelda then creates an explosion to damage them after. 1 hit for 15% damage. This move has a great draw in distance and works well with B-reversing for mix-ups. The draw in range is also great for punishing rolls since it covers both sides of Zelda.This move sacrifices the defensive ability to reflect projectiles in exchange for an offensive explosion based attack. You also lose the intangibility from Nayru's Love which is replaced with a vacuum around Zelda that draws opponents into the explosion. Nayru's Passion has the longest range out of the 3 Nayru's Love options when factoring in the vacuum effect.The vacuum effect draws players directly to Zelda. Careful about your usage of this move because it will pull in opponents that are charging attacks also!
2. Passing Universal Healthcare: Obama accomplished what no prior Democrat could in expanding coverage to 32 million more Americans while simultaneously reducing the deficit by an estimated $1.3 trillion over the next 20 years. It delivers on every provision of the Patient Bill of Rights that Bill Clinton unsuccessfully tried to get passed, including making it illegal to deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions and capping out of pocket expenses when people get sick (so people don’t go in to bankruptcy after getting ill). It helps shift our medical system’s focus to preventative care by covering the cost of early warning tests so our doctors find diseases before they are too advanced – avoiding larger medical expenses down the road and requires the largest and richest American companies to provides insurance for all their employees. It attempts to lower health care costs by forcing all Americans to have medical insurance and pay their fair share so the system is more efficient – similar to how all Americans need to have car insurance – while providing tax credits to help the poor and small businesses afford this coverage. It increases competition by creating marketplace exchanges to make it easier for small businesses and those without insurance to shop and compare plans. It funds co-ops who can offer competitive insurance plans and provide further competition for insurance companies. It allows insurance companies to offer plans across state borders further increasing the supply of competitive plans. It provides funding, infrastructure, and support to automate, digitize, and unify the country’s outdated medical information system reducing system-wide costs, improving care, and increasing productivity. Perhaps most importantly, it sets up an independent commission of doctors and medical experts to identify and root out medical system waste, fraud, and abuse and includes many pieces of reform that will reduce the most wasteful medical system practices.

Finally, I ask your indulgence to talk about my novel Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. The Chinese title comes from Buddhist scripture, and I’ve been told that my translators have had fits trying to render it into their languages. I am not especially well versed in Buddhist scripture and have but a superficial understanding of the religion. I chose this title because I believe that the basic tenets of the Buddhist faith represent universal knowledge, and that mankind’s many disputes are utterly without meaning in the Buddhist realm. In that lofty view of the universe, the world of man is to be pitied. My novel is not a religious tract; in it I wrote of man’s fate and human emotions, of man’s limitations and human generosity, and of people’s search for happiness and the lengths to which they will go, the sacrifices they will make, to uphold their beliefs. Lan Lian, a character who takes a stand against contemporary trends, is, in my view, a true hero. A peasant in a neighboring village was the model for this character. As a youngster I often saw him pass by our door pushing a creaky, wooden-wheeled cart, with a lame donkey up front led by his bound-foot wife. Given the collective nature of society back then, this strange labor group presented a bizarre sight that kept them out of step with the times. In the eyes of us children, they were clowns marching against historical trends, provoking in us such indignation that we threw stones at them as they passed us on the street. Years later, after I had begun writing, that peasant and the tableau he presented floated into my mind, and I knew that one day I would write a novel about him, that sooner or later I would tell his story to the world. But it wasn’t until the year 2005, when I viewed the Buddhist mural “The Six Stages of Samsara” on a temple wall that I knew exactly how to go about telling his story.
Indeed, there are hints in the literature already that this may be the case. For example, pre‐verbal infants at 6 months of age are capable of individuating and quantifying the number of discrete human actions (Sharon & Wynn, 1998; Wynn, 1996). Moreover, Baldwin, Baird, Saylor, and Clark (2001) showed that after habituating pre‐verbal infants to events depicting a completed goal, they show greater levels of dishabituation (as evidenced by increased looking time) when shown a subsequent event that is paused just prior to goal completion (i.e., prior to an event boundary) compared to when they are shown a subsequent event that is paused at the moment of goal completion (Baldwin et al., 2001). Taken together, these findings tentatively suggest that infants represent individuated events, and that their visual attention is guided by online processing of event structure. Based on the theoretical framework being presented here, given that event representation is both grammaticalized across languages and is early emerging in infancy, one should also expect that event representation should be an important computational unit in the visual system. Wood (2007) has done some groundbreaking work in this area by developing a change detection method for investigating memory capacity for events. The lesson from this work is that event variables play a crucial computational role in the organization of adult visual memory that mirrors the organizing role that objects play in visual memory (Luck & Vogel, 1997). Future studies could go on to ask whether one finds visual processes that are dedicated to the detection of events in a bottom‐up fashion which would have a subsequent influence on processes of visual attention or tracking (as was the case in the object vs. substance tracking literature mentioned above). Some studies have touched on this idea. So, for example, while the adult visual system seems to be better at detecting small interruptions or breaks in the video at event boundaries (Newtson & Engquist, 1976), people are worse at detecting visual probes appearing at event boundaries (Huff, Papenmeier, & Zacks, 2012). 6.2 Telicity as core knowledge? A second class of (potential) core event representation introduced in the linguistics literature concerns telicity. According to this tradition, which has its historical roots in book six of Aristotle's Metaphysics, verbs describing dynamic events can be classified into two broad grammatical categories: telic and atelic (Bach, 1986; Dowty, 1979; Garey, 1957; Parsons, 1990; Vendler, 1957; Verkuyl, 1989).
No one felt the shock more than Nick Ray. The two men had been planning to set up a production company that would have allowed Ray the artistic freedom he felt he never had with the studios. “Nick’s thing was he always wanted to be independent,” remembers Mazzola. “He didn’t want to work for the studios. He once turned down a $110,000 check that Howard Hughes gave him to run RKO. And in the 40s, that was an awful lot of money. We were all sitting around talking one night when Nick said, ‘You know, if you have the artist in front of the camera, protected by the artist behind the camera, you have your freedom.’” When Warner Bros. released Rebel Without a Cause, barely a week after Dean’s death, the publicity focused on him. In spite of mixed reviews for the film, Dean was uniformly praised. “His rare talent and appealing personality even shine through this turgid melodrama,” wrote William Zinsser in the New York Herald Tribune. Wood, Mineo, and Ray (for motion-picture story) were all nominated for Academy Awards, and the movie was the second-biggest moneymaker for Warner Bros. that year (after Moby Dick), grossing $7,197,000 in domestic and foreign screenings. Even after Dean’s death, the studio continued to receive 2,000 letters a week addressed to the star. But no man is a hero in his own hometown; back in Indiana, the headline simply read: FAIRMOUNT MAN DIES IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT IN WEST. The impact of the movie was immediate, unleashing knife fights and “chickie run” enactments around the world among teenagers, who felt that Rebel spoke for them. The film was censored in London. It had to be smuggled into Spain and shown in private screenings, and wasn’t formally released in that country until 1964, becoming Spanish exhibitors’ favorite film of the year. Elvis Presley was obsessed with the movie, and he worshipped James Dean. “I was sitting in the cafeteria at MGM one day,” Ray recalled, “and Elvis Presley came over. He knew I was a friend of Jimmy’s and had directed Rebel, so he got down on his knees before me and began to recite whole passages of dialogue from the script.
I found it useful to keep in touch with the “real world,” to remind myself that the graduate student population is not representative of humanity in general and to keep my perspective. You got into graduate school because you have already shown to your professors that you have potential and skills that are not typical among most college students, let alone most people -- don't forget that. I freely admit that this section reflects my personal bias that balance in life is important. For some people, focusing on work to the exclusion of almost everything else is how they achieve excellence. Jim Lipscomb, who was a graduate student before me at UNC, describes the traits that enabled his father, William Lipscomb, to win a Nobel Prize. However, I chose a different set of priorities and have not regretted that choice. Decide for yourself what is most important in your life.

The biggest adjustment Ivey said he has made since Davis' arrival is studying the game more.He wants to be a smarter player by the time the season starts. "It's going to be tremendous for me [to participate in spring camp],'' he said. "You get 15 practices to get better. That's only benefiting me when it gets to summertime to go out there and play Michigan. "In his short time around Ivey, Davis has seen the kind of commitment he wants from arguably the Gators' top NFL prospect on the roster.If Ivey keeps it up, the potential is there for greatness. "I think he's a kid who falls in the category of loves football. And so I've been very, very thrilled to work with him every day," Davis said. "Has a ton of potential to be a leader and to be a guy that makes other guys around him better."
This one only came up occasionally in the Crooked Timber discussion but I’ve seen it crop up again and again in other contexts. The twin ghosts of Hobbes and Rousseau crouch so stubbornly on our backs that it’s well-nigh impossible to say anything about stateless societies without the conversation ending up being about whether (a) all stateless societies are good (egalitarian, free, abundant, well-adjusted, etc), or (b) all stateless societies are evil (violent, oppressive, superstitious, etc). Let me make clear my own position right away. I take a position© all stateless societies are different. Sure, there are some ways they might be said to differ systematically from our own, but they are negligible compared to the way they different from each other. And this is pretty much what one would expect from a category of people who have nothing in common other than not being organized under a centralized government. But for me, this very heterogeneity is also what makes such societies so fascinating, and to my mind, politically important. Two towns a hundred miles apart in Medieval (or contemporary) Bengal, or Germany, may have their different local customs, but they will share the same basic set of assumptions about the nature of the universe, the same basic political and economic system. Two traditional communities even a few dozen miles apart in Zambia, or Amazonia, or Indonesia are likely to have absolutely different conceptions of what human life is ultimately about and what institution mechanisms are appropriate for realizing it. They confront us with an endless archipelago of human possibilities. In this light, it does grow rather tiresome having to listen to debates about whether all stateless society, or “human economies” are idyllic utopias, or nightmare worlds of “institutionalized rape” (i.e., arranged marriages – note here, virtually all traditional European societies had arranged marriages, especially in fact among the nobility, which you’d think might give those who levy such slurs pause to reflect for a moment about what expressions like “being treated like a princess” actually imply; some stateless societies in contrast didn’t practice arranged marriage at all—as I say they were all different. But logic flies out the window the moment one assumes that one can lump all “primitive” folk together and use the sins of any one as condemnation all of them.) This completely misses the point.
Meanwhile, Cornelius instructs David to prepare the temple designed to house the stones, then stows away on the space plane transporting Dallas to the cruise liner. Plavalaguna is killed when the Mangalores attack the hotel, but Dallas succeeds in retrieving the stones. During his struggle with the Mangalores he kills their leader, rendering the remaining Mangalores unwilling to continue fighting. Meanwhile, Zorg arrives, shooting and seriously wounding Leeloo before taking a carrying case that he presumes contains the stones back to his spacecraft. He leaves behind a time bomb that forces the hotel's occupants to evacuate. Discovering the case to be empty, Zorg returns to the hotel and deactivates his bomb, but a dying Mangalore sets off his own device, destroying the hotel and killing Zorg. Dallas, Cornelius, Leeloo, and talk-show host Ruby Rhod escape with the stones aboard Zorg's spacecraft. As the great evil approaches Earth, the four join up with David at the weapon chamber in the temple. They arrange the stones and activate them with their corresponding elements, but having witnessed and studied so much violence, Leeloo has become disenchanted with humanity and refuses to cooperate. Dallas declares his love for Leeloo and kisses her. In response, Leeloo combines the power of the stones and releases the divine light onto the great evil, destroying its power and stopping it.
""There is no sort of automatic tendency of people in the Middle East who have different strategic objectives and goals to follow us, particularly when it isn't quite clear what our goals are," he added.But the Obama administration rejects the criticism, with one unnamed official insisting several Arab powers remain "very much a part of the effort. ""Even if the airstrikes are not there because of the focus on Yemen, they're still allowing the use of their bases, and they're still very much involved with the humanitarian effort and the finance effort," the unnamed official tells the Times.
This is done to help protect the ISF from vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.As you saw last night, the coalition conducted a precision strike on ISIL fighters who had seized part of the Al Salam hospital complex in southeast Mosul and were using the facility to fire heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades at the Iraqi security forces in the area.The ISF requested the strike to facilitate the retrograde of their forces to a safer and defensible position. We don't take lightly any decision to strike a target that would normally be a protected facility. The commander has directed a review of the facts leading up to the decision to strike the hospital on December 7th, and the coalition at this time has no reason to believe that procedures were not followed properly or that unintended effects were achieved. We've not seen any indications at this point that civilians were harmed in the strike.Nevertheless, it is appropriate to set the details to assure we can fully answer questions associated with a strike such as this, and to assure our processes for such circumstances are as refined as possible.Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I'll be delighted to take your questions.CAPT. DAVIS: We'll start with Lita Baldor from the Associated Press.Q: Hey, J.D. Just a couple more questions -- details, if you could, on Al Salam. Can you give us a better sense of whether or not the Iraqis have been pushed completely back out of there? And what the impact was on the Iraqi security forces? We're hearing that there were a lot of casualties. If you have any assessment on that.And when you're talking about looking into the hospital strike, has there been a decision to conduct an investigation into the strike? Or is this just one of the early review processes that you're looking at to determine if an investigation is needed?COL. DORRIAN: I'll start with your second question first, Lita.At this point, it's just an assessment to just go over the facts, make sure that we have properly accounted for everything that was done and all the decisions that were made at this time. So it's not an investigation. It's just an assessment of what was done.For your second question, I'm going to have to leave it to the Iraqi Security Forces to provide details with regard to their casualties.

To quote someone on his own more recent departure from a Leninist organisation, “master dialecticians, they can defend any barbarity to their own satisfaction. They’re still telling themselves, no doubt, that all this stuff… is a pack of lies dreamed up to hurt the party.” That was you leaving the sect-like Socialist Workers Party in 2013, when it faced no civil war, no murderous enemies. And yes my argument is indeed that the Bolshevism created by Lenin was structurally an authoritarian and sectarian project. Martin Ivanovich La- cis was a courageous and disciplined Latvian Bolshevik who, a few months after the Revolution, found himself in Ukraine working for the secret police founded by Lenin—the Cheka. Following Lenin’s analysis, he explained his approach to winnowing out enemies of the Revolution. “The first question you should ask him is what class he belongs to, what is his origin, education, profession. These questions should determine his fate.” You will, if you are honest, recognise the logic at work here. It eventually caught up with La- cis—Stalin had him shot in 1938. I don’t believe the Bolshevik Revolution was the only great change possible. In itself and in its long aftermath, it divided the socialist movement and crippled the capacity of the left to make alliances in the face of fascism. Because of it, for nearly a century, many wonderful and brave people were derailed onto tracks that led into the arid exile of Trotskyism or a state of blustering apologism for the indefensible. Or both. It is beyond my verbal powers to explain why the comparison of Stalinist murderers with backward, patriarchal British Trotskyism, is wildly off the mark. But I can see a logical progression in moving from “contextualising” the invasion of Hungary (3,000 deaths) to cheerleading the invasion of Iraq (up to a million deaths). Still, even you agree that context and evidence matters. As you wrote about Iraq: “Those weapons had better be there somewhere.” We all make mistakes. Let me mention some weapons that did exist. In Ukraine and southern Russia in April 1918, there began a campaign of mass destruction. At least 100,000 Jews were butchered by “White” forces and Ukrainian nationalists. Cossacks took power in the south-east and killed tens of thousands. Thus began the White Terror. You’re right that soviet power was not the “only great change” possible: the material forces of the pogrom-state were armed and ready for power.
But the younger generation of music listeners is not aware of that stuff. This stuff is not a surprise to them. Does it matter? Sure, it matters. It matters because in a society where artists are squeezed out of being heard or seen, whether it's in music or any other art form, then you're really not getting a challenge to the status quo. So, if music is being made by an independent artist, but is not being heard, then things are not going to change. There's no challenge to the accepted norm. And that's really what the artists are for, and that's the role that they play throughout history. …
While the ACB trapped the driver and the PA in a trap laid in February last year, the agency requires permission from the Urban Development department to file a charge sheet against the two corporators under the Prevention of Corruption Act since they are elected representatives.Fadnavis, soon after his swearing-in ceremony, had declared that his government will have “zero tolerance on corruption”.While Palande’s personal assistant was trapped by the ACB for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe from a garage owner to protect his ‘illegal shed’ in Chembur, Sharma was booked for bribery after his driver Avdhut Tari and personal assistant Brijlal Tiwari were arrested by the ACB while accepting Rs 100,000 bribe from a transporter who wanted to evade octroi.Vasant Devarkar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (ACB) told Mumbai Mirror on Tuesday that no nod for prosecution was received from the state government.According to Urban Development department officials, both the deputy secretary and the principal secretary of the department had suggested that the permission to prosecute the two corporators should be granted, but the CM decided otherwise. “Since we were asked to submit a proposal with direct evidence we sent the file to the Law and Judiciary department for its opinion. They sent the file back to us and we are now trying to examine the forensic evidence,” said a senior UD official who refused to be named.According to experts, it isn’t the Urban Development department’s job to examine evidence. “If the ACB have given a report and want to prosecute the two corporators, the department should give them sanction. Urban Development department is not the competent authority to examine any evidence or forensic records. This is just a mechanism to delay the prosecution. The courts have to decide if there is direct evidence or no,” said IPS officer-turned-lawyer Y P Singh.When contacted on Tuesday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that he would check the concerned files and get back.Both Sharma and Palande told Mumbai Mirror on Tuesday that they have secured anticipatory bails. “The ACB has recorded my statement. The case will not stand in a court of law,” said Sharma.
In his words, “Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing.” If on the other hand, you bet on it being false and it turns out to be true, you lose everything; thus to do so would be stupid if the stakes are high. This is a clear-cut defense of faith. The many refutations of Pascal’s Wager concern not its logic but its unstated premises: that if God exists then there is a Heaven, that only believers go to Heaven, and that belief requires no action leading to harm. Similarly, there are unstated premises in application of this logic to faith in space colonization—it is based on the assumptions that humankind cannot survive indefinitely while confined to one small planet, that extinction of humankind would be a bad outcome, and that widespread faith within society will be needed if large-scale colonies are to be established. Although many people deny the first assumption, that strikes me as a head-in-the-sand attitude. It is simply not reasonable to believe that the dwindling resources of Earth, however extended by wise use, can support its population forever; and even if they could, the danger of disaster—whether from global war, runaway technology, or a natural event such as an asteroid strike—would remain. Supposing a remnant of the human race did escape destruction, in the distant future it would be annihilated by changes in the Sun. Does the absence of evidence that colonizing space can save our species make faith in it a religion? Of course it does. The second assumption, unlike the first, is not subject to factual analysis. There are people who aren’t bothered by the prospect of extinction, and if they’re not, no argument can convince them that it is to be avoided. One might ask, however, what difference the time frame makes to them as long as the human race isn’t wiped out while they’re alive? If it’s okay for us to become extinct, why not a mere hundred years from now? Most people, even those who don't care what happens in the distant future, feel strongly that it would be a bad thing for humankind not to outlast their grandchildren. Yet either the fate of our descendants matters, or it doesn’t.
In my own research, the first important thing was probably the notion that bystanders ARE part of the bullying process. My first publication on this topic came out in 1996, and at that time it was still common to focus (both in research and in interventions) on the individual bullies and victims. Today, the view of the group as participant is widely spread and also mentioned (e.g. empowering the bystanders) in many bullying prevention/intervention programs. After the first 1996 study, my group has continued to focus more on the bystanders than on bullies or victims. We know that classrooms vary considerably with respect to the degree of bullying problems, and this variation can be explained by classroom norms and actual bystander behaviors (whether students witnessing bullying tend to take sides with the victim or to join/reinforce the bully). We also know that individual-level factors, which usually increase the risk of victimization, do not operate similarly in all classrooms. For instance, socially anxious children are at high risk of being victimized, especially in classrooms where reinforcing the bully is normative (occurring at high levels). We believe that influencing the bystanders is a key to successful prevention of bullying. Also, we have examined which individual and classroom-level factors are associated with constructive bystander behaviors such as defending and supporting the peers who are targets of bullying. For instance, in order to take sides with the victimized peer, empathy is not enough. Many students who have lots of empathy towards victims still do not act upon it. We need to provide students with safe strategies to take sides with the weaker ones. This information has been utilized in developing the materials included in the KiVa™ program.
Generic drug companies complain it is difficult to get drugs on the market Drug companies are blocking or delaying the entry of cheaper generic medicines into the EU, pushing up medicine bills, the European Commission has said. Their actions cost EU healthcare providers 3bn euros ($3.9bn; £2.5bn) in savings between 2000 and 2007, it said. It added that drug firms used legal action and multiple patents to stop rivals getting to market. Drug firms said the "perfectly lawful" measures were justified to protect investment in research and development. Market access Generic drug companies - which sell cheaper versions of drugs once the patent has expired - have long complained that it is difficult to get their drugs to market in Europe. Big Pharma invests heavily in the development of new drugs The Commission said that innovators filed multiple applications to stop generic drugs getting to market - in one case, there were 1,300 patents for a single drug. The report found that owners of original drugs often intervened in national approval procedures for generic medicines. There were nearly 700 cases of reported patent litigation and more than 200 settlements between brand name drug companies and generic companies. More than 10% of these settlements limited the entry of the generic drug to the market. Fine threat "Market entry of generic companies and the development of new and more affordable medicines is sometimes blocked or delayed, at significant cost to healthcare systems, consumers and taxpayers," said Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes. "It is still early days but the Commission will not hesitate to open antitrust cases against companies where there are indications that the antitrust rules may have been breached," she added. The Commission could impose large fines on drug companies if they have engaged in unfair practices. In 2005, AstraZeneca was fined 60m euros for blocking cheaper rivals to Losec, its heartburn and ulcer pill. Pressure mounts Drug firms use "perfectly lawful practices - such as patent portfolios, patent litigation and the release of improved medicines," the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) said. "These [practices] are essential for innovators to protect their huge investment in R&D [research and development]," it said, adding that the 17% of turnover industry spent on R&D exceeds any other sector in Europe.
It’s a busy week on Broadway as curtains rise on almost half of this season’s new shows — but most of them won’t officially open until next month. It’s the beginning of fall previews, when you can start seeing shows that have moved out of rehearsal rooms and onto the stage, but are not quite finished yet. The difference between “on sale” and “open” can be confusing even for veteran ticket-buyers, so here are the five things to know before you book a show. You’re seeing an unfinished product Recommended Slideshows 4 Pictures PHOTOS: Singapore's treasures star in NY Botanical Garden's 2019 Orchid Show 4 Pictures 36 Pictures Oscars 2019: Red carpet looks and full list of winners 36 Pictures 36 Pictures All of these celebrities have had their nudes leaked 36 Pictures More picture galleries 16 Pictures These photos of Trump and Ivanka will make you deeply uncomfortable 16 Pictures 4 Pictures Inside Brooklyn's Teknopolis is tech that makes us more human 4 Pictures 4 Pictures Inside The Strand's Fight Against Being Named a New York City Landmark 4 Pictures Broadway plays typically spend between two and five weeks in previews before they open. This period might be shorter if the production already had several successful workshops, an out-of-town run or a staging off-Broadway. If you know that’s the case, you can usually feel more confident buying preview seats. RELATED: Photos: Diner en Blanc 2016 takes over Battery Park City If the show is new, however, previews give it a chance to make money before it’s finalized (or “frozen” in industry language) and to try out the material in front of a live audience. But it also means you’re not seeing the official version. Scenes may change, entire roles may be eliminated, or songs may be moved — or removed entirely, as it happened with a couple numbers from “Hamilton” between its off-Broadway run and the transition to the Richard Rodgers Theatre. There may also be technical elements to be worked out in terms of staging or lighting. There’s no way to know when in the preview process a show is frozen, only that it will be by opening night.

The McMartin Preschool Abuse Trial, the longest and most expensive criminal trial in American history, should serve as a cautionary tale. When it was all over, the government had spent seven years and $15 million dollars investigating and prosecuting a case that led to no convictions. More seriously, the McMartin case left in its wake hundreds of emotionally damaged children, as well as ruined careers for members of the McMartin staff. No one paid a bigger price than Ray Buckey, one of the principal defendants in the case, who spent five years in jail awaiting trial for a crime (most people recognize today) he never committed. McMartin juror Brenda Williams said that the trial experience taught her to be more cautious: "I now realize how easily something can be said and misinterpreted and blown out of proportion." Another juror, Mark Bassett, singled out "experts" for blame: "I thought some of the expert testimony about the children told you more about the expert than the child. I mean, if the expert says children are always 100% believable and then you have a child who is not believable, either the expert is extremely biased or they've never seen anything like that child before." The McMartin trial had its origins in a call placed to police in Manhattan Beach, California by Judy Johnson, the mother of a two-and-a-half-year-old son who attended the McMartin Preschool on about ten occasions in 1983. Johnson told Detective Jane Hoag that a school aide, Ray Buckey, the 25-year-old son of the owner of the preschool, had molested her son. Despite the fact that the young boy was unable to identify Ray from photos and medical investigations of the boy showed no signs of sexual abuse, the police conducted searches of Buckey's home, confiscating such "evidence" as a rubber duck, a graduation robe, a Teddy bear, and Playboy magazines. Detective Hoag arrested Buckey on September 7, 1983. The next day, Police Chief Harry Kuhlmeyer sent a letter to 200 McMartin Preschool parents informing them that Ray Buckey was suspected of child abuse and asking them for information. The letter asked parents to "question your child to see if he or she has been a witness to any crime or if he or she has been a victim."
Posted Apr 09 2012 6:48PM Much was made about the Boston Celtics' easy win over the Miami Heat just over a week ago. A repeat performance, however, could be hard to come by with the next matchup coming in South Beach. Surging Boston tries for an eighth win in 10 games Tuesday night against a Heat team that's been nearly unbeatable at home. The Celtics (32-24) have used a 7-2 run to climb into first place in the Atlantic Division, with the most notable of those wins coming 91-72 over Miami (40-15) on April 1. Rajon Rondo posted 16 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds for Boston, which limited the Heat to a season-worst 34.8 percent shooting and their lowest scoring output of 2011-12. "We'll be better prepared," LeBron James said. "They beat us. They dominated us in that game. But we'll be better prepared." The Celtics followed that victory with back-to-back losses to San Antonio and Chicago before winning 86-72 at Indiana on Saturday and 103-79 over division-rival Philadelphia the following night. "We know what's at stake," forward Paul Pierce said. "A fourth seed, maybe a third." The Celtics own a three-game division lead over New York and Philadelphia and sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. "This team is taking it to another level. They make you look bad. Did it to Miami last Sunday, did it to Indiana and now they did it to us," said 76ers coach Doug Collins, whose team was limited to 38.2 percent shooting. "They are going to be a handful and I wouldn't want to play them in the playoffs. When Boston locks in they are really tough to play against. It's going to be very interesting. I wouldn't blink on Boston. Everybody wants to talk about Miami and Chicago." The Heat are two games behind the Bulls for the top spot in the East thanks largely to their play on their own court. Miami had a 17-game home winning streak end with Friday night's 97-82 loss to Memphis before beating Detroit 98-75 at AmericanAirlines Arena on Sunday. James had 26 points, Chris Bosh scored 22 to go along with nine rebounds and James Jones tied a career high with six 3-pointers Sunday for Miami, which was without Dwyane Wade due to right ankle soreness. "Right now, every guy's on edge pretty much, trying to play to their utmost capabilities," Jones said.
But 30 per cent of patients don’t have suitable veins so can’t have the operation. No alternative currently exists for them,” says Seifalian.“We are the first in the world with this. Nobody else is even close. It has been successful in animal trials; this year it will be going for patient trials.”While Seifalian acknowledged that more time is needed to see how these materials react with the body in the long term, the ultimate hope is that it will eliminate the need for organ donation someday. Oseni said, “If we can grow a heart, a lung or a trachea in a lab, we don’t need to wait for donors.”Check out BBC‘s report on last year’s synthetic trachea transplant for more on the process:
Oh, you put your shitty Sylvia Plath quotes on your Instagram and Twitter and Facebook, please tell me all about how deep and meaningful your blank verse is you pretentious cunt. "I eat men like air"? More like "I eat dicks like a giant fucking cock-mongering slut who betrays the trust of those who love me and treat anyone who loves me like shit" fuck you I loved you why would you Porn: Some of it is good, and personally I think it's the best part about the site. It's the only part of the website that involves women doing what I want to see. None of that, "no I'm not feeling so good I have a headache" Well, you didn't seem to have a headache when LeShawnDonJohnson TyroneShawnusufius Jockswanana was railing you in my bed, my fucking bed, you could've at least done it at your place but no you wanted a fucking audience. You acted surprised, but I know that was your fucking way of-- where was I? Oh, porn. It's okay, I guess. #poetry #poemsareforfags #whores 2 notes, posted on 15 august 2015
Yep! I am working at the manuscript of a module preview for Gary Con, and reminiscing at the same time. Seemed fitting, looking both at the past, and looking forward to the future. Reposting this from facebook:"It is likely that today is the anniversary of the reveal of the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game in late January of 1974, the first Sunday when game designer Ernest Gary Gygax invited people to come to his house and play his and Dave Arneson's brand new game.I always was curious and inquisitive as a child growing up between Normandy and the French Ardennes. My parents were very good to me, instilling in me a critical mind, spirit, a will to go out and be myself, answering my questions about all things, or pointing me in the right direction to find them out on my own. It'd be hard for me to say that the Dungeons & Dragons game taught me all those things. But surrounded as I was with the castles of Robert the Devil and Richard the Lionheart, inspired as I was by fantasy as well as the world around me, I think that my discovery of the game on that fateful week-end of November 1988 in Vendresse, France, where my cousin Carlos Sacré ran us through his version of the Village of Hommlet, had the effect of a lightning bolt on me, bringing all these elements into a whole that would define how I would shape both my imagination and personality from then on.I owe it in no small part to Dungeons & Dragons to know what words like "eldritch" or "dweomer" or indeed "marmoreal" actually mean. Heck, I probably wouldn't speak English every day if it wasn't for deciphering the books on my own with an Harrap's dictionary as a young lad. I might not have plugged myself into Ancient History on the internet, might not have met Nerissa Montie at all. I might not have come to live here in Canada, nor met so many wonderful friends and played with them over the years. I wouldn't be where I am today, creating new content for those who love the game as I do, enjoying the partnership and friendship of one Ernest Gary Gygax Jr.Today, I am celebrating, remembering the many games, the many laughs, the dice rolling, the role playing, as I work my way through our latest manuscript.

"When you kill pigs, you got the funny smell on you. That funny smell. When you butcher animals. Nobody kept track of him. Filipinos, they come and order the meat. I drive down there and everybody is waiting for a pig." He says Robert was always simple. "I'm baffled. I beat my head against the wall. He couldn't operate equipment. He didn't have the intelligence, the coordination." He says he doesn't believe his brother did it. "My brother, I don't think he could pull it off because he wasn't smart enough. He had a lot of weird people hanging around him. . . . Somebody had some intelligence. You see weird people pull down there all the time, 'Willy, can I use the phone in the trailer?' " He says, "Lots of people come down and help him do slaughtering. Do you know how many pigs my brother killed a year? Two thousand. Lots of people down there slaughtering. I walk in and people say, 'Willy told me I could slaughter this pig.' He wasn't the only one." At some point, Gagnon stops Dave Pickton and asks again whether he had ever seen her sister Janet. Gagnon said the last person who saw Janet alive recalled that she said she was going to "Uncle Willy's to party." Did she go to Piggy's Palace? Gagnon asks. Is Piggy's Palace as bad as she heard? Dave Pickton says he had not seen her sister and offers to take the grieving siblings to Piggy's Palace to show them it was a decent bar. There, he unlocks the metal door to the barn made of corrugated steel that was once a notorious nightclub, where many of the missing women were said to have partied. Dave Pickton points at the disco lights and the bar, all salvaged from demolition sites. He says it was a good, clean place to party and nothing bad ever happened there. Dave Pickton says again that he doesn't think his brother had the intelligence to pull off mass murder. "My brother don't associate with people. When I was going for coffee, he sit in the truck and wait." Then he pauses and says: "I don't know him any more. I thought I knew him like a book. It's devastating." He says he doesn't watch television or listen to the radio because he doesn't want to hear news of his brother's case.

Jean de la Forest, whom the King sends to meet with the Grand Signor [Suleiman the Magnificent], will first go from Marseille to Tunis, in Barbary, to meet sir Haradin, king of Algiers, who will direct him to the Grand Signor. To this objective, next summer, he [the King of France] with send the military force he is preparing to recover what it unjustly occupied by the Duke of Savoy, and from there, to attack the Genoese. This king Francis I strongly prays sir Haradin, who has a powerful naval force as well as a convenient location [Tunisia], to attack the island of Corsica and other lands, locations, cities, ships and subjects of Genoa, and not to stop until they have accepted and recognized the king of France. The King, besides the above land force, will additionally help with his naval force, which will comprise at least 50 vessels, of which 30 galleys, and the rest galeasses and other vessels, accompanied by one of the largest and most beautiful carracks that ever was on the sea. This fleet will accompany and escort the army of sir Haradin, which will also be refreshed and supplied with food and ammunition by the King, who, by these actions, will be able to achieve his aims, for which he will be highly grateful to sir Haradin. ... To the Grand Signor, Monsieur de La Forest must ask for 1 million in gold, and for his army to enter first in Sicily and Sardinia and establish there a king whom La Forest will nominate, a person who has credit and knows well these islands which he will retain in the devotion of, and under the shade and support of the King [of France]. Furthermore, he will recognize this blessing, and send tribute and pension to the Grand Signor to reward him for the financial support he will have provided to the King, as well as the support of his navy which will be fully assisted by the King [of France]. Military instruction from Francis I to Jean de La Forest, 1535. [32]
5. The Most Excellent Pair of Disciples In the 14th text of the "Longer Discourses" (Digha Nikaya: Mahapadana Sutta), the Awakened One speaks of six Buddhas of the past and says that each of them had two chief disciples and one attendant; and elsewhere (Samy. 47, 14) he says that all the Buddhas of the past and future had or will have one pre-eminent pair of disciples. When a Perfectly Awakened One is going to appear these three are as necessary to him just as the ministers of war, of the interior and of finance are necessary to a king. The Buddha himself uses this comparison with a state's administration. He spoke of Ananda who could remember all discourses of the Buddha, as the Treasurer of the Teaching (minister of finance), of Sariputta as its general in command, and of Moggallana as child's nurse (minister of the interior). Of these four (including the Buddha), two groups of two had certain things in common: the Buddha and Ananda belonged to the warrior caste (khattiya) and were born on the same day; Sariputta and Moggallana, however, were Brahmans, and likewise born on the same day. This affinity showed itself also in their lives. Ananda was always with the Buddha; since the time when he started to be his attendant, he followed him like a shadow; whereas Moggallana was almost inseparable from Sariputta and nearly always together with him. Whenever the Buddha, in advancing years, felt physically tired, these three men were the only ones whom he asked to expound the Teaching on his behalf. This happened, for instance, at Kapilavatthu when Moggallana gave a long discourse on sense-control as remedy against being submerged in the flood of the six sense impressions (Samy. 35, 202). After Sariputta and Maha-Moggallana had attained Sainthood, the Buddha announced to the Order that they were his chief disciples. Some of the monks were surprised and began to grumble why the Master did not treat with such distinction those ordained first, the "men of the first hour," as for instance, the Group of Five, or Yasa or the three Kassapas. Why did he overlook them and give prominence to those who had entered the Order last and were young in seniority? To this the Awakened One replied that each reaps according to his merit. For aeons Sariputta and Moggallana had been progressing towards this state, by gradually cultivating the necessary faculties.

(NaturalNews) Another day, another attempt by the progressive Left to impose its will on the entire country.A U.S. congresswoman from Florida, Frederica S. Wilson, from the state's 24th district, has just introduced legislation, House Resolution 2232 , that, if passed and signed into law, would mandate that all states require all students enrolled in public schools to be vaccinated with all vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Policy, a federal entity comprised chiefly of(Big Pharma). The bill calls for children to be vaccinated specifically against HPV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Paul Offit's rotavirus vaccine, annual flu shots and dozens of others.As reported by the Autism Action Network , any state that doesn't comply would be held financially hostage to federal funding: No grants for "preventative health services" under the Public Health Services Act (which, in its original form, doescontain provisions requiring that kids be vaccinated or federal funding would be withheld).As the Autism Action Network - which is opposed to the legislation – reported further:As in the recently-enacted SB277 in California , the Wilson legislation would remove all objections from parents for religious or secular, philosophical reasons. Medical exceptions would be rare and only allowed via the faceless bureaucracy; a physician would have to submit a letter "demonstrating (to the satisfaction of the individual in charge of the health program at the student's school) that the physician's opinion conforms to the accepted standard of medical care. "That "accepted standard" is, of course, whatever the federal bureaucracy proclaims it to be, much of which will further depend on the political tendencies of the president to which said bureaucracy answers.What's more, as noted by the Autism Action Network, the approving authority at the child's school most likely would not be a physician, so that part of the Wilson bill most definitely permits the overriding of the physician's judgment by anyone who merely disagrees with the exemption, regardless of the person's credentials and qualifications. They wouldn't even be required to examine the child or see the child's medical records before overriding their doctor.Wilson is a Democrat in a U.S. House that is currently dominated by a large Republican majority, so there is not much chance her bill will pass. As of this report, it did not have any co-sponsors.
Somehow, over the next few months, teams at SolarCity, Tesla, and 3M (which makes solar films that can be used for solar glass tiles) managed to put together a glass-tile solar roof demo, which Musk unveiled on October 28 at an event at Universal Studios’ back lot in Los Angeles, on an old residential set used in Desperate Housewives. Shortly before sunset, Musk appeared onstage in front of a crowd of several hundred to make his big reveal. “The houses you see around you are all solar houses. Did you notice?” he said, gesturing toward the homes with a grin. They appeared to have regular shingled rooftops, but Musk said they’d actually been retrofitted with a new product called the Solar Roof, a potentially transformative system that’s nearly indistinguishable from a traditional rooftop—and one, he promised, that lasts longer and costs less, all while generating electricity. “Why would you buy anything else?” he said. The crowd cheered. Some people aware of Steel Pulse’s development at SolarCity were shocked by what Musk revealed. “Where the hell did that come from?” says one source, describing a common sentiment among certain teams at the time. Considering how different it looked from the standing-seam metal roof prototype, many sources concluded the demo was simply not real–it was merely vaporware. (As one jokes, “There’s a reason that they announced the idea on a fake block in a fake neighborhood with fake houses!”) A well-connected source explains, “Basically, from August to October, it was more about getting the thing to look right, and then from October until now, it’s really about getting the thing to work. This is just how Tesla does things. Their first car demo [for the Model S] was held together by magnets.” A spokesperson for Tesla and SolarCity explains that the companies had been pursuing both a metal and a glass version for much of 2016, and that “Steel Pulse was a potential version of Solar Roof.” The spokesperson adds that some of the work that had been done on the metal Steel Pulse concept was transferable to the glass version, and that the current prototype of Solar Roof includes metal components. Still, the company does acknowledge that the demos Musk unveiled at Universal Studios were not functional. Nor, as it happens, had Musk changed his view of the metal Steel Pulse version, which team members had installed on one of the houses there, according to sources.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.15 Libtool 2.4.6 Gnulib v0.1-92-g546ff82 Makeinfo 6.0 Changes in 2.1.1 (changes since the 2.0.x series): * Notable changes Speed The biggest change in Guile 2.2 is a complete rewrite of its virtual machine and compiler internals. The result is faster startup time, better memory usage, and faster execution of user code. See the "Performance improvements" section below for more details. Better thread-safety This new release series takes the ABI-break opportunity to fix some interfaces that were difficult to use correctly from multiple threads. Notably, weak hash tables are now transparently thread-safe. Ports are also thread-safe; see "New interfaces" below for details on the changes to the C interface. Better space-safety It used to be the case that, when calling a Scheme procedure, the procedure and arguments were always preserved against garbage collection. This is no longer the case; Guile is free to collect the procedure and arguments if they become unreachable, or to re-use their slots for other local variables. Guile still offers good-quality backtraces by determining the procedure being called from the instruction pointer instead of from the value in slot 0 of an application frame, and by using a live variable map that allows the debugger to know which locals are live at all points in a frame. Off-main-thread finalization Following Guile 2.0.6's change to invoke finalizers via asyncs, Guile 2.2 takes the additional step of invoking finalizers from a dedicated finalizer thread, if threads are enabled. This avoids concurrency issues between finalizers and application code, and also speeds up finalization. If your application's finalizers are not robust to the presence of threads, see "Foreign Objects" in the manual for information on how to disable automatic finalization and instead run finalizers manually. ** Better locale support in Guile scripts When Guile is invoked directly, either from the command line or via a hash-bang line (e.g. "#!/usr/bin/guile"), it now installs the current locale via a call to `(setlocale LC_ALL "")'. For users with a unicode locale, this makes all ports unicode-capable by default, without the need to call `setlocale' in your program.
As he proved in the Arizona Fall League after a very good year considering it was in the pitcher’s haven of Jupiter last full season, the Marlins may really have something in Austin Dean. Following a .268/.318/.366 year with the Hammerheads which led his team and placed 18th in the Florida State League and earned him a FSL All Star Game invite as well as an invite to the Arizona Fall League where he hit .323/.364/.452 and made his second All-Star game of the year, Dean comes to the Suns riding high. What he has to thank for his success is a balanced approach, including the ability to wait pitches out until they are finished breaking and a short quick line drive stroke, backed by a solid lower half. His solid and still improving plate vision makes him a pesky out to get. He gets in the mind of pitchers, frustrating them by trying not to do too much with pitches out of his reach but rather just foul them off, forcing pitchers to make mistakes. Dean’s swing isn’t one that’s going to warrant him a ton of long balls but rather a prototypical short line drive stroke (as proven by a career 18.66 LD% coming into this year) that has the ability to reach all fields. As proven by a 77/148 BB/K over the course of his first two full seasons in the minors, Dean also isn’t afraid to take a walk if he doesn’t get what he likes. His patience, swing and plus speed which includes a good first step out of the box and warranted him 18 steals last year make him a fantastic future leadoff or two slot candidate. Dean will be and, by way of a .306/.416/.472 through his first 20 games in AA which includes an OBP that is currently fifth in the Southern League and a SLG and BA which rank 15th making him one of if not the best all-around bat thus far, already has been a fun project to watch fill out.
▲ 우선 오늘 경기를 연습해준 분들에게 모두 감사의 말을 전하고 싶고 또한 황강호 선수에게 감사한다. 지난 인터뷰에서 장재호 선수를 뛰어난 선수로 묘사하지 못한 것 같은데 물론 그 선수 역시 뛰어난다고 생각한다. 그리고 장민철 선수와 베스트 프렌드라는 것에 대해 진실에 가깝다고 이야기했는데 진짜 베스트 프렌드라고 다시 말하고 싶다(웃음). 마지막으로 경기 며칠전에 모자를 직접 만들어 주신 어머니께 정말 감사하다고 전하고 싶다. Liquid'Jinro, 'oGsMC is really my best friend. 'Liquid'Jinro has obtained Code S while advancing to the round of 8 by defeating PoltPrime 2:0.A. I don't know. I don't know what to say, because I'm so happy. It feels great (laughs).A. Like I said before, I will stay in Korea as long as I remain in Code S.A. I was nervous, but it wasn't because he beat SlayerS_BoxeR, but because he was very underrated. From my point of view, he has consistenly qualified for the main stage and he's been improving over time, I wasn't nervous just because he beat SlayerS_BoxeR.A. In set 1, I played according to what he was doing since he wasn't showing me his builds. I think he played that way since he didn't know my builds either. In set 2, even though I didn't have that much to prepare for today's match, I attacked with banshees and somehow things went better than I expected so I was able to win.A. I spent time practicing with oGsHyperdub, oGsGon, Choi Joon-Sik, oGsggOma, and SeleCt. Oh, I also practiced with oGsTOP.A. I knew that both of them were very talented. I played a lot of games against choyafOu, but I haven't seen IMmvp since the time I started. I personally prefer TvP, so I hope choyafOu advances, but I don't care if IMmvp advances either.A. I'm happy to gain fans in a foreign country, and I'm happy to have fans all over the world. I want to ask for continuous support until the very end.A. I want to thank everyone that practiced with me, including IMLosirA. In the last interview, I don't think I described FOX_Liberty to be a good player, but I definitely think that he is an amazing player. Also, I said that being best friends with oGsMC was close to being true, but I want to say again that we're indeed best friends (laughs). Lastly, I want to thank my mom for making the beanie a few days before the match.Original interview in Korean (www.fomos.kr):
On June 20, the Trinidad Triggers were back in town. Tensions were high. The Fuego had recently been feuding with two of the umpires, whom they accused of being antagonistic and vindictive, eager to throw out coaches and players alike. A rumor was circulating that one of the men in question, a Puerto Rican ump named Edwin Ortiz who spoke only limited English, was trying to lead the league in ejections. “They are fucking atrocious,” told me at one point. He pointed at my notebook: “You can put that in there.” A certain amount of frustration on the umps’ part was understandable. In many ways, their careers paralleled the players’. They were at the bottom of professional baseball’s pecking order, looking to move up, making just $1,500 for the summer while paying their own travel expenses. They felt disrespected by the players; “Indy ball,” one veteran independent league ump told me, “is major league attitude with minor league talent.” Things had come to a head the previous night in a game against the Vaqueros. Ortiz’s partner and de facto translator, a Santa Fe local named Harold Moya, had called the Fuego’s John Murphy out on two very dubious strikes. In response, Moore calmly walked over to the visiting dugout, picked up a bucket of baseballs, carried them to home plate, and dumped them over Moya’s head. It was difficult to get suspended for abusing an ump in the Pecos League, so tonight Moore was once again in his customary spot up the third-base line. In the bottom of the first inning, with runners on second and third, Palmer hit a ball farther than he ever had in his life. It traveled out of the confines of Fort Marcy and over the firehouse that sits beyond the left-field wall. smiled as he jogged around the bases. Both his father, a former powerlifter and high school ballplayer, and his host mom, Andrea Probst, were in the crowd. The Fuego were winning four to nothing. His father went in search of the ball. In the top of the third inning, Palmer noticed that one of the Triggers, a leadoff batter named John Fabry, was tipping pitches—using hand signals while on the base paths to cue hitters into what was coming next. This is a time-honored practice in baseball, but “don’t make it so fucking obvious,” Palmer told Fabry. He hinted that a fastball to Fabry’s ribs might be in order.

Feathers and cuneiform letters are chiseled into other fragments.Much of it was unearthed during the 1950s by Christie’s husband, Max Mallowan, who wrote the book: “Nimrud and its Remains.”Christie’s own interest in archaeology is evident in “Death on the Nile” and “Murder in Mesopotamia” and she began writing her autobiography in Nimrud. But she spent most of her time there documenting Mallowan’s work in photographs, and cleaning ivories dug up from the ruins, using her own face cream to coax dirt out of the crevices.Mohammed Saeed is too young to have met Christie, but he is familiar with her legend.A local man, he has worked on excavations at Nimrud since 1996, and used to show tourists around in less turbulent times.“Here was Agatha Christie’s room,” he said, standing on a nondescript patch of scorched ground at the edge of the mound. “Now nothing is left.”Saeed was present when Islamic State took over and remained as a guard at the site until he started receiving threats from the militants.Over the following months, he saw bulldozers at work on the mound, and at night, cars came and went. He suspected they were traders inspecting what could be sold to fill Islamic State’s coffers. A year later, the militants blew up the site.“I can’t describe how I felt. My brothers thought I was going to die,” said Saeed. “The ruins are a symbol, a civilization. They represent this nation.”It is a feeling he believes Christie would have shared: “She probably would have collapsed,” he said.There is hope however. Saeed said there were plans to begin excavating the southern palace next spring.As Christie prepared to leave Nimrud, she wrote: “Now Nimrud sleeps. We have scarred it with our bulldozers. Its yawning pits have been filled in with raw earth. One day its wounds will have healed, and it will bloom once again with early spring flowers ... Who shall disturb it next? We do not know.”
On 15 March 2015, the Defendant alleged the Plaintiffs suspended payments to her due and payable under the Deed, and that this amounted to a repudiation of the Deed (Amended Cross-Claim [66]). The Plaintiffs alleged this was on the grounds they believed they were no longer obliged to pay her because she had refused to comply with a request made pursuant to clause 6 of Schedule 1 of the Deed that she provide access to her electronic devices and records (Defence to Cross-Claim [66]). On 29 May 2015, the Defendant lodged a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) based on allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination and victimisation by the Plaintiffs and certain of the Plaintiffs’ employees (AHRC Complaint). The Defendant alleged this amounted to an acceptance of the repudiation of the Deed (Amended Cross-Claim [77]). In or about November and December 2016, the Defendant went public with her relationship with Mr Worner and alleged mistreatment by the Plaintiffs, making statements to several print and online media outlets. The Defendant admitted such material included the release of a media statement on 18 December 2016 detailing confidential information regarding the Deed and the background facts leading up to that Deed (December 2016 Media Statement) (Notice Disputing Facts [1]). The Defendant alleged this action was, in the alternative to the AHRC Complaint, an acceptance of the Plaintiffs’ repudiation of the Deed (Amended Cross-Claim [78]). On 13 February 2017, the Plaintiffs commenced proceedings in this Court by summons before the Duty Judge, McDougall J, seeking interlocutory and final injunctive relief restraining the Defendant from breaching her alleged obligations under the Deed. That same day, his Honour granted an ex parte injunction, enjoining the Defendant from, in short, disclosing, copying or reproducing confidential information under the Deed, talking to or through the media and to the public about any aspect relating to the Plaintiffs, her agreements with the Plaintiffs, her relationship with Mr Worner and her employment and termination, encouraging others to make such comments, and/or disclosing the contents of the Deed. On 14 February 2017, these orders were extended by McDougall J until 5pm on 21 February 2017. On 21 February 2017, the Defendant, represented by Mr Catlin of counsel and Mr Westcott, contested the interlocutory orders. Mr Bell SC and Mr Thomas of Counsel appeared for the Plaintiffs.
Taking one of the more monumental anarchist texts from the first half of the twentieth century, Nationalism And Culture by the syndicalist Rudolf Rocker (29) and comparing it with the nineteenth-century outpourings of both Matthew Arnold in Culture And Anarchy (30) and Mikhail Bakunin in Statism And Anarchy, (31) one discovers that the similarities between the views of Arnold and the two anarchists are as striking, sometimes more striking, than the differences. While Rocker uses 'anarchy' as a synonym for 'order' and Arnold employs the same term to mean 'chaos', both men ground their social criticism on an opposition between culture and philistinism. In Nationalism And Culture Rocker opines: 'The citizenry of the Netherlands, which once carried on a desperate fight for the liberation of the country from the yoke of Spanish despotism, came out victorious in that struggle. A new spirit entered into every class of the population and brought the little country to an undreamed of height... But this unbridled spirit was rather quickly curbed; the desire for orderly conditions became more and more noticeable among the citizens, and with the rising development of business and of mercantile capital these assumed more and more stable form. Thus there developed gradually that comfortable Philistinism that lived only for its material interests... To Rembrandt this bourgeois-national orderliness became the curse of his life. So long as he tried, as he did at first, to satisfy the taste of his unimaginative public, he got along after a fashion. Until the artist in him was aroused!... The artist became a rebel against his time and drew with keen clarity the boundary between his art and the national Philistinism of his land.' (32) Thus in Nationalism And Culture, Rocker reiterates the identification of philistinism and wealth previously made by Arnold in Culture And Anarchy: 'Never did people believe anything more firmly than nine Englishmen out of ten at the present day believe that our greatness and welfare are proved by our being so very rich. Now, the use of culture is that it helps us, by means of its spiritual standard of perfection, to regard wealth as but machinery, and not only to say as a matter of words that we regard wealth as but machinery, but really to perceive and feel that this is so.
Fukano 40.7% ABV is an inclusive bottle found @klwines. Shut the Fukano up. This stuff is awesome. Personally, between the two, I prefer the Flask Wine Edition more because it's sweeter. The Flask Wine edition is like a hot chick who's funny, but she can't stimulate you intellectually by talking about The Law of Thermodynamics. You boys will be like, "She's rad. I definitely wanna get to know her middle name AND cuddle with this hottie. The K n L bottling is much more complex in the sense that she knows how to school you on covalent bonds and can quote Thomas Pynchon's "Entropy." However, she might not take the time to brush her hair and doesn't have a set of perky boobs and ass. And that's cool cuz flat-chested ladies and saggy buns need loving, too, but you like her cuz she's cute and funny as well. Don't expect her to button her sweater correctly. Chances are, the lining between the button hole and button is 1-off because she's too busy analyzing Kenzaburo Oe's "A Personal Matter". This expression is dryer than Flask Wines, but it's incredibly dense. It's more oak-forward and just a hair bitter than the Flask expression. The tannins and red fruits definitely dominate the playing field. On the finish it makes your mouth bone-dry. It's like someone jammed cotton into my mouth, took away my water bottle and said, "Tough titties, I hope you die from dehydration!" Grape juice is present on the finish that leads to almond croissant paste. There's a bit of grassiness that reminds me of Stronachie (minus the smoke), but the grape juice is present like an old expression of Glen Grants made in the 70's. In some ways it's a bit floral like some Marie Duffau's Bas-Armagnac. Again, it's floral, dry, and oak-fowrard. So, in terms of it being oak forward, it reminds me of eating Black Walnut Ice Cream from Baskin Robbins, but someone sprinkled a touch of lavender over it.
No, Mr. Beck, Our Constitution is Not Based on the Book of Deuteronomy Chris Rodda print page Thu Apr 24, 2014 at 05:27:51 PM EST Kyle Mantyla at Right Wing Watch reports that "On today's radio broadcast, Glenn Beck went full David Barton, claiming that one-third of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence came straight out of the Bible; more specifically, right out of the Book of Deuteronomy." He also wrote this claim is "pure Barton bunk, as Chris Rodda explained back when Barton made this claim on Beck's program in 2010." Below is a reprise of Rodda's post of July 7, 2010. -- FC This installment of my series debunking the American history lies told on Glenn Beck is about a study published in 1984 in The American Political Science Review, and how that study is misrepresented to make it appear that our founding documents were based on the Bible, especially the Book of Deuteronomy. (Note: This is part four of an ongoing video series. I would normally provide links to the previous installments, but Vimeo has removed my videos, citing copyright issues, although these videos were well within the limits of "fair use.") UPDATE: The issue with Vimeo has been resolved. They promptly reviewed my videos and have restored the ones that were removed. I will be updating everything and adding links to the previous installments as soon as possible. Here's the transcript of what I said in the video, for those who can't watch videos at work, or have slow connections: The study referred to by Beck and Barton was conducted by Donald S. Lutz of the University of Houston. Lutz published his findings in a 1984 article in The American Political Science Review, and misrepresentations of it began appearing a few years later. The first one was in John Eidsmoe's 1987 book Christianity and the Constitution, which was soon followed by the version most often seen today -- the one created by David Barton in his 1988 book The Myth of Separation. What revisionists like Barton typically do to distort this study is to accurately present some of the charts of the study's findings, but omit the parts of Lutz's explanations of these findings that explain what the numbers in the charts actually mean. That way they can just replace the real explanations with whatever they want their followers to think the numbers mean.
Empathy is communicated through both verbal and nonverbal behaviors [51], though the power of nonverbal communication of empathy may be underestimated, as nonverbal behavior can communicate emotional states subtly [52] and automatically [53]. Further, the literature on “thin slicing,” demonstrates that we rapidly make judgments of others [54, 55]. In medical education, emphasis has traditionally been placed on training clinicians in verbal communication [56], with relatively little attention paid to nonverbal communication [57, 58]. The nonverbal behavior literature provides widespread support for the claim that good nonverbal behavior is crucial to patient-centered care in medicine [59, 60], and identifies a number of specific nonverbal behaviors that influence patients’ perceptions of clinicians [58, 61–63]. For example, open body posture (uncrossed arms), eye contact, smiling, and touch express positive affect, involvement, availability, attention, warmth, encouragement, respect, understanding, empathy, and affiliation with the patient [56, 58, 64–68]. Further, nonverbal communication is also related to positive health outcomes, such as increased pain tolerance [69]. In medical practice, humanistic concern for patient well-being—which can be expressed via these nonverbal behaviors—drives the standard of care forward and incentives for quality care have grown as healthcare reimbursement from third-party payers is now often tied to patient satisfaction surveys [64, 70]. There is relatively less research on nonverbal communication of clinician competence in general [71], and perceptions of the white coat in particular [72]. Because there is a growing debate about the effects of the white coat [68, 73–79], we thought manipulating its presence would be a particularly interesting test of the nonverbal communication of competence.
NEW DELHI: Pakistan's pro-US tilt is the direct result of its "fear of India," says one of the thousands of documents the Central Intelligence Agency CIA ) released earlier this month. "Pakistan's pro-Western orientation stems from her fear of India and USSR rather than any basic sympathy with capitalism or Christian civilisation. It is more negative than positive," an undated CIA document says. It adds that Pakistan at the time wasn't particularly pleased with the US. "Pakistan is likely to continue basically pro-Western, despite annoyance at the US part in the UN handling of Kashmir and at the US position on North Africa in the UN", the document says.A 1983 document also talks of Pakistan's obsession with India. "Pakistan believes India has never accepted its independent existence and it wants to make it a weak buffer state under Indian hegemony. Islamabad is particularly concerned that India and the Soviets will cooperate to impose their demands on Pakistan," says the document from September 1983.That same document talks of India's concerns about Pakistan-China closeness, US military assistance to Pakistan and interference in peace over the Indian Ocean - all concerns that hold good to this day, a whole 34 years later. "India views Pakistan's strong ties with China with alarm and charges that Pakistan is using the Afghanistan crisis to strengthen itself against India. It opposes US weapons assistance to Pakistan and wants to maintain the Indian ocean area free of superpower rivalry," the 1983 document says.As for India, a 1972 CIA document says the intelligence agency believed that Indians had a very real sense of "inferiority". "In order to offset the fear that they really may be inferior, however, Indians are often so defensive - touchy and sensitive - that they appear to be offensive, that is assertive, vain, and arrogant," says the document. It then talks of India's "crushing victory over Pakistan" in the December 1971 war. "National achievements, especially the crushing victory over Pakistan in December 1971 and the apparent ability to create a nuclear weapon, have tended to buoy self-confidence, but euphoria is transient and the feelings of national inferiority are deeply imbedded," the document says.
3.2 Depressive‐ and anxiety‐like behavior is not altered by AD The forced swim test (FST) was utilized to determine if AD impacts depressive‐like behavior. On Day 1, all mice had comparable immobility times (data not shown). On Day 2, while there was a significant effect of Age, there was no effect of Genotype or of the Genotype × Age interaction (Figure 2a–c). Average immobility time for minutes 3–6 on Day 2 was comparable for Ctrl and AD mice (Figure 2d–f). Figure 2 Open in figure viewerPowerPoint Depressive‐ and anxiety‐like behavior is not altered in AD mice. (a–c) Ctrl and AD mice had similar levels of immobility time on Day 2 of the FST. (d–f) Ctrl and AD mice had similar levels of average immobility time for min 3–6 on Day 2 of the FST. (g–i) In the OF, Genotype did not impact basic movements at 2, 4, or 6 months of age. (j–l) Neither Genotype nor Age impacted the distance traveled in the center over total distance traveled. (m–o) Ctrl and AD mice spent more time in the closed arms of the EPM at all ages tested, except for the AD group at 6 months of age. (p–r) For the NSF test, neither Genotype nor Age impacted the latency to eat a pellet. (s–u) Ctrl and AD mice had comparable body weights at all ages measured. (v–x) Ctrl and AD mice had comparable percentage of body weight loss. (y–aa) Ctrl and AD mice ate similar amounts of food in the home cage following the NSF (n = 6–13 male mice per group). Error bars represent ± SEM. p < .05; p < .01; **p < .001. FST, forced swim test; OF, open field; EPM, elevated plus maze; NSF, novelty suppressed feeding; Avg, average; min, minutes; s, seconds; Ctrl, control; AD, Alzheimer's disease; g, gram; %, percent; cm, centimeter Next, the open field (OF), elevated plus maze (EPM), and novelty suppressed feeding (NSF) tests were administered to assess the impact of AD on anxiety‐related behaviors. During the OF, basic movements were not affected by Age or Genotype (Figure 2g–i). All mice traveled similar distances in the center (Figure 2j–l). In the EPM, all mice, with the exception of 6‐month‐old AD mice, spent significantly more time in the closed arms than in the open arms (Figure 2m–o). In the NSF paradigm, all groups showed similar latencies to approach the pellet before the maximum allotted time of 8 min (Figure 2p–r).
