Either way this turns out it will likely cause you some public embarrassment on Wikipedia at least, but I hope you choose the least contentious option and disclose your misconduct.

Max walked away from the beach, and passed the waves towards the horizon, lying on his surfboard. A wave, another wave… ever bigger, ever stronger. Receiving water slaps in the face, violent sea bursts, but Max loved that fight against the ocean, that body to body intensity… then he would stand on the board, keeping the legs bent, arms outstretched, body and mind alert and feeling the power of the waves that came from afar, wide and huge, to lift him and throw him back to shore like a wisp of straw. He always ended up falling but returned back as far as possible, to take a new wave and try his luck again. The main beach of Biarritz offered sunbathing for the Toussaint holidays. There were people, almost as many as in summer, few bathers but of course surfers in wetsuits, sportsmen playing beach volleyball, some ran the waterfront along the beach, others who were collecting shells and those who simply observed others. Max finally had had enough and decided to return his board and surfing combination back to the surfing shack. The young employee who handled the leasing of equipment had discussed with him for a bit. Max spoke to him in English and the other was pleased to show that he was capable of responding. “Where are you from?” he finally asked. “Manhattan” had chosen Max. This was followed by a talk about the beaches of Long Island, where Max had sometimes surfed and both concluded that nothing was as valuable as the waves of Biarritz. And then Max advanced back towards the beach, hesitating to go for a coffee drink at the beach casino, but finally decided to drop on the sand. After two hours of intensive sport, he willingly lay down under the mild autumn sun, the eyes closed, listening to the sound of people around him. After a half hour, the whistles of lifeguards had forced him to open his eyes. Two rescuers threw themselves into the water and the whole beach was frozen standing to watch the event.

Close your fists already, and leave the gloves alone.Marc Ratner came out earlier this week talking about changes to the Unified Rules when it comes to eye pokes saying "what we want the referees to do is don't make a medical decision" and I like the direction he is taking; but the reality is that in the moment anything can happen as we saw on Saturday night. What could reduce the prominence? Stop doing it.This is the most immediate danger to fighter safety in the UFC today. I think that the gloves obviously need to be redesigned. How? I have no idea, but it needs to be addressed quickly. The new glove needs to prevent the fingers from being inserted into the opponents eyes while still giving ability to grab on will enough to take someone down. I have a feeling if a better idea was out there it would already have been implemented.Joe Rogan always brings up the open finger gloves up anytime there is an eye poke and it's hard to argue with him. He's right in that something needs to be done with the gloves and how the fingers sit in them. It'll take some company to come up with a design that'll work in the MMA setting, as it'll continue to happen until the gloves change.It's a shame it has taken an event like UFC 159 to demand a change - because this problem should have been addressed ages ago. In no way, shape, or form should any referee be allowed to stop a fight in the way Kevin Mulhall did last weekend. It's inevitable that certain eye pokes are going to restrict a fighter's vision literally seconds after it happened. That outcome was plain stupid - even if he was going by the rules.Eye pokes should be treated like a groin shot with the affected fighter given five minutes to continue. Within that timeframe, the appointed doctor - and only the doctor - should be allowed to treat the fighter and ultimately stop the fight if required. Much like a groin shot, it's very rare that the fighter will need the allotted five minutes to recover or a doctor to say he can't continue.During any eye poke stoppage, every arena has multiple viewing screens to replay controversial incidents. This will allow the referee to view it (several times if necessary) and make a judgement on whether it was intentional or not.

He went up to his room where his phone was and switched the light on. "Hello there Luca." Tyler said in a rather calm tone, sitting on a chair behind Luca, playing with his Yankees cap. T he rooster tried to move, only to find the barrel of a gun, his gun, pointed against his head. "Or was it Hans? Its kinda hard to remember both. Jeez... those pants aren't very comfy with your girlfriend's brain all over them" "You.... You fucking pathetic piece of shit." Luca cried in a mix of rage and depression, raising his hands as he did. "Pathetic? PATHETIC?! OH, says the one who sent a hitman after me. Yeah, real pathetic Luca." "You know what is pathetic? You fucking thinking about getting away with her death on your mind" Tyler whacked Luca with the the gun. "Now, you're gonna-" Luca pounced the badger before he could begin his sentence. "You're fucking going to pay for this!" Luca yelled, as he struggled on the floor for the pistol. Luca smashed the mirror beside him, grabbed one of the many glass shards and stabbed Tyler multiple times in his shot leg. Tyler cried in agony. Luca choked Tyler with one hand while trying to get the pistol off of him, to which Tyler responded with punching Luca in the face. Luca's grip tightened and he began whacking the back of Tyler's head against the wooden floor beneath them. "YOU" Whack "WILL" Whack "FUCKING" Whack "DIE" Whack Before Luca could finish Tyler off several bullets flew through the window, one hitting Luca's leg. He let go of Tyler, which now was holding his head in agony. He grabbed Tyler's gun before running to the window and returning fire on the Russians that now stood on his porch "Fucking hell they're here. They fucking found me." Tyler looked at Luca in confusion, but not for long as a loud bang was heard and the front door was kicked down. Russians stormed the building. Luca tried to shoot several of them but... "Click" ... Empty "Got you now you fuck." One of the three Russians now standing in his room said. "Both, follow. Any funny moves and you're done for." Tyler slowly got up and Luca dropped the gun. "Got a nice home rat. Eh?" One of the Russians commented as they walked down the stairs. ... Snap.

The capstone - The capstone for the Gavrinis passage mound (centre section, diagram left), was found to have engravings on the upper, hidden face, which matched the carvings found on the capstone at nearby La Table des Marchands (bottom section, diagram left). It is now known that these two stones and the capstone from Er-Grah tumulus (upper section, diagram left) are actually fragments of a larger stone, which was itself once a part of a construction dating from 4,000 BC, (probably including Le Grande menhir Bris é ). We can assume from this that Gavrinis is contemporary with both La Table des Marchands, and the Er-Grah tumulus, an idea which is supported by radio-carbon dating. The large scale re-use of pre-existing monuments is indicative of a shift in politics or religious thinking, and it is perhaps no coincidence that this date (3,300 - 3,100 BC), is the same ascribed to the monuments of the Boyne-Valley, in Ireland, along with Stonehenge I, Avebury/Silbury, and several other significant monuments in France and the British isles. (More about the re-use of the Lochmariarcer menhirs) The Engravings: The walls consist of 12 pillars on the north-east side and 11 pillars on the south-west side (two of which are quartz - i.e. No 11). From a total number of 29 stones, 23 are engraved. From left to right: Stones 8 and 9. From left to right: Stones 16, 18 (from inside the chamber) and 21 The following photos are from Gavrinis and Newgrange (Ireland). These kerbstone on the right has often been said to demonstrate a connection between the two sites. Combined with the fact that they are both orientated in the same direction and that they were built at the same time, there does indeed seem to be an argument in favour of contact between the builders of the megaliths at Carnac (c. 3,300 - 3,100 BC) and those of the passage mounds in Ireland (at the same period of time) While there is a similarity in design - For example, between Gavr'inis (stone 9) and the Kerbstone (K52) (right), at the rear of Newgrange, the two styles also have noticeable differences. Note: The three holes as at stone 18, above.

"The American economy continues to falter and Canadians and Ontarians continue to pay a price," McGuinty told reporters at a Liberal caucus meeting here. "I think it's important to keep in mind that the number's even larger in terms of who's affected by this," he said. "If a family loses a job, not only does it affect the mum or the dad, but it affects the spouse or the kids and then there's a heightened sense of anxiety among all those who have not lost their job." Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan said unemployment data was as bad as the provincial government had feared "We expected this. They're obviously deeply troubling," Duncan said. "It reminds us just us how deep this global crisis is and calls on us to redouble our efforts as we move forward," he said. Duncan, who is readying a budget to be tabled within the next four weeks, said he is expecting "quite a dramatic decline" in corporate tax revenues, which will affect the government's planning. Statistics Canada said the manufacturing sector that is centred in Ontario and Quebec dropped 101,000 jobs in January, the worst decline ever recorded. The employment declines were most pronounced in vehicle manufacturing. But layoffs were widespread, including in furniture, computer and electronics, non-metallic mineral products, electrical equipment and clothing production. "I can't see one glimmer of hope in this report when we dig beneath the headlines," said Derek Holt, economist at Scotia Capital. "The optimists are just taking body blows all over the place here," he said. The monthly drop in employment, far worse than expected, single-handedly wiped out the net job gain in 2008 of less than 100,000. Canada has shed 213,000 jobs since October. Analysts in a Reuters poll had forecast a job loss of 40,000 and an unemployment rate of 6.8 per cent. The monthly decline was also bigger than any seen in the previous economic troughs of the 1980s and 1990s, Statscan said. That raised fears this recession will be deeper and more protracted than policy-makers have predicted and that the Bank of Canada will be compelled to cut rates further from their 50-year low of 1 percent. "Everybody is prepared for a pretty weak first quarter, but these numbers are probably surprising the more bearish views," said Craig Wright, chief economist at the Royal Bank of Canada.

T he story of wildland fire has been told in numerous forums and formats. It is told through the history of our land management policies, commencing when the nation transitioned from indigenous fire use practices to colonial burning for land clearing. It’s told through the media, with seasonal coverage often shrouded in hype mixed with facts. It’s told through the rings of trees, marking cyclic fire regimes in circular regularity. It’s also told by those living in fire-prone ecosystems, in the creation of defensible space around their homes. What I find interesting is that the story of wildland fire has its own vernacular — formed in the same way fire burns, with a beautiful complexity and frank purpose; it responds to its setting and creates change as it develops. The Smokey Generation is a project that is rooted in understanding and celebrating that vernacular (and the wildland fire community that surrounds it) through the collection, preservation, and sharing of stories about wildland fire by wildland firefighters themselves. It’s a project that values the history of fire and, at its core, is designed to get us talking about the importance of fire in the environment. he story of wildland fire has been told in numerous forums and formats.

Finnish black metal band SATANIC WARMASTER has been removed from the French Hellfest festival (held in Clisson, France in July 2011) because of pressure from other artists performing at the festival. SATANIC WARMASTER has made the following statement due to the decision of the Hellfest organizers:”It has been brough to my attention, that the organizers of the festival cannot hold on to our agreement to have SATANIC WARMASTER perform at the 2011 Hellfest. This was because of pressure put to the organizers by other artists booked on the festival.”It is a disappointment (despite being totally expected) to see such mentality still present in the ’individualist’ and ’free-thinking’ metal community that any musical act can still be boycotted because of false preconceptions and arbitrary political motivations of other, ’bigger’ artists. It is also more than amusing to see that the censorship and boycott some of the French authorities tried to push on the festival earlier are now excercised by the festival organization itself.”Obviously because I have never upheld any modern taboos or lived my life as an apologetic dabbler, it makes me also a target for politically motivated artists to keep us from playing because of their self-righteous reasons. Any artist can be put on a mock trial by taking words out of their context without thinking of the actual message, and SATANIC WARMASTER once again hangs crucified by hysterics driven by the love for a world and values I feel no oneness with.”Everyone who has even slightest interest in this musical style knows what black metal is about, and in that light only a moralist or someone with a very extreme double standard can say that SATANIC WARMASTER is in some manner different from other artists of the genre.”It makes me want to puke for making a statement like this, which is almost something that a politician would do, but to clear some things, it was mandatory to bite the bullet this time.”Just to make sure everyone has their labels right, SATANIC WARMASTER's ideology is Satanism and music style black metal. Whoever claims otherwise does so only because of personal feelings and/or resentment.-Werwolf / SATANIC WARMASTER”SATANIC WARMASTER is a Finnish black metal musical project started in 1998 with tens of thousands of sold albums worldwide without the support of any major distribution companies or record labels. The band reflects a Satanist's world view and is known for its unapologetic, arrogant and amoral stance.

Crib sheet: Definition as obfuscation. Misdefinition of science to exclude all indirect inference (although even Young Earth creationists accept the fact of an Ice Age on geological evidence). Macroevolution, if the word means anything, means major change, and this takes more time than we have been watching. So of course we’ve never seen it. Similar fossils do indeed imply similar ages, but the order of these ages has been known for nearly 200 years on the basis of stratigraphy, and absolute ages established for over 100 years now by radiometric dating. Polystrate fossils were explained in 1868; the explanation is much the same today. New Scientist really did point out in 1997 that it is silly to carry on using Haeckel’s highly questionable drawings, as some still do, when we now have a much more detailed information. But, as explained in Alice Roberts’s Incredible Unlikeliness of Being and many other places, the gill folds on the human embryo really are homologous to the folds on that of a fish. They just develop rather differently, explaining such oddities as the tortuous path of our vagus nerves. As for the whale’s pelvis having “nothing to do with walking on land”, by 1999 we already had extensive series of fossils linking whales to their terrestrial ancestors; there is an excellent review here by one of the scientists involved in Evolution Education and Outreach (free download), and whales evolution also features in an excellent video here . The development of secondary functions (exaptation) is commonplace. Thus mammals’ ear bones are vestigial relics of reptiles’ rear jawbones. Creationists often argue, as here, that natural selection can only remove, and not add. This riddle was solved 120 years ago, with the discovery of mutation. Mutations supply novelty; selection winnows it. Creationists agree in explaining away pre-modern human fossils, such as Lucy and numerous others already known by 1999, as being either apes, or humans. Unfortunately, they can never agree on which is which. And, something that I think believers in particular should find offensive, the theological absurdities of the final frame.

MUMBAI: RBI relaxed its decree on deposits exceeding Rs 5,000 after an avalanche of complaints from customers who said they had been harassed by bank officials seeking “a satisfactory explanation” for delays in crediting the withdrawn Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. RBI has now said the questioning will only apply to those who haven’t furnished know-your-customer (KYC) documentation.The change is the latest in a series of shifts following the November 8 announcement of demonetisation that appear to suggest policy is being made on the fly, experts said.“On a review of the above (the circular RBI issued on December 19), we advise that the provisions of the above circular at sub para (i) and (ii) will not apply to fully KYC compliant accounts,” RBI said on Wednesday in a notice to banks posted on its website.The clarification was awaited after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had apparently contradicted the central bank’s instruction and said one-time deposits will not face any questioning.Bankers expressed relief that they no longer had to make customers feel like they were guilty of wrongdoing for merely following the government’s advice not to rush to banks as they had time until the December 30 deadline to deposit the old series.“Now the situation has eased for customers as yesterday they had to give a declaration in front of two of our officers,” said Rajnish Kumar, MD of State Bank of India. “Now they just have to go to the single window and deposit money... But I think whatever rush is there it will ease in a few days.”A bank employee concurred that deposits are set to taper off in any case.“Yesterday we saw lot of deposits because I believe some of the customers panicked, but we expect deposits to go down here onwards,” a banker said. “As the final deadline draws closer, our sense is that not much is left to deposit in old notes anyway.”RBI, on December 19, said cash in excess of `5,000 can only be credited once in the days remaining until December 30 and instructed banks to question their customers.“The credit in such cases shall be afforded only after questioning tenderer, on record, in the presence of at least two officials of the bank, as to why this could not be deposited earlier and receiving a satisfactory explanation,” RBI’s December 19 notification said. “The explanation should be kept on record to facilitate an audit trail at a later stage.

Though, having begun season 5 production in January (having written day and night for several months prior), and having had maybe half a dozen days off in all that time, I'm sorely overdue for a vacation.Hopefully this relative downtime means I can post some more updates on here in the next month or so, as we get closer to the release of the Halloween special and Season 5. Plenty of sweet art to show you, but it must be carefully reviewed for spoiler content.We Love You,JPP.S. Also: thank you to all the adultswim folks who took good care of us while we were in town. And apologies to the ProV folks. I meant to come see your doubtlessly lovely table but had no idea where it was--nobody ever seems to think I might find a convention program or map handy when I come to these things.

We'll be starting by picketing from 11am-noon on Saturdays, but, as more people join our campaign, we'll start adding hours throughout the week (to sign up for a shift, visit: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F094CAEA92DA75-picket). Ultimately, our goal is for there to never be a time when someone can bank at Citizens without first crossing a picket line. Finally, we want to emphasize that our campaign is directed at Citizens Bank, not its employees, who are fellow members of the 99%. As our campaign aims to redirect patronage from Citizens to local credit unions, we call on those credit unions to help ease the transition by extending preferential hiring status to any Citizens Bank employee who loses their job as a result of this action. Too Big to Fail is too big for Burlington. By working together, we can achieve a financial system that serves our community rather than plundering it. Citizens Bank is Closing!

The people who inhabit it have such radically different experiences in life that it can be almost surprising that they share the same air. This is inherently hard to accept from a distance. Too often we have a view of what is desirable for some other part of the world which is so detached from daily existence there that it becomes counterproductive, or even inhumane. Alang is a typical case. Resentful Indians kept saying to me, "You had your industrial revolution, and so we should have ours." I kept suggesting in return that history is not so symmetrical. But of course they knew that already, and viewed Alang with more complexity than they could express to me, and were using a simplified argument they felt I might understand. On the ship-scrapping beach at Chittagong, in Bangladesh, I met an angry man who took the simplest approach. He said, "You are sitting on top of the World Trade Center, sniffing fresh air, and talking about it. You don't know anything." He was angry about the West's presumptuousness and its strength. He was angry about people like Claire Tielens, at Greenpeace. When I talked to Tielens in Amsterdam, she was unyielding about Greenpeace's demands. She said, "Ships should not be scrapped in Asia unless they are decontaminated and they don't contain toxic materials. New ships should be built in such a way that they can be scrapped safely -- so without hazardous materials if possible. The export of toxin-containing ships from Western countries to developing countries should be stopped. And if possible, ships should be cleaned throughout their lifetime. If they export clean steel, that's fine with us." I said, "But ships will always contain toxic wastes. Is it economically possible to ..." "'Economically'? Well, of course that's a very flexible term." I thought the economics might be less flexible than she believed. One of the twists in this story is that the U.S. government, an entity that Greenpeace has a prerogative to dislike, has become without question the world's most principled shipowner, and as such is leading the way in establishing the real costs of doing things right. I spent an afternoon last winter at an anchorage run by the Maritime Administration on the James River in Virginia, climbing through floating wrecks among the ever-growing number of government derelicts awaiting a proper domestic disposal. On one ship a workman had painted SINK ME! as a way of tempting fate.

Don't be fooled by the Yelp $$ meaning $11-30 Moderate. This is more like fine dining tapas. Tapas are basically small Spaniard dishes, the best way I explain it to people is... Tapas are like Dim sum small dishes. Usually people get it after that Location 5/5: Great location, even on a Friday night on Main Street in Santa Monica literally minutes away from the pier and the beach. The street wasn't packed. There was lots to do and lots to eat from Vegan Thai food to live bands. The street was lit up with something like Christmas white lights. Gave it a real urban down town feel. I loved the community garden. Food 3/5: I tried varies dishes all priced from $9+ but remember their really small dishes so about 2 1/2 dishes would fill me up. My boyfriend took about 3 1/2 dishes. With drinks our bill came out to about $110. A little pricy for decent tapas. I felt that it wasn't really Spaniard. More like Asian/ Indonesian inspired tapas. - Stuffed Mushrooms: was surprisingly delicious. It doesn't even look like a mushroom it looks like a brownie with marshmallows on top. The goat cheese and mint leaves complimented the soft crumble texture of the mushroom. - Calamari: was delicious, I usually don't like ordering calamari but my boyfriend did and it was perfectly crispy and juicy. - **Chicken Tikki** skewers were my favorite tapas. The mint sauce isn't what you think it is trust me best tapas in the place. - Chocolate panna cotta: Very delicious more like a mousse with strawberry sauce on top. Think of chocolate and strawberries. - Baby back ribs: very delicious, the meat practically falls off the bone. I couldn't pin point what kind of dipping sauce it came with. Tasted like sweet and sour sauce with ketchup? I have no idea just that it was delicious. - The famous duck wraps: were a mouth full I loved the green onion and using the lettuce as a scooper. Drinks: 3/5 Most of the wine, beers, and draft beers I haven't heard of any so our waiter suggested a wine. I love red wine so I had a glass of one hope Cabernet. It was definitely delicious with a nice crisp. A little bitter but I like bitter.

After the film's release and unusually strong box office performance over its first two weeks, it was debated as the one film capable of surpassing Titanic's worldwide gross, and its continued strength perplexed box office analysts. [218] Other films in recent years had been cited as contenders for surpassing Titanic, such as 2008's The Dark Knight,[219] but Avatar was considered the first film with a genuine chance to do so, and its numbers being aided by higher ticket prices for 3D screenings[218] did not fully explain its success to box office analysts. "Most films are considered to be healthy if they manage anything less than a 50% drop from their first weekend to their second. Dipping just 11% from the first to the third is unheard of," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office analysis for Hollywood.com. "This is just unprecedented. I had to do a double take. I thought it was a miscalculation. "[173] Analysts predicted second place for the film's worldwide gross, but most were uncertain about it surpassing Titanic because "Today's films flame out much faster than they did when Titanic was released. "[173] Brandon Gray, president of Box Office Mojo, believed in the film's chances of becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, though he also believed it was too early to surmise because it had only played during the holidays. He said, "While Avatar may beat Titanic's record, it will be tough, and the film is unlikely to surpass Titanic in attendance. Ticket prices were about $3 cheaper in the late 1990s. "[173] Cameron said he did not think it was realistic to "try to topple Titanic off its perch" because it "just struck some kind of chord" and there had been other good films in recent years. [220] He changed his prediction by mid-January. "It's gonna happen. It's just a matter of time," he said. [221]

Yay, I'm uploading things again and drawing in general. That's always good, because I need to draw more if I expect to get any better at all :3Anyways, short entry here.After uploading a forgotten piece, I've gone through and done some cleaning out of my gallery. Many featured deviations were moved into my scrapbook, and a handful of them I deleted outright for 1) a lack of views and 2) a lack of any objective relevance/skill. At the moment I'm just going to let the scrapbook be a scrapbook and become an archive, more or less, of older submissions, but don't be surprised if some of them end up being deleted at a time shortly in the future.Then again, why am I making this journal entry and announcing this stuff? What does it matter anyways; who pays attention to what I have to say, much less the less-attractive scraps I've drawn? :V (Seriously... I've made a grand total of four journal entries since 2006, this journal included. o_O)Well... I guess to end this, I wanna do a shout out and call-out to see who's actually watching me, in an attempt to connect more with other artistic friends! I've got much love to my friends from FusionFall ( and especially ) for helping to keep the dying embers of my artistic interest alive, leading me to eventually pick up my pencil once more and even try my hand more at digital color.It's my thoughts that if I connect with those other friends I know from DA (that I don't already talk with from time to time, like the super-cool ), then, through talking with other artists, I can keep stoking these creative embers. It's true that there's much I'd like to do, but it gets discouraging when I have nobody to show my drawings to~...oh great. In the turning off of the television when nothing's on between 9 and 11 pm (roughly), I've now gone and missed the new Venture Brothers episode premiere. Again! Oh, I do so hate having to stay up to watch them, but otherwise they don't seem to show reruns when they're convenien~t. (I'm supposed to be working on getting to sleep earlier and waking up earlier to get into a more productive routine, but between this late-night must-watch premieres and being super-slow on coloring pictures until late at night....I'm not making much progress >< )

All names are being considered, but if it’s not Lois Lane, does it really matter all that much? Since it’s not Lois we know that whoever they cast will only be in one movie, to be instantly ignored and forgotten in the sequel whenever Lois finally does show up to take her rightful place in Superman’s life. At least this story led you to a really nice Alice Eve photo. You’re welcome. Blended From Around The Web Facebook

In the study "sleepwalking and sleep terrors in prepubertal children", it was found that, if a child had another sleep disorder such as restless leg syndrome (RLS) or sleep-disorder breathing (SDB), there was a greater chance of sleepwalking. The study found that children with chronic parasomnias may often also present SDB or, to a lesser extent, RLS. Furthermore, the disappearance of the parasomnias after the treatment of the SDB or RLS periodic limb movement syndrome suggests that the latter may trigger the former. The high frequency of SDB in family members of children with parasomnia provided additional evidence that SDB may manifest as parasomnias in children. Children with parasomnias are not systematically monitored during sleep, although past studies have suggested that patients with sleep terrors or sleepwalking have an elevated level of brief EEG arousals. When children receive polysomnographies, discrete patterns (e.g., nasal flow limitation, abnormal respiratory effort, bursts of high or slow EEG frequencies) should be sought; apneas are rarely found in children. Children's respiration during sleep should be monitored with nasal cannula/pressure transducer system and/or esophageal manometry, which are more sensitive than the thermistors or thermocouples currently used in many laboratories. The clear, prompt improvement of severe parasomnia in children who are treated for SDB, as defined here, provides important evidence that subtle SDB can have substantial health-related significance. Also noteworthy is the report of familial presence of parasomnia. Studies of twin cohorts and families with sleep terror and sleepwalking suggest genetic involvement of parasomnias. RLS and SDB have been shown to have familial recurrence. RLS has been shown to have genetic involvement. [23]

You can do a lot within that little box and now weve made three, four records; well probably make three or four more.Once I got on the path with Peeping Tom, I realized, ok this is what this project is and this is what its going to be. A lot of times you figure it out as you go along just like life. The longer we live the clearer some things become. With Peeping Tom, like I said before, I realized I wanted to keep everything in a fairly linear song format and that automatically eliminates a lot of extracurricular activities. With Tomahawk thats a whole other beast, thats a whole other universe. Thats more of a traditional rock band but it all starts with Duane Denison, the guitar player. Its his baby, he writes the tunes. My role is much different in there. Im the facilitator so I help him flesh out the tunes and arrange things. Whether I set out to do this or not, each project ends up being its own little world where certain things can happen and other things are impossible.The original movie Peeping Tom is one of my favorite films. Its got this great line, All this filming. It's not healthy.Yeah, they told me you were a film buff and that youd know some lines in that movie.I love that movie so much [laughs].Good man.Did you ever think that what you were doing, maybe unhealthy isnt the right word, but some people would consider the music unhealthy.Well, whatever. Theres a danger in anything that is unfamiliar. Thats the world we live in. People want to be reminded and patted on the back; they want to be told things they already know. Were constantly being fed images and being told what to like and what is good and for the most part, I think people enjoy living that way. It takes a lot of the thinking out of it. Everywhere you look theres someone doing your thinking for you and telling you what to think and when to think of it. So even though this Peeping Tom record, to me, sounds fairly linear, in my universe this is pop music, this is groove music, whatever you want to call it. This is my romantic soul music for crying out loud. What that means in the real world is quite beyond me.

With installment plans introduced in US, given increased flexibility for people to upgrade faster, would you expect that and do you see any evidence of that impacting business? US iPhone part could be a big catalyst for iPhone business going forward. : A: If you look at growth rates, year over year, comparing 5c to last year's 4s, growth in that sector was highest growth during quarter we just finished, of the three tiers. We're extremely happy with how it performed last quarter. : Q: Three tiers of iPhones. Would you break out more detail on 5c in mid-tier, continue to find in US that it's falling as percentage of business. What do you expect? : A: VAT was increased from 5% to 8% close to beginning of the quarter. That was first planned VAT increase, at least one additional planned increase in the future. Part of overall tax reform package in Japan. Carriers received some guidance from regulators to essentially stop incenting people to transfer from another carrier at a higher amount than they were retaining their own customers. Appears that the combination of these two things dampened the whole market for smartphones in Japan. We haven't been able to get very detailed data on share but my expectation is we won't see very much of a share change. We're beginning to see some coming back of that market as we step into this quarter. Not back to level that it was previously but we can see the market growing again which we view as very positive. In the past when we've seen these type of things, tax changes etc, there are usually a rush to buy before the tax increase, a pause that happens thereafter, and then the market goes back to some type of steady state that may not be exactly where it was but it nears it. Likely that's what happens on VAT side. Other piece is harder to conclude in terms of guidance. I don't know that part. : Q: Japan was fairly flat due to regulations do to currency and taxes. Comment? : A: Theory that you have is not precisely correct. If I look at Europe, the operating segments of Europe for year to date for 2014 vs same period last year, iPhone units were up 10%.

Who will help me against a man who has hurt me by slandering my family? By Allah, I know nothing except good about my family, and people have blamed a man of whom I know nothing except good, and he never used to visit my family except with me,” Sa`d bin Mu`adh Al-Ansari got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, I will relieve you from him. If he be from the tribe of (Bani) Al-Aus, then I will chop his head off; and if he be from our brethren, the Khazraj, then you give us your order and we will obey it.” On that, Sa`d bin ‘Ubada got up, and he was the chief of the Khazraj, and before this incident he had been a pious man but he was incited by his zeal for his tribe. He said to Sa`d (bin Mu`adh), “By Allah the Eternal, you have told a lie! You shall not kill him and you will never be able to kill him!” On that, Usaid bin Hudair, the cousin of Sa`d (bin Mu`adh) got up and said to Sa`d bin ‘Ubada, “You are a liar! By Allah the Eternal, we will surely kill him; and you are a hypocrite defending the hypocrites!” So the two tribes of Al-Aus and Al-Khazraj got excited till they were on the point of fighting with each other while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was standing on the pulpit. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) continued quietening them till they became silent whereupon he became silent too. On that day I kept on weeping so much that neither did my tears stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me, and I had wept for two nights and a day without sleeping and with incessant tears till they thought that my liver would burst with weeping. While they were with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked permission to see me. I admitted her and she sat and started weeping with me. While I was in that state, Allah’s Apostle came to us, greeted, and sat down,. He had never sat with me since the day what was said, was said. He had stayed a month without receiving any Divine Inspiration concerning my case. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) recited the Tashahhud after he had sat down, and then said, “Thereafter, O `Aisha!

LC Damarious Randall (26) started ahead of Quinten Rollins (23), with mainstay LaDarius Gunter (66) at RC and Micah Hyde (66) in the slot. Randall was in and out with a knee problem; Rollins suffered a neck injury late in the third quarter. There’s no telling if the coaches would have had enough confidence to play rookie CB Makinton Dorleant; he departed with a knee injury. It was a mess but to the rescue rode Morgan Burnett (66), the old standby. When Hyde moved outside, Burnett manned up against wideouts inside. He did the job, too. When Burnett played extensively at ILB early, Zenner carried eight times for 43 yards. There’s a price to be paid for playing him across from 300-pounders. But Burnett’s rare versatility – he played SS, ILB, nickel, dime – helped save a thin secondary. Randall kept trying to go but wasn’t effective. Neither was Rollins, who just isn’t very aware, physical or fast. Hyde made a textbook interception of a back-shoulder pass at the 1 to Tate. The official let the contact go because both players were grabby. Stafford got after Gunter with some success early but he held up better as the game went on. It was a down day for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (66). On third and 15, it’s his job to be wide enough so he can get over the top and defend the 35-yard sideline completion to TJ Jones. He was caught setting up late twice by Stafford and the results were easy completions in the flat. He got beat in man coverage by TE Eric Ebron on a goal-line slant. The communication was poor between Hyde and Randall on Tate’s 3-yard TD. Earlier, Hyde closed well on the Lions’ trademark flat pass inside the 5 to Anquan Boldin. Gunter, Burnett and SS Marwin Evans (12) were right there when Boldin seized the 35-yard TD on a Hail Mary. Playing a season-high 49 snaps, Kentrell Brice showed deficiencies in coverage.

The burden is on the attacker to take all feasible precautions to ensure that a target is a combatant before conducting an attack and to minimize civilian harm. Had AQAP members deliberately joined the wedding procession to avoid attack they would have been committing the laws-of-war violation of using “human shields.” AQAP shielding would not, however, justify an indiscriminate or disproportionate attack by US forces. The United States should carry out a prompt, impartial and transparent investigation into the attack, hold those responsible to account for any wrongdoing, and provide appropriate compensation. US officials speaking on condition of anonymity told media they are investigating the incident, but Human Rights Watch has found no evidence of an inquiry. The December 12 attack also raises serious questions as to whether US forces are complying with the policy requirements on targeted killings that President Barack Obama outlined in May 2013. Before any such strike, the president said, the United States must have “near-certainty” that no civilians will be harmed. In refusing to acknowledge any role in the strike, the United States has also failed to demonstrate that the alleged target was present, could not feasibly have been arrested, or posed a “continuing and imminent threat”—three other US policy requirements. Rather than instilling confidence that its attacks are lawful and adhere to US policy, the silence of the Obama administration on strikes such as the one on the December 12 wedding procession instead magnifies the concerns. The failure to publicly acknowledge and investigate attacks causing civilian casualties not only violates the international legal obligations of the United States, it also shows an unwillingness to address the harms inflicted on Yemen’s civilian population.

I get phases where I'm seeing 33 instead of 333. I'm surrounded by the number 33 as it is, the 33 bus goes by my house. Someone decided to paint 33 on most of the slots in a carpark outside my house. When I add up the numbers of my birthdate, they add up to 33. I've made threads about this in the past, it comes and goes in phases. Its back again, now its 333 not 33. Been seeing it for the past few days. Just saw it there a couple of minutes ago so took a screenshot:^^ Coincidentally, when I stopped to take the screenshot, it was 3:34 minutes into the video.I first started seeing it in a psychotic episode. I thought it was a negative omen at the time. I heard from a numerologist that its the number of spiritual awakening, which would make sense in my case since thats what that psychotic episode did to me. I was bombarded by the number during the psychotic episode, and the next day I tried to convince myself that it was just hallucinations/distorted perception but I kept seeing the number. I woke up in sleep paralysis and when I pulled myself out of it, it was exactly 3:33. I woke up needing to take a piss at 3:33 a few nights. I went to the shop at one point (think it was a couple of days after the psychosis) and the change was exactly $3.33. Unlike you, I actually did think there were dark forces at work. The psychotic episode was an unsettling experience to say the least.I've come across other meanings. Its the number of Choronzon, an occult demon described by Aleister Crowley:If you think about it, they coincide. Choronzons function is to destroy the ego which would be followed by ascension of this ego based 3D reality thing. Ascended masters may be souls (or whatever) that have succeeded in destroying their egos through Choronzon. During the psychotic episode, voices in my head were mercilessly tearing into my ego and I felt like I was fighting for my life. This is what happens during DMT ego death. Massive fear kicks in and the body and mind desperately struggle to survive, and you think its you thats about to die, when in reality its just the ego that dies (well I suppose that does mean you die because the ego is the self).

Bl. Titus Brandsma The life of Titus Brandsma began in the quiet countryside of Friesland, Holland, where he was born on February 23, 1881, and ended some sixty years later on July 26, 1942, in the notorious hospital of the Dachau concentration camp. Born Anno Brandsma, he completed high school studies with the Franciscans before entering the Carmelite monastery in Boxmeer in September of 1898, where he adopted his father's name, Titus, as his religious name. During the early years as a Carmelite he showed interest in journalism and writing, two activities which would occupy much of his time later on in life. Titus professed his first vows as a Carmelite in October, 1899, was ordained on June 17, 1905, and after further studies at the Roman Gregorian University, graduated on October 25, 1909 with a doctorate in philosophy. Fr. Titus' entire priestly life was spent in education, although always with a keen pastoral sense of people's needs. He joined the faculty of the newly founded Catholic University of Nijmegen in 1923, and served as Rector Magnificus, or President, of the University in 1932-33. After this time he resumed his teaching duties, and in 1935 made a lecture tour of the Carmelite foundations in the United States. Just before this lecture tour, Archbishop De Jong of Utrecht appointed Fr. Titus as spiritual advisor to the staff members of the more than thirty Catholic newspapers in Holland; around the same time, the policies of Adolf Hitler, the new German Chancellor, began to be felt in Holland, and were openly criticized by Titus in his teaching and in the press. With the Nazi occupation of Holland on May 10, 1940 began the open persecution of the Jews and the active resistance of the Catholic hierarchy, who announced on January 26, 1941 that the sacraments were to be refused to Catholics known to be supporters of the National-Socialist movement. While Titus' involvement with this Catholic resistance to Nazi activity was becoming more blatant, it was the Church's refusal to print Nazi propaganda in their newspapers that sealed his fate. Titus decided to deliver personally to each Catholic editor a letter from the bishops ordering them not to comply with a new law requiring them to print official Nazi publications. He visited fourteen editors before being arrested on January 19, 1942 at the Boxmeer monastery. Fr.

This resulted in a 20% relative reduction in lung cancer mortality in the LDCT arm (95% CI, 6.8% to 26.7%) and an absolute risk reduction of lung cancer death by four per 1,000 individuals screened. Finally, there was a 6.7% reduction in all-cause mortality (95% CI, 1.2% to 13.6%) in the LDCT arm relative to CT. This is the first randomized screening trial to have shown improvements in both disease-specific and all-cause mortality, which indicates that screening resulted in no deleterious downstream effects that contributed to death and, importantly, that the reduced lung cancer mortality observed with LDCT did not result in deaths from competing causes such as cardiovascular disease. Given these data, an estimated 320 individuals needed to be screened to save one life from lung cancer.19 This compares favorably with screening mammography, in which some estimates suggest that 465 to 601 women must be screened to save one life.20,21 Overall, the NLST demonstrated the following: more lung cancers were detected with LDCT than with CXR; a stage shift was observed with LDCT, such that the absolute number of advanced-stage cancers was decreased relative to CXR; there was a 20% relative mortality reduction with LDCT compared with CXR, amounting to an absolute risk reduction of four individuals per 1,000 screened; there were few significant complications from LDCT screening; and a 6.7% reduction in all-cause mortality was observed with LDCT. The results of a formal cost-effectiveness evaluation of LDCT relative to CXR in the NLST are pending, but preliminary results based on available data suggest that LDCT screening could be cost effective if implemented in a fashion similar to the NLST.22

The period in which it makes its appearance is singular. The people of England have assiduously been excited to declare their loyalty, and to mark every man as obnoxious who is not ready to sign the Shibboleth of the constitution. Money is raised by voluntary subscription to defray the expense of prosecuting men who shall dare to promulgate heretical opinions, and thus to oppress them at once with the authority of government, and the resentment of individuals. This was an accident unforeseen when the work was undertaken; and it will scarcely be supposed that such an accident could produce any alteration in the writer's designs. Every man, if we may believe the voice of rumour, is to be prosecuted who shall appeal to the people by the publication of any unconstitutional paper or pamphlet; and it is added that men are to be punished for any unguarded words that may be dropped in the warmth of conversation and debate. 2 It is now to be tried whether, in addition to these alarming encroachments upon our liberty, a book is to fall under the arm of the civil power which, beside the advantage of having for one of its express objects the dissuading from tumult and violence, is by its very nature an appeal to men of study and reflection. It is to be tried whether an attempt shall be made to suppress the activity of mind, and put an end to the disquisitions of science. Respecting the event in a personal view the author has formed his resolution. Whatever conduct his countrymen may pursue, they will not be able to shake his tranquillity. The duty he conceives himself most bound to discharge is the assisting the progress of truth; and, if he suffer in any respect for such a proceeding, there is certainly no vicissitude that can befal him that can ever bring along with it a more satisfactory consolation.

Risperidone Risperidone has been demonstrated to be efficacious in the treatment of irritability in children, adolescents, and adults with ASDs in a number of controlled studies. One of the multisite, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that led to the FDA approval of risperidone for the treatment of irritability in children and adolescents with autism revealed a 69% response rate with a 57% decrease in irritability as measured by the ABC Irritability subscale.69 Similar results were observed in another randomized study of children and adolescents with ASDs.70 Other investigations have also found increased relapse rates upon blinded risperidone discontinuation in children and adolescents with ASDs.71,72 Risperidone treatment coupled with parent management training was also found to reduce irritability, stereotypic behavior, and hyperactivity/noncompliance more effectively than risperidone monotherapy in children with ASDs, aged 4 to 13 years.73 In controlled studies of risperidone in children with ASDs younger than 5 years, results have been mixed. One study of 24 children, aged 2 to 6 years, found minimally greater improvement in target symptoms but with insufficient findings to direct treatment.74 Another study from India in children aged 2 to 9 years revealed a 63% response rate as measured by a 20% or greater improvement from baseline in the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), with no responders in the placebo group.75 Dosages in the studies above ranged from 0.5 to 3.5 mg/day, with the combination risperid one/parent management training group requiring a lower mean dose compared with the risperidone monotherapy group (1.98 versus 2.26 mg/day, respectively). Adverse effects included increased appetite, weight gain, fatigue, somnolence, drowsiness, dizziness, anxiety, hypersalivation, upper respiratory tract infections, and rhinitis. Transient dyskinesias occurred in 15% of the risperidone-treated group from the India study.

1) and an 11 percentage point increase in the rate at which they opted to forgo at least one unhealthy snack (chips or cookies) in favor of something healthy (fruit, carrots, or nuts): Control = 46%, Exposé = 57%, χ2(1) = 4.58, P = 0.03. From a nutritional perspective, it resulted in a 4.26-g (or 7%) reduction in mean total carbohydrate content, t(466) = 2.59, P = 0.009, and a 3.60-g (or 9%) reduction in the total sugar content of selections, t(467) = 2.33, P = 0.020 (see Table 1). And both of these numbers undersell the nutritional significance of the effect. None of the sugar in the healthy choices is added, but almost all of the sugar in the unhealthy options is added,§ and none of the carbohydrates in the healthy options are simple (or “bad”) carbohydrates, but all or almost all of the carbohydrates in the unhealthy choices are. Fig. 1. Effect of exposé treatment on free-choice unhealthy food and drink choices, 1 d postintervention. n = 469. Bars represent SEM. Table 1. Effect of exposé treatment on major behavioral and nutritional outcomes (measured 1 d posttreatment) Treatment effects were not moderated by study year (interaction effect Ps > 0.5) or by BMI (Supporting Information). Thus, in sum, when teens were faced with a seemingly unrelated private choice among snacks and drinks, in a different class a day later, those who had received the exposé treatment made significant and substantially healthier choices than those who had not. Mediation of Behavioral Effect. In support of our broader theoretical model, mediation analyses showed that the exposé treatment increased perceptions of the social status appeal of healthy eating, which in turn led to healthier food and drink choices the next day. Increased perceptions of the social status appeal of healthy eating significantly predicted reductions in unhealthy food and drink choices, r(420) = –0.16, P < 0.001, demonstrating that framing healthy eating as consistent with important and widely shared adolescent values was effective in increasing the perceived social status appeal of that behavior. Further, there was a significant indirect effect of the exposé treatment on next-day food and drink choices mediated through ratings of the social status appeal of healthy eating [ordinary least squares, b = –0.05 (–0.10, –0.02), P < 0.001] (Fig. 2). In the mediation model, the direct effect of treatment on behavior became nonsignificant (P > 0.4), consistent with full mediation. Fig. 2.

To that end, in 2013, council voted to make Toronto a “music city” and convened a committee of more than 30 music-sector professionals to devise a strategy. John Tory has been a particularly enthusiastic supporter of the initiative and, in the face of the recent epidemic of club closures, the mayor rightly vowed to take immediate action to protect the vitality of Toronto’s music scene. The committee’s report, released last year, contains useful ideas about how to do that, from changing prohibitive noise bylaws to providing affordable city-run rehearsal spaces and creating more public performance venues. The report even recommends following the lead of Nashville and New York City by dedicating affordable housing units to musicians to ensure they can continue to make art in the city. Council should also keep pressuring the province to change its perversely inflexible property-tax laws. Rather than rewarding property owners for using their buildings for culturally enriching purposes – say, as music venues – the code impels them to build yet more condos or high-rise office buildings. Gentrification needs no help; government should be protecting the small, idiosyncratic things that give a city its character, not encouraging their eviction. Finally, there’s demand to consider. Cities like Nashville and Austin, whose music markets are smaller than Toronto’s, have been particularly successful at promoting themselves as destinations for music tourism, significantly boosting their respective economies. Toronto has similar ambitions, as it should. Of course, doing all this will require money. And making an argument for cultural investment at a time when scarce funds can’t cover even programs for the most vulnerable can be daunting. That’s why culture is so often among the first victims of austerity. But the choice is false. The mayor is right to promise to protect live music venues and invest in a larger music strategy. We can have a culturally rich city and be financially richer for it.

All skin care preparations (e.g., sunscreens, exfoliants, moisturizers, antioxidants, acne medicines, etc.) have two phases: the first is the active ingredient that does the work and the second is the vehicle which carries the active ingredient (e.g., a cream, ointment, lotion, solution, etc.). The active ingredient is dissolved or suspended in the vehicle. The active ingredient is usually a single, often small molecule usually comprising far less than one-percent of the skincare preparation's volume and weight. The vehicle usually consists of greater than 99% of the skincare preparation's volume and weight. If the vehicle of a skincare product (Product A) is more volatile, thinner or evaporates faster than the vehicle of a second product (Product B), then Product A should go on first because after its vehicle (e.g., alcohol or water) evaporates, it leaves a less than 1% volume of the active ingredient molecules which are easily penetrated by the mass effect of Product B's active ingredient whose vehicle is thicker, less volatile or more viscous. In other words, when multiple skincare products are applied (layered) on top of one another, the products with the most volatile, lightest, least viscous vehicle should be applied first (e.g., water based and alcohol based products, and gels). For example, in my current Stallex product line there is a very effective and popular at home exfoliating product containing 10% glycolic acid in a light alcohol vehicle that is applied from a thin cotton pad. I actually recommend to apply this exfoliator before sunscreen lotions and creams because of the rules of the order of application of vehicles we just discussed. As another example, I also have a lighter (than the glycolic pad) vehicle sunscreen (also applied from a pad) which I would thus recommend to apply before the exfoliating pads.

Because of his notorious, momentary swings of mood one never knew what he'd be like at any given time, and a life riddled with misfortune, malady, and isolating deafness later on did nothing to improve his already volatile disposition. The only thing consistently predictable about Beethoven was his consistent unpredictability. He could be abrupt and unpleasant with friends. He could also be cordial and accommodating with a total stranger who might visit him unannounced, unexpected and uninvited. It must be remembered that just because he was so far above us in his art doesn't mean he had to be far above us in general daily virtue. In the right historical context, the reason is valid and clear. Like us, he had a full set of human weaknesses, and his personal frailties make him more, not less, of a human being. The passage and changes of time yield transformations. According to old Alamo plans and maps, James Bowie's quarters in the Low Barracks, now long gone, were located near what is now part of the vest-pocket park facing the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. There's now no trace of Thoreau's cabin at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. The house at 25 Brook Street in London, where Handel lived for 36 years, wrote The Messiah in three weeks, and died in 1759 is only now being restored to its original appearance and will be the first composer museum in London. The Vienna building where Brahms lived for the last 26 years of his life was demolished (but at least ceremoniously) on April 3, 1907, exactly ten years after he died there. The areas surrounding Beethoven's residences in and around Vienna would be totally unrecognizable to him today. Remainders and reminders of the great can affect and inspire the devoted. Behind otherwise ordinary objects are the revealing Beethoven stories with their anecdotal richness. Even daily accouterments, objects of no intrinsic value, are often considered sacred relics. An official document with only his signature brings a fortune at auction, and his major manuscripts are effectively priceless. The quills he wrote with, and a lock of his hair taken from his deathbed, are kept in a glass case in the Beethoven Memorial Rooms at Mölkerbastei 8 in Vienna. Also displayed is the original green door to the Schwarzspanierhaus flat where the composer died on March 26, 1827.

We initially planned to use the same performance categories as used by Heishman et al. (1994) to maintain consistency between the earlier literature (1970–1993) and this update: sensory, motor, attention (focused, selective, divided, and sustained), and cognition (learning, memory, and other). However, we found no studies that measured sensory abilities, and recent trends in the literature allowed us to examine different aspects of attention and memory. Posner’s network model of attention provided a theoretical and empirical framework for organizing studies of attentional performance ( Posner and Rothbart 2007 ). The independent networks that comprise this system are termed (a) alerting (maintaining an alert state, as in signal detection tasks), (b) orienting (directing attention to sensory events, as in cued target tasks), and (c) executive function or control (resolving conflict among potential responses, as in the Stroop task; Fan et al. 2009 ; Posner and Rothbart 2007 ). We thus categorized attentional outcomes into one of these three domains. The majority of outcomes subsumed under cognition were in memory, with a few studies investigating arithmetic abilities and reasoning. We classified memorial outcome measures as episodic, semantic, prospective, or working memory. Episodic memory refers to personal experiences and information, such as a word list, whereas semantic memory is defined as culturally shared knowledge, such as meaning of words ( Tulving 1972 ). Prospective memory involves intentional processes required to perform a future activity ( Ellis and Kvavilashvili 2000 ). Among these three memory types, we distinguished between short-term memory (retention intervals <3 min) and long-term memory (retention intervals ≥10 min). Working memory is defined as a system that assists in the temporary (<10 s) holding and manipulation of information ( Baddeley 1999 ).

Based on the IPCC Protocol for Addressing Possible Errors in IPCC Assessment Reports (approved at IPCC-XXXIII held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates), substantive changes to past Synthesis Reports must be submitted to the Panel for approval, prior to posting; the Panel may delegate the approval step to the Executive Committee. IPCC received a request for a change to two passages of the AR4 Synthesis Report dealing with projected impacts on yields of North African rainfed agriculture. The request was submitted by Drs. Pachauri, Parry, Canziani, van Ypersele, Barros, and Field. Because the change was requested by the individuals responsible for the decision on action (the IPCC Chairman and the Co-chairs of the relevant working group), the request should move to Section 3, Step 5A of the Error Protocol. The text in question is in the Synthesis Report (Table SPM.2. on page 11 and 3.3.2 on page 50). Both passages read: “By 2020, in some countries, yields from rain-fed agriculture could be reduced by up to 50%.” The problem with this passage is that it drops all mention of a role for climate variability, creating the impression that IPCC is projecting that climate change alone could cause agricultural yields to drop by 50% by 2020. In the background reference and in the WGII report, it is clear that this projected impact reflects the combined effects of climate change and variability. Based on extensive discussions involving the WGII Co-chairs from the AR4, these statements provide such an incomplete message that most readers will interpret them incorrectly. This problem does not affect the text in the WGII report or the WGII SPM, where the role of climate variability is prominent. Based on section three of the error correction protocol, the IPCC Chairman and the WGII Co-chairs from the AR4 and the AR5 propose a straightforward correction to the two statements in the Synthesis Report. The text of the correction is as follows.

Into the shape of two people.When we were getting ready for bed, the evening we saw the above described exchange on some show I have already forgotten, Iain smiled at me in the mirror. "You don't complete me," I told him, smiling back. He laughed. "You don't complete me, either."

Many include elevators, electric lights, ventilation ducts, and cleverly disguised entry and exit shafts. They can reach as deep as seventy feet, and they tend to be tall enough for an adult to walk or ride through. These days, most of Sinaloa’s supertunnels are used to ferry drugs across the border, from Garita de Otay, an industrial neighborhood in northern Tijuana, to Otay Mesa, a similar area in southern San Diego. Otay Mesa, which is bounded on the north by Brown Field Municipal Airport and on the south by Mexico, consists of highways, strip malls, and a few hundred warehouses clustered near the border. Most supertunnels terminate inside these warehouses, making them difficult to detect. The amount of warehouse space in Otay Mesa has nearly quadrupled since the mid-nineties, and the expansion has been almost as frenetic in Garita de Otay. Forklifts, jackhammers, and heavy vehicles attract little attention. Cartel trucks back into loading bays, pallets are loaded in, and the drugs are delivered north to distribution hubs. There are three official border crossings near Otay Mesa; one, for commercial vehicles, is inside the industrial zone. “All of this has created a candy store for smugglers,” a U.S. agent told me. “This whole area belongs to them.” Hundreds of federal agents—from Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement—work in a pair of large unmarked buildings on the edge of the Otay Mesa district. Among them are the ten members of the San Diego Tunnel Task Force, a multi-agency group created in 2003. The agents have found an average of two tunnels a year, but most of the people they have arrested have been low-tier Sinaloa operatives such as truck drivers and warehouse supervisors. Information within the cartel is compartmentalized, so that even when workers are caught and tempted with plea bargains they are unable to divulge much actionable intelligence. “There are so many questions,” Tim Durst, a former Tunnel Task Force supervisor, told the Wall Street Journal, in 2013. “What are their techniques? How the heck do they build these things so well?” Recent investigations—including a pending case involving a man believed to have been Sinaloa’s highest-ranking tunnel manager—have provided some answers. Sherri Hobson, a federal prosecutor in San Diego, told me, “I think it’s a very small group of élite members of the cartel that are doing this. This is highly sophisticated work.

Vince Carter Getting the opportunity to participate in the dunk contest was a lifelong, childhood dream. Of course the game on Sunday is great and all, but All-Star Saturday and the dunk contest was it for me. Dee Brown 1991 dunk-contest champ and Carter’s teammate for the 1999–2000 season I had known Vince before we played together on the Raptors, being a Florida boy, myself. I remember seeing the contest he won in high school. When he was coming up as a kid there were a lot of dunk contests, and he won all of them. Jerry Stackhouse 2000 dunk-contest entrant, now an assistant coach with the Raptors I remember playing pickup games with him at Chapel Hill. Someone would make a shot and as the ball is falling through the rim Vince would catch it and windmill it in again. So you knew he was special when it came to leaping ability and timing. Just an unbelievable athlete. Kenny Smith TNT sportscaster and three-time dunk-contest entrant Most people knew about what Vince could do as a dunker, but they had never seen him dunk in a contest. They didn’t know if he could have that creativity that, in a contest, is completely different than, say, when you’re finishing off a fast break during a game. Brown The people were there for Vince, no question. You’ve got to remember that the year before, 1999, they didn’t have a dunk contest, so this was going to be “the rejuvenation.” It was a bigger deal than usual. Smith I’d seen Vince. I knew he had the ability to do things that we had legitimately never seen—but not to that level. Carter Growing up, I used to tape the dunk contests and study them. I was trying to figure out in my mind—it might be a little different from the average guy and so this might sound weird—the dunks were cool and all, but I wanted to know, Why is he doing this dunk? What is he trying to show? What’s the look he’s going for? That was how I would break it down. I was into it. Obsessed.

Noah’s flood as history Noah’s Flood or Deluge (described later in the book of Genesis) was treated even more clearly as a real historical event: on the chronologists’ calculations, it could be dated to more than a millennium and a half after the start of the human drama. Unlike the Creation story, its details did not depend on direct divine revelation. They could have reached Moses—who was believed to be the author of Genesis— through an unbroken line of records or memories stretching back to Noah and his family, who had been on board the Ark and had witnessed the Flood at first hand. So the story of the Flood was subjected to detailed analysis by scholars, who tried to work out what exactly had happened and how. They tried to reconstruct the “antediluvial” (“before the Deluge”) human world that the Flood had destroyed; how Noah’s family had survived the catastrophe in his Ark; and how the “postdiluvial” (“after the Deluge”) human world had recovered from it. They also conjectured how it might have been caused and how it had affected the Earth itself and its animal inhabitants and other non-human features. All this was based on the biblical text, mainly because Genesis was believed to contain the sole authentic historical record of the event (similar non-biblical stories, such as Deucalion’s flood in the Greek records, were generally thought to be second-hand accounts derived from the earlier biblical one, or else accounts of later and more local events). Among the many 17th-century historians who analyzed and commented on the Flood story in this way, the German Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher is a good example (just as Ussher has been taken here as a representative chronologist). Kircher was a highly erudite scholar who published on a wide range of topics of interest to his educated readers around Europe; like Ussher he wrote in Latin, making his work accessible to them all. His massive illustrated book on the The Subterranean World (Mundus Subterraneus, 1668), based on a wide knowledge of the natural sciences of his time, described the physical Earth as a complex system, dynamic but not in any sense a product of history. For example, he speculated how its visible surface features such as volcanoes might be related to its unseen internal structure (he had traveled in Italy and had first-hand knowledge of Vesuvius and Etna).

Some contend that adding a public option to the ACA insurance marketplaces could serve as a corrective to the abuses of the profit-based insurance industry and, perhaps, even be a first step on the road to Medicare for all. The public option plans, as designed by a pair of current congressional bills,6 would be administered by the federal government, funded by premiums, and have their own provider networks. The public option plans would be offered alongside the private insurance plans in the marketplaces and be subject to the same terms and conditions, including the premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions as the other metal plans – bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The idea is that a public option would be able to drive down insurance prices by competing against private health plans as a low-cost option that would not need to spend huge amounts on executive compensation packages, turn a profit, or pay dividends to shareholders.7 However, the market for health insurance differs dramatically from markets for most goods and services in such a way that increased competition does not necessarily drive down prices. Though the differences are many, consider just two. First, those buying insurance are unable predict in advance what type of healthcare they may need; even those currently being treated for a health condition may have unanticipated health needs arise. The second and crucial point is that the private insurance business model, which seeks to limit claims paid on policies, conflicts with the very reason most people have for purchasing health insurance, the need for healthcare. Insurers’ biggest costs are what they term medical loss, or the costs of paying for policyholders’ covered healthcare services. Thus, insurers strive to limit how much they pay out in claims for care provided to their enrollees. Health insurers do not focus on maximizing policy sales, but on maximizing sales to individuals who they deem will pay more in premiums than they cost in care. Competition among health insurers amounts to competing to sell policies to healthier individuals (also known as “cherry picking”).

You need to know a few terms and have a basic understanding of the different types of generator sets and their operating principles. We will explain in simple terms. You should have your equipment installed by an expert. A knowledgeable person, who knows the electric code, can do wiring and simple plumbing can do the installation, but you will have to know what your doing. Installation may require expert assistance and must adhere to local codes and regulations, not only to obey the law but to make sure you don't void your insurance by installing equipment illegally or without permits. We recommend that you have a contractor do your installation or, at the very least, have him provide professional advice. It is up to you to make sure the installation is done correctly. For a list of resources on this website and to skip to specific areas of interest see: Generator Information. PORTABLE OR STATIONARY? Most homeowners first think of portable generators rather then stationary generators. If you want to haul a generator outside or put one outside in a shed and plug in cords when there is a power outage, it can be done. You will not necessarily save any money doing it but if you have a use for the portable generator for non-emergency times then it might be an alternative. It has been our experience that it is more economical and less hassle to purchase a stationary system and power the whole house or business. Not only do you get more power for the dollar but your family and/or employees don't have to do anything to have emergency power. Do you want your wife, children or employees hauling out equipment and plugging things in and starting up the system, switching the transfer switch and having to refuel? At some point all of this becomes ridiculous and costs you more in staff time and potential liability then its worth. Before you decide read: Generator Sizes and Types for Your Home or Business STAND-BY OR PRIME? The first determination you will need to make is whether you will require stand-by or prime power. Simply stated, prime power is required when you have no other source of power or you are using the system as you prime means of power. Any generator that is used everyday or on a fixed schedule to provide power is considered a prime power generator. Another word for prime is "continuous".

According to investigations carried out by Writeway historians, there was a South Vietnamese rifle range in the area identified by Mr Olsen. Writeway concluded that the incident claimed is completely out of context of security incidents noted in the Vung Tau area throughout the entire period of Australian involvement. There is no record of any incident similar to that claimed by Mr Olsen either in the files of Mr Olsen’s unit or headquarter files, or the files of the military police or other agencies such as 1st Australian Field hospital. None of the officers who would have been expected to hear of such an incident recall mention of it, either officially or unofficially. Writeway identified an official record of three shots being fired, followed by two bursts of automatic fire, on 13 July 1971, in the region of the South Vietnamese military area. Mr Olsen, during cross examination agreed that was likely the same shots that he heard. He now accepts he had the date wrong. Mr Olsen offered no explanation as to why there was no report filed by Sgt McCaughan (now deceased) in the official records. Mr Olsen now accepts the fire he heard was in the context of training, and he was not being personally fired on or in any danger at the time. This does not explain Mr Olsen’s very lengthy and detailed account of the Vietnamese soldier he claims was hiding behind a boulder and his account of bludgeoning him with his weapon. In relation to the Hong Kong Bar incident, The account Mr Olsen gave conjured up images of a scene out of a Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee movie, Mr Olsen playing the role of the super hero. It is totally incredulous. I prefer the evidence of Mr Nuttell who was also present. He did not accept the account of the incident provided by Mr Olsen. He agreed that Mr Olsen and himself were involved in some altercation, and later that night, the Vietnamese from the Hong Kong bar caught up with them. The event, as described by Mr Nuttell, was not of the nature of the type of event that could be described as involving a threat of the type in the definition of PTSD. In summary I am not satisfied on balance that Mr Olsen experienced the stressful incidents upon which the diagnosis of PTSD is based.

Discussion Sustained sexual transmissions of ZIKV in the MSM community would lead to sporadic sub-critical, but potentially dramatic spillover outbreaks in the heterosexual community, and would increase the probability of endemic establishment of ZIKV. Our result that sexual transmission increases the potential epidemic size and the probability of establishment supports earlier findings from Gao et al. (2016). However, previously published models of sexual transmission do not permit contact heterogeneity nor asymmetry in infectivity. Although we do not study the quantitative effect of heterogeneity, we rather discuss how R 0 should be measured and contextualized when heterogeneity and/or asymmetry exists. Specifically, using a data-driven, but still largely minimal and naive model, we show that the difference in the estimated values of R 0 can lead to drastically different conclusions in terms of the epidemic risk and the probability of disease persistence. Hence, given our evolving understanding of the clinical outcomes for ZIKV infection in adults [49], which, in addition to fever, rash, etc., include autoimmune disorders [50], thrombocytopenia [49], hearing loss [51], and harm to reproductive organs [52] (including risk of fertility issues in males resulting from testicular atrophy [53]), it may be prudent from an individual perspective, as well as a population-level perspective, to increase testing for all adults. Taken together, our results support recent calls to formally consider ZIKV to be a sexually transmitted infection [10, 15, 16, 17, 54]. Public health decision- and policy-makers rely on accurate characterizations of transmission risk to decide on interventions and strategically allocate limited resources. For pathogens, like ZIKV, which are both vectored by an insect and transmitted sexually (with sex-based asymmetry in transmission rate), conventional approaches will underestimate the risk associated with sexual transmission. Underestimating the risk of sexual transmission, both in terms of the average transmission risk and variation in transmission risk, will lead both to biased intervention efforts and to an underestimate of the potential for disease persistence. Additionally, given the differential rates of ZIKV testing in MSM versus non-MSM communities and the known heterogeneity between their contact distributions, the data on sexual transmission are almost certainly biased. We also do not have sufficient experimental or epidemiological evidence for the per-contact probability of transmission in the MSM community. Here we advocate for the decision-making and disease modeling communities to better embrace contact network methods when characterizing transmission risk and for increased ZIKV testing in both MSM and non-MSM communities.

True, and- as noted- their neglect to bring weak men into the fold is a chief failing of feminism. But note the telling omission: if a woman is all those things and unattractive, to boot, no one will care about her, either. Yes, it’s correct to say that pretty women are able to avoid the worst fates, but those with mediocre looks? Or those that are downright ugly? In fact, I’d argue that she’d be in a worse position, partly because the way a woman is assigned value is through appearance, first, irrespective of any deeper qualities. The man IS able to change- is, despite the odds against him, able to be a kind of Ubermensch, and is in fact expected to be precisely that, wherein appearance doesn’t matter at all, and his past struggles are irrelevant. A weak woman, however- with no physical value? Or a sexual past, as opposed to the pardoned baggage of an Ubermensch? It is THIS sort of mobility that feminism has (rightly) tried to address. And in this TRP measure, both are at a near-equal disadvantage. The male, perhaps, can sell himself into a kind of physical slavery, as many laborers do. In the end, it will destroy him. The desperate woman, however, must sell her sex, which will be cheap- and this will destroy her, especially if she has any aspirations other than being another’s shadow. The history of human exploitation is one in which men are killed- sometimes wholesale- and women spiritually impoverished and perpetually humiliated. Logically, #1 is the worse choice, but many- if not most men- would still choose it over #2, indicating an odd gender equilibrium that pops up in unexpected ways. Yet in its gender monomania, TRP does not comment on this predictable dynamic, for while the words ‘power, power, power’ are said to be its real fruit, gender always seems to hang much lower, obscuring a thing that- at essence- can even change the ‘cement’ of the Stone Age brain. Power, in these new, unorthodox forms, is still interpreted as power, even as its expression (as will be shown) is 100% counter to TRP’s theory of who finds what attractive.

JAIPUR: Hoisted at the helm by a clean sweep in the polls, chief minister Vasundhara Raje wants to scale down her security and be among the masses. According to well-placed sources, the chief minister has directed that traffic should not be stopped on the road when her cavalcade moves in. Till now, traffic is stopped prior to the arrival of the chief minister's convoy till such time it had passed by.Raje not only wants to do away with this system but is also okay with halting at every red signal when she is passing by. "It is just that she wants to be with the 'aam aadmi.' She does not want common man to be inconvenienced just because she is plying down the street. She wants to be with them," said Mahendra Bhardwaj, media advisor to the chief minister. "However, there will be exceptions and roads will be cleared ahead of her arrival when the chief minister has to rush to some place on an emergency. These will be rare occasions," he added. "It is an official order from the chief minister as she does not want to inconvenience the common man. As far as the CM's security is concerned, especially at times when her car stops at red signal, we will take care of it," said Omendra Bhardwaj, director general of police.Though Raje's move is unique for Rajasthan, it has been practiced by some chief ministers in other states. After being elected chief minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee too refused pilot vehicles for her convoy though norms of Z plus security was maintained. She had asked that no elaborate security measures be part of her convoy as she wanted to travel like an ordinary citizen.On Monday, Raje turned away much of the security that was given to her on her maiden visit to Delhi after being elected chief minister for the second time. Raje was in Delhi to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh besides holding a meeting with BJP president Rajnath Singh on the formation of cabinet. "Extra security and pilot vehicles ahead and trailing alienates the chief minister from the masses and that is what she is not willing to do," Bhardwaj said.

While Wynne was out trying to promote new sources of funding that included road pricing initiatives, the opposition was telling GTHA residents there were painless solutions: sell government assets, increase corporate taxes. When Metrolinx brought forward its short list of proposed revenue tools last year a Forum Research poll found that only one third of GTHA residents approved of taxes, tolls or congestion fees. None of Metrolinx’s options received more than 50 per cent approval. Wynne set up a transit investment panel to see if they could find a politically palatable way forward. The panel side-stepped most measures designed to discourage car use. They recommended modest gasoline and corporate tax increases, and a redeployment of HST revenues. These funding sources will build more transit. But the notion that “if you build it, they will come” is only a half-answer. The international experience is clear. Without comprehensive road pricing measures, more transit will not do much to ease congestion or reduce greenhouse emissions. Hudak immediately labelled the gas tax a “sin tax.” Horwath said her party is “unequivocally” against the gas tax recommendation. When Premier Wynne started the congestion conversation she was open to a full range of funding options that would improve transit and discourage car use. Eighteen months later, unable to sell limitations on car use, she proposes to recycle a portion of existing HST and gas tax revenues into a dedicated transit fund. This week’s budget will tell us where the replacement funds will come from. Probably a combination of more borrowing and hikes in the taxes on corporations and high income Ontarians. High occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on some 400 series highways may be mentioned in a token attempt to recognize the role of road pricing. But an effective anti-congestion plan for the GTHA will have to wait for a majority government: one willing to look past our self-defeating transportation attitudes. Meanwhile, the gridlock gets worse. R. Michael Warren is a former corporate director, Ontario deputy minister, TTC chief general manager and Canada Post CEO. [email protected]

Taking people at random in this way, one would have to select 366 people to be absolutely sure that two of them had the same birthday. At the same time, it's fairly clear that it would be excruciatingly difficult to select 365 people from a crowd and not have two people with the same birthday. If you select just two people, the probability is very low, but it is possible! The more people you select, the more likely it is to pick two born on the same day. The magic figure of 20 comes in - in fact it's 23 - when the probability of having two people with the same birthday reaches 50/50. Put another way, if we selected many groups of 23 people we could be sure that half of the groups selected would contain two people with the same birthday. But it is never certain until you select 366. However when you get to 50, the odds amount to over 90%. Terence Hollingworth, Blagnac France 366, you would think. Steve, Bristol UK For two people, the probability is 1/365. Three people represents three combinations of two people, so the probability is 1/365 + 1/365 + 1/365 = 1/122. Four people gives 6 two-person combinations = 6/365 = 1/61. In order to be probable, ie. have a probability of 1/2 or greater, we need a number whose combinations add up to 365/2 = 182. Twenty people gives 190 two-person combinations, giving a probability that two of those twenty people share a birthday of just over 50%. Mark Lewney, Cardiff EU It's 23. Tim Ault, London UK The probability of two people in a randomly selected group sharing a birthday becomes greater than 50% when the size of the group reaches 23. John Charnock, Warrington UK 23! Students of Illuminati conspiracy theories will no doubt be intrigued by this. Nick, Milton Keynes UK Again we have contradictory answers. To see why Mark Lewney is mistaken, apply his method to a group of 28 people. There are 378 possible two-person combinations, so his method gives a probability greater than 1, which is clearly impossible. Applying the correct method as stated by Tony Foxcroft, the probability of a match for 20 people is just over 41 percent. Incidentally, for 28 people, the probability is just over 65 percent. This all ignores leap years and the fact that birthdays are not evenly distributed.

The word “song” is used in such places as Rev 5:9 where it cannot refer to the Psalms. Obviously Paul would not have been so redundant to say “Speaking to yourselves in psalms, psalms, and psalms.” We have not been able to find one major Reformed commentator who takes the exclusive psalmist’s interpretation of this passage. Almost without exception, all commentators have rejected the sole psalmist’s understanding of this passage. The general agreement is that ‘psalms’ refer to the Old Testament Psalms and ‘hymns’ and ‘spiritual songs’ refer to new uninspired compositions which will bless every generation of Christians. “But what about the word ‘spiritual’? Doesn’t it prove that only inspired songs can be sung?” Again, the word “spiritual” is used in the New Testament in several different ways. Such Reformed commentators as John Calvin and Charles Hodge understand the word ‘spiritual’ in the context of being Spirit-filled (v. 18). Does the word ‘spiritual’ mean inspired in Eph.6:12 or 1:3? Does it mean inspired in Gal.6:1 or in 1Cor 2:15? We are to sing songs which are not carnal but spiritual just as we are to avoid carnal thoughts and to seek to be spiritually-minded. Question 4. Is there any indication that congregational singing should be limited to the Psalms? None whatsoever. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart. (Col. 3:16). Question 1. Does this verse speak directly concerning the public worship of the gathered church? There is no indication in the context that public worship is being discussed. As in Eph 5, the totality of the Christian life is in view. We are told to exercise mutual love and forgiveness (vv. 12-14); to let God’s peace rule in our hearts (v. 15); to let the Word of Christ dwell richly in us (v. 16); to do all in the name of the Lord (v. 17). Then there follows instructions for family living and Christian slaves and masters (vv. 18-4:2) Even the words ‘to one another’ cannot be interpreted as referring exclusively to public worship. The focus of the passage clearly concerns private Christian fellowship at home or at work. And, indeed, in the worship services of Reformed churches, “teaching” and “admonishing” is the stated work of the elders or pastors and is not a congregational function.

*Technical Description* All the vulnerable versions of the "SNS Provider" application implement two services that are exported so other applications can obtain information or interact with Facebook and Twitter social networks, named 'SNSFbService' and 'SNSTwService' respectively. These services allows an application to access the user's information (such as statuses, photos, events, likes, etc in Facebook or get the access token in the Twitter related service) and even post content on behalf of the user. Since they aren't protected by any permission, any malicious application can connect to them. A third exported service 'SNSFbServiceForAuthToken' allows an application to obtain the Facebook account credentials (access token) but its protected by a custom permission: 'com.sec.android.SNS3.permission.SNS_FB_ACCESS_TOKEN'. In devices running versions of Android greater than 4.1, the same happens for Twitter and it's protected service 'SNSTwServiceForAuthToken' and the corresponding permission 'com.sec.android.SNS3.permission.SNS_TW_ACCESS_TOKEN'. The protection level [4] of these custom permissions is set to "normal" so any third party application can request them. When a third party, potentially malicious, application requires the user to grant these permissions, they will not be shown in the short list of permission presented to the user at installation time. They will only appear if the user clicks on the UI button to show the lsit of all requested permissions. Furthermore, when the entire list of permissions requested is shown, these custom defined permissions will appear to be named "Default" with a description consisting of the default string "string resource". Therefore, it is likely that unsuspecting users will simply grant these permissions to any third party application that requests them. In order to connect to these services, an attacker would need to know their interface. The AIDL files can be reconstructed by reverse engineering the application and observing the generated proxies and stubs. The interfaces for the Twitter related service are in 'com.sec.android.SNS3.svc.sp.twitter.api' and the Facebook ones are in 'com.sec.android.SNS3.svc.sp.facebook.api' and 'com.sec.android.SNS3.svc.sp.facebook.auth.api'. The source code and corresponding binary APK file of a proof of concept application that demonstrates exploitation of these vulnerabilities found in [5]. The application requests SNS Provider's custom-defined permissions to communicate with SNS Provider's Facebook and Twitter protected services and successfully connects to its exported Facebook services (the protected and the unprotected one) and the protected Twitter service. The UI has three buttons. When clicking the first one, the application obtains the user's access token to Twitter (if SNS Provider has been granted one) using a method exported via AIDL from the service 'SNSTwitterServiceForAuthToken'.

It is their growing hostility and rivalry in the weeks after the success of 2014 that reportedly untethered Mr Kishor from the BJP.Critics of the compact-sized strategist say that till then, BJP bosses had indulgently allowed Mr Kishor to exaggerate his role in the Prime Minister's triumph. Detractors have called him out as a mercenary, a slighted man who left the BJP for Nitish Kumar in 2015 looking to settle scores with his former boss. Supporters of Mr Kishor say that even in closed groups, he is economical in recalling those times, insisting that talk of earlier political assignments is cheap.The crossover from the BJP to Nitish Kumar and then the Congress, say close aides, does not make Mr Kishor an itinerant without ideology, swiping right and then centre-left on a political Tinder. "Good governance, a politician who has shown he or she can deliver" is his pre-requisite for backing a candidate, they claim, speaking on the condition of anonymity (confidentiality is an imposing feature of the dynamic between Mr Kishor and his friends, aides, and his I-PAC workers). "Look at Narendra Modi, Nitish, Sheila Dikshit, even Amarinder Singh. He really believes they are good administrators," they offer unconvincingly. In moments less contrived, they say Mr Kishor occasionally acknowledges that signing up with the Congress involves more heavy-lifting than just strategy; this is a party whose depletion has been heightened by a systems failure.By 6.30 pm, after a lengthy and unscheduled stop, Mrs Gandhi was too unwell to continue. News channels binge-reported on what followed: she was at the airport on a drip, an air ambulance was being considered, a local hospital was on stand-by, the Prime Minister tweeted his concern. A little after 10 pm, she flew to Delhi on a chartered plane. The news that she had dislocated her shoulder would not emerge for hours. She is still recovering in hospital.After Mrs Gandhi's departure, in a corner of the lobby at the Taj Hotel, Mr Kishor was toying, however demurringly, with the accoutrements of a political high-roller. Ajay Rai, the Congressman who ran against the PM in 2014, sat across him for a bit. He was followed by an elderly Congressman, accompanied by a medical attendant, who offered his home in Hajipur as an election office for the area. Then came a local politician escorting a young man who wanted to contest the election. "If you could put in a word," the politician urged.

: Characters occasionally ask what Chavo's real name is, where he lives, and who he lives with. Every time he is about to answer, there is an interruption and the subject is never brought up again. He mentioned he lived in the apartment No. 8 of the neighborhood (which was never seen in the series) and being called "del Ocho" ("from the eight") for that same reason (note that this explanation was only necessary after El Chavo moved from channel 8, where the series was born). Crying : Almost all the characters have their own way of crying, their body language a comedic coda of their general mannerisms: El Chavo : He would cry in a high-pitched "pipipipipipipipipipi". In the first ever El Chavo episode, he had a normal human cry but then performed the high pitched cry which would be his official cry throughout the series run. Quico : He would cry in a gargling "Aaaarrgghhh" while leaning on the wall near the entrance of the vecindad. Since Quico always cries on that wall, it has been occasionally referred to as "La pared de Quico" (In english: "Quico's Wall). Don Ramon : He rarely cries, but whenever so, he would provide a nearly high-pitched "Aaaaaaay" while wiping eye to eye in a "screwing a screwdriver" kind of fashion. La Chilindrina : She would pump her fists inward while wailing "Waaaaaaaaah! Waah! Waah! Waaaaaaah! Waah! Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah, Waaaaaah!" She would sometimes scratch her back or massage her buttocks as if someone hit her around that area while crying and menacing her aggressor to accuse him/her of hitting, slapping, screaming, etc. (though some of the accusations could be false). Ñoño : His almost resembles to a bird's chirp. He would wail in an extremely high pitched "Ehi-AH! Ehi-AH! Ehi-AH! Ehi-AH! Ehi-AH! Ehi-AH!" Doña Florinda : She barely cries, but when this happens she does the same as Quico to lean on a wall. Sometimes Quico's cry is heard as Florinda is lip-synching it and in other times an open scream ("Aaaaaaaahhhh!!!") is heard. Doña Clotilde : She rarely cries, but when she does, she sits down with her hands covering her mouth and her cry resembles an owl, "Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo! ".

In the first word of the piece, however, he inserted a link to the lengthy New York Times article of June 1 documenting how Obama personally directs the preparation of "kill lists," choosing victims and signing off on drone strikes when it is known that innocent civilians will be killed. - Advertisement - In this context, Carter's use of the word "assassination" to describe the drone attacks has an unmistakable meaning. The president of the United States, this former president is saying, is guilty of war crimes and murder. At the age of 88, Carter is a disinterested observer, concerned more with his legacy than any political gain. His testimony is all the more extraordinary in that he occupied the same office as Obama, is a member of the same party, and supported Obama's election. What could impel him, with little more than four months until the presidential election, to level such charges at his party's candidate and the sitting president? He must believe that the political setup in America has descended so far into criminality and the threat of a police state is so great that it is imperative for him to speak out.

With a thousand people living there at a time, it would also be possible to manufacture liquid oxygen and hydrogen from solar electrolysis of the water on the Moon which would be much harder to do if we used SLS option instead with its limited use. Perhaps many more midsize American companies can also participate in different aspect of this venture, making a transition to commercial ventures a real possibility. There is thus a possibility to utilize the talents of many in the country rather than confining the task only to NASA or large companies. The tanks above are shown as potential habitats, shown to their relative sizes. The picture is a cartoon picture and the doors are likely to be on the end rather than where shown here. The tanks would also have to be covered in lunar soil as shown in the next picture. The chart below shows the ability of this concept to effectively place large amounts in LEO, Falcon Heavy being able to place far larger weight in LEO than SLS, and at much smaller cost than SLS. Concluding thoughts SpaceX is planning to charge ~$93 million per Falcon Heavy flight

Trump's off-the-cuff statement came during a campaign rally in South Carolina on Friday, where the outspoken businessman magnate urged constituents to stop using Apple products until the company gave in to law enforcement demands. "First of all Apple should give the security for that phone, okay?" Trump said. "What I think you oughta do is boycott Apple until such time as they give that security number. How do you like...I just thought of that. "The crowd responded with a rousing cheer as Trump dropped more fact bombs, clarifying that the iPhone in question is in fact owned by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, not the "young thug" that "killed all these people." He was referring to Syed Rizwan Farook who, with the help of his wife Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 coworkers in a surprise attack last December.FBI agents recovered Farook's iPhone 5c from a related crime scene but has so far been unsuccessful in circumventing the device's passcode lock. Earlier this week a federal judge ordered Apple to comply with FBI requests to assist in bypassing the phone's security barrier, which would require the company to create a software workaround that effectively breaks its own encryption protocol.Seemingly caught up in his own rhetoric, Trump forgot he himself frequently uses an iPhone to post both personal and professional tweets. But he was on a roll. "Not even his phone, we don't even have to go that far," Trump said. "But Tim Cook is looking to do a big number, probably to show how liberal he is. But Apple should give up —they should get the security —you'll find other people. "Trump most recently tweeted from his iPhone less than an hour prior to this article's publication. Following today's remarks, Trump in a tweet sent from Twitter's Web client admitted to using Apple's products, but claimed to also use Samsung devices, which he would switch to exclusively until Apple complies with FBI demands.Trump later committed his boycott Apple message to the digital record in yet another tweet. But this time he used an Android device.

You can rinse the plate to get the food residue off with the running un-boiled water before washing them, but wash them with boiled water, if possible dip them in a mild bleach solution in the rinse cycle and hand dry.To make clear water safe, boil the water for 5 to 10 minutes at a rolling boil. You can also add chlorine before boiling it if you are really nervous. Be careful and let the water stand at least an hour to avoid burning yourself. Boil as much as you can at one time because it is a PITA to boil water. I used a seafood boiler and natural gas for this chore. Keep the pot covered when the water is boiling and cooling Store it in a CLEAN preferably sterilized container. Used but clean 2 liter soft drink bottles are perfect for storing boiled water (but wait till it cools to pour it! ).Potable Water should be used as much as possible. For example water used for cooking rice and spaghetti can be reused for cleaning the pots and dishes.An outside propane or natural gas burner with a large boiling pot will make quick work of producing many gallons of safe drinking water without the heat and humidity in the house. This boiling pot can also be used to sanitize plates, silverware and pots.You can attach a large activated charcoal filter to an outside water hose to filter water that you boil for drinking. Boiling may or may not remove toxic chemicals in the water. Use bottled water from a known source if at all possible for all drinking, food preparation washing and bathing.Water in a pinch can be made safer by filtering it and adding a small amount of Clorox or iodine tablets to the water. Murky or smelly water should not be used for anything, if at all possible!You may be tempted to use the dishwasher and put it on heated water and the sanitize setting, but do not take the risk. It is just not worth the risk! Plan on hand washing and sanitizing the dishes yourself.Paper towels, plates and deposable knives and forks work very well and many times are better than real china and silverware. Have lots of paper towels, garbage bags and deposable stuff on hand.Garbage disposal is a problem; there was not garbage pick up for 2 months. Plan on bringing it to the dump your self.

By using the same procedure on different arabica and robusta pure single origin coffee samples, yield, chemical and physicochemical properties resulted to be independent from coffee species and origin.27 TFF was further fractionated by means of isopropanol precipitation to get foaming fraction A (FFA) and B (FFB). The former was found to be composed of about 80% (on molar basis) of mannan, containing small amounts of galactose and arabinose, and of about 20% of arabinogalactan.25 FFA, characterized by high molecular weight (34,000–47,000) and moderately low surface activity, was shown to be involved in foam stability whereas FFB, melanoidin-proteinaceous material, with lower molecular weight (8,500–17,000) and high surface activity was shown to be involved in foamability.27 TFF, FFA, and FFB dissolved in water at 0.4% w/v gave an average surface tension (De Nouy tensiometer at 25 °C) of 51.9, 59.5, and 46.5 mN/m, respectively.27 Very recently TFF, FFA, and FFB have been isolated from an arabica (30%)/robusta (70%) blend and their foaming performances and viscoelastic properties have been determined.28 The whole set of experimental data substantially confirmed previous findings. The interfacial elasticity of 0.5% FFB in water plotted as a function of time, described the typical behavior obtained for protein-like biopolymers 28 characterized by values in the range typical of food-stabilizing proteins.29 The role played by soluble proteins in promoting and by coffee oil in inhibiting coffee foam volume and foam stability has been also reported by Saliba and Ayoub.30 In order to avoid possible influence of the extraction conditions on coffee foam positive compounds, D’Agostina et al.31 isolated TFF, FFA, and FFB directly from a defatted espresso obtained under strictly controlled brewing conditions using a pure arabica coffee blend. Chemical composition and physicochemical properties were found to be in reasonable agreement with findings of Navarini and Petracco26 and Petracco et al.27 The three foaming fractions have been also organoleptically tested. FFA has been found to be essentially tasteless whereas all panelists agreed that FFB has an intense coffee aroma and persistent bitter taste.31 Due to the higher foam promoting activity of FFB, this fraction was further subfractionated by means of solid phase extraction on C18 cartridges and subsequent elution with different water/methanol mixtures. Four subfractions (FFB-1–FFB-4) were obtained but only the first two, more hydrophilic, were characterized. FFB-1 showed no foamability, whereas FFB-2, slightly more hydrophobic (elution with 50% methanol), was very effective both in foam formation and stabilization.

II. Child Tobacco Workers in the United States The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimates that hundreds of thousands of children under age 18 work in US agriculture each year, but there is no comprehensive estimate of the number of child farmworkers in the US. In 2012, farm operators reported directly hiring 130,232 children under age 18 to work on crop and livestock farms, and an additional 388,084 children worked on the farms on which they resided. [22] However, these figures significantly underrepresent the total number of children working in agriculture as they exclude children hired by farm labor contractors or employed informally. [23] The total number of children who work on tobacco farms each year is also unknown. [24] Child Tobacco Workers The children interviewed by Human Rights Watch for this report were overwhelmingly of Hispanic ethnicity. Many children we interviewed were US citizens, consistent with the findings of a 2013 pilot study of North Carolina child farmworkers in which 78 percent were US citizens. Other children we interviewed were born outside of the United States and had migrated from other countries with their families, or in some instances, by themselves. Regardless of the immigration status of children, the parents of most children interviewed for this report were living in the US without authorization. Child tobacco workers interviewed by Human Rights Watch described working in a diversity of circumstances. The vast majority worked for hire, employed by official or unofficial farm labor contractors, labor subcontractors, or tobacco growers. A small number of children that we interviewed worked on farms owned by family members. Most of the children who stated that they worked on family farms also worked for hire on farms owned by other tobacco growers. Most children interviewed by Human Rights Watch resided in states where tobacco was grown and worked on farms near their homes. These children overwhelmingly attend public school full time in their communities, often working primarily, or exclusively, during the summer months. The median age at which children we interviewed began working in tobacco was 13. Some of these children worked together with their parents and siblings; others worked without their parents, sometimes with crews composed almost entirely of children. Many seasonal child farmworkers in North Carolina told Human Rights Watch that they worked in tobacco as well as other crops including, variously, sweet potatoes, blueberries, cucumbers, and watermelons.

Key elements of an SDP or equivalent business case include: (i) An overview of program rationale (including purpose and need); (ii) a service and operations plan, and a prioritized capital investment plan for infrastructure, fleet and stations/facilities; and (iii) an implementation approach, including schedule, project management plan, stakeholder agreements, and a financial plan for funding both capital and operations. See Appendix 2.1 for a summary of expectations for a SDP. Track 2 programs will generally address infrastructure, equipment and stations/facilities investments in a comprehensive fashion. While these programs are the most complicated and need a particularly rigorous project management approach, Track 2 programs represent the long-term emphasis of the HSIPR Program, and thus FRA expects to focus its collaborative efforts on this Track. The Federal funding share can be up to 100 percent, although evaluation criteria favor projects that leverage federal funding with non-federal investments. 1.6.3 Track 3--Service Planning Activities funded under the FY 2009 and FY 2008 DOT Appropriations Acts (``Track 3--Planning'') This track is aimed at helping establish a pipeline of future High- Speed Rail/Intercity Passenger Rail projects and service development programs by advancing planning activities for applicants at an earlier stage of the development process. Under Track 3, FRA will enter into cooperative agreements for preparation of SDPs, State Rail Plans and service-level environmental documents.\5\ This Track provides States an opportunity to complete the prerequisite work needed to submit applications under Tracks 1 and 2, so that applicants may be ready for potential future solicitations. Under the terms of the FY 2008/2009 DOT Appropriations acts, planning activities funded under this Track require a 50 percent non-Federal match. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ Project-level NEPA documents are eligible for funding under Tracks 1 and 2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.6.4 Track 4--FY2009 Appropriations-Funded Projects (``Track 4--FY2009 Appropriations Projects'') \6\ Track 4 provides an alternative for projects that would otherwise fit under Track 1, but for State applicants offering at least a 50 percent non-Federal share of financing. This Track offers applicants simplified grant agreement terms, and up to five years to complete projects (vs. two years under Track 1). Applicants providing at least a 50-percent project match are strongly encouraged to submit project applications under Track 4 (those submitting project application(s) under Track 4 may also request concurrent consideration of such application(s) under Track 1).

Darcs is a distributed revision control system written in Haskell. In Darcs, every copy of your source code is a full repository, which allows for full operation in a disconnected environment, and also allows anyone with read access to a Darcs repository to easily create their own branch and modify it with the full power of Darcs’ revision control. Darcs is based on an underlying theory of patches, which allows for safe reordering and merging of patches even in complex scenarios. For all its power, Darcs remains a very easy to use tool for every day use because it follows the principle of keeping simple things simple. Our most recent release, Darcs 2.5.2, was in March 2011. The Darcs 2.5.x line provides faster repository-local operations, and faster record with long patch histories, among other bug fixes and features. The most recent version adds compatibility with Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.0. We are currently working on releasing Darcs 2.8, which will include Alexey Levan’s 2010 Google Summer of Code work on optimised darcs get (using the “optimize –http” command) and a few refinements to Adolfo Builes’ cache reliability work. The Darcs 2.8 release is planned to include a faster and more human-readable annotate command. Meanwhile, we are happy to have been able to participate in the Google Summer of Code 2011 (as part of Haskell.org). We had two projects this year, one to develop a a bidirectional bridge between Darcs and Git (and potentially other VCSs), and the other to do some new exploratory work on primitive patch types for a future Darcs 3. The bridge project will improve collaboration between Darcs and Git users, allowing each to contribute to projects hosted in the other’s VCS of choice. The primitive patches work will allow us to implement some ideas we have been discussing in the Darcs team in recent months, in particular, separation of file dentifiers from file names and the separation of on-disk patch contents from their in-memory representation. Making a prototype implementation of these ideas will give us a better idea how feasible they are in practice and help us to identify the technical difficulities that may be lurking around the corner. Both projects were succesful; see below for their respective wrap-ups and prototypes. Darcs is free software licensed under the GNU GPL (version 2 or greater).

Melania Trump with Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr, who some foreign businesses and leaders will want to cozy up to. Credit:AP Trump has said he intends to penalise China for its trade policies. That could prompt the Bank of China, owned by the Chinese government, to threaten to pull its loans that are financing Trump buildings. If so, would the president back down? Likewise, Trump knows that Deutsche Bank financing is important to his business. The bank, even before Trump takes office, is reported to be in trouble. What happens if the Treasury Department recommends that the US government decline to prop it up? A major European bank failure could have an adverse impact on Trump's real estate investments across the board. If he decides to rescue Deutsche Bank (even if that is the "right" policy decision), it will appear as if he did so to benefit his business interests. Neither of those scenarios requires any leaps of imagination; they are right out of today's news. But, say that Trump is sworn in as president and remains the owner of a vast business run by his children. Some foreign businesses and foreign leaders will want to cozy up to the Trump family, because that is how they are used to doing business and conducting foreign policy. The children will get a raft of proposals for new hotels and golf courses and other investments in places that will offer very favourable terms: cheap land, no red tape in the permitting process, low-interest loans for construction, a guaranteed large management fee in return for the Trump name on the new enterprise. Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner met Japanese PM Shinzo Abe on Friday. Mr Trump's three adult children will operate his businesses while he's in office. His children will face extraordinary challenges in sorting through which of these sweetheart deals are offered for "genuine business purposes" and which come with strings attached. They won't necessarily know which are market-based and which are designed to build goodwill with the man who owns the company - and who will reap all the profits personally.

I had never seen a jet fighter before and when a Schwalbe flew overhead, I heard the guzzing sound of a jet engine for the first time. This was going to be spectacular!Hauptmann Tierfelder didn't waste too much time getting to know me. We made acquaintance and he immediately sent me off for theory courses. I learned the engines of the Me-262 were fragile as hell. They didn't spool up fast and they didn't turn off fast so I have to keep my engine RPM in mind at all times. If I lost an engine I'd still be able to make it back to base and I wasn't allowed to fly into enemy territory. I learned that our Führer decided that these magnificent fighters should have been used as fighter bombers first. I was once again lost for words. With it's sleek lines, monstrous armament and jet engines, how could this beauty not be used to dominate the skies?It took me a while to get used to flying jets. I missed the vibrations of an inline engine, it smelled differently, I missed having a propeller right in front of my nose and I missed the story the engine tried to tell me. With more luck than skill I managed to finish my first couple of test flights but I couldn't help but notice that the 262 was so unwieldy on the final approach. Perhaps that was the reason why those FW-190Ds were flying overhead. I felt privileged, I never had an escort when I landed or took to the skies. I guess test pilots really do get all the good stuff.Turns out we don't. In the first month we lost five pilots. The engines were a massive pain in the arse and the transition was tough as nails. We could barely survive in our new jets, let alone fly combat sorties in them. The attrition rate was horrifying, it almost felt like the Eastern Front all over again. Things were slowly improving for me however. The 262 became less of a handful and I slowly regained my intuition with the plane and I felt like for the first time, I was really in control.She still had her cringes and occasionally she really did want to kill me but my 262 would prove a formidable companion. A companion that I owed my life to.

“I think in the tradition of the Beatles and what my father did 50 years ago, the thing is to have no bias toward technology,” Martin says. “The thing about a record like this is, it’s actually them making the record. It’s not technology. The sounds on it are really good.” But as much as the retooled album pays homage to its own past, the finished product wouldn’t be possible without today’s music production tools. Recreating the multi-tape layering effect would be incredibly cumbersome if done solely on Abbey Road’s original machines. Even something as simple as adjusting the equalization–or EQ in more common parlance–on the drums is much easier to do today than it was back then. And it shows: Ringo Starr’s drums, especially the low-end of the kick drum, are louder and sometimes more central in the mix on this record. To check his gut one last time, Martin played the remixed songs for a group of what he calls “Beatles obsessives”–hardcore fans who know the material inside and out and will likely be its loudest critics if Martin misses the mark on anything. For Martin, the goal is to strike a balance between people like this and a new generation of listeners. “We live in this modern world of streaming, where a kid is going to put this next to Kendrick Lamar and it should bump onto the speakers,” Martin says, acknowledging how dramatically music consumption has changed since the days when kids lined up at brick-and-mortar stores to buy new LPs. Somehow, he must appeal to the modern-day equivalent of those kids, while keeping an older generation of fans satisfied enough to plunk down their money one more time. “George Harrison was 24 when they did Sgt. Pepper,” Martin says. “If we can get the youth and the energy to burst through the speakers as they did when they recorded it, that will always be there. Even if it is 50 years old.”

Method Analysis sample and study design 746 Danish soldiers belonging to one of the Danish Contingents of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) deployed to Afghanistan volunteered to answer questionnaires regarding symptoms of PTSD together with other measures of health and risk factors on six waves of measurement before, during, and after deployment to Afghanistan. All respondents had been deployed to Afghanistan for a six month period including three weeks leave midway through the deployment (Andersen et al., 2014; Berntsen et al., 2012; Danish Defence, 2013). The present analysis included the group of soldiers (n = 445 including 5% females) from the data set (N = 746), who answered both the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO FFI) and the Posttraumatic Disorder Checklist Civilian Version (PCL-C) 5–6 weeks prior to deployment to Afghanistan and then answered the PCL-C again 2.5 years after homecoming. To include combat exposure and other mission related stressors in the analysis the measurement wave 1–3 weeks after homecoming was included in order to measure the impact of these factors. In summary, there were three waves of measurement in total that were included in the analysis: 5–6 weeks before deployment, 1–3 weeks after homecoming, and 2.5 years after homecoming. The participants answered the questionnaires during group sessions at different military camps in Denmark at all three waves of measurement, and those who could not attend the sessions in any of the military camps responded via email. The response rate from baseline measurement before deployment to the measurement at homecoming was reduced by 6.4% and by 12.5% at the measurement 2.5 years after homecoming (N = 746). An overall analysis of the response rates found no significant differences between the soldiers that answered the questionnaires before deployment, at homecoming and 2.5 years after homecoming (Danish Defence, 2013). All respondents during the last data collection were given a gift certificate worth 500 DKR for their participation, since the majority of them were in civil jobs or undergoing civil education and therefore were using their free time to participate. The survey was performed according to the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (World Medical Association, 2000).

– Much of this series has been about managing yourself by understanding the music business, then using that understanding to create value around your music to attract a manager. Musicians without managers don’t often think of themselves as the de facto managers, and by now you now why this is unsustainable. Managers are rare and getting rarer as self-managed bands at smaller scales become more common. Good managers are even more rare. Ideally you want someone who has demonstrated some success with a band that shares similarities with yours. If you don’t know where to start, just make a list of bands that are a bit more successful than yours and figure out who their managers are. You can also enlist business- or tech-savvy friends and fans to manage all or part of your business, if you trust them and their abilities. Remember, you are always the manager, it’s just a question of whether you spend all of your time managing, or whether you delegate those tasks to a manager. Some bands have one manager for business and one manager for operations. The bottom line is “manager” is not a black-and-white term, and you should be resourceful in figuring out who to hire. Remember, you’re looking to hire a manager, but they are only going to want to take the job if they see value or potential value in your music. Booking Agent – You need one of these to have a great tour. They’re easier to get in touch with and more plentiful than managers, but again, they want to see value in your music. To them, that means packing venues and growing audiences. You’re looking for a booking agent on your level — if you’re just getting friends and family to show up to shows, you probably don’t need a booking agent. The second you’re able to draw a decent crowd, ask all the bands you know for references and demonstrate your value by committing to play a big show for free, or a little show where you can draw big and look great. You get what you give.

After the analyses for that book were completed, the database underlying it was extended by Clifford Staples and then slightly altered for new purposes by Adam Schneider for use on this web site. In particular, this enlarged database includes the directors of companies not in the Fortune 500, the trustees of foundations and universities, and the members of governmental advisory committees. Thus, the findings in the book and in this document are not strictly comparable. They are very similar in many instances, and we included some analyses here that were also in the book, but overall the findings are not exactly the same. Second, those who make use of this database, either on this site or in their own software, must keep in mind that this is the power elite in one slice of time: 2011-2012. Since then, many people in the database may have dropped or added affiliations (or died), and new people may have been added as directors or trustees. A few of the organizations might no longer exist (in the case of failed corporations, or two companies that have merged). For any given year, however, this is basically what the American power elite looks like in terms of the organizations on which it is based and the kind of people that are part of it, as can be demonstrated by comparing the results using this database with many earlier studies using smaller or more specialized databases, as summarized in other documents on this website and in the various editions of Who Rules America? since 1998. Because this database is for general research purposes, it wouldn't add much, if anything, to constantly update it. Furthermore, that would be an unending, time-consuming, expensive process, and one that is best left to business magazines and Web sites that have more resources than we do. However, there is information from 2010 to 2012 that might be added that would make the current database more useful for future research, such as campaign finance information for 2010 and 2012. It's also likely that some readers may know some useful information of which we are unaware. From the corporate network to the corporate community The database started with the Fortune 500 companies for 2010 and their directors for 2011. The next step added the names of the 400 richest Americans for 2011, compiled annually since 1984 by Forbes and marketed as the "Forbes 400."

Acknowledging that the substance has killed people because “it’s a drug; it’s not safe,” he says that its chemical makeup and effects make molly the ideal festival drug. “It lasts three or four hours, it makes you dance, hear the music wonderfully, it helps you feel a sense of closeness and connection with people and a lack of self-judgment.” Merely explaining its effects without endorsing it is obviously difficult (“I’m not evangelizing it, and I wouldn’t want my comments to presented in that light,” he says), but a slight analogy could be drawn to marijuana: While “overdoses” of weed derivatives like edibles haven’t directly caused anyone’s death, they have certainly caused significant psychological distress. At least ecstasy wouldn’t be mistaken for a candy bar.

“It is our privilege to fund these studies, which are likely to save many patients,” Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel said on Monday. “This is further proof that agriculture is an important foundation for every field of life, including life-saving medicines, and I welcome this step.”While the subject of medical cannabis is still relatively young and controversial both in Israel and around the world, its use for therapeutic purposes is continually gaining popularity, a statement from the ministry explained.Numerous studies have been published confirming the positive effects of cannabis on one hand, and the potential risks and damages on the other hand, the ministry said.“The growth of the cannabis plant for medical use must comply with strict and appropriate quality demands from an agricultural perspective, which are suitable for a plant product intended for medical use,” the statement said. “Therefore, agricultural research is the first critical step toward characterizing and creating agricultural methods for implementing the growth of cannabis for medical use.”After publishing a call for research proposals in collaboration with the country’s Health Ministry, Agriculture Ministry chief scientist Avi Perl selected 13 projects to receive funding.Seven of the projects are in the fields of biochemistry and medicine, covering topics like the detection and characterization of new materials in strains of medical cannabis, the involvement of cannabis in both visual function and colon cancer and the use of strains in treating multiple sclerosis. Other projects explore the effect of cannabis on metabolic syndrome, the ability of cannabis to prevent organ rejection after transplants and the use of the plant to inhibit the development of harmful bacteria.In addition to financing the research in biochemistry and medicine, the Agriculture Ministry funds will go to six projects aiming to improve the growth of cannabis plants.These projects involve developing technologies for optimal irrigation and fertilization, combating diseases and pests specific to cannabis and honing methods for planting and reproducing cannabis.Also receiving funding is work on the biotechnological and genetic engineering aspects of cannabis growth, as well as the establishment of a national genetic database for medicinal cannabis plants.Around the world, medical cannabis use is becoming increasingly popular and is only expected to rise in years to come.

Impacts on fusion research Matthews lives near the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, in Abingdon, just outside Oxford. It's home to the Joint European Torus (JET), the main European fusion research centre. “For Abingdon, this is a serious issue for employment,” he said. “It affects local high-tech businesses.” At some point, JET is going to be replaced by a new, larger fusion centre in Cadarache, France: ITER, formerly the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. However, that will not be up and running until the mid-2020s. “It was planned that Culham would be infilling for ITER until then,” said Matthews. “No one knows what’s going to happen now.” The UK has pledged to continue to fund JET until at least 2020, but that depends on the EU agreeing to extend its contract, which expires in 2018. What’s more, Britain has a large high-tech industry around fusion research and was going to be a significant contributor to ITER. “We were expecting to get about half a billion euros’ [about £440 million] worth of contracts from ITER,” said Cashmore. “We have a certain level of technical know-how. If we come out of Euratom we lose access to bidding for those contracts.” The UKAEA is lobbying ministers to establish another way of associating with ITER and Fusion For Energy (F4E), the European fusion agency. But so far it is not clear that one will exist. “Leaving Euratom puts large question marks over the research,” said Cashmore, “but it’s also cutting off investment to this high-tech industry.” Mackerron was less concerned, saying that other countries outside Euratom, such as Japan and Australia, are part of the ITER collaboration. “I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be possible for the UK to gain a similar sort of status to those,” he said. Leaving the EU has had wider implications for British nuclear research, not just fusion. Martin Freer, director of the Birmingham Centre for Nuclear Education and Research at the University of Birmingham, told BuzzFeed News that about 25% of his department’s funding comes through European channels. He also said that as well as the risk of losing that funding, access to collaborative projects such as ITER will become more difficult. “European partners will look more within the EU for those partners,” he said.

"Offensive line, they're the ones that get punished more than anybody by the rule changes. "Ali Marpet, the Bucs' second-year guard who came from Division III Hobart, said his head spun from the volume of information thrown at him when he arrived. He needed work on run-blocking, on keeping his balance. Still, he does not think more full-contact practice is necessary. "You need to learn to practice without the thud," he said. "If you're banging heads every practice every day, it's going to slow you down by the end of the season. "Alexander, in Cincinnati, does not yearn for the old days, either. He recalls them -- the two-a-days, in full pads, every day until training camp ended. He also recalls that when he worked for the Jets, they played a game against the Eagles when Buddy Ryan was the coach and Philly had a full padded practice the morning of the game. He doesn't know if more players got hurt then than now, but he also believes enough teaching can be done in the classroom to make up for it. "We have so many OTA practices and offseason programs that if you can't get it taught in all those practices, something's wrong," Alexander said. "I think you have gone through it in the classroom, you've walked through it, things are done right more often. There is more value in doing something right. "Still, Stephen Jones, who sits on the Competition Committee, concedes limited practice time presents a challenge. And he said changing the practice restrictions is something the committee will debate. "Obviously, it is very sensitive with the players," Jones said. "There are probably some things you can do to make it better. Players have to be trusting coaches aren't going to abuse it. There is probably a middle ground that could be good. There's no question teams and coaches wish they had more time with the players, it's just a matter that coaches aren't going to take it too far. Ninety percent of people do it right. Then you have some outliers that abuse it and then you have a problem on your hands. That's what we have to figure out: How do we prevent abuse of overworking players but at the same time getting work in to develop these young players? "That is a possible solution to one of the concerns with the offensive line.

Each diffusion dataset was first corrected of distortions caused by inhomogeneities in the magnetic field using the fieldmaps. This was done using software developed by the UCSD Center for fMRI. The resulting diffusion-weighted volumes were then subjected to a quantitative quality control evaluation using DTIprep (Liu et al., 2010). DTIprep corrects motion artifacts where possible, and excludes directions from the data when correction is not possible. For each subject, the two diffusion-weighted volumes with the fewest number of excluded directions were chosen for further processing. The b0 volumes of both diffusion scans were then affine registered to the T 1 -volume in stereotaxic space using the Oxford University FMRIB Software Library's (FSL) flirt (Jenkinson and Smith, 2001), and the resultant transforms used to align the two 4D volumes; the rotational component was applied to the directional vectors. The two were then merged using FSL's fslmerge. The merged volume was then preprocessed for probablistic tractography with FSL's bedpostx (Behrens et al., 2007). Probabilistic tractography, utilizing FSL's probtrackx with distance-bias correction (Behrens et al., 2003, 2007), was then seeded from 10,000 random locations within each voxel of the seed masks to generate the number of tracts connecting voxels in the target mask. A native-scale 4D diffusion volume was generated using the same procedure, but with the scaling component removed from the transforms; this was processed in the same way to generate the lengths of the connections between voxels in the target mask. These results were then compiled for each AAL region generating matrices of the total number of connections between each pair of AAL regions, and the mean length of those connections. The total number of connections between each pair of AAL regions was then divided by the mean size of the two AAL regions to provide an index of the strength of connectivity between pairs of regions.

The positive input current \( I_+ \) has a gain of \( -(R_1 || R_3) = -\frac{R_1R_3}{R_1+R_3} \) to become offset voltage, and then gets multiplied by the noise gain \( \frac{R_4}{R_2} + 1 \). The negative input current \( I_- \) is easier to figure out the gain on the circuit output: it's just R 4 . Adding these terms up, we get: \( \Delta V_\text{out} = (\frac{R_4}{R_2}+1)\left(V_\text{os} - \frac{R_1R_3}{R_1+R_3}I_+\right) + R_4I_- \) \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K(1-\delta)\right)\left(V_\text{os} - \frac{R_1R_3}{R_1+R_3}I_+\right) + R_4I_- \) \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K(1-\delta)\right)\left(V_\text{os} - \frac{1}{1+R_3/R_1}R_3I_+\right) + R_4I_- \) \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K(1-\delta)\right)\left(V_\text{os} - \frac{1}{1+K(1+\delta)}R_3I_+\right) + R_4I_- \) And here we need one more leap of intuition. The gain mismatch term \( \delta \) only covers the difference between \( \frac{R_3}{R_1} \) and \( \frac{R_4}{R_2} \). We don't have anything that describes the mismatch in impedance in the + terminals and the - terminals; we could multiply R 1 and R 3 by 10 and it would not affect signal gains, but it will have an effect on the way input currents show up in the output voltage. Let's define \( R_f = \frac{R_3 + R_4}{2} \) and \( \epsilon = \frac{R_3 - R_4}{2R_f} \), so that we can write \( R_3 = R_f \left(1+\epsilon\right) \) and \( R_4 = R_f \left(1-\epsilon\right) \). \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K(1-\delta)\right)\left(V_\text{os} - \frac{1}{1+K(1+\delta)}R_f\left(1+\epsilon\right)I_+\right) + R_f\left(1-\epsilon\right)I_- \) \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K(1-\delta)\right)V_\text{os} - \frac{1 + K(1-\delta)}{1+K(1+\delta)}R_f\left(1+\epsilon\right)I_+ + R_f\left(1-\epsilon\right)I_- \) \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K(1-\delta)\right)V_\text{os} - \frac{1 + K(1-\delta)}{1+K(1+\delta)}R_f\left(1+\epsilon\right)\left(I_\text{cm} + \frac{1}{2}I_\text{dm}\right) + R_f\left(1-\epsilon\right)\left(I_\text{cm} - \frac{1}{2}I_\text{dm}\right) \) Oh, horrors! We're in Grungy Algebra! again. It's not so bad, really. We're going to run into the same fractions a couple of times, so let's define \( A = 1 - \frac{1 + K(1-\delta)}{1+K(1+\delta)} = \frac{2K\delta}{1+K(1+\delta)} \) and \( B = 1 + \frac{1 + K(1-\delta)}{1+K(1+\delta)} = \frac{2 + K}{1+K(1+\delta)} \). \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K(1-\delta)\right)V_\text{os} + \left(A - B\epsilon\right)R_fI_\text{cm} + \frac{1}{2}\left( A\epsilon - B\right)R_fI_\text{dm} \) \( \Delta V_\text{out} = \left(1 + K - K\delta\right)V_\text{os} + \frac{2K\delta - (2+K)\epsilon}{1+K(1+\delta)}R_fI_\text{cm} - \frac{1}{2} \frac{2K\delta\epsilon - (2+K)}{1+K(1+\delta)}R_fI_\text{dm} \)

…And if I win my election in Parliament, you’ve got a very strong, unshakeable ally who is going to work hard to get you involved in all the institutions of the State and get you the exposure you need and the people in Parliament need to us... Like I said from the very beginning, 95 per cent of what you want to campaign against, we’re with you. So if we can work together in the next six or seven weeks, there are a couple of people from Dudley, if we give them a small salary, they can work with us. …If we can work together, get a couple of people from within Dudley who can help us campaign… listen to the media or listen to the ideas that we’ve got between us, it will help a lot to win that vote over and make us a solid, strong constituency. Two people to work with us … more or less full time, five or six days a week, whatever they can manage and help us target within certain areas where we know EDL [have support]… …because I would love to arrive in Parliament and say, I won this seat because [of] you 3,000 white working class English voters that have never voted before. …if you manage to pull this off and I arrive in Parliament with the 3,000, 4,000 voters, I’d say to David Cameron, I’ve won this seat because we’ve reached out with our network to these people and… their views are [that] they don’t want to see mega mosques in Dudley. If you could announce it [the march] for May 2, which is the last Saturday before the Election, maybe they’ll get really upset and worked up and then about two weeks before that we do a press conference and we say we’re not doing... well, YOU say you’re not doing the demonstration. Everyone is very, very happy. EDL have become reasonable… Afzal Amin to deliver the resolution. The two conversations were between Afzal Amin, Conservative candidate for the knife-edge seat of Dudley North, and former leader of far-Right English Defence League Tommy Robinson (pictured) Tommy Robinson: I like that. ...You know you said that you can pay two lads on the ground, how much will you pay them? AA: Yeah, the easiest thing is this, you pay them cash and you… You handle them… What they need to do is come and volunteer on our campaign.

Indeed, electricity produced by new utility-scale solar facilities these days can be as cheap or cheaper than electricity from new conventional coal-fired or natural gas-fired facilities. Government support has helped lead to this “price parity,” but increasingly solar energy can compete without state or federal incentives. The utility-scale solar boom is resounding globally. A just-completed 648-megawatt plant in the southern India state of Tamil Nadu, said to be the world’s largest, will power up to 150,000 homes; it will soon be topped by a 750-megawatt solar plant under construction to the north in Madhya Pradesh. China has been building solar at a furious pace, accounting for nearly half of the 76-plus gigawatts added worldwide in 2016. Utility-scale solar is poised to take off in Australia this year, with 11 new facilities being built across four states, and large projects are in the works everywhere from a behemoth 1.18-gigawatt installation in the United Arab Emirates, to a 180-megawatt facility in Peru. Even Ukraine’s radioactive wasteland at Chernobyl may soon be the site of a massive 2-gigawatt solar farm. With more than $20 billion invested in the U.S., the solar pipeline is now at an all-time high, according to a new analysis by GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). Nearly 18 gigawatts of upcoming utility-scale projects are currently under contract in the U.S., meaning plant operators have signed power-purchase agreements and the facilities are highly likely to be completed in the next two to three years. This surge of large solar energy installations will nearly double the roughly 5 million U.S. homes now powered by utility-scale solar.

Note: Updated questions and answers here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/320240/discussions/0/1496741765123851173/ Hi everyone,Since we made our announcement about increasing the scope of the game, coming to retail, and partnering with Gearbox, we’ve had a large number of people come into the forum to protest against Gearbox specifically. This is making it difficult to talk about the game itself with our community (to improve the game with feedback as we always do), so we are condensing all feedback into this single thread.From now on, we’ll be closing all Gearbox threads and redirecting people here. This will remain stickied and can be a centralised place to give your feedback. We’re also adding a bunch of questions and answers, as many people voicing their concern aren’t aware of the full story.In the meantime, please keep it civil and remember that everyone here (including people from Gearbox) is a human being.First, here is our announcement blog post. It answers everything, but we’ll summarise here for you as well. http://compulsiongames.com/en/news/138/we-are-coming-to-xbox-one-pc-and-ps4-on-april-13-2018! Because we reinvested in the game and in the studio. We decided to expand, to hire some of the best people in the industry, to bring the story to a new level of depth and sophistication. To make We Happy Few the best game it can be. You might be more comfortable paying this price for a Ubisoft game because of the name, but we’ve put a lot of work in our game over the past 3 years and we are proud of it. We have over 30,000 lines of dialogues, our animations are all hand made and the soundtrack is made by very cool bands specifically for the game.If you’re not sure it’s worth the price, please wait for reviews.We have no alternative. As the game is coming to retail, the price must be consistent across all platform. The Early Access is effectively a pre-order at this point, except that you can play the Early Access version of the game.If we were to close the Early Access then we wouldn’t be able to support our current players.We explain this more fully in the blog post, butDLC is a good way to keep working on a game after it is finished and to use our team efficiently.

I've spent my whole career trying toget OUT of pointless cleaning, but what did it take to finally get thatwarehouse floor at McGuire Air Force Base spotless?...the fact that no one wantsto smell you when you're going commando in camouflage. (3 years later at another base, I sent this story to a co-worker of mine Ididn't know previously was at McGuire AFB too. He came to tears from laughterwhile reading this and repeatedly kept saying, "I was there! I was fuckingthere!" He worked in the warehouse the night it happened and told me that forthe longest time, people there kept wondering who took a dump in the trash canbecause it stunk for days.)

Modern retail outlets like Big Bazaar run by the Future Group contribute a large chunk of sales for FMCG firms, including Nestle. "The samples (of Maggi) which were drawn from state's markets did not have any ingredients which are harmful," said Goa Food and Drug Administration's deputy director, Jyoti Sardesai.She said the samples were taken from the market and also from the North Goa-based Nestle factory. "The (results of) tests for monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead (have) come negative. The samples were produced (for testing) in Goa and in Punjab facility," Sardesai said.Maggi noodles has been at the centre of a raging storm after UP FDA tests found higher than stipulated levels of lead and MSG in it.However, Nestle India claimed it has got samples tested in an external laboratory as well as in-house and that the product was found "safe to eat".

Throughout his career, Botvinnik made significant contributions to chess theory, raising the level of preparation required of top players.July was a dominant force in the Broodwar scene from 2003-2005, breaking iloveoov's 25-0 winning streak against Zerg, and crushing his way through to several tournament victories, including two OSLs. Despite a subsequent slump, he recaptured his earlier form to win another starleague in 2008, thereby becoming the first Zerg to win a golden mouse. July's development of mutalisk micro remains one of the most important theoretical contributions to the game.One of the greatest chess talents was perhaps Mikhail Tal, a player with an unrivaled intuition for attacking play. Tal experienced a meteoric rise to the top of the chess world, going from a relative unknown in 1957 to winning the World Championship from Botvinnik in 1960 with his hyper-aggressive play. Sadly, however, from here forward his career was plagued by health issues, and though he made a few promising attempts to return to the pinnacle of chess, he never recaptured his early glories.In the world of Broodwar, GGPlay experienced a similarly rapid rise to the top, culminating in his 2007 DAUM OSL victory, highlighted by his singular defiler control . However, his play dramatically disintegrated after this, as he was crippled by carpal tunnel syndrome. Although in subsequent years he occasionally appeared to be on his way back to the top, he too never fully recovered his best form.This was a golden era for both Chess and Broodwar, and it played host to a pantheon of great talents, many of whom went on to compete at the top level for many years.Chess was not ready for what came next. Nor was Broodwar.After a relatively stable period, both games were about to be rocked by perhaps their greatest talents - and certainly their greatest tragedies. Enter sAviOr . Enter Bobby Fischer.In a climate where Zerg was considered hopelessly underpowered, sAviOr’s stupendous run of five consecutive MSL finals (3 victories) and an OSL victory was unprecedented. Winning with ridiculous ease against all races, he completely redefined the way Zerg is played.Similarly, Fischer fought the odds to take down the Russians single-handedly.

Gardner and others have divided PAS into mild, moderate and severe levels. The number and severity of the eight symptoms displayed increase through the different levels. The recommendations for management differ according to the severity level of the child's symptoms. While a diagnosis of PAS is made based on the child's symptoms, Gardner stated that any change in custody should be based primarily on the symptom level of the alienating parent. [25] In mild cases, there is some parental programming against the targeted parent, but little or no disruption of visitation, and Gardner did not recommend court-ordered visitation. In moderate cases, there is more parental programming and greater resistance to visits with the targeted parent. Gardner recommended that primary custody remain with the programming parent if the brainwashing was expected to be discontinued, but if not, that custody should be transferred to the targeted parent. In addition, therapy with the child to stop alienation and remediate the damaged relationship with the targeted parent was recommended. In severe cases, children display most or all of the 8 symptoms, and will refuse steadfastly to visit the targeted parent, including threatening to run away or commit suicide if the visitation is forced. Gardner recommended that the child be removed from the alienating parent's home into a transition home before moving into the home of the targeted parent. In addition, therapy for the child is recommended. [23][25] Gardner's proposed intervention for moderate and severe PAS, including court-ordered transfer to the alienated parent, fines, house arrest, incarceration, have been critiqued for their punitive nature towards the alienating parent and alienated child, and for the risk of abuse of power and violation of their civil rights. [26][27] With time, Gardner revised his views and expressed less support for the most aggressive management strategies. [26]

They will be the first country to enter a world made by hand. They were very good at it before about 1850 and had a pre-industrial culture of high artistry and grace.”Well, time will tell.InI argued for the central importance of coming up with a new paradigm for civilization. Thirty years later, in, I laid out, unsurprisingly enough, the reasons for why America failed, and said that it was primarily because throughout American history we marginalized or ignored the voices that argued against the dominant culture, which is based on hustling, aggrandizement, and economic and technological expansion. This alternative tradition can be traced from John Smith in 1616 to Jimmy Carter in 1979, and includes folks such as Emerson, Thoreau, Lewis Mumford, Jane Jacobs, Vance Packard, and John Kenneth Galbraith, among many others. In England it is particularly associated with John Ruskin and William Morris, who argued for the need for organic communities with a spiritual purpose, for work that was meaningful rather than mind-numbing, and who did manage to acquire a large number of North American disciples. In, Joel Magnuson states that we need concrete models of a post-carbon economy, ones that break with the profit model of capitalism—and not in cosmetic or rhetorical ways. He gives a number of examples of experiments in this vein, ones that I would term elements of a steady-state or homeostatic economy: no-growth, or de-growth, as some have called it. This does not, it seems to me, necessarily mean a return to some type of feudalism; in this regard, I see history resembling a spiral rather than a circle. A more immediate danger is what has been called “greenwashing,” in which you adopt the language of the environmental movement while retaining the principle of unlimited economic expansion. The apostles of green capitalism, such as Al Gore or Thomas Friedman, have gotten very wealthy from peddling this type of hip baloney; and Magnuson, when he was doing the research for his book, toured the United States only to find that there were a good number of enterprises that billed themselves as committed to environmental protection and community service, but which in reality were about capital accumulation and little else. This is a danger that serious promoters of Dual Process will need to be on guard against.Let me conclude on a larger note.

REEDLEY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Reedley police are looking for two men who shot a two-year-old boy Wednesday night. The shooting happened on the east side of Reedley at around eight o'clock.The mom of two broke down as we talked about the toddler in Reedley who was shot in the foot and injured in the head about a block away from her home Wednesday night. She did not want to be identified. "It's scary. It's always scary and it sucks that it was a two-year-old. "The shooting happened near east Duff Avenue and south Carolyn Lane. Police said the two-year-old boy's mom was here visiting her boyfriend at his home. It was when the boyfriend stepped inside to get something that two men walked up to the car, firing two rounds of gunfire. "Is our belief at this time that the woman that was in the vehicle and the child were obviously unintended victims. Obviously this is a case that is very tragic. No child should ever be involved in anything like this," said Joe Garza, Reedley Police Chief.Police said the incident is gang related and it comes seven years after a judge signed a gang injunction for Reedley. Shortly after that about 150 gang members were ordered by police to not hang out together.City Manger Nicole Zieba tells us since then Reedley has become one of the safest cities in Fresno County. "We have, for the last five or six years, seen very little gang activity with in our city limits. So we take incidents like this extraordinarily seriously. We will be investigating this, we will find out who did this, and they will be prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. "Parents agree that gang violence is nowhere near what is used to be, but they still live in fear of what could happen to their families. "It's hard to let them play out in the front yard without having that wonder if somebody could come by out of spite to hurt somebody else," said the mother of two.Now the toddler who was taken to the hospital by his mother is expected to make a full recovery.Police said the two suspects-- who they need your help finding-- took off in what is described as a dark colored sedan. null

Needless to say, Amerindians were the first inhabitants of territories that came to be identified as "Canada" only through the establishment of French and Anglo institutions during the 1600s to 1800s. But the "first peoples", the Hurons, Algonquins, Cree, Iroquois, and others, were organized in tribes spread over territories that can in no way be identified as part of "Canada" before Europeans arrived. They were territories actually contiguous with the United States rather than neatly located within Canada. Only in retrospect, through the European science of geography, have they been, and can be, demarcated in the continent of North America for pedagogical instruction, but not as actually existing tribal nations with definite geographical boundaries, since none of these tribes were organized as nations with marked boundaries.European geographers, not the Amerindians, have classified the natives of Canada in terms of six cultural areas, "Northwest Coast", "Plateau", "Plains", "Subarctic", "Arctic", and "Northeast". Indians had an intimate knowledge of the land, the soil, migration pathways of animals, weather, location of rivers, lakes, mountains, upon which the first European settlers and fur traders relied for survival. It was the Europeans, however, who mapped these territories and eventually created our modern institutions from the ground up.It is extremely anachronistic and misleading to tell students that these tribal groups were members of a multicultural Canada. The French and English, for one, inhabited separate cultural lives, and in respect to the Natives, they inhabited totally different worlds. Their interactions with Natives are best described as interactions between separate peoples, commercial and military interactions, which affected both sides, but which essentially involved the modernizing encroachment of the Anglo-French side upon the Native cultures, leading to a situation in which, by the time of Confederation in 1867, only 1 percent of the racial population of Canada was Amerindian.This reduction was of course tragic for the Aboriginals. But it is only by identifying them as a separate people that we can acknowledge their distinctive heritage instead of falsely assimilating them into a "multicultural Canada" as co-creators of a nation that only became multicultural in 1971 and in which, to this day, most Natives remain apart.It is outlandish forandto tell students that "in 1867" the Natives peoples were one of the three "major groups" that made up "Canada's multicultural society" (, third edition, p. 1).
