In his version of the visits to the paper - there was more than one visit - the Journal's night editor could not see that a great scoop had landed his desk. People on duty at the paper that evening recalled the episode differently. The Russian, they said, spread no documents across a reporter's desk, appeared petrified with fright, spoke broken English with a thick Russian accent, and was virtually incoherent. (14) Whatever in fact happened at the Journal that evening matters less than how it was that Igor finally managed to end up in RCMP custody when neither the Russians nor the Canadian prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King wanted him there, and so played a key role in terminating the political career of Fred Rose. On the morning of the following day, 6 September, Gouzenko, his wife Svetlana and infant son Andrei were sitting in the outer office of Louis St. Laurent, the Minister of Justice. Norman Robertson, a Mackenzie King adviser and confidant, had been told that Gouzenko was there and was threatening suicide. Did he know Igor was carrying a piece? Robertson wasted little time informing Mackenzie King that a Soviet defector, along with his wife and small son, were in the Justice Building seeking Canadian government protection. The prime minister's first instruction was to do nothing, that Gouzenko might be a "crank trying to preserve his own life." Robertson, whose view of the defection seemed from the beginning to differ substantially from that of the prime minister, had instructed the RCMP to keep a close eye on the Russian's movements. A former RCMP staff sergeant, Cecil Bayfield, told journalist John Sawatsky that in the late evening of 5 September 1945 information had been received about the Gouzenko defection, i.e. before Gouzenko found his way to the outer office of the Minister of Justice. (15) The following evening, 6 September, not that many hours after his unsuccessful attempt to alert Canadian authorities to the Soviet menace, Igor Gouzenko, his wife and child were welcomed in from the cold. In a 7 September statement to RCMP officers, Gouzenko described how very late the previous evening he'd heard the sound of an automobile pulling up in front of the apartment building. (16) The Russians had paid a visit to the apartment earlier, knocked on the apartment door, called out Gouzenko's name and departed.
It doesn’t take long to get back on track, both Jerry and Bob throw down some fierce guitar, and Phil plays like a man possessed throughout this entire song. Comin’ around! A gentle transition back into Cryptical allows Jerry to voice a couple of lines before they jam a bit on the new theme available to them. Definitely more laid back than the barrage that follow drums about 20 minutes earlier. The “you know he had to die” melody is played on repeat toward the end and it slowly, but surely morphs into the intro to Deal. Now that’s pretty cool.
I sat down next to the cabinets, took a short stack of issues into my lap and began going through them, one at a time, scanning the table of contents, flipping through, looking. I kept articles that interested me, or that gave me that sudden pang of “I don’t know a thing about that.” Here were articles by Anthony Burgess (on music and literature), Anthony Grafton, writing on the 400th anniversary of Descartes’s birth, and T.J. Jackson Lears, with a defense of Henry Adams and an essay called “The Rise of American Advertising,” published eleven years before his Fables of Abundance. In a 1999 issue, Edmund Wilson biographer Lewis M. Dabney interviewed Isaiah Berlin about Wilson. I set aside “The Death of David Crockett,” which promised to detail “one of the bloodier skirmishes of the academic culture wars.” A 1985 issue, meanwhile, offered “FDR and the ‘Secret Map,’” about a forgery concocted to prove that the Nazis planned to reapportion Central and South America. The document bore a striking resemblance to President Bush’s proof, also forged, that Saddam’s Iraq had purchased uranium yellowcake from Niger. I saved articles I thought Hadley would like to read, too, when we were home, when all this work was done. I pulled them out of the magazines, whole articles at a time, the binding glue still holding the pages together. It pained me to break up the collection, but it was the only way. If I found an article that Ruth had annotated, I saved that as well. We all were, I think, looking for those traces. Why, I wondered, had she underlined part of a sentence in an article about Singapore: “Somerset Maugham and Joseph Conrad,” it said, “found fertile ground for fiction in the ennui.” Had this confirmed something, or had it indicated a subject she wanted to read more about? Had she pursued that? No one knew.

Well, last night I was finally able to experience an entheogenic combination that I had been yearning to try for quite some time: 2C-B and Ketamine. I had very high hopes for this session, and I was not in any way disappointed. If anything, the experience exceeded my expectations in every way, allowing me one of the most intense journeys yet in my career as a psychonaut...One of the reasons that I had such a strong interest in trying this particular mix is because I had read that 2C-B can strongly enhance recall of the Ketamine experience. On a K-only trip, I normally have very little memory of the fine details of the journey. I usually am left with only the vaguest impressions of what happens once the process of dissolution of my individual identity and merging with the one is complete, as if there is not enough of 'me' left to retain the specifics of the experience from that point on. This can be rather frustrating...having a sense that one has been through an experience of cosmic proportions but not recalling what actually transpired. I found that pre-dosing with 2C-B allowed me to retain just enough of my individuality to enable me to bring much more back out of the K-hole.So last night I took 25 mg of 2C-B orally. 90 minutes later, as I felt its full effects begin to manifest, I gave myself an intramuscular injection of 100 mg Ketamine. I lay down, and within two or three minutes the now familiar onset of the K overtook me; a loud ringing in my ears, followed by a narrowing/contraction of my reality tunnel until the outside world and my physical body were utterly gone. Then, instead of the usual complete merge with pure consciousness, I found myself as a bodiless point of awareness and energy floating in the midst of what seemed to be a vast vaulted chamber. There was a sense of presence all around, as though I was surrounded by millions of others, although no one else could be seen. In the center of the chamber was a huge, pulsing, krishna-blue mass of seething energy that was shaped in a geometric, mandalic form. I had the sense that I had somehow stumbled into the blast furnace at the heart of the cosmos, the engine that drives the process of creating manifest reality out of the thoughts of the mind of god.

“That kind of chaos is not helpful to address gridlock problems here in the city of Toronto or in the GTA.” TTC CUTS REGULAR BUSES IN FAVOUR OF WHEEL-TRANS TTC riders on a 35 routes will see their off-peak service cut Feb. 12 after city councillors on the TTC board voted on Tuesday to allocate $5 million to maintain Wheel-Trans service for dialysis patients rather than restore off-peak buses. The $5 million was allocated by city council when it approved this year’s Toronto operating budget. Councillor Karen Stintz, who chairs the TTC board, disagreed with that decision to take $15 million from Toronto’s $154 million surplus and apply it to programs and services in the 2012 budget, including transit. She believes the money should have gone toward paying for the city’s new streetcars. Stintz also said she didn’t want to restore the off-peak buses only to take them away again next year because the funding wasn’t sustainable. The funding gives the TTC a year to negotiate a solution with the province to pay for dialysis Wheel Trans users.
The Phoenix Implant feels pleasantly warm and leaves a tingle across Bookwright's hoof. Arriving at the terminal, he starts poking at it for clues as to what happened to Get_Lost and Kid. The terminal greets Bookwright just as it did before, and offers up no additional secrets. Bookwright gives up in frustration. Nothing useful to be found out in here. He returns, hanging his head, "I'm sorry. I would never have suggested using these machines if I'd known what they'd do." He turns his attention to modules on the East Wing, searching for another terminal that might shed light on what just happened to Get Lost and Kid. The module marked Counseling is an intimate room with light wood paneling. There is a desk, a couch and several chairs, as well as a few shelves holding toys and books. A terminal glows softly on the desk. He begins to hack into it, Noble Heart and Kid joining him. > Good morning, Gentle Song. It is a beautiful day, is it not?
Radar is scary. It’s totally my fault that the Kamikaze is presently being sold on the North American server. I asked for this. The Kamikaze’s release comes on the heels of the IJN Destroyer changes, which saw the overhaul of the line. Its timing may be considered in poor taste. The Kamikaze and Minekaze were so similar. Now that the latter is changed, you have the privilege of spending money to buy the former. This will allow you to archive the style of game play you once so enjoyed. And let’s be clear right from the word go: The Kamikaze-class is overpowered in the current meta. She may have her weaknesses — particularly to carriers and well played gunships, but she remains far more powerful than is reasonable. I honestly didn’t expect the Kamikaze to be sold after patch 0.5.15. I wanted it out and available before the patch but I don’t get to make these decisions. But now that she is available, what do I think about her? On the one hand I’m glad that players are getting another chance to pick up a ship they may have passed over previously. On the other hand, I worry that some will see this as a high-pressure tactic to get players to open their wallets. The Kamikaze, Fujin and Kamikaze R will not be sold again going forward. So as much as I want as many players as possible to have access to what is an excellent trainer for their IJN Captains, for the good of the game, I am not sad to see them being removed. Would I R ecommend? Yes. This is an overpowered little monster. If you don’t like IJN Destroyer game play, she will not be for you. She struggles a bit in Co-Op as the bots can automatically home in on you (they will not shoot until you’re spotted, but they always know where you are). But you have the hitting power to sink just about anything those bots are sailing with six torpedo hits. Overall, this is the quintessential Japanese torpedo boat. She’ll become a rarity shortly. If you’re at all on the fence about her, pull the trigger. For Random Battle Grinding Absolutely. The Kamikaze-class over performs by a significant margin. This makes her an ideal craft for training Captains. With the proposed changes coming in 0.6.0, this would be a perfect ship to help train your other commanders.
I'm tired of being told that the reality of someone who is solely disabled by structural barriers is anywhere close to mine. I'm tired of my own internal battle, walking the fine line between cure and treating the parts of my impairments that make my life miserable. I'm tired of feeling like a bad crip for wanting my mental illnesses to go away and never return. I'm tired of not fitting anyone's idea of what disability should be.And so I can no longer support the social model of disability. Because though it is a good theory, though I have subscribed to it for as long as I've known what it was, it is not enough for me. It no longer fits my reality, as so many things have changed with my body and my disabilities over the years since I first discovered the social model. The radical model - though I identify with many of its values - is not for me either. Some impairments may be socially constructed - and there's a lot to be said with that about the medical profession and diagnoses - but mine is not. I am still impaired. I will always be impaired. And no amount of societal rearranging is going to change that.I don't know what model I subscribe to, now. I feel a bit adrift without a model to cling to. Maybe I'll create my own, though I have no idea what it would say. But the fact of the matter, my life does not fit into a neat box, whether that box is models of disability or disability itself. If and when I can somehow come up with a model I can support, I will let you know.Until then, I am an outsider, an activist with her own rules.....and you should probably watch out.
He said the government had made 27 representations to China in two years, and believed it had done everything it possibly could. The way the Chinese authorities have stubbornly failed to take account of this poor man's severe mental illness shows that China is still stuck in the dark ages
They make the proactive choice not to freak out about the lack of electricity. In fact, they embrace it. But then a young city slicker enters the town and disrupts their retro world.
“American Sniper” came out in January, 2012. Kyle wrote the book with two other people: Jim DeFelice, a novelist, and Scott McEwen, an attorney from San Diego, who brokered the deal. Even within the growing genre of commando memoirs, the book stood out for its casual, at times flippant, tone. (On rank: “Truth is, I never cared all that much about rank.” On officers: “Some are good, some are bad. And some are just pussies.” On killing: “We were just slaughtering them.” On congressional oversight: “How would they know? They’ve never even been in a combat situation.”) The book, which appeared eight months after the bin Laden raid, was a runaway success, and remains on the Times best-seller list. Kyle split the earnings with DeFelice and McEwen, and donated his profits to the families of fallen soldiers. Peter Hubbard, the editor, would not disclose Kyle’s advance or subsequent royalties, but said, “It was easy to see how it could get to seven figures.” Bradley Cooper bought the film rights, and Steven Spielberg recently agreed to direct a biopic. HarperCollins signed Kyle to another book contract, “American Gun: A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms,” which will be published on June 4th. (One of the guns Kyle writes about is the Colt pistol that he purportedly used at the gas station—he describes it as a “weapon that in the right hands could turn bad luck good.”) Kyle became a minor celebrity. He was on the cover of Soldier of Fortune and was invited to gun events, such as the annual SHOT Show, in Las Vegas; during an interview there, in January, he said of President Obama, “I know he’s definitely against the Second Amendment and he was trying to ban everything.” He appeared on Conan O’Brien’s talk show with a pinch of tobacco in his lower lip. NBC created a reality TV show around him and seven other veterans, coupling them with actors, athletes, and the like. Kyle partnered with the actor Dean Cain; Todd Palin was also a contestant. The show, “Stars Earn Stripes,” aired last fall. In one episode, Kyle fired at plastic targets, while a camera installed inside his helmet—the Chris P.O.V. Cam—captured the action. Desmond Tutu and eight other Nobel laureates sent a letter to NBC, criticizing the network for glorifying and sanitizing war. The show has not been renewed.

7. Exactly. In languages like Java you can do instances, but then there are patterns and everyone talks to the singleton pattern so that everything turns into classes. What is the problem? I don't know. Java enables you to do as many instances as you want and actually it was optimized for doing objects, but people still talk to the singleton pattern, the only one on the list of patterns for not doing instances. Is it a usability problem of the language or is it people that are not reading enough? Where is the problem? If you bring up patterns, I think that's an interesting touchstone with respect to this problem. The great people who use patterns, never use the word pattern. They just do the right thing. Christopher Alexander, which is where we get this idea of patterns from in architecture , says that patterns are just training wheels. The words he uses are "Patterns are the gate through which we pass on our way to enlightenment." If you are really using patterns, you are not saying "pattern, pattern, pattern." You are just doing the right thing and you know when not to use patterns as well. Very often I'll go in and I'll do an architecture review at a company. They'll say "Here we're using the visitor pattern. Here we're using the adopter pattern." These people are still programming in terms of training wheels. I kind of get scared. If we're really a profession, someone who needs to put in those kinds of comments should not be allowed to touch code that's going to ship. OK, because they are still in school, they are still in training mode; they still have their training wheels on. This whole excitement about, for example, the singleton pattern and talking about that shows that even the level of dialog about the problem has not reason to the right level of maturity yet. The use or abuse of the singleton pattern has not been the single success or killer factor in any architecture I know of. Yet, people get religious about this. People get religious about details that don't matter and very few people are talking about the big picture. Now, everyone is talking about functional programming as being the solution tp multicore. We just came from a talk that says "This is all about having a stateless world. We don't have to worry about side effects, more or less."
Kierkegaard’s tactic in undermining Hegelianism was to produce an elaborate parody of Hegel’s entire system. The pseudonymous authorship, from Either-Or to Concluding Unscientific Postscript, presents an inverted Hegelian dialectic which is designed to take away readers’ presumed knowledge rather than add to it. This authorship snipes simultaneously at German romanticism and contemporary Danish literati (with J.L. Heiberg receiving much acerbic comment). However, it also draws heavily on the work of these authors, especially by taking seriously their framing of philosophical and theological problems. For example, Kierkegaard engaged with the early German romantics’ notion that modernity is to be understood primarily by contrast with antiquity, which in turn is to be understood mainly in terms of classical Greek thought. Classical Greek art, in particular, is taken to be the gold standard by which artistic perfection is to be measured. However, Kierkegaard and the German romantics and German idealists share the view that classical Greek art lacks inwardness or subjective spirit. Modern art, by contrast, while unlikely to match the formal perfection of classical Greek art, contains the potential to explore subjective spirit. One crucial dimension of subjective spirit is freedom, which becomes a distinctive preoccupation of modern art and post-Kantian philosophy. Kierkegaard’s concept of individual freedom, ultimately understood in terms of becoming as nothing before God, engages critically with the concepts of freedom in Kant, Hegel and Schelling, as well as with the theologies of Jacobi, Lessing and Schleiermacher. Kierkegaard presents a distinctive phenomenology of freedom by means of fictional case studies in a method he calls “experimenting psychology”. He uses narrative points of view, pseudonyms, vignettes, character sketches and case studies from life and literature to illustrate how dialectics of moods, emotions and spirit can both disable and enable individual freedom. Moods such as melancholy, boredom and irony can become demonically self-perpetuating, but they also have the potential to lift the individual to a state of self-reflection that amounts to higher order consciousness, thereby enabling the individual to see his or her former existence as what Wittgenstein called a limited whole. The highest order of consciousness for Kierkegaard is God-consciousness, which enables the individual to see himself or herself as both a sinner and as open to divine grace. The path to this ultimate freedom requires will, imagination, faith, love, penitence, patience and a humble kenosis, whereby the self is emptied of will to become receptive to God’s will.
For example, in its resolution 65/94 on “The United Nations in global governance,” the General Assembly recognized the need for inclusive, transparent, and effective multilateral systems to better address the urgent global challenges of today and reaffirmed the central role of the United Nations in ongoing efforts to find common solutions to such challenges. To be certain, any negotiation with extraterrestrial intelligent life forms will be the most urgent global challenge of human history and no institution other than the United Nations (including its specialized organs) is more legitimate and accepted by consensus to take the lead in representing the human civilization. We can conclude that from the point of view of international law that the UN Secretary General is the best candidate to sit at the negotiation table with extraterrestrial intelligent life forms if we meet them here on our planet. In any would-be interplanetary legal or political negotiations, involvement of the UN as the leader on humanity’s side may entail the least opposition from member states, although the possibility of opposition cannot be completely ruled out based on the history of the UN in tackling global issues and crises. Second, the Outer Space Treaty, which is regarded as the backbone of the space law, implicitly recognizes the role of the UN Secretary General as the representative of human civilization in running the talks or concluding legal documents with aliens. Article XI of the Outer Space Treaty reads: In order to promote international co-operation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space, States Parties to the Treaty conducting activities in outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, agree to inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations as well as the public and the international scientific community, to the greatest extent feasible and practicable, of the nature, conduct, locations and results of such activities. On receiving the said information, the Secretary-General of the United Nations should be prepared to disseminate it immediately and effectively. If we consider contact with extraterrestrials as an activity committed by nations who are signatories to the Outer Space Treaty, then the obligation of informing the UN Secretary General for disseminating the data and adopting immediate and effective measures becomes obvious. SETI’s post-detection protocol does contain an additional noteworthy provision that sheds more light on how a collective legal action should be taken as to contact (or deal) with extraterrestrials.
Women and girls as engines of development Targeting women and girls as beneficiaries of development programs is only one part of putting them at the center of development. The other part is recognizing their role as agents of change. Women tend to invest more of their earnings than men do in their family’s well-being—as much as 10 times more (1, 6–8). This fact is critical to the way our foundation thinks about the role of women and girls in development. The upshot is that a woman or a girl with some measure of power is busy improving her community in myriad ways. So, it makes sense to invest in development outcomes by investing in the women who are driving them every day. Empowerment is not tangible in the same way as the choice to deliver a baby at a facility or in the home. Therefore, it is not always clear how to invest in empowerment, or how to measure it. However, the research in this area identifies some key elements of empowerment, including education, control over resources, decision-making authority, and physical safety. Girls’ access to education, the most studied variable, is especially powerful. Each extra year of education is associated with a 10 to 20% increase in income (9, 10). There are strong associations between women’s empowerment and specific health and development outcomes (Fig. 1, bottom). For example, women’s control over resources is associated with better outcomes in family planning; maternal, newborn, and child health; nutrition; and agricultural development (1, 8, 11–13). To cite one instance, a recent review of a CARE program in Bangladesh shows that health and nutrition programs were substantially more effective at reducing stunting in children when households also participated in activities that contributed to women’s empowerment (14). CARE created self-help groups of women and adolescent girls in order to help increase their decision-making power; reduce gender-based violence; raise awareness of their educational entitlements; and build their leadership, advocacy, and literacy skills. The evidence also suggests that the process may work in the other direction, too—that investing in key health and development outcomes can contribute to women’s empowerment (1, 8). Unfortunately, the evidence needs to be strengthened. It could be improved if donors were more willing to fund evaluations of these complex models, something our foundation will increasingly take on.
Nonetheless, it's a deeply disturbing development that even countries like Germany now seem happy to use FinFisher in order to spy on their citizens by means of malware (original in German.)
It arrived in the Netherlands on November 5th, so that is very decent considering Australia is literally on the other side of the world. My other order (partially for me, partially for a friend) was placed on October 23th, shipped October 31st and hasn't arrived yet due to Sophie forgetting to include my house number. It will probably arrive somewhere next week.Like I said, my other order was returned to Australia and Sophie was an absolute sweetheart about it, especially when she learned it had been her mistake. She shipped it back to me free of charge as soon as it arrived there and was very prompt in responding to my emails. It was an unfortunate mistake, but she apologised for it profusely. I had placed my order during a sale so she was probably really busy anyway. Mistakes happen and she handled it like a true professional.These swatches were done over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. They are loose powder and definitely need a sticky base or glitter glue for the duochrome and glitter to show up. Fallout is minimal, though, and over PE they are a complete dream to work with. I received two free samples, which I kinda forgot to swatch. I'll include them when my other order comes in! "An eggplant purple base with intense golden green glimmers and sparkles. "Okay, first of all: I screwed up. I completely forgot to take photo's with flash for these first five swatches. Sorry! I might redo them later, but for now it's all natural light. I love this colour so much! The eggplant base is a medium, slightly blue-leaning purple that is completely different from Impsy's base. The sparkles are bright green, but there's some pink-ish highlights too. It is a glitterbomb, but the colours are muted enough to use this shade during the day. It is magical to look at, both in the jar and on your skin. "A rich mulberry purple with strong red tones and golden shimmer. "Impsy is so gorgeous! I prefer purples that lean a little red, which this one definitely does. It shifts between pure purple and dark red, making it such a lovely, warm colour. The golden shimmer leans slightly green and is very apparent even in artificial light. I reach for it quite a lot when I want to truly spice up a look.

I don't think the goal has to be to beat League of Legends or Dota 2, but it certainly should be our goal to do everything we can to show other players how much fun and how amazing Heroes of the Storm can be, especially on a competitive level. I just recently thought back to that interview. I think I also recorded a video back then talking about my hopes for the game. I honestly believe thatis the most entertaining MOBA game to watch. If I didn't, I would not be casting it anymore. The game eliminates all the criticism that I have toward other MOBA titles, and things like the map diversity and short game length give it a big advantage in my opinion.At the same time, things have obviously not developed that way in the past. I personally think Blizzard made a lot of mistakes in the past that made it difficult for the game and the esports scene to develop as quickly as I was hoping for at the time of the interview. I believe the game could be much bigger than it already is, but I still think that it will grow a lot more in the future. Blizzard has been working hard to improve the esports infrastructure forand the game itself, and setting up HGC was a major accomplishment. A lot of the initial momentum has been lost though, and we will have to work hard to regain that momentum and continuously improve the game and the esports aspect of it. That's also something where I see an obligation for myself. Quite often, I come across as overly critical. One of the reasons for that is that I believe in this game and its potential. I'm very passionate aboutand I want to improve the status quo and raise awareness to aspects that I think should be improved upon, and I will do everything that I can to personally helpkeep growing.I don't think the goal has to be to beator, but it certainly should be our goal to do everything we can to show other players how much fun and how amazingcan be, especially on a competitive level.
Vaccines can and do cause serious side effects, including permanent brain and immune system injury and death, but rather than acknowledge that fact and move forward to figure out why it happens and who is most at risk, many studies that investigate and report on vaccine risks are often swept under the rug. The swine flu (H1N1) vaccine (Pandemrix), for instance was causally linked to an increased risk of narcolepsy among children and adolescents.8 About 1,000 people who received the swine flu shot developed the neurological disorder, and will live with it the rest of their lives. If this is news to you, it's probably because few media outlets picked up on this story at the time, and a recent article in Vox readily admits that many reporters "shy away" from writing about uncertainty in vaccine science.9 Rather than report fairly on a pressing issue that the public deserves to be informed of, the Vox author admits she “ignored the Pandermix study, too,” even though she knew the author of the study is “an extremely credible scientist” and that “her results didn’t come in isolation.” To justify her bias that resulted in unfair and inaccurate reporting, this journalist blamed “anti-vaxxers” for “scaring the media away from covering vaccine side effects.10 And it gets even more outrageous, because she then goes on to describe a sort of bizarre formula for how reporters are supposed to report on studies showing vaccines might cause side effects or lack effectiveness. The “rules” include that it’s ok to be skeptical of newer vaccines but not of older established ones. She also frowns on giving equal weight to both sides of an issue that aren’t actually equal, such as daring to suggest there might be controversy among scientists regarding a vaccine’s safety. But then, at the same time, you should “avoid cheerleading for vaccines,” lest you appear too one-sided. Whatever happened to simply reporting the facts, asking the questions that need to be asked and letting the reader decide what to think?
The last time a wave of bomb attacks were carried out against European civilian targets , 'leftist' or 'communist' groups were blamed. Eventually the truth came out that those groups were deliberately framed and the real perpetrators were 'commando' type groups working directly under the imperial aegis of NATO , which is to say, the USA, its agents and ideological sympathizers in Europe.The point of this wave of bombings and shootings was to, in particular the US government. These strategic aims were embedded in the 'Cold War' ideology of preventing left wing, socialist or communist parties from reaching executive power in Europe, reducing US influence and thereby increasing that of the former Soviet Union.Last year the Chairman of the U.S. Join Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, stated that the US government and military was 'dusting off its Cold War playbook' in order to deal with Russia and the threat of it gaining influence over European countries. The Pentagon recently designated Russia as the number one threat facing the US today. One has to wonder then how closely the Pentagon's Cold War strategy is being followed today, and if it involves similar false-flag terror attacks against the civilian population of Europe in order to createOne also has to wonder about the strange coincidence of Turkish PM Erdogan warning just a few days ago that But where does Islamic terrorism fit into this template?You may have noticed that whenever an attack of this kind occurs, it is automatically inserted into the well-established 'rolling narrative' of 'Islamic terrorism'. There is no need, therefore, to provide any real evidence to back up the claim by Western authorities that a 'Muslim suicide bomber' was to blameBut for the sake of argument, let's roll with the suicide bomber idea for a moment. What 95 percent of all alleged suicide attacks have in common since 1980 , is not religion, but a specific strategic response to Western (or Western-affiliated) military intervention and/or military occupation of territory that the terrorists view as their homeland, or prize greatly.But we still don't buy it.
Environmental determinants of the multi-spatial variation in human echinococcosis risk Echinococcus spp. have complex domestic and sylvatic life cycles that involve a wide range of intermediate and definitive hosts. Therefore, echinococcosis transmission can take place in different landscape types in which a variety of physical and biological factors combine to determine the transmission intensity of the parasite [25]. Although these factors remain poorly understood, it is apparent that the environment plays an important role in the life cycle of Echinococcus spp. Climate and landscape structure influence particularly human behaviour, animal population dynamics, spatial and temporal overlap of intermediate and definitive hosts and the survival of the parasite eggs [41, 44–47]. Humans, who become infected by ingesting the parasite eggs directly through contact with definitive hosts or indirectly from a contaminated environment, are regarded as accidental intermediate hosts who do not usually contribute to the developmental cycle of the parasite. However, reports from hyperendemic areas in north-western Kenya indicate that humans may act as intermediate hosts in the life cycle of the parasite under unique circumstances. The close human-dog relationship and the absence of burial customs among the Turkana people in this region, seem to have made possible the transmission of E. granulosus from tribesmen to dogs or wild carnivores which are able to access and scavenge potentially infected human remains [48]. Comprehensive reviews of the parasite life cycle, environmental factors influencing parasite transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of the disease are available [22, 25, 44, 49]. There is an important spatial dimension in the relationship between the risk of echinococcosis infection and environmental factors that influence both the distribution of the hosts and the rate of development of the parasite [45, 50]. Despite the extent of epidemiological variations within the genus Echinococcus, a general framework may be used to describe factors driving the transmission of the parasite at the continental, sub-continental and local spatial scales. At the continental level, echinococcosis risk may be related to the philogeography (biogeography) of animal communities and to variations in climatic conditions that control the presence/absence of host species within a particular landscape type [41]. At the sub-continental level, the spatiotemporal patterns of echinococcosis risk depend upon animal population dynamics, predator–prey interactions and parasite free living stage survival.
In 1994, Soros pledged $4 million over five years to the Lindesmith Center, a pro-marijuana legalization think-tank that merged with the Drug Policy Foundation to form the Drug Policy Alliance, which supports legalization of marijuana for ``medical'' purposes, repealing mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, ending imprisonment for drug possession. (Neil Hrab, ``George Soros' Social Agenda for America,'' Capital Research Center's Foundation Watch, http:// www.capitalresearch.org/pubs/pdf/x3770435801.pdf) Soros Heavily Financed Drug Legalization Efforts For Marijuana. ``And the award for best supporting role goes to billionaire George Soros, the Daddy Warbucks of drug legalization. He doesn't reside in either state [Arizona or California], but he bankrolled both efforts. . . . Most money used to buy misleading TV ads for both referenda came from out of state. In Arizona, as of the most [[Page E1918]] recent reporting date (May 31), of $300,490 contributed to support Prop. 200, only $490 came from in state. The remaining $300,000 came from out of state, $200,000 of it from the Drug Policy Foundation--a pet charity of George Soros'--and the other $100,000 came directly from Soros himself.'' (Joseph A. Califano Jr., ``Pro-Drug Campaigns' Hidden Agenda,'' Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, December 22, 1996) Soros Helped Finance a Pro-Marijuana Children's Book. ``Dr. Robert Newman, served on the Board of Directors for the Drug Policy Foundation as early as 1997, and presently serves on the board of directors with another minority witness, Rev. Edwin Sanders, of the Drug Policy Alliance (the new name of the Drug Policy Foundation since its merger with the aforementioned Lindesmith Center). The Drug Policy Alliance describes itself as ``the nation's leading organization working to end the war on drugs.'' Along with its major donor George Soros, it helped produce It's Just a Plant, a promarijuana children's book. I will be very interested in learning from the witnesses today what they believe U.S. Government policy should be with respect to financing heroin distribution, safe-injection facilities, and how-to manuals like H Is For Heroin, published by the Harm Reduction Coalition, and children's books on smoking marijuana, produced with the help of the organization run by two of the minority's witnesses today.''

I was thinking the other day about how I approach cinematic styles. Sometimes I think of movies that have resonated with me, of wardrobes that made an instant impact and have never quite left my imagination ( Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail is a prime example of this). But other times it's more about the person. There are actors and actresses whom I love and who project such a clear idea of style onscreen, no matter what they're wearing, that I know that one day I'll have to explore them more fully in a cinematic style (I would say Gwyneth Paltrow in Possession is an example of this, as I could have picked any Gwyneth Paltrow movie to represent her particular froideur and frostiness, although Possesion is an examplar). With Natalie Portman we have a case of the latter. I have wanted to do a post about Natalie Portman for so long - because just look at her! - she's one of those actresses that seemed to grow up with me on the screen, she was a teenager in Mars Attacks when I was wanting to be a teenager, she had her heart broken in Paris in Paris Je T'aime when I was wanting to have my heart broken in Paris. If we're not quite the same age we always seemed to have the same temperament (I have distinct memories of that Vanity Fair shoot in Lake Como , being desperately young and wishing I could be as beautiful as her). Because something that is so hard to look past and yet easy to forget about Natalie Portman - because, or despite of, the shaved head the bad career choices - is that she is a living, breathing great beauty. In fact, she's the definition of great beauty. She's not pretty or girl-next-door-ish, she's really, truly beautiful. I like actresses who embody grand statements like that (and look great on the red carpet at the same time).And then there was Closer . So at this stage I was fourteen and well into the throes of major girl crush - I was a regular reader of Teen Vogue and had that editorial with the converse and the fifties prom dress plastered all over my walls. I begged my mum to take me to see Closer at the cinema because it was MA 15+ and I wasn't old enough yet.
Though he has never spoken publicly about his longtime friend, Gross lives in a kind of Pearlman museum, his apartment stacked with boxes bursting with Pearlman correspondence, Pearlman news clippings, Pearlman family photos, even tape recordings of 25-year-old arguments the two had over the telephone. Gross is a kind of ramshackle Inspector Javert to Pearlman’s Jean Valjean, a man who has spent years trying to warn investors and government agencies about the kid he first knew as “Fat Louie.” “I remember him in a baby carriage,” Gross says, taking a seat on an old couch. “Louie was a very shy kid, didn’t have many friends. Wasn’t very friendly, a little overweight. He wasn’t comfortable with who he was, you know? I’m three years older, but we were the only only children in the building, so we became friends. We went on family outings, to the Statue of Liberty, to Coney Island. I went to their family circles, where I listened to his cousin Artie sing as a kid.”
We hold 3,909 U.S. Assay Office bars for H.M.T. in London (in addition to the New York holding of 8,630 bars). After the London gold market was reopened in 1954 we test assayed the bars of certain assayers to ensure that pre-war standards were being maintained. It might be premature to set up arrangements now for sample test assays of U.S. Assay Office bars but if it appeared likely that the present discontent of the refiners might crystalise into formal complain we should certainly need to do this. In the meantime I would recommend no further action. 31st May 1968 P.W.R.R.
"When the bench had asked "if it (treating Aadhaar Bill as Money Bill) is open to judicial review", the AG had said there was no violation of fundamental right of Ramesh and hence the petition filed by him under Article 32 of the Constitution cannot be entertained.Chidambaram had said Aadhaar Bill cannot be treated as Money Bill, so the petition has been filed under Article 32.The senior Congress leader had informed the bench that the Bill had its passage in the Lok Sabha through a voice vote but the Rajya Sabha Chairman, before whom the complaint was made, had said he had no power to act on the Bill certified by the Lok Sabha Speaker.The bench had noted his submission that it was a grave matter and needed proper hearing.The apex court had on April 25, 2016 sought the assistance of the AG but did not issue notice on the plea of Ramesh.Lok Sabha had on March 16 passed the Aadhaar bill that aimed at better targeting of subsidies through the Aadhaar unique identity.The House had adopted the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Bill, 2016, by a voice vote after rejecting recommendations for five amendments made by the Rajya Sabha.Armed with the Speaker's decision that it was a money bill, the government had pushed it in Rajya Sabha which cannot amend it but only make recommendations for amendment to LS.Once Lok Sabha passes a money bill with or without amendments recommended by Rajya Sabha, it is deemed to have been passed by both the Houses.Showing urgency in getting the law through, the Centre had brought the measure to the Lower House on the same day, within an hour of being returned by Rajya Sabha.Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who had moved the bill and piloted it in both the Houses, had also turned down the Opposition's argument that Parliament cannot legislate since the matter is before the Supreme Court.Ramesh, while proposing amendments in the bill in Rajya Sabha, had expressed "anguish" that it was brought as a money bill, an act he likened to "knocking a nail in the coffin of the Upper House".Calling the passage of the bill in this manner "a very dangerous trend", Ramesh had said the government has tried to "bypass" Rajya Sabha by doing this.Insisting that a series of conditions are specified in Article 110 of the Constitution and that the Article used the word "only" if those conditions are prevalent can a bill be declared a money bill, he had said that the Aadhaar bill, which was passed as a money bill, had "ignored five recommendations made by the Rajya Sabha.

A bank to be erected with a stock of three millions of pounds, lawful money, at the rate of six shillings to a dollar, divided into thirty thousand shares. This stock to be exempted from all public taxes and impositions whatsoever. Remark 1. By the second Article, a part of the stock is to be in landed security; by this, the whole is to be exempted from taxes. Here will be a considerable saving to the proprietor, which is to be estimated among the clear profits of the bank. This will indeed be a small reduction of the public revenue; but the loss will be of little consequence, compared with the advantages to be derived from the bank. Art. II. A subscription to be opened for the amount of the stock. A subscriber of from one share to five, to advance the whole in specie. A subscriber of six shares to fifteen, to advance one half in specie, the other half in good landed security. A subscriber of sixteen shares, and upwards, to advance two sixths in specie, one sixth in bills of securities on good European funds, and three sixths in good landed security. In either case of specie, plate or bullion, at a given value, proportioned to its quality, may be substituted; and in either case of landed security, specie, good bills, or securities on European funds, to be admissible in their stead. Edition: current; Page: [ 368 ] Remark 2. By admitting landed security as a part of the bank stock, while we establish solid funds for the money emitted, we at the same time supply the defect of specie, and we give a strong inducement to moneyed men to advance their money; because, not only the money actually deposited is to be employed for their benefit, but, on the credit of their landed security, by the seventh Article, may be raised an equal amount in cash, to be also employed for their benefit; by which artifice they have the use of their land (exempted, too, from taxes), and the use of the value of it in a representative cash. In this consists a capital advantage of the bank to the proprietors. A, for instance, advances six hundred pounds in specie, and as much more in landed security. By the establishment he may draw bank-notes for the whole of his stock, that is, for twelve hundred pounds, when he only advances half the sum in money.
“He probably remembered Padilla because he was a U.S. citizen, and that was rare,” says the former F.B.I. al-Qaeda specialist Dan Coleman. Mohamed has maintained that if he had ever met Padilla it would have been a fleeting, chance encounter, perhaps when they both fled Afghanistan, and he has no memory of it. But the first time Mohamed tried to fly to London via Zurich, around April 4, Padilla was booked on the same flight. Their ultimate destinations were different: Padilla planned to spend time in Egypt before returning to Chicago. But the fact they were starting their journeys together, says an F.B.I. agent who attended official briefings about the case, convinced American agencies that they shared some joint purpose. “It was simply that—flight coincidence,” he says. “I never saw any evidence that Padilla and Mohamed met.” By late April, Abu Zubaydah was being tortured and giving up details of a plot that sounded truly terrifying: a plan for Padilla to build and detonate a radioactive dirty bomb in America. But even at the outset, some who worked in U.S. counterterrorism were skeptical. “If there is a dirty bomb, you’d better take it seriously, because as bad as 9/11 was, a dirty bomb would be a hundred times worse,” says the former F.B.I. agent who attended the case briefings. “It was clear that Padilla had some form of training, that he was a sympathizer. But to claim he really had a plan to do a dirty bomb? That’s tough. You show me he knew how to go and get it. That he knew how to make it. They never had that.” Convinced that the dirty-bomb plot was real, those interrogating Binyam Mohamed assumed that he must be part of it, and if he could not fill in missing details, he must have been covering up. Agents such as the F.B.I.’s Jack Cloonan, who spent years fighting al-Qaeda before his retirement in 2002, had learned that it had an impressive “quality-control system,” which meant “they looked for people with the right makeup, they did their own due diligence, and they would not pick weak guys”—not, typically, heroin addicts. But no one was listening to these agents. M.I.5 seems to have shared the C.I.A.’s groupthink. Sources in London say that its agents also assumed that anything Mohamed said to try to defend himself must be a lie.
1777 Jean-Baptiste Greuze portrait of Franklin. American statesman, scientist and author. He helped draw up the Declaration of Independence (1776) and, as ambassador to France (1776-85), he negotiated an alliance wth France and a peace settlement with Britain. As a scientist he is noted particularly for his researches in electricity, esp his invention of the lightning conductor. In Part One of his autobiography Benjamin Franklin writes: " When about 16 Years of Age, I happen'd to meet with a Book written by one Tryon, recommending a Vegetable Diet. I determined to go into it. My Brother being yet unmarried, did not keep House, but boarded himself & his Apprentices in another family. My refusing to eat Flesh occasioned an Inconveniency, and I was frequently chid for my singularity. I made my self acquainted with Tryon's Manner of preparing some of his Dishes, such as Boiling Potatoes, or Rice, making Hasty Pudding, & a few others, and then propos'd to my Brother, that if he would give me Weekly half the Money he paid for my Board, I would board my self. He instantly agreed to it, and I presently found that I could save half what he paid me. This was an additional Fund for buying Books: But I had another Advantage in it. My Brother and the rest going from the Printing House to their Meals, I remain'd there alone, and dispatching presently my light Repast, (which often was no more than a Bisket or a Slice of Bread, a Handful of Raisins or a Tart from the Pastry Cook's, and a Glass of Water) had the rest of the Time till their Return, for Study, in which I made the greater Progress from that greater Clearness of Head & quicker Apprehension which usually attend Temperance in Eating & Drinking. And now it was that being on some Occasion made asham'd of my Ignorance in Figures, which I had twice fail'd in learning when at School, I took Cocker's Book of Arithmetick, & went thro' the whole of my self with great Ease.--I also read Seller's & Sturmy's Books of Navigation, & became acquainted with the little Geometry they contain, but never proceeded far in that Science. -- And I read about this Time Locke On Human Understanding and the Art of Thinking by Messrs du Port Royal."

We feel that the conclusion from this figure, that a single Synechocystis cell absorbs only a relatively small proportion of the light passing through it, is important when considering how light intensity will vary within and around the cell, which is a theme central to our paper. Therefore we would prefer to present this figure prominently so that we can be up-front about our arguments. The reviewer does not raise any specific technical problems with the estimate of a single-cell transmission spectrum but is clearly not comfortable with the discussion. In the revised paper we have tried to explain more clearly how we derived the transmission spectrum (legend to Figure 2). The reviewer’s comment about the “very dark green cells” actually illustrates a common misconception about cyanobacteria, which perhaps reinforces the need to include the figure. Individual cells are not actually very dark green, although of course dense cultures are. Within an individual cell the local pigment concentration is quite high (as indicated in Figure 2) but the optical path-length is exceedingly short and therefore the overall light absorption is small. The direct measurement of single-cell absorption spectra is technically very challenging, and actually we are aware of only one good example in the literature for cyanobacteria. This is the pioneering work of Sugiura and Itoh (Plant & Cell Physiology, 2012) which we cite and discuss in the revised paper (lines 125-129). These authors present single-cell absorption spectra for a species of Nostoc with cell diameter a little larger than Synechocystis. The peak single-cell absorption is about 0.04, corresponding to a minimum transmittance of over 0.9 (ie over 90% of photons go straight through the cell). Therefore our estimate of a minimum transmittance for a Synechocystis cell of about 0.8 is not at all out of line.

Hence, the rate at which the 1-L i transport strategists in the population sample the L i local strategists and thereby become local strategists themselves is: when P l >P t , and it is zero otherwise, and where σ is the sampling rate times the proportionality constant, which we refer to as the imitation rate (for σ sufficiently small the probability of switching remains less than 100%.) Similarly, the rate at which the L i local strategists in the population sample the 1-L i transport strategists and become transport strategists themselves is when P t >P l , and it is zero otherwise. Adding these two equations yields the total rate of change in the proportion of local strategists: When it is more expensive to transport firewood than to buy it locally (C t -C l >0), when local strategists are in the majority (2L i −1>0), and/or when there is infestation present (p>0, I i >0), then the payoff for switching to the local strategy is positive and hence L i increases over time. In contrast, when the sum of these three terms is negative, then the payoff for switching to the transport strategy is positive, hence L i decreases over time. Human-environment System Model Our goal is to determine the relationship between human decisions and the forest ecosystem and thereby suggest an effective management strategy. Hence, we must have a fully coupled system of equations. To that end, we define the impact of human decisions on the forest as serving as a vector for insect dispersal between patches through firewood transport. As our social influence model already depends on the level of infestation I i , no changes need to be made in this equation. However, we add terms to the forest growth equations capturing cross-patch infestation: where d<1 is a proportionality constant controlling the rate of cross-patch infestation from patch j to patch i≠j. Parameterization All baseline parameter values appear in Table 1. The environmental and economic parameter values used in the model were determined through a literature review [4], [7], [11], [15], [16] and through contact with Ontario Parks. The fecundity of trees is difficult to determine, particularly because we are attempting to represent a wide variety of tree species, many of which have very different fecundity rates.
I also know that in such packed places, the mass of people works as cover and I wouldn’t worry much about getting shot unless I’m very close to the shooter.Other than that, take note of the place, make sure you wont hit the ground at an exit point where people will be rushing to. Other than that, hitting the floor is your best survival alternative when shots are fired and there’s no concealment near by.FerFAL
But please don't charge for the show. Ok, maybe you can pass around the hat or take donations or whatever. WHY SO EXPENSIVE? First of all, lets not forget kickstarter fees, transportation, accommodations, travel costs, crew, etc etc etc. We know a lot of you have asked us to play your events, and ask how much. We also know this is a lot of money, but this is what it will take to make a general price that includes anywhere in North America.

Participants performed a version of the Bakan Vigilance Task.21 Visual stimuli were presented and a motor (finger) response was required for target stimuli. Individual numbers (1–9; Tahoma; font size 20) were presented on a desktop screen, 12 inches in height×16 inches wide (∼30.5 cm×40.6 cm). The participant performed a primary and secondary task. The primary task was to detect the presentation of three successive, differing odd digits (e.g., 7, 3, and 5). The secondary task was to respond to a specific number (i.e., 6). Participants were instructed to press the right button in response to a primary stimulus and the left button in response to a secondary stimulus. Stimuli were presented for 1000 milliseconds and a total of 960 stimuli were presented during each 16-min cognitive testing period. There were 8 primary and 95 secondary target stimuli presented. The data were acquired using SuperLab Pro Experimental Laboratory Software, Version 2.0 (Cedrus Corp., 2002) loaded on a portable laptop (Gateway Solo; Gateway, Inc.), and interfaced with a Model RB-530 Response Pad (Cedrus Corp., 2002). Upon completion of the study, each data file was analyzed using Cedrus Data Viewer 2.0 (Cedrus Corp., 2007) and the following measures were obtained for both the primary and secondary tasks: correct responses (hits), errors of omission (missed targets), false alarm errors (pressed a button in the absence of a target), and reaction time for correct responses (in milliseconds). In addition, participants' sensitivity for detecting the presence and absence of the targets was calculated as recommended from signal detection theory22 using a nonparametric index [P(Ā)].23 The P(Ā) reflects a combination of each participant's average percent hits and false alarms. The P(Ā) score is a nonparametric analogue to the efficiency with which stimuli can be detected (known as d′) and values range between 0.50 and 1.0.
That's why I always personally felt that the movement was destined to fail. You've got two types of people: You have the Anonymous members who are genuinely passionate about dismantling Scientology, but then you have the casual hangers-on who are just there to troll. Because you can't filter it and because the membership is open, Anonymous will always be held back by the bottom rung who are pelting Scientology with eggs and bomb threats and these mischievous juvenile acts. They are holding back the people who take it more seriously. For every step forward Anonymous makes, they can go 10 steps back with one negative headline.You must feel something similar. 4chan has a mixed public image too. 4chan certainly has a stigma.And Anonymous seemed to emerge out of 4chan. Yeah, I would say that's definitely the case. Anonymous culture emerged out of image boards. The rules of these communities spawned some of the original thinking behind the group. But once the Scientology protests started, people outside of 4chan joined. At that point it diverged into its own thing.How much does it cost to run the site? About $6,000 per month. That's actually not too bad for a site that is all rich media and has 300 million pageviews. I don't have any overhead past that. I don't have any employees. I don't have an office.Are you making your money back? Just barely. We're trying to convince advertisers that our community is worth their ad dollars. That's been a really uphill battle because of our content. Advertisers will Google us and see that we're huge, but they'll also see all these threats and hacks. It scares them away. Overcoming that stigma is difficult.Have you thought about dropping the controversial board? People have suggested dropping /b/, but that's the life force of the site. I can't do that. It was the first board, and it will be the last board to go.I imagine you've seen so many strange things doing this site. What's the most demented thing you've seen? I'd be happy to email you something. [Laughs.] I've seen some horrible shit. I like to think that I've grown as a person, but at the same time I think a little piece of me continues to die every year.What have you learned from all this? I'm still trying to figure that out. I need to start thinking about getting a job. I don't have a resume.
Proximity Mines detonate whenever an enemy is standing in the AoE for 1.6 seconds (if you walk in and out instantly, it doesn't explode). Proximity Mines require 1.75 seconds to be active and invisible. Proximity Mines can no longer be auto-attacked (via attack-move). Proximity Mines damage type is now Magical. Proximity Mines cooldown increased from 9/8/7/5 to 12 Proximity Mines damage increased from 150/190/225/260 to 225/400/575/750 Proximity Mines mana cost is 110/130/150/170. Proximity Mines do full damage in the AoE (rather than half at a certain radius). Proximity Mines can no longer be placed within the active AoE of another Proximity Mine (400 AoE). Proximity Mines have 1 HP. Proximity Mines deal 25% damage to buildings. Proximity Mines bounty changed from 10/14 gold/XP to 30/0 Proximity Mines now do damage based on the current level of the ability, rather than its level when placed. Proximity Mines must be directly targeted to be attacked. Quell can no longer target Proximity mines (Quelling Blade, Iron Talon, Battle Fury). Replaced Suicide Squad Attack with Blast Off Blast Off is a 400 AoE spell and has a 1000 cast range; propels you towards the target location and then explodes Blast Off deals 300/400/500/600 Magical damage and silences enemies for 4/5/6/7 seconds. Blast Off deals 50% of your Max HP to yourself upon landing at the destination. Blast Off has a 35 second cooldown. Blast Off has a 1 second cast time. Stasis Trap now roots enemies instead of stunning. Stasis Trap no longer has a 1.5 detonation delay. Stasis Trap activation time increased from 1.5 to 2 Stasis Trap Trigger radius reduced from 450 to 400 Stasis Trap effect radius increased from 450 to 600 Stasis Trap root duration is 2/3/4/5. Stasis Trap no longer expire. Stasis Trap no longer gives vision, but reveals the area upon detonation. Remote Mines now have a 0.25 second Detonation delay.

At the beginning of this year, Italy’s sovereign debt—moneys owed by the state to all public and private lenders—was 2.16 trillion euros. Monti had tried to stem the debt with rigorous “European” measures, and failed. Letta had simply failed. Now it’s Renzi’s turn. None of his other reforms will mean much unless he can turn around the fiscal and economic crises he inherited. Napolitano is said to have put one condition on appointing him, and that was that Renzi choose a finance minister with international experience and standing. At the time, the most that anyone knew about Renzi’s economic views was his belief in what could be called global capitalism as a transformative—which is to say, potentially progressive—force for social and economic change. He was said to be getting economic advice from a Democratic Party deputy named Yoram Gutgeld, a veteran of twenty-four years with the growth-management giant McKinsey, and trying it out on one of his closest friends in Florence, Marco Carrai—a successful young businessman and investor whom, as mayor, he had installed as president of the Florence Airport. Carrai is not an economist. Among other pursuits, he is developing security technology in Israel, and he shares Renzi’s strong support for the country in an increasingly dismissive Europe. Renzi made his decision quickly. The man he tapped for the ministry of finance and the economy was Pier Carlo Padoan, a sixty-five-year-old veteran of the International Monetary Fund and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, where he was the chief economist and deputy secretary-general. He came to the job with no political agenda but with a lot of good will from Europe, and a strong sense of the problems he was about to face. “My view of what needs to be done is to address a combination of three problems that have been rigid impediments to our growth,” Padoan told me. “And we need to do that now. One is boosting growth through tax cuts for both companies and households. Another, of course, is supporting innovation.” (Renzi, returning from his “innovation” trip to California, had promised Italy its own Silicon Valley.)
By giving her a distinctive ability with two upgrade paths, her players will still feel like they're playing Evelynn, either way, but will also be able to feel like they had some say in how she works.The mana cost used to be 8/10/12/14/16 every 0.8 seconds, now it's 10/12.5/15/17.5/20 per second, which evens out to the same mana drain over time. Actually, it'll probably be slightly higher, due to the reduced amount of lost time spamming from latency and human reflex.Additionally, the rate of fire, of 0.5 per second, down from 0.8, means damage will need to be set to 62.5% of the original damage to equal the same DPS.Technically, this means the damage should finalize out at 53.125, instead of 55, but considering the slightly faster mana drain, I figure it's not going to be that huge of a problem.Now, there are some minor issues with changing this in this manner. For example, before it was pretty easy to just hold off on mashing the Q button if you were slightly out of range of your intended target. Now, since it's automatically spamming out endlessly, it's more likely that your Hate Spikes will hit a minion as the primary target, rather than the intended champion.Due to such, the rate at which hate spikes are fired was increased to 2.0X per second, up from 1.25X per second, previously, so that missing an individual Hate Spike, due to slightly less control than before, would not be so big a deal. The additional DPS from the rounding up of the damage, also will likely help to limit the problem.Finally, the capacity to trigger "on spell cast" abilities is available, as otherwise, buying a tear or a sheen-effect item would be severely reduced in value on her, to it's present value.Since I've already covered the reasoning behind the stealth mechanics being changed, I'll cover the specifics to Evelynn's particular version.First off, I found, as many did, that 10 seconds of stealth was so low that it was difficult to even position yourself, due to having to go into stealth from a farther distance away where you wouldn't be seen.
What could be easier?
The results were similar when oblique rearing orientations are considered, although in this case there was also a smaller, cardinal over-representation effect (data not shown). This cardinal over-representation is presumably driven by the same causes as in normal case (discussed further below): cardinal over-representation in the input and the square pixel representation.
It could be argued you should lose a point for this gaff, but I suppose it can be forgiven given the lay of the land and the fact that you were likely freaked out when I burst out of my front door with flash light hand.Would you believe I actually ENVIED you as you ran off? I truly did. Because I knew your hearts were hammering at your ribs and you were experiencing that delicious fear that comes from being discovered in the middle of perpetrating a first-class prank. “Holy crap, dude! He almost CAUGHT US!” The thought made me laugh out loud several times as I went about putting my front yard right again.STEP THREE - DO NO HARMFinally, what you DIDN’T DO is also important: you didn’t trample our newly planted plants or break any tree branches. You didn’t egg the house – that can destroy paint jobs. You didn’t do anything to cause any real damage to our home or property.So – in closing – don’t be too disappointed I removed all the materials you carefully collected and brought to our house before anyone else got to see it displayed in all its glory. I am memorializing your effort here on Craigslist for all to read.After an hour of work, as I stood back and looked at my boring de-TP’d yard, I brought to mind how much more colorful it had been just 60 mintues before. With your work in mind, I held up an imaginary score card Olympics style…10.0! Had there been crowds, they would have gone wild.With respect,Home Owner, Issaquah WAP.S. btw, once is funny. Twice...not so much. ;)

A neuroimaging study I conducted in 1995 using positron-emission tomography, or PET, scanning turned out to be unexpectedly useful in advancing my own understanding of association cortices and their role in the creative process. This PET study was designed to examine the brain’s different memory systems, which the great Canadian psychologist Endel Tulving identified. One system, episodic memory, is autobiographical—it consists of information linked to an individual’s personal experiences. It is called “episodic” because it consists of time-linked sequential information, such as the events that occurred on a person’s wedding day. My team and I compared this with another system, that of semantic memory, which is a repository of general information and is not personal or time-linked. In this study, we divided episodic memory into two subtypes. We examined focused episodic memory by asking subjects to recall a specific event that had occurred in the past and to describe it with their eyes closed. And we examined a condition that we called random episodic silent thought, or REST: we asked subjects to lie quietly with their eyes closed, to relax, and to think about whatever came to mind. In essence, they would be engaged in “free association,” letting their minds wander. The acronym REST was intentionally ironic; we suspected that the association regions of the brain would actually be wildly active during this state. When eureka moments occur, they tend to be precipitated by long periods of preparation and incubation, and to strike when the mind is relaxed. This suspicion was based on what we had learned about free association from the psychoanalytic approach to understanding the mind. In the hands of Freud and other psychoanalysts, free association—spontaneously saying whatever comes to mind without censorship—became a window into understanding unconscious processes. Based on my interviews with the creative subjects in my workshop study, and from additional conversations with artists, I knew that such unconscious processes are an important component of creativity. For example, Neil Simon told me: “I don’t write consciously—it is as if the muse sits on my shoulder” and “I slip into a state that is apart from reality.” (Examples from history suggest the same thing.
Last week a falsely edited video was released to the media. It portrayed a dog being forced to enter a pool against its will and suggested that the dog was traumatized as a result. No such thing occurred, nor would it ever occur under the supervision of our animal trainers. In one sequence, the videotape shows our animal actor Hercules appearing resistant to being placed in the pool. A voice can be heard saying “Just gotta throw him in.” Next, Hercules can be seen in the water, the false implications being that Hercules was actually placed in the water against his will and that the voice that can be heard belongs to someone supervising Hercules. Here is what actually occurred: Hercules, a two-year old German Shepherd, had been in training for months to perform the swimming scenes for this film. He was chosen for the film based on his love of the water. The shot that Hercules performed began with his jumping from the end of the pool into the water as he’d been conditioned to do, then swimming out to a stunt actor and pulling her to safety. After many successful takes throughout the day, a request was made to have Hercules perform the same behavior, but changing the point from which he was to enter the pool. As the camera started rolling, the trainer in the water began to call the dog. It quickly became apparent that Hercules did not want to enter the pool from this location. After less that one minute of Hercules insisting on getting back to his original starting point, this plan was abandoned and he was brought to the end of the pool from which he’d been conditioned to enter, and he did so happily. We cannot identify the voice that appears on the videotape saying “Just gotta throw him in,” but there were many people on the film set and it was not anyone with any authority over Hercules’ welfare as some of the news coverage implied. In the next shot, Hercules entered the pool from his rehearsed location. While swimming across the pool, the current carried him closer to the wall at end of the pool than it had in previous takes. When the dog reached the wall, he was briefly submerged at which point the diver an trainer immediately pushed him to the surface. Trainers poolside then pulled him out of the water.
On Sunday, the Conservatives will gather in Manchester for their annual party conference. It won’t be the optimistic seaside festivity Labour has just hosted in Brighton. The first order of business at the Tory conference will be an inquest into how the party blew a double-digit poll lead, squandered its Commons majority, and put itself on the brink of losing power to a 68-year-old socialist who scarcely had the backing of his own MPs a year ago. Some of the conclusions already trailed in the run-up to the conference suggest that blame will be pinned on a campaign that was too unimaginative and centralised, and a manifesto that was launched without consultation. When the soul-searching is done, Theresa May will give a keynote speech in which she's expected to try to reboot her faltering premiership and demonstrate that she has a vision for the country beyond Brexit. In last year’s speech, in Birmingham, May pitched herself as a leader for struggling workers. This time she will have to try to reach out to the young as well. In interviews today with Sunday newspapers, May pledged to do more for young voters including freezing university tuition fees at £9,250 a year. She will increase the income threshold at which graduates start repaying their loans to £25,000. A front page story in the Sunday Telegraph described the measures as a "revolution" in student fees, but they're a long way from Corbyn's promise to scrap the fees altogether. Election data shows starkly the scale of the challenge May has in reaching under-35s. Corbyn’s lead over the Tories was 62% to 27% among 18- to 24-year-olds, and 56% to 27% among 25- to 34-year-olds. Those numbers terrify some Tories, who worry that the party is failing to reach the young professionals they hope would gravitate to the right as they get older, start families, and accumulate assets. The party won’t win another general election for a generation, they worry, unless it urgently does something to widen its appeal.

I will respond further to the personally directed comments on your talk page. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 00:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC) Yeah, I'm not buying a WP:OR argument or a WP:SYNTH argument. For the first: Attribution is not 'original research'. For the second, synthesis is about combining two or more sources inappropriately- this is using one single source. PeterTheFourth (talk) 00:20, 6 November 2016 (UTC) To explain a point of confusion: The wording "what he believed was" and "appeared to show" is not redundant. The first addresses that he believes the logs are legitimate (e.g. not fake), the second addresses his analysis of the logs. PeterTheFourth (talk) 02:12, 6 November 2016 (UTC) PeterTheFourth: not leaks, and only one (primary) source saying they were edited, without specifying how. It's not redundant with respect the phrase "...appeared to show..." but to the simple, inescapable fact that of course he believed they were leaked logs because no-one has any reason to believe they were anything else. Now, we can't say they were accurate logs, hence the "...appeared to show..." phrase. Perhaps "redundant" isn't the right word. I think it might be better to say they were overly specific. Ryk72 gave a bad justification for the edit, but it was a good edit. This wording is unnecessary. If you can't provide sources that demonstrate some clear distinction between these being leaked logs (edited or otherwise) and these being faked logs, or something else (I honestly don't know what the hell else they could possibly be), then you will be justifying Ryk's assumption of bad faith. You will be justifying his claim of weasel words. It won't become OR or SYNTH, but you'll definitely see me quoting WP:UNDUE in an attempt to convince you. This is the opening of a deep, dark rabbit hole, given the subject of this thread. I know you've been working hard for a while now to make sure WP accurately covers Gamergate and related subjects, but good intentions don't exempt you from bias. So I'm telling you the same thing I told Ryk: Drop the stick and back away. This is not worth turning into another weeks-long debate with tons of socks, SPIs and anon editors trolling away at it. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it.

HORTON THURSBY'S ROOM - NIGHT Horton sits in his '40's noir hotel room, in a sleeveless t-shirt, boxer shorts and gartered socks, cleaning his massive, chrome-plated .357 Magnum pistol, staring holes in a picture of Professor Zinzermacher on the table in front of him. His moll, LORRAINE, an irresistible, shapely blonde bombshell, lolls on the bed, blowing kisses to the ceiling and watching them float. CUT TO: INT.

She was Kilala, the author of “I want to meet teacher,” summarized on the press release as “She loved a man who was her teacher, but already married. Yet the love grows for this kind educator.” Kiki (“I’m His Girl”)—orangey hair, tartan-print baby-doll dress, pink patent-leather pumps—stomped around with the prize-pony gait of a runway model, and tried to keep her thigh-high stockings from falling down. The contestants filed into a large ballroom, with pink chrysanthemum-patterned wall-to-wall carpeting, pink chairs, and a shimmering upside-down-wedding-cake chandelier. Strains of dream-sequence harp music filled the air. Seated near the front was Jakucho Setouchi, an eighty-six-year-old novelist and Buddhist nun, who was acting as an honorary judge. The author of searing autobiographical novels in her youth (before she took her vows, her name was Harumi Setouchi), she is a contributor to Bungakukai and in the mid-nineties published a contemporary-Japanese translation of “Genji” that became a best-seller. She turned around in her chair to greet the audience: flowing purple robe, white-and-gold brocade kesa, shiny bald head. A government official in a neat suit stood up, and praised the novelists as modern-day Murasakis for their innovative use of 3G cell phones. “The intent of having developed this broadband is for people to use it to create culture, develop new business models, and integrate the provinces into the nation’s cultural production,” he said. “It’s the thousandth anniversary of ‘The Tale of Genji.’ There was a flowering of culture at that time, and we have hopes that in our new era in Japan we will have the same kind of cultural influence. The authors here are leaders of this new flowering of activity.” An announcer on a loudspeaker introduced the finalists, and each stood up and took a shallow bow. “There’s one more author, who does not wish to be seen,” the announcer added. “She’s in the room but doesn’t want to be known.” Kiki won the grand prize. When her name was called, she looked startled, and slowly turned her head to the left and to the right, remaining lumpen in her chair. Finally, she advanced to the stage, pulling up her stockings and combing her fingers through her hair. She accepted a huge bouquet from a popular Ping-Pong champion. At the microphone, she wept. She said that she had written the novel for her boyfriend, to commemorate their love. The award was two million yen (some twenty thousand dollars) and publication by Starts.
After serving as director of photography on a series of large-scale, effects-laden action films (The Matrix trilogy and Spider-Man 2), Bill Pope, ASC instructed his agents to look for something “completely different.” Little did the cinematographer know that he’d get what he asked for in spades. “I certainly never saw a puppet movie coming up on my horizon,” Pope says with a chuckle. “However, when [directors] Matt Stone and Trey Parker sent me the script, I literally laughed out loud as I read it. At the time, I didn’t know they wanted to make the film entirely with puppets. When I finally met with Matt and Trey and they told me they wanted to do the whole film with marionettes all in camera, with no CGI I told them I was their man. CG allows you to do things onscreen that you shouldn’t be able to, but many times those kinds of effects can take you out of the story. For me, the organic quality of doing things in camera is usually much more charming.” Stone and Parker have earned considerable notoriety for their raw and controversial animated television series South Park. In 1999, the eccentric duo released an even racier feature-film installment: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Their other collaborations include the features BASEketball and Orgazmo, as well as the TV series That’s My Bush! “Bill was suggested to us by our producer, Scott Rudin, who had worked with him on Clueless,” says Stone. “From the outset, we felt we should find a cinematographer who had shot these kinds of action movies. In fact, the entire precept of Team America is based on the idea of doing a huge, overwrought, Bruckheimer-esque action/event movie, only with puppets. When we wrote the script, however, we didn’t write it with puppets in mind. We just wrote it like any big action film a guy jumps his motorcycle over 16 cars and there’s a big explosion and handled the script without any thoughts about how we would actually do it!” In true South Park fashion, no individual, religion or political affiliation is safe from being roasted in this election-season satire. To focus their gibes, the filmmakers dreamed up “Team America,” an elite group of world freedom fighters who battle to save democracy against tyrannical oppression and terrorist intimidation. “They’re sort of like the A-Team and James Bond fused together,” notes Pope.
They're basically all the same thing, Buu can manipulate his body to heal almost any kind of injury, to trap opponents and crush them with his flesh like he did to Vegeta and later to Goku, or to absorp people then copy their abilities and mindset.Odd : Fat Buu also has two unique techniques to one-shot cities, the first one is "Flame Shower Breath" where he blows so hard things somehow... explode, and the second one is "Innocence Express", where he charges ahead and powers through anything in front of him.Fastsword : Kid Buu has his own version of that second move, it's called "Buu Rocket", which can be used in the air too.Odd : And of course, here comes Buu's most powerful Ki attacks, "Human Extinction" which fires billions of Ki blasts at once targeting all humans on Earth, and "Planet Burst", where he charges a giant sphere of energy to blow up entire planets.Fastsword : He can also mimic Ki techniques from others just by watching them, that's how he got Goku's Kamehameha and Babidi's protective bubble, a defensive shield hard enough to withstand several punches from Piccolo.Odd : That's most of Majin Buu's moveset. What about Kirby then ?Fastsword : There's his inhale & copy ability, an-Odd : FCK ! A THIRD ARGUMENT TWELVE O'CLOCK !Odd : Kirby... IS NOT FCKING PLEASED WITH YOUR SHTTY ARGUMENT !Fastsword : Sigh" Here we go again... The people who MASSIVELY underestimate Kirby's inhale and copy ability.Odd : Just to get this out of the way, inside Kirby there's an endless dimension. So there's absolutely no way to kill Kirby from the inside, since infinity can't be fully destroyed. And if you're eaten, you won't be able to get out anymore, you'll be trapped in a limitless void.Fastsword : Unless you have some extreme degree of space manipulation that allows you to teleport between dimensions, you'll be "sealed" there forever.Odd : In Super Smash Brothers, the character eaten is then pooped out only because of gameplay mechanics, to make the fighting game fair.Fastsword : And Kirby's Inhale is MUCH stronger than what you guys might think. It creates a giant vortex that can cover an entire terrain, and that easily translates to his strength and destructive power, as it redirected a Sun-like meteor by spitting at it.Odd : As for "He can't eat bosses", that's nothing more than a simple gameplay mechanic to make the game harder.
These items bear a close resemblance to the four suit signs of the Tarot; Cups, Wands, Swords and Disks, which the Magician learns to use in the Major Arcana.Further, the four Tarot suits refer to the four castes of Hinduism; Cups being priests/Brahmin; Swords, warrior overlords of Kshatriyas; Disks (Coins) representing the merchant class and Wands the surfs or Sudras.Paul Foster Case believed it was a Chinese adept who brought the Tarot from the East. The Chinese have a proverb, “One picture is worth ten thousand words.” Chinese writing is made up of conventionalized pictures and these pictures express ideas instead of words. Case writes that the esoteric doctrine of the Tarot was a development of ideas fundamentally identical with the wisdom taught in the secret schools of China, Tibet and India.The Christian churches condemned the Tarot as a wastrel parlour game of the rich around the middle of the 15th century.Tarocchi, the Tarot Card game, was popular in the 1400’s among influential families. The game was similar to Bridge with trumps, and The Major Arcana is still referred to as the Trump cards - see the Crowley deck.By the mid-15th century a popular demand for Tarot cards superseded religious opposition and card-making workshops thrived in many cities in Italy, France, Germany and Belgium. Wealthy and influential families, such as the Visconti family in Italy, commissioned artists to paint a deck using family members as models in the Major Arcana. One of their ancestor's portrait was featured as the Papess card (The High Priestess) linking them to the famed story about a woman (referred to as “Pope Joan”) who became a Pope.Throughout this period, Tarot Cards were burned on sight.In 1781 – eight years before the French revolution – Antoine Court de Gebelin, a French occultist and archeologist, theorized that the gypsy Tarot was the remnants of an ancient Egyptian book of magical wisdom. This Egyptian sacred text (according to de Gebelin) was still treasured by many Romany peoples since their exodus from Egypt. He published a nine-volume book: The Primitive World Analyzed and Compared to the Modern World. The publication of this treatise made the Tarot a central tool of the Rosicrucian sages. Overnight it was feted as the ‘bible’ of all true occultists.One famous Tarot story describes a high-ranking general in Napoleon's army visiting a famous Tarot Reader in Paris.
The Judge presiding over the case of the Loving’s; an interracial couple that this Judge sentenced to jail for marrying, stated: “Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.” – Religion. Specifically, Christianity… has always been used to justify control over whom should be allowed to love who. The Conservatives in the Commons today are doing the same thing. They wish to control love. As suggested with the story of Pan Zhang, Same-sex unions have always existed. They are not a new thing. They have only recently come to be demonised, and that is down purely to the Church. The great cancer on the face of society.
On a more positive note, had it not been for the discovery of insulin, George Minot would almost certainly not have survived to do the research on pernicious anaemia26 which led him and William Murphy to be the first American recipients of the Nobel Prize.27
Anyways, quite a different start then lane Ursa & if you don't play alot of jungle characters then this can feel incredibly weird for you to just be off doing your own thing for the first ten minutes of a match. I know fngurrier expressed concern that he felt like he wasn't doing much or letting the team down during this phase. Remember if your team isn't setup for a solo offlane you should probably lane him. He's an excellent laner, the jungle priority for him is more when your team has a proper lineup. It's really good because it allows one person to get solo exp / gold while you jungle. Learning to stack camps for yourself without slowing down the jungle rotation, camping runes, & looking for early ganks are all things you can do to keep the mind / fingers busy. Though remember in the big picture you're going to be coming out of the gates at ten minutes as a monster to deal with so it's important for you stay on target. Taking Ursa to the Jungle is actually one of my favorite ways to play. Commonly the enemy team just loses track of you completely or has to devote a large amount of energy into trying to slow you down. Even with warded camps you can pretty easily navigate medium to hard difficulty creep spawns at low level. This also greatly smooths the transition into hitting a nicely timed Roshan window because nobody is going to notice you're gone when you leave the jungle to go do it. It also allows for the surprise ganks on the safe lane if your team happens to have a decent stun line up. The absolute worse thing that can really happen is they devote a Bounty Hunter to completely dicking with you & nothing else. (this will occasionally happen) When playing Ursa in the Jungle we're going to go quite a different build then the ones I pointed out above. Though lets keep in mind the entire reason behind the jungle over lane is it's stability. In lane you might get put up against double ranged, double stuns, a tri, or hell have a partner that is jacking your last hits all the time. We know there's more gold in lane but having a solid start every time allows you to remove variables that can greatly effect your launch into mid game.
I toggle with myself daily and it sucks. Saturday I had a nightmare about her. She was so beautiful and tranquil, yet she was servicing another man with her pretty mouth. My reaction was like any other’s of pure disdain and self-hate, and once I awoke the depression hit heavy. I no longer wanted to bother and especially didn’t want to be haunted so often by what was and will never be. Thankfully I found fellow sufferers later in that night and for the time being, I care enough to continue. For it may become, or it may not but the agenda is always the same: comfort, distraction, and maintenance.
We want to show that Israel is not acting provocatively.”The official added that Israel has repeatedly committed to maintaining the status quo and looks forward to increased cooperation with the Wakf Muslim religious trust to maintain order at the site.Kerry told reporters in Amman that Netanyahu has “reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to upholding the unchanged status quo of the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif both in word and in practice.”Israel fully respects the special relationship the Hashemite Kingdom has to the site as outlined in the 1994 peace treaty with Jordan, Kerry said.The secretary of state reaffirmed that no change had been made to the long standing policy in which only Muslims can worship at the site, which hosts al-Aksa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.“Israel will continue to enforce its longstanding policy on religious worship at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif, including the fundamental fact that it is Muslims who pray on the Temple Mount/ Haram al-Sharif and non-Muslims who visit,” said Kerry.He added “Israel has no intention of dividing the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif and it rejects completely any attempt to suggest otherwise.”Israel and the Jordanian Wakf plan to strengthen security arrangements and to increase coordination to ensure that visitors and worshipers show restraint and respect for the sanctity of the site, Kerry said.“We must stress the importance of avoiding provocativeactions and rhetoric, and we must work cooperatively” to restore calm and to return to the “critical effort of achieving a lasting peace.”But Abbas told Kerry on Saturday that Netanyahu was violating the status quo on the Temple Mount and that he was lying when he stated otherwise, according to PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat.“Before the year 2000, tourists used to enter the Haram al-Sharif [Temple Mount] under the guard of the employees of the Wakf department and non-Muslims were not allowed to pray there,” Erekat said.
People just pick up LCS players, ULCS, or LCK players and bring them to be in their challenger circuit. So the purpose of really having that didn’t even make sense at that stage.

In the midst of the chaos of Hurricane Sandy, National Grid, employing thousands of IBEW members in New York and New England, decided to roll out a new computer system to account for overtime pay and expenses. Many never got paid for hours of work that they had invested in restoring power to their communities. Syracuse, N.Y., Local 97 filed a lawsuit to restore lost wages. On Sept. 26, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced a settlement with National Grid, committing the company to pay nearly $5 million to hourly employees. In a news release, Schneiderman said, “Some of the affected employees in this case reported that they were unable to repair their own homes after the storm because of National Grid’s underpayments … National Grid’s workers will receive some compensation—and an explanation—for the financial hardship they endured in the aftermath of the storm.” “They looked out for the people,” Local 97 Business Manager Ted Skerpon told Syracuse.com, lauding Schneiderman’s settlement. Local 97 is ending its lawsuit as a result of the settlement. Workers will receive $750 each. Several hundred consultants from Ernst & Young worked out of National Grid’s building in Syracuse for one year—at the company’s expense—on issues related to the computer problems, reported Syracuse.com. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley reached a similar settlement for National Grid workers in that state. The Utility Workers Union of America, the United Steelworkers and IBEW worked with Coakley’s office to document the financial losses resulting from havoc caused by National Grid’s new $365 million computer system. National Grid cooperated with both state investigations. “In the midst of a fiery national debate over the role of government, it’s always gratifying to see public servants doing their jobs well— looking out for the interests of working families, not just the wealthy and powerful,” says International President Edwin D. Hill, praising Schneiderman and Coakley for their intervention in National Grid pay issues.
Seattle’s $15 minimum wage law goes into effect on April 1, 2015. As that date approaches, restaurants across the city are making the financial decision to close shop. The Washington Policy Center writes that “closings have occurred across the city, from Grub in the upscale Queen Anne Hill neighborhood, to Little Uncle in gritty Pioneer Square, to the Boat Street Cafe on Western Avenue near the waterfront.” Of course, restaurants close for a variety of reasons. But, according to Seattle Magazine, the “impending minimum wage hike to $15 per hour” is playing a “major factor.” That’s not surprising, considering “about 36% of restaurant earnings go to paying labor costs.” Seattle Magazine, “Washington Restaurant Association’s Anthony Anton puts it this way: “It’s not a political problem; it’s a math problem.” “He estimates that a common budget breakdown among sustaining Seattle restaurants so far has been the following: 36 percent of funds are devoted to labor, 30 percent to food costs and 30 percent go to everything else (all other operational costs). The remaining 4 percent has been the profit margin, and as a result, in a $700,000 restaurant, he estimates that the average restauranteur in Seattle has been making $28,000 a year. “With the minimum wage spike, however, he says that if restaurant owners made no changes, the labor cost in quick service restaurants would rise to 42 percent and in full service restaurants to 47 percent.” Restaurant owners, expecting to operate on thinner margins, have tried to adapt in several ways including “higher menu prices, cheaper, lower-quality ingredients, reduced opening times, and cutting work hours and firing workers,” according to The Seattle Times and Seattle Eater magazine. As the Washington Policy Center points out, when these strategies are not enough, businesses close, “workers lose their jobs and the neighborhood loses a prized amenity.” A spokesman for the Washington Restaurant Association told the Washington Policy Center, “Every [restaurant] operator I’m talking to is in panic mode, trying to figure out what the new world will look like… Seattle is the first city in this thing and everyone’s watching, asking how is this going to change?”
This is the second weekend that the police have swarmed the Crown Street bar district to crack down on club violations and quality-of-life crimes as part of “Operation Nightlife.” The previous weekend, police stopped 47-year-old Amtrak engineer Mark “Big Tone” Maloney on his motorcycle on Crown Street as part of the crackdown one evening. Maloney claimed one of the officers hit him, handcuffed him, illegally searched him, and threatened to “crack” his “fucking skull”—over what turned out to be a noise violation, for which he received a ticket. Maloney admitted his motorcycle is loud. Chief Limon, who happened to be in the district, promised to look into the matter. Read about that here. What Yale’s Dean Wrote Following is the text of two campus-wide emails Yale Dean Miller sent this weekend about the Alchemy/Elevate incident: ————- October 2, 2010 To Students in Yale College: I write to you regarding the events of last night on Crown Street. The masters, deans, and I know you have serious concerns about the reported behavior of the New Haven Police as the dance at Elevate was drawing to an end. We take these reports seriously. Let me assure you that all the students involved are safe. Collecting the facts about last night and figuring out the best way to respond to the larger issues will necessarily take some time, and we ask your patience with that. But we cannot and will not wait to have discussions among ourselves, share experiences, and offer support to one another. If you would like to share your observations with me and other administrative colleagues, please send them to Marichal Gentry, Dean of Student Affairs ([email protected]). We are collecting them in order to build a comprehensive picture of the events that unfolded. I have already been in touch with New Haven authorities, and I will be assembling a team of administrators to reach out to them. For anyone who wishes to do so, there are formal channels for filing complaints about police behavior and actions. Our experience is that the leadership of the New Haven Police will take any complaints very seriously and will conduct, in response to them, an internal investigation. If you wish to pursue this avenue, information is available on the New Haven Police web site.

The database was used in the context of a face recognition project carried out in collaboration with the Speech, Vision and Robotics Group of the Cambridge University Engineering Department. There are ten different images of each of 40 distinct subjects. For some subjects, the images were taken at different times, varying the lighting, facial expressions (open / closed eyes, smiling / not smiling) and facial details (glasses / no glasses). All the images were taken against a dark homogeneous background with the subjects in an upright, frontal position (with tolerance for some side movement). The files are in PGM format. The size of each image is 92x112 pixels, with 256 grey levels per pixel. The images are organised in 40 directories (one for each subject), which have names of the form sX, where X indicates the subject number (between 1 and 40). In each of these directories, there are ten different images of that subject, which have names of the form Y.pgm, where Y is the image number for that subject (between 1 and 10).

Police did not protect my husband despite us giving them all the mobile numbers from where the calls were being made and filing two FIRs.”“If they had arrested the people we had named, maybe my husband would have been alive today,” Savita said.An autopsy was conducted on Sharma’s body while DNA samples and viscera were sent to the forensic lab to ascertain the cause of death. The car, too, was sent for a technical investigation. “We will conduct a thorough investigation and anyone found to be responsible for Sharma’s death will be brought to book,” the SP said.
If you haven't yet read that mothers who lived near farms have more kids with autism, you will. The reason, it is said, is because farms use pesticides. You're not off the hook, organic farmers. The results are from California and there are lots and lots of organic pesticides in use in the study area.The first question should be, how could such a thing happen? I don't ingest pesticides, and neither should you. People don't ordinarily do that, you'd have to really try to do that, unless you live out in the fields. In its coverage of this story, Reuters finds someone to speculate That someone would be Dr. Philip Landrigan, epidemiologist and pediatrician at Mount Sinai in New York, who is the go-to guy for this sort of thing. Everyone from the New York Times to the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works has quoted him, implicating pesticides in everything from ADHD to cancer to autism.But that is not really how pesticide application works. We can forgive a New York City pediatrician if they have never visited a farm, or for not knowing that people also use pesticides in and around their homes, sometimes four or more times per year. Speculation aside, the public will be concerned about toxicological harm to kids because there is a template for concern - 50 years ago thalidomide, the nausea drug for pregnant women, clearly caused harm in babies. Every environmental fund-raiser compares their scary chemical of the week to it even today.But the authors of the paper in Environmental Health Perspectives don't even know if any of the mothers actually breathed in pesticides or were exposed to them in any way. All they know is that mothers of kids with an autism spectrum diagnosis in the agricultural Sacramento region were more likely to live near a farm that used pesticides. That's common in this region, I live here, and I am within 2 miles of a farm even though I am in a city of 50,000 people. Yet their results counter-intuitively found that living closer to pesticide-using farms was better. The Odds Ratios for people who lived closer (1.25 KM) to farms were weaker than for people who lived farther away (1.5 KM). Weak associations that make no sense often mean it is coincidence that everyone but the authors can see.So given that first weakness, why did UC Davis let a graduate student imply the science was settled?

The designs are highly influenced by Japanese mecha and anime like Ghost in the Shell and Ex Machina. However, I still wanted them to have an old WW2/1950s feel, like what if Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution never came to be. The company is called Shogo Heavy Industries and they produced experimental weapons and armor for the Japanese military before the Great War.The Shogo Heavy Industries base of operation in located north of Goodsprings near the Khan Encampment and death claws. If you cannot find it save your game, then press the ` key to bring up the console and type tmm 1 then hit enter. This should show all map markers on your pipboy. Then load your game back up to get rid of all the map markers.The vendor inside the base sells high quality advanced weaponry and armor. The vendor also sells placeable turrets. Make sure you buy the 'Turret Tool'. Its important because you need it so you can hit the turrets you place to pack them back into your inventory. The turrets fall under the consumables(AID) section in your pipboy inventory. Make sure you have lots of caps because all the items are very expensive.

So I’ve a good feeling about it, no pressure for the core, freedom for the users that want to do more crazy stuff. 2. Replication version 2 So, that’s going to be very useful in production from the POV of operations. At some point in the past we introduced what is known as “PSYNC”. It was a new master-slave protocol that allowed the master and the salve to continue from where they were, if the connection between the two broke. Before that, every single connection break in the replication link between master and slave would result into a full synchronization: generate an RDB file in the master, transfer it, load it in the slave, ok you know how this works. So PSYNC was like a real improvement. But not enough… PSYNC was not good enough when there was a failover. If a slave is promoted to master, the slaves that replicated with the old master were not able to connect to the new promoted slave and PSYNC with it: a full resynchronization was needed. This is not great, and is not good for Redis Cluster as well. However fixing this required to do changes to the replication protocol, because I really wanted to make sure that partial resyncs where going to work after any possible topology change, as long as there was a common replication history among the instances. So the first change needed was about how “chained replication” works, that is, slaves of slaves of slaves … How do they work? Like, A is the master, and we have something like that: A —> B —> C —> D So A is the master of B but B is the master of C and so forth. Before Redis 4.0 what was happening is that B received the replication protocol from A. The replication protocol is, normally, a stream of write commands. B acted as a master for C just doing, internally, what A was doing: at every write it was generating again a suitable replication protocol to pass to C, and so forth. Now instead B just proxies, verbatim, what it receives from A to C, and C will do the same for D: given that all the sub slaves now receive an identical stream of bytes, they can “tag” a given history, and use the tag and the offset to always try to continue if they have something in common.
It didn’t admit to discrimination, but it did agree to reiterate a prohibition against profiling in a commissioner’s memo to commanders, and to turn over timely data about stops. related story Is Stop and Frisk Working? "Guzman estimates he was stopped by police 20 times in 2012 alone. 'Multiply that number by the last 15 years of my life and you'll have an idea of how many times I've been stopped,' Guzman told me." Read the full January 2013 story by Jesse Alejandro Cottrell None of this constrained what happened on the street. Under Giuliani’s successor, Michael Bloomberg, and his police chief, Raymond Kelly, the numbers climbed year after year: in 2011, the police recorded 686,000 stops. Only about 12 percent of these ended in an arrest or a summons. Between 2002 and 2013, says Donna Lieberman, the head of the New York Civil Liberties Union, “innocent people were subjected to this by-no-means-minor intrusion more than 4.4 million times.” Meanwhile, though, the city grew far more secure, proving, it seemed, that New York’s mayors and police chiefs were right to have faith in their ability to impose safety. During the past two decades, the rate of what are termed “index” offenses—homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, auto theft, larceny, and arson—has been cut by 75 percent in New York. These crimes have been largely erased from the city. The change feels almost magical, and suggests something stunning about the possibility of fixing overwhelming societal problems, and of enabling urban metamorphosis. Inspired by such progress, police departments from Newark to Los Angeles, where Bratton became chief after his tenure under Giuliani, followed New York’s lead, many of them hiring Bratton’s former top brass. Proactive and preventive became terms of art in policing. In Newark, Director DeMaio, a 28-year veteran of Newark’s force (who has just retired), dated the beginning of the surge in field inquiries back to the late 1990s. Comparisons of stop-and-frisk rates are tricky, but my own research indicates that in recent years, the police departments in Newark, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Baltimore have all rivaled or exceeded the NYPD at its most confrontational. Because of the lack of statistics tracking the inception and rise of aggressive stop-and-frisk strategies in cities like these, as well as the dearth of probing research into the use of all proactive tactics, it isn’t possible to graph new policies with new levels of safety around the country.
Note that this ImageView is stored as a, so that a download in progress does not prevent a killed activity's ImageView from being garbage collected. This explains why we have to check that both the weak reference and theare not null (i.e. were not collected) before using them inThis simplified example illustrates the use on an, and if you try it, you'll see that these few lines of code actually dramatically improved the performance of the ListView which now scrolls smoothly. Read Painless threading for more details on AsyncTasks.However, a ListView-specific behavior reveals a problem with our current implementation. Indeed, for memory efficiency reasons, ListView recycles the views that are displayed when the user scrolls. If one flings the list, a given ImageView object will be used many times. Each time it is displayed the ImageView correctly triggers an image download task, which will eventually change its image. So where is the problem? As with most parallel applications, the key issue is in the ordering. In our case, there's no guarantee that the download tasks will finish in the order in which they were started. The result is that the image finally displayed in the list may come from a previous item, which simply happened to have taken longer to download. This is not an issue if the images you download are bound once and for all to given ImageViews, but let's fix it for the common case where they are used in a list.To solve this issue, we should remember the order of the downloads, so that the last started one is the one that will effectively be displayed. It is indeed sufficient for each ImageView to remember its last download. We will add this extra information in the ImageView using a dedicated Drawable subclass, which will be temporarily bind to the ImageView while the download is in progress. Here is the code of ourclass:This implementation is backed by a, which will result in the ImageView displaying a black background while its download is in progress. One could use a “download in progress” image instead, which would provide feedback to the user. Once again, note the use of a WeakReference to limit object dependencies.Let's change our code to take this new class into account. First, themethod will now create an instance of this class and associate it with the imageView:Themethod will stop the possible download in progress on this imageView since a new one is about to start.
An object was said to have landed in the yard of Mr. Montagne, a railroad employee. (35) 189 Oct. 04, 1954 Lezignan (France). Andre Garcia and Andre Darzais were driving a truck betwem Lagrasse and Villemagne when they saw a luminous object coming slowly to the ground. It measured about 10 m diameter and took off with a burst of light. (35) 190 Oct. 04, 1954 Chaleix (France). A farmer, Mr. Garreau, saw an object the size of a carriage land in his field. Two men of normal height emerged through a sliding door. They wore khaki overalls and were of European type. They shook hands with the witness and said some- thing like: "Paris? Nord?" (According to another version they spoke indistinct words.) They gave a pat on the back to Mr. Garreau's dog and took off at an amazing speed. (37; Magonia) 191 Oct. 04, 1954 Tregon (France). Several people noticed an object evening hovering near a hilltop. They drove to the site, but it flew away. What seems to be the same object was seen at Megrit, 25 km to the southwest, hovering over a farm. It was described as metallic, flat, emitting light (38;M 139) 192 Oct. 04, 1954 Montceau-les-Mines (France). At Les Chavannes, 1830 about 20 people, among them Remy Gaudicourt of Sanvignes, saw a circular, luminous object rise from the vicinity of the railroad tracks. It took off vertically. (M 138) 193 Oct. 04, 1954 Villers-le-Tilleul (France). Ten-year-old Bertiaux saw 1840 an object "like a tent" and an unknown man near it. (Personal) 194 Oct. 04, 1954 Poncey-sur-Lignon (France). Mrs. Fourneret, a house- 2000 wife, ran away as an orange, circular object 3 m in diameter swung in mid-air and landed near her farm. When Messrs. Girardot and Vincent arrived with rifles, they found that the earth had been "sucked up" over a quadrilateral area. Francois Bouiller con- firmed he had seen a luminous object in flight. Ex- tensive investigation by French Air Force and police. (37; M 134; Anatomy 71) 195 Oct. 05, 1954 Roverbello (Italy). A fisherman met with a red-clad being who spoke an unknown language. No details. (Quincy) 196 Oct. 05, 1954 Loctudy (France). A baker, P. Lucas, was draining 0400 water from a well when he noticed an object some distance away. It was circular, about 3 m diameter.
Although numerous qualitative reconstructions of the LIG have been reported (Trauth et al. , 2003 ; Sirocko et al. , 2005 ; Brook et al. , 2006 ; Kieniewicz and Smith, 2007 ; Van Nieuwenhove et al. , 2008 ), the magnitude of inferred changes around the globe is problematic to interpret. As an alternative strategy, we have compiled a global dataset comprising 263 published ice, marine and terrestrial sequences spanning the LIG that also contain a quantified estimate of annual temperature. Data were obtained from individual site reports, supplemented by records archived by the NOAA Paleoclimatology Program ( www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/paleo.html ) and Pangaea database ( www.pangaea.de ) (see online supporting information for site locations and sources). Because of dating uncertainties over this period, sea surface (obtained using a combination of Sr–Ca, U k′ 37 , Mg–Ca, diatom and radiolarian transfer functions) and ice core (using δ 18 O) temperature estimates were taken across the isotopic plateau associated with the LIG; terrestrial temperature estimates (based on pollen, macrofossil and Coleoptera) were developed over the period of maximum warmth and assumed to be broadly synchronous with the ocean and ice δ 18 O plateau. Where uncertainties were not reported for individual marine temperature reconstructions, conservative estimates were assumed (see online supporting information) (Barrows et al. , 2007 ). To develop a robust comparison to today, mean annual terrestrial temperatures for each palaeosite location were taken from the AD 1961–1990 estimate from the nearest 0.5° × 0.5° grid cell ( www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg.htm ; New et al. , 1999 ); contemporary ocean records were obtained over the same period from the nearest 2° × 2° grid cells ( www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/ ; Smith and Reynolds, 1998 ). Differences between the LIG and today were averaged within gridded boxes 45° latitude by 30° longitude, followed by zonal, hemispheric and global averaging.
If Americans lose a job or fall on hard times, they don’t want to go hat in hand to some government bureaucrat and have to lay out their financial problems to get some special favor. What Americans Want What Americans want is affordable health coverage provided in as simple a package as possible. That was the finding of a New York Times/CBS News poll which discovered widespread confusion about the health proposals taking shape in Congress, but more than 2-1 support for a public option to compete with private insurers -- 65 percent for a public option, 26 percent against and 9 percent no opinion. [NYT, Sept. 25, 2009] After all, one of the attractions of the public option is its relative simplicity and cost-effectiveness. It could piggyback on the existing Medicare bureaucracy and thus get started quickly and cheaply. According to congressional budget analysts, it is the only plan that offers significant cost savings. Cost savings would not only help reduce the federal deficit but they would mean that more Americans would get the health care they need without going broke. In other words, it would save lives, reduce housing foreclosures, and protect families now being ripped apart by brutal financial pressures. Yet, despite this common sense – and broad voter support for the public option – the Senate Finance Committee rejected the idea. Chairman Baucus conceded that the concept was appealing, but he joined other conservative Democrats in voting no, claiming a public option couldn’t clear the 60-vote hurdle to stop a Republican filibuster. So, instead of trying to rally the votes – or using the “reconciliation process” that allows a simple majority to enact legislation having budget implications – Baucus kept on cobbling together a nearly incomprehensible construct of tax credits, income formulas, fees and other mumbo-jumbo. This modified Baucus bill is in line to win final committee approval this week. According to Washington’s “conventional wisdom,” it will then become the vehicle for action by the full Senate, where Democratic leaders have been ambivalent about a public option. Some observers feel the best chance for the public option to survive may be with a trigger mechanism that would permit it in some parts of the country sometime in the future if private industry doesn’t offer enough competition.
Danny "the activist" is heard saying: "Well let the gunfire sound then," right before asking someone off camera, "Did you tell him to get the gunfire ready?" Then explosions are heard directly after but Danny doesn't seem to be startled by it. To coincide with the Fake CNN Anderson Cooper interview, the camera man and Danny are clearly appearing to be coordinating props, staged explosions, and gunfire for those watching. Now, despite all of the violent explosions and seemingly dangerous location Danny is in he seems to be perfectly calm with absolutely not a worry in the world! Danny has appeared on many television shows and his stories of war torn Syria seem to change each time he appears.This is not the first time CNN has been caught manufacturing news. Charles Jaco was the CNN reporter famous for covering the 1990 Persian Gulf War. The following video shows the stage set he was on, and he was clowning around with fellow CNN staff. The Saudi Arabian hotel in the background were fake palm trees, and a blue wall in a studio!The clip below was leaked by CNN staff...Reporter starts talking at 0:14Reporter: Syria has been on the brink of civil war for a few months now. We decided to verify this situation in person (on our own skins). We find ourselves in the city of Latakia, where supposedly there is armed conflict between citizens, but the situation simply seems very different. Please, do you have something to eat? Thank you, thank you very much. Oh, thank you! Oh unbelievable! Let's let the natives themselves tell us what is going on here.Citizen: I've been living here for a year and a half and so far I have not seen any demonstrations/protests. I normally go shopping to the market and then I come here. Everything is normal. Relaxed.Kid: We don't worry about it. We talk about school, we play, and we don't pay attention to these problems.Reporter: Did Syrian soldiers ever shoot at you?Citizen: I haven't seen anyone here from the Syrian army. Those are things from Al Jezeera and Al Arabia.Citizen #2: They never shot at us. Those are our cousins, our kids, sisters. Army, those are our people. There is no way they would shoot at their families.
This is bad to happen in the middle of a LAN party.The available capacity on the service at your venue will determine the maximum number of guests you can host at your LAN.60 AMPs = 16 Lanners.120 AMPs = 32 Lanners.240 AMPs = 64 Lanners.480 AMPs = 128 Lanners... Big event!It is also possible to increase the available capacity. See below about bringing in an electrician, or renting a generator.Make no assumptions about which circuits the outlets are on; test them all. The easiest way is to have a helper go from outlet to outlet with a lamp or similar device while you flip circuit breakers on and off until you locate which circuit the outlet is on. Label your outlets and circuits for future reference!Example electrical circuit map corresponding to outlets:Just like the circuits they run on, extension cords have an AMP capacity. If you connect a typical 15 AMP cord to a circuit pushing out 25 AMPs, it will eventually heat up and catch fire.If your power bars have an internal circuit breaker of 15 AMPs, they will help protect you against extension cords getting too warm.On circuits higher than 15 AMPs, you'll want to use multiple sets of extension cords and power bars instead of one. Limit each set to 3 desktop computers each. You can encourage this by covering all but 3 outlets on a power bar (duct tape works well), and instructing guests to not chain power bars off their neighbor.When finding extension cords, ensure they have a rated capacity of 15 AMPs or higher. (12AWG or 14AWG wire is acceptable. Never use 16AWG or 18AWG, they will melt under heavy use.) Do not use damaged or frayed extension cords.Sounds easy, but problems occur when guests receive inadequate direction and resort to plugging in "anywhere". 9 out of 10 times they will plug into their neighbors power bars until the breakers trip. (Or something burns, if you're using high AMP circuits!). Be pro-active during setup!Assume that a breaker will trip at least once during your party, because it probably will.Ensure your venue realistically has the power you need to host the number of guests you plan to have, in the layout you want. 100 guests have very different power requirements than 30 guests.If your venue suffers from an inadequate power distribution, one of the following options may help:If you need more power, just get a certified electrician to help you with your distribution setup.
An NHS midwife whose leg was amputated above the knee after she was hit by a Tesco lorry in October 2015 has said she is hugely disappointed after the driver of the lorry was fined just £625 and given five points on his licence after he pled guilty to driving without due care and attention at Blackfriars Crown Court on Friday 12 August 2016.Julie Dinsdale [53] was crushed under the wheels of the lorry, driven by Florin Oprea as it turned left, across her path, into Central St from Old Street in Central London on 4 October 2015.The Court heard how Mr Oprea had been driving in the UK for four months before starting work for Tesco on 1 October 2015, four days before the incident. He had held a HGV licence for 18 months but had been working mainly in Italy before coming to the UK.The Court heard that just days before the collision a driving assessor recommended Mr Oprea needed to use his nearside mirrors more when driving.The day of the collision with Ms Dinsdale was Mr Oprea’s first day working alone and it was alleged he was not following the route provided by Tesco, however, Mr Oprea argued that he was following his satellite navigation system through Central London.Ms Dinsdale was run over by the lorry as it overtook her and turned left across her path into Central Street.
Dog-Fighting Scandal But there would be no Super Bowl parades. Plagued by poor decision-making, a questionable circle of friends, and arrogance, Vick's life and career began to spiral downward. Over the next two seasons, the Falcons' fortunes slipped. They finished around .500 and, while Vick continued to put up good numbers, there were concerns about his maturity and his ability to handle the stardom that had been thrust upon him. While Vick had talked openly about wanting to leave Newport News (he often referred to it as "Bad Newz," a nickname he later gave his kennel and dog fighting ring) his hometown was never far behind him. His sprawling $3.8 million home in Duluth, Georgia, was a veritable playground for Vick and his childhood pals. Yet trouble seemed to be always nipping at Vick's heels. In 2004, two men driving a truck owned by Vick were arrested for transporting a large quantity of marijuana. Vick was never prosecuted. The following year, a woman sued him for allegedly giving her a sexually transmitted disease. The QB settled the case out of the court. More serious trouble, however, came two years later. In April 2007, authorities investigating drug activity related to a cousin of Vick's raided a property owned by the football star in Surry County, Virginia. The raid unveiled an entrenched dog-fighting scene that included a number of injured animals. Vick denied any connection to the ring, even going so far as to tell NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in person that he had nothing to do with it. But as pressure mounted, and the evidence connecting Vick to the ring increased, the Falcons QB pled guilty. In August 2007, he admitted he had bankrolled and participated in the operation. The NFL suspended Vick indefinitely. Still, it wasn't until October of 2007, following an intense 5-hour grilling by FBI agents, that Vick admitted to killing dogs himself. "I did it all," he is reported to have said. "I did everything. If you need me to say more, I'll say more."
There is surely something here to dampen the intolerance of fanatics who cannot listen to a contrary opinion to their own without exasperation. They should learn, then, poor wretches, that they are themselves necessarily disloyal to their principles, that their political creeds are tissues of inconsistencies; and may those in power, for their part, learn not to see seditious sentiments in the discussion of alternative modes of government! In grasping once and for all that terms such as monarchy, democracy, and so on express merely theoretical conceptions, the royalist will remain calm when faced with words such as social contract, popular sovereignty, universal suffrage, and so on; the democrat, in hearing of dynasties, absolute power, divine right, will smilingly preserve his sang-froid. There is no true monarchy; there is no true democracy. Monarchy is the primitive, physiological, and so to speak patronymic form of the state; it lives in the people's hearts, and attests visibly and forcibly to the general tendency to unity. Democracy in turn is in ferment all around us; it entrances generous souls, and everywhere seizes hold of the elite of society. But the dignity of our time requires us to break once and for all with these illusions, which all too often degenerate into lies. Contradiction lies at the root of all programs. The tribunes of the people swear unwittingly by monarchy; the kings, by democracy and anarchy. After the coronation of Napoleon I, the words French Republic were long to be seen on one face of our coins, while the other bore, with Napoleon's picture, the title Emperor of the French. In 1830 Lafayette termed Louis-Phillippe's reign the best of republics; was he not also termed the king of the landlords? Garibaldi honoured Victor Emmanuel as Lafayette had Louis-Phillipe. Later, indeed, Lafayette and Garibaldi seemed to regret this; but their first views are to be remembered, especially as any retraction would be deceptive. No democrat can claim to be innocent of all monarchism; no partisan of monarchy can pride himself on his freedom from all republicanism. It is the case that since democracy has not been able to reject the dynastic position, any more than the unitary idea, the partisans of the two systems have no right to excommunicate one another, and tolerance is appropriate to them both.
Yet McConnell says while the city, in response to the auditor’s recommendations, changed paid-duty requirements three years ago, these new “crystal clear” rules are being overlooked. “Torontonians are paying for this one way or another,” McConnell said. “If your condominium uses paid duty, that is included in the selling cost of your unit. If the road closure and repaving of a road is done by an outside construction company, they include the paid duty in the cost to the city.” Festivals across Toronto are also being affected by high paid duty, McConnell said. Last month, some councillors balked when they saw the estimated cost for paid-duty officers during the Open Streets program – a proposal to close Bloor Street to cars for four Sundays this summer from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The TPS said they would need 250 police officers to handle the event at a cost of $839,092. A report prepared by the TPS to explain why paid-duty — and not regularly scheduled members of the service — would be needed. Police officers “have already adapted vacation times and family commitments to support current city events and commitments” and “the remaining front line policing services will already be significantly impacted during the summer, especially in light of the reduced staffing levels.” The summer is also the busiest time of the year. Kevin Beaulieu, executive director of this year’s World Pride festival, June 20-29, said Friday organizers are working with the city and police to ensure the safety and security of participants. He played down paid-duty policing costs. “It’s a cost, it’s a pressure, but there is a dialogue, it’s not arbitrary, we’re involved in the process and work through any issues related to it.” Christian Leuprecht, a politics professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, said the paid-duty phenomenon is “puzzling.” “In many Quebec municipalities civilian security guards who work for the city do the exact same job at a fraction of the costs,” says Leuprecht, author of a recently published paper called The Blue Line or the Bottom Line of Policing in Canada? “There’s a simple reason why police insist on billing for these tasks: this is all paid as overtime and police have come to ‘expect’ a certain amount of overtime as part of their compensation package. In effect, it’s a salary subsidy,” he wrote in email.

Nintendo's 3DS console is set to break through the 1 million sales barrier in the UK, Gfk Chart-Track data has revealed.But the handheld system will have taken around three months longer than its predecessor to reach the magic figure once it passes the milestone early next month.According to a source, this week's Gfk Chart-Track report shows the 3DS has sold nearly 950,000 units after 61 weeks on sale.The DS, meanwhile, reached the one 1 mark in just 51 weeks, back in March 2006.Gfk Chart-Track's business group director Dorian Bloch said that it was important to take the price difference into account when comparing the two handheld consoles.In the 3DS' opening 10 weeks, he revealed that the average price of the system was £202, compared with a mere £98 for the original DS.Since then, of course, Nintendo has slashed the price of the 3DS , with most retailers now charging around £140 for the base system - still around 40 percent higher than the DS' price at an equivalent point after its initial release.Despite its well-publicised early struggles, the 3DS has since put in a robust performance, and by the end of last year the company announced that it had become Nintendo's fastest-selling console , worldwide.The figures are perhaps even more creditable given that the 3DS has faced much stiffer competition in the handheld gaming sector than the DS did in the pre-smartphone era of mid-2006.Worldwide, Nintendo recently announced that the 3DS's installed base had reached 17.13 million units for the financial year ending 31 March 2012.It expects to sell a further 18.5 million units worldwide during the current financial year, along with another 2.5 million DSi consoles.By comparison, Sony recently announced that it expects to sell 10 million PS Vita units in the same period, bringing its total installed base up to 11.8 million across the world.PocketGamer.biz was also able to exclusively reveal that Vita sales in the UK have just passed 100,000 units , 10 weeks after it first hit the shop shelves.

“When the tall man told you how to make the curtains open in our bedroom, remember that? Pressing that button thingy? Did he just tell you, or did he come into the room and show you?” I knew what Toby was going to say. “We were looking and couldn’t find it, and he came in and showed us. He was on his phone then, too, when he came in our room. Like I said, he’s always on his phone. He never says anything, he just keeps looking at his phone.”
Whilst Tunisia’s example of technology allowing for a relatively peaceful transition from totalitarianism to democracy is a rare one (Syria, Libya and Yemen have all collapsed into bloody civil wars) it is unreasonable to see this as a failure of economic globalisation. Rather, the turmoil of these countries is due to a host of socio-economic factors and represents a failure of the international community. In fact, whilst the outlook for these countries is undeniably bleak in the short term, at the end of the civil wars there is at least hope that the negotiated peace will involve at a minimum a move towards democracy.

Both JBoss EAP 6 and Oracle GlassFish Server do have a commercial license (as to my understanding) but they still rely on the OSS server products and the licensed version is only relevant if you want to have support. With the next step I am going to kick all the servers which don't offer vendor support:Which brings us down to three. Still not really a single result. Now lets intentionally remove IBM because they are not certified on HotSpot but use their own IBM JVM J9.That leaves us with JBoss AS 7 and GlassFish as the only real options today according to my little evaluation.One could call me afraid of selection a single winner here. If you know me, you know that this simply isn't true. Given the initial metrics this is exactly the outcome and obviously the selected metrics are not sufficient enough to appoint a clear winner.If you need a final recommendation you have to tweak the metrics to your needs. I would recommend looking a little bit further into:- Market reach (e.g. downloads/customers/etc. )- Maturity (e.g. availability in years since EE 6 final version)- Development Performance (e.g. Startup-Time/IDE integration)Remark:I'm sorry for the fact, that I mixed the commercial offerings from Oracle and RedHat with the related OSS servers a bit. Given the fact, that I wanted to see a OSS server would have lead to a knock-out criteria with the vendor support requirement. Given the fact, that I really don't want to propose to use AS7.1.1.Final to anybody (see a very nice summary of the reasons done by henk) I personally think, that it is fair to recommend the commercial side for both servers.
A moral catastrophe unfolded on the floor of the U.S. Senate on Monday. Forty-four Democratic senators voted against legislation that would have required doctors to give the same care to infants who survive abortion procedures that they would give to any other infant.One after another, Democratic senators took to the floor to smear the bill as an attack on women’s health care, a baseless criticism that they failed to substantiate. In the process, they revealed their belief that allowing unwanted infants to perish after birth constitutes a form of women’s health care.Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) reintroduced his Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in direct response to Virginia governor Ralph Northam’s endorsement of permitting mothers and doctors to let infants die of neglect. “The infant would be delivered,” Northam said, explaining a hypothetical case in which a woman in labor wanted an abortion. “The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”This “discussion” is what Democrats voted on Monday to preserve - a discussion not about health-care options for women but about whether or not to extend health care of any kind to newborn infants. With their votes and their speeches, 44 U.S. senators embraced Ralph Northam’s position, which, despite attempting to clarify, he has never retracted.“I want to ask each and every one of my colleagues whether or not we’re okay with infanticide,” Sasse said at the start of floor debate on Monday. “This language is blunt. I recognize that. It is too blunt for many people in this body. But frankly, that is what we’re talking about here today.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has known for more than a decade that antidepressants pose immense harm to patients, particularly children, which is why it implemented "black box" warnings in 2004 for users under the age of 24. The labels clearly state that the drugs up your chances of becoming suicidal or intensify preexisting suicidal thoughts and behavior.Yet, irresponsible physicians continue to push harmful drugs on children and teens that alter brain chemistry. Not only that, but doctors are increasingly prescribing the drugs for off-label uses.This was substantiated just weeks ago in a study published in the May issue of the, which found that nearly half of people prescribed antidepressants aren't even depressed After analyzing a decade of antidepressant prescription records, researchers concluded that only 55 percent were given for depression, while the remaining 45 percent was written for conditions such as anxiety, sleeping problems, pain, panic disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Other off-label uses include digestive problems, eating disorders, migraines and menopausal symptoms. Twenty-nine percent of antidepressant prescriptions were written for off-label uses. The study authors expressed grave concerns about the fact that these drugs, which are proven to be dangerous, are being prescribed for conditions for which there is no evidence supporting their efficacy, or safety for that matter.The reason doctors are pushing unproven drugs, is because they're being advised to do so by Big Pharma , and not by scientific research, said the study authors.Further illustrating just how worthless these drugs are, medical researcher Peter Gotzsche said last year that nearly all psychiatric drugs, including antidepressants, could be withdrawn from the market without damaging public health. In fact, he recommends it.
