As such the 350 promises to be the most minimally invasive, lowest overhead RevoDrive released to date.Taken as a whole these improvements should allow the RevoDrive 350 480GB to do exactly what OCZ wants it to do: create a paradigm shift in the PCI-E storage medium, and help the aging RevoDrive series to retake some lost market share that ASUS, Plextor, Intel and countless others have taken for themselves over the past few years. Next: Closer Look at the OCZ RevoDrive 350
It was interesting because I’d go in his office and he’d be talking to Roger Craig about the stock market. You’d think if you go into a football office, they’d be talking about football. Mike and I became friends. When I first came to Nebraska, he took me under his wing. He was quite a guy and a great friend, and a guy you loved working with. You know, Clete Fisher was that same kind of guy as was John Melton. They are guys I’ll never forget for their loyalty. They taught me a lot about Nebraska football when I arrived and I kind of followed them around for a while to see what was going on because you’ve got to learn about all aspects of the program to be a good football coach.
“The righteous man will rejoice when he sees revenge… There is, then, a reward for the righteous; there is, indeed, divine justice on earth” (Psalms 58:11-12). The promise of and prayer for His vengeance, therefore, reflects the belief that evildoers will ultimately be punished for their sins, and the enemies of the Jewish people will suffer for their centuries of vicious hatred.Divine vengeance should thus not be confused with the rash, impulsive nature of human wrath which can be rooted in raw emotions, not rational judgment. When executed thoughtfully and properly, however, even human retribution can be a form of justice. As such, the Bible demands vengeance for one of society’s potentially ignored members, the Jewish servant, who has been struck dead by his owner (Exodus 21:20). Willy-nilly, the emotional call for vengeance is what sometimes propels the enactment of justice in this world.The ambivalence toward human vengeance was well-reflected in a talmudic embellishment of a central scene in the Purim story. According to the Talmud, Mordecai kicked Haman while using him as a ladder to climb onto his parade horse. Haman challenged this triumphalism by citing the biblical aphorism, “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls” (Proverbs 24:17). Yet Mordecai responded, “That only applies to Jews, but with regard to your people, the Torah states, ‘And you shall tread on their high places.’” Many commentators noted that such joyful triumphalism is allowed only with the downfall of evil and national enemies, yet not in cases of personal rivalries or matters of lesser importance.The danger of human vengeance was clearly manifested in the murder of Abu Khdeir, who had absolutely no connection with the death of the three Jewish youths and was tortured simply because he was an Arab. Such brutality has nothing to do with the biblical notion of vengeance, and must be shunned and condemned by God-fearing seekers of peace and justice.In contrast, the calculated elimination of the two terrorists by the Israeli army, following the responsible decision of the political echelon, was much more in keeping with biblical notions of vengeance and justice. As the Bible states, “When evildoers are destroyed, there is joy” (Proverbs 11:10).In our imperfect world, humans must join the divine mission of rooting out evil and bringing justice to the world.
He left this brief and transitory life to cross over to that blessed everlasting life where he rejoices with the angels while more clearly and openly contemplating the light of Truth. But his previous body, borne by the holy hands of bishops and all the clergy with torches and with lights, was rested in the crypt which is at Myra. Pilgrims flocked to Myra from all parts of the earth as numerous partakers of his grace. It happened that some lived in the remote regions of Lycia and therefore had to travel for many days; nonetheless undeterred, they resolved to visit the tomb of the saint and partake of sanctification. So they raised their sails and set out on the sea for the metropolis. A malignant demon that once dwelt in the temple of Artemis but had been expelled with many another when glorious Nicholas had toppled the shrine to earth became aware of their sea journey. Partly in hatred for the saint, because Nicholas had destroyed his temple and thereby made him homeless, by his powers trying to exterminate him, but partly also in wanting to keep the pilgrims from the exercise of sanctification, with a wish to undo their plans he disguised himself as a woman, carrying a jar apparently full of oil. The "woman" said to the pilgrims that she would very much like to carry the jar to the saint's tomb, but that she feared the thought of making so long a voyage. For, she said, it is not possible that any woman alive would be so brave as to undertake the difficult sea voyage. "Therefore I ask you to take this jar and present it at the tomb of the saint. There you can fill his lamps with the oil." The horrible demon made this request in words, handing over the jar to the pilgrims. However, as I shall shortly relate, this was the first step in an evil action and one truly worthy of the demon who made it. Then they received it, and the first day of their voyage passed. O faithful servant of God and egregious defender of those in jeopardy, Nicholas! This too was thy task, which was performed miraculously and beyond the power of imagination! For in the night Nicholas appeared to one of them and ordered the jar to be thrown into the deep.

This cheap. By Anne Gearan NEW YORK -- John Podesta -- counselor and enforcer to two presidents, longtime Democratic sage and now the chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign -- stood in line on a Manhattan street corner the other day, waiting to board a bus. He was wearing jeans and running sneakers and carrying a scuffed duffel bag stuffed with dirty laundry. He did not look glamorous. Like fellow passengers, who included thrifty senior citizens and college girls in sorority t-shirts, Podesta was paying just $30 to travel to Washington aboard a Vamoose bus. That’s about a third of the cost of the cheapest Amtrak ticket and less than the taxes on a coach seat on a shuttle flight -- and that's the reason the Clinton campaign has decreed that staffers must schlep on the bus. I'm not doing this for kicks -- trust me, the Amtrak has much more legroom than the bus.

“The Holy Fire ceremony is one of the most important religious occasions in the life of Orthodox Christians. The ceremony takes place on the eve of the Orthodox celebration of Easter when a lamp in the tomb of Jesus at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is kindled. The flame is immediately passed by candles to thousands of worshippers. At this time an olive lamp is also lit and quickly transferred to the West Bank town of Bethlehem. The flame is then passed to other Orthodox Christian communities throughout the world. In recent years access to this ceremony and other religious events taking place in the Old City of Jerusalem has become increasingly difficult for Christians living in the area. West Bank and Gaza Palestinians have extremely limited access to these sites and Jerusalem Palestinians are finding it harder to gain entry to places of worship even on the holiest days in their calendar. Access is controlled by a permit system administered by the Israeli government, a system which has been described as arbitrary and unduly restrictive of freedom of worship. This year thousands of Israeli police officers were deployed on the eve of Orthodox Easter to provide security for the massive celebration. The security, however, became increasingly aggressive and a number of worshippers and clergy were beaten as they tried to make their way closer to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. ………………… This year’s actions are part of a pattern of increasingly aggressive actions by Israeli security forces dating back a decade or more. The US State Department International Religious Freedom Report, found ‘[p]referential treatment [was given] to Jews celebrating Passover and to international visitors making pilgrimages when the authorities enacted restrictions that impeded the activities of local Christians celebrating Easter. Jerusalem Christians had to pass through four police checkpoints before reaching the Church of the Holy Sepulcher; according to Christian advocates, pepper spray was used indiscriminately at the various checkpoints.’ The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem have called for an end to such restrictive practices, demanding full access to the Holy sites during the Holy Weeks in both Christian calendars. Members of the local Palestinian community were even more passionate in their demands, with a Facebook group identified as Palestinian Christians calling on church leaders to ‘[s]ay a word of truth to the Israeli authorities. Let Christians reach freely their Church on the day of their feast.’”
In Arne Duncan’s world, the language of educational reform is defined primarily through the modalities of competition, measurement and quantification. Competition is now one of the most important registers organizing and defining schools and classroom pedagogical practices – no doubt made obvious by the name of Obama’s educational reform policy “Race to the Top,” with its allusion to Wall Street values and casino capitalism. Within this discourse, there seems to be little understanding, as Stuart Hall has argued, “that there is a limit to the good that can be produced by individual competitiveness.”[1] Of course, competition itself is not the problem since competition can be healthy in a number of areas. The real issue is when competition becomes, as Christopher Newfield points out, “the sole organizing principle of society.”[2] And when that happens in educational policies such as those pushed by the Obama administration, one consequence is that the ultimate agent of schooling is modeled after the unattached individual competing for financial rewards, status and a job in the workforce. But there is more at work here than the vulgar instrumentalization of the curriculum, homage to an unchecked mode of market competition and the crude reduction of teacher work to thoughtless methodologies and techniques. There is also a neoliberal agenda in which public money is channeled into the hands of wealthy individuals and corporations. In addition, there is the ongoing infatuation with privatization and the push for charter schools, largely used to siphon off and privilege middle-class students, while promoting forms of tracking and social dumping that often mark underfunded public schools. [3] There is also the push for governance structures shaped in the image of a largely disgraced business culture, whose aim is to restructure the administrative apparatus in public schools as part of a broader political project to weaken the power of faculty and unions, while placing unaccountable power in the hands of corporate elites.
(see: http://tribune.com.pk/story/ 229844/the-day-69-children- died/ ) Wow. So the CI next decides that the teacher of this school needs to be killed. They do not kill him on his way to school, or when he is alone. They wait until he is at the school full of children, THEN they send the missiles. They PURPOSELY wait until they can kill dozens of children too. Could Satan himself top this act of pure evil? If there is a Hell, there is a special place for the murdering, drug running, child killers known as the CIA. Hitler's SS were Cub Scouts in comparison. When the CIA decided that they wanted to kill a 16-year old American kid named Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki, they waited until he was in a Yemeni restaurant with two of his teenaged friends. A drone operator fired the missiles and not only the intended victim, but eight other people died. This is from Wikipedia: "Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki was a 16-year-old American citizen who was killed while eating dinner at an outdoor restaurant in an airstrike by an armed C.I.A. drone in Yemen on October 14, 2011. The attack also killed two of his teenaged friends and five other people in the restaurant, which was reduced to rubble. He had no connection to terrorism and was searching for his father Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by an airstrike by an armed C.I.A. drone two weeks prior to the death of his son." By the way, Obama approved that strike, according to the New York Times. Tough guy. A real leader. Child killer. Would that ever happen in the US? Say if a non-government sanctioned serial killer like Jeffery Dahmler was in a Burger King, would the police or FBI blow up the entire restaurant and kill everyone else inside to get him ? If a really bad guy...robber, rapist, murderer was found to be in his house some night with his wife and four small children, would the police blow up the entire house and everyone in it to get the bad guy? Would the CIA bomb a school full of children in Colorado (where the 16 year old was from) to kill ONE teacher? No, because we value AMERICAN life. Our damned military and the ghouls who give them their orders are rapidly changing for the worst, how we are perceived in the world. We are murderous, racist thugs, killers of children, bombers of weddings and funerals.
White-tailed eagles may be found in varied habitat but usually are closely associated with water and generally occurs in lowland areas. [9] Although mainly a lowland species, the species is known to live at elevations of 1,500 to 2,300 m (4,900 to 7,500 ft) so long as there is water access in some parts of Central Asia and Siberia. [32] In coastal areas, the species may range from high sea cliffs down to low-lying islands and archipelagos. Especially in winter, many white-tailed eagles often frequent low coastal spots, estuaries and coastal marshes. Several studies have supported that coastal areas are preferred when available during winter. [9][2][75] In many areas, white-tailed eagles can seem to switch freely between usually cliff habitat and wooded spots for nesting sites and the center of their home range habitat. [76] In some areas, such as Japan, this species may occur in regions with intensive human fishing activity and they may become unusually partially habituated to this human presence. [9][77] Inland, white-tailed eagles usually require secluded woods, forested areas or groups of trees with tall mature trees and access to freshwater wetlands such as lakes, river systems, marshes or extensive, low-disturbance farmland. [9] In the alluvial wetlands of Croatia, 95% of nests were found within 4 km (2.5 mi) of deep freshwater. [78] In some areas, white-tailed eagles readily visit commercial fish farms, carp ponds and similar areas with easily accessible food but they will usually avoid areas where human disturbances (especially noisy varieties such as construction, water sporting and heavy boating activities and hunting) commonly occur. [3][9][2] However, forestry activity and resulting lessened numbers of tall mature trees and large tree stands in Estonia was found to affect breeding white-tailed eagles less so than it seemed to affect breeding black storks (Ciconia nigra). [79] On the other hand, from studying wintering white-tailed eagles in partially or heavily disturbed wetlands in parts of the Netherlands shows that such areas cannot support the eagles for any long-term period and may only be visited for a day or two by individual eagles. [68]
At the core of surrealism was the desire to express the inexpressible, to give primacy to the logic of dreams and the unconscious in an attempt to excavate authenticty, but its essence was the absolute rejection of realism following the horrors of World War I, or rather “Reality, then, as demonstrated by the realists and as seen by man’s own limited conscious self, entered upon a period of disfavor when it was considered imperfect, transitory, impure. And many of the new writers are characterized by their refusal of reality. Refusal and denial, in terms of reality, become currently used words. This is negative, a movement of anti-realism, but contains, as most negations do, an overwhelming positive aspiration. A new kind of absolute is in sight, which, although it contains a refusal of what we usually call logical intelligence, is an elevation of the subconscious of man into a position of power and magnitude and (the word now forces itself on us) surreality” (Fowlie, 1960, p17). Empiricism (by which we mean Locke’s “British Empiricism” that followed from the rise of the scientific method in the 17th Century A.D. and largely characterizes our modern logical empiricism) was a rejection of pure rationalism in favor of a theory of knowledge that maintained the only understanding humans can have are based on experience, which ultimately leads to the conclusion that if the community does not apprehend what you insist is a reality, it has no more reality than a dream, on top of which our ability to perceive reality at all is questionable and in fact, largely irrelevant (thus sensory aberrations are all the more wanting). But these are flip sides of the same coin. Post-modern philosopher and sociologist Max Horkheimer argued precisely this when he observed, “There is a similarity between logical empiricism and surrealism that does honor to the latter. It is in total agreement with the modern empirical tendency to eliminate all ‘nonconstitutive’ concepts as suspicious atavisms. Why shouldn’t the concept of reality be on the index of forbidden words?” (Horkheimer, 2007, p96).
NEW DELHI: BJP’s focus on beef ban has, of late, raised a debate on how to manage cows after their productive phase. The government will try to find a solution through a brainstorming session on the issue during a national conference on ‘gaushalas’ (cowsheds) on Monday.Idea of the day-long conference is to listen to stakeholders, including farmers and representatives of states where beef has been banned for long, and explore the possibility of opening as many cowsheds ( Gaushalas ) as possible in those states to manage the abandoned cows.“After all, even the non-milk producing cows can be useful if we can use ‘gobar’ (cow dung) in much more scientific way. Cow dung can be a rich source of non-polluting bio-energy. It can also be used to increase and preserve soil fertility”, said an official.He said, “We have many success stories where the cowsheds have even created employment opportunities in rural areas. All these will be shared with the stakeholders during the Conference which may, hopefully, come out with an effective solution to manage cows after end of their productive phase”.The Conference, to be organised jointly by the environment and agriculture ministries, will also discuss ways and means to increase milk production and productivity.Being the world's largest producer and consumer, India produced 146.31 million tones (MT) of milk during 2014-15 as against 137.70 MT in 2013-14. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has, however, projected that the country's demand for milk is expected to be around 155 MT in 2016-17 and 200 MT in 2021-22.Department of animal husbandry of the agriculture ministry will share the details of what it has been doing through ‘Rashtriya Gokul Mission’ to increase milk production in the country through incentives to dairy-farmers.Impact of global warming on India's milk production is one such area which has, of late, caught attention of policy-makers and experts. It has been observed that the temperature rise over the years have affected productivity of cross-bred cows.
In the 16th century, Babur, a Timurid descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan from Fergana Valley (modern-day Uzbekistan), swept across the Khyber Pass and founded the Mughal Empire, covering India, along with modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. [38] The Mughals were descended from Persianised Central Asian Turks (with significant Mongol admixture). In the Mughal era, Uttar Pradesh became the heartland of the empire. [34] Mughal emperors Babur and Humayun ruled from Delhi. [39][40] In 1540 an Afghan, Sher Shah Suri, took over the reins of Uttar Pradesh after defeating the Mughal king Humanyun. [41] Sher Shah and his son Islam Shah ruled Uttar Pradesh from their capital at Gwalior. [42] After the death of Islam Shah Suri, his prime minister Hemu became the de facto ruler of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and the western parts of Bengal. He was bestowed the title of Hemchandra Vikramaditya (title of Vikramāditya adopted from Vedic Period) at his formal coronation took place at Purana Quila in Delhi on 7 October 1556.A month later, Hemu died in the Second Battle of Panipat, and Uttar Pradesh came under Emperor Akbar's rule. [43] Akbar ruled from Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. [44] In the 18th century, after the fall of Mughal authority, the power vacuum was filled by the Maratha Empire, in the mid-18th century, the Maratha army invaded the Uttar Pradesh region, which resulted in Rohillas losing control of Rohilkhand to the Maratha forces led by Raghunath Rao and Malharao Holkar. The conflict between Rohillas and Marathas came to an end on 18 December 1788 with the arrest of Ghulam Qadir, the grandson of Najeeb-ud-Daula, who was defeated by the Maratha general Mahadaji Scindia. In 1803, following the Second Anglo-Maratha War, when the British East India Company defeated the Maratha Empire, much of the region came under British suzerainty. [45]

Okay, so now we know how to resuscitate cards that we're removing from Windows Phone 7 devices, but that's only half the problem; the other half is that we don't know what to replace those cards with. The official guidance at this point is that we need to wait for cards that are specifically certified for Windows Phone 7... and since those cards don't exist yet, we need to hang tight. But what constitutes a certified card, and why can't we get them yet?What we've learned from our tipsters and from documents culled from Microsoft Samsung , and others is that the big issue is random access performance -- a figure that isn't taken into account in a card's class rating. Ironically, Microsoft discovered in its testing that cards with higher class ratings actually performed worse on Windows Phone 7 because the tweaks card manufacturers make to achieve high sequential throughput can actually hurt random access times. There's some rocket science involved here, but basically, it's a tradeoff and a bit of a gamble -- if a manufacturer tunes a card for a high class rating, it takes more time to access the first byte at a new location on the card because it's optimizing access for that area of memory, but once it does that, it can blast sequential bytes at very high speed. If you've got a lot of small reads or writes you need to make to different files at different locations in the card's memory, though, you really start to suffer. Cards with lower class ratings tend to spend less time optimizing sequential access prior to the first read / write operation, so it can move around the card (that is, access it randomly) much faster.Hold up, though -- don't run out and buy the lowest-class microSD card you can find. We're hearing that some of the best-performing cards for Windows Phone 7 can only be bought in bulk by manufacturers at this point, which might partly explain why neither AT&T, Samsung, nor Microsoft were able to immediately step up and recommend some cards to consumers this week.
Help the client take their time. Help the client to not rush to forgive. Whether or not forgiveness will ever be relevant, it is not appropriate in the early stages of recovery. Help the client protect themselves. Beware of the client getting trapped by a sense of pity. Help the client not yield to the inclination to protect or take care of the perpetrator. Even if the client cares deeply for their abuser. The perpetrator is not in need of protection. Help the client explore their feelings around considering or wanting to forgive their abuser. Help the client understand that they can change their mind. Recovery is a dynamic process. Things sometime change. What seems appropriate at on point in their recovery may be counterproductive or irrelevant at another. Help the client understand that forgiveness isn't "all or nothing." Help the client understand that the process of forgiving a person should not take the form of condoning the abuse.

Switzerland is famous for its many different types of hill climbing railways and whilst some of these (nowadays) survive because they provide tourist-orientated services in areas of outstanding natural beauty (and winter ski resorts) there are still some which meet 'real' urban transport needs. One of the best examples used to in the city of Lausanne, where métro line M2 featured the rack & pinion system. Dating back to 1877 the La Ficelle (as it was known then) was constructed to connect the lakeside resort of Ouchy with Flon in the city centre. There were several intermediate stops, one of which was conveniently located for the Swiss Federal Railways Station (Gare CFF). There were two complimentary services, with one being a two-station shuttle between Flon and the Gare CFF and the other serving five stations with electric locomotives powering two-vehicle trains. For safety the locomotive was at the 'downhill' end of the train. As with many 'mountain' railways this line was predominately single-track, albeit with a passing loop in the middle. In Lausanne this loop was located at a station (called Montriond) and gave rise to a most unusual arrangement whereby uphill trains were required to enter the station first so that its tracks could then be used as the station 'platform' for the downhill trains. At quieter times when only one train was in service then both uphill and downhill services used the 'proper' platform. On 22nd January 2006 the line was temporarily closed in connection with a northward extension, a process which included adding several new stations, an upgrade to double-track throughout plus a conversion to driverless automated rubber-tyred "mini-métro" trains which call at stations fitted with platform doors.

3 cups grated cheese (mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack) Instructions Preheat oven to 350° F (177 °C) Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Add the corn and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add the squash and salt. Stir to combine all of the ingredients. Pour the chile sauce into a pie pan. (You're going to dip your tortillas in the chile sauce.) Assembly Depending on the size of the serving dish, you can make 2 to 3 layers, so make that decision ahead of time. My standard enchilada dish (8" x 12" casserole) works nicely with 3 slightly overlapping corn tortillas for each layer; therefore, I make a 3 layer enchilada casserole with this recipe. Starting and ending with a layer of corn tortillas, I use 15 tortillas. The vegetable mixture is divided into 3 parts and the cheese into 4. Spray a casserole dish with oil. Spread “a little” of chile sauce on the bottom of the dish. I do this to keep the tortillas from sticking to the bottom. Dip 3 corn tortillas (depending on size of pan) in the chile sauce and place, overlapping, across the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with about ½ cup of cheese, then 1/3 of the vegetable mixture, ending with about ½ cup green chile sauce. Dip another 3 tortillas in the chile sauce and make another layer with cheese, vegetables and chile sauce. Create a third layer of cheese, vegetables, and chile sauce. Top this layer with the last 3 tortillas, the remaining chile sauce (or as much as you want), and then the last of the cheese. Place in the oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese has browned and the sides are bubbling. Kitchen Notes Flour vs. Corn tortillas - Corn tortillas yield a lighter enchilada, but both are excellent! Dipping the tortillas in the sauce helps to incorporate the sauce throughout the dish and also prevents the tortillas from drying out during the cooking process. Green Chile Sauce - You could use store bought Green chile enchilada sauce or make your own sauce from fresh, canned or frozen roasted green chiles. The amount of green chile sauce you use for each layer depends on how hot the chile sauce is and how hot you want the final dish.
I felt all that rivalry when I ran my bed and breakfast for seven years there, and that is one of the reasons I sold my business in 2007 and left. Tombstone is a great tourist destination but a lousy place to live.
"Wilson said there was a steady shooting back and forth as officers worked to bring the active shooting situation to a close.Police concentrated much of their focus during the shooting on an apartment complex on nearby Law Street, located behind the strip center.Fire officials reported on radio that the suspect was seen behind some trees as he opened fire on vehicles in the area.A KTRK crew saw firefighters and officers running up and down the street as the gunfire continued.From the air, reporter Don Armstrong reported seeing bodies on the ground as officers ran between cars and buildings in search for the suspect.
Thus, even though the policy has a disparate impact on Hispanics, the EEOC does not find reasonable cause to believe that discrimination occurred because the policy is job related and consistent with business necessity. 127 Example 8: Targeted Exclusion Without Individualized Assessment Is Not Job Related and Consistent with Business Necessity. "Shred 4 You" employs over 100 people to pick up discarded files and sensitive materials from offices, transport the materials to a secure facility, and shred and recycle them. The owner of "Shred 4 You" sells the company to a competitor, known as "We Shred." Employees of "Shred 4 You" must reapply for employment with "We Shred" and undergo a background check. "We Shred" has a targeted criminal conduct exclusion policy that prohibits the employment of anyone who has been convicted of any crime related to theft or fraud in the past five years, and the policy does not provide for any individualized consideration. The company explains that its clients entrust it with handling sensitive and confidential information and materials; therefore, it cannot risk employing people who pose an above-average risk of stealing information. Jamie, who is African American, worked successfully for "Shred 4 You" for five years before the company changed ownership. Jamie applies for his old job, and "We Shred" reviews Jamie's performance appraisals, which include high marks for his reliability, trustworthiness, and honesty. However, when "We Shred" does a background check, it finds that Jamie pled guilty to misdemeanor insurance fraud five years ago, because he exaggerated the costs of several home repairs after a winter storm. "We Shred" management informs Jamie that his guilty plea is evidence of criminal conduct and that his employment will be terminated. Jamie asks management to consider his reliable and honest performance in the same job at "Shred 4 You," but "We Shred" refuses to do so. The employer's conclusion that Jamie's guilty plea demonstrates that he poses an elevated risk of dishonesty is not factually based given Jamie's history of trustworthiness in the same job. After confirming disparate impact based on race (African American), the EEOC finds reasonable cause to believe that Title VII was violated because the targeted exclusion was not job related and consistent with business necessity based on these facts.
Humans can render changes in reality at roughly 13-15 frames per second (fps, or Hz), which means that human reality fully refreshes roughly once every 77 milliseconds (ms), and open-eye saturation of peripheral filling fully fades at around 10-20 seconds (Fig. 5). Human frame perception is exploited by animation and film, which updates at 24 fps, and television, which updates near 30 fps. Computer monitors and high-definition televisions refresh at 60 Hz or higher, and at this rate human perception of motion is entirely seamless.8 The rate of human frame perception corresponds roughly to the alert beta range of waking human consciousness (12-30 Hz) seen in EEG readings.9 Any event which happens faster than 1/60th of a second (16.6 ms) falls between perceptual frames and is considered to be subliminal or imperceptible to human consciousness.10 Seamless frame rendering is also called temporal aliasing, and can be subverted by a variety of common phenomena, including stroboscopic lights which break motions into jerky snapshots, and wagon-wheel illusions where rotating spokes appear to stop or spin backwards.11,12,13 In addition to retaining visual information, perceptual frames hold the totality of multi sensory rendering. Smooth frame aliasing preserves semantic state information from one moment to the next, and retains fidelity of information held in working memory. There is evidence that the brain can track multiple object layers for each frame;14 possibly corresponding to the number of distinct items we can sustain in working memory, which is about seven.15 Frame rendering is a distributed cortical task modulated by the aminergic system. High aminergic modulation of the frontal lobe is a good indicator of external frame alertness. Any drug which interrupts the precise timing of the aminergic modulatory system will also disrupt the seamless nature of temporal frame aliasing in the same way that a strobe light disrupts the motion of a spinning wheel. Temporal aliasing hallucinations include frame stacking, frame delay, frame freezing, frame reverse, frame echo, and infinite frame regression; all of which are considered to be uniquely psychedelic.16 The sensation of hallucinogenic frame stacking indicates that psychedelics may create a temporary frame decay buffer that allows for simultaneous multi-frame analysis and increased complexity of visual comprehension. Subverting or enhancing the limits of visual frame aliasing is an indication of expanded consciousness. Figure 6. The peripheral drift illusion (PDI) is easily seen when this image is in the visual periphery.
"And I think today there's a great recognition of that, by the US, the Europeans, all over the world. There is an acknowledgement that Pakistan today is determined to fight the militants." Shadow defence secretary Liam Fox told BBC One's Politics Show that Pakistan faced economic and political problems and its army did not "really have the capabilities for the sort of anti-terrorist counter-insurgency measures that we want". "The international community has to give Pakistan a lot of help if Pakistan is to fulfil the role we want it to do," he said. And Edward Davey, for the Liberal Democrats, said: "The real questions are, why hasn't this happened before and because it hasn't, why is it suddenly going to happen now? "This looks more like wishful thinking than a new well considered strategy"
the right to statehood; the rights of refugees to return to their homes; the rights of family to reside together and to visit one another; the right to travel freely; to receive medical treatment; to education; to a childhood free of violence; the right to worship; the right to live free of occupation and siege.Palestinians must be allowed to realize their most basic human rights-freedom and self-determination, the same concepts this country was founded on.The United States must change its long-standing policy of blind support for Israel.It must become an even-handed broker in this conflict, addressing Palestinian needs for justice, equality, and yes, security just as they do Israel’s. It must demand that Israel end its illegal occupation, running on 40 years, of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.And friends don’t let friends run an occupation.I end with a rough translation of a poem by the late Mahmoud Darwish, titled,"silence for Gaza"MAHMOUD DARWISH"Gaza has no throat.Its pores are the ones that speak in sweat, blood, and fires.Hence the enemy hates it to death and fears it to criminality, and tries to sink it into the sea... And hence its relatives and friends love it with a coyness that amounts to jealousy and fear at times, because Gaza is the brutal lesson …and the shining example for enemies and friends alike.Gaza is not the most beautiful city.Its shore is not bluer than the shores of Arab cities.Its oranges are not the most beautiful in the Mediterranean basin.Gaza is not the richest city.It is not the most elegant or the biggest, but it equals the history of an entire homeland, because it is more ugly, impoverished, miserable, and vicious in the eyes of enemies.Because it is the most capable, among us, of disturbing the enemy’s mood and his comfort. Because it is his nightmare. Because it is mined with oranges; children without a childhood; old men without old age; and women without desires. Because of all this it is the most beautiful, the purest and richest among us and the one most worthy of love."
If you just want to keep track of questions being answered, you can do this by clicking the GGG icon next to the thread that will lead you It's worded that way because that's what it does, and having the wording say something else would be problematic. If you mean why it works that way, then I'm afraid that's an example of the kind of question that's outside the scope of this thread. I can tell you how it does work (you need to crit something, so your totems critting something won't cut it, but once active, since totems use your skills, they benefit from it), but not why that decision was made.Probably not, although I don't have a full logical proof of this. Practically, definitely not - the amount of extra processing added to common stat calculations by that would be unreasonable, if it were possible.There is not one limit that applies to all skills, but there is generally a requirement that skill have a limit for technical reasons (as well as potential balance and or performance reasons) to the number of simultaneous hits that can occur.There is a technical limit to the visible DPS on a skill popup, due to that being stored in an integer variable. There is a technical limit on the amount of damage a given hit can deal (same dealio), but to my knowledge not a technical limit on the number of times you could hit a target in a second, so I do not believe there's a technical limit on actual DPS dealt to a specific enemy.There is definitely a mechanical limit to DPS, because there are limits on how high the values of stats you can obtain from passives/gear/etc. There is some theoretical "best DPS" build that could exist with perfect gear, that would have more DPS than any other actually possible build. This limit is significantly below where any technical limitation would occur on actual damage.In general, if a modifier can modify the base behaviour of an item (what a white item of that type would do) then it will be local. There are very few exceptions to this, but they do exist, so the answer to the question is no.Yes.No. Buffs can be identified by having a visible icon with a green border. Anything without that icon or with a different border is not a buff.This is true of all damage over time, and always has been.
Visbeck M Policy: map the interactions between Sustainable Development Goals. , 4 International Council for Science International Social Science Council Our analysis also represents a step towards producing a more cohesive understanding of the interactions between different SDG goals, targets, and indicators—a widely noted criticism.We show the potential for quantifying these interactions by comparing the relations between education, income, and fertility—components of the SDI—and the 33 health-related SDG indicators and accompanying health-related SDG, MDG, and non-MDG indices. Although we acknowledge the ecological nature of this analysis and its usual caveats, SDI was a strong predictor of the overall health-related SDG and MDG indices, highlighting the general importance of income, education, and fertility, as well as intersectoral action for health-related development. However, SDI was a weaker predictor of the non-MDG index, particularly for indicators such as violence (intimate partner, interpersonal, and collective violence) and ambient particulate matter pollution. This finding shows that a sole focus on increasing income and education and decreasing fertility is probably insufficient to meet the SDG targets. It also raises questions about whether other common drivers, analogous to income, education, and fertility, can be determined and their relations with SDG indicators assessed. Combining this initial assessment of the 33 health-related SDG indicators with an expanded quantification and analysis of other potential drivers is an important future area of work that could help to create a more concise, cohesive, and actionable monitoring framework for the SDGs. Future directions for GBD monitoring efforts In this report, we focused on measuring indicators proposed by the IAEG-SDGs. In future years, we plan to address three related sets of issues: first, improved assessment of the health-related SDG indicators measured at present; second, inclusion of the 14 currently excluded health-related indicators in the annualised GBD study; and third, potential expansion of indicators consistent with the framing of the targets. We address each of these issues in turn. Improving the measurement of currently included health-related indicators With the present analysis, we made several modifications that we believe improve several health-related indicators for the purposes of measuring progress towards each health-related SDG target. Future iterations are likely to incorporate further modifications to these and other indicators. First, as noted in the Methods section, rather than reporting on the combined prevalence of childhood wasting and overweight, we assessed and measured them separately.
He investigated two theories: that cutting taxes on the wealthy boosts the economy and that cutting taxes on the wealthy makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. (Income disparity, which fell in the decades after the New Deal, has been increasing since 1977. The richest one per cent of households now hold more than a third of the nation’s wealth, which was about where things stood in 1913.) After analyzing top tax rates and income disparity against a series of economic measures—rates of savings, investment, productivity, and G.D.P. growth—Hungerford concluded that “changes over the past 65 years in the top marginal tax rate and the top capital gains tax rate do not appear correlated with economic growth” but do “appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.” If Hungerford is right, Mellon was wrong. The Congressional Research Service, a division of the Library of Congress, produces more than seven hundred reports a year. After September’s report on taxes and the economy, Senate Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, prepared a list of complaints about Hungerford’s methods, conclusions, and language (finding, for instance, the phrase “tax cuts for the rich” to be objectionable). On September 28th, in a move that appears to be without precedent, the Congressional Research Service acted against the advice of its economics division and withdrew the report. The Congressional Research Service was established in 1914. It is a product of progressive reform. Like the Federal Reserve and the Sixteenth Amendment, its centennial is coming up soon. Calls for its abolition can’t be far behind.
i think this was a special case that required special attention and i gave it special attention. :: let me turn if i can to the wear and tear of the democratic party on this long, long race. and senator obama has actually talked in support of an idea that it would be a superdelegate primary to resolve this whole issue of which way the superdelegates will weigh in, in june, to reach a past decision before the party convention. are you in favor of this? is the clinton camp in favor of this? :: i don't know what the clinton camp position is on this. just like the clinton camp had absolutely nothing to do with what i said about governor richardson. i think what we need to do is let this process go through. i think it's very, very unfortunate that senator obama's lawyers topped people in michigan from voting. i think it's a sign of weakness. i think it's unfortunate for the party. i think it's unfortunate probably writing florida off in the general election. and in michigan, however that was a political decision that they made that they didn't want to face voters. i think we have an important contest in, pa, north carolina, kentucky, oregon, indiana, south dakota, puerto rico. a bunch of other places i think we should let democrats vote and be herd. after that, a conclusion can be reached. and one i'm fully prepared to support. :: quick final question to you, because you have said that the narrative will dictate what happens, whatever people are doing and adding up the numbers and saying it's impossible for senator clinton. you're the pro here. what do you predict for pennsylvia? let's hear it. :: well, you know, well, i would say, what i said earlier, a long time ago that senator clinton had to win pennsylvania. :: but how much? 50%, 60%? :: i'm not going to go into numbers. i said before, she had to win, ohio, texas and pennsylvania. i'm sticking with that. by the way, if the democrats in pennsylvania want to end this, they could end this by voting -- if senator obama wins that would pretty much end this process. we'll see, if they send a signal they want it to go on, then it will go on to north carolina. :: all right, james carville, great to you have here this morning.
Appellations or Denominations of Origin (DO's) have been studied recently in the world with the objective of highlighting their importance for sustainable development, for conservation of bio-diversity and for traditional knowledge. Unfortunately, these signs are tied to commerce and intellectual rights. They are tools for commerce and are shaped and adapted to the economic realities of the countries, trade agreements and their public policies and regional conflicts. The current Mexican DO stakeholders proposal to name "Komil" to agave spirits produced outside of the DO area delimited geo-politically is a piece that fits perfectly in the NOM 199 draft, and traditional mezcal (outside DO Mezcal) would have to be called Komiles if this law project (proyecto de Norma Obligatoria Mexicana NOM) is accepted. The diversity of traditional mezcal extensely widespread in Mexico territory, would have to change from mezcal to “komil” which is a term that have never been associated to mezcal. This is not the first time that DO's Mexican stakeholders propose policies against bio-diversity owners of micro regional products. There is something wrong with marketing strategies in DO’s industries, they are pushing desperate measures in order to avoid competition. Something similar has been done some time ago (also during christmas time) with the proposal to make Agave a trademark just for DO’s stakeholders in Mexico. Agave is a genus, is a latin name! The worst is that it is even latent. The national and international lovers of Mexico bio-diversity linked to mezcal were united and their activism in favor of this tradition was loud. If we accept that the aim of the Mexican DO is used as a tool for trade, we agree on not caring about preserving traditions and biodiversity, there are no rules or obligations for sustainability in business. The most important example is the climate change and the bad results of our generation. The problem we are witnessing now is how the obligatory laws (NOM) are changed in order to make competition disapear. The actors of the DO's have many resources to create competitive advantages without falling into these proposals. Moreover, it is clear that if there are interests in conserving cultural heritage of bio mezcales that are held by groups of micro-producers, we have to insure that the name will survive.
Kartridge – No consensus to overturn the speedy deletion. Controversial speedy deletions are often referred to AfD, but in this case, nobody but the nominator objects to the deletion, which makes the deletion insufficiently controversial, in my view, to merit an AfD listing. Sandstein 13:32, 25 February 2019 (UTC) The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it. Kartridge (talk \| \| \| \| links \| ) (restore) Erroneously deleted as CSD A7 despite third party reliable sources. Undeletion refused by deleting admin User:Bbb23 following a request at User_talk:Bbb23/Archive_47#Undelete_Kartridge - hahnch e n 11:53, 17 February 2019 (UTC) Endorse. Maybe this was a marginal WP:A7, but I can't see any hope of this being kept at AfD. New website, launched all of three months ago. References are two links to the company's own blog, and three press release reprints. That doesn't come close to meeting WP:NCORP. Beyond that, WP:A7 applies, if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible, and a good argument could be made that these (non) sources fit that. Looking closer, half the text of the article is copy-pasted from a press release, so if WP:A7 doesn't fit, then WP:G12 certainly does. One thing that's curious about the history is that this was created (as a redirect) six months before the site even launched. I assume there was some early notice in the industry press which prompted that. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:13, 17 February 2019 (UTC) This is the text from A7 - "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." If you want to argue against the credibility of those sources, you should do so at AFD, CSD offers no forum for argument. CSD is not a place for unilateral deletions based on notability, which is an explicitly defined CSD non-criteria). In this case, the admin deleted it under A7, and then refused to delete it for notability reasons. This is a double standard. - hahnch e n 21:36, 17 February 2019 (UTC) Comment - The creator of this article, User:GregLoire was never notified. I received a notification, despite being inactive, because I think I created the original redirect months ago.

(B) Semiquantification (mean values ± SEM) of COX deficiency on a scale of 0–4 (0, no blue staining; 4, only blue staining; recorded blindly) shows that mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction begins at 9–12 wk in mtDNA mutator mice and becomes widespread in cerebral cortex [H(4) = 11.7; P = 0.008], hippocampus [H(4) = 11.8; P = 0.008], nucleus accumbens [H(4) = 9.59; P = 0.022], striatum [H(4) = 10.4; P = 0.016], and thalamus [H(4) = 9.87; P = 0.019] as these mice age. In wild-type mice, there was increased COX deficiency in similar brain regions, indicating respiratory chain dysfunction in normal aging: cerebral cortex [H(5) = 21.7; P = 0.0002], hippocampus [H(5) = 18.4; P = 0.001], nucleus accumbens [H(5) = 21.4; P = 0.0003], striatum [H(5) = 18.3; P = 0.001], and thalamus [H(5) = 17.1; P = 0.019].

Economist's View: Does Michael Barone Believe the Poor Lack the Genetic Intelligence and Drive Needed to Compete in the Emerging U.S. Meritocracy? : Am I reading this column by Michael Barone correctly? Does it blame being poor on lack of intelligence? Do you believe, as he does, that if you are poor it is most likely because your parents were unintelligent?... Read it yourself.... Michael Barone: [P]olls show that Americans think their chances of moving up are better than a generation ago. Statistics tell a different story: There is a higher correlation today between parents' and children's income than in the 1980s, and the income gap between college graduates and non-graduated doubled between 1979 and 1997. "America," concludes Parker, "is becoming a stratified society based on education: a meritocracy."... [This] is exactly what Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray predicted for America in their controversial book The Bell Curve, published 11 years ago. Herrnstein and Murray noted that intelligence is both measurable and in some large but unquantifiable part hereditary, an unexceptionable finding for experimental psychologists but maddening to social engineers. As college education becomes open to all with the requisite intelligence, graduates will tend to marry graduates and produce children with similar intelligence, while others will tend to produce children without it. "Unchecked, these trends," Herrnstein and Murray wrote, "will lead the U.S. toward something resembling a caste society, with the underclass mired ever more firmly at the bottom and the cognitive elite ever more firmly anchored at the top."... Are we there yet?... [M]aybe so. Yet should we be so gloomy?... Not everyone has an emotional need to be on top: How many people, if they thought seriously about it, would really want the burdens of a CEO, however lavish the pay?... As Murray has written, all you need to do to avoid poverty in this country is to graduate from high school, get and stay married, and take any job. The intelligence needed to get a place in the cognitive elite may become more concentrated in a fair meritocratic society, but the personal behaviors needed to find a valued place in society are available to everyone. Meritocracy may mean less mobility, but that is bearable if, as Brooks says, "America is becoming more virtuous. "...
Still, the S only lasted marginally longer with regular use, which included checking email, web browsing, Twitter, Facebook, downloading apps, some light photo / video recording and other miscellany. When we left both phones on standby, only occasionally checking email, taking a photo or placing a call, the One X actually outlasted the S.This simply confirmed to us what we already knew: the continually backlit LCD display and larger screen size are going to be a significant drain on the battery, especially compared to the AMOLED display on the S. But another aspect that didn't get a lot of love in this department was graphics performance. In fact, after pushing the Tegra 3's GPU through the full gamut of GLBenchmark tests for 20 minutes, the X's battery slipped 17 percent. And how did the S do when faced with the same task? It only experienced a nine percent drop.Naturally this is going to be a concern to hardcore gamers, but casual smartphone users won't feel the heat quite as much.

The One S wins a slight advantage in overall battery life, but the chasm between the two sets of scores isn't as wide as you might think.HTC has been putting a lot of marketing muscle behind its ImageSense technology, and we put its performance through its paces in our review of the One X. Its quick start-up time, machine gun-like continuous shooting and ability to record stills and video simultaneously help make the experience a delightful one. But how different are the cameras on these two phones?The One S is technically a lower-end device than the X, so it must have a cheaper camera, right? Well, not when it comes to the main, rear-facing camera or its video capture capabilities. Let's break it down: both phones use the same 8-megapixel sensor in back and offer all of the essential components to make ImageSense work as well as it does. Video capture is set at 1080p in both cases. The only difference is the front-facing camera.
The player is thrust into the background frequently in Rayman Legends, with the camera zooming past the colourful scenery in the process. Within the first few hours we see dragons fly past in the sky, mist and smoke effects floating through the air, and buildings collapsing in an explosion of fire and rubble. The sprite-based elements and 3D models are integrated so well that at times it's hard to tell them apart, beyond the more obvious elements that freely move between planes, such as the boss characters or some of the traps that rotate and swing throughout sections of the game.

They're different games. I'd like to say I think your basic point, which is that "armies in sc2 destroy each other too quickly and easily", is correct, but again I think that psi storm in BW was devestatingly strong, like amazingly strong, with a massive AoE and huge burst damage, the likes of which perhaps you have never experienced. The Sc2 psistorm is but a pale shadow of the BW psistorm.Anyone who's played BW extensively HAS seen fights turn very quickly when certain units were brought into play, such as vessels, tanks, storms, reavers, lurkers, etc. The reason armies destroyed each other more slowly in BW wasn't that there was somehow less dps or spells and units were slower at dealing damage-- in fact, most units, such as the tank, reaver, storm, etc, dealt massive, massive burst damage to many units.No, the reason armies destroyed each other more slowly in BW has to do with the way they are controlled, the lack of smartcast, the pathing, and the low unit selection delimiter. You want to know why Jangbi's storms are legendary? Because properly used, storms rip though everything, and BW is a damn hard game to play. Go play BW against your friend, and try doing ANYTHING the pros do.The reason Sc2 seems boring and flat to some has to do with the fundamental mechanics of the game. Does the colossus or marine have too much dps? sure, maybe. But that's definitely not the problem. The problem of overpowered units haunts BW as well. That just makes things hilarious. The problem is that Sc2 is a game where you can control 255 units at once, and you can command your army to attack as easily as your opponent can defend.I used to accuse my cousin, a protoss player, of 1a2a3aing me. You know why? Because even with 70 food of army, 1a2a3a is the FASTEST he can get his whole army to move. Even 1aing was harder in that game.BW is a monumental struggle to have enough apm to get everything done. Every race has ridiculous overpowered units and spells of all varieties, and it's all impossible to use.I may not be explaining things well, and who knows, maybe I'm wrong, I was a shitty BW player and still am. But the idea that making all the units kill each other slower will get rid of deathballing is preposterous.

I think that we should resist efforts to insert a new provision covering, for example, rape, incest and fatal foetal abnormality while leaving women in other situations to ‘travel’. By exceptionalising abortion – by taking the position that it is generally to be permitted only in the most grueling of circumstances – we run the risk of creating new, if presently unforeseeable, categories of devastating hard interpretation cases further down the line. Any change to the text would need to be accompanied by clear-sighted discussion of what the Constitution might be read to ‘say’ about life, bodily integrity, autonomy, privacy, inhuman and degrading treatment and so on in the Eighth’s absence. Because there has been so little strategic domestic litigation of the Amendment, at least by pro-choice agents – we are very much in the dark here. It may be that, as has been suggested, a Constitutional Convention is an appropriate forum in which to discuss issues of this kind, provided it does not become a delaying tactic. Finally, whatever the text of the Constitution becomes, we must unpack and reform the legislation passed to enforce it – including the Abortion Information Act and the Protection of Life in Pregnancy Act. We must unpack and rethink the multiple intersecting lines of policy – medical, immigration, child protection, mental health and so on – which shape women’s access to abortion. We must research, understand, unpack and challenge the forms of ‘clinical best practice’, habitual power or well-intentioned but thoughtless routine which would subject women to degradation and distress of the kinds reported in this case and that of Savita Halappanavar. We must determine, for ourselves, the rights standards which will animate the interpretation and application of any new legislation. In truth, nothing short of a wholesale orientation of the Irish state approach to the care and support of pregnant women will bring us to an acceptable legal position. No blue pencil can do that work, and none of it can be rushed. Repealing the Eighth, for me, is the first of several slow steps.
SEATTLE -- All the talk of El Nino for this fall and winter may have dampened the spirits of skiers and snowboarders, but November is certainly making emphatic statements along the lines of: "El Nino, Schmel Nino".A midweek storm is promising to bring several inches of snow to the Cascades, including Stevens Pass and perhaps even some decent snowfall to Snoqualmie Pass.A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon. Snow will begin above 4,000 feet on Tuesday as a cold front approaches, bringing snow to Stevens Pass, Mt. Baker, White Pass and Chinook Pass.Once the front passes Tuesday night, snow levels will drop down to about 2,500-3,000 feet by Wednesday afternoon, likely bringing accumulating snow to Snoqualmie Pass as well. A Puget Sound Convergence Zone on Wednesday could enhance snowfall along Stevens Pass, and maybe Snoqualmie Pass too if it sinks far enough south.Thus, storm totals are expected to be about 12-18 inches from Tuesday through Wednesday in the higher passes at or above 4,000 feet (including Stevens Pass) with lesser totals at Snoqualmie Pass, but still enough to qualify as the first snow of the season up there.In the lowlands, nothing too out-of-the-ordinary for the storm - just a period of steady light to moderate rains, mainly Tuesday night into Wednesday morning before tapering to showers.Showers will taper off Wednesday afternoon both in the lowlands and the mountains.We're also keeping our eye on a second storm pegged to arrive later Thursday into Friday. Earlier forecast models had significant rainfall forecast for both the lowlands and the low areas of the mountains, but more recent forecasts have backed off a little.Still, the storm bears watching as there is some potential either for a heavy rain/flooding event or possibly another heavy mountain snow event, depending on how the storm behaves. Wind may also be a factor, but as of Monday morning, it's looking less of a threat.
The powers that be know it's just a matter of time before the truth reaches enough Americans about the voluntary income tax system. Already trial balloons are being floated to once again fool the people into some form of alternative tax in order to feed the central bank. America functioned very well without an income tax throughout the history of this Republic. The answer to the question of funding without a direct tax is found is Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution since 1787. It provides for Congress to pass a legislative bill for tax money to be paid by each state in proportion to its population. Proper, constitutional funding will allow large amounts of money to fund a limited form of Republican government. To continue on the path of this massive and unconstitutional spending will bring a final and total collapse of the economy. Make no mistake about it. Has your government been truthful? Do you know why the "withholding tax" system was put into place? Let me provide you with just one shocking example of how things work behind the scenes:
June 19, 2012 Carbon capture and storage likely to cause earthquakes, say Stanford researchers Stanford geophysicists say earthquakes triggered by underground CO 2 storage, while probably too small to cause major damage, could release stored CO 2 into the atmosphere. By Max McClure Norway's Utsira formation, under the Sleipner Gas Field, was host to the world's first commercial carbon storage project. One million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide have been injected into the undersea reservoir every year since 1996. (Photo: Oyvind Hagen / Statoil) Carbon capture and storage, or CCS, is a major component of the world's greenhouse gas reduction strategy. Involving injecting and storing carbon dioxide in underground geologic reservoirs, the method is used at several oil and gas exploration sites worldwide to prevent the gases from entering the atmosphere. But to significantly reduce emissions, CCS would need to operate on a massive scale, potentially sequestering upwards of 3.5 billion metric tons of CO 2 each year. A new technical hurdle may mean CCS won't be able to get anywhere near that volume. In a paper appearing in the journal PNAS, Stanford geophysics Professor Mark Zoback and environmental Earth science Professor Steven Gorelick argue that, in many areas, carbon sequestration is likely to create pressure build-up large enough to break the reservoirs' seals, releasing the stored CO 2 . "Almost all of our current climate mitigation models assume CCS is going to be one of the primary tools we use," said Zoback. "What we're saying is, not so fast." Induced seismicity Intraplate earthquakes – earthquakes that occur far from the boundaries between tectonic plates – can occur nearly anywhere in continental interiors, due to what the researchers describe as "the critically stressed nature of the Earth's crust." Small pressure build-ups near potential faults reduce friction, increasing the likelihood of a fault slip. It's been known for a half-century that human activities can increase pressure to the point of inducing small temblors. In the 1960s, the injection of wastewater into a well near Denver triggered a series of small earthquakes. Last year, similar quakes were induced in Arkansas, Ohio and on the border of Colorado and New Mexico. Reviewing field stress measurements and laboratory studies of shear displacements, Zoback and Gorelick say injection of massive quantities of CO 2 would be likely to produce the same result. Zoback has previously described wastewater-induced quakes as manageable, low-risk events.

In contrast, LSD is thought to produce its psychotropic hallucinogenic effects through a direct interaction with the 5-HT 2A receptor (ie, as a direct serotonergic agonist), resulting in pharmacodynamic effects to which no acute tolerance was observed in our study.
In spite of these tricks, when the cats were released to look for the toy, they found it by using an absolute sense of position (a course and bearing from its own position) rather than a relative one. They did not look for it behind what was now the rightmost screen, instead they looked behind the screen that now occupied the precise spot in space that the rightmost screen had previously occupied when the toy was hidden. A cat's sense of space is "egocentric" - they remembered where the toy was placed relative to their own fixed position in space, and not by the toy's position relative to a landmark. When the experiment was set up to make egocentric spatial reasoning impossible, the cats were forced to orient themselves using landmarks. From a central doorway, the cats observed the toy being hidden. However, they could only enter the room by taking a detour through an L-shaped tunnel, entering the room through a door to either the left or the right of the one they had watched from. Unable to use an absolute sense of position. These cats successfully located the toy using landmarks. If the egocentric cues and the landmark cues conflicted, the cats trusted to their own cat-centred co-ordinates. Cats form a mental map of their environment, but instead of mapping landmarks ("the church is 300 ft to the left of the shop, the shop is a mile north of the farm") a cat's mental map has the cat in the middle and everything else is relative to the cat's position. This explains why cats do some apparently stupid things, such as failing to cotton on to a moved litter tray even if they watched you move the litter tray a moment ago, and why they are such creatures of habit. It takes time to adjust the egocentric co-ordinate system, hence moving the litter tray should be done by shifting it a foot or so each day and moving the feeding station should be done by establishing two feeding stations and only removing the old one when the cat has got a co-ordinates fix on the new one. It's not that cat's are stupid, it's just that their internal maps is different from ours.

It must be remarked that, in many cases, the offspring, whether of first, second, or third descent, die while in infancy, the race becoming thus extinct. The negro Hadji Abdullah offers a most curious illustration of this phenomenon. This old fellow was an athlete in strength and size; but of the twenty and so many children which he had from his various wives, not one outlived the period of infancy. The sterility of the Negro race in Turkey is due to the following causes : 1.) The climate. 2.) The condition to which they are reduced, and mode of life; these are enervating, demoralising, and proper to destroy the germs of reproduction. 3rd.) That when negroes are in a position to marry, they are generally old and exhausted. If we put aside the testimony of statistic computations, evidence of the complete destruction of the negro stock which has been imported into Turkey during the last four hundred years, is not wanting. Admitting that during that period every generation of believers has had for its own use 100,000 negro slaves, nearly a million and a half of Africans has been pouring like an ever flowing stream into the midst of the Mussulman population. Where are now-a-days to be found the traces of this alien race? Do the negroes form any separate settlement or population, as those in the southern states of America ? Or have they been amalgamated and absorbed? No, they have been consumed and devoured, and such would inevitably be the fate of many other millions besides these. Voluptuousness and egotism are monsters ever eager after victims. On comparing the lot which awaits the negro slaves in the east with the relatively happier condition of their kinsmen in America, one is astonished in seeing that slavery has produced so totally different results. Two different passions have been the cause of the adoption of slavery; the idleness and profligacy of the Mussulman in the one case, and the money-making mania of the Anglo-American in the other. But this difference which exists in the causes of the adoption of slavery, has also brought about different results; and while the Turkish negro turned into a tool proper to support the luxurious life of his master is doomed to perish, the American negro being made an agent of cultivation and industry, prospers, and his progeny multiplies.
I don't see how you scrubs manage to every die on this form. I'll tell you the secret right now.Don't move. EVERJust stand infront of him and trade blows. If he summons a melee minion ignore it, he will just die to aoe. If he summons a fire spitter just kill with a ranged attack (hint hint spectral throw). If shit goes bad chug potions, if you run out of potions use a town portal.Anyway I managed to kill dominus's last form before he even summoned a firespitter. I never moved.Now I'm in cruel with about 4 chaos worth of orbs to spend (2 pure chaos, 1 regret, 2 fuse).Maybe I'll buy some support gems early so I can get them experience but theres alsoend-game shopping to consider.Got to budget carfully.My elemental resist are still good even in cruel (65% is my lowest)Here is my current equipment and gear.I dont actually use purity and zombies they are just in my off-weapon gaining xp incase I need them later.http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMAVyvfsIIQB6UC40myLJzBtOTsdhF-rx8CNsXYJKcIFVCPRtDQz2VVxhZvHRT60jbp42okqhmFcH2AVk99uJPr7nqqmuBFnVWuRKuPpi0fjRngEt2M

Human beings must constantly strive to overcome these divisions and work together in support of our shared human rights and human values. States should move towards democracy and secularism to ensure that all individuals of whatever cultural or religious affiliation are given equal treatment in society and support dialogue between people of different beliefs to reduce tensions and increase mutual understanding. Lasting peace must be dynamic not static. We must embrace the noisy peace of the thriving city and not seek to escape to the silent peace of the graveyard. Peace is an active and continuous process, a way of solving problems justly and without violence.
Pakistan’s military and civilian leaders have yet to come to any consensus on a political strategy to contend with these militants who have claimed tens of thousands of Pakistani lives since 2001. The military, for its part, is reluctant to take them on for several reasons. First, parts of the military still see Islamist militants as important tools of foreign policy in India and Afghanistan. In fact, for some, the loyal Islamist militants will become even more important as the United States withdraws from Afghanistan and as Pakistan needs militants that are loyal to the Pakistani project. Second, because these Deobandi militant groups share overlapping membership with each other and with the JUI, the JUI provide their militant allies with political cover. Third, the military is unwilling to eliminate them in entirety because it believes that some of them can be rehabilitated and persuaded to aim their guns, suicide vests, and vehicle-born IEDS away from the Pakistani state and towards Afghanistan or India. (Yes. This does mean the Pakistan army—which has received some $27 billion from Washington for being a “partner in the Global War on Terrorism”—is encouraging its militants to kill Americans and their allies in Afghanistan.) Fourth, the army’s will is no doubt conditioned by its ability. While the army could certainly do more, its record at combating Pakistan’s domestic enemies is mixed at best and has come at a high human cost in terms of civilian casualties and massive internal displacement. This is why Pakistan’s security and intelligence agencies rely upon the U.S. drone program to take out the terrorists it cannot. Finally, for national counter-terrorism efforts, Pakistan’s police should take the lead. But it is well-known that Pakistan’s police are not up to that task.
(As Whit Ayres, Marco Rubio’s former pollster, told me at the Pollies, “If Donald Trump becomes president of the United States, then you can tell me we don’t need political consultants anymore.”) The Republican convention in July was a slipshod affair that underscored just how bare-bones his campaign remains, with a tiny staff, no field operation, little advertising presence—lacking even the ability to make sure a major speech wasn’t plagiarized.
Vigorous to maximal aerobic interval training (INT) has received remarkable interest in improving cardiometabolic outcomes for type 2 diabetes patients recently, yet with inconsistent findings. This meta-analysis was aimed to quantify its effectiveness in type 2 diabetes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searches of 3 databases to October 2017, which evaluated the effects of INT with a minimal training duration of 8 weeks vs. moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or non-exercise training (NET) among type 2 diabetes patients on outcomes including cardiorespiratory fitness, glycemic control, body composition, blood pressure, and lipid profiles. Weighted mean differences with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with the random-effects model. Nine datasets from 7 RCTs with 189 patients were included. Compared with MICT, INT improved maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) by 2.60 ml/kg/min (95% CI: 1.32 to 3.88 ml/kg/min, P <0.001) and decreased hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by 0.26% (95% CI: −0.46% to −0.07%, P = 0.008). These outcomes for INT were also significant vs. energy expenditure-matched MICT, with VO 2max increased by 2.18 ml/kg/min ( P = 0.04) and HbA1c decreased by 0.28% ( P = 0.01). Yet their magnitudes of changes were larger compared with NET, with VO 2max increased by 6.38 ml/kg/min ( P <0.001) and HbA1c reduced by 0.83% ( P = 0.004). Systolic blood pressure could be lowered by INT compared with energy expenditure-matched MICT or NET (both P <0.05), but other cardiometabolic markers and body composition were not significantly altered in general. In conclusion, despite a limited number of studies, INT improves cardiometabolic health especially for VO 2max and HbA1c among patients with type 2 diabetes, and might be considered an alternative to MICT. Yet the optimal training protocols still require to be established.
There are indications that Globočnik may have been the originator of the extermination camp industrialised murder concept and the one who suggested it to Himmler. At a two-hour meeting with Himmler on 13 October 1941, Globočnik received verbal approval to start construction work on the Belzec extermination camp, the first such camp in the General Government. [27][28][29] Shortly beforehand, in September 1941, Globočnik had been visited by Phillip Bouhler and Victor Brack, the top officials in the Fuhrer Chancellery responsible for the Action T4 "euthanasia" program, which had been using gas chambers disguised as shower rooms to execute many of its victims. [30][31] On or about 1 October 1941, Globočnik had written a memorandum to Himmler containing proposals for actions against the Jews "of a security policy nature," and the 13 October meeting was held to discuss this memorandum and related subjects. [32][33] A colleague's contemporaneous letter reflects Globočnik's state of mind at the time of the 13 October meeting: Globočnik then considered it necessary to undertake a "cleansing of the entire [General Government] of Jews and Poles" and was "full of good and far-reaching plans" to accomplish this. [29][34] There are even indications that Globočnik may have begun a crude experimental gassing facility in the woods near Belzec shortly before his mid-October meeting with Himmler. [35] Globočnik at the 13 October 1941 meeting proposed exterminating the Jews in assembly-line fashion in a concentration camp utilising gas chambers. [33][36] On 14 October 1941 – the day after he had met with Globočnik – Himmler held a five-hour meeting with Reinhard Heydrich to discuss "executions", following which there was a proliferation of other extermination camp gassing sites. [37] Days later, Himmler forbade all further Jewish emigration from Reich territory "in view of the forthcoming 'Final Solution' to the Jewish question." [38]
The 1-year median MCLR has declined by a cumulative 70 bps since November 2016 even when the policy repo rate was not changed. This is significant, considering that the 1-year median MCLR declined by only 15 bps during the preceding seven months (April-October 2016) when the policy repo rate was reduced by 50 bps. The WALR on outstanding rupee loans declined by 8 bps during November 2016-January 2017 as against the decline of 11 bps during the preceding seven months (April - October 2016).

On 1 January 1911, a decade after federation, the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia, alfred Deakin opined at this time To me the question has been not so much commercial as national, first, second, third and last. Either we must accomplish the peopling of the territory or submit to its transfer to some other nation. In late 1912 there was growing sentiment that the name Northern Territory was unsatisfactory, the names Kingsland, Centralia and Territoria were proposed with Kingsland becoming the preferred choice in 1913
The church leaders, in fact, persecute dissidents. If you do not agree with the ordination of women, you will not get ordained. The ceiling is incredibly low." When Antje Jackelén won the election and became Sweden's first female Archbishop, it was time for the next shock. As her motto, she chose "God is Greater" -- "Allahu Akbar" in Arabic. Jackelén referred to 1 John 3:19-21, which says: "This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything." However, few believe the choice of motto is anything other than an open flirt with the Muslims of Sweden. In Islam, "Allahu Akbar" are the first words heard in every call to prayer, from every minaret around the world, and it is the cry we hear time and again in connection with Islamist suicide bombings, decapitations of non-Muslims, and terrorist attacks. The King, Queen and Crown Princess of Sweden attend the archiepiscopal ordination of Bishop Antje Jackelén at Uppsala Cathedral, June 15, 2014. (Image source: Church of Sweden) Archbishop Jackelén's choice of a motto was not an exception; merely the most visible sign that the Church of Sweden may be headed towards "Chrislam" -- a merging of Christianity and Islam. Swedish priests, noting the religious fervor among the Muslims now living in Sweden, enthusiastically take part in various interreligious projects. Last year, Stockholm's Bishop, Eva Brunne, suggested removing the cross from the Seamen's Church, enabling Muslims to pray there. Gatestone Institute called her closest associate, Diocesan Priest Bo Larsson, to ask about this proposal. Gatestone: Can the Christians in Muslim countries expect the same service in mosques? Bo Larsson: "No, I don't think so. To Muslims, the buildings have such a holy dignity." Gatestone: But not to Swedes? Bo Larsson: "Apparently not. But there are already many mosques in Sweden." Gatestone: So why the need to pray in the Seamen's Church? Bo Larsson: "You know, it was just a suggestion. Many people on social media got it into their heads that this means Brunne is no longer a Christian, but that is not true of course." Gatestone: So we Christians should show Muslims respect, even though they do not respect us? Bo Larsson: "I think so. That is my opinion. I have been a priest for 40 years.
The mane six group is now complete! Rainbow Dash is very keen on cool-looking pokemon. She loves especially flying types and dramatic move sets. In fact, she decided to name all of her pokes after pokemon moves and abilities - that is, all except one, who was named after its high defense stat.Tank is Rainbow's most recent companion. She'd normally never get a poke that evolves to be a ground type, especially since it's slow and bulky, the opposite of what she likes. But one day, after all of her pokemon had fainted and she was hurt and tired herself, she got attacked by wild pokemon on a cave and got stuck under a rock. Tank appeared and used rock smash, releasing Rainbow, and she got so grateful she took it along. It changed a lot of her views on what's really important.Aerial Ace was her first pokemon. She got it as a Taillow, and its amazing speed was what inspired Rainbow to become a flying type trainer. She loves flying around on its back and does it all the time.Weather Ball's relation with the weather really got Rainbow interested. Controlling the weather is actually one of her biggest desires, and she just loves to make it change. Its moves include rainy day, sunny day and hail.Cloud Nine and Rainbow really connected the first time they met. She had always loved blue skies and clouds, after all. Its strange ability makes it able to carry Rainbow thought the air even if it's raining or snowing, so she never has to stop.Trick Room met rainbow on a set of strange ruins. She, after reading a book about a tomb explorer, got so excited she decided to scavenge some ruins herself. After falling into traps and overcoming a lot of strange rooms with hidden switches, finding a flying type which looked like a artifact was the cherry on the cake.Brave Bird has all it could wish for on a pokemon: it's cool, it's fast, it's strong. The tip of its tail also reminds her of her own hair.That's it! Rainbow's image poke ended up being Altaria.I had a big doubt about her hair, since characters in the pokemon world, however crazy hair colors they may have, are never multi colored, at least not that much. But unicolor wouldn't look like Rainbow Dash... so I compromised and went with less colors and dark blue as the base. :\That's it for now!
19) It is however manifest that the Spectacle can no longer content itself, before the massacres, crimes and catastrophes that besiege it, before this inexplicable mass that accumulates, with noting the extension of a gap in its vision of the world. Besides, it expresses without evasion: “one would like that this violence be the fruit of misery, of great poverty. It would be more easy to admit to” (Evenement du Jeudi, September 10 1998). As one can observe with a disarming regularity, its first movement is to advance an explanation at all costs, as it must ruin all that upon which it could repose in theory. Thus, when the pathetic Clinton is summoned to give reasons for and to draw the consequences of the Beautiful Gesture of Kipland Kinkel, exemplary Bloom by all accounts, he found nothing responsible save “the influence of the new culture of films and violent videogames”. In so doing, he made note of the transparence, of the insubstantiality, and of the radical liquidation of the subject by commodity domination and publicly recognized that the tragic robinsonnade upon which this pretends to found itself, the juridical irreducibility of the individual, is no longer tenable. He ingenuously saps even the principal of commodity society, without which law, private property, the sale of labor power, and until now what has been called “culture”, read all the more like literary fantasy. It would still prefer to sacrifice the whole edifice of its pseudo-justification rather than to penetrate the reasons and nature of its enemy. Because otherwise one must grant to Marx that “the coincidence of the transformation of surroundings and of human activity or of the transformation of man by himself can only be seized and rationally comprehended as revolutionary praxis”. Then, for a second time, we return to this confession that it tries at present to efface; it is the painful moment where it exhausts itself in ridiculous epilogues upon the inexistent psychology of the Bloom that has turned to action. In spite of these interminable considerations, it does not arrive at defending itself from the sentiment in the trial, which is, at bottom, that it itself is judged, and that society takes the place of the accused. It is too evident that the origin of its gesture is nothing subjective, that it is simply a part, in its saintliness, of the objectivity of domination.
1 R-independent modulation of GABA A Rs by cannabinoids on local neuronal microcircuit activity was assessed in unidirectionally connected FS–PYR pairs in rats in the presence of SR (5 μM). Pyramidal neuron firing was evoked by constant current injection, while the connected FS interneuron was rhythmically stimulated at 20 Hz ( Supplementary Data Supplementary Data Figure 5.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is the federal law that governs consumer product warranties. Passed by Congress in 1975, the Act requires manufacturers and sellers of consumer products to provide consumers with detailed information about warranty coverage. In addition, it affects both the rights of consumers and the obligations of warrantors under written warranties. To understand the Act, it is useful to be aware of Congress' intentions in passing it. First, Congress wanted to ensure that consumers could get complete information about warranty terms and conditions. By providing consumers with a way of learning what warranty coverage is offered on a product before they buy, the Act gives consumers a way to know what to expect if something goes wrong, and thus helps to increase customer satisfaction. Second, Congress wanted to ensure that consumers could compare warranty coverage before buying. By comparing, consumers can choose a product with the best combination of price, features, and warranty coverage to meet their individual needs. Third, Congress intended to promote competition on the basis of warranty coverage. By assuring that consumers can get warranty information, the Act encourages sales promotion on the basis of warranty coverage and competition among companies to meet consumer preferences through various levels of warranty coverage. Finally, Congress wanted to strengthen existing incentives for companies to perform their warranty obligations in a timely and thorough manner and to resolve any disputes with a minimum of delay and expense to consumers. Thus, the Act makes it easier for consumers to pursue a remedy for breach of warranty in the courts, but it also creates a framework for companies to set up procedures for resolving disputes inexpensively and informally, without litigation.
There are five stages in scientific work: observation, experiment, recordal, reflection, generalisation. Through all these five stages Darwin and Marx, as scientific men, went. Darwin, as we have seen, observed and experimented upon plants and animals for twenty-eight years before he announced his great discovery. He recorded the results of these observations and experiments. In his study at Down, besides the printed books, the microscopes, the pots and pans in which his experiments were going on, there were countless note-books containing the record of what he had observed, read of, and seen as the result of experiment. Upon this record he reflected, and as the result of his reflection made a generalisation, or rather a series of generalisations. This last and highest stage in scientific work is only reached by the highest. Many others can observe, experiment, record, and reflect. But only the rarer souls can generalise ; that is, can draw out of the multitude of observed and recorded phenomena some one connecting, unifying principle, some golden thread linking together all the multitude of details and producing order out of chaos. These generalisations, these verbal expressions of some general principle running through a mass of individual facts, are often badly called “laws of nature.” The misfortune of the name is that ordinary people think that there is something in common between a law of nature and a law of government or of society. Perhaps the only thing they have in common is the misleading name “law.” A law of nature is a generalisation, i.e., the verbal expression of certain observed sequences or coincidences in natural phenomena. A law of society or of government is a decree promulgated by the society or the government to direct the conduct of human beings. Hence, only very loose thinking could give rise to the fallacy that a law of nature implies a law-giver. To avoid the possibility of that loose thinking it would be better to drop altogether the phrase “law of nature” and to use only the word “generalisation.”

Barnett (1995, Table 1) provides a summary table with the main outcome of the existing studies. Most of them display sizeable IQ gains but the follow-up didn’t seem to extend very far. The Early Training Project, which enrolled 4 and 5-year-old blacks, extends to age 17, follow-up N=36 for E group and follow-up N=16 for C group, but the IQ difference was 2.3. However, the initial IQs and their trajectories suggest non lasting gains (Spitz, 1986, pp. 95-97). From, Besharov et al. (2011) we see that the experimentals already outscored the controls by 3 points during the pretest, 89 vs 86 at age ~4, and these groups end up with scores of 88 vs 85 at age 10, and 79 vs 76 at age 17. They also report some suspicious numbers. The high school graduation rates among females, at age 21, were 85% and 50% for the E and C groups. But among males, the rates were virtually identical. This calls into question the effectiveness of the program. Next is the Perry Preschool Program (PPP) which targeted 123 africans born in poverty and having high risk of failing in school, with IQs between 70 and 85. The PPP had a follow-up IQ for children aged 14, both E group (initial and follow-up N=58) and C group (initial and follow-up N=65) scored 81 points. The PPP shares with all other programs the same features, i.e., large quick gains following by a dramatic fall (Spitz, 1986, pp. 101-108). Besharov (2011), interestingly, explains that the staff project attempted to introduce Piagetian principles into the curriculum and was among the “model” programs, those being the most longitudinally intensive and funded. The total absence of IQ gain in the PPP can be contrasted with the (almost) cumulative achievement score gains of the E group versus C group, as shown in Ferguson (1998, p. 321) from age 7 to age 19. Some made the claim that this curious pattern can be due to attrition effect if the subjects dropped the survey study non randomly, but the longitudinal loss (or attrition) of the subjects was extremely low in fact.
Official rules Edit Players take turns in order, with the initial player determined by chance before the game. A typical turn begins with the rolling of the dice and advancing a piece clockwise around the board the corresponding number of squares. If a player rolls doubles, they roll again after completing their turn. A player who rolls three consecutive sets of doubles on one turn has been "caught speeding" and is immediately sent to jail instead of moving the amount shown on the dice for the third roll. A player who lands on or passes the Go space collects $200 from the bank. Players who land on either Income Tax or Luxury Tax pay the indicated amount to the bank. In older editions of the game, two options were given for Income Tax: either pay a flat fee of $200 or 10% of total net worth (including the current values of all the properties and buildings owned). No calculation could be made before the choice, and no latitude was given for reversing an unwise calculation. In 2008, the calculation option was removed from the official rules, and simultaneously the Luxury Tax was increased to $100 from its original $75. No reward or penalty is given for landing on Free Parking. Properties can only be developed once a player owns all the properties in that color group. They then must be developed equally. A house must be built on each property of that color before a second can be built. Each property within a group must be within one house level of all the others within that group. Chance/Community Chest Edit Main article: Chance and Community Chest cards If a player lands on a Chance or Community Chest space, they draw the top card from the respective deck and follow its instructions. This may include collecting or paying money to the bank or another player or moving to a different space on the board. Two types of cards that involve jail, "Go to Jail" and "Get Out of Jail Free", are explained below. Jail Edit A player is sent to jail for doing any of the following: Landing directly on "Go to Jail"
“There is no possibility of balancing the Budget except by increasing the national income, which is much the same thing as increasing employment.” In Keynes’s day, many people—including politicians sympathetic to Keynes—were suspicious of the multiplier. The whole thing smacked of sophistry. Wapshott, in a long overdue and well-researched book that usefully gathers together much hitherto scattered information, recounts Keynes’s 1934 visit to the White House, where he expounded the logic of the multiplier to F.D.R. After he left, Roosevelt remarked to Frances Perkins, his Labor Secretary, “I saw your friend Keynes. He left a whole rigmarole of figures. He must be a mathematician rather than a political economist.” Despite the enormous public-works projects of the New Deal, F.D.R. didn’t formally adopt deficit spending as a policy tool. Indeed, he kept a keen eye on the red ink. In 1937, with the economy on the mend, he ordered tax hikes and spending cuts, which caused the economy to crater again. President Truman was even more suspicious of Keynesian theorizing. “Nobody can ever convince me that Government can spend a dollar that it’s not got,” he told Leon Keyserling, a Keynesian economist who chaired his Council of Economic Advisers. “I’m just a country boy.” The multiplier continues to spark controversy. Echoing the arguments that Keynes’s opponents at the Treasury made during the nineteen-thirties, conservative economists like Robert Barro, at Harvard, argue that it is close to zero: for every dollar the government borrows and spends, spending elsewhere in the economy falls by almost the same amount. Whenever individuals see the government boosting spending or cutting taxes on a temporary basis, Barro maintains, they figure that these policies will eventually have to be paid for in the form of higher taxes. As a result, they set aside extra money in savings, which cancels out the stimulus. Barro’s caution may apply in certain conditions—say, a highly indebted economy with close to full employment. It’s certainly true that the Keynesian multiplier varies according to how stimulus funds are spent; how the central bank reacts to higher government spending (if it raises interest rates, interest-sensitive spending will fall, reducing the multiplier); and, most important, whether workers and machinery are lying idle. But Keynes didn’t advocate deficit spending for an economy at full employment.
With accusations of lying, hustling for money and failed leadership, the race for the Democratic nomination took a decidedly negative turn, with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders exchanging a series of barbs over qualifications for the presidency.The testy exchanges underscored the heightened stakes for both sides as the race turns to New York, where Sanders hopes to turn his recent winning streak into concrete momentum toward the nomination. Clinton, meanwhile, is looking to the April 19 contest to take command of a primary race that many in her campaign worry will only amplify her weaknesses heading into the general election.Sanders path to the nomination remains narrow: The Vermont senator must win 68 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted super delegates if he hopes to clinch the Democratic nomination. That would require blow-out victories by Sanders in upcoming states big and small, including New York.Lagging in delegates and under fire from a frustrated Clinton, Sanders is shifting away from his pledge to avoid negative attacks and stinging her with direct accusations. "I will not leave here this morning and go to a Wall Street fundraiser," he told union members at an AFL-CIO conference in Philadelphia on Thursday. "I will not be hustling money from the wealthy and the powerful. "The comment was a direct dig at Clinton, who was headed to Ohio and Colorado for fundraising after a campaign stop in New York City. "This is not the type of politics that I wanna get in," he told journalists in Philadelphia. "But we'll get used to it fast. I'm not gonna get beat up. I'm not gonna get lied about. "Clinton sought to shift attention back to her Republican opponents, telling reporters Thursday: "I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any time, so let's keep our eye over what's at stake in this election. "Clinton sought to shift attention back to her Republican opponents, telling journalists on Thursday: "I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any time, so let's keep our eye over what's at stake in this election. "The race for the Democratic nomination has remained relatively civil as compared to a chaotic and crowded Republican race colored by flagrant attacks.Clinton has spent much of the past few weeks focused on Trump and Cruz, hoping to rally her party behind her by warning of regression to President Barack Obama's achievement should a Republican win the election.

I get a lot of weird looks whenever I describe Mirrors Edge as not only a great game but also one of my favourite games Ive ever played. People will often describe Mirrors Edge as shallow, complicated and sea-sickness inducing. All of these could be true and Im not going to pretend this game is flawless, but it is a game that I have willingly gone back to and completed on a number of occasions. This is made particularly easier by its short length, but to me, thats perfect! Im not looking for a second job when I go out and buy a new game, I want something that I can pick up and play a few evenings a week for an hour or so. The premise is simple, youre Faith, Faith is a messenger of sorts, also known as a terrorist. You move pieces of propaganda and other items around a futuristic dystopian city. With police and CCTV everywhere the safest and easiest way to get around is the rooftops. This is where Faiths parkour skills come in tremendous use. Your sister in the game is Kate, an unlucky police officer who gets framed for murder, your job as Faith is to find the truth and crack some heads open in the process.What makes this game truly special to me, and one Ill always return, to is the presentation. Aesthetically and audibly this game is a breath of fresh air for this current generation. Personally Im fed up of all the grim and gritty locales, everything being grey or brown is boring in real life, why would I want to spend hours of my life reliving the crappy excuse for a planet we live on. I love this games bare white buildings with small splashes of red, either for colour or indications of where you can climb (this is only available if youre a big girls blouse and play on easy or normal modes.) The world DICE has created with this game is one that just works wonderfully.The music in the game is chilled, it complements the stark futuristic nature of the game, the main theme music Still Alive with vocals from Lisa Miskovsky is a particular treat.
The Judicial Watch brief noted that the Archives “fails to identify a single, specific privacy interest Mrs. Clinton still has in the draft indictments” following publication of the independent counsel’s report and “hundreds of pages of grand jury materials, non-grand jury materials, and independent counsel legal theories and analysis that are already in the public domain.” A typical FOIA privacy claim centers on unwarranted invasions of personal privacy. But in Mrs. Clinton’s case, the brief noted, the Archives “makes no claims that disclosure of the draft indictments will reveal any particular personal, medical or financial information about Mrs. Clinton, much less anything intimate or potentially embarrassing.” Mrs. Clinton of course is one of the most famous women in the world, a former First Lady, senator and secretary of state, and the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for president of the United States. The findings of an investigation into whether Mrs. Clinton told the truth to federal investigators and withheld evidence under subpoena while she was First Lady is clearly matter of public interest as voters weigh her suitability for the highest office in the land.

Officials of the Federal Reserve System routinely issue remonstrances to the public, much as the Hindu fakir pipes an insistent tune to the dazed cobra which sways its head before him, not to resolve the situation, but to prevent it from striking him. Such was the soothing letter written by Donald J. Winn, Assistant to the Board of Governors in response to an inquiry by a Congressman, the Honorable Norman D. Shumway, on March 10, 1983. Mr. Winn states that "The Federal Reserve System was established by an act of Congress in 1913 and is not a 'private corporation'." On the next page, Mr. Winn continues, "The stock of the Federal Reserve Banks is held entirely by commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System." He offers no explanation as to why the government has never owned a single share of stock in any Federal Reserve Bank, or why the Federal Reserve System is not a "private corporation" when all of its stock is owned by "private corporations".American history in the twentieth century has recorded the amazing achievements of the Federal Reserve bankers. First, the outbreak of World War I, which was made possible by the funds available from the new central bank of the United States. Second, the Agricultural Depression of 1920. Third, the Black Friday Crash on Wall Street of October, 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. Fourth, World War II. Fifth, the conversion of the assets of the United States and its citizens from real property to paper assets from 1945 to the present, transforming a victorious America and foremost world power in 1945 to the world's largest debtor nation in 1990. Today, this nation lies in economic ruins, devastated and destitute, in much the same dire straits in which Germany and Japan found themselves in 1945. Will Americans act to rebuild our nation, as Germany and Japan have done when they faced the identical conditions which we now face--or will we continue to be enslaved by the Babylonian debt money system which was set up by the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 to complete our total destruction?
CM: That is really a hard question. If we look at some of these corporations that are on this list, or we look at some of these big corporations, Citigroup, for example, they are on this list of one of the companies that pays less in taxes than it pays its CEO Michael Corbat, $17.6 million in compensation last year. That is huge amount of money for the CEO of an institution like Citigroup that would not be in existence today if it wasn’t for the taxpayers, the little people, in the US. Citigroup would not exist. If we would have let these corporations, if we would let these companies do what they want to do during any true capitalist system, they would have failed back in 2008-2009. And then a healthier company, maybe a company where CEOs are more interested in building a sustainable company, a company that employs people, expends not through paper assets, not through trading stock in their company, and not by firing workers in order to increase a bottom line - if we would have let the corporations like Citigroup fail and let healthy institutions come into their place - it would be a good start. Right now we have crony capitalism. So the institutions like Citigroup can never fail, it doesn’t matter how big of mistakes they make or how bad investments they sell. It just doesn’t matter because their failure will ultimately will end on the backs of the people and they will continue to amass profits. $70.6 million for Michael Corbat last year, the company got a $260 million tax refund because of special levers that they were given so they would invest in unprofitable businesses. Letting free market capitalism work would go a long way in fixing a lot of these problems. Unfortunately when we are talking about these institutions that are so behemoth we don’t let free market capitalism work, we treat them differently than we do small business in this country.
First of all Mr. X. wants to know why the chief service of Sunday morning is not Morning Prayer, but what appears to be an elaborate repetition of the early service. The Gospels tell us that in the same night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ commanded his disciples to perform a sacred rite. At his last supper he took bread and wine, he blessed and gave thanks, and distributed them to his disciples, saying," Do this in remembrance of me." That is the one service which our Lord has commanded his Church to observe; and therefore the Church has always regarded it as her chief form of public worship. No Christian would deny that the "Our Father," the prayer which our Saviour Christ himself has taught us, is the greatest of all Christian prayers; so also the Communion or "the Mass" is the greatest of all services because it has been given us by our Lord himself. In the Acts of the Apostles we are told that the first Christians "continued steadfast in the breaking of bread and the prayers." "The prayers" probably refers to services similar to the Jewish services with which the disciples were familiar, and in which the reading of the scriptures played an important part. Thus the service of Holy Communion today is substantially the same service as that at which the first Christians worshipped at Jerusalem. From the beginning to the Creed we have "the prayers" (including scripture readings); then we proceed to "the breaking of bread." And from the first it has been the custom of the universal Church that every baptized person should attend the Lord's service on the Lord's day. It is clearly wrong that we should neglect that duty nowadays; and therefore it is important that the Lord's service should take place on Sundays at an hour when most people can attend church. In England this is usually at some such hour as n o'clock. By this service, as St. Paul says, we "do show the Lord's death till he come." At the Last Supper our Lord gave his followers a means by which they could enter in to that one perfect sacrifice which next day he was to offer upon the Cross for the salvation of all mankind.
The experiment was tried again by Morley and by others, with the same conclusion; the apparent velocity of the earth through the ether was zero.” (Lincoln Barnett, The Universe and Dr. Einstein) “A great deal of research has been carried out concerning the influence of the Earth’s movement. The results were always negative.” (Henri Poincare’, La science et l’hypothese, 1901, p.182) “…to the question whether or not the motion of the Earth in space can be made perceptible in terrestrial experiments. We have already remarked…that all attempt of this nature let to a negative result. Before the theory of relativity was put forward, it was difficult to become reconciled to this negative result.” (Albert Einstein, “Relativity –The Special and General Theory,” cited in Stephen Hawking’s, A Stubbornly Persistent Illusion, 2007, p. 169) “The data were almost unbelievable… There was only one other possible conclusion to draw – that the Earth was at rest.” (Bernard Jaffe, Michelson and the Speed of Light, 1960, p. 76) “Thus, even now, three and a half centuries after Galileo…it is still remarkably difficult to say categorically whether the earth moves…” (Julian B. Barbour, Absolute or Relative Motion, Cambridge University Press, 1989, p. 226) “Briefly, everything occurs as if the Earth were at rest…” (Henrick Lorentz, Lorentz’s 1886 paper, “On the Influence of the Earth’s Motion of Lumineferous Phenomena”) Modern so called scientists freely admit that heliocentrism is merely the preferred model of cosmology and the choice to believe it is made purely on philosophical grounds and not scientific ones. Einstein’s relativity theory is an unprovable assumption which secularists unfortunately and desperately grasp onto and tout as “fact.” After the famous Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 Einstein’s biographer Ronald W. Clark describes what came next: “In the United States Albert Michelson and Edward Morley had performed an experiment which confronted scientists with an appalling choice. Designed to show the existence of the ether…it had yielded a null result, leaving science with the alternatives of tossing aside the key which had helped to explain the phenomena of electricity magnetism, and light or of deciding that the earth was not in fact moving at all.” (Einstein: The Life and Times, 1984, p. 57) To save the world from having to reconnect with the Middle Ages Einstein set his mind to create the relativity myth that would cover up the Michelson-Morley experiment whose prima facie results showed the Earth wasn’t moving.
The State Committee official stated that the Bible is a banned publication and must therefore be confiscated.The Old Testament, Nursi's 14-volume "Risale-i Nur" (Messages of Light) collection of writings, and several Jehovah's Witness publications were included on a police list of alleged "banned" religious literature, based on State Committee "expert analyses" (see F18News 6 May 2014 http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=1955 ).The State Committee does not publish any list of books it has banned, despite promises by the then State Committee Head in April 2013 that it would do so "soon" (see F18News 2 May 2013 http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=1830 ).After seizing religious literature from those present at the Mingachevir Jehovah's Witness meeting, the police took all attendees to the town's Police Station, where officers questioned and ordered them to write statements. The police held them until 10.30 pm, after having deprived them of their liberty for six hours.Major Elkhan Farajov of Mingachevir Police Public Safety Department drew up a record of an "offence" against Aliyev under Article 299.0.2 of the then Administrative Code (Article 515.0.2 of the new Administrative Code – see below), according to case materials. This Article punishes "Violating rules established by legislation on holding religious meetings, marches, and other religious ceremonies" with fines on individuals of 1,500 to 2,000 Manats. The case was then handed to court.Mingachevir: fine and action against parentsOn 3 March, Mingachevir City Court Judge Huseyn Mirzaliyev convicted Aliyev and fined him 1,500 Manats (8,400 Norwegian Kroner, 900 Euros or 1,000 US Dollars). The average monthly wage for employees in the first three months of 2016 was 485 Manats, according to the State Statistical Committee. The fine therefore represents more than three months wages for employees, though far more for those (like Aliyev) without formal work.On 22 April, Judge Huseynov of Sheki Appeal Court rejected Aliyev's appeal, according to the decision seen by Forum 18. The Judge dismissed Aliyev's arguments that the punishments had violated his rights under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. This guarantees the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion for all, "either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his [sic] religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance".After the raid, police officers summoned parents and children of the participants of the religious meeting. Police informed one of the parents, Arzu Ibrahimova, that they had issued a record of an administrative "offence" against her.
F.A.N. is one of the leading organizations that is working feverishly to eliminate fluoride from the water supply. Dr. Paul Connett is one of our Health Liberty partners and we deeply appreciate and applaud all his organization's hard efforts. We have reprinted their excellent recommendations on how to decrease your fluoride exposure below. 1) Stop Drinking Fluoridated Water: Tap water consumption is, on average, the largest daily source of fluoride exposure for people who live in areas that add fluoride to the water. Avoiding consumption of fluoridated water is especially critical for infants. If you live in area which fluoridates its water, you can avoid drinking the fluoride in one of three ways: Water Filters: One way of avoiding the fluoride from tap water is to purchase a water filter. Not all water filters, however, remove fluoride. The three types of filters that can remove fluoride are reverse osmosis, deionizers (which use ion-exchange resins), and activated alumina. Each of these filters should be able to remove about 90% of the fluoride. By contrast, "activated carbon" filters (e.g., Brita & Pur) do not remove fluoride. For more information on water filters, click here. Spring Water: Another way to avoid fluoride from tap water is to purchase spring water. Most brands of spring water contain very low levels of fluoride. Some brands, however, do contain high levels (e.g., Trinity Springs). Before consuming any bottled water on a consistent basis, therefore, you should verify that the fluoride content is less than 0.2 ppm, and ideally less than 0.1 ppm. You can find out the level of fluoride level in some of the popular brands here. You can also find out the fluoride level by calling the number on the water label. (Most companies have this information readily available.) Water Distillation: A third way to avoid fluoride from the tap is to purchase a distillation unit. Water distillation will remove most, if not all, of the fluoride. The price for a distillation units varies widely depending on the size. Small counter-top units cost as little as $200, while large units can exceed $1,000. If you don't know if your area is fluoridated, you can find out by contacting your local water department. If you live in the U.S., you can also find out by going to FAN's State Fluoride Database.
Where they were a minority, they could always invoke their status as founders of Canada to back their claims, but if the French speaking communities become mostly made up of immigrants, why would these immigrants receive services in their own language while more numerous Chinese or Hindus be denied these same rights? Or, as French speaking immigrants start gaining ground over French Canadians, would they not start acting as the true representatives of the French heritage in Canada, pushing the Quebecois aside as senile leftovers from the past?Furthermore, these new immigrants joining the ranks of French Canadian communities seldom reduce their identity to the sole linguistic aspects. They consider themselves to be Muslims, Blacks, Haitians, North Africans, etc. The fact that French Canadians have sabotaged their own organizations to become a purely linguistic lobby ultimately works against them, because, as previously mentioned, without the historical argument, as a founding people who were instrumental in the creation of Canada's institutions, French Canadians have no more legitimacy than any other group.For instance, in Vancouver, Francophones represent one percent of the population while immigrant languages are spoken by 40%. Rights and privileges granted to Francophones for historical reasons become null and void if French communities become a solely linguistic club representing French speaking immigrants. Why would a freshly arrived Haitian receive services in his language and not the more numerous Chinese?The Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc school in Edmonton also shows the failure of the immigration strategy for French Canadians. Immigrants represent around 20% of Edmonton's French community. When school resumed in September 2014, a petition demanding Black teachers was presented to the school administration. For the 500 people who had signed the letter, it was unthinkable that there was no Black teacher in this school. Therefore, it proves that immigrants, unlike French Canadians, do not reduce their identity to language only, but include racial identity.
[image: Inline image 1] Themes for 2016 Emerge as Summer 2014 Winds Down TO: UndisclosedFROM: Isaac Wright, Director, Correct The Record DATE: July 31, 2014 SUBJECT: August Reading - Themes of 2016 Emerging Seven central themes <http://correctrecord.org/memo-themes-for-2016-emerge-as-summer-2014-winds-down/> are emerging leading up to the 2016 presidential contest and a potential Hillary Clinton candidacy. Republican leaders and operatives don't want to run against Hillary Clinton and have applied a full-court press in an attempt to stop her from entering the race or, at least, diminish her as a candidate. Right-wing strategists realize Hillary Clinton is well suited for a 2016 general election and are spending significant quantities of money, political capital, and time hoping to undercut Clinton’s momentum, forward-thinking vision and record of accomplishment. It hasn’t worked. Public opinion has leveled out from record-high approval ratings in her tenure as the country’s top diplomat, and key indicators suggest the right-wing attack machine is not substantially changing the dynamic. The American people haven't allowed it. They know better. They know who is focused on the future. Americans want Hillary to lead. Seven key themes integral to a 2016 Clinton candidacy have emerged, speaking to the substantive strength of a potential Clinton candidacy that begins in the Democratic primary and ends in the White House. Clinton’s perception among the Democratic base has evolved into a unique party unity never before seen by either party. 1.) Public opinion is much better for Clinton now than it was in 2008. 2.) Americans across the ideological spectrum, liberals and moderates in particular, are looking positively to a Hillary Clinton run for President. 3.) Voters, specifically Democrats, are eager for her experience. 4.) Clinton is in step with her party on core issues, particularly income inequality. 5.) No credible challenger can amass the kind of broad party support Clinton has. 6.) Voters are behind her, not just politicos. 7.) Hillary Clinton's work ethic has been on display for months. Clinton and her supporters, if she chooses to run, do not want a coronation but rather will work hard, seek voters’ support and build a winning coalition. Considering these seven themes, one can understand why Republicans are so nervous about a potential Clinton candidacy, and why the right wing feels the need to double-down on their failed attacks even now. 1. Public opinion is much better for Clinton now than in 2008.
All Major League Umpires will be wearing a patch in memory of Harry Wendelstedt this season Long time Major League Umpire Harry Wendelstedt passed away on Friday March 9, 2012 after a long battle with brain cancer. He was 73. His 33 year major league career began in 1966 and he retired in 1998. He umpired five World Series (1973, 1980, 1986, 1991 and 1995) serving as the Crew Chief in 1980 and 1995. He also umpired seven National League Championship Series (1970, 1972, 1977, 1981, 1982, 1988, 1990) , three National League Divisional Series (1995, 1996 and 1997) and four All- Star Games (1968, 1976, 1983, 1992). He ranks 11th all time in number of years umpired in the Major Leagues and 5th all time for number of games worked with 4,500. A former President of the Major League Umpire's Association, he was instrumental in helping start and build the umpire's union. Wendelstedt called balls and strikes in 5 no-hitters, tying an NL record held by Bill Klem. On May 31, 1968, Wendelstedt made a famous call that preserved Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale's consecutive shutouts and scoreless innings streaks. Giants catcher Dick Dietz came to the plate in the top of the 9th inning with the bases loaded and no outs. On a 2-2 count, Drysdale hit Dietz on the elbow, apparently forcing in a run that would have ended the streaks. However, Wendelstedt ruled that Dietz made no attempt to avoid being struck by the pitch, and called him back. Drysdale retired Dietz on a short fly ball and got out of the inning without yielding a run, earning his fifth (of six) consecutive shutouts. The "Harry Wendelstedt Umpire's School" has taught more Major League Umpires than any other school in history. Today the majority of Major League Umpires attended the Wendelstedt School. And no one anywhere in the world has taught more amateur umpires the skills and techniques of umpiring than Wendelstedt.
Did you know that my favorite types of skincare products are actually travel packs?I like them more than samples or full sized products actually! They are cheap, practical and large enough to test between 2 - 4 weeks. Samples can be too small to properly test and full sizes are just huge! Especially as a blogger, I get to test a lot and I often have full sizes standing around not doing anything. I have to admit that even before being a blogger, I liked to experiment with skincare (due to never finding anything that worked for me) and travel sizes were my go to. Also, I like trying a whole line of products and even some that I would normally not buy.You can image how happy I was when Honestskin sent me two different travel sets to try out!Today, as you can cleverly deduct by the title, I will be reviewing the Moistgen line by Iope.I tested all of the items separately for a short time and finished testing the whole line for about two weeks.Wow is this moisturising!Let me start with the softener.I really liked this product actually! It is a quite hydrating toner that is very mild and watery. The whole line smells the same, kind of a fresh citrusy smell, but this softener is not very strong in the scent department. I felt that it added hydration to my skin, in a light way that was quite refreshing.All in all I would be happy to have this in my line up again.PH: 4.5Ingredients: Couldn't find themRating:The serum was lovely as well. It is a creamy milky serum that hydrates, but I could tell it had some oils in it too, which makes it moisturising yet lightweight.It smells just like the softener but once again in an unobtrusive way.I liked the silkiness of the serum and it was pleasant to apply to my face.PH: 5Ingredients: Couldn't find themRating:Next up is my least favorite of the line. Well, that might be a deceiving statement.I actually liked it but I believe it didn’t fit into the line up too well.More on that later though.As a stand alone product, I did like the emulsion. Its a liquidy milky type product that is neither too runny nor too thick. Just as the two above, it smells the same just a tiny bit stronger. Keep in mind I am very scentsitive so you might not even notice it.
Such societies are evolutionarily superior to modern culture. When modern culture has decayed sufficiently, a good moral patriarchal culture should attack modern culture and slaughter all of its men for the genetic good of humanity.If a woman from the modern culture calls a moral man a loser, the correct response is "I would be a loser if I were a member of your culture, but I am not. My culture is superior to your culture and my culture will eventually destroy your culture." Intelligent moral men must reject modern culture and find an alternative. And from the perspective of an alternative culture, we can recognize feminism as a good thing that is helping to destroy our enemy, namely modern culture.
In principle, this kind of organization could be arranged so that it gives rise to a complex of high Φ, although this is certainly not the way the Internet works right now. On the other hand, if one considers the micro-elements inside each computer (say its transistors) as having real cause–effect power, we are back to the situation in which they most likely would not form any large complex within each computer, let alone across connected computers. 16 A well-known instance of such an extrapolation is the inference of singularities in space–time due to the extreme mass of a stellar object. Such black holes were pure conjectures, based on a solution of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, until they were subsequently confirmed observationally.

So Reid may still have to try to peel off the two senators from Maine, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, but the addition of Franken, who is certain to vote with the caucus on almost everything, does make his life a bit easier. But to get senators like Nelson or Snowe to vote for cloture, the bills may have to be watered down somewhat. Global warming is probably the easier of the two since the senators from Maine have never dug their heels in against the environment and Maine has no coal mining and few, if any, coal plants that would suffer from the cap-and-trade system required to make any progress in reducing global warming. Health care reform is a different story. Probably all Republicans and a handful of Democrats--including some surprising characters like Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC)--are dead set against any bill with a public insurance option in it--Medicare for all. It will be very hard for Reid to get 60 votes with a public option. On the other hand, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that a bill without a public option does not have the votes to pass the House because the 77-member progressive caucus won't go for it. If the Senate won't pass a bill with a public option and the House won't pass one without a public option, what is going to happen? One possibility is no bill at all. But President Obama would consider that a colossal failure and it would probably mean he would be a one-term President. One possibility would be for him to give his notorius chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, a meat cleaver--and the collected works of Lorena Bobbit--and tell him to go over to Capitol Hill and not come back until he has the votes. Another option is to use the reconcilation process to ram the bill through, something that would enrage the Republicans (although George Bush used it to pass his tax cuts). As long as Joe Biden is alive and well, it would take only 50 Democratic votes to pass a health care bill via the reconciliation process as reconciliation bills cannot be filibustered under Senate rules. This is clearly not Obama or Reid's first choice, but it is a threat that can be held over the head of recalcitrant Democrats and Republicans. There is one final consideration that shouldn't be forgotten. Two Democrats, Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd, are extremely ill.
As to be expected, the big trades are getting most of the attention. We do have some solo climbers up on the big lonesome, the solitude their objective. Oli is done with NNL while Matt is just starting. Stevie G is on a favorite … JTree was too hot so he came north. On the upper east side Zodiac and the Straw are getting some traffic but the rest of the SE face lies empty all the way to the Nose. Lots of action on Salathe and Freerider. The Nose is getting a lot of action but has yet to get jammed up. The Muir is becoming popular again with two teams on it at the moment, and another just off. I am in site 1 of camp 4, look for the lime green rain fly with the lights. I haven’t gotten around to do any scenic shots but hope to get away from EC in late afternoon. I will try to get a report out each week or so but understand that I will not be writing or posting shots of every team, although I will be shooting everyone. ElCap Report 5/16/18 Submitted by Tom Evans on Wed, 05/16/2018 - 23:36 ElCap Report 5/16/18 By Tom Evans Yo... It seems like the Spring climbing season is in full swing now. ElCap Report 10/26 to 31/17 Submitted by Tom Evans on Sun, 11/12/2017 - 18:53 ElCap Report 10/26 to 31/2017 By Tom Evans Yo… The great fall weather held up to the end of the season. The hallmarks of the season were the huge rockfalls of late September, early October, and death and injury as you have read in previous ElCap Reports. However, along with tragedy came the triumphs of climbers who fulfilled long held ambitions and dreams. Lots of free climbs were attempted on ElCap as a wave of European climbers swarmed over the great rock. We also got to watch some, rarely done, wall style climbs too. This is the last report of the fall season. Remember to let me know who the climbers are in the shots, if they are not identified, so I can put their names with their shots. I received word (11/15/17) that Keita Kurahami who worked the Nose this fall did make a free ascent! Congratualtions!

What does Philae do during descent? All being well, Rosetta and its lander will begin communications about two hours after separation. During the seven-hour descent, Philae will take images and conduct science experiments, sampling the dust, gas and plasma environment close to the comet. It will take a ‘farewell’ image of the Rosetta orbiter shortly after separation, along with a number of images as it approaches the comet surface. It is expected that the first images from this sequence will be received on Earth several hours after separation. Once safely on the surface, Philae will take a panorama of its surroundings. Again, this is expected back on Earth several hours later. The first sequence of surface science experiments will begin about an hour after touchdown and will last for 64 hours, constrained by the lander’s primary battery lifetime. Longer-term study of the comet by Philae will depend on for how long and how well the batteries are able to recharge, which in turn is related to the amount of dust that settles on its solar panels. In any case, it is expected that by March 2015, as the comet moves closer in its orbit towards the Sun, temperatures inside the lander will have reached levels too high to continue operations, and Philae’s science mission will come to an end. The Rosetta orbiter’s mission will continue for much longer. It will accompany the comet as it grows in activity until their closest approach to the Sun in August 2015 and then as they head back towards the outer Solar System. This unprecedented mission will study how a comet evolves and give important insights into the formation of our Solar System, and the origins of water and perhaps even life on Earth. A detailed operations timeline, including key Go/No-Go decisions leading up to separation, will be available soon.
Nevertheless, several other studies did not support previously reported associations of BD and MDD (Bailer et al., 2005; Byrne et al., 2014; Calati, Gaspar‐Barba, Yukler, & Serretti, 2010; Crisafulli et al., 2013; Desan et al., 2000; Etain et al., 2014; Kishi et al., 2009b, 2011; Mansour et al., 2009; Nievergelt et al., 2006). Other negative findings involve investigations of treatment response (Geoffroy et al., 2016; Rybakowski, Dmitrzak‐Weglarz, Kliwicki, & Hauser, 2014), seasonal variations in mood (Geoffroy et al., 2015; Johansson et al., 2003; Paik et al., 2007), and chronotypes (Etain et al., 2014). Also, sleep disturbances (insomnia, daytime sleepiness, sleep quality) were not associated with rs1801260 in untreated patients with MDD (Antypa et al., 2012; Serretti et al., 2010). Moreover, nine SNPs in CLOCK gene (rs1801260, rs3805148, rs6849474, rs11932595, rs12648271, rs6850524, rs12649507, rs4340844, rs534654) were evaluated in relation to temperamental dimensions (depressive, cychothymic, hyperthymic, irritable, and anxious) in BD patients and no association was observed (Rybakowski, Dmitrzak‐Weglarz, Dembinska‐Krajewska, et al., 2014). In summary, these findings emphasize the importance of the CLOCK gene in regulation of mood disorders, although the data are still controversial regarding clinical findings. Several clinical studies failed to report an association between mood disorder diagnosis or associated symptoms and CLOCK gene SNPs. Lack of gender‐stratified analyses or population‐specific studies are amongst the possible reasons for the inconsistent finding.
In addition, mood disturbance can contribute not only to impairment of memory, but also to sleep disturbance, HPA axis dysregulation, and autonomic dysfunction and related pro-inflammatory changes, thus helping to promote a vicious cycle of adverse physiologic, neuroendocrine, and psychosocial changes that foster the development and progression of AD, CVD, and related chronic conditions (41, 63, 64).”
By the early 1920s, Toyne's 'All-Metal Rotary Clothes Hoist' was being manufactured and advertised in Australia - about 25 years before the first 'Hills Hoist' which was the first to attach a handle to raise and lower the hoist.Also see Melbourne History on the Line for a photograph of a rotary clothes line taken in 1873, 73 years 'before' the Hills hoist developed by Lance Hill.James Harrison began operation of a mechanical Ice-Making Machine in 1851 on the banks of the Barwon River at Rocky Point in Geelong. His first commercial ice-making machine followed in 1854 and his patent for an ether liquid-vapour compression refrigeration system was granted in 1855. Harrison introduced commercial vapor-compression refrigeration to breweries and meat packing houses, and by 1861 a dozen of his systems were in operation.An aircraft approach and landing guidance system using microwaves was successfully tested at Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne.Kiwi is the brand name of a shoe polish, invented by William Ramsay and Hamilton McKellan in a small factory in Melbourne.

In an effort to eliminate social inequalities, Guevara and Cuba's new leadership had moved to swiftly transform the political and economic base of the country through nationalizing factories, banks, and businesses, while attempting to ensure affordable housing, healthcare, and employment for all Cubans. [152] However, in order for a genuine transformation of consciousness to take root, it was believed that such structural changes had to be accompanied by a conversion in people's social relations and values. Believing that the attitudes in Cuba towards race, women, individualism, and manual labor were the product of the island's outdated past, all individuals were urged to view each other as equals and take on the values of what Guevara termed "el Hombre Nuevo" (the New Man). [152] Guevara hoped his "new man" to be ultimately "selfless and cooperative, obedient and hard working, gender-blind, incorruptible, non-materialistic, and anti-imperialist". [152] To accomplish this, Guevara emphasized the tenets of Marxism–Leninism, and wanted to use the state to emphasize qualities such as egalitarianism and self-sacrifice, at the same time as "unity, equality, and freedom" became the new maxims. [152] Guevara's first desired economic goal of the new man, which coincided with his aversion for wealth condensation and economic inequality, was to see a nationwide elimination of material incentives in favor of moral ones. He negatively viewed capitalism as a "contest among wolves" where "one can only win at the cost of others" and thus desired to see the creation of a "new man and woman". [153] Guevara continually stressed that a socialist economy in itself is not "worth the effort, sacrifice, and risks of war and destruction" if it ends up encouraging "greed and individual ambition at the expense of collective spirit". [154] A primary goal of Guevara's thus became to reform "individual consciousness" and values to produce better workers and citizens. [154] In his view, Cuba's "new man" would be able to overcome the "egotism" and "selfishness" that he loathed and discerned was uniquely characteristic of individuals in capitalist societies. [154] To promote this concept of a "new man", the government also created a series of party-dominated institutions and mechanisms on all levels of society, which included organizations such as labor groups, youth leagues, women's groups, community centers, and houses of culture to promote state-sponsored art, music, and literature. In congruence with this, all educational, mass media, and artistic community based facilities were nationalized and utilized to instill the government's official socialist ideology.
Aware or not, their tactics may include the following:Found in the US Army FM 3-0 -- an offensive operation executed in order to develop the situation and to gain or regain, and then maintain contact with the enemy.-- alternating movement of coordinated units to allow, if necessary, suppressive fire in support of offensive forward movement or defensive disengagement.– a term used in warfare, is a combat action that occurs when a moving force, incompletely deployed for battle, engages an enemy at an unexpected time and place.The video games known as Mechwarrior lend themselves somewhat to the platoon/flight tactics common to modern helicopter, tank and infantry fighting vehicle warfare. By somewhat, it is likely that only three of the common tactics used leading up to the combat phase can effectively and deliberately be implemented in a video game by all but the most hardcore teams. These three tactics, “Movement to Contact”, “Bounding Overwatch”, and “the Meeting Engagement” are generally the ones most gamers can work through with little difficulty. Other tactics, like flanking maneuvers, tactical withdrawal, pincer movement, or concentration of fire take much practice as a team if they are ever to be effective.An examination of the first three tactics, adapted from US Army FM 3-0, will set the tone for future posts. First, Movement to Contact – here we will show the basic formations you can use whilst looking for the enemy or on route to a mission goal. Later, we will show how, in the movement to contact/bounding overwatch phase, you can transition to attack formations at the time of the meeting engagement.-- an offensive operation executed in order to develop the situation and to gain or regain, and then maintain contact with the enemy.In this activity, a four-mech lance moves out to the general area expected to hold an enemy offensive or defensive force. (‘Mechs here are represented by helicopters. These tactics were copied when the U.S. Army transitioned to a four-tank platoon concept in the late-70's/early 80's.) There are several configurations this strategy can take:, or. The choice of formation will be dependent upon the terrain most of all and also based somewhat upon the mission and/or scouting information forwarded to the unit commander. These are some examples found in helicopter tactics which can also be employed in tank/combined arms ( hereafter ‘Mech) operations.
