MUMBAI: Pune developer Avinash Bhosale on Wednesday served a Rs 100 crore defamation notice on AAP leader Preeti Menon and Pune-based Rajesh Bajaj for making false, frivolous and baseless allegations against him over a land transaction in Pune. Bhosale told TOI he was initiating civil and criminal proceedings against them.Menon and Bajaj had urged chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to revoke the order by then revenue minister, Eknath Khadse, in favour ABIL, a firm controlled by Bhosale, as it was bad in law and had resulted in a loss of Rs 1,000 crore to the state exchequer.An ABIL spokesperson said the allegations were made without adequate home work, on the basis of false information and for cheap publicity as Bhosale is a developer. “The cost of the plot is Rs 11 crore and ABIL paid a stamp duty of Rs 57.55 lakh. There is no substance in the allegation that the state exchequer has suffered a loss of Rs 1,000 crore. Our deal was transparent and all documents are available for inspection,’’ he said.On the row over transfer of lease of a cooperative housing society, he said the Pune additional collector had passed an order that the sub-divisional officer should check if there was violation of lease conditions and accordingly submit a report to the state government. ABIL had approached the additional divisional commissioner (Pune), who set aside the July 7, 2015 order and sent back the file to the additional collector to check if ABIL is liable to pay unearned income on the transaction.ABIL said Bhosale never approached Khadse for a judicial review; in fact Sunil Patil had filed an appeal before him on the row over the land. “Khadse passed an order on the basis of documents and evidence before him, as Bhosale was not a party, so there was no question of granting him a favour,’’ he said.
This is a great question because prison is often portrayed as a static environment where nothing changes and one day just blends in to the next. I imagine this to be the case for some but it couldn’t be further from the truth for me.The biggest difference for me is my days off are Saturday and Sunday. Monday – Friday from 6:30am – 2:30pm I work for an organization called Centerforce as a peer health educator at San Quentin (). This job keeps me super busy and brings a much appreciated sense of variety to my life. Not only am I responsible for giving hepatitis and HIV/AIDS presentations to the general population throughout the week.I also facilitate 3 different classes, assist in the curriculum development, and train other Peer Health Educators. On top of this, after hours I’m always on call to do 1 on 1 peer health outreach with other incarcerated men at San Quentin.In addition, after work Monday through Friday, I participate in a number of self-help groups:Mondays from 2:30pm to 5pm, I work with the San Quentin T.R.U.S.T.Tuesdays from 6pm to 7:45pm, I work with The Last Mile.Wednesdays from 6pm to 7:45pm, I work as a tutor for men trying to earn their G.E.D.Thursday from 2:30pm to 5pm, I work with the San Quentin T.R.U.S.T. and from 6pm to 7:45pm, I work with The Last Mile.Fridays I teach a Health Education class from 2pm to 3pm, and from 3pm to 5pm, I participate in the Victim Offender Education Group (V.O.E.G. )Saturday and Sunday are my days off but I participate in additional programs on these days too.Saturdays:11am to 2:15pm, I participate in the California Reentry Institute2:30pm – 5pm, I am a facilitator/participant in a program called “No More Tears,” 6pm to 7:45pm I serve as an usher in the Protestant Chapel.\Sundays:8am – 12:30pm, I serve as an usher in the Protestant Chapel2pm to 5pm, I participate in the Stanford University Criminology Seminar with the Prison University Project6pm to 7:45pm, I serve again as an usher at the Protestant Chapel.In between all of this, I have to cook, eat, sleep, study, wash clothes, exercise, answer Quora questions, write tweets and blogs, work on my business pitch for The Last Mile program and take care of a host of other responsibilities. Staying so busy adds variety (among other things) to my life and makes everyday a new and exciting experience despite the fact that I’m in prison.

Plus, it has limited application, since it must enhance a Character unit, making it, in many instances, useless when playing against a vehicle-heavy Rebel Alliance deck. In most Jedi builds, which units get committed to the force most often? Luke or perhaps Han will not be committed to the force too often, and so are unlikely good targets for this. Also, if you add it to Yoda, you augment him significantly. Additionally, you increase the ability of your Jedi opponent to play Calm or Weapon Mastery. But, there are some solid arguments for it being a decent card. With the coming deluxe expansion, there will be Smugglers and Spies decks that, like the Jedi, run a significant amount of characters, which will likely increase the playability of The Killing Cold.This card can go from amazing to completely mediocre, depending on your opponent’s character to vehicle ratio. In its best use, Icetromper is involved in an engagement in which you win the edge battle, allowing you to strike for one damage, subsequently sacrificing it to remove an attacking non-vehicle unit from the engagement, and dealing an additional damage to it. If you defend with an Icetromper against Luke, for instance, and win the edge battle, you are a simple Force Choke away from killing him. If you win an edge battle against an attacking Han Solo, Icetromper destroys him, barring any saves, etc. Icetromper is less conditional than Fear, since it applies to non-Vehicle units (e.g., droids, etc. ), but it becomes considerably less relevant when facing a vehicle-heavy deck. And, if you run two copies of The Killing Cold, you will be drawing Icetrompers consistently. That is something to keep in mind when considering whether to add The Killing Cold to your Sith build. It can make certain match-ups pretty painful.This is a great edge battle card. It has two big downsides, 1) it can only be played during your turn, and 2) it can only move damage from a Hoth objective. So, you cannot use it to reactively save an objective from being destroyed; the objective has to live through an attack or two, and then you can move damage from it, and it has to be a Hoth objective. So, if you have no revealed Hoth objectives, this is a de facto edge stack card. In the relatively rare instance that it could be useful, it is potentially devastating.
In another situation that I once had, I called to sign up for DSL a few years ago, and the rep told me that I couldn't get it at my location. When I said I was surprised, she told me to wait as she tried it on her "other computer," and that one said I could get DSL. It seems that even the DSL providers don't seem to have very good or consistent information themselves, so it's little surprise that customers get conflicting reports -- some of which lead them to paying too much for services they can't actually use.
However, she's still new around here, and outside of being the only human babe, she doesn't have much more going for her. Great as an icon, but not much more than that... for now.4 - OdetteWhen they see you, they stare. Odette is one of the top notch privateers of the interpretational Na'vi Galactic Empire. Considerate of others and other creatures, Odette insures the best for her people and allies, let alone enjoying enough of life to keep from working too hard. Frankly, it all comes with a cost; she's very pushy about some things, and it makes close relationships somewhat iffy. Bond with her if you will, but beware the deep-hidden savage behaviors you may find.3 - GardinaThe only other Pokemon to actually get anywhere in a list, Gardina the Ho-Oh is by all means the shimmering fire of beauty. Similar to Ericka, she's a bard, capable of singing songs, dancing, and playing musical instruments, as well as to perform on stage and battle. However, just like Ericka, her self-esteem is rather easy to topple, although it takes a group, not a single person, to bring her down. If she wasn't so afraid of being judged, she might have been able to beat this horse that got in the way...2 - JoanProof that not all things dark are evil, Joan is the prime example of how the Dyrehearse tend to be. Her modest and kind nature towards friends and unsure visitors makes her likeable, and her high level of tolerance towards others is also prized. She is also a skilled fighter of various weapons, and understands how many trades work, despite her job of being just a Paladin. However, like some of the other ladies on this list, she is sensitive about herself in terms of appearance and beliefs, although this is probably just more of the whole "OMG U RELIGUZ" that some enemies of the race have against them. Too bad, this horse could have beaten the top lady had she had a little more confidence...1 - AthenaAthena? Whut?! What makes her so different and special? Well, for starters, she doesn't fret over her looks and beliefs, and only is embarrassed when she has to present some off-the-wall (yet true) theory or discovery that's gonna take a lot of explaining to people. But as for everything else, hey, she's happy with it all.

Although it could be considered a base model, the MST is far from that; it’s a well-equipped bike with the aforementioned TFT instrument panel, Öhlins NIX adjustable front suspension, a Progressive shock (with a remote preload adjuster), Brembo brakes, forged OZ aluminum wheels, a 720-watt alternator, removable side cases and a centerstand as standard equipment. A 30-liter top case is optional, as are a mid- and full-tour windscreen, dual rear power ports, heated grips, a heated seat and a low seat. What do you get for the extra $6000 the R commands? Beyond the high-lift cam and fancy red valve covers, it’s top-notch suspension, brakes and wheels. The MST-R boasts Öhlins front and rear, with a NIX cartridge fork complemented by a TTX shock with remote preload adjuster. Brembo M4 Monobloc calipers handle braking, while the wheels are lightweight carbon-fiber hardware from BST. The R also has three standard power ports. To understate the task, creating a new motorcycle from scratch, and selling it, is a massive, multifaceted undertaking. And thus far, Motus, a private company with several good partners (including Pratt & Miller), appears to be on the right track, filling a unique niche—torquey American sport-tourer with some GM racing DNA coursing through its oil passages—with a bike that clearly has enormous appeal, based on the crowds swarming it at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Deliveries of production bikes are scheduled for this fall, pending U.S. government certification after all calibration and homologation tests have been completed. This is expected soon, says Conn, who adds that all bikes will be fitted with catalytic converters and carbon canisters. We look forward to throwing a leg over a 2014 Motus ST-R soon, and subjecting this new American sport-tourer to a full Cycle World test.
This is clearly not credible, and is omitted from most modern performances of the ballad. Rather than try to explain it in terms of the tactics of the day, it seems preferable to look to politics. King Ranald’s near-mythical ancestor, Ragnvald I, is said to have fought at Stamford Bridge, where the Norwegian army was (according to saga) routed through being surprised and caught without its armour. Surely the episode of fetching the mail coat is some reference to this ancestral event; but what its purpose may be we cannot tell at this distance in time. Satire, commentary, editorial? Perhaps it is meant to comment on the strategic unpreparedness of the King; it was the disaster of the Northumbrian War that had sufficiently weakened his grasp on the throne – more accurately, his immediately available forces – that MacDonald thought he had an opportunity to establish the lairds’ right to settle their own disputes. If Ranald had been able to call up the army that marched to defeat at Newcastle, MacDonald would, presumably, have come in meekly when he was called upon to “answer for his breaches of the King’s peace”; or, if meekness is unbelievable in so stiff-necked a laird, he would at any rate have kept to his mountain fastnesses and defied the king to come fetch him out, rather than offer battle on his opponent’s home ground. As it was, he instead sent word that the breach of the king’s peace was an offense not found in any ancient law of Scotland, which was true, and that he was therefore innocent of wrongdoing, which was at least arguable; and that “as for me, the King his peace shall not protect those guilty of doing harm to me and mine; and if it likes not the King that it be so, let him look to the peace of his own lands!” This haughty challenge – in more modern language, “I’ll burn and pillage what I damn well like, and if you don’t approve you can get an army together to stop me” – seems to have caught Ranald by surprise, hence his lack of numbers at Harlaw. Nonetheless he had an ace up his sleeve.

Seriously, this whole thing could be more easily done by simply lowering the heat cap to 30. (I personally vote for 0.25).That's it guys. That's the solution.Big alphas? Can't possibly be any higher than current alphas, and you can't KEEP on doing them. You get one big alpha and that's it, you're sitting there cooling off from 98%. When most weapons have between 2 and 4 second cooldowns, you'll be waiting around sometimes as long as twice that time to clear the heat you just generated (if you alpha'd).. The system doesn't place weird contrived penalties on you for firing an alpha. You simply put yourself at a higher heat by the very nature of firing everything at once (as it should be), but you have the option of doing it! OMG OPTIONS!?!? !Firing in chain or group fire will allow for more DPS, because heat will be going down over a longer period of time. Meanwhile, alphas will need to cool off after every shot, lowering their DPS. You have a choice of firing your big alpha, or firing for more DPS! OMG, OPTIONS!! !If you're worried about large mechs having problems, then don't worry! More DHS means more dissipation than before! Heavy laser builds might seem nerfed, but don't forget that your DHS are clearing heat even as you fire those lasers! This means that with more DHS, you can actually regain those big alphas, if you're willing to spend the tonnage on DHS to do it. Even more options?!? !Change a few values and BOOM, DONE! Afterwards, you can balance weapons simply by raising or lowering their heat little by little. A half point here, a full point there. Or, raise / lower the dissipation by a tiny ammount. Not liking how mechs feel at 0.25? Try 0.26! It's so easy!! !Here, I'll even put together a little loadout and "boat" tester for you in a google spreadsheet. Change the values and play around a little with it. You might be surprised at what you find!
He said eventually the church would have to establish "a uniform code of discipline and of penalties" to protect the priesthood. More than four decades later, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops did just that. It created a national discipline and child protection policy after news reports and court files unsealed in 2002 showed that many bishops had moved guilty priests from assignment to assignment without notifying parents or police. Under the new plan, offenders are barred from church work or ousted from the priesthood altogether. American dioceses have paid more than $2.6 billion in abuse-related costs since 1950, according studies commissioned by the U.S. bishops. By the 1960s, Fitzgerald was losing control over the direction of the religious order, and medical and psychological professionals began working at the center — a change he had resisted. Those experts said some abusers could return to ministry. The New Mexico treatment center closed in the 1990s in the face of lawsuits over priests who had molested children while staying at the Jemez Springs site or after being treated there.

�They [the FBI] won�t share anything with us,� said a Homeland Security official. �Then they go to the White House and they accuse us of not sharing � If they can�t take it over, they want to kill it.� If nothing else, the battle over Greenquest illustrates the bureaucratic tensions that still plague the war on terror. The creation of the Homeland Security Department was supposed to put an end to such turf fights. The new department took over a diverse assortment of federal agencies that had various responsibilities for combating terrorism, including the Customs Service, the Immigration and N NEWSWEEK: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3068377/site/newsweek/ 46b The investigation into Ptech was a "train wreck" due to in-fighitng The Ptech case turned into an ugly dispute last year when company whistleblowers told Greenquest agents about their own suspicions about the firm�s owners. Sources close to the case say those same whistleblowers had first approached FBI agents, but the bureau apparently did little or nothing in response. With backing from the National Security Council, Greenquest agents then mounted a full-scale investigation that culminated in a raid on the company�s office last December. After getting wind of the Greenquest probe, the FBI stepped in and unsuccessfully tried to take control of the case. The result, sources say, has been something of a train wreck. Privately, FBI officials say Greenquest agents botched the probe and jeopardized other more promising inquiries into Al-Qadi. Greenquest agents dismiss the charges and say the problem is that the bureau was slow to respond to legitimate allegations that an outside contractor with terrorist ties may have infiltrated government computers. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3068377/site/newsweek/ 46c Why no was was arrested - potentially due to in-fighting "And as if to retaliate against what they perceive as a FBI power grab, NEWSWEEK has learned, Homeland Security officials have questioned whether FBI agents have the power to arrest terror suspects under immigration laws. In an effort to bolster the FBI�s antiterrorism powers late last year, Attorney General John Ashcroft signed a special order giving FBI agents the power to arrest suspects under federal immigration statutes. But Homeland Security lawyers now argue that Ashcroft�s order became invalid when the INS, formerly part of Justice, moved to Homeland. Under Homeland�s interpretation of the law, unless Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge issues a new order giving the FBI immigration arrest powers, any immigration busts made by the FBI today could later be deemed illegal. So far, Ridge hasn�t done so."
I know, I know, you probably think I’m mentally retarded right now. Just hear me out, okay? The biggest evidence for this is Donkey Kong himself. Now, I’m pretty sure you know by now that the original Donkey Kong is actually Cranky Kong and the Donkey Kong we all know and love is actually Donkey Kong Jr. (or Cranky Kong’s grandson). This isn’t just some stupid fanfic bullshit either. It’s official. I remember an issue of Nintendo Power from 1995 (well actually, I didn’t read it until 2006 or 2007, which is when I got it, because after all, I was born in ’93), when it was still Nintendo Of America’s official magazine. It’s also in the DKC instruction manual. Lastly, Cranky Kong alludes to this in the DKC games. The problem with this is that the original Donkey Kong has aged tremendously and has become a cranky (pun intended) old ape, while Mario has seemingly remained the same age. Why hasn’t Mario aged at all? And why wasn’t Luigi anywhere to be seen in Donkey Kong (besides the obvious “Nintendo didn’t think of him yet”)? The answer is, the original Mario has aged, and the Mario that we all know and love is not the original Mario, but is his son instead. Luigi wasn’t even born yet during the events of Donkey Kong, which would explain why he’s nowhere to be seen. The original Mario and Pauline were the parents to the Mario Bros. This would explain why Mario and Luigi were plumbers from Mario Bros. on, while the Mario from Donkey Kong was a construction worker. They also had another child… Pauline. Yes, I know you’re confused now, but let me finish. Pauline reappeared in the Nintendo DS game, Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2: March Of The Minis. Now, I have never played that game, but according to the Super Mario Wiki, the manual says they are great friends. Great enough friends to be brother and sister? I think so. Now some may say that this means Mario and Pauline broke up, but handled it well. Well, I think this is bullshit. The Pauline in this game is obviously a different Pauline than the one in Donkey Kong. Need proof? Here it is:
Image courtesy of study published today in Nature identifies new compounds to fight the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, headed by Stuart Schreiber , scoured a library of 100,000 chemical compounds for something that met the required criteria: targeting the parasite in a novel way and working during all three stages of its life (liver, blood, and transmission). These compounds were then tested on mice, and they successfully eradicated the malaria parasites during all three stages with one low dose. All of the 100,000 compounds in the library and the data from the team’s malaria screens are publicly available via the Malaria Therapeutics Response Portal (MTRP).We spoke to two members of the team from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Nobutaka Kato and Eamon Comer The malaria parasite is challenging because it has developed resistance to the standard-of-care drugs, including first-line therapies. To overcome this, antimalarials with new mechanisms are needed that are unaffected by existing resistances. Also, the majority of current drugs only target the symptomatic blood-stage parasites. Malaria parasites have liver- and transmission-stages that do not cause symptoms. Despite this, prophylaxis and transmission-blocking drugs are essential to prevent epidemics and protect vulnerable populations such as such as pregnant women and children under the age of five. Antimalarial drugs that target all stages of the malaria parasite are very much needed.We identified a series of bicyclic azetidine compounds that inhibit the malaria parasite in a new way, inhibition of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase, which blocks parasite protein synthesis. These bicylic azetidines provide single low-dose cures and work against all stages of the malaria parasite, in multiple in vivo efficacy models. While rigorous safety analysis and optimization will be needed, our findings identify compounds with the potential to cure and prevent transmission of the disease as well as protect populations at risk, all in a single oral treatment.Antimalarial drugs have thus far originated mainly from two sources – natural products and synthetic ‘drug-like’ compounds. We suspected that new antimalarial agents with new action mechanisms could be discovered using our unique collection of 100,000 Diversity Oriented Synthesis (DOS) compounds. These compounds have three-dimensional features reminiscent of natural products and are underrepresented in typical screening collections. DOS compounds that showed signs of operating through a novel mechanism in malaria phenotypic screens were prioritized for advanced studies.
NEW DELHI: The Centre is set to announce a scheme for providing free diagnostic tests, including several blood tests, x-rays and advanced CT scans, for those visiting public health facilities. Private service providers will be roped in wherever required.While the idea of providing free diagnostics has been hailed by all those aware of it, health economists and public health experts expressed concern over outsourcing the tests to the private sector, arguing that it is an “expensive and inefficient” way to provide the services.Costs of drugs and diagnostics constitute about 70% of health expenditure in India and are estimated to push 5 crore people below the poverty line (BPL) annually. The proposed ‘national strategy for providing essential diagnostics facilities free for all’ is meant for anyone visiting a public health facility — from a village health post to a district hospital.A panel of experts are learnt to have provided the government with a list of diagnostic tests considered essential for all categories of health facilities. The health ministry has also consulted some of the biggest companies in the diagnostic sector, including SRL, Dr Lal PathLabs, Quest Diagnostics, Mahajan Imaging and Star Imaging to thrash out all service provider issues.Along with reducing people’s health expenditure, the initiative is expected to help promote the diagnostics and reagents sectors, which currently have just over 20% share in the medical technology market.Under the scheme, existing diagnostic infrastructure in government institutions is to be strengthened, and where there is no infrastructure, state governments would be supported to engage with private service providers for collection of blood samples, analysis and reporting. The scheme is meant to outsource only high-cost, low-volume tests. In government facilities with inadequate personnel, the scheme will be in-sourcing personnel through contracts with the private sector. X-rays are to be sent electronically to radiology centres for proper diagnosis as most physicians are not trained to read x-ray films. The Centre will also help states to have CT scan services at district level under public-private partnerships. The shares of outsourcing and use of the government’s own facilities are expected to vary between states depending on the robustness of their health infrastructure.Health economist Sakthivel Selvaraj expressed skepticism, saying “With a slashed health budget and no allocation in the budget for the scheme, where will they find additional resources for this? Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan are already providing diagnostic facilities more efficiently without outsourcing. Why not follow that model?
Numerous federal agencies own stingrays too, including the DEA, FBI, ATF, Secret Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
By mid 1941, the Spitfire Mk I had been completely replaced by the Mk II in frontline service, however it too was already being replaced with the new “stop-gap” model, the Spitfire Mk V, based on the two previous models that once again proved to be a success in its own right. Regardless of what model, the Spitfire was universally loved by its pilots from a range of nations. The Mk I and II would go on to pave the way for a plethora of future variants, culminating in the much larger Griffon engined Spitfires that still graced the skies even at the dawn of the jet age.
George S. Patton George Smith Patton Jr. was a General of the United States Army who commanded the U.S. Seventh Army in the Mediterranean theater of World War II, and the U.S. Third Army in France and Germany following the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. 11 Sorry, can't agree with this selection. Great generals defeated foes who outnumbered them, or by employing amazing tactics. Germany was at the verge of defeat at the hands of the Russians even before D-Day. So the western Allies attacked France when much of Germany's armed forces were busy in the East. Patton therefore wasn't taking on a superior foe, but a half defeated and depleted enemy. In France the Allies had complete air superiority and harassed German ground forces incessantly. Patton had little Luftwaffe opposition. And for the most part, he was well supplied, unlike the Germans. Of course he accomplished many things and helped defeat the Nazis. But he doesn't belong on a list with Alexander the Great and Hannibal. Of course, we'll never know if he could have defeated Germany's best troops if they were well supplied, only had to do battle on one front, and had a strong Luftwaffe to support them. During the War in Africa, which ironically ended today on May 11, 1943 with the signing of the Axis surrender to the allies, was because of Patton's bold moves. Before World War II, he was involved in the tank design for the Americans towards the end of World War I. He was the reason why we had the tank division of World War II. Granted, he slapped soldiers with PTSD, (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), but he was important in defeating the Desert Fox. His use of artillery to batter the Germans was the reason for taking Africa, and he was the cause for the Axis losing so much of their supplies. This has caused many to call Patton's victories "inferior," but in actuality, it was he who caused that shortage in the first place. He also helped quench the Germans in Sicily, by making an extremely bold attack, by coming through the shore, and beating the British General Montgomery to Sicily. He then helped strike quickly and at irregular times, to help prevent the ability for the Germans to ...more Offensive in planning, attacking, and commitment. Even his logistical methods were far advanced than those he fought with or against.
Writing recently in the South Boston Tribune about the controversy, John Ciccone, director of the South Boston Information Center, said: "If new people move into a neighborhood, especially one as established and close-knit as South Boston, it is they, the newcomers, who must adapt. Long-time residents here will not change and give up their traditions such as the shamrock and others because it might somehow make a new arrival uncomfortable. And that's just the way it's going to be. Get used to it." At the Old Colony development in South Boston, a former city youth worker told the Echo that the BHA is concerned primarily with minority statistics and less with the lives of the residents who live in the developments. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, he said that shamrocks, which still adorn basketball courts and murals in the development, were symbols of pride when he was growing up there. "Even the Italian kids wore shamrocks," he said. "We had our differences, but we got along OK." "Nowadays, the kids in here would rather shoot heroin than basketballs. This place has been going downhill for years, and kids are literally dying from drugs. It's supposed to be for low-income people, but they got drug dealers from Roxbury driving fancy cars and living here. Nobody cares. It's a real sad situation, and the BHA's talking about shamrocks?"

JODHPUR: Bollywood Actor Salman Khan on Friday recorded his statement in a Jodhpur court regarding the blackbuck poaching case and said that the blackbuck had a natural death. "Only the first forensic report of Dr Nepalia saying that the animal died of "natural causes" was true and the rest of the evidence is false," Salman said.The actor was asked 60-odd questions by the Jodhpur magistrate to most of which he said "galat"The questions asked to him were a summary of the prosecution case against him and the evidence produced so far in court.Salman was standing between his lawyers from Mumbai, Anand Desai, and others. He was wearing a blue shirt and blue denims, his favourite colour for court dates.The chief judicial magistrate Dalpat Singh Rajpurohit asked the star, "You werewho said they saw you shoot the blackbuck". His said, "galat". The other questions were about the truthfulness of whether his gun was without a licence.The court said the jeep was found with blood stains and hair of the blackbucks to which Salman said "false". "You went shooting at night?" the court said. "False", said Salman Khan.The court completed recording the statement of Saif Ali Khan , too.Salman Khan and a few other Bollywood actors were accused of poaching blackbucks on the night of October 1, 1998 during the shooting of Hindi movie "Hum Saath Saath Hain".The actor was also accused of carrying and using illegal arms. A case under the Arms Act was registered against him.Earlier on January 18,by the Jodhpur court in the Arms Act case in the alleged poaching of blackbucks.The court, in its 102-page order, did not find him accused under Sections 3/25 and 3/27 of the Arms Act.Chief judicial magistrate Dalpat Singh Rajpurohit announced the ruling after having completed the hearing on January 9.Next date of hearing in Jodhpur court will be held on February 15.
Tubeless tires might be said to be the “holy grail” for cyclists when it comes to riding since the main buzz-kill for most riders is getting a flat tire. Going tubeless helps to drastically reduce the chances of getting a flat tire, and usually it works out quite well. However; there is always that story you’ve heard, or the ride you were on that was quenched by a tubeless tire puncture that would not seal up. Many times this is due to an irregularly shaped cut or tear in a tire that proves to be just too much for a sealant to overcome. Maybe it is a large hole that won’t quite seal up. Hey……it happens, right? We’ve been testing a lot of tubeless tires here over the past year or so, and as you may know, you need sealants. We’ve been testing those as well. Check out our last post on sealants here . One of those sealants is from Caffe Latex, and by the way, you can expect a long term review on their sealant coming later this Spring. In the meantime, those fine folks behind Caffe Latex have provided us with a sample of a curious little bottle of a product dubbed ZOT! Nano.ZOT! Nano, (Yes- the exclamation point is part of the product name), is an ” instant polymerization catalyzer for Caffélatex”, according to Effetto Mariposa, and its purpose is to help seal up large holes or irregularly shaped punctures that Caffe Latex may not be able to handle on its own. How big? Well, Caffe Latex is said to be rated to punctures up to 5mm in diameter, which means ZOT Nano is for even bigger punctures, so yeah…..pretty big holes! It works by inserting the needle on the top of the bottle of ZOT! Nano through the puncture into the casing, and applying the catalyst at the leak source. If your tire has liquefied Caffe Latex in it yet, the ZOT! Nano will coagulate the sealant making a solid plug from the Caffe Latex and begin to heal the puncture. Obviously, you would have to be using Caffe Latex to make use of the ZOT! Nano product, but it does bring up an interesting thought for gravel riders to consider. The ZOT! Nano bottle comes with a small, plastic holster which can be affixed to a bottle boss, or you could easily toss one of these into a saddle bag or frame pack.
We can see now how Negri at once continues, and radically departs from, operaismo's project. Panzieri and Tronti removed the possibility of thinking the relative autonomy of technical, social, or political spheres, and instead described a universal plane of capitalized production throughout the social factory. Negri continues operaismo's concern with a universal plane of production, and is not shy of showing his disdain for the neo-Gramscian thesis of the relative autonomy of the socio-political (cf. Hardt and Negri 2000: 451). At the same time, however, the essence of the social factory thesis "” the immanence of capital to all social relations "” seems to vanish, as Negri both reintroduces the orthodox separation between forces and relations of production which Panzieri had been so keen to undermine, and begins to produce a strange inversion of the neo-Gramscian thesis whereby it is the realm of production which becomes autonomous. Thus, though Negri oscillates between seeing the communist multitude in forms of work and in forms of resistance, essentially the resistance becomes nor. so much a refusal of work (for 'work' has in a sense been overcome), but an affirmation of the collective embodiment of immaterial and affective labour: 'In effect, by working, the multitude produces itself as singularity' (Hardt and Negri 2000: 395; emphasis added).40 At his extremes Negri (1989: 79) even favours labour-market deregulation (as if 'deregulation' was not always a process of intricate regulation) to enable the development of this potential, and turns away from the refusal of work in a variant of the old council communist theme of 'self-management' (cf. Hardt 1994: 227), as a 'reappropriation of the social essence of production ... to ensure an ever-richer reproduction of accumulated immaterial labor' (Negri 1996: 221).41
The Danish Poison Information Centre (DPIC) provides over‐the‐phone counselling for the general public and healthcare professionals regarding all acute poisonings. DPIC registers the number of enquiries made and the number of substances included in each case. Antidepressants (AD) and antipsychotics (AP) account for 6.3% and 4.9% calls, respectively. According to DPIC, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) were the most common AD and chlorprothixene the most common AP 1. Side effects of AD and AP overdose potentially include life‐threatening complications like hypotension, ventricular dysrhythmias or seizures 2-7. Both drugs pose a risk of QRS and QTc interval prolongation, tachycardia and hypotension 2-4, 6. AP more frequently causes QTc interval prolongation than AD, with ventricular fibrillation and torsades de pointes being two possibly fatal complications of QTc interval prolongation 8, 9. AD is shown to more commonly cause seizures than AP 5. The antidepressant overdose risk assessment (ADORA) criteria were first described in 1995 by Garrett E. Foulke 4. The criteria describe the early complications of AD overdose and include QRS interval >0.1 sec., cardiac dysrhythmias, altered mental status (Glasgow Coma Scale <14), seizures, respiratory depression (<8 breaths/min. or assisted ventilation) and hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg). The patients were evaluated upon arrival to the emergency department and within the first 6 hr. Depending on their clinical status, the patients were classified into low risk, when not showing any of the ADORA criteria or high risk when 1 or more criteria were present. The study by Foulke showed no subsequent complications among the low‐risk patients. Among the high‐risk patients, 33% had subsequent complications such as pneumonitis, atelectasis, sinusitis, systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, supraventricular or ventricular dysrhythmias, seizures and respiratory failure 4. Our aim of this retrospective investigation was to identify the proportion of patients with AD and/or AP ingestion with no adverse signs at hospital admission who later developed a need of specific intensive care treatment. Our first hypothesis was that the majority of these patients did not need intensive care treatment. Our second hypothesis was that low‐risk ADORA patients after 6 hr in the emergency department (ED) would not require intensive care treatment. For the first time, the ADORA system was evaluated in patients with antidepressant as well as antipsychotic overdose.

I've recently (separately) questioned some dubious claims by neo-luddites Rob Levine and Scott Timberg , so when the two of them get together to have a conversation, I have to admit that it almost made my head explode in seeing almost every sentence be chock full of "wrong." Let's dive in to some of it:Yes, because no one else ever shows up to fill that gap. Does Levine have no idea how culture responds to demand? Besides, this is just another line like Valenti's old "Boston Strangler" line. People who don't know or understand culture or history always blame the new technology for "killing" off the old industry. The reality -- as shown time and time again -- is that it actually enhances and grows that industry. You see it again and again. The sheet music industry insisted the player piano would kill the music business. John Philip Sousa insisted that the phonograph would kill the music industry, because with it, no one would ever learn to play music or want to hear live music again. The publishing industry insisted that the photocopier would be the end of its business model.Levine follows in a long line of people who got it wrong. People who don't understand technology or culture or trends. When technology makes things more efficient you get more of it, not less. It may change business models, but in the end it always creates greater output, greater value. Timberg, of course, doesn't challenge Levine on this bizarre assertion, but remember, Timberg is the guy who claimed our creative class is gone because no one works at record stores any more.Does Rob not know how much money YouTube is making for the smart acts that use it correctly? Ask the band OK GO where they'd be without YouTube. Ask the Gregory Brothers. For content creators that know how to use the platform (not Levine, apparently), it's a huge boost to their business. And, if the major labels shrank to the point where they can't make videos, (1) others would still make music videos and (2) YouTube is still a huge business. Levine offers no proof that without Universal Music making videos YouTube stops making money. That's because he can't. It's a blatantly ridiculous assertion.I'll just leave that one hanging for people to laugh about. I'm wondering which world Levine lives in where regulation solves uncertainty.Actually, it didn't.
As always, nobody walks away empty handed from the SHOUTcraft Invitational and disheartened players have the chance to win back their pride and an extra cash prize if they are able to rally for a glorious last-stand.This system will be on trial this invitational and we'll see how it works out. The tip-jar system will also make a return, allowing spectators to "tip" their favourite players. Last tournament over $1500 was given to players out of respect for their skills and entertaining matches. Saturday, Jan 14 10:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) and and Sunday, Jan 15 2:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
And they really turned towards him in August of ’15. That’s when you started to see those stories pop up. But they also pushed for Bernie Sanders at times too. They would go on the left and the right. It’s bipartisan.
NEW DELHI: Jewellery purchases exceeding Rs 50,000 won’t require the income tax permanent account number ( PAN ) to be provided after the government reversed an earlier notification on Friday, providing a big festive cheer for the sector and potential customers.Jewellers will also not be required to inform authorities about jewellery purchases of over Rs 50,000 after the government rescinded a notification issued on August 23.Dealers in precious metals, precious stones and other high-value goods having a turnover of over Rs 2 crore in a financial year had been notified as persons carrying on designated business and professions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act , (PMLA) 2002. This had made them reporting entities under the PMLA requiring them to intimate the relevant authorities about transactions above certain limits.The government said the notification had been rescinded because certain incongruities had been brought to its notice and a fresh notification will be issued, indicating that the sector may still come under greater watch.“The withdrawal of Rs 50,000 limit for KYC (know your customer) under PMLA is great news, as the imposition had impacted sentiment and sales to some extent,” said Sandeep Kulhalli, senior V-P, retail and marketing, Tanishq. Industry expects growth to recover after the relaxation.“With the festive season still under way, the withdrawal of the notification has raised prospects of sales recovering in the third quarter,” said Surendra Mehta, national secretary, India Bullion and Jewellers Association.“The 30% year-on-year growth that our company and the organised sector witnessed in the fiscal quarter ended June was impacted slightly, down around 5% in the second quarter, by the extension of PMLA to the gems and jewellery trade on August 23,” said Balram Garg, managing director, PC Jewellers. Earlier, like other sectors, the threshold for KYC was Rs 2 lakh. This got lowered to Rs 50,000 after the jewellery sector was brought under PMLA on August 23.“After considering various aspects of the issue, the government has decided to rescind the said notification. A separate notification after due consideration of points raised and wider stakeholder consultation in this regard shall be issued separately,” it said in a statement.The entities covered by PMLA have to maintain records of all transactions of value exceeding Rs 10 lakh, all cross-border wire transfers of more than Rs 5 lakh and all purchases and sales of immovable property of Rs 50 lakh or more.
After serving as the game driver for Runic CEO Max Schaefer while IGN's Charles Onyett interviewed him for a last-minute Torchlight 2 video preview (which will be up next week), I got to pick his brain a little on Torchlight mods, plus his thoughts on Diablo 3, Steam, and what his team at Runic might do after Torchlight 2's out of their hands and into yours.Oh gosh. I hope someone does that. I'd play it.Yeah, absolutely. I love the Diablo stuff. We are not in conflict with Blizzard. We have no part of any kerfuffle involving angry developers. We like those guys. They also had an impossible task with that game. There's no way you can fulfill people's expectations for Diablo 3.Well no, I didn't approve of a lot of decisions. But they shouldn't be making what I want, they should be making what their team is into making. You have to make things that way.Yes, otherwise they're clones, and no one is fully emotionally invested in making it, and no one's making a game they want. It's just a bad way to do it. You've got to make what you're inspired to make. These are physically and mentally challenging tasks, making these.Everyone's got their own ideas. My personal notion is that I want to infuse some of the sandbox of Minecraft into this sort of game. So there's more building and more resources, and a little less relentless monster grind. I love that about Minecraft, that you build a house, and you eventually build railways to your friends, and you do have monster fights. I'd have a little more monster involvement than that, and not just have a world of cubes, but you know, bring some of that sandbox rather than amusement park into the genre.But hybridizing it with other types of games. But yeah, I'm open. I play all kinds of things, from Words with Friends to, whatever. I'm gonna crack out Borderlands as soon as I can.I love the loot. Who doesn't like loot? But I've gotta catch up on a lot of things. The last few months I haven't played anything.Sort of. It's funny: people say "Why are you releasing right when Borderlands 2 is? That doesn't make a damn bit of sense." But Borderlands 1 released within a week of Torchlight 1, so I think we're just on synchronized schedules.Yeah. We're very, very much, probably more than anyone, a Steam-based company at this point.
smirkingbenevolence: genderbitch: educationforliberation: because i see it’s time to break out this post again………. sigh so-treu: first off, note-a-bear has a great post on how those dreadlocks that the Celts were supposedly wearing actually weren’t dreadlocks as we define them today. that’s when shit like historical context and knowing of what the fuck you speak come into play. but here’s the thing. the Celts were a really long fucking time ago. and it was one ethnic group amongst MANY of ancient Europe. now, i don’t do Ancient European Shit so i’ll leave it to someone who does to be a bit more detailed but at the end of the day, if you as a descendent of Europeans (i.e. if you as a WHITE PERSON) can only name ONE. ethnic group. that you are more than likely not directly descended from? that invalidates your argument that dreads/tats/body mod was a European “thing.” Just because ONE group of Europeans at one point did it, does not make it a part of the culture. conversely, how many ethnic groups in Africa practice scarring, or piercing, or tattooing, or wear dreadlocks? How many indigenous groups in the Americas? In the Pacific Islands? hint: WAY more than just ONE. a SHIT ton. more than europeans ever did. thusly, dreads/tats/mods is NOT a european cultural tradition. it’s just not. repeatedly referencing the exception to the rule does not make the exception the rule. it just makes you an supremacist, appropriating jackass. who’s also a piss poor historian. like, if dreads/tats/body mods really was a European thing, wouldn’t we have seen MORE of that shit? like, wouldn’t maybe early modern Europeans at the least still be into it? but no. you don’t see dreads/tats in Renaissance artwork, you don’t see it being worn by King Henry or some shit, you don’t see any baroque-era symphonies with “tattoo” in the title or some shit………like, throughout the cultural products that modern europe has put forth since rome fell, dreads/tats/mods are nowhere to be found, and that would be the place that they would be found. but you know when europeans did start writing about tats? when they starting going to places where brown and black people lived. and there’s a long history behind tattoos and colonization specifically that i’m not going to rehash here, but what do you think made tattoos taboo in western society to begin with?
There was, in particular, one segment known as the Ebionites, or the Poor Men, who recreated in detail in their own literature, the doctrines, teachings, and discipline of the Essene communities. Actually, the three Synoptic Gospels, and especially Luke, are studded with statements in complete harmony with the cultic teachings, as is the so-called Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew. The more we study the Dead Sea Scrolls and the early canonical Christian Scriptures, the more striking are the parallels which become evident. We have already noted that two important Essene documents were widely accepted by the early Christian converts as genuine scriptures of their own. Perhaps these converts had previously been Essenes. The Great Discovery In 1947, an event of world-shaking significance occurred. An Arab shepherd-boy, following a stray goat, entered an aperture on the side of a cliff and stumbled into a cave where the Essenes had secreted a number of jars containing scrolls. However, few of these were intact; most had been broken, and their contents scattered about the floor, much of the material torn into shreds. Obviously, the caves had been invaded, perhaps several times, with damage which cannot easily be assessed. However, after the Arabs had recovered two virtually complete manuscripts of Isaiah, a copy of the Manual of Discipline, The Thanksgiving Pslams, The Habkkuk Commentary, the Damascus Document, and the War scroll, they sold these to a group in New York; and, in a short time, they were made available to the world in translations by Millar Burrows, Dupont-Sommer, Gaza Vermes, and Theodore Gaster. Many More Scrolls Discovered Then began an archeological search without parallel in religious history. One expedition after another went to the Dead Sea area in search of more scrolls. One team was headed by Millar Burrows, who states in his Dead Sea Scrolls that material sufficient to fill three large volumes was found in a single cave, cave four in which two-thirds was original Essene scripture and the remainder consisted of Jewish canonical books. After these were placed in the Jordanian Museum in Jerusalem, an international team of eight scholars were selected to collect, piece together, and prepare for publication this incomparable treasure of source-material; of these, four were Roman Catholics; three had Protestant affiliations; and only one, John Marco Allegro, was without personal religious commitment.
For example:9.62.6: The beautiful plant beloved of the gods, [the Soma] washed in the waters, pressed by the masters, the cows season [it] with milk (Wasson 1968: 28).9.109.17: The prize-winning Soma has flowed, in a thousand drops cleansed by the waters, mixed with the milk of cows (Wasson 1968: 28).9.2.5: The ocean [of Soma] has been cleansed in the waters; mainstay of the sky, the Soma in the filtre, he who is favourable to us (Wasson 1968: 47).The focus on cleansing and purifying Soma through pressing and straining would suggest that Soma is not pressed for the sake of rendering it in a consumable form, as seems to be assumed by Brough, Flattery and others, but rather for eliminating impurities and/or toxic qualities that would otherwise be present in the Soma plant. While Wasson was unable to explain the significance of the second filter as applied to Amanita muscaria, this study seeks to illustrate how this step may provide further support for his theory.The third filter, as proposed by Wasson, is the human body. Wasson advanced his proposition for the third filter by citing the traditions of urine drinking in Siberia and by relying on limited Vedic references to urine, including the following passages from the Rig Veda:9.74.4: The swollen men piss the flowing [Soma] (Wasson 1968: 29).8.80.3: In the belly of Indra the inebriating Soma clarifies itself (Wasson 1968: 56).Wasson went on to explain that "the Soma juice that is drunk by 'Indra' and 'Vayu' in the course of the liturgy is filtered in their organisms and issues forth as sparkling yellow urine, retaining its inebriating virtue but having been purged of its nauseating properties" (Wasson 1968: 55). From a pharmacological perspective Wasson may indeed be correct. While ibotenic acid, one of the mushrooms active constituents, passes in the urine unmetabolized, it is likely that other components of Amanita muscaria that contribute to nausea and vomiting, such as muscarine, have been metabolized (filtered) into inactive by-products. This biological process would leave a fairly pure extraction of ibotenic acid in the consumer's urine. Unfortunately, there were an insufficient number of anecdotal reports on urine consumption to provide a proper analysis of the third filter in Wasson's theory.Pharmacology aside, Wasson's assertion that the third filter is the human body and that mushroom-infused urine is the purest form of Soma has been challenged on two substantial grounds.
In the many years of Knotty Boy, we have learned that it is nearly impossible to nail down any kind of exact account of the history of dreadlocks. Because of this extreme variance in these different accounts, Knotty Boy has chosen to include documentation written by a variety of authors to give an overview of dreadlock origin and history. The views expressed in the following articles are not necessarily those of Knotty Boy. Please contact the authors directly with your questions or comments about their articles. Thanks! The History of Dreadlocks BY KNOTTY EMX BY KNOTTY EMX The following blog excerpt contains an overview of the history of dreadlocks by Knotty EmX. Reprinted with permission. The first known examples of the hairstyle date back to ancient Egypt, where dreadlocks appeared on Egyptian artifacts. Mummified remains of ancient Egyptians with dreadlocks have even been recovered from archaeological sites. The Old Testament also recounts the tale of Samson and Delilah in which a man's potency is directly linked to 'the seven locks on his head' and according to Roman accounts, the Celts were described to have 'hair like snakes' Germanic tribes, Greeks and the Vikings are all said to have worn dreadlocks too. Rastafarianism however is something entirely separate. It was born in the 1930s when Ras Tafari was crowned emperor of Ethiopia. When the emperor was forced into exile during an invasion, guerrilla warriors swore not to cut their hair until the emperor was reinstated. The religion resonated with the ideologies of the day, for example socialism, Marxism, nationalism and black power. It was therefore, seen as a threat to Christianity and came under attack by the authorities that tried to suppress the 'Rasta' movement and imprisoned those who possessed 'ganja'. Rastafarians smoked cannabis because they thought it prompted a clearer state of well - being. Their dreadlocks were thought to be disgusting and frightening, hence the term 'dread' which was later reclaimed by the 'Rasta' community. The hairstyle was later brought into mainstream culture through the worldwide success of reggae artist Bob Marley. Sporting locks himself, he prompted an international interest in the style, and the anti establishment philosophy of Rastafarian culture. Dreadlocks became increasingly popular and there are many reasons in various cultures for wearing them. They can be an expression of deep religious or spiritual convictions, a manifestation of ethnic pride. They can make a political statement, or simply be a fashion preference.
McMath's own account, Promises Kept, ISBN 1-55728-754-6 (University of Arkansas Press, 2003) contains a wealth of primary source material including, in addition to the author's personal recollections, photocopies of correspondence exchanged between him and President Truman and others. Citations in the Appendix refer readers interested in the details of some of McMath's more significant cases to state and federal appellate court reporters and to law review case notes and articles. However, due to their sheer number, many cases are not cited and some citations contain typographical errors. Online and back-issue index searches of Arkansas Reports, Southwestern Reporter, Federal Reports, Federal Supplement, the ATLA Law Reporter (formerly the NACCA Law Journal), TRIAL magazine, Matthew Bender's Art of Advocacy series (particularly Baldwin, "The Art of Direct Examination"), the Arkansas Law Review, UALR Law Review, Inside Litigation, Westlaw and Lexis would assist the reader in developing a more complete list of McMath's cases, their correct citations, and commentary. Indeed, one could trace the development of the American common law of torts over the second half of the 20th century with a chronological analysis of reported (or law-reviewed) cases in which the plaintiff was represented by McMath or a member of his firm. A rich source of historical and trial practice commentary would be the video archives of the School of Trial and Appellate Advocacy, Hastings College of the Law, University of California, San Francisco, the nation's earliest sustained CLE program and the model for many that followed, which McMath and Woods were instrumental in founding and on whose visiting faculty they or members of their firm served from its inception in 1971 until its closure in 2001.
What the Right – and especially the neocons – drew from these experiences was that the Washington press corps could be tough when contesting some narrow falsehood or a slight hypocrisy, but would ignore audacious misrepresentations, at least when they came from Republicans backed by aggressive right-wing media attack groups. Bush has proved to be a master of this technique because he shows even fewer scrupples than the average politician in making claims that are at clear variance with the truth. For instance, in his last two addresses to the United Nations General Assembly, Bush has hailed the U.N.’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights although its tenets are in contradiction of his claims that he can kill, kidnap, detain, torture and spy on anyone of his choosing anywhere in the world. Nevertheless, Bush displayed a well-founded confidence that the U.S. press corps wouldn’t challenge him on these obvious hypocrisies – and he was right. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “Bush to World: Up Is Down.”] Indeed, one of the most successful features of Bush’s presidency may be his ability to exploit cognitive dissonance to avoid accountability for his actions. While Bush doesn’t blush when his actions belie his words, the American political system can’t seem to cope, incapable of either reconciling Bush’s dishonesty or enforcing any accountability upon him. The national press corps and other Washington institutions – like the emperor’s subjects in the old fable – try as best they can to ignore the obvious.

He would shrug his shoulders and say, “The hell with it!”—about success and failure alike.
Likewise, on more personal matters, such as what else he was up to in his awol years, he's evasive: "Just traveling—going around, jumping in and out, and up and down." He doesn't flinch when I broach the subject of his hunched posture and neck brace, but it's clear he doesn't want to break out the M.R.I. 's, either. "I fell off a cliff," he says. "I was walking in my yard in Beverly Hills, missed my footing, and started doing flips. But you know what? I had a plate of food in my hand. And when I landed, I still had a plate of food in my hand. That's the God-lovin' truth. I did not drop a bean." But when I ask Stone to describe the new songs, he straightens up, rocks forward in his seat, and starts rhyming in an insistent cadence somewhere between a preacher's and a rapper's, the rasp suddenly gone from his otherwise low, throaty speaking voice. "There's one that says, 'Ever get a chance to put your thanks on? / Somebody you know you can bank on? / Even sometimes you might embarrass them by pulling rank on? / Now, whatcha gonna do when you run out of them? … Another holiday, you're drunk and curbing it / You can't face a noun, so you're straight adverbing it / You had an argument at home, and you had to have the last word in it / Now whatcha gonna do when you run out of them?' "There's one that's called 'We're Sick Like That,'" he continues. "It says, 'Give a boy a flag and teach him to salute / Give the same boy a gun and teach him how to shoot / And then one night, the boy in the bushes, he starts to cry / 'Cause nobody ever really taught him how to die.'" The obvious allusion to the current war jars me, and I soon realize why: Stone has been absent from the scene for such a duration that it's hard to imagine that he was with us all along, experiencing all the things we experienced over the years—the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the Soviet Union, Nelson Mandela's release from prison, the rise of the World Wide Web, the attacks on 9/11, the invasion of Iraq. It's almost as if he went into a decades-long deep freeze, like Austin Powers or the astronauts in Planet of the Apes.
It is highly frustrating and clearly does not lead to a favourable view about India’s potential,” a CEO with a leading company said, requesting anonymity. Mercedes’ Folger said that lack of clarity hurts the planning process of companies badly. “The constant shift in policy makes our long-term planning for the market highly risky, and we think this would only have an adverse impact on the country's financial ratings.”
Forcillo remains out on bail due to what Toronto defence lawyer Reid Rusonik suggests was a clever bit of legal maneuvering on defence lawyer Peter Brauti’s part. Since the abuse-of-process application is being brought, the trial has not been completed. If it had and a conviction was entered, Forcillo’s bail would have been automatically revoked and he would have had to go into custody. With the abuse-of-process application and sentencing hearing occurring in May, Forcillo will probably remain on bail until the judge’s final decision. If the officer is sentenced, he can then immediately apply for bail pending appeal. During the trial, Forcillo argued his use of lethal force as a police officer arresting someone committing an illegal act was justified because he had reasonable grounds to believe his life and the lives of others were at risk. The jury heard testimony about Yatim’s appearance and behaviour before and after he got on the westbound Dundas streetcar. Passenger Bridgette McGregor told the jury Yatim slashed his knife at her neck — although he did not injure her — and the episode sparked the panicked exodus of passengers. “I need people to know Yatim was dangerous,” she said. “He was going to kill me.” Witnesses described Yatim’s erratic behaviour. He exposed himself as he walked behind fleeing passengers, knife in hand. The TTC driver testified he had a conversation with Yatim, in which the teen asked for a phone to call his father. But the judge warned the jury that evidence from before Forcillo arrived at the scene could only be used as context for the following 50-second confrontation, not to establish Yatim’s state of mind at the time he was shot. The jury could use it to consider whether Yatim was in a state of crisis, and, as the judge added, to provide some circumstantial evidence of his facial expressions and body language that might help the jury in assessing what Forcillo said he observed Yatim doing later. Characterizing the step Yatim took before he was shot was a key issue during the trial. Seconds before, Forcillo had issued an ultimatum to Yatim: “Come a step closer and I’ll shoot!” The Crown repeatedly argued the step was a slow movement forward of 50 centimetres, taking Yatim back to a spot on the streetcar where he’d been standing moments before, not a lunge or charge.
Collectively, these data suggest possible bidirectional interactions between CB 1 R- and 5-HT 2A R-mediated pharmacological responses, although a cellular mechanism for this cross talk has yet to be discovered. Here we sought to understand at what level the interactions of these two systems occur. Using a variety of in vivo and in vitro assays, we reveal a new molecular mechanism by which the cognitive deficits of THC can be dissociated from its beneficial antinociceptive properties.

While our spaceflight missions come to fruition in the heavens, they all have to start here on Earth. The next year in space will see a lot of changes, as new technologies get tested and exciting missions get going. National space agencies and, increasingly, private companies are preparing for their next adventures in space. There will also be great celestial phenomena to enjoy and, very likely, a number of unexpected surprises cropping up. To help prepare for it all, we take a look at what next year holds for spaceflight. NASA's Challenges Last year wasn’t a particularly great one for the agency. Yes, it accomplished many great things, including scientific exploration of Mars, Saturn, other planets, and even the outer reaches of the solar system. But the agency has also been struggling for a while to find a sense of direction and is looking to make do with budgets that have flat-lined. The effects of the sequester and a government shutdown have further eroded its ability to execute all the impressive missions on its plate. Last month, the NASA Office of the Inspector General, which checks on and audits funding for the agency, released a report on the top nine challenges facing NASA this year. These included deciding whether or not to extend the lifetime of the International Space Station – which is scheduled for retirement in 2020 – for eight additional years. Many researchers would like to continue using the ISS but NASA might like to use that money to start supporting different projects. Other major challenges include securing a method to transport its astronauts to the ISS. NASA currently relies on Russian launch vehicles, which are expensive and subject to the increasingly frosty international relationship between the U.S. and Russia. The agency is looking forward to the debut test flight of Orion, its new manned spacecraft (seen above), in September but human crews wouldn’t board the vehicle until after 2020. A domestic rocket company, such as SpaceX, might be a cheaper and better alternative. The OIG also wants NASA to make sure it has the costs and scheduling of the James Webb Space Telescope under control, a project that has run billions over budget and is set to launch in 2018. In 2013, NASA released a plan to capture an asteroid and bring it back to Earth, perhaps sending astronauts to explore its surface at some future date.
She says that caring for him that last year, when he was ill and “needed someone to help him out of life, and I needed someone to force me to live in the present,” had actually helped her “expiate the pain of my old terrors”—the terrors of caring for her mother when she was too young to understand or cope. Steinem has compared marriage to slavery law in this country. As a young woman, she fled one brief, ill-advised engagement. And, in her early forties, she amiably dissolved a second, to Robert Benton, who went on to write and direct “Kramer vs. Kramer.” “Neither of us was really sure we wanted to marry, so we took it in steps. The first was to do the blood tests and get the license. We did. The second was for him to buy the new suit. He did. The third was for me to buy the dress. I never got to the dress, I just couldn’t do it, and the marriage license expired.” Four years after David Bale died, a reporter from Pakistan asked Steinem why she had changed her mind about marriage. “I didn’t change,” she told him. “Marriage changed. We spent thirty years in the United States changing the marriage laws. If I had married when I was supposed to get married, I would have lost my name, my legal residence, my credit rating, many of my civil rights. That’s not true anymore. It’s possible to make an equal marriage.”
Big tilt Perchlorates might be controlling the amount of water vapour in the midday atmosphere, according to separate evidence presented by Dr Troy Hudson of JPL. And their presence might also explain why neither Phoenix nor the 1970s Viking landers found any firm evidence for "organics" - molecular compounds which contain carbon (though excluding carbonates for historic reasons). These molecules are a crucial component in the search for possible biology on the Red Planet. "The perchlorates, as you heat them in the oven (onboard Phoenix), release their oxygen and combust the organics," Peter Smith, the mission's chief scientist, told the conference. "It's ironic: the two compete as you heat them. We did see CO2 release, but we're not sure whether that was from organics or not." Professor Smith said several lines of evidence pointed to the past action of liquid water on the northern plains. These included the presence of aqueous minerals, cloddy, cemented soil and the discovery that some of the ice was "segregated", as if it had melted. "It's probable that in a warmer, wetter climate, as when the obliquity (the extent to which Mars is tilted on its axis) changes, this could be a place where liquid water is found. That doesn't mean it's a lake. It just means that the soil is wet," Professor Smith, from the University of Arizona, explained. Dr Nilton Renno thinks he has seen evidence of salty liquid-water droplets
Most people have no idea that the Bible talks about two kinds of Sabbath days (1) the normal weekly Sabbath day that falls on the seventh day of the week (not to be confused with Sunday - which is the first day of the week), (2) and seven annual Sabbath days, listed in Leviticus 23 and mentioned in various passages throughout the Bible that could fall on any day of the week. Thus here we have... The Passover Sabbath and then the normal Shabbat or Sabbath day! Yeshua rose on the first day of a new week which is the eighth day (if Saturday is the seventh day then Sunday must be the eighth day). In other words, we do believe that (Yeshua) Jesus rose on the third day ... the third day after he was in the grave three days and three nights ...and the third day was when He rose from the dead. It wasnt eight days... but from another standpoint, even a biblical stand point; He was the FIRSTFRUITS, firstborn of a new creation... figuratively the eighth day but literally the first... thats referred to in the Bible as a "new beginning." Other examples of significance of eight... When the whole earth was covered with the flood, it was Noah "the eighth person" (2 Peter 2:5) who stepped out on to a new earth to commence a new order of things. "Eight souls" (1 Peter 3:20 ) passed through to the new or re-generated world. Hence, too, circumcision was to be performed on the "eighth day" (Genesis 17:12 ), because it was the fore-shadowing of the true circumcision of the heart, that which was to be "made without hands," even "the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ" (Colossians 2:11 ). This is connected with the new creation. The first-born was to be given to Jehovah on the "eighth day" (Exodus 22: 29 , 30) and the Resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus) is ultimately signified when He rose from the dead on "the first day of the week," (Mark 16:9) that was of necessity the "eighth day."
SLIEMA, Malta — A pudgy, graying middle-aged man in a brown sweater vest sat quietly sipping tea in the hotel lobby. If you noticed him at all, you might have thought he was a businessman, or an engineer, maybe a mid-ranking civil servant. He frowned occasionally as he contemplated the messages on his smartphone. He allowed a smile as two men approached. They greeted each other as old friends, exchanging embraces, asking after relatives. One of the men complained a little about the state of business in the region, and warned he might have to head off at some point: “My daughter has a ballet recital.” The entourage moved to a darkly lit corner of the hotel, their voices dropping, sometimes to a whisper. They looked up with paranoid glares each time a waiter or hotel guest walked by. The three men knew they could never be too careful. The newcomers were retired colleagues; the first, a balding man in his sixties, works for a charity that helps African migrants in Libya; the second, in his late forties, is a real estate developer, dividing his time between the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and Europe. But this was no workaday meeting of middle-aged businessmen. The three men are operatives from one of the most feared institutions in the Middle East: Libya’s mukhabarat, or intelligence agency. Formed shortly after the Second World War, the mukhabarat has worked behind the scenes to monitor and manipulate Libya for decades. And they have now joined the war against ISIS, as well as al-Qaeda and loyalists to the former regime of Muammar al-Qaddafi. They have made many, many enemies over the years. “Extremists are extremists,” said the man in the sweater vest, a senior ranking official of the agency’s counter-terrorism division. “It doesn’t matter if they’re government militias, ISIS, or Qaddafi loyalists. In my focus, I target them all. Political extremists are all the same. And I want stability.” Faced with the rising threat of ISIS, authorities in Tripoli have allowed the country’s dilapidated professional spy service to reassemble. In the last 18 months, the mukhabarat has begun to tighten its grip on security matters across much of the country. It has grown to much of its capacity under Qaddafi and is conducting investigations, running operations, and re-establishing ties with foreign intelligence agencies, including those of the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Italy, France, Malta, Spain, Turkey, Tunisia, Austria, Serbia, Jordan, and Morocco.
I've always been intrigued by the idea of network-connected smart lights. A year or so ago I tried out Belkin's WEMO system with a starter pack of two bulbs and a bridge. Unfortunately I ended up returning them after a few days because I had so many issues with them. They would lose connection with each other frequently, I would need to repair the devices with my network, and one bulb eventually refused to turn on at all. Perhaps I just received a rare defective product. Regardless, I was hesitant to try Smart Lights again. Of course, I've read lots of great reviews and feedback on the Philips Hue system, so when the light strip starter kit was on sale I figured I'd try them out. I could not believe how hassle-free setup was! Literally all I had to do was plug everything in and press a button. The system connected to the Hue app on my Android phone right away, and within minutes I was tinkering with different color schemes. Speaking of apps, the official Philips app leaves a little to be desired. Thankfully, Philips has left the system open for programmers to tinker with, and there are a number of great free and paid apps available to give you greater control. The online service If This Then That (IFTT) adds a lot of great functions to Hue as well. For example, there's a setting on IFTT that will change the color of the lights to match the cover of the album you're listening to. Adding new bulbs to the system has been a breeze. It's just been a matter of hooking the bulb up to a lamp, turning it on, and pressing a button on the bridge. If you have Amazon Echo, you can turn the lights on and off by voice. You can even rename the lights (for example, Desktop Lamp instead of Light 1) and Echo will recognize it. These light strips work great as accent lights. You won't be lighting your whole room with them, but they look great under countertops or along baseboards! The strips are lined with one long piece of tape so they will stick where you want them to. A word of warning: the Hue system is a rabbit hole. Once you get one light, you'll want to fill your home with them! This can get rather expensive!
Section 1 stipulated that “the Council of Ministers may cancel the Iraqi nationality of the Iraqi Jew who willingly desires to leave Iraq,” a decree singling out Jews.The first Nationality Code, Article 10(4), promulgated by Egypt on May 26, 1926, established that a person born in Egypt of a "foreign" father was entitled to Egyptian nationality only if the foreign father “belonged racially to the majority of the population of a country whose language is Arabic or whose religion is Islam.” The requirement operated against Jews in Egypt, a great proportion of whom could therefore not acquire Egyptian nationality. Later, during the fifties, having failed to become "Egyptian," this provision served as the official pretext for expelling many Jews from Egypt.On Aug 8th 1962, the Council of Ministers announced a Royal Decree which provided that a Libyan national forfeited his nationality if he had had any contact with Zionism, defined as any person deemed to have acted “morally or materially in favor of Israel interests." The vague language enabled the authorities to deprive Jews of Libyan nationality at will. It is true that many Jews displaced from Arab countries did immigrate to Israel to fulfill the Zionist dream of returning to the ancient homeland of the Jewish people. However, Ashrawi ignores the fact that of the estimated 856,000 Jews displaced from Arab countries, some two-thirds emigrated to Israel, while roughly one-third - or 285,000 Jews - sought a safe haven in countries other than Israel. Zionism played no role in their departure and many would have preferred to stay.Jews have lived in North Africa, the Middle East and the Gulf Region for over 2,500 years – 1,000 years before the birth of Islam. In the twentieth century, all were caught in a "push-pull" scenario. Due to longstanding and mounting persecution, Jews in most Arab countries realized that there was no long term future for them and their families in their countries of birth - the push theory. In deciding where to go, for many, the pull theory was paramount - resettle in the Jewish homeland in Israel. However, whether Jews displaced from Arab countries resettled in Israel or elsewhere, they were still considered by the UNHCR, under international law, to be refugees.Asrawi is being disingenuous in expressing the hope that Jews would be allowed to return to Arab countries.
Joan Callamezzo (Mo Collins) is the hostess of Pawnee Today, a local news magazine/talk show that combines elements of NBC's Today show and news shows like Nancy Grace. [85][184] She often serves as a parody of the media in her tendency to turn small matters into big stories and her desire to find the most negative possible aspects of any given story. [nb 3] Joan refers to herself as a "legendary newswoman" and is more intimidating than other members of the Pawnee media, as Leslie declares that she "runs this town". [181][186] However, Leslie also has a tendency of taking over Joan's show when she appears on it and discussing whatever she wants. [176] In "Christmas Scandal", Leslie appeared on Pawnee Today to refute accusations that she was having an affair with Councilman Bill Dexhart. When Dexhart himself appeared on the show and offered proof of the affair by claiming Leslie has a mole on her buttock, Leslie pulled her pants down on the show to prove him wrong. Upon realizing Leslie has no mole, Joan called Dexhart's lies about Leslie "No mole-gate", named after the Watergate scandal. [93][94] In "Media Blitz", Leslie and Ben appeared on Pawnee Today to combat rumors that he was going to bankrupt the town due to his past as a failed teen mayor. Ben was bombarded with angry callers and labeled a "human disaster" on the show's subtitles. [181][186] Joan reappeared in "Harvest Festival", where she was determined to find a problem with the festival Leslie organized. Initially disappointed to find no problems, she eventually learned about a supposed Indian curse placed upon the harvest festival by a local Pawnee tribe, which she turned into a major scandalous story. [60][159] In later episodes, Joan has gone through an ugly divorce and become an alcoholic; when Ron Swanson appears on her show, she has just returned from a "singles cruise" and simply passes out during their taping, leading Ron to take over as host and do such a great job that the on-camera graphics show the episode as "You're on With Ron".

Chapter Five The Thought-Factor in Achievement All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts. In a justly ordered universe, where loss of equipoise would mean total destruction, individual responsibility must be absolute. A man's weakness and strength, purity and impurity, are his own, and not another man's. They are brought about by himself, and not by another; and they can only be altered by himself, never by another. His condition is also his own, and not another man's. His suffering and his happiness are evolved from within. As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains. A strong man cannot help a weaker unless the weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must become strong of himself. He must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition. It has been usual for men to think and to say, "Many men are slaves because one is an oppressor; let us hate the oppressor." Now, however, there is among an increasing few a tendency to reverse this judgment, and to say, "One man is an oppressor because many are slaves; let us despise the slaves." The truth is that oppressor and slave are cooperators in ignorance, and, while seeming to afflict each other, are in reality afflicting themselves. A perfect Knowledge perceives the action of law in the weakness of the oppressed and the misapplied power of the oppressor. A perfect Love, seeing the suffering which both states entail, condemns neither. A perfect Compassion embraces both oppressor and oppressed. He who has conquered weakness, and has put away all selfish thoughts, belongs neither to oppressor nor oppressed. He is free. A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can only remain weak, and abject, and miserable by refusing to lift up his thoughts. Before a man can achieve anything, even in worldly things, he must lift his thoughts above slavish animal indulgence. He may not, in order to succeed, give up all animality and selfishness, by any means; but a portion of it must, at least, be sacrificed. A man whose first thought is bestial indulgence could neither think clearly nor plan methodically. He could not find and develop his latent resources, and would fail in any undertaking.
More, who has seen almost two to three generations blossoming from adolescence to adulthood in front of his eyes, says that the skewed sex ratio and a rise in unmarried males were the driving force to allow inter-caste marriages, with the exception of marital ties in the same gotra. The sex ratio of Haryana stands at an abysmal 879 (females per 1,000 males) versus the national average of 943, according to Census 2011 data.A skewed sex ratio is what demographers call a ‘male marriage squeeze’, implying a shortage of brides and hence an excess of bachelors in the society. North and north-western states of India have been described as the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ by author Phillip Oldenburg . In Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Rajasthan, 76% of males between the ages of 20 and 24 were unmarried in comparison with 34% unmarried females, as per Census 2011 data.Some khap panchayats have, however, opposed the decision taken at the mahakhap. Jats and other communities across the country prohibit same-gotra marriages, which acts as a check against inbreeding and is a practice dating back to many centuries. “Even scientifically it has been proved that same-gotra marriages are not good for the progeny,” says Manohar Lal, chief minister of Haryana (see “Law is one Thing, and Culture Quite Another”).Start any conversation, and bhaichara [brotherhood] emerges as the glue that binds all social transactions in these close-knit communities, which are invariably dominated by the male elders.Many of the disputes, khap heads and villagers contend, are solved through bhaichara.“Even the most intractable disputes involving two families or factions are resolved amicably by bhaichara,” More says animatedly.Remind him of a study commissioned by the National Commission for Women , which reported 600 people as having been victim to honour killings between 2005 and 2010, and More counters vehemently:“Khaps never rule for killing anyone. We follow the rule of the land.”Yogendra Yadav, a former Aam Aadmi Party member and political analyst , who hails from Bhiwani district of Haryana and grew up in Hissar, feels one must first understand khaps as a social entity. “There is no social group in the country which does not have caste or community… And one of the functions the group performs is to solve interpersonal conflicts.Not every social issue must end up in a court of law. However, a line must be drawn when it comes to the law of the land.

Photos: Searching for history at Camp Lawton Photos: Searching for history at Camp Lawton Searching for history at Camp Lawton – Lance Greene, an assistant professor at Georgia Southern University, looks over sediment being sifted by students Heather McNamee, left, and Victoria Simpson during an excavation at the site of Camp Lawton, a large Civil War prison built just north of Millen, Georgia. Greene says the archaeological effort is aimed, in part, at trying to learn more about the grouping and ethnicity of Union prisoners who were housed there in late 1864.

^ K9788 (the 2nd production Spitfire) was delivered to Martlesham Heath for trials on 19 July 1938, followed by the first production Spitfire, K9787 on 27 July: K9789 was the first to enter squadron service on 4 August. [20] (the 2nd production Spitfire) was delivered to Martlesham Heath for trials on 19 July 1938, followed by the first production Spitfire,on 27 July:was the first to enter squadron service on 4 August. ^ [26] Before this change pilots had to pump the undercarriage up with their right hand while simultaneously trying to keep the Spitfire controlled using the left hand on the control column. This often led to a condition known as "Spitfire knuckle" where pilots skinned their hand on the side of the cockpit while pumping. ^ [27] Frame 11 is the double thickness fuselage frame at the rear of the cockpit on which the pilot's seat and, from mid-1940, back and head armour was mounted. ^ [33] One major problem which became apparent when the Spitfire encountered German fighters was the Merlin sometimes cut out "bunting" into a dive due to the carburettor design – see Rolls-Royce Merlin#Carburettor developments and Supermarine Spitfire#Carburettor versus fuel injection . Early Spitfires were at a disadvantage against Bf 109s which, with their direct fuel injection , could push straight into a dive. Spitfire pilots would have to half roll into a dive, pulling the control column back to apply "positive G", then roll back out again, by which time the Bf 109 was often long gone. ^ [42] [43] Combat experience had shown that fabric covered ailerons seemed to lock solid in high speed dives: this was caused by the fabric "ballooning" which, in turn, increased the control column forces needed to move them. Supermarine quickly produced a set of ailerons covered with light alloy and, in November 1940, these were fitted to a trial Mk I. Pilots reported a considerable improvement in handling at high speeds. RAF Fighter Command ordered a crash programme to have all front line Mk Is and Mk IIs fitted. However, Spitfires were still being delivered with fabric covered ailerons in June 1941. Douglas Bader had the Spitfires of his Wing fitted with the new ailerons after contacting the factory directly. Since his airfield was so close to the factory he arranged for the fighters to fly to the factory airfield and be refitted one at a time. ^ Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
There were four other walkoff home runs at The Corner in Detroit and Gold Gloves and line drive base hits to start games for the Tigers. There was also September 13, 1995, when he and Trammell played their 1,915th game together to set a record. To punctuate that historic moment, Sweet Lou turned on a fastball in the bottom of the ninth and delivered a three-run, walkoff home run to beat the Brewers, game-winner just like his first homer. That was his final hit in the big leagues and less than three weeks later he played his last game.
“When you see a marketing campaign that’s geared towards a social cause from a private company that exists to sell hamburgers or cereal or whatever, you always have to be a little skeptical,” Zara says. He compares equality campaigns to the pink ribbons used to raise breast cancer awareness. “That’s a very successful campaign, but it’s come under a lot of criticism from advocates who say it’s being subverted by companies that take much of the profits and put them into their own pockets. As consumers, we should strive to be more aware of what’s behind the campaign and the motivation behind it.” Which, theoretically, would make the cause itself more authentic.For Todd Sears of Out Leadership, global standards of equality are a matter of making LGBT acceptance a nonnegotiable part of foreign governments’ infrastructure. He likens equality to building codes: “It’s good for safety to have OSHA regulations, right? If a company is going to build a new headquarters in India, they want to make sure the government actually has regulations on the building because businesses care about the safety of their employees and the longevity of their business. It’s no different — just as you had to have building codes up to speed, you have to have LGBT inclusion up to speed.” This also implies that American corporations must be prepared to invest heavily in communities abroad. And because the tide of history is inexorable and uprooting, these companies must also be prepared to weather some storms.
The city test simulates urban driving in stop-and-go traffic with an average speed of 34 km/h and a top speed of 90 km/h. The test runs for approximately 31 minutes and includes 23 stops. The test begins from a cold engine start, which is similar to starting a vehicle after it has been parked overnight during the summer. The final phase of the test repeats the first eight minutes of the cycle but with a hot engine start. This simulates restarting a vehicle after it has been warmed up, driven and then stopped for a short time. Over five minutes of test time are spent idling, to represent waiting at traffic lights. The ambient temperature of the test cell starts at 20 °C and ends at 30 °C. The highway test simulates a mixture of open highway and rural road driving, with an average speed of 78 km/h and a top speed of 97 km/h. The test runs for approximately 13 minutes and does not include any stops. The test begins from a hot engine start. The ambient temperature of the test cell starts at 20 °C and ends at 30 °C. In the cold temperature operation test, the same driving cycle is used as in the standard city test, except that the ambient temperature of the test cell is set to −7 °C. In the air conditioning test, the ambient temperature of the test cell is raised to 35 °C. The vehicle's climate control system is then used to lower the internal cabin temperature. Starting with a warm engine, the test averages 35 km/h and reaches a maximum speed of 88 km/h. Five stops are included, with idling occurring 19% of the time. The high speed/quick acceleration test averages 78 km/h and reaches a top speed of 129 km/h. Four stops are included and brisk acceleration maximizes at a rate of 13.6 km/h per second. The engine begins warm and air conditioning is not used. The ambient temperature of the test cell is constantly 25 °C.
Across all studies reduced pituitary, GH, IGF1, and IRS signaling extended median life span by on average 157 days, 21.6%, with the overall meta-analytic hazard rate at median life span for mutant animals significantly lower than that of controls (the log hazard ratio, lnHR 50 = −0.87, 95% confidence interval, CI [−1.17, −0.57], z = −5.65, p < .0001). While this effect is substantial and significant, there is a high level of heterogeneity between studies (Q 41 = 78.6, p = .0004, I2 = 56.0%). Part of this heterogeneity is explained by splitting animals according to the underlying signals/hormones that are manipulated (test of moderator: Q M2 = 10.53, p = .005, marginal R2 or R2 [m] = 55.5%, which is heterogeneity accounted by the three signaling categories, sensu (24)). Animals with mutations that predominately alter GH signaling (also including other pituitary hormones in Ames and Snell Dwarf mice; see Table 1 for models included in different moderator groups) show greater relative reductions in mortality (Figure 1A) when compared to the reduction in mortality generated by mutations that interfere with either IGF1 or IRS. Notably, the degree of heterogeneity in response to manipulation further differed among the three subgroups, with GH/pituitary manipulations also showing the least heterogeneity in life-span response, while IRS manipulations show the highest (GH: 5.6%, IGF: 34.1%; IRS: 47.2%; Figure 1A). We note here that data from IRS manipulations is derived from only three different studies. The substantial heterogeneity observed within this category might partly result from a lack of concordance between two studies for one particular mouse model (IRS2+/−), and there has been less independent replication with each mouse model than those GH/pituitary studies. We also tested whether strain (seven different strain variants in the full set) explained variance across the dataset, but the proportion of variance explained was negligible (6.7% for lnHR 50 and ~0% for the models analyzing demography presented below).
" Visits to the Entenmann's plant from a "mashgiach" or kashruth inspector, are provided by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. The UOJC is one of several groups that maintain such a kosher inspection service, certifying foods and related products to be in compliance with Jewish dietary laws through all phases of production. The profit from these products goes, of course, to the companies that manufacture them and the stores that sell them, not to "the Jews." Shopping at Kosher Butcher Shops In the separate case of kosher meat and poultry purchased at kosher butcher shops (as distinguished from the broad general range of mass-market consumer goods certified kosher), the consumer does pay a higher price. This cost is due to the more intensive, continuous rabbinical supervision required for the exacting technicalities of kosher slaughter and inspection, processing, storage and quality of kosher meatóan inescapable necessity for this particular product, applicable only to its limited market, not the general consumer. The Lies The most active right wing extremist sources of the "kosher tax" hoax are various Ku Klux Klan groups and the National States Rights Party, based in Marietta, GA. The Invisible Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (now based in North Carolina), through its Empire Publishing, offers a pamphlet titled "The Kosher Food Swindle" to its members and supporters. The pamphlet begins: American families are paying tribute to Jews every time they sit down at the table to eat and in many instances, polish their shoes, silver or wrap the leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Why? Because Jews have discovered a way to coerce business to pay taxes directly to Jewish organizations and pass the cost on to the consumer. The racist and anti-Semitic National States Rights Party (NSRP), founded in 1958, became a focal point of violent opposition to the civil rights struggle in the South and has functioned as both a propaganda mill and a political party. The party's founder, Edward Fields, has served as its National Secretary, as well as the editor of the party's hate sheet, "The Truth At Last" (formerly "The Thunderbolt"). Fields was also the Grand Dragon of the now-defunct New Order, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. "The Truth At Last" published a special issue in June 1990 that dealt only with kosher symbols.
The main trends:Dive team compositions have surged to start Season 5, with key pieces D.Va, Pharah, Tracer, and Winston as the main heroes gaining the most popularity this week. The old standbys Soldier and Reinhardt are in free fall for many of the tiers, with Reinhardt in particular giving up his #1 Tank slot across nearly all tiers. Mercy remains the #1 most popular, while for the sixth straight week Ana and Lucio have both declined in popularity across most of the tiers. : A report and tier lists for Overwatch hero usage and trends across competitive ladder (Grandmaster -> Bronze), representing data from: We do not report any data from professional or Esports tournaments.For information on our data, see the About page.The infographic above presents the top 2 usage gainers for the competitive tiers. The big usage gainers this week vary depending on the tier, but several trends emerge. Despite being quite popular heroes, D.Va and Tracer continue to grow in popularity driven by the meta of fast paced and aggressive team compositions. D.Va is up more than 5% on average across the tiers, while Tracer is up 4% on average. Pharamercy has also increased in popularity this week, as Pharah sees big increases across the tiers, including a 6% increase at Masters Rank. A final notable gainer is Roadhog, as he grows in popularity, possibly in a possible effort to deal with fast moving squishies of dive team compositions.As far as the top 2 biggest usage losers this report, the big headliner is Reinhardt. Mirroring a trend seen on PC, Reinhardt usage drops are the absolute most we have seen since our coverage began at the start of Season 3. He is down an average of 11% in usage across all tiers, with even larger drops at the higher tiers. While the shift to dive has affected him greatly, the recent nerfs to his earthshatter height and well as many reported bugs may also be contributing factors. Soldier and Ana experience the next biggest drops in popularity, particularly at the mid to high tiers. Soldier's 5% damage nerf appear to have caused a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, while Ana continues to wane amidst her prior nerfs and the strength of Mercy.
Our study has a few limitations. First, exposure misclassification could occur because of missing satellite data and data processing errors. In addition, satellite-based measures of outdoor LAN are a proxy for total personal exposure to LAN, and a study has demonstrated that outdoor LAN measures may not capture true individual exposure to LAN, including indoor sources, that is thought to drive breast cancer risk (Rea et al. 2011). Although total personal exposure to LAN may be important to discern the etiologic association between LAN and breast cancer, the association between outdoor LAN and breast cancer risk may be relevant in a policy context because city- or county-scale policies that limit outdoor nighttime lighting may affect ambient LAN levels. Alternatively, outdoor LAN could be a proxy for an unmeasured breast cancer risk factor, where policies to limit outdoor LAN would have little effect. In addition, in this analysis, LAN data were available starting in 1996, so there was a temporal mismatch between LAN measures and our breast cancer data for earlier observations. However, analyses restricted to years after 1996 showed similar results. Although we successfully geocoded 85% of addresses to the street level, residences that could not be geocoded may differ in urban/nonurban characteristics, and thus, they may differ in LAN exposure. Given the relatively low proportion of missing exposure data, any selection bias is expected to be minimal. In addition, participants were 25–42 y old at baseline in 1989, so this analysis is missing data on exposure before this period, which might be an etiologically important time window. With any study of neighborhood factors and health, there is a possibility that participants may self-select into certain neighborhoods they deem “healthier” than others. However, adjustment for established breast cancer risk factors reduces the likelihood that neighborhood self-selection explains the associations that we observed. Because > 95 % of participants classified themselves as white, we were underpowered to detect differences in the association between outdoor LAN and breast cancer by race/ethnicity, and our findings may not be generalizable to women who are not white. Because all participants were nurses at enrollment, the generalizability of our findings to lower SES, nonworking groups is also potentially limited. Finally, although we adjusted for air pollution and population density, we cannot rule out the possibility that other factors that are correlated with outdoor LAN [e.g., economic activity (Rybnikova and Portnov 2015)] might explain the observed association between LAN and breast cancer risk.
But Obama also said the United States lacked leverage with China because the country holds so much U.S. debt. "It's very hard to tell your banker that he's wrong," he said. "And if we are running huge deficits and big national debts and we're borrowing money constantly from China that gives us less leverage."
In the 21st century, Bitcoin has replaced gold in all but decorative and ornamental functions. Further, because Bitcoin is a true medium of exchange and not simply a store of value, small-time merchants and regular consumers will become acquainted with it quickly. Because Bitcoin is a deflationary money, there will tend to emerge price discounts between fiat and Bitcoin values. Merchants, wishing to spend cash and retain Bitcoin, will reliably price their wares lower for customers who relinquish Bitcoin to them. This is what Daniel Krawisz refers to as “hyperbitcoinization.” It is a type of hypermonetization where one monetary unit accelerates in displacing another. We are already seeing price discounting with regards to credit cards. Many convenience stores and small businesses prefer to handle cash than credit, and they thereby offer an implicit discount for users who pay in cash (charging $0.50 on top of a credit transaction is the implicit cash discount). Likewise, merchants will agree to accept lessBitcoin than the pure exchange value to entice consumers to spend it. Consumers, witnessing the price discount – Gyft already offers 3% on many major retail outlets – will become interested in learning how they can save money. These two incentives are harmonious; both merchant and consumer benefit from Bitcoin, and the value proposition Bitcoin offers will force everyone to learn this second language. For a while thus, fiat values and Bitcoin values will exist simultaneously in people’s minds. Over time, the initial fiat values of various goods will disappear entirely as merchants refuse to accept worthless debt promises associated with the central banks of various nations. They will demand real assets for their goods, like Bitcoin, and then there will be no purpose in remembering the language of dollars, Euros, or anything else. They will be as dead as Latin.
One reason for Kipling's power [was] his sense of responsibility, which made it possible for him to have a world-view, even though it happened to be a false one. Although he had no direct connexion with any political party, Kipling was a Conservative, a thing that does not exist nowadays. Those who now call themselves Conservatives are either Liberals, Fascists or the accomplices of Fascists. He identified himself with the ruling power and not with the opposition. In a gifted writer this seems to us strange and even disgusting, but it did have the advantage of giving Kipling a certain grip on reality. The ruling power is always faced with the question, 'In such and such circumstances, what would you do? ', whereas the opposition is not obliged to take responsibility or make any real decisions. Where it is a permanent and pensioned opposition, as in England, the quality of its thought deteriorates accordingly. Moreover, anyone who starts out with a pessimistic, reactionary view of life tends to be justified by events, for Utopia never arrives and 'the gods of the copybook headings', as Kipling himself put it, always return. Kipling sold out to the British governing class, not financially but emotionally. This warped his political judgement, for the British ruling class were not what he imagined, and it led him into abysses of folly and snobbery, but he gained a corresponding advantage from having at least tried to imagine what action and responsibility are like. It is a great thing in his favour that he is not witty, not 'daring', has no wish to épater les bourgeois. He dealt largely in platitudes, and since we live in a world of platitudes, much of what he said sticks. Even his worst follies seem less shallow and less irritating than the 'enlightened' utterances of the same period, such as Wilde's epigrams or the collection of cracker-mottoes at the end of Man and Superman.

"My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful, so they elected me to be here," she said. Demand for Jackson's music has surged since his death on Thursday, with the star dominating sales at music retailers and download sites across the world. On Sunday his songs topped Apple's iTunes download charts in every country except Japan. In the UK Jackson scored a posthumous number one album with greatest hits compilation Number Ones, with four other albums reappearing in the top 20. In the singles chart, 43 out of the top 200 singles featured the singer, with Jackson hits accounting for all but one of the new entries in the top 40.
Both devices are as fast as any high-end Android phone in day-to-day use, but the GS5 feels slightly smoother than the G3 in doing so. The G3 wins on pixel density, but SuperAMOLED delivers brighter colors. The LG G3 scores a clear win on pixel density with its 2560x1440-resolution panel, boasting a ridiculous 538 pixels per inch. As we said in our G3 review, though, the device's main strength is its screen size, not its resolution. Being able to carry around a 5.5-inch display in a smartphone that's barely any bigger than the 5-inch competition is a big deal, and one that makes rivals seem decidedly poxy. But despite its ample size and pixel density, the G3 can't match the color quality of the Galaxy S5, appearing slightly washed out by comparison. While regular apps and web pages look great on either display, photos and videos will be best served by Samsung's 1080p SuperAMOLED panel. In our Galaxy S5 review we also praised the daylight visibility of Samsung's latest display, which is easier to see in direct sunlight than any previous AMOLED effort. That said, the G3 is also a strong performer in this area, and we've had no trouble using that 5.5-inch display in bright sunshine.
Wage battles, like all immediate struggles, are limited, but they are a step on the road to deep changes.A real change in society will not arise from a simple collection of partial struggles and victories, however 'militant,' but preparing for a decisive confrontation - where the accumulation of massive counter-power - infused with counter-culture - can displace, permanently, the existing power structure.There is no short cut, since this project requires widespread mobilisation and conscientisation; smaller struggles, sometimes emotive, sometimes 'militant,' are valuable, but never enough; there needs to be a quantitative (in terms of numbers and structures) and qualitative (in terms of growing mass confidence, organisation, consciousness and power) change.This requires careful work, not a leap of faith; the small struggles are the foundation of the great struggle, not a rival, not a substitute, but only a step in the right direction.

People fixated on the details of their future funeral would sometimes commission special mazer bowls from which the sin-eater would consume bread, salt and cheese. After the burial, the bowls became a family heirloom and memorial. By the late 18th century, commemorative funerary food traditions were becoming more refined in European and U.S. culture and focused on the offering of small cakes to those who came to wakes and burials. These were known as "funeral biscuits" (and came to be called "funeral cookies" by the late 19th century in the U.S.). Although they varied widely in size, shape and consistency, in spirit they were all the same. The British upper crust tended to favor the use of the sponge cake-like Lady Finger biscuits sometimes as wide and long as a modern hot dog roll. These were wrapped in plain paper held together with a daub of black sealing wax. A wrapper from the British Lady Finger-type funeral biscuit. Larger one local described his earlier experience at a Yorkshire "funeral of the richer sort": "They had burnt wine and a paper with two [Lady Finger] biscuits sealed up to carry home for their families. The paper in which these biscuits were sealed was printed on one side with a coffin, cross-bones, skulls, hacks, spades, hour-glass, etc... sealed with black wax." In the Yorkshire and Lincolshire sections of England, they were called "burying biscuits." In an 1802 letter,one local described his earlier experience at a Yorkshire "funeral of the richer sort": "They had burnt wine and a paper with two [Lady Finger] biscuits sealed up to carry home for their families. The paper in which these biscuits were sealed was printed on one side with a coffin, cross-bones, skulls, hacks, spades, hour-glass, etc... sealed with black wax." The common people in the Colonies tended toward dense shortbread funeral biscuits flavored with molasses, ginger or caraway. Resembling modern-day cookies in size and shape, these were often formed in hand-carved wooden stamping molds that embossed a cross, heart, death's head or cherub on their tops. In her study of Colonial-era funeral practices, historian Jacqueline Thursby describes Pennsylvania customs in Montgomery County near Philadelphia: It some places, it was common to wrap funeral biscuits in printed death notices. Larger The funeral biscuit served as part of a code representing understood messages of mourning, honor and remembrance."

The Wall Street Journal editorial board is flip-flopping on its acquiescence to President Obama's highly-qualified and noncontroversial nominee for attorney general, and is also calling for Republican senators to go even farther and extend their obstruction of Loretta Lynch to "all of his appellate nominees until he stops abusing his power." Right-wing media have struggled to find a substantive reason to object to Lynch, an experienced United States attorney who has received bipartisan acclaim for prosecuting terror suspects, human traffickers, and police brutality cases. Lacking any legitimate complaints about Lynch's widely praised record, conservative media figures like National Review's Rich Lowry have instead complained that Lynch, unsurprisingly, agrees with the president on key legal issues. On the March 22 edition of NBC's Meet The Press, Lowry doubled down on this absurd new standard, and insisted that until the president nominates an AG that thinks he broke the law, "so be it -- it's nothing against her personally, I don't care if she's Eliot Ness, the Senate can't do this." In contrast, the editorial board of the Journal originally recognized the noncontroversial nature of Lynch's nomination, and concluded last November that "Republicans have enough high priorities in the next Congress that the bar should be high for challenging non-judicial nominees who seem to be qualified and honest." But in a March 22 editorial, the Journal switched gears and joined the campaign to prevent a vote not only for Lynch, but for all future circuit court nominees as well: These columns believe that Presidents deserve their cabinet nominees in nearly all cases, but Mr. Obama's governance presents Congress with a larger Madisonian dilemma.James Madison designed a constitutional system of checks and balances to prevent executive or legislative tyranny. This works best when Presidents and Congresses assert their legal powers but step back from constitutional excesses that lead to judicial intervention or political crises. [...] The Lynch hold signals that the GOP Senate should consider using its advice and consent power more aggressively -- as a constitutional response to Mr. Obama's unconstitutional abuse of his executive authority. In her confirmation hearings Ms. Lynch defended Mr. Obama's executive order on immigration, which is a fair reason to vote against her, though Mr. McConnell and other Republicans should explicitly repudiate the false racial charge on the Senate floor. The more fruitful area for resistance may be on Mr. Obama's appellate-court nominees, as Curt Levey recently argued on these pages.
Readers hoping for more light to be shed on Stirner through an examination of the “historical context” of his life and works will be left wondering what Leopold was thinking when he wrote this essay. We can only hope that the next person to take up the challenge will approach it more seriously.
In addressing this gap, we adopt a comparative approach to the EU's responses to conflicts in its wider neighbourhood. Comparative research into conflicts and their (external) management can approach its subject matter in a variety of different ways. Cases can be selected, categorised and analysed in relation to factors specific to the conflict (parties, intensity, duration, issue of disagreement, etc. ), its geographic location, the type of intervention (economic, diplomatic, military, etc.) or the intervening actor/s (states, coalitions of states, regional and international organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), individuals). This choice is obviously dependent on the type of question that research seeks to answer. In our case, we are interested in violent conflict 6 6. We define violent conflict as the sustained and strategic use of violence by organised actors to defend or change an existing status quo. View all notes within and between states in a specific, pre-determined geographic region and a single intervening actor. 7 7. We do not claim that the EU is a homogeneous actor or that all its institutions and member states have identical interests in relation to conflict management in the wider neighbourhood as this term is used here. But we are concerned with EU policies and their impact, rather than with the (EU-internal) process of policy making that involves often complex negotiations among representatives of the member states and EU institutions.

And I said, ‘I’m going to do strings at the studio.’ And he said, ‘I know where you’ll be and you’d better be back tonight–releasing you is against my better judgment.’ Obviously he knew I didn’t have an ectopic, so he knew it wasn’t quote-unquote life or death for me. He was just going to take my fallopian tube and had talked about in vitro. He told me not to worry if I lost my fallopian tube, that there was in vitro. And little did I know, he had a huge in vitro practice.
The financial kings seek to, and do, secure the substantial profits and the principal products resulting from the labor of the plain toilers. They take their chance in the game of life and gather in the fruits from others' labor. War means destruction and leaves little or nothing to distribute to the soldiers of the ranks, but the activity of men in the field of industry, when applied in connection with the latest mechanical devices, approved methods of application, methods of association, etc., results in an enormous increase in the productive energy of the masses, as well as an enormous daily accumulation of real wealth. But however great the accumulated wealth may be or become, it is a mere bagatelle when compared with the results that must come from the daily expenditure of the energy of the working people, and it is the results of the wealth that is thus brought forth that should be equably distributed, in so far as it can be to the individuals participating in its production (principally those who labor) as a reward for their industry. They are entitled to it, and in our studies we shall find out why they it have not received it. At the same time we shall consider ways and means by which they may, in the future, secure what is properly due to those who honestly industriously and intelligently apply themselves. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH US? Business is conducted on a plan that makes it difficult for the most of us to secure the time in which to increase our information and enjoy the appropriate recreations and pleasures that are necessary in order to properly develop our intelligence and give us a correct mental and physical balance, it is true, however that most of us are, and all men should be, capable of filling better positions in life than most of them occupy, but we are still forced to remain in the same condition because we allow a false system to continue in practice rather than bestir ourselves and enforce the institution of a proper system which would enable us to follow a natural order of things and stop receiving underpay for working overtime throughout the entire journey of life. One reads in newspapers, books, and other sources of information the various views and conclusions of persons very much like ourselves. Some of those write 11 prove to be capable judges, some poor.
There are many homegrown cleantech companies poised to directly benefit from the program, and they’re already lining up big industrial partners, from ArcelorMittal Dofasco to U.S. Steel. This is exactly how cap-and-trade should work. Price carbon. Change industry thinking. Use revenues collected to help industry transition. Seed the innovative local solutions that will accelerate that transition, and demonstrate them on your home turf so foreign buyers can confidently buy into them. Both the environment and the economy win. Emissions are reduced, industry becomes more efficient, and a new generation of cleantech companies emerge as engines of job creation and export activity. The economic opportunity can’t be overstated. The global cleantech market is projected to be worth $3 trillion by 2020, according to Analytica Advisors, which also tells us that 87 per cent of Canadian cleantech companies are overwhelmingly dependent on their ability to export. It’s common sense that the chances these companies have of selling overseas are significantly diminished if they can’t land a deal at home, so deliberately making that connection between local innovators and local industry is crucial to their success — and the future of economic growth in Ontario. There is a race underway, with jurisdictions across the globe vying for a larger slice of the pie. But by wisely using the carrots and sticks made possible through the cap-and-trade program, Ontario is primed to capture the opportunities that the low-carbon transition represents. Tyler Hamilton is business development manager for cleantech venture services at MaRS Discovery District.

Plymouth Gin Origin: Plymouth, England Process: Copper pot distill. Mezcal Origin: Mexico Ingredients: juice of any species of agave plant (a.k.a. maguey, pronounced muh-GAY) Process: Cultivate agave 8-10 years, depending on the type, cut off flower stalk when it appears at plant's sexual maturity--growth is redirected into central stalk which swells with sweet, juicy pulp. After swelling, cut plant from roots and remove the long sword-shaped leaves, leaving the piña ("pineapple," so-called because it resembles a giant green and white pineapple) which weighs 25-100 pounds. Quarter piña, bake in underground oven heated with wood charcoal (for mezcal's distinctive smoky taste), and crush and shred to extract the sweet juice aguamiel ("honey water"). Ferment and pot distill agave juice to 55% ABV with water only (high-quality) or add sugar ("mixto"). If needed add natural flavorings and caramel for color. Tequila Origin: Jalisco, Mexico Ingredients: juice of blue agave (agave tequiliana) Process: Similar to mezcal but bake piña in steam oven or autoclave (oversized pressure cooker) until all starch is converted to sugar. Silver/Blanco: Age 60 days, less, or not at all.
This crisis, this collapse, occurred in 2008. Make no mistakes about it. Look at the world between today’s date and backtracking to 2008. Is it a peaceful place where citizens are getting along because their governments and central bankers have figured out a way to save the economy? … If I look between 2008 and right now, if I look at the history in this short period of time, I see anarchy around the world. I see citizens pushing back. I see protests in every region of the world. Almost every week a new hot spot is popping up. I’m not making that up. This isn’t crisis in the future. This is crisis now – here and now. … Open your mind. Open your eyes. Pull yourself out of the mainstream for a minute. Pull yourself out of the propaganda machine just for a minute and do an inventory of what’s happened on this planet in the last two years since the collapse of 2008. Facts are facts, and these data clearly demonstrate the ongoing disaster and that the watershed event has already occurred. The reality is, no one in any position of influence has done anything to reverse the trend – globally. Just as our universe is believed to be expanding at an ever increasing rate with no end in sight, even though the Big Bang happened some 14 billion years ago, so too are the effects of the economic collapse gaining momentum : There will be more unemployed – not statistically the way our government likes to count – but realistically on the ground. Millions who are without work are not being counted.
Without being under the watchful eye of its citizens, a government ‘purloins from the general character of man, the merits that appertain to him as a social being’. Although government is a ‘necessary evil’, it is important to note that the state has a significant role to play. For as Paine recognised, men come together to secure through the state those things that can only be provided by the state. Policing and defence are obvious examples but the state needs to be involved in other issues for the mutual benefit of its citizens. Paine, for example, drew up a 14-point plan of tax and spending reform which included a progressive taxation plan, featuring increased spending on poor relief the education of over a million children. However, any such interventions would be motivated by a desire to allow man’s instincts to flourish. A motivation premised on man’s rational behaviour will remain limited. The human rights advocate, however, is content with a larger state. Lord Bingham rightly observed that ‘the biggest impact of the Human Rights Act is… a subtle but significant re-calibration of the relationship between the individual and the state’. Keir Starmer QC, the former director of public prosecutions (DPP), spells out what this ‘re-calibration’ amounts to in an article drawing attention to the important difference between a natural-rights approach, which he refers to as being about civil liberties, and human rights: ‘It is often thought that civil liberties and human rights are two sides of the same coin. They are not. Civil liberties protect the individual from the state by restricting the circumstances in which the state can interfere in the affairs of its citizens. Human rights, in contrast, not only protect the individual from the state but also oblige the state, in carefully defined circumstances, to take positive steps to protect its citizens. This distinction is important. The Human Rights Act entrenches positive obligations in our law.’ (2) Starmer argues that state interventions occur ‘in carefully defined circumstances’, but when human-rights advocates see man as misanthropic those circumstances will constantly expand. Under any human-rights discourse, the individual will do less and will have less freedom, and the state will do more. For it is only the state that can perform the necessary task of protecting citizens from each other. That state – in the form of its courts, and the rules and regulations that it generates in the name of human rights – is now expansive.
America was suffering from a huge increase in psychiatric disorders. An influx of shell shocked soldiers and bereaved, disturbed relatives was swelling the asylum population. In addition, there was still no cure for tertiary syphilis, which had been discovered to cause up to half the known cases of dementia praecox, or schizophrenia. The need for practical measures to counter madness had never been more urgent. Dr. Walter Freeman. In July 1935, Freeman, then aged 40, attended a neurological conference in London. It was quite a gathering. Also in attendance were the celebrated Russian, Ivan Pavlov, whose trained salivating dogs were to make him legendary; and Egas Moniz, the celebrated Portuguese neurosurgeon, who had pioneered cerebral angiography, the process of mapping the parts of the brain by injecting "contrast" solutions which can be seen by X-rays. Pavlov might not have brought his dogs to the conference, but John Fulton from Yale University had brought two chimpanzees. These were the subject of a day long symposium which both Freeman and Moniz attended. Fulton had completely removed the entire frontal lobes from these two animals — a lobectomy — which had radically altered their behavior. He could no longer generate experimental forms of neurosis in the animals. They were seemingly unperturbable. The symposium was fascinated, and the discussion about the significance of the frontal lobes went on and on, as the assembled company hedged gently around the delicate issue that Fulton's chimpanzees raised. Eventually, to much surprise, it was Egas Moniz who stood up and asked the question that Freeman, for one, had been desperate to put. "If the frontal lobe removal prevents the development of experimental neurosis in animals and eliminates frustrational behavior," he asked, "why would it not be possible to relieve anxiety states in man by surgical means?" Many attending were shocked to hear it put so frankly; they believed that Moniz was talking about performing the full lobectomy on humans. Freeman, however, was struck by Moniz's courage. A year later, he came across Moniz again, this time in the pages of a French medical periodical. In September 1935, in a Lisbon surgery, Moniz had participated in the first controlled attempt to put into practice the ideas raised at the London conference. With the neurosurgeon Almeida Lima, he had attempted to perform the first leucotomy, on a female asylum patient.
WASHINGTON The U.S. military paid a Florida company nearly $32 million to build barracks and offices for Iraqi army units even though nothing was ever built, Pentagon investigators reported. The project had to be abandoned because the Iraqi Defense Ministry couldn't obtain rights to the land where the headquarters were to be built, according to a report released this month by the Defense Department's Office of Inspector General. Contracting records show the buildings would have housed one brigade and three battalions of the Iraqi military in Ramadi, a hotbed of the Sunni Muslim insurgency and capital of Anbar province. Still, the Air Force agency overseeing the project paid contractor Ellis Environmental Group $31.9 million of the $34.2 million obligated for the project, the report said. An Air Force spokesman, Michael Hawkins, said in an e-mail that Air Force auditors are reviewing the contract. Although the inspector general's report says the Air Force was considering suing the contractor, Hawkins said any talk of a lawsuit was premature until the Air Force audit is complete. Ellis Environmental Group spokesman Steve Brownstein said the work was reassigned to Ellis World Alliance Corp., a related company. Bob Smith, of Ellis World Alliance headquarters in Gainesville, Fla., said contracting rules barred any official comment. The Ramadi construction contract is one of many problems Pentagon investigators cited in this month's report on the military's oversight of $5.2 billion Congress approved in 2005 to help train and equip the Iraqi military and police. The report says the military didn't keep adequate records of equipment for the Iraqis ranging from generators and garbage trucks to thousands of guns and grenade launchers. Separately, the United States has launched a criminal investigation into allegations that weapons it bought for the Iraqis ended up in the hands of insurgent and terrorist groups. The Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment near San Antonio manages construction contracts for the Iraqi military assistance program. In May 2006, the Air Force center awarded the Ramadi project to Ellis Environmental Group, according to federal contracting records. The inspector general's report says vouchers provided by the contractor don't show purchased materials. But Hawkins said the Air Force had documentation on about $15 million worth of equipment and supplies meant for the Ramadi headquarters. That gear is in storage and available for other projects in Iraq, Hawkins said.

Earlier in his study Chambers, no doubt sensing the danger of admitting that Sogliardo is a parody of Shakespeare, backs away from this idea: “Sogliardo’s motto seems to glance at Shakspeare’s, although the coat does not resemble his, and obviously Sogliardo, described as ‘an essential clown’, who ‘comes up every tearm to learn to take Tabacco and see new Motions’, is not a ‘portrait’ of Shakespeare” (1:202). As much as we admire Chambers’ fastitidious work, to us it is by no means “obvious” that the portrait is not an intentional and brilliant satire of the man whom posterity has mistaken for a literary genius but was in fact, in Jonson’s eyes, apparently an “essential clown.”[11] Miller, Ruth Loyd. “Shakespeare” Identified. 3rd Edition.

About 30 minutes later, Simpson was approached by a sergeant who told him he would be placed in solitary overnight, and the day staff would figure out where to put him in the morning. Simpson says he ended up spending roughly 75 consecutive days in solitary. “Instead of sending Mr. Simpson to another range at the Toronto South or to another institution, he was treated as a pariah and kept locked away in isolation to accommodate the ignorance and discriminatory attitudes demonstrated by a small group of other inmates,” the complaint says. Simpson agreed to share his jail records with the Star to verify the amount of time he spent in solitary, but a corrections clerk refused to provide them to his lawyer, Shane Martínez, who was directed to the ministry’s access-to-information department — a process that can drag on for months. The lawyer filed a request in December and is still waiting. Simpson paints a disturbing picture of the Toronto South solitary unit, which he says held many inmates with medical issues and mental illnesses. One inmate smeared feces into the ventilation system, Simpson recalled at his lawyer’s office, which went unnoticed until the smell began to spread from cell to cell. Once, an inmate threw feces out of the hatch in his cell, which landed on Simpson’s door and surrounding areas, the complaint says. When guards hosed down the unit, water leaked into some inmates’ living spaces through the hatch where they receive food, Simpson said. To the best of Simpson’s knowledge, his placement in solitary was classified as a case of “administrative segregation,” which the ministry defines as “the separation of an inmate from the general population where the continued presence of the inmate . . . would pose a serious threat to the health or safety of any person, to property, or to the security or orderly operation of the institution.” Like those held in solitary for misconduct, inmates in administrative segregation are confined to small cells for 23 hours a day, sometimes longer, with very little human contact. Calls for the practice to be limited or banned have been growing louder, but it is still used widely in Canadian jails as a form of punishment and a means to deal with prisoners whose illnesses make them difficult to manage.
The outcome of the Rudas debate made it possible for me to retire from direct literary activities (as critic, editor, and so on). I had to accept that the political methods introduced in “the year of the decisive turn” made impossible any literary criticism that deals with principles. The so-called self-criticism which facilitated my withdrawal was purely formal. This had already been emphasized by József Révai and Márton Horváth, and my later sectarian critics reproved the Rakosi regime for its “leniency” toward me. Since the few articles written after the debate are the direct, organic continuation of my activities up till then it is not necessary to comment on them here. What is more important, the free time thus gained made it at last possible for me to work out my aesthetic views in detail. Although the final part of this collection includes certain of these works I do not think the reader will expect me to attempt even a brief summary of the theoretical questions connected with this systematization. What makes this even less necessary is the fact that the preface to the Aesthetics analyses in detail the connection between the theoretical foundation and structure of these works and the fundamental methodological questions of Marxism. If the reader is perhaps surprised that, on one hand, I attribute a decisive significance to particularity in the structure of the aesthetic world-view and, on the other hand, I connect artistic creation and the true enjoyment of works of art with the particular and correct reflection of reality, then I may be permitted a few remarks as regards these two connected questions. First of all: particularity is just as much a material, objective category of the objects and processes of reality as individuality and universality. It is one of the most important achievements of Marxism that the process of abstraction that creates universals — for example, socially necessary work as opposed to concrete individual work — is not primarily the product of intellectual abstraction; what is more, that this itself is nothing but a reflection in the consciousness of the objective social process. This situation is only one instance of man — no matter what he does — always confronting the same uniform reality (its categories and so on).
Although I didn’t feel like I was overly weighted down, I still couldn’t take a step. My feet just felt rooted to the ground. The no-inch punch was amazing. And yes, there was no distance but the force was definitely there. I wouldn’t say it felt exactly like a punch, which is more of a percussive feel. No, this was more like a ball of energy/power hitting me and shockwaves vibrating out from where it entered my body. Next thing I know, I’m picking myself up off the ground a few feet away. All the while, Dan is explaining how all of it is done. He was open and willing to share information on what he was doing and how it was done. He showed me some exercises to do and I tried some of them. Try is a good word. It’ll take some time doing them, especially the hanmi. LOL. But in the short time I was there, I will say that they definitely helped. The stuff Dan is doing is good stuff. I wish I’d been able to visit his dojo and meet everyone else, but I’m hoping that my next visit, I’ll be able to do that.

I’m inviting the entire New York Knicks to come shoot warm-ups during my set.The single comes out in February. There are two songs [the label] loves as singles; I don’t know which one will come out first. I go back next week on my birthday to mix more. She’s actually kind of hard-core. You can’t get away. I’ll be glad when we’re all wrapped up. It’s been a lot of work. I’ve worked harder on these songs than I’ve worked on our songs, and that’s a lot of fucking work.I’ve never seen him more like, Fuck, I have to go back.If I can go back and wrap this up and make great songs for her…She’s the queen of making music. I remember having songs like “Cherish” and “Vogue” on cassette tapes. I’ve loved her production, and I’ve always loved how she’s a forward-thinking motherfucking beast. She was the first person to really bring in different sounds and co-opt things for her own sound, and I’ve always loved her for that.The kids know that there’s culture for them. They’re downloading mixtapes. What we do as DJs is the most direct art form, musically, that there is. It’s all about hearing something that you like and reacting to it, whether you know what it is or not.It feels like we are curators of a scene. Not to be offensive, but the EDM scene is dead in a way, and the curators are the festival guys who want to keep it simple for themselves. They’re the corporate sponsor guys who are keeping the stuff that’s easy to sell, and I think it’s our job to curate newer things and new horizons and give new things to people.When I go through New York, I have such a diverse network in that city. I did a Brooklyn tour earlier this year. I played Brooklyn Bowl, some random-ass warehouse, all different clubs. If you have someone like me or Wes play, with our extended network, you’ll get a vibe, you’ll get a scene around that show. It’s tangible at the right places. They need a person to bring it all together.The moral of all of this is that people need to start their own party. Even if it starts with 20 people at your house and you’re only playing go-go music or ’90s hip-hop, develop that. And when it starts to ignite, control it and let it build more.
Newsday reports the burglars gained entrance to the house through a second story window. There was glass in the yard and a ladder leading up to the second floor. It was reported the burglars went straight for the safe that contained legally registered weapons but they abandoned the theft when they could not get the safe open. One person has been taken into custody.As Digital Journal reported, on Dec. 23, 2012, nine days after the Sandy Hook shooting, The Journal News, based in the lower Hudson Valley, published a map showing the names and addresses of persons who had legal gun permits in Westchester and Rockland Counties. An attempt to include Putnam County was foiled after that county refused to provide the information to the newspaper.The name and address of the victim of Saturday's break-in was shown on the map as having a gun permit. Although the victim refused comment and police have not released further details, they are investigating to see if the published map had anything to do with the burglary.Shortly after The Journal News published the map, New York State Senator Greg Ball said he would introduce legislation prohibiting the release of information about gun owners to anyone other than law enforcement agencies and prosecutors. Although there is no conclusive evidence at the moment the house was targeted because of the map, Ball wasted no time in blasting The Journal News —again. Yesterday, the State Senator issued at statement that read,The Affiliated Police Association of Westchester County said the organization will hold The Journal News responsible if anything happens to any of its members. Robert Buckley, the vice president, is quoted in the Rockland Times as saying,Today, Ball will introduce Bill S2132 to protect personal information of legal guns owners, who include present and retired law enforcement officers and victims of domestic violence, from being publicly disclosed.The investigation into the burglary is continuing.

Tesla’s rate of improvement, from the original, fast-but-flawed Roadster of 2008 to the P85D, is jaw-dropping. This car asks some pretty serious questions of conventionally fuelled performance machines. Whatever follows might just render them all but redundant.
