Because there are substantial differences in PRDM9 allele frequencies between human populations, we used LD-hotspots inferred from population-specific subsets of HapMap II data (19) [Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe (CEU); Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria (YRI)] to assess the DSB overlap. In agreement with the higher prevalence of PRDM9 C in African as compared with European populations, the PRDM9 C -defined DSB hotspots are better represented at YRI-specific hotspots (33% overlap) (Fig. 3B) than at CEU-specific hotspots (4% overlap) (Fig. 3B). Furthermore, at PRDM9 C -defined DSB hotspots, the mean YRI-derived recombination rate is higher than the mean CEU-derived recombination rate (fig. S8). In contrast, PRDM9 A -defined DSB hotspots are well represented in both CEU- and YRI-specific LD-hotspots, with 52% overlapping hotspots in both populations (Fig. 3B). Although the majority of DSB hotspots for each PRDM9 allele are found at LD-hotspots, 27% of PRDM9 A -defined and 44% of PRDM9 C -defined DSB hotspots are not found at a LD-hotspot in either population (Fig. 3B). We did find, however, that >80% of these DSB hotspots were located in a region with an elevated recombination rate (Fig. 1C, “a,” and Fig. 3C), suggesting that these hotspots have been active in human populations but were simply below the detection thresholds used for LD-hotspot detection. Together, the DSB maps for different PRDM9 alleles clearly show that the population-averaged LD map is a combination of allele-specific maps.
When a scholar produced historical evidence disputing the bogus Armenian claims of genocide, s/he was intimidated and harassed with choice words like “denialist”, “paid agent”, and more and Armenian letter campaigns to his/her university president demand his/her dismissal. That scholar is discredited, not because of his/her scholarly work, but because of his/her acceptance of payment, true or not, from the Turks.Is honorarium for a lecture a bribe? Or is it illegal? Aren’t Armenians also paying honorariums to Akcam and those pro-Armenian-non-historians called genocide scholars? If considered an agent-maker, then all honorariums and other payments should be banned by the universities coast-to-coast.And what about the book deals? Book signing tours? Hotel, food, travel, event payments? Are they all agent-makers? If they are, then they should not be allowed in the universities and colleges, either. But we all know that all universities and colleges do it and I find nothing wrong with them. So why did the Armenians attack those scholars who may or may not have received payments from Turkish sources? Why did Armenians pay Akcam if it was so wrong to pay a scholar for his services or employment?Some of those professors who successfully refuted Armenian allegations of genocide were so frustrated by these Armenian attempts to smear them, that most chose silence, while some changed fields of interest or retired. Please note that when these were happening, one leading Armenian professor was acting as advisor to Armenia’s president and his son served Armenia’s foreign minister. Can you believe this arrogant double standard? On the one hand, advising a Turkish ambassador is enough to be labeled a foreign agent, on the other, advising to an Armenian president or serving as Armenian foreign minister is not. This is Armenian culture of justice and fairness for you. Need I say more?What the Armenian lobby seems to forget that popular American saying: “What goes around, comes around.” Or how about this one: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” If Armenians viciously attack legitimate professors for refuting genocide claims by falsely accusing them of being paid-Turkish-agents, the Armenians must expect others to return the favor one day by exposing the Armenians’ “poster boy”.Here is the plain truth: I really, truly, don’t care who pays whom for what as long as it is above board, the payee does not twist the facts to appease the payer, and the final product of such relationship is the truth, not manipulations.
There is [sic] all this [sic] broken-out space ships orbiting around this thing in anti-gravity fields.All the way back in 1958, they already knew there was a face on Mars. Jack Kirby’s comic book had an article in it called, “The Face on Mars.” Looks the same as what I showed you earlier.and there are some really strange things where the arrows are pointing where there is some fuzzy stuff that looks like it is probably glass. You see that there is this kind of opacity to the area in the middle, there is some translucence there. It’s not totally black, that could actually be some transparent glass but the really amazing thing is what we see over on the left.It’s a shard of one of the beams that actually fell over, and you can now see it resting along the side of the mountain. A bent structural support several thousand feet long.and I haven’t actually been able to track exactly where this was but this is supposedly one of the broken foundations of buildings that was on the Moon before it got all wiped out.So these Pre-Adamites after they blew up their planet they survived for approximately 445,000 years on the Moon, this is the latest and greatest intel. Approximately 55,000 years ago they got attacked by the reptilians (the Draco). They had a terrible war with the reptilians.That is how these ships ended up getting blown up, that’s how the domes, that’s how the glass got broken. Their ships were getting shot down; only a very small number of them actually survived now.was so much smaller, they had actually got a lot shorter over time. But they were still giants compared to us. Anywhere up to 12-14 feet tall. They are badly wounded, they only have a few ships left and they crash landed on earth with those ships which were gigantic in size. The stories of their landing here were told in a book that should have been in the Bible. But the early Roman Empire said there is no way we are putting this in the Bible because this is our story and we are going to be exposed if we put this in there.And Jesus quotes from it. He clearly took it seriously.translated by Dr. Richard Laurence. We didn’t even get to read it until 1821.
Enlarge By Dan Wilkinson, U.S. Embassy in Kabul The Detention Facility in Parwan opened with huge cells, recreation facilities, visitor centers, high-definition TVs and modern medical equipment. How the U.S. reshaped an Afghan prison's image BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan In an outdoor field, inmates at the Detention Facility in Parwan play soccer in the shadow of the transport planes, shipping containers and thousands of troops that cram this major hub of the Afghanistan war. In another part of the prison, the men are being visited by their wives and children. Others whose families live far from the base talk on a videoconference system. In a vocational training wing, inmates use new sewing machines to make curtains for a meeting room. "They jumped all over this," Army Maj. Ann Sampson said. "They all want to make suits and learn English." Prison life at Bagram is far different today than the initial years of the war, say military officials who gave USA TODAY a rare tour of the facility. Before Parwan, suspected Taliban militants, sympathizers and abettors were squeezed into a windowless Soviet airplane hangar known as Bagram Theater Internment Facility. The Red Cross complained about the rudimentary conditions. Groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union likened it to the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, where inmates were abused by several U.S. troops. Two Afghan inmates died at Bagram in 2002. A military judge found Army Pfc. Willie Brand guilty of abusing one of the inmates, and five U.S. guards pleaded guilty to abusing inmates there. Afghans were not allowed to visit, the Western media were refused entry, and the local press was full of dark accusations of hidden torture chambers and clandestine executions. "Our first approach was, 'You know, we have to hold them.' It wasn't planned or intended," Vice Adm. Robert Harward, who oversees detention operations in Afghanistan, said of the early days of the war in Afghanistan. "We were in the reactionary phase of detention operations across the board. (Parwan) is a dramatic shift from what Bagram was about."

"KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana," claims a release from NeverGetBusted.com "When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house." "The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster's attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster's secret mobile office nearby. "The attorney was handcuffed and later released when eleven KopBuster detectives arrived with the media in tow to question the illegal raid. The police refused to give KopBusters the search warrant affidavit which is suspected to contain the lies regarding the probable cause. "It is not illegal to grow plants under a light in your home but it is illegal to lie on an affidavit and plant drugs on a citizen. This operation was the first of its kind in the history of America. Police sometimes have other police investigating their crimes but the American court system has never dealt with a group of citizens stinging the police. Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted." Here's the video: Here's the video: Cooper says that he targeted the Odessa police because marijuana was planted on a young woman which resulted in an eight year sentence: Cooper chose the Odessa police department for baiting because he believes police there instructed an informant to plant marijuana on a woman named Yolanda Madden. She's currently serving an eight-year sentence for possession with intent to distribute. According to Cooper, the informant actually admitted in federal court that he planted the marijuana. Madden was convicted anyway. Video here: I wish Cooper had made more of these videos, but he seems to be busy running for Attorney General on the Libertarian ticket. More power to him, and may he fight the good fight, etc. I hate to sound cynical, but history shows that Libertarian Party candidates don't win.
(NaturalNews) Public beaches may provide a home for and mechanism for the spread of the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Washington and presented to the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. "Our results suggest that public beaches may be a reservoir for possible transmission of MRSA," lead researcher Marilyn Roberts said.MRSA is a drug-resistant form to the common Staph infection that can lead to severe and even lethal side effects if left untreated. Once a problem largely confined to hospitals, MRSA has spread beyond health care settings in recent years. This new prevalence, combined with its evolved ability to infect healthier people, has led to a situation where MRSA now kills more people in the United States each year than AIDS.Researchers tested 10 public beaches on the Puget Sound and identified 13 different varieties of Staph bacteria spread over nine of them. Seven of these varieties were multidrug resistant. Five of the MRSA samples appeared most similar to hospital varieties, suggesting that some form of contamination was responsible for their presence.People may be infected with Staph bacteria without developing symptoms. These carriers can in turn infect others. Carriers may have been responsible for the two MRSA varieties that did not appear to come from hospitals, but the researchers could not be sure.Roberts said that the MRSA probably entered the beaches due to environmental contamination. "Where all of these organisms are coming from and how they're getting seeded (on the beaches) is not clear," she said. Two beaches tested in southern California were not contaminated.Nevertheless, the method of sampling that Roberts and colleagues used is not likely to capture every different Staph variety at a given beach. "The fact that we found these organisms suggests that the amount is much higher than we previously thought," she said.Sources for this story include: www.usatoday.com

Outgoing New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly will join the dominant foreign policy think-tank Council on Foreign Relations following his exit from the NYPD later this month.Kelly, the longest-serving commissioner in New York Police Department history, will become a visiting fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the organization said Monday in a statement. He will focus on "counterterrorism, cybersecurity, and other national security issues" while working at the organization's headquarters in Manhattan. "Ray Kelly spearheaded the modernization of the New York Police Department," CFR President Richard Haass said in the statement. "The result is that crime is down and the NYPD's counter terrorism capabilities are second to none. We are excited and proud to have his experience, expertise, and judgment at the Council. "The CFR is considered the most influential foreign policy think-tank in the United States. Many top American politicians, officials from presidential administrations, bankers, lawyers, media personalities and others are counted as members. Some top board members include the group's co-chairman Robert Rubin, former US Secretary of Treasury and co-chair of Goldman Sachs; former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell; and the longest-serving CENTCOM commander, Gen. John Abizaid.In addition to the CFR post, Kelly signed a contract earlier this month to give lucrative speeches with Greater Talent Network.Kelly was New York Police Commissioner for two non-consecutive terms. He led the NYPD from 1992 to 1994 under Mayor David Dinkins. Upon election of Rudolph Giuliani as mayor in 1994, Kelly was replaced by William Bratton, who will again replace Kelly when current Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio takes office on Jan. 1, 2014.Kelly's second run as commissioner lasted all three of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's terms as mayor, from 2002 to 2014.Overall crime dropped since Kelly took office in 2002 and murder rates in New York City have fallen to new lows since the 1950s. YetIn the years following the September 11, 2001, attacks,The program, conducted by the NYPD's so-called Demographics Unit and uncovered in 2011 through an Associated Press investigation,as part of an alleged counterterrorism operation conducted with the assistance of a former high-ranking Central Intelligence Agency officer.Kelly will likely be remembered most for the controversialhe solidified over the past decade. New York police stopped hundreds of thousands of people each year without reasonable suspicion of criminal activity.

Philalethes. So it seems. Still I take a higher standpoint, and keep in view a more important object, the progress, namely, of the knowledge of truth among mankind. And from this point of view, it is a terrible thing that, wherever a man is born, certain propositions are inculcated in him in earliest youth, and he is assured that he may never have any doubts about them, under penalty of thereby forfeiting eternal salvation; propositions, I mean, which affect the foundation of all our other knowledge and accordingly determine for ever, and, if they are false, distort for ever, the point of view from which our knowledge starts; and as, further, the corollaries of these propositions touch the entire system of our intellectual attainments at every point, the whole of human knowledge is thoroughly adulterated by them. Evidence of this is afforded by every literature; the most striking by that of the Middle Age, but in a too considerable degree by that of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Look at even the first minds of all those epochs; how paralyzed they are by false fundamental positions like these; how, more especially, all insight into the true constitution and working of nature is, as it were, blocked up. During the whole of the Christian period Theism lies like a mountain on all intellectual, and chiefly on all philosophical efforts, and arrests or stunts all progress. For the scientific men of these ages God, devil, angels, demons hid the whole of nature; no inquiry was followed to the end, nothing ever thoroughly examined; everything which went beyond the most obvious casual nexus was immediately set down to those personalities. "It was at once explained by a reference to God, angels or demons," as Pomponatius expressed himself when the matter was being discussed, "and philosophers at any rate have nothing analogous." There is, to be sure, a suspicion of irony in this statement of Pomponatius, as his perfidy in other matters is known; still, he is only giving expression to the general way of thinking of his age. And if, on the other hand, any one possessed the rare quality of an elastic mind, which alone could burst the bonds, his writings and he himself with them were burnt; as happened to Bruno and Vanini.
With this primary season, we are once again at a moment in history where political pragmatism can lead to disaster. This concept that Hillary is the presumptive nominee has rankled a critical mass of people. No, they are saying to this anointing. No, they do not want to be told in a free and open democracy who to for. No, they will not be intimidated by moderates in the Democratic Party, who have been on the wrong side of history. To the Democratic Party, you take this movement of Bernie voters for granted at your own peril. These people have had every opportunity to embrace your presumptive nominee. They have received your constant stream of publicity suggesting Hillary is their anointed. They have been given the message like everyone else, and they have overwhelmingly rejected this notion. No, they say, this is not my candidate. This is the candidate of the DLC Democratic Party that has brought us moderation when we needed bold action. This is the wing of the party that has brought us war and bank bailouts and mass incarceration. If Hillary had been on the right side of these issues, we would not be here today. We are here today because we want more out of our party. To start with, we would like an opposition party, a party that is truly for the working man and woman, a party that helps their constituents with actual policy, not just lip service every election cycle that deals more with fear of the Republicans than with any actual change. We are the ones that marched against the Iraq War that Hillary voted for. We are the ones that have opposed for years the suicidal environmental future that politicians like Hillary have sanctioned with their support of the fossil fuel industry. We are the ones who marched against NAFTA. We are the ones that were outraged that the Democratic Party policies embraced a new strategy under Bill Clinton that demonized welfare mothers and supported legislation that disproportionately incarcerated African Americans in this war on drugs. We are the ones that opposed the tar sands pipeline that Hillary originally supported until she realized that it would be politically expedient for her to oppose. We are supporting a candidate that stood with us, that voted against the Iraq War, that is opposed to fracking, that voted against NAFTA, that is opposed to the death penalty.

The Korea Journalist Award is our most prestigious press award, similar to the Pulitzer Prize in the U.S. In 1967, Kim Jip of TBC won the first award for covering Lee Su-geun’s defection through Panmunjom. Kim Jib was drunk and asleep in a bathroom the night before and missed a bus to Seoul. He was woken by gunfire as North Korea’s Central News Agency vice president Lee Su-geun defected to the South under fire of North Korean guards. Kim Jib reported live from the scene.Other scoops like the torture and death of Park Jong-cheol (1987) won the award.In 1995, the Korea Journalist Award Grand Prize was established. It is not awarded every year. It honors only scoops that surprised the world. Honorees include the journalists who reported the death of Deng Xiaoping in 1997, the secret Beijing meeting between Kim Jong-il and Jiang Zemin in 2000 and the manipulation of public opinion by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) during the 2012 presidential election.The most complicated story was Yonhap News’ 2010 coverage of Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-il’s third son and chosen successor. The story took nine years to investigate. The reporter, Choi Seon-yeong, is a North Korean defector who sought asylum in Zambia with her husband and third secretary Hyeon Seong-il in 1996. The story, submitted in January 2009, took two more years to win the award while the information was verified.The scoop was painful to the NIS. They even harbored suspicions about Choi because of her connections with the North.In 2009, a North Korean defectors’ online post reported currency reforms in North Korea before the NIS. Having been embarrassed repeatedly, the NIS changed their procedures.Nowadays, they report to the president any North Korean “intelligence,” and once it becomes “information,” they make it public immediately.A notable case was the purge of Jang Song-thaek in 2013. When the NIS detected that Jang’s close aides were executed and his safety was unaccounted for, they reported “Signs of Jang losing power” to the National Assembly’s intelligence committee on December 3.Nine days later, Jang was executed.On May 13, the NIS revealed that Vice Marshal Hyon Yong-chol was executed, possibly for falling asleep at a meeting with Kim Jong-un. North Korea criticized the report as a “foul-smelling curse” and some foreign media raised suspicions that Hyon was still appearing on North Korean television.
I play the keyboards in a blues band, and our drummer has a sticker on his kit saying “Stop Californication of Texas Music.” The mayor of Austin, Steve Adler, is a Democrat, but he recently warned that, if our city stays on its current path, “we’ll end up like San Francisco,” with out-of-control housing costs. The newspapers often feature gloating stories about the number of Californians fleeing to Texas (eight per day to Austin alone), as an indication of the vast superiority of the Texas way of life. Although Abbott has a lower national profile than his predecessors Rick Perry and George W. Bush, he clearly has similar ambitions. In January, when the legislative session began, he latched on to a proposal, already adopted by ten other states, to call a constitutional convention aimed at reining in the power of the federal government. Abbott rebranded it as the Texas Plan. It would require the federal government to balance its budget, as Texas does, and would prohibit federal agencies—such as the E.P.A. and the Department of Labor—from issuing regulations that override state laws. As Texas’s attorney general, from 2002 to 2015, Abbott was on the losing end of many lawsuits that he filed on behalf of the state against the U.S. government—he objected to the Affordable Care Act, and to many federal environmental controls. Under the Texas Plan, the U.S. Supreme Court would need a supermajority of seven Justices to strike down a state law. Abbott designated the Texas Plan an emergency item, and it quickly passed the legislature and was signed into law, worrying mainstream Republican lawmakers in Washington, who fear that, in the current political climate, such efforts could lead to a runaway assault on federal authority. Another emergency item on the Governor’s list for the 2017 session was ethics reform, but many legislators saw the move as hypocritical. Lyle Larson, a centrist Republican state representative from San Antonio, told me, “Some of the most egregious violations are in the governor’s office. It’s well known that pay-for-play has been going on in that office for years. For you to be on the Parks and Wildlife board, for instance, or to be a regent at the university, you have to make significant contributions”—to Abbott’s campaign fund.
Docs: DOJ Provided Support for Trayvon Rallieshttp://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/10/Judicial-watch-documents-DOJOn Wednesday, Judicial Watch announced that the Department ofJustice had turned over documents in response to a Freedom ofInformation Act request showing that the Community Relations Service(CRS), a small division of the DOJ, was sent to Sanford, Florida afterthe Trayvon Martin shooting to help manage rallies and protests.In April 2013, Breitbart News' Lee Stranahan first www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/04/18/Spies-Muscle-Hol role of the CRS in Sanford.The new documents show that from March 25 through April 12, 2012, theCRS spent thousands of dollars helping organize and “work” marches anddemonstrations regarding Trayvon Martin. Tasks included:Working “marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to theshooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watchcaptain”;Providing “support for protest deployment in Florida”;Providing “technical assistance to the City of Sanford, eventorganizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally onMarch 31”;Providing “technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford.”In April, the CRS articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-04-15/news/os-trayvon-mart “set up a meeting between the local NAACP and elected officials thatled to the temporary resignation of police chief Bill Lee according toTurner Clayton, Seminole County chapter president of the NationalAssociation for the Advancement of Colored People.”Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton commented, “These documentsdetail the extraordinary intervention by the Justice Department in thepressure campaign leading to the prosecution of George Zimmerman. Myguess is that most Americans would rightly object to taxpayers payinggovernment employees to help organize racially-charged demonstrations.”

Mac Miller (legally Malcolm James McCormick), is a rapper from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He is also an accomplished music producer (under the name Larry Fisherman), and has used several alternate names for music releases such as Larry Lovestein and Delusional Thomas. He is also a moderately proficient pianist, guitarist, drummer, and bassist (reportedly all self-taught). He began rapping at age 14 in 2006, and began releasing music by 2007. He has been one of the most successful independent-label musicians ever, his first studio album “Blue Slide Park” being only the second ever independently distributed debut hip-hop record to hold number one on the Billboard 200 upon release. On his first ever tour he sold out every venue along the way, a highly commendable feat for any performer. Mac Miller is notable for his extensive use of mixtapes and EP’s to release music as opposed to studio albums, having released 12 of the former and only 2 of the latter. Mac Miller initially found success as mostly popular amount teenager, crazy party life style described in his music and carved his niche in mainstream radio music despite his independent musician status. However, a change occurred that was hinted at in his 2012 mixtape “Macadelic”, and came to fruition in his 2013 album “Watching Movies With The Sound Off”. It marked a highly noticeable change in the artist’s lyrical content, with it starting to lean much more heavily towards deep philosophical life analysis, and brutally honest introspection, as well as experimentation musically and in the realm of production. This theme of change has been continued by his recent close collaboration with fringe artists such as the hip-hip collective Odd Future, and in his subsequent releases “Delusional Thomas” (mixtape, 2013), “Live From Space” (live album, 2013), and “Faces”(mixtape, 2014). In recent interviews Mac has made clear that he is currently working on a wide array of different projects, so we have a lot to look forward to in the near future from this young talented artist.

I'm large and I'm hefty and I have to be forced but they have to be strong they have to be more in number than one or two Hypnotist: I'm inviting the guides here who know how to do large entities. I'm inviting them to take no action against you that will harm you. Ettissh: Ah no I must be harmed. I am a battle man, a battle man you see Harm is no harm at all to me I have to resist a bit and otherwise if they do not try and harm me they cannot get rid of me Hypnotist: I understand Hypnotist: Before I instruct them to remove you I need to know what you are and where you're from Ettissh: I am not human. Hypnotist: I can't here you
There's been a lot of debate lately with regard to the "Outsider's" place in rap discourse. This has mostly involved race, and it's a really important thing to talk about, because it's 2013 and rap has mutated from fight-the-power underdog to essentially the dominant cultural force. For better or for worse, my 13-year-old white niece from suburban Minnesota probably has thrown an acoustic guitar cover video of "Bandz A Make Her Dance" up somewhere on YouTube. Macklemore is currently long-boarding around the top of the Billboard charts on a song about buying Salvation Army sweaters. A Polish teenager made the beat for one of the best legitimate street raps in recent memory. And as much as fans of "good old days" hip-hop may yearn for like, pillars (I think there's five—breakdancing, molly, Jeremy Scott, 2 Chainz, and cargo shorts), downloading Joey Bada$$ mixtapes doesn't do a whole lot for advancing the industry, but buying Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up with your Hannukah iTunes gift card does. With this shift, naturally, comes a lot of uncomfortable but necessary issues regarding ownership and belonging. To pretend, as B.Dot would like to in his sputtering crusade against the "hipster media's" knighting of Chief Keef as some form of twisted minstrelsy, that white rap fans are not a legitimate part of this community is rather delusional at this point. But to ignore the undeniable ickiness of trap fetishism by (white) people completely naive to the real life implications of "real trap shit" is irresponsible. (This is another story altogether, though, but these articles here and here pretty much cover it) Not much attention, however, has been paid to the outsider status of women—I'm talking about as consumers of rap, not participants, as that's a whole other can of worms.
The key issue in Habermas' ‘colonization thesis’ is that everyday realms of action are increasingly organized, not on the basis of the norms we have mutually agreed (‘principles of social integration’) but on the basis of the money and power that already drive our political and economic system (‘principles of system integration’) (Habermas, 1987). The concern is that the ‘system’ in this respect, is growing in advanced capitalist societies through the extension of state administration and legal bureaucracy into everyday life. This imposes functional rationality on lifeworld interactions (Habermas, 1981), distorting them with system-steering money and power, and creating ‘new’ conflicts and tensions surrounding culture, identity and lifestyle. Not only does colonization threaten the traditions and the moral fabric of the lifeworld (leading to movements that defend existing lifestyles) but also the extension of rationality into new areas of life raises the possibilities for a critical re-evaluation of them (leading to more progressive movements like Feminism and non-conformist Youth Groups). Equally, the extension of money and power as principles affecting the physical environment of the lifeworld itself, supplies the fuel for environmental conflicts (Habermas, 1981: 35). Colonization processes, therefore, provide new sources of struggle and change in agents seeking to defend traditional lifestyles or institute new ones on their own terms (Habermas, 1981: 33). The theoretical cornerstone of the argument is the assertion that system-level changes generate effects at the level of social integration (Habermas, 1987: 305). As the relationship between the state and economy changes in the course of capitalist development, contradictions and tensions arise that create financial and ‘rationality’ crises for the system (Habermas, 1988). Measures to solve these crises, such as the legal intrusions of a welfare state, impact upon areas of everyday life, like the family (Habermas, 1981, 33). The system therefore becomes increasingly complex as economicadministrative processes are specialized and differentiated (Habermas, 1987). What follows is not only a wealth of bureaucracy but, also, a kind of post-fordist fragmentation writ large that leads to ‘cultural impoverishment’ and a ‘loss of meaning’ in the lifeworld, much like Weber's image of the ‘iron cage’ (Habermas, 1987: 302). Habermas, however, is careful to correct Weber's rationale for its existence. For him it is not caused by a unidirectional rationalization (the emphasis shared by the earlier generation of critical theorists, Adorno and Horkheimer), but ‘internal colonization’ (Habermas, 1987: 303). This is Habermas' key to the ‘pathologies’ of advanced capitalist societies.
Denmark will play the host of the Thomas & Uber Cup 2020 and BWF World Championships 2023. Badminton World Federation has just awarded the two events to Denmark. It is the first time Denmark will host Thomas & Uber Cup and the fifth time for the BWF World Championships. Denmark did it again! Denmark attracted two of the greatest badminton events. Thomas & Uber Cup will be staged in Aarhus, Denmark, and BWF World Championships will be staged in Copenhagen, Denmark. The decision was made Thursday by Badminton World Federation, BWF, in Kuala Lumpur. - The decision today further strengthens the partnership between BWF and Danish badminton. Denmark is a skilled event nation and therefore an attractive destination for our major championships. We look forward to the cooperation with Badminton Denmark, Sport Event Denmark, and the host cities Copenhagen and Aarhus, says BWF president Poul-Erik Høyer. Badminton Denmark looks forward to hosting both championships: - We are happy and proud that our long-term event strategy with Sport Event Denmark results in two of the greatest badminton events to be staged in Denmark. The work we each year put into DANISA DENMARK OPEN presented by VICTOR is at a very high level. We look forward to welcoming fans to the Thomas & Uber Cup and the BWF World Championships in world-class settings, says Bo Jensen, CEO, Badminton Denmark. Video: How to build a Main Hall. Sport Event Denmark shares the excitement: - It’s a feather in the cap! The fact that Denmark will stage the Thomas & Uber Cup and the BWF World Championships underlines that Denmark is a strong badminton nation with a solid history when we talk about hosting the major, international sporting and badminton events, says Lars Lundov, CEO, Sport Event Denmark. Thomas & Uber Cup will be held at Ceres Park & Arena in Aarhus – the same location as FZ FORZA/RSL DM, the Danish National Championships, are held. In Aarhus they look forward to welcoming both players, coaches, staff, volunteers and not least spectators from all around the globe. - Aarhus has gained a strong reputation in hosting major, international culture and sporting events. With Thomas & Uber Cup 2020 we continue this solid work, as Aarhus adds another international event to the calendar and creates a badminton festival for the entire town, says Mayor Jacob Bundsgaard.

I dont believe there was. Mr Talbot said Mr Davy ran through a gate into an area he referred to as the helipad, near the roundabout that led to the airport. He shut the gate in an attempt to trap Mr Davy, but realised the fence was open on the side closest to the water. Mr Talbot said: There were many ways he could still exit. There was no gate on the water side to hold him in. He went on to the temporary bridge and flagged down an oncoming truck. I yelled to the driver not to let him in but I figured I was out of range for him to hear. Craig Burchall told the court he was behind the wheel of the truck that Mr Davy flagged down. He said: As I started driving, I noticed he was a little rattled. Nervous. He was kind of anxious. I asked him if he was OK. He looked a little stressed. He said he was stressed. I asked him if I could pray for him, and he said yes. Mr Burchall said he continued to drive, but before he could get off the Causeway a motorcycle overtook him and forced him to stop. He said Mr Davy told him to keep going. He said: Thats when alarms started going off in my head. I couldnt figure out what was going on. Mr Burchall said the rider who was wearing a blue shirt and black pants signaled to Mr Davy to get out. The court heard the man on the motorcycle was Zeko Burgess, who worked at the airport for Bermuda Security Group. Mr Burgess said he was leaving to go on break when he saw customs officers and others chasing a man out of the arrivals area. He added in a written statement read to the court that he got on his bike when he was told the man they were chasing had flagged down a blue truck, which was on the Causeway. Mr Burgess said he rode on to the Causeway, overtook a series of vehicles and forced the truck to stop. He said: The passenger was hesitant to get out but he did. He said he wanted to jump overboard. I told him it wasnt worth it. Mr Burgess said he left the area when the man was arrested by police. The trial continues.
This is just the latest piece in the huge puzzle, but it makes everything look more than possible, plausible. Alongside the bevy of rumors, it looks like Kawasaki registered the Ninja R2 trademark, taking a new step towards the new generation of bikes.Sources in Japan that are close to Kawasaki say that the R2 will most likely be powered by an engine packing around 800cc, with supercharged induction. The mill is rumored to be a more streetable (read affordable) derivation of the 998cc forced induction powerplant that animates the Ninja H2.Kawasaki also showed their Balanced Supercharged Engine at Tokyo last year, and it looks like that lump was so much more than a mere concept. The "balance" thing is rumored to be just a marketing name, with the character of the engine being in fact a mix of usable power and torque produced at a significantly lower rpm than what the current H2 and H2R are capable of.Last year, many rumors indicated that a whole new generation of 600cc forced induction motorcycles may arrive, possibly taking the place, one step at a time, of the current supersport machines, a bike industry segment in decline. Apparently, these rumors are not that far-fetched, as MCN reports relying on the same sources, albeit without the degree of plausibility of the 800cc-ish machine.Finally, the upcoming generation of Kawasaki forced induction may also have superchargers with variable architecture, with the blades of the intake unit changing pitch and a computer controlling the speed and the amount of air that's being fed to the engine. Also, an intercooler is also rumored to be a part of the new bike tech wave that is said to arrive from the house of Akashi.Whether we get to see these new machines at the end of 2016 at the Milan or Tokyo shows or they are scheduled to make appearance in 2017 is still a thing of mystery.
And they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy, to justify the policy."
I'm also going to be taking over the site PR from nefario too as I don't think he's doing too good a job on it. He's slowly improving bitcoin media though very slowly. [snipped - secret/personal] For a few things, in terms of financial planning we are waiting on the accounting. I am still dipping into my savings for my own person costs despite living like crap (although crap in Serbia isn't bad) because it's hard to know how much money we're making with Intersango. Once the accounting comes up it'll be really easy. [snipped - private info] The question is then, after we do our accounting and make reasonable cost based plans (so we don't end up flame-throwing money like in poland). Then we need to factor a bunch of stuff and it's better to wait until we're at that point even if it's just a few days away. The things we need to factor in is whether I should go around opening bank accounts for local options after working on this book and hedging bot together or not. Also, is Berlin the best place for us to be? The friction of moving and setting up is great and so is the cost. I've said this many times before. We're making good money now also means that we should plan well. This should be a long termish set up, not 2 months. Get nice computers and have enough space to work comfortably and productively. If we were to look for a place like I did in Poland with such little time, we're going to be incredibly limited. I found 2 suitable places in such a short time in poland and one ended up backing out on me. If the other one hadn't, we'd have had to be in hotels longer. The amount of bullshit we've seen hasn't just been with banks so let's plan for the worst and stop paying the poor tax. As for employing someone else, 2 days ago I had a really long talk with Mitchell about hiring people and he explained what went wrong with nefario.
Winner Fu Kang was also nominated for his work on RED AMNESIA, so he did have a 40% chance of winning. 20:00: Dai and Chen around for a third award: Best Sound Effects. 19:59: The younger winner, who is the student of the older editor, is absolutely speechless. That must be how winning your first Golden Horse feels like. 19:57: If all those rumors about multiple cuts of NO MAN’S LAND is true, then that Best Editing award…. Anyway, the winner is BLIND MASSAGE, its second win out of seven nominations. 19:56: Dai and Chen now present the Best Editing Award. 19:53: And the Best Cinematography award goes to: BLIND MASSAGE. This is the first win out of seven nominations from the film. Winner Zeng Jian is a second-time winner, but his first win was split among three cinematographers. 19:52: Leon Dai and someone who identifies herself as “not Gwei Lun-mei” (Best Actress nominee Chen Shiang-chyi) now on stage to present. Their first award is Best Cinematography. 19:51: However, another smaller media organization I follow on Weibo is updating live. So….. 19:49: There’s been no confirmation of a Mainland China ban on the Golden Horse award, but Sina Entertainment’s Weibo account has not updated anything since the red carpet. They used to post live updates of the ceremony. 19:48: Wan Qian makes a wish on stage: She says she hopes to return to the stage in the future as the Best Actress winner. 19:46: And the winner of Best Supporting Actress is: Wan Qian for PARADISE IN SERVICE. PARADISE has now won one and lost one. 19:45: By the way, INSANITY has only been shown once publicly at the Golden Horse Film Festival. I don’t think it has a Hong Kong release date set yet. 19:44: COTTON was the film that took 8 years to shoot, by the way. Chang and Lee back to present the Best Supporting Actress award. This is the PARADISE IN SERVICE competition, with two actresses from the film nominated in this category. Trivia: Ivy Chen was nominated at both Golden Horse and the Taiwan equivalent of the Razzies 19:43: And the winner of Best Documentary is: COTTON 19:42: Their first award is Best Documentary. They point out that one film took 8 years to shoot. Another took 10 19:40: Angelica Lee and Chang Chen now on stage to present. Each team of presenters presents two awards.
Speakers’ tendency to pronounce stress-shifting stems with second-syllable stress more than stress-constant stems was not statistically different in syntactically constrained utterances (0.32 vs. 0.01, a difference of 0.31 stems per subject) and in no-frame utterances (0.29 vs. 0.11, a difference of 0.18 stems per subject; CI = ±0.13 stems per subject). Though numerically, the difference in number of second-syllable pronunciations between stress-shifting and stress-constant words in the syntactically constrained condition was larger (0.31 stems per subject) than in the no-frame condition (0.18 stems per subject), two considerations suggest that this difference does not reflect any actual influence of the utterance format on performance. First, the interaction assessing this effect did not approach significance (with an F1 of 1.5 and an F2 of 1.1). Second, note that with stress-shifting words, speakers pronounced exchanged stress-shifting stems with second-syllable stress about equally in the syntactically constrained (0.32 stems per subject) and the no-frame conditions (0.29 stems per subject). Thus, the above-noted difference is due to differences in the control condition (0.01 vs. 0.11), not in the stress-shifting condition. Recall that the point of testing the stress-constant stems is to assess any general tendency to shift stress when exchanging stems. It is not clear why such a tendency would be greater in the no-frame condition, suggesting that this difference is due to random variation. Accordingly, it seems reasonable to conclude that performance is similar in the two utterance-format conditions. As in Experiment 1, speakers tended to exchange stress-constant stems overall more often (197 exchanges) than stress-shifting stems (138 exchanges). Again however, this difference only allowed more opportunities for stress-constant exchanged stems to be pronounced with second-syllable stress, yet they were still almost never pronounced with second-syllable stress. Overall exchange rates were about equal in the two utterance format conditions (183 exchanges in the syntactically constrained condition vs. 152 in the no-frame condition), suggesting no appreciable opportunity differences in the two conditions. Statistical analyses on number of exchanges per subject confirm that speakers exchanged stress-constant stems significantly more often (1.37 exchanges per subject) than stress-shifting ones (0.96 exchanges per subject; CI = ±0.18 exchanges per subject), and that they exchanged stems about equally in the syntactically constrained condition (1.27 exchanges per subject) and the no-frame condition (1.06 exchanges per subject; CI = ±0.23 exchanges per subject).
>He spent all of his time, helping his sisters out with their hobbies, playing, and just general bonding. Although the day started out rough, Lincoln forgot all about his abnormal lineage, and just had fun. It was a good day, a quick day, but good. >After dinner, everyone sat in the living room, Parents and kids, just doing their own thing, Luan talking to her puppet, Lori texting, Lola admiring herself. The usual. >Lynn managed to sneak a basketball into the living room without anybody noticing. >"HeyLincthinkfast!" >"Think wha-ow!" The basket ball hit him directly in his face, making him fall backwards. >Leni suddenly spoke up. >"Be careful with Lincoln's face Lynn, or he might get adopted again!" >The entire room froze, every small noise seemingly vacuumed out into space. >All there was left was the muted gasps of Mom, and Lori, covering her mouth as if to stop herself from screaming. >All 12 pairs of eyes fell upon the 11 year old boy in the room, Whose face turned a shade whiter than his hair. >Leni curiously looked around the room, at all the jaw dropped faces, and then turned to look at Lincoln. >".....What?...." She shrugged breaking the silence. >"Lincoln's adopted?" Lana asked >Luna squinted her eyes at Lincoln. "Woah, wait...what?" >"Lincoln?" Lynn tilted her head at him like a confused dog. >"Uhh Kids!" Dad tried to grab everyone's attention. >"That explains a lot" Lucy replied in her monotone voice >"Well he was always the quiet Loud hehe..oh!" Luan quickly covered her mouth, realizing the sensitivity of this sudden declaration. >Mom tried again to bring everyone's attention to her. >"Okay everyone just calm dow-" >"Well it was obvious, he lacked many of the distinct, genetic facial characteristics that the rest of us share, inheriting his own. Lisa said, examining Lincoln as she spoke." >"Does that mean Lincoln's not a part of the family?" Lola inquired, obnoxiously. >"Girls!" Mom shouted sternly, finally succeeding to distract everyone from their tedious questioning. >The room fell silent again, with only the sound of Lincoln, tremoring on his knees. All of these eyes on him. The pressure of knowing that everyone in his family has just realized that he's not one of them. >He was just some pet, that Mr and Mrs Loud brought home one day. >It was too much for him to take, in shame, he looked down at his knees, his fingers, digging into the palm's of his hands.

Pepper spraying peaceful protesters for being "unsightly" is highly objectionable to me, and I think or at least hope most Americans would share my view. —rfrazier The Ancient Order of Walkers has asked me to remind you of the existence of legal precedent suggesting that use of pepper spray against peaceful protesters committing trespassing is excessive force, and that this should "be clear to a reasonable officer." http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1332957.html —BarnabasTruman It comes down to something very simple. When a police officer walks up and says "Go home, you are not allowed to gather here right now. If you don't, I've got this can of mace," and you say "No thanks, I'd rather keep my seat," you lose all my sympathy. But if I could direct you to how this began, all I did is answer a simple question to the best of my ability with the facts I had at hand. If there is anything FACTUALLY UNTRUE about what I said, I'd be more than happy to hear it, just know you're not going to change my opinion just as I don't expect to change yours. —MM At the time this occurred, the tents had already been dismantled. The students were not blocking access of any type to any police cruiser. The students were told to leave the campus, which they had every right to be on at the time as students. They sat, quietly, arms interlinked in front of the police. The can of pepper spray was brought out, with very little warning, and waved around as a warning for all of 5 seconds prior to being used. It is excessive force, extremely questionable legally, and is completely and utterly disgusting to me. — Wes-P As I said at least three times, the information I had was not first hand, and it was what I had to work with. I would have been there if I could, but I have to work to keep food on the table. Going on mid-week camping trips is not a luxury I can afford. —MM MM, would these protestors have had your sympathy if the police had, after warning them repeatedly to disperse, walked up and shot them all in the head? I hope your answer is yes. Clearly the police had no intention of doing this, and didn't, but my point is that violating a police order, or even breaking the law, doesn't in itself justify any arbitrary amount of force.
Is that fair enough?If the Armenians didn’t make such a big stink about money, maybe I would let Akcam go with his seemingly secret deal with the Armenians. Akcam would have done well to have come clean about the Armenian money supporting Akcam’s lifestyle BEFORE Akcam's money dealings with the Armenians were exposed. It is too late now. The jig is up. AKCAM BLEW IT!Akcam always tried very hard to convey this image to his unsuspecting audiences of an impeccable scholar with honest, genuine research who can even defy his own country and people of heritage, in the name of truth, not money—although his research looked awfully similar to Dadrian’s work who happens to be the director of Zoryan Institute who pays a part of Akcam’s salary. Go figure.Aren’t terrible smells coming out of this relationship where the employee passionately promotes the message of his boss? I don’t know about you, but in my opinion, this level of intrigue should not be acceptable in honest scholarship. It may be legal, but I just don’t find it honest. And I don’t like it. Do you?If you read the UM-Councel Benrud’s letter carefully, you will note that Akcam is not employed as a visiting professor by the UM as Akcam claims to be (see the photo taken at his 28 February 2008 lecture in New Orleans. )P1011434 Now, if this is not “A Shameful Act”, I don’t know what is.Is it an acceptable conduct for any scholar to represent himself as being employed by a major university as a an associate professor when, in fact, he is employed as a “research associate”? Is it truthful? Is it honest? Is it ethical?The high and mighty associate professor, it seems, turns out to be no more than a research associate paid by the very Armenians whose tune Akcam plays. How about that?What I don’t understand is why Akcam wanted to keep this case of conflict of interest from his unsuspecting audiences all these years. After all, does any reasonable person think that Akcam would still be paid by the Armenians if Akcam dared to dispute the OFFICIAL ARMENIAN HISTORY on the alleged genocide?
156. Wendy's visions "expand" as she continues through her maze. First she sees the "bear suit" vision and confronts the trauma of her son being abused by her husband AND of her husband being abused (he's a lapdog to the hotel) by the Overlook and its social structures. Her next few visions show that Wendy has begun to face horrors on a much vaster scale: the elevators of blood, of Halloran dead and the skeletons in the Colorado lounge show her confronting the genocidal past of the Overlook. Whilst early in the film she chirped happily about "all the best people" and the "beauty of the Hotel", here she reels in disgust. 157. Jack collapses in the snow, surrounded by darkness, a single light illuminating him from behind. The shot conveys a sad sort of lonliness. 158. The final scene of the movie is a zoom-in on a picture of Jack in his "past life" at the Overlook Hotel. On another level, the picture represents Jack's fantasy - attainment of which is wholly improbably unless one resorts to supernatural explanations - in which a lowly man and talentless writer achieves the American Dream and all the wealth and riches this entails. The caption at the bottom of the picture reads: "Overlook Hotel, July 4th ball, 1921". July 4th is the official demarcation of the birth of America as a country. A country built on horrors people often overlook. The picture also has a subtle political message. Kubrick peels back the cultural and sociological layers of civilisation (see contrast between the two frozen images of Jack) that function to anaesthetise our senses and shows us the beast that resides Minotaur-like within all of us. The Shining tells us that human beings ar e blind to their true natures but scratch the surface (i.e. remove the civilising and social constraints) and those natures re-assert themselves with a vengeance. Thus the film itself can be seen as a critique of the very cultural and social institutions of government that seek to mask impulses of power and conflict on which civilisation itself was built upon and by which it continues to function today. 159. Jack's pose at the end of the film is similar to the "Baphomet Pose" on The Devil's Tarot Card. The Devil's Tarot Card is derived from Elivas Levi's image of Baphomet.
Most importantly of all, we need to create history. Recall that Hegel models ideas as fundamentally historical: Free structures of thought whose lineage stretches all the way back into antiquity, guided forward by the recollection of past mistakes. Yet in the capitalist dystopia we are quickly coming to inhabit there are no ‘ideas’ anymore. There is no form, no content and no libre; we live in a world where ‘free’ means gratis, ‘form’ means Twitter and ‘content’ means Tweets™. Recall that appropriation is what capitalists do best. The goal of appropriation is to erase history entirely: To focus solely on the eternal now, divorced from all context, leaving us no basis on which to make choices. History, by contrast, gives us the freedom to understand and to choose. If we want freedom we must create a history for ourselves rather than allowing our intrepid usurpers to bury it; we must resist appropriation by refusing to be erased. Understand that when you conduct a career via Twitter you are building a castle in the sand; Twitter is planning to discard your efforts once it’s done consuming them. Use the service insofar as you have to, but resist it however you can. Stop participating in the “ICYMI” culture that renders your work into a newspaper clipping. Your latest project does not need to exist solely as two weeks’ worth of viral bait in someone else’s ‘ecosystem’. The projects you’ve done in the past do not need to languish as half-eaten corpses somewhere in a forgotten database. Create a history for your work by interconnecting it in meaningful and permanent ways (not just in Twitter mentions). Provide paths from the new to the old. Connect it permanently to other people and ideas so that these ideas can grow. Your work is not a commodity; it’s alive. Build a home for it.
Khan is aware of what his supporters see in him, and of both the immediate and the international contexts of his mayoralty. Khan first clashed with Donald Trump last May, after Trump, as a candidate, proposed a ban on Muslims entering the United States. In Tooting, Khan goaded the activists with memories of the populist victories of 2016. “You need to remind yourself how you felt when you stayed up during the night to watch the results of the Brexit vote. I want you to remember how you felt when you watched the American elections in November,” Khan said. “We don’t want to feel that way.” Whenever he can, Khan travels by public transport. That day, he was accompanied by a single aide. He walked back toward the Tooting Broadway tube station, stopping every minute or so to shake hands, or to pose for a selfie. “Let’s do it!” he said each time, as enthusiastic as the last. A woman with a yoga mat said she wasn’t sure about Corbyn. “He’s not standing here,” Khan shot back. An elderly woman pushing a shopping cart raised a hand in greeting. “How is Father?” Khan called out. “Say hello to him from me, O.K. ?” As we passed a brunch place on the other side of the road, Khan hollered to the waiting queue, “Have the sourdough and avocado!” At the station, he checked that this article would appear after the election and predicted that May would win. That night, after breaking his fast, Khan was watching television with his wife when one of his aides texted. Just after 10 P.M., three men in a white van had driven across London Bridge, not far from City Hall, and mounted the sidewalk at around fifty miles an hour, attempting to run down as many people as possible. The atrocity replicated the tactics of the attack on Westminster Bridge, in March, in which four people died. But this time, when the van crashed, the men emerged armed with long knives, and slashed at people drinking in Borough Market, a popular hive of bars, pubs, and restaurants. Eight people were killed in eight minutes before armed police arrived and shot the men. London went on high alert for what the British security services call an M.T.F.A.—a marauding-terrorist firearms attack—of the type carried out in Paris in November, 2015. Khan worked the phone from home.
The human body is even more impressive and magnificent than you can imagine.While we may sometimes look at it and see how weak and fragile it is, we also need to realize the mind blowing wonders we all hold inside ourselves.When our body works, we do not feel, or even notice it is doing anything special, however, it is.As we go about our daily lives like nothing is happening, the body is working, using power, and healing.Here are 7 mind blowing facts about your body.The human brain uses about 200 kilocalories per day, which equates to approximately 10 watts of power. For comparison's sake, that's about 10 percent of the power that it takes to run a 100-watt light bulb. So the cartoon image of a light bulb over your head when a great thought occurs isn't too far off the mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you're sleeping.25,000,000 of your cells died while you read this sentence. It's okay though, your body made more than 300 billion new ones today. The cells that make up your body are dying and being replaced all the time. This happens so often that about every 7 years you have a completely new body of cells. While this is true for most cells, such as the cells lining the stomach, some of the most important cells in your body (those of your bones, your brain, and your heart) don't regenerate much at all, so treat them with care.The speed of nerve impulses varies enormously but the fastest travel at about 250 mph. That's as fast as a Formula 1 racing car! However this demand for speed uses a lot of energy and is found only in neurons that need to transfer information urgently. For example, if you burn your fingers it is important that your brain gets the message to withdraw your hand very quickly.Your entire body is made up of around 75 trillion cells. Each one of your cells is like a small city with thousands of different types of complex molecules interacting with each other to keep you alive and conscious. When you compare this to the 400 billion stars in our galaxy, you can understand just how magical your existence really is.
“But I suppose that is neither here nor there at the moment since it can easily be cleared up at the hospital.”“What?”“You know, your DNA, my DNA. Seeing if it’s all happy little DNA,” said Xander joining them with the drinks. “It’s not that we don’t trust you, it’s just that, well . . . we don’t.” He handed Jack a Snoopy mug. “Milk or sugar?”Jack shook his head, sighed and pushed the hurt away. To be honest he had anticipated doing a paternity test sometime. He just didn’t know if he could handle it if it came out negative. He watched as Xander handed Mr. Giles a Kiss the Librarian mug and settled beside him on the couch with his own that said ‘We heart Snow’.His son, because he knew he was, looked better today, more relaxed than yesterday to be sure. And he looked comfortable sitting next to Mr. Giles, which rankled Jack a bit because it wasn’t him. Who was this guy anyway? And what was he doing here? How did he know Xander? Yesterday’s challenge of impressing the friends wasn’t so fun anymore when confronted with this man.“So when do you want to do the test?” he asked. “I’ve got to get back tomorrow.”“I already set up an appointment at the clinic in town in the morning,” said Xander. “And it wasn’t easy getting a spot on such short notice.”“Oh.” Jack wasn’t sure what to say to that. “That’s good.” And awfully fast. Jack tried not to think about what would happen if it came back negative. He’d been dreaming of this meeting for six months. Of course the reality of it was far from anything he had expected, but at least there was still hope.“So,” said Mr. Giles. “You work at NORAD, Colonel?”Jack glanced up sharply at the man, wondering just why he asked that. He’d never said anything about where he worked yesterday. And he didn’t like that look of mild curiosity either. “And you teach teenaged girls . . . self defense?” he shot back, letting him know exactly what he thought of the situation.To his surprise, Mr. Giles actually blushed. “Yes, actually,” he sputtered. “It’s not what you’re implying.”“I wasn’t implying anything,” Jack denied, happy he’d finally scored a hit. “Just wondering what you’ve got my son doing here.”“Hey! Why should you care?” Xander snapped. “You don’t live here. And even if you are my biological father, so what?
The benefits of labeling aging as a disease Callahan and Topinkova (1998) write: “In short, not only does aging lend itself to be characterized as a disease, but the advantage of doing so is that, by rejecting the seeming fatalism of the label “natural,” it better legitimizes medical efforts to either eliminate it or get rid of those undesirable conditions associated with it.” The goal of biomedical research is to allow people to be “as healthy as possible for as long as possible” (de Magalhães, 2014). Having aging recognized as a disease would stimulate grant-awarding bodies to increase funding for aging research and develop biomedical procedures to slow the aging process (Kelland, 2010). Indeed, Engelhardt states that calling something a disease involves the commitment to medical intervention (Engelhardt, 1975). Furthermore, having a condition recognized as a disease is important to have treatment refunded by health insurance providers (Reznek, 1987). During the last 25 years, by targeting the underlying processes of aging biomedical scientists have been able to improve the health and lifespan of model organisms, from worms and flies, to rodents and fish. We can now consistently improve the lifespan of C. elegans by more than ten-fold (Ayyadevara et al., 2008), more than double the lifespan of flies and mice (Bartke et al., 2001; Sun et al., 2002), and improve the lifespan of rats and killifish by 30 and 59%, respectively (Valenzano et al., 2006; Zha et al., 2008) (see Figure and Supplementary Table 1). Currently, our treatment options for the underlying processes of aging in humans are limited. However, with current progress in the development of geroprotective drugs, regenerative medicine, and precision medicine interventions, we will soon have the potential to slow down aging (Bulterijs, 2011, 2012). Finally, we should note that recognizing aging as a disease would shift anti-aging therapies from the Federal Drug Administration's (FDA) regulations for cosmetic medicine to the more rigorous regulations for disease treatment and prevention (Gems, 2011).

She was working for the GLC and it was about to be abolished anyway, so we thought it must be fate.Now, if you or your partner has been pregnant you will know about the changes the female body goes through. One of them is the enlargement of the breasts - this is necessary to produce milk of course - but Manisha had a large birthmark on her left breast. It was made up of lots of tiny moles really close together, making a dark, raised area, looking something like a relief map of Crete but about four or five inches across. As her breasts grew, so did this birthmark, and it started to itch too. It had never caused any sort of bother before, but this was a bit disturbing, so off to the GP we went. She took a look, asked some questions and said that it was probably nothing to worry about but shed make a note to take another look after the baby was born.This is where the mix tape comes in for the first time. From other posts, this seems to be fairly common - I think thats down to Dr Miriam Stoppard and her babycare/pregnancy books. I think it was in her checklist of things to put in the birthing bag. Anyway, on this little beauty was a load of reggae of course: Marley, Culture, Burning Spear, Misty in Roots, plus a load of punk tracks like Buzzcocks - Ever fallen in love with someone; Ian Dury - Reasons to be Cheerful; Xtc Making plans for nigel; Ruts Babylons burning; The Higsons Conspiracy; Madness My girls mad at me; Elvis Costello (Idont want to go to) Chelsea etc etc. I wont bore you with the full listing.August 1987 she was born - our little Jasmine - and you know when I mentioned 19 year olds in love earlier - well that was as nothing compared to the feeling you get holding your own tiny little child in your arms, well not quite, but different. I cant explain it to you if youve not got any kids, and if you have, then I dont need to .All was well at bean-counting towers. I took a couple of weeks off work and we adjusted to the little one, she seemed to like usin September, the doctor sent a letter reminding us about checking out the birthmark.
SirhcEz is a Master level Nasus player who has played over a thousand games on the Curator of the Sands since Season 3. When he’s not farming stacks top lane, he enjoys singing and playing music, sometimes for his stream viewers! We caught up with him to learn more about how he got into the game, how to farm stacks, and other quick tips for ruling top lane as Nasus.He’ll also be hanging out with us for the next couple of hours to answer your Nasus questions, so ask him anything in the comments!------I’ve been playing since the DOTA days, so when League and HoN came out. I decided to go with League since it was free, and I’ve been playing since S1.‘SirhcEz’ is my name backwards, ‘Chris Ez.’ I originally wanted the name ‘SirhcE,’ but it was already taken so I added a ‘Z’ at the end, cause why not.I’ve been playing Nasus since S3. There’s just something about stacking and doing a lot of damage to other champions/buildings that got me addicted to him. The occasional 1k stacks and 1 shotting squishies are always fun to do also :)Singed or Taric top (but the re-work might make him unplayable on top lane). I was pretty good with the old Poppy, but I haven’t really learned the new Poppy yet. I stopped playing as Garen since Mana Pots’ removal. Kappa.Farm stacks and split push.I feel like Nasus does well against champions that can’t bully too hard in lane nor get free stacks, i.e. Maokai, Malphite, Shen, Zac, Nautilus. It is circumstantial though because people have different playstyles. Some are also more aggressive than others.The toughest match-ups for me are: Quinn, Vayne, Pantheon, Teemo, Darius, and Olaf.Nasus’s main job in lane is to farm those stacks! I try to cap my CDR as soon as possible so that my Q is always off cooldown in order to get those stacks.What’s teamfighting? Nasus needs to split push and put pressure on the map. In the 0.01% you need to teamfight, focus withering the ADC or melee champs that rely on attack speed, such as Irelia and Xin. If you’ve been stacking well, your Q should deal a lot of damage to the squishies.Play really passive in lane and get as many stacks as possible. Build tanky/CDR as soon as possible so that it’s hard for the enemy laner to kill you, and you can stack the wave.
Abstract Gender differences in patients with borderline personality disorder are potentially relevant because they may guide clinicians in assessment and treatment. To date, a number of clinical features in borderline personality disorder have been examined for gender differences. As for prevalence, earlier research concluded that a higher proportion of women than men suffer from borderline personality disorder, although more recent research has determined no differences in prevalence by gender. In addition, there may not be gender differences in borderline personality disorder with respect to specific types of self-harm behavior, such as self-cutting or levels of psychological distress at clinical presentation. However, current evidence indicates that there are notable gender differences in borderline personality disorder with regard to personality traits, Axis I and II comorbidity, and treatment utilization. With regard to personality traits, men with borderline personality disorder are more likely to demonstrate an explosive temperament and higher levels of novelty seeking than women with borderline personality disorder. As for Axis I comorbidity, men with borderline personality disorder are more likely to evidence substance use disorders whereas women with borderline personality disorder are more likely to evidence eating, mood, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorders. With regard to Axis II comorbidity, men with borderline personality disorder are more likely than women to evidence antisocial personality disorder. Finally, in terms of treatment utilization, men with borderline personality disorder are more likely to have treatment histories relating to substance abuse whereas women are more likely to have treatment histories characterized by more pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy.

Here we present the first report3 on an association between exposure to OP pesticides, as measured by DAPs and pulmonary lung function tests in children.
I genuinely felt physically rewarded for that experience. I closed my eyes and my ship blew up, leaving me motionless in space. I almost fell asleep.After this experience I felt energized, like someone recharged my batteries. I wrote down some ideas, and I have to say it was only possible because of my close encounter with a sun. I'm going to continue to find new ways to experience games and music like this. Perhaps make something out of it one day. The Oculus Rift is in my opinion a clear contender in the meditation field.I know for a fact I'm going to sleep extremely well tonight.
NEW DELHI: Anil Kumble , the former India Test captain and the country’s most successful bowler, has been named as the coach of the men’s cricket team, with his one-year tenure to begin with India’s four-Test tour of the West Indies in July. The announcement was made on Thursday in Dharamsala, where the BCCI is holding its first annual cricket conclave, with board president Anurag Thakur and its secretary Ajay Shirke naming Kumble in a press conference.There was speculation that Ravi Shastri , who was team director until April, would be accommodated in the position of batting coach but Thakur said that the remainder of the coaching staff had not been chosen. Applicants for the remainder of the coaching staff have until the end of June to submit their applications, which leaves the BCCI to pick a batting, bowling and fielding coach before India fly to the Caribbean in the first week of July.This is the first coaching role for Kumble, India’s greatest match-winner with 619 Test wickets and 337 in ODIs, and something of a surprise given that he has no prior coaching experience at international or first-class level, which was one of the BCCI’s criteria for applicants. The 45-year-old was the last of the high-profile applicants to throw his name into the hat and, given his gigantic reputation and cricketing pedigree, this sudden development threw the BCCI’s hiring process for Indian’s coach into something of a tizzy.Until he threw his name into the ring, the leading candidate for head coach was Kumble’s former India team-mate Shastri - they played five Tests together in the early 1990s - under whose watch from August 2014 to April 2016 India reached the semi-finals of two major ICC tournaments, rose to No 1 in the ICC Test rankings for eight weeks and beat Australia in Australia in a landmark 3-0 T20I series, apart from winning this year’s Asia Cup. Kumble’s appointment, much like that fizzing delivery which won him many, many wickets for India, is a proper googly.The BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee CAC ) comprising Sachin Tendulkar Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman with Sanjay Jagdale as the conveyor had met on Wednesday to deliberate on the presentations made by the applicants a day before. Kumble, Shastri, Lalchand Rajput, Praveen Amre and Tom Moody were the five applicants who were interviewed after the board shortlisted 21 names from the initial list of 57 applicants.

They used data on past tsunamis and earthquakes, as well as detailed maps of the seafloor—including information on slopes and materials—to run computer models of possible landslide scenarios and identify coastal areas and oil rigs most at risk for damage from landslide-triggered tsunamis. They still can’t predict when submarine landslides will happen, but coastal planners can use the information to guide new development. Such risk analysis would be useful in coastal areas around the globe, but in many places there’s not enough data yet to build the models. To help spur similar risk assessments elsewhere, Wood launched a public database of submarine landslides in July 2015 (6). So far, it has 332 landslides, mostly characterized by their size and shape. As researchers increasingly take core samples from landslides, Wood hopes that more information on sediment types will be added to the database, because she thinks that’s critical to understanding the slides.
In a declaration that was preempted by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, they stated the national interest in terms of assumptions very similar to those developed by council planners in the latter half of 1940. The first and sixth paragraphs read as follows: "This situation, precipitated solely by Japanese aggression, holds unmistakable threats to our interests, especially our interest in peace and peaceful trade, and to our responsibility for the security of the Philippine Archipelago. The successful defense of the United States, in a military sense, is dependent upon supplies of vital materials which we import in large quantities from this region of the world. To permit Japanese domination and control of the major sources of world supplies of tin and rubber and tungsten would jeopardize our safety in a manner and to an extent that cannot be tolerated. If the Japanese should carry out their now threatened attacks upon and were to succeed in conquering the regions which they are menacing in the southwestern Pacific, our commerce with the Netherlands East Indies and Malaya would be at their mercy and probably be cut off. Our imports from those regions are of vital importance to us. We need those imports in time of peace. With the spirit of exploitation and destruction of commerce which prevails among the partners in the Axis Alliance, and with our needs what they are now in this period of emergency, all interruption of our trade with that area would be catastrophic (Shoup, 1974.p. 197, quoting the document). Indeed, even the wording in this statement by the War Council has similarities to the "American Far Eastern Policy" report by the CFR's Economic and Financial Group dated January 15, 1941. That report began with the words "It is to the interest of the United States to check a Japanese advance into southeastern Asia," and then provides the following explanation in the second paragraph: The Philippine Islands, the Dutch East Indies, and British Malaya are prime sources of raw materials very important to the United States in peace and war; control of these lands by a potentially hostile power would greatly limit our freedom of action. Toward the Philippines we have special obligations of a historical and moral nature.
Given n inputs, x 1 , x 2 ... , x n , the problem is to design a circuit that takes these inputs and produces the n outputs y1 = x 1 , y 2 = x 1 x 2 , y 3 = x 1 x 2 x 3 , ... y n = x 1 : : : x n , where is an arbitrary associative (but not necessarily commutative) binary operator. One possible solution is the serial prefix circuit shown schematically in Figure 2(a). Input nodes are on the top of the circuit, with the least significant input (x 1 ) being on the left. Data flows from top to bottom, and we also count the stages or levels of the circuit in this direction, starting with level zero on the top. An operation node, represented by a small circle, performs the operations on its two inputs. One of the inputs comes along the diagonal line above and to the left of the node, and the other along the vertical line feeding the node from the top. A node always produces an output to the bottom along the vertical line. It may also produce an output along a diagonal line below and to the right of the node. Here, at level zero, there is a diagonal line leaving a vertical wire in the absence of a node. This is a fork. The diagram shows a ripple-carry structure. The circuit shown contains 7 nodes, and so is said to be of size 7. Its lowest level in the picture is level 7, so the circuit has depth 7. The fan-out of a node is its out-degree. In this example, all but the rightmost node have fan-out 2, so the whole circuit is said to have fan-out 2. Examining the serial prefix structure in Figure 2(a), we see that at each non-zero level only one of the vertical lines contains a node. We are interested in exploring ways to design and analyse parallel prefix circuits, in which there can be more than one node at a given level, so that there is some parallelism in the resulting computation.
Web posted at: 4:29 a.m. EDT (0829 GMT) From Correspondent Maria Hinojosa NEW YORK (CNN) -- A police officer surrendered Wednesday night to face charges of sexually brutalizing a Haitian with a toilet plunger while the man was being held in custody. "They said, 'Take this, nigger,'" 30-year-old Abner Louima said in an interview from the hospital. Louima, who was arrested Saturday after a fight broke out at a local nightclub, was in critical condition after surgery to repair a puncture in his small intestine and an injury to his bladder. The officer, Justin Volpe, 25, turned himself into Internal Affairs just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, a police spokeswoman said. Deputy Inspector Michael Collins said Volpe would be charged with aggravated sexual abuse and first-degree assault. Collins also said charges against Louima relating to the nightclub fight were being dropped. Another officer involved in the case, identified by a police source as Thomas Bruder, 31, was assigned to desk duty. Collins said only Volpe faced charges Wednesday night. Club Rendez-vous The events leading to the alleged torture began early Saturday morning in front of Club Rendez-vous, a Brooklyn dance club where many of New York's Haitian community gather to relax and unwind. Unfortunately for Louima, he became involved in a confrontation outside the club. Louima was one of two men who police said interfered with officers trying to break up a fight between two women outside a nightclub called Club Rendez-vous. Both were arrested on charges of assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing justice. Louima's lawyer says his client was assaulted by police and then arrested. The police say Louima threw a punch at an officer first. According to Louima's story though, police yelled racial epithets, put Louima in a patrol car and beat him several times before taking him to the 70th Precinct station house. 'Someone should have known' It was there that Louima says the officers pulled down his pants and led him to the bathroom, where they allegedly sodomized him with the plunger and then jammed the handle in his mouth. Louima's attorney, Brian Figeroux, says the alleged abuse should not have occurred considering the number of officers in the station house at the time. "There were four police officers beating, and there were two officers in the bathroom, and many police officers at the precinct seeing what was going on. Someone should have known and stopped this from happening," he said.
And when they went on the clock earlier this month, they wasted no time turning in the card that made him their first-round pick.”All the young guys that I went to see, there’s things that they need to work on to get better. But you can’t teach 6-5, 240,” Proehl said, echoing the post-draft explanation from general manager Dave Gettleman. “If he can grow and develop into the receiver I think he can be, he’s going to be a huge asset for our offense, and for Cam especially.”While sifting through a bunch of talented wideouts was a good problem for the Panthers to have, the success of the receiver renovation hinges largely on if they made the right call on Benjamin.If it turns out they didn’t, the plan could end up being as disastrous as many on the outside have speculated. But if Proehl can mold his new group into something better than what the Panthers had previously, he may find his young coaching career fast tracked.
They both say Tony was merely helping the couple with translation, and raising bail to keep them out of prison. Tony says about half the £8,000 was for bail, while the rest were "fees" for the bail, for his work, and for a lawyer he says he consulted on their behalf. In theory, he says, they could try to get the bail portion refunded. Colonel Teeradej says he will investigate any possible irregularities in their treatment. But he said any arrangement between the couple and Tony was a private affair, which did not involve the police. Letters of complaint to the papers here in Thailand make it clear that passengers are regularly detained at the airport for alleged shoplifting, and then made to pay middlemen to win their freedom. The Danish Embassy says one of its nationals was recently subjected to a very similar scam, and earlier this month an Irish scientist managed to flee Thailand with her husband and one year-old son after being arrested at the airport and accused of stealing an eyeliner worth around £17. Tony told the BBC that so far this year he has "helped" about 150 foreigners in trouble with the police. He says sometimes he does it for no charge. The British Embassy has also warned passengers at Bangkok Airport to take care not to move items around in the duty free shopping area before paying for them, as this could result in arrest and imprisonment. Here are a selection of your comments: A similar system operates in Cambodia. Police arrest foreigners in the street and you are contacted by someone who claims to have influence with the police and judges and who asks for large sums for your immediate release, which doesn't happen. I was even told at my friend's trial that the police would provide witnesses of my friend's offence if more money was not immediately provided. Even though there was no evidence against him and he was acquitted, a large sum had to be paid to the prison authorities for his release.
While the relative number of livestock that have leaked from supply chains is relatively small against the millions of animals that have been exported into approved supply chains where handling and slaughter is done by trained personnel with appropriate knowledge and oversight of humane handling and slaughter procedures, it is the outcome of the leakage from outcome approved systems that is often most severe and upsetting and reminds us why Australia has moved to establish welfare assurance along supply chains in overseas markets. In the absence of oversight and the training and support that comes with approved supply chains, livestock will most likely face poor treatment, handling and slaughter by people unskilled and untrained to undertake the task. In this regard, the manner in which some people treat livestock so cruelly and cause unnecessary pain and suffering, regardless of the origin of the animals, remains inexcusable, even in the absence of proper training and knowledge of appropriate handling. Such brutal treatment has no place in the livestock trade and is perpetrated by individuals outside of Australian supply chains that are not approved to handle or slaughter Australian livestock. It remains shocking for all to see and necessitates urgent action by local authorities and the OIE to immediately improve the welfare of livestock globally. Industry recognises that the leakage of Australian livestock from approved supply chains which leads to poor handling and reflects poorly on our industry and cause members of the public to question our commitment to animal welfare. We still remain the only live export country with a welfare assurance system that places the exporter as responsible for livestock through to the point of slaughter. While ESCAS is at times imperfect, in the main it is working and we are striving to root out those elements that undermine the effectiveness of the system.
http://girls-last-tour.com/ Animation: White Fox Premiere: October 6, 2017 Genre: Slice-of-Life Airtime (GMT+9): Fridays at 21:30 Episodes: 12 Station: AT-X Information Links: AniDB, ANN Encyclopedia, MyAnimeList, syoboi, Wikipedia Join the conversation @girls_last_tour or #少女終末旅行 Preview by Pancakes The world is over, civilization is dead. Yet amidst the ruins of mankind’s post-industrial decadency, Chi (Minase Inori) and Yuu (Kubo Yurika) carry on the struggle of living. From the back of their NSU Kettenkrad, the two girls wander about, in search of no destination aside from the latest attention-grabbing curiosity or the likeliest location of the next day’s meal. Such a forlorn existence is not without its moments though, whether it be tasting a brand new food, experiencing music for the first time, or stumbling across a fellow wanderer in search of their own meaning of life. In a world without purpose, every little ray of sunshine helps these forgotten girls keep soldiering on. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is a funny one to categorize. At face value it looks a lot like Blame! gone dieselpunk moeblob, yet in reality functions more like Non Non Biyori or ARIA—or maybe Sora no Woto with zero action. This is very much your “healing” slice of life—there is no grand plan to save the world, no greater purpose to Chi’s and Yuu’s actions, no answers for the past. SSR is just the story of two girls exploring a ruined world one day at a time. It’s easy to think such a concept would fail badly, but due in part to Chi and Yuu, SSR makes it work. The two girls have a wonderfully warm and humorous chemistry, buoyed by Yuu’s enthusiastic love of anything edible and Chi’s embarrassingly cute fear of heights. Couple this with their persistent questions on purpose, meaning, and life, and SSR yields a hefty amount of philosophical food for thought underneath its barebones exterior. The key however, as with similar healing series, will be execution. These stories can quickly grow boring if improperly handled, and with a novice director in Ozaki Takaharu sitting in the big chair, it’s a shot in the dark what show we receive. Provided SSR can avoid the usual genre pitfalls, it has everything needed to be this season’s dark horse.

Paradoxes fucking everywhere and The Doctor is sobbing from his Tardis.2. (view spoiler) 3. (view spoiler) 4. On Pottermore, (here's an image as a source https://twitter.com/LIBassBunny/statu... - the original post I found it from is from 3 years ago) J.K. Rowling admits that she left a ton of plot holes in the system of time travel she created. She claims to have fixed that over the years, ending the solution with destroying all of them during the battle at the Department of Mysteries. And I think this is great, this is what authors should have the incentive to do when they make a mistake. BUT if she wanted to fix it, why would she approve a script that is built on the foundation of something she tried to erase in her books? It truly makes me question either how genuine her approval is, or the integrity of her character to turn her back on her previous decisions.To sum up, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child BUTCHERED the system of time & time travel created by Jo and I have no words to describe how detrimental this is to the plot.Big secret plot twist I don't want to spoil: (view spoiler) 2. (view spoiler) 3. (view spoiler) 4. (view spoiler) This is ridiculous. This is far too convenient. There is too little information on when this actually happened.

All in all, I'm happy we got this book. I'm happy I read it. I'm happy that some things stayed true and somethings impressed me. But I'm super disappointed that it's so dissociated from the rest of the books plot-wise and that it was very underdeveloped. I will stand by my opinion that this should have been a full novelization of the play, and that would have fixed a lot of the inconsistencies and plot holes.
Introduction Evidence shows that species respond to climate change by adjusting their geographic ranges [1], and such changes are envisaged to increase in the future [2]. Indeed, changing climates have been recognized as one of the main drivers behind shifts in species distributions, and species extinctions, range contractions and expansions driven by climate change currently occur at a continental scale [3], [4]. Biological impacts are expected to be greater in those regions where the rate and magnitude of climate change are greater [5]. It is predicted that arctic and subarctic ecosystems are particularly susceptible to climate change [6], [7], with amongst others an expected decrease in the extent of tundra ecosystems and a northward expansion of temperate climate types [8]. It is supposed that the large expected climate change at high northern latitudes therefore makes species in (sub)arctic regions particularly susceptible [9]–[11], especially the European part of the (Sub)arctics, since this region is the most geographically complex with the most infrastructure and great cultural, social, and political heterogeneity [12]. In addition, (sub)arctic species, such as the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), are physiologically adapted to current (cold) climates, which could make them vulnerable to warming [13]. However, northward range expansions to compensate for southern range losses are limited by lack of land further north, the region being situated at the northern edge of the continent. In order to preserve current biodiversity in the face of climate change, reliable predictions of expected changes in species geographic distributions are of fundamental importance, especially in regions, like (sub)arctic Europe, that are expected to experience pronounced changes. Besides understanding the direction and the magnitude of predicted changes in species geographic ranges, it is essential to consider whether species are able to disperse to potential future ranges. In addition, communities are likely going to change considerably in the future, calling for assessments of climate change effects on all constituent species before community level predictions can be made. Although Levinski et al. [4] studied the impact of future climate change on mammals in Europe, their work was at a much courser scale (10′×10′ resolution vs. our 1′×1′ resolution) and based upon the fuzzy envelop model, which is less advanced than the well established MaxEnt algorithm used by us. In addition, they did not study community level impacts.
- Wheeler"Growing up in London, Suzuki has been a familiar prospect dating back to his Jr. Knights days and much is the same with this well-rounded, intelligent player. He continues to be one of the smartest and hardest working players in his age group but he's been able to take his production up to a level that wasn't entirely expected. Another safe prospect to become an NHL player given his "complete" game style, Suzuki can easily be slotted into a middle six role and thrive playing special teams. He processes the game intelligently and has great timing, allowing him to arrive on pucks in optimum locations for scoring chances. Suzuki may never be counted on to carry an NHL offence but, much like Bo Horvat, he'll become a great two-way player who produces more than people expect." - Ross"One of the most likable players in this draft class because of his hustle and consistency. Dating back to last year, he's been one of the most impressive 99's in the OHL ( I had him ranked as the 3rd most impressive rookie last year ). Does everything for the Attack and projects as a very well rounded NHL player too. I think the scary thing about Suzuki though is that he's still pretty physically immature. He's one of the youngest players available in the draft, with room to grow in his puck protection ability and skating strength. Perhaps there's even a late growth spurt in there too. With a strong performance in the OHL playoffs and/or the Under 18's, Suzuki is a guy who I could see sneaking into the lottery." - Otten"Exceptional two-way player who was a key part of the Attack’s 16 game winning streak. Among draft eligible players he’s second in points, first in assists, second in plus/minus, third in faceoff percentage, second longest goal scoring streak of the season, fourth in shot attempts and second in shots on goal. Suzuki is a superb skater with exceptional hockey sense. In my opinion, he’s been the most consistent forward from the start until now." - TianoTotal Votes: 15High/Low Ranking: 3rd (1x)/Outside of the Top 10 (2x)Comments:"The Aurora native has always landed high in my rankings even dating back to his OHL draft season with the York Simcoe Express.
General Taguba is a slight man with a friendly demeanor and an unfailingly polite correctness. “I came from a poor family and had to work hard,” he said. “It was always shine the shoes on Saturday morning for church, and wash the car on Saturday for church. And Saturday also for mowing the lawn and doing yard jobs for church.” His father, Tomas, was born in the Philippines and was drafted into the Philippine Scouts in early 1942, at the height of the Japanese attack on the joint American-Filipino force led by General Douglas MacArthur. Tomas was captured by the Japanese on the Bataan peninsula in April, 1942, and endured the Bataan Death March, which took thousands of American and Filipino lives. Tomas escaped and joined the underground resistance to the Japanese before returning to the American Army, in July, 1945. Taguba’s mother, Maria, spent much of the Second World War living across the street from a Japanese-run prisoner-of-war camp in Manila. Taguba remembers her vivid accounts of prisoners who were bayonetted arbitrarily or whose fingernails were pulled out. Antonio, the eldest son (he has six siblings), was born in Manila in 1950. Maria and Tomas were devout Catholics, and their children were taught respect and, Taguba recalls, “above all, integrity in how you lived your life and practiced your religion.” In 1961, the family moved to Hawaii, where Tomas retired from the military and took a civilian job in logistics, preparing units for deployment to Vietnam. A year after they arrived, Antonio became a U.S. citizen. By then, as a sixth grader, he was delivering newspapers, serving as an altar boy, and doing well in school. He went to Idaho State University, in Pocatello, with help from the Army R.O.T.C., and graduated in 1972. As a newly commissioned second lieutenant, he was five feet six inches tall and weighed a hundred and twenty pounds. His Army service began immediately: he led troops at the platoon, company, battalion, and brigade levels at bases in South Korea, Germany, and across America. (He married in 1981, and has two grown children.) In 1986, Taguba, then a major, was selected to attend the College of Naval Command and Staff at the Naval War College, in Newport, Rhode Island. While there, he wrote an analysis of Soviet ground-attack planning that became required reading at the school. He was promoted, ahead of his peers, to become a colonel and then a general.

The first time Tysk worked with wood was to ramp up the unique-factor of one of her own costumes. Cid Highwind from the Square Enix classic Final Fantasy 7 is not an uncommon character to find in the cosplay wild; his outfit is simple, the character is iconic among JRPG fans and the game itself is one of the most popular of all time. Tysk wanted to dress up as Cid, and was determined to make herself stand out from other Cid cosplayers. So she suited up, grabbed some wood and paint and clay, and made herself the character's trademark spear. Once she knew she could successfully make props, she decided to share her new skills by making weapons for her friends. Over the span of a few months, she shaped hunks of wood and plastic into daggers, swords, claws and even a realistic chainsaw. "I just did stuff," she says. "I looked at pictures of other props and of objects I wanted my props to look like, and I just did it. I went out and bought all the materials and experimented until I was happy with what I had." Tysk had been working as a librarian at MIT, making props in her spare time. Weekdays after work she would go home, make dinner and immediately get to work sanding or painting. Sometimes she would spend her lunch breaks in a back room of the library, building prop prototypes from dismantled cardboard boxes. Tysk met Shane, an MIT physicist with an affinity for crafting lasers and drinking good beer, in 2009. They were married that fall, and the following year she quit her librarian job to make props full time. Shane has been incredibly supportive of her hobby, she says. She knows she's lucky. And from the way he looks at her, Shane feels the same way. "I remember the first person to ever email me for a prop," Tysk says. "It was for a sword from a Fire Emblem game. I charged them $100 because I was just starting out and I had no idea if I could make it well. It was a trial by fire." Tysk's customer was delighted with the prop, toting it to conventions and no doubt attracting the attention they sought with the customized prop. Nearly four years later, Tysk takes regular commissions from people who hear about her craftsmanship through word of mouth or through her Facebook page and DeviantArt profile.
Kommineni argues that Uber and Lyft are artificially boosted by venture capital and that its discounts may not be sustainable. Indeed, there are plenty of analysts who reckon that ride hailing, despite its popularity among riders, may not in fact be a great long-term business (Uber has run up huge losses as it’s expanded around the globe). One analysis showed that passenger fares covered only 41% of Uber’s costs in the financial year to September 2015; the rest was subsidized by venture capital. The Platform Cooperative Of The Future Arun Sundararajan, a professor at NYU and author of The Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism, argues that “platform cooperatives” may be good options for cities. Though co-ops can have coordination and consistency problems, they tend to be fairer to their participants and retain value within their networks. There are plenty of examples of successful cooperatives in other industries: New York is home to Cooperative Home Care Associates, a 2,000-person, $60 million home health aid company run by its workers. Sundararajan believes ride hailing ultimately will be a low-margin, high-volume business, with low barriers to entry. The cost of building an app is coming down all the time, he says, making defending a market position harder and harder for Uber and Lyft and giving more opportunities for workers who want to work for themselves. In fact, there are even open-source versions available today, and decentralized blockchain-based networks are possibilities for the future. “There could be a political advantage for Sadiq Khan in having the first large-scale driver-owned-and-operated ride-hailing platform. I see that as a significant benefit,” Sundararajan says. Brooks Rainwater, who oversees research at the National League of Cities, thinks it’s unlikely U.S. cities will embrace the cooperative model–for now. Though its surveys show that officials have significant public safety concerns about the sharing economy, he doubts they will want to compete with privately funded rivals. “There are some cities that would like to take back some power from the ride-hailing companies. But in other places , where they don’t have strong taxi cab systems, they see Uber and Lyft providing services that constituents really want,” he says.

BY FRANCES [email protected] -- It's been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He's sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and ``Israeli mercenaries'' are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.``We are being threatened with death,'' he said in an interview with The Miami Herald, adding that mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy where he has been holed up since Monday and assassinate him.``I prefer to march on my feet than to live on my knees before a military dictatorship,'' Zelaya said in a series of back-to-back interviews.Zelaya was deposed at gunpoint on June 28 and slipped back into his country on Monday, just two days before he was scheduled to speak before the United Nations. He sought refuge at the Brazilian Embassy, where Zelaya said he is being subjected to toxic gases and radiation that alter his physical and mental state.Witnesses said that for a short time Tuesday morning, soldiers used a device that looked like a large satellite dish to emit a loud shrill noise.Honduran police spokesman Orlin Cerrato said he knew nothing of any radiation devices being used against the former president.``He says there are mercenaries against him? Using some kind of apparatus?'' Cerrato said. ``No, no, no, no. Sincerely: no. The only elements surrounding that embassy are police and military, and they have no such apparatus. ''Police responded to reports of looting throughout the city Tuesday night. Civil disturbances subsided Wednesday afternoon, when a crush of people rushed grocery stores and gas stations in the capital.Israeli government sources in Miami said they could not confirm the presence of any ``Israelis mercenaries'' in Honduras.Zelaya, 56, is at the embassy with his family and other supporters, without a change of clothes or toothpaste. The power and water were turned back on, and the U.N. brought in some food. Photos showed Zelaya, his trademark cowboy hat across his face, napping on a few chairs he had pushed together.``Look at the shape he's in -- sleeping on chairs,'' de facto President Roberto Micheletti told a local TV news station.Micheletti took Zelaya's place after the military, executing a Supreme Court arrest warrant, burst into Zelaya's house and forced him into exile.
Habitat: moist areas (often found near poison-ivy) Poison-ivy rash is caused by an oil (named “urushiol” meaning lacquer in Japanese) found in the root, stem, leaf, and fruit of the plant. Urushiol is released when the plant is bruised, making it easy to contract the rash (known as Rhus-dermatitis) in the spring and early summer when the leaves are tender and easily broken. The oil may be deposited on the skin by direct contact with the plant or by contact with contaminated objects, such as shoes, clothing, tools, and animals. Severe cases have occurred from sap-coated soot in the smoke of burning plants. Direct contact is needed to release urusiol, so stay away from forest fires, direct burning, or anything else that can cause the oil to become airborne. It takes only one nanogram (a billionth of a gram) to cause the rash and urushiol (a non-volatile oil) stays active on any surface, including dead plants, from one to five years. Within half an hour after contact the oil fixes to skin proteins, it penetrates the top layer of skin and binds to cells deep in the epidermis. Any solvent or soap will remove urushiol oil from the skin prior to bonding so by thoroughly washing with soap you may prevent a reaction. However, once bound or fixed to cell membranes this oil is virtually impossible to wash off. Once the oil is fixed the body goes into action, T-cells are alerted, and an immune response is initiated. The body releases defensive chemicals that cause the redness, itching, and blistering. The rash and blister fluid don’t come from poison-ivy at all but are produced by our own immune system. If poisoning develops, the blisters and red, itching skin may be treated with calamine lotion, Epsom salts, aloe vera (fresh from the plant), or bicarbonate of soda to keep symptoms under control. By far your best bet is to make use of an annual plant called jewelweed—but the trick is to be pro-active by making the medicine ahead of time. Jewelweed is an annual, meaning that it flowers, produces seeds, and then dies all in one year. If you know what you are looking for, you can use it fresh by picking some of the leaves and a little of the stem, then crush these plant parts and rub the juice directly on the affected area.
The first and most important aspect of acoustics is the size and shape of the room itself. Shape is as important as size but in some ways it is more important than others. When a room has parallel walls (like almost all rooms), sound gets caught bouncing back and forth between all the parallels walls. Some sound waves are cancelled out by their own reflection of the walls while others are reinforced. This interference changes according to the position of the sound source and the listener (microphones included). That stated, having a room where all would-be 90 degree angles are offset by 10-20 degrees will drastically reduce the redundant reflections between walls and thereby almost eliminating "standing waves" or waves that are reinforced to the point they create a "boomy" sound. It is not recommended to have angles of less than 70 degrees because low frequencies like to congregate in corners. The tighter the corner, the more bass tends to build up in them. There is an entire industry built around sound absorption just for corners but this will be covered at a later time. To further explain standing waves, it is said that a sound traveling from the speaker past the listener and bouncing off the back wall will come back past the listener increasing the volume at that particular frequency by 3 Decibels (AKA dB). Decibels are a parabolic function of sound energy where 3dB equals a factor of 2. That is, a sound increased 3dB in sound is doubled in power. This is of course an ideal which is physically impossible because after all no reflection of energy is 100% efficient but the effect can be drastic enough that rounding to 3dB is acceptable. What most people fail to realize is that the standing wave will also reflect off of the front wall and back to the listener causing the overall sound to be further reinforced. This back and forth motion will reach a point of diminishing return of course but the standing wave itself can still be over 9dB louder than non-standing waves in extreme cases. These standing waves are a function of the room's dimensions measured against the speed of sound. Since the frequency of the standing wave has a direct correlation to the distance the sound travels within the room, it is commonly called a "room mode".
When questioned about her name Vi would never tell people that its all over a teddy bear or because thats the age her parents left her, so she just says "it stands for Vi". Now Ekko and his crew kept getting into problems and soon after Ekko kicks Jinx out. He had a crush on her but she had to much of a passion for her guns. Vi ended up joining some bad people and got her self stuck in a situation in a mine. To be the hero or villain so she choose to be the hero. She used her fire power to power up some steam powered gauntlets that were left broken. _[notice her fists shoot out steam ingame]_. Now she finds out Jinx [the one who has Tibbers] is out doing all this vandalism and decided to join up with Cait, mainly at getting back at Jinx. The reason why Vi and Jinx and Ekko have such a weird time gap between each other reflects on the time the parted from the group since Ekko can rewind time. Vi left first Jinx second. Original Topic: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3226848 Not saying that story is 100% true but definitely same person. Get Jinxed Video: 2:16 .. TIBBERS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nlJuwO0GDs Proof: Same hair color and style. Notice Annie's eyebrows and Vi's eyebrows the same. What about Vi's right leg? It has grey and black stripes but look at Annie's socks.. they striped too. Is it a coincidence both Vi and Annie have same dress? Annie had a bow in her hair Vi has goggles. Vi's fists resemble huge hands much like Tibber's paws. Arguments: The eye colors are different but most of Annie and Vi's skins have different eye colors but it is still the champ champion. Another defense for this is a lot of times in anime especially when a person loses a power that persons eye colors would change.. so maybe Annie losing Tibbers made her lose a huge part of her power causing her eye color to revert back to her natural born eye colors. I feel Tibbers maybe a huge source of power for Annie. Another argument is how come Annie doesn't attack with fire as Vi. BUT after farther investigation of this I realized Vi's has a temperature guage on her Fist that may be because her Fist's are actually powered by Fire and that is used to keep it going.
German draughts (or Dame) 8×8 12 Yes Black Any sequence may be chosen, as long as all possible captures are made. Kings stop on the square directly behind the piece captured and must continue capturing from there as long as possible. Turkish draughts 8×8 16 N/A White A sequence must capture the maximum possible number of pieces. Also known as Dama. All 64 squares are used, dark and light. Men move straight forwards or sideways, instead of diagonally. When a man reaches the last row, it is promoted to a flying king (Dama), which moves like a rook (or a queen in the Armenian variant). The pieces start on the second and third rows. It is played in Turkey, Kuwait, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Greece, and several other locations in the Middle East, as well as in the same locations as Russian checkers. There are several variants in these countries, with the Armenian variant (called tama) allowing also forward-diagonal movement of men. Myanmar draughts 8×8 12 White A sequence must capture the maximum possible number of pieces. Players agree before starting the game between "Must Capture" or "Free Capture". In the "Must Capture" type of game, a man that fails to capture is forfeited (huffed). In the "Free Capture" game, capturing is optional. Tanzanian draughts 8×8 12 Yes Not fixed Any sequence may be chosen, as long as all possible captures are made. Captures are mandatory. When either a king or a man can capture, there is no priority.
Once a trial began, there were many more possible opportunities for discretion to be employed by lesser men. Although Hay assumes class homogeneity among judges and juries, in reality this was far from the case. A great landed gentleman would have different interests than someone who merely fulfilled the £10 a year property requirement to sit on a jury, and to assume this "propertied elite" is acting as a class-for-itself in the law courts is to ignore tensions that emerged between juries and judges. The juries were not simply the passive instruments of the judges' will, as was shown by tensions between the two groups in libel cases towards the end of the century.8 Langbein has pointed out that were the ruling class setting out to engineer a conspiracy to subvert criminal law entirely to their own ends, it is strange that they left the petty jury in place. The jury had the power to return a partial verdict which would effectively reduce a punishment from death to transportation. This decision was being made by the middling sort, not the elite, and an explanation must be sought for their clemency (which seemed to contradict the apparent wish of Parliament to increase the number of capital sentences). The middling sort was involved in a lot of other aspects of local administration, especially the poor law – a desire not to have the dependents of an executed villain thrown on the parish may have influenced their decision. King notes that the existence of dependents was indeed often noted as a reason for petitions after a verdict had been passed (in 41 out of 136 cases he examined), and that people aged over thirty were less likely to be hanged.9 The elite had defined the rules of the game through legislation, but room for flexibility existed in which the lesser men on the petty jury could tinker with them to employ the law to their own ends.
Eighty-eight have since been tracked down and those behind this case are hoping the publicity will provoke more questions, our correspondent says. Rivas and Gomez have not commented publicly on the case.
The key revelation is that Lehman as of late 2007 was routinely using repo transactions at the end of the quarter to mask how levered it truly was: Lehman regularly increased its use of Repo 105 transactions in the days prior to reporting periods to reduce its publicly reported net leverage and balance sheet.2850 Lehman’s periodic reports did not disclose the cash borrowing from the Repo 105 transaction – i.e., although Lehman had in effect borrowed tens of billions of dollars in these transactions, Lehman did not disclose the known obligation to repay the debt.2851 Lehman used the cash from the Repo 105 transaction to pay down other liabilities, thereby reducing both the total liabilities and the total assets reported on its balance sheet and lowering its leverage ratios. Yves here. The stunning bit is these “repos” were actually a conventional type of repo, despite the name, but Lehman was engaging in blatant misreporting, treating these “repos” (in which a bank still shows them on its balance sheet as sold with the obligation to repurchase) as sales. Note that at the time (as the report notes) analysts and others kept probing at the seeming miracle of Lehman’s deleveraging in a difficult market. This ruse may also square the circle on a Lehman leak we broke in 2007. A former Lehman MD had reported that most of the deleveraging that had occurred at the end of 2Q 2008 had resulted from the placement of $55 billion of assets with newly-formed entities in which Lehman retained a 45% ownership interest and were operated by former Lehman employees. To put it mildly, these were off balance sheet entities that strained the idea of independence. Bloomberg got hold of the story, and Lehman asserted that only $5 billion of assets had actually been transferred. I am now wondering whether the $55 billion were indeed transferred precisely as the source had said originally (he in turn had been told this by several people at Lehman) but that most of it was via this type of repo, and then re-materialized on Lehman’s balance sheet once the quarter end had passed (the Examiner’s report notes that the amount that Lehman moves off its balance sheet at the end of 2Q 2008 was $50.38 billion, which tallies with the difference between what the Lehman MD said had been moved off balance sheet versus what they fessed up to when asked by Bloomberg) .
Although German economy was an international juggernaut that “managed to produce most of the industrial requirements of the war,” the nation simply, “failed to secure a sufficiency of food.”[11] With continued fighting on two fronts and supplies restricted by the British blockade, German food shortages at home and for troops became increasingly troublesome issues. During the winter of 1916 and 1917, such problems reached new levels in a period known as the Turnip Winter.
Despite the fact that both men and women commit violence against the opposite sex with comparable frequency, as shown above, governmental bodies promote campaigns that identify only men as the perpetrators and only women as the victims of violence. In my state of Massachusetts, the government's own web site features something called "VETO: Violence-free Education Training and Outreach." This government program asks "men to take the pledge, wear a small white ribbon as a symbol of men´s opposition to men´s violence against women, and enter into a dialogue about men´s violence against women." The pledge reads: "I pledge never to commit, condone, or remain silent about violence against women." If one goes to the home page of the official web site of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and uses its search feature to search for "violence against women" (in quotation marks) one finds 1,130 results. Replace "women" with "men" in the same search and one finds only two results, the first of which links back to the VETO page that is all about violence against women. Misandry Is Being Used to Foment Violence Between Men and Women Decades of the promotion of misandry has led to the creation of organizations of men and women devoted to opposing misandry. These organizations are collectively known as part of the Men's Rights (or, as some are starting to call themselves now to emphasize that they are for human, not just "men's," rights) Men's Human Rights movement. Members of this movement are often known as Men's Rights Activists (or MRAs). Radical feminists who interpret everything in the framework of male-benefitting and male-privileging "patriarchy" accuse these anti-misandry organizations of being anti-women, and call on women to fight men in these organizations violently. An example of this is the recent declaration made by a feminist group that self-identifies as "revolutionary" and on the side of "proletarians"--the Toronto-based "Revolutionary Students Movement" that calls on its followers to "physically challenge" Men's Rights Activists, writing: "Unfortunately, men’s rights activist and the organizations they politically affiliate themselves with hold other anti-modern, proto-fascist sentiments such as opposition to same sex marriage, immigration, women in the workplace and the economic advancement of non-white citizens.
What would Rund say? ROSA: And your wife, Stefan! — Well, adieu, — we’re going. (Exits with Klagenfurter.) FRAU LASSMANN: Come on, Ernst! (Lassmann is lead from the bench, takes his leave.) SCHENK (at the same time, aside to Flora): You’re coming with me, right? FLORA: No, I’m going to join the Lassmanns. SCHENK: But — why? FLORA: You have to stay to the very end and keep working on Seebald. SCHENK: I hoped you would come with me today. FLORA: Be understanding, Raffael. I’ll definitely come to you tomorrow morning, very early. Think of the work and do your part! SCHENK (gives her his hand): Alright, then. Good bye, until tomorrow. FLORA: Until tomorrow. — Farewell, Trotz and Dietrich! TROTZ: You too, Flora! You young ones must make it happen! DIETRICH: Oh, we are still young too, when it matters. FLORA: Come now, Lassmann! — Good night, comrades. — Into battle! (Exits with Lassmann.) SEEBALD: But don’t forget love. TROTZ: That’s a woman. With a thousand workers like that girl, I would turn the world upside down. LECHAROV: Over by us in Russia — the women provided the best fighters for our revolution. They were the movement’s fire — and they went to their deaths, our women students, by the hundreds, as if they were used to dying. SCHENK: Over here Flora is unfortunately the great exception. SEEBALD: But she won’t remain so. The example fosters emulation. The will to good is not satisfied with one heart. Through the mouth of one it passes into others. The ideal constantly reproduces itself from out of itself. SCHENK: But only once it has become action. TROTZ: If only the educated youth would finally understand the hour! DIETRICH: The students? — Those delinquents! — You can search high and low to find one that’s any use. SEEBALD: That is unfortunately true. The academic youth in Germany has lost its ideals. The cult of violence has ruined them. SCHENK: They are bourgeois, — that is all. LECHAROV: I will tell you what is my opinion. By us in Russia the male and female students were the carriers of the great ideas. That was because the intelligentsia were persecuted, because the intellect is always a danger to brutality, and because the Czar’s state was built on brutality. In Germany the student body is no longer the champion of intellect, but of interest. TROTZ: Of capitalist interest. LECHAROV: Yes, that’s what I mean.
DAILY PLANET CITY ROOM - DAY Journalists look up from there keyboards, as the ROOM begins to SHAKE. EXT. METROPOLIS PARK The ground shakes; thunderous roars emit from the hole. INT. PERRY WHITE'S OFFICE - DAY Lois looks slightly panicked. Clark unbuttons his collar. LOIS Earthquake? SUPERMAN Can't be - I checked the crustal plates just last month. INT. METROPOLIS SEWER SYSTEM At a dank and dripping cross section, a pair of SEWER WORKERS check a pipe that's broken loose. The tunnel begins to shake violently, and the sewerage begins bubbling. The workers look at it, then head for the manhole. Suddenly, something erupts from the muck, looming huge in the shadows behind the fleeing workers. Whatever it is pulls them beneath the sewerage. EXT. METROPOLIS PARK - DAY Suddenly, the GROUND EXPLODES, throwing passersby flying, leaving a six foot crater. INT. PERRY WHITE'S OFFICE - DAY Perry bursts in, as Clark quickly re-buttons his collar. PERRY There's a report of an explosion in the sewer beneath Metropolis Park! LOIS (grabbing Clark) We're on it, Chief. She pulls Clark out of the office at a speedy clip. EXT. STAIRWELL - DAY The door flies open and Lois and Clark rush in. Lois slams the door closed behind her. LOIS Sounds like a job for... CLARK (pulls off jacket) I want you to do me a favor -- whatever you do, stay away from Metropolis Park. I've got a bad feeling about this. LOIS I've got a good feeling that whatever it is is news. And me being a journalist... CLARK Lois -- no! Lois looks in to his eyes. He seems almost afraid. CLARK (softening) Last night -- the cliff... LOIS You slipped, Clark. That's all. CLARK But it happened when I grabbed the plane, too. Something didn't... feel right. My strength... (hands on her arms) Just, please -- stay put until I know everything's alright. LOIS (smiles and nods) Go find a phone booth. Clark dashes away, taking the stairs two at a time, then five. In the blur that travels at more-than-human speed down flight after flight, the colors that emerge from the gray of Clark's suit are the familiar blue and red. EXT. DAILY PLANET BUILDING - DAY Through the revolving doors shoots the Man of Steel, creating a SONIC BOOM in his wake, sending the papers, trash and hair of Metropolitans flying. EXT. METROPOLIS PARK - DAY Superman arrives at the crater.
They were to lift a standard of peace to an enemy three times before bringing their case to the Lord, after which he would justify them in going to war. This law was not a law of first attack. It demanded that a righteous people do all they could to proclaim and preserve peace…. As Latter-day Saints, our duty is to proclaim peace. The First Presidency, under President Spencer W. Kimball’s direction, stated: “We are dismayed by the growing tensions among the nations, and the unrestricted building of arsenals of war, including huge and threatening nuclear weaponry. Nuclear war, when unleashed on a scale for which the nations are preparing, spares no living thing within the perimeter of its initial destructive force, and sears and maims and kills wherever its pervasive cloud reaches. “While recognizing the need for strength to repel any aggressor, we are enjoined by the word of God to ’renounce war and proclaim peace.’ We call upon the heads of nations to sit down and reason together in good faith to resolve their differences. If men of good will can bring themselves to do so, they may save the world from a holocaust, the depth and breadth of which can scarcely be imagined. We are confident that when there is enough of a desire for peace and a will to bring it about, it is not beyond the possibility of attainment.” (Church News, Dec. 20, 1980, p. 3.) The duty of all Latter-day Saints is to seek peace and to live righteously so that their peaceful influence can be felt. As we do so, it may be that, as often happened in the Book of Mormon, a small minority of disciples, through faith, righteous example, and effort, can be a significant influence on a larger body of people among whom they live, wherever that may be.

As there's been a lot of residential development going in on Doaks Ferry, the intersection will be turned into a grade-separated interchange (with a Super-2 for the present).This is an S-Curve on the existing alignment of Highway 221 just west of the Doaks Ferry intersection. (facing west) It'll be eliminated as part of the interchange construction. The small substation there will also need to be relocated as part of the project.The a replacement substation has been built with a new access road (facing west). The new location will allow the utility district to expand the substation without fear of future (inevitable) expansions of the highway.Another inconveniently located grocery store is demolished (facing west). It's right in the way of where the overpass will be located.Doaks Ferry has now been closed off for construction. Motorists can still access it from 43rd Ave NW.New roadway being built for the S-Curve straightening (facing west).A little peek at the new interchange (facing west). It's a half-diamond/half-parclo with a roundabout connecting the parclo segment. These improvements are somewhat temporary . . . more will be done here before much longer.That does it for this update. We'll take a closer look at some finished results from this area next time, and then, the big Sorenson Street realignment on the other side of town.-Alex
Early Anglo-Saxon society attached great significance to the horse; a horse may have been an acquaintance of the god Wodan, and/or they may have been (according to Tacitus) confidants of the gods. Horses were closely associated with gods, especially Odin and Freyr. Horses played a central role in funerary practices as well as in other rituals. [137] Horses were prominent symbols of fertility, and there were many horse fertility cults. The rituals associated with these include horse fights, burials, consumption of horse meat, and horse sacrifice. [138] Hengist and Horsa, the mythical ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons, were associated with horses,[139] and references to horses are found throughout Anglo-Saxon literature. [140] Actual horse burials in England are relatively rare and "may point to influence from the continent". [141] A well-known Anglo-Saxon horse burial (from the sixth/seventh century) is Mound 17 at Sutton Hoo, a few yards from the more famous ship burial in Mound 1. [142] A sixth-century grave near Lakenheath, Suffolk, yielded the body of a man next to that of a "complete horse in harness, with a bucket of food by its head. "[141] Pagan Anglo-Saxons worshipped at a variety of different sites across their landscape, some of which were apparently specially built temples and others that were natural geographical features such as sacred trees, hilltops or wells. According to place name evidence, these sites of worship were known alternately as either hearg or as wēoh. Almost no poem from before the Norman Conquest, no matter how Christian its theme, is not steeped in pagan symbolism and their integration into the new faith goes beyond the literary sources. Thus, as Lethbridge reminds us, "to say, 'this is a monument erected in Christian times and therefore the symbolism on it must be Christian,' is an unrealistic approach. The rites of the older faith, now regarded as superstition, are practised all over the country today. It did not mean that people were not Christian; but that they could see a lot of sense in the old beliefs also"[143]
rawdownloadcloneembedreportprint text 7.78 KB In December 2016, I did a 5th Baten Kaitos 100% run. The final time is 341:20:03. Yes, 341 HOURS. - Why is it so long? In this game, items evolve over time. There is an item, the Shampoo, that takes literally 2 weeks (= 336 hours) to evolve into Splendid Hair. Don't ask why the creators decided this, they probably love memes. - But if it takes 336 hours, why is your record a little longer, like 341? Because the items pause evolving when in the menus. The thing is, this is a card-based RPG. So you are menuing nearly ALL THE TIME: when you want to change your decks, when you select your loot at the end of fights, when you are in a shop... Which can very quickly add tenths of hours when you play casually. And I am not exaggerating. That means, I have to minimize absolutely every menus in the whole game, and I have to stay outside of menus while idling. Also, you get the Shampoo at around 50 minutes. Then, when it evolved, you have to fight the Final Boss and the True Final Boss, which takes 25 to 30 minutes. In the end, it means the theoretical minimum time is around 338 hours. But the time spent in menus is always, ALWAYS, WAY longer than you imagine. - Does it mean you didn't sleep for 15 days? No, of course not. That's even the opposite: I slept as much as I wanted. The thing is, when you get the Shampoo, you need to WAIT 14 days. Which means I have 336 hours to do everything else. But I only need like 60 hours to complete every events. So I just need to play the game around 4 hours per day, then I can do something else. Like sleeping, or working. This is even beneficial because I need to wait for some items to evolve, a ton of them take like 8, 12 24, or even 40 hours to evolve, and so spending time not playing is a good thing. But yes, even if this is a speedrun, I spent 80% of the time not playing. - Do you just need to get the Shampoo, and then you are done basically? NO. HECK NO. As I INSISTED before, it doesn't mean it is an easy, lazy, inactive speedrun. You really NEED to go fast in your menus.
Since Others are 'born' in the Twilight it would make sense for them to return there upon their death but the reason for this is never stated in Night Watch. They become spectral-like figures, cloudy silhouettes of their former physical selves. It remains a mystery whether or not they retain any memory or feeling as they hardly communicate with living Others who enter the Twilight. In the second part of the Night Watch, what is assumed to be a dematerialised Other in the Twilight seemingly communicates with Anton as it points him towards the TV tower where the Day Watch has set up its field headquarters as it searches for Anton (who is being framed for killing Dark Others). Anton is unsure if it is a dematerialised Other, or if it is simply a part of a trap put into place by Zabulon.
He was one of the first people I hired at Texas A&M and he's been a huge part of what we've been able to accomplish here. He's earned this opportunity to be a head coach, and I believe he will do a tremendous job with the Jayhawks. ""Coach Beaty is one of the most genuine people I've ever known, and he really cares about his players. On the field, he's a great coach with a lot of energy and he's fun to be around. He will always push you to be your best. ""Coach Beaty is a players' coach, but he knows when to be serious. He is not afraid to put his foot down and tell you what you are doing wrong. He won't let you sit around and be mediocre. He wants greatness from you. ""Coach Beaty developed me as a receiver, but he also developed me as a man. When he came to KU he took me under his wing and really helped me mature off the field. We have a great relationship and still communicate to this day. ""Coach Beaty was a great mentor and coach for me during my time at Rice. He was a very valuable asset to our program. He helped develop me as a patient route runner and receiver who could handle the pressure that was going to come from defenses keying on me. It was a breath of fresh air to learn the game from someone who really understands both the mental and physical aspects of coaching football.

Financial capital may aid creative destruction by redeploying resources from old to new industries. However, it may lack the patient capital to sustain them. The outcome is an empirical issue that varies between times and places, making it important to be attuned to historical and institutional analysis. Just like Schumpeter, Minsky saw capitalism as a system evolving through time, taking different forms under different institutional regimes. After financial speculation caused the Great Depression, finance was reined in during the managerial era, which, in turn, was followed by the era of money manager capitalism, in which finance again was allowed to break free (16). Given the differing logics of finance and production, it is important to ask how firms maintain “financial commitment.”
Jay Cutler and Miami’s anemic offense can’t create big plays. It’s almost as if Cutler, coach Adam Gase and the Dolphins offensive players are playing within an invisible electric fence that extends 15 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Miami has played four games and in each game, their pass plays of beyond 15 yards has decreased from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1. In the defeat of Tennessee, the only “long” pass play was a 17-yard completion to Jarvis Landry. Against the Saints, DeVante Parker (21 yards) and Julius Thomas (23 yards) made a few “big” plays. Against the Jets, Cutler had three passes beyond 15 yards (Parker for 26, Kenny Stills for 17 and Stills for 17). And against the Chargers, Cutler had four pass plays beyond 15 yards (31 for Parker, 31 for Parker, 29 for Stills and 18 for Landry.) Miami’s offense is trending in the wrong direction. Last season, the Miami offense, led by Ryan Tannehill, began to create more and more explosive plays as the season progressed. The Dolphins have three offensive touchdowns in four games and no run of longer than 20 yards in 93 tries. Miami also has one “long” touchdown catch, Stills for 29. This is the opposite of a big-play offense. Gase must figure out a way to get more explosive plays in the run game, in order to give Cutler some play-action opportunities, where so many of Tannehill’s downfield bombs were completed last season. Oh, so this is why the Dolphins didn’t cut Lawrence Timmons after the disappearance. This was vintage Timmons. Attitude. Hunger. Desire. Timmons showed really good recovery and foot speed in this game. In the second quarter, Timmons was moving right but realized a tight end was about to head in the other direction. He planted his feet, turned back and covered five yards in a manner that belied his age. This is exactly what Miami’s defensive corps lacked last season. He is an aggressive thumper. This linebacker corps has been completely revamped. Experience. Speed. Aggressiveness. Nasty demeanor. Timmons leveled rookie tight end Jonnu Smith and then talked trash in his face. This was lacking last season. This defensive group is not soft. It is the opposite of soft. Once again in the fourth quarter, Timmons showed surprising speed and change of direction. On this play, he was headed right and saw the tight end about to catch the ball to his left.
RESULTS An analysis aimed at determining the amount of p-coumaric acid ingested during larval development (Materials and Methods) revealed that, whereas royal jelly is entirely devoid of detectable phenolic acids, honey and beebread in hives at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) contained 5.88 ± 0.12 μg/g and 31.92 ± 5.74 μg/g (mean ± SEM, with a high value of 38.5 μg/g), respectively. For bioassay, we chose a concentration of 82 μg/g, because at this level, it is nontoxic to adults (14) and within the general magnitude of the concentrations we found in local honey and beebread (likely derived from soybean, Glycine max), particularly in view of the fact that p-coumaric acid is one of multiple phenolic constituents found in honey and beebread that may similarly influence gene expression (14). We conducted an RNA-Seq analysis to identify differences in gene expression in larvae reared on a semi-artificial diet with and without p-coumaric acid, as well as an in vitro larval rearing experiment to determine the effects of ingesting this compound on adult female reproductive status (Materials and Methods). To obtain sufficient sequencing depth, and thereby increase the number of genes discovered, and assess with accuracy genes with less abundant transcripts, three samples per lane (with 10 to 12 whole larvae per sample) were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000. After a stringent quality filtering process, more than 50 million high-quality reads for each sample were obtained; about 40 million of these reads for each sample (75.5 to 76.0%) were uniquely aligned to the reference genome (table S1) using Bowtie 2 (17). Before differential expression analysis, the variation between the three biological replicates and between the two treatments (rearing on diets with and without 0.5 mM p-coumaric acid) was assessed using a multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot. Biological replicates of control treatments clustered closely, whereas those of the 0.5 mM p-coumaric acid treatments did not, indicating variation among replicates (in the first dimension) and among library preparations (in the second dimension) (Fig. 1). Despite this variation, the samples of both treatments were well separated in the first dimension, indicating that the sequencing data were qualified for differentially expressed gene (DEG) identification. To investigate p-coumaric acid effects on larval development, we used edgeR (18) to identify DEGs between control and 0.5 mM p-coumaric acid treatments (Fig. 2). Among the 5344 DEGs [false discovery rate (FDR), <0.05], 2663 were up-regulated (representing about one-third of the genome) and 2681 were down-regulated (table S2). Fig.
Dear Kronos community,Both Twinstar and the Kronos team strive to give you the best in-game experience possible. We truly believe that we have the best community overall when compared to other projects. Because of this, we set high standards for ourselves that we expect every Twinstar and Kronos staff member to meet. All staff are held accountable for their actions and behavior. Our GM team of volunteers follow a very strict set of guidelines and expectations when it comes to their behavior. In rare circumstances where a member does not adhere to our strict rules and/or breaks protocol, then we take appropriate action. Unfortunately, earlier today we were forced to part ways with a member of our GM team for breaking protocol.Outside of our head and assistant head GM, each GM has significant restrictions on what actions/powers they can perform in order to ensure the safety and continued health of the server. The actions that Akaay took were “minor” in the grand scheme of the safety of the server; however, these actions broke our strict team rules and as such, he has had all of his accounts closed. For those unaware, Akaay decided he wanted to quit, and before he left he decided to try and get “world pvp on GM island” by pulling players to the island.Our GM recruitment is a very strict process. Potential GMs go through a thorough screening process in which only a select few end up moving on into the interview stage. After the interview, we then investigate the person as best we can including any & all account activity on the server(s) to ensure that the player has no “warning signs” of concern. Only then do we appoint them to the GM team in a very limited role. Unfortunately no one can ever predict that one day a person will do a complete 180 degree change, especially if there was zero history of any unacceptable behavior leading upto an incident.The actions of Akaay are inexcusable. We set a strong expectation of our GMs to be as professional as possible. But, what triggered it? The inexcusable actions taken by this person were only the symptom of a far bigger issue that led to this “boiling point”, which needs immediate addressing.Again, I want to stress that what Akaay did was 100% unacceptable.
Mummy-horse needs help!” “It’s all right,” I consoled her; “but I need to see what I’m doing if I am to help her.” And with that facile reassurance I scooped up a handful of straw & used my handkerchief to bind it around the stick. Then I strode to the sunlit corner of the yard & pulled out my glass, bringing it to a focus on the straw. Hetty stared at me oddly, then retreated to the barn door, her hips swaying lasciviously as she beckoned. There was, I recall, a sultry smile on her lips & a glazed & lustful expression that I, in my juvenile naïveté, barely apprehended was contrived to be seductive. As she stepped backwards into the shadows she raised her petticoats, revealing far more leg than common decency normally allowed in those days. I shuddered. “Won’t you come with me?” she sang. The tip of my wand erupted with a pale glow. I breathed on the straw until it caught. I found myself wishing I had some tar or paraffin; with barely a minute until it burned down, I knew I had scant opportunity. I stepped toward her, a steely resolve in my chest propelling me forward even though my knees nearly knocked together & my teeth clattered in my head. “I’m coming, dear,” I said as Hetty retreated further into darkness, lifting her dress over her hips. She wore—pardon me for the nature of this confession—nothing beneath it, but was naked as the day she was born. Livid bruises studded her pale thighs, some of them circular, with puncture marks at their centers, scabbed-over wounds that hinted at unholy practices. No dance of the seven veils was this, but rather the puppet-show of a diseased and depraved imagination, seeking to corrupt & abuse the feeble-minded & weak-willed & lure them to a fate of unspeakable moral degeneracy. The choking air within the barn reeked of overpowering decay, tempered by a musky odor that set my loins aflame despite my terror. I saw a lamp hanging from a nail just inside the door. Seizing it, I hastily applied the torch (fading to embers even then) to the wick, and just in time: for it caught.

In the longer-term, Philips will address expanded and improved sustainability and performance, including solar-powered systems, for indoor and outdoor public lighting and support economic development through applications that promote economic growth in targeted sectors, like tourism and hospitality.This collaboration in Aruba builds on Philips’ ongoing initiatives and commitment to Latin America and the Caribbean. Last year, Philips was chosen to convert the majority of public lighting for the City of Buenos Aires to LED technology, enabling 50 percent energy savings for the city. In 2009, Philips was awarded participation in Mexico’s groundbreaking Luz Sustentable project, involving the distribution of the first million of a total of 30 million energy saving light bulbs to households. The project is set to cut carbon emissions by over 7 million tons over a period of ten years. In addition, Philips continues to roll out its Light Up Your Game project, an initiative designed to light up community centers with LED solar-powered lighting to 30 semi and off-grid rural soccer fields across 10 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.Based on estimates by the International Energy Agency

The points you should know:It is perfectly possible to end the game in the midgame. If you get a big enough advantage, you’ll be able to wipe the enemy team and push their core. Beware, no advantage is insurmountable, nothing sucks more than throwing away a 3 level advantage because your team got greedy and tried to take the core, when keeps would be a better choice.The midgame is a confusing and chaotic time, where your team has to make a lot of important decisions quickly. Read the points here and try to keep them in mind when you have to make a call. Decision making is hard, and experience will hone your instincts.
From the early 1980’s through 2005 over 2.5 million people died in the Second Sudanese Civil War. Government funded militias decimated villages in South Sudan, raping and murdering their own people. Many in the region gave up their children to the soldiers believing they would be safe and sent to school. But in fact they were sent north and sold into slavery or forced into the military.Close to 30 thousand more of these children, many as young as 7 years old would flee their homes and villages alone; running towards the woods with no plan but to survive that minute and make it to the next minute. They knew they could never go home. Most had no home or village to return to. As they hid they would meet up with other groups of children and wander together. The goal was to leave the country. Perhaps they would make it to Kenya or Ethiopia? Either way, it was a one thousand mile journey on foot. If the soldiers didn’t shoot you, the animals may eat you. Crossing crocodile filled rivers, they pushed forward. These are children that witnessed their family’s violent deaths. Then on the run, they watched the other children die from animal attacks, gunfire and starvation as they themselves became hunted game.With the help of mostly privately funded worldwide relief organizations the Lost Boys managed to emigrate to other countries trying to rebuild their lives. This displaced group survives and has the unenviable distinction of being one of the most traumatized groups of war survivors ever studied.Fast forward to today, after nearly 30 years of the recent conflict (the previous war after British decolonization went on for almost 20 years), South Sudan has become a new nation trying to heal. The new capital, Juba is now home to a very prominent U.N. presence where many nongovernmental aid resources and charities are centrally located. Those who survived and stayed and others who have returned find it difficult to look brightly ahead to the future. In their lifetime they had never known what it is to be safe and happy. They aren’t necessarily overcoming the tragedies and violence of a long conflict. With over 50 years of being on the defense from hostilities and unimaginable trauma, generations of Sudanese don’t know that any other reality exists.The small capital of Juba has electricity and little comforts of the modern world.
Secondarily, this same pleroma is transferred to Christ; it was embodied permanently in Him at the Incarnation (Colossians 1:19); it still dwells permanently in His glorified Body, en auto katoikei somatikos (Colossians 2:9); it is tou pleromatos tou christou (Ephesians 4:13), the complete, moral, and intellectual perfection to which Christians aspire and with which they are filled (Ephesians 4:13, Colossians 2:10 este en auto pepleromenoi. Cf. John 1:16 oti ek tou pleromatos autou emeis pantes elabomen, where pleroma is the state of Him who is pleres charitos kai aletheias, John 1:14, cf. Luke 2:40 pleroumenon sophia). This indwelling emphasizes the completeness with which the Son represents the Father; it is the fulness of life which makes Him the representative, without other intermediary agencies, and ruler of the whole universe; and it is the fulness of moral and intellectual perfection which is communicable through Him to man; it is consistent with a gradual growth of human faculties (Luke 2:40), therefore with the phrase eauton ekenosen of Philippians 2:7, which is perhaps intended as a deliberate contrast to it. One further application of the phrase is made in (Ephesians 1:23, where it is used of the Church, to pleroma tou ta panta en pasin pleroumenou. Here the genitive is perhaps subjective—the fulness of Christ, His full embodiment, that fulness which He supplies to the Church—emphasizing the thoroughness with which the Church is the receptacle of His powers and represents Him on earth. The analogy of the other uses of the word with the genitive of the person (Ephesians 3:19, 4:13), and the stress throughout these books on Christians being filled by Christ (Ephesians 3:19, 4:13, 5:18, Colossians 1:9, 2:10, 4:12, John 1:16, 3:34), favours this view. But the genitive may be objective, 'the complement of Christ,' that which completes Him, which fills up by its activities the work which His withdrawal to heaven would have left undone, as the body completes the head. The analogy of the body, the stress laid on the action of the Church (Ephesians 3:10-21), St. Paul's language about himself in Colossians 1:24 (antanaplero ta hysteremata ton thlipseon tou christou), support this, and it is impossible to decide between the two. The former view has been most common since the thorough examination of the word by Fritzsche and Lightfoot (Col.), and was taken by von Soden (Hand-Comm.).
Salt and pepper the egg if preferred.Build the wrap by placing four asparagus in the center of the tortilla, then topping with .75 oz. of swiss, the cooked egg and 1/2 of a roma tomato, sliced. Fold both sides of the tortilla in toward the center, one side overlapping the other. Place the folded wrap back into the hot skillet where you cooked the egg, placing the folded side down. Cook the wrap until the tortilla is browned and crispy on both sides. This will also seal the wrap closed. Either serve whole or cut into two.

Well, that depends. The further from direct observation the science becomes, the harder it is to produce consensus and conclusive verification. Contemporary quantum physics is an obvious case in point: many options and no agreed way to settle which is right. So, is theoretical physics not a science? Biology cannot decide how life originated on earth, though some options have been sketched out; so, is biology not a science? Psychology is notoriously beset by disagreements, sometimes fundamental, but it would be a stern linguistic policeman who denied the label “science” to psychology (ditto economics and sociology). No science is immune to controversy and polarized opinion, once you get beyond the lower reaches of the discipline. But there is a more telling point to be made, concerning difficult and easy science. Suppose I establish a new field of study called “mysteryonics” in which all the hardest questions of science are to be pursued—from physics, biology, psychology, and so forth. No easy questions are allowed in mysteryonics! Then, clearly, this subject will make little solid factual progress, compared (say) to botany or geography, precisely because it is about the most difficult questions of all. We might say that mysteryonics encompasses the “hard sciences,” with “hard” now connoting sheer intellectual difficulty. Should we say that this subject is not science at all? That seems to limit the word unduly to easy science (we might call this field “easyatrics”). Surely science can come in degrees of difficulty, and it is invidious to withhold the label from the tougher areas. But then isn't the word “philosophy” really a name for a subject that deals with really difficult questions (though sometimes with easy ones)? So the degree of difficulty of philosophy shouldn't be interpreted as an inherent lack of scientific status. Speculative problematic hard‐to‐do science is still science—and it may be necessary and unavoidable science (for any intellectually honest and adventurous inquirer). So long as the questions are real and the standards of investigation are rigorous, we can still claim the title “science.” If physics and chemistry had proved harder to do than has emerged historically, would they not then be sciences? And just because it is relatively easy to establish particular historical or geographical facts doesn't make these studies into science (or the best science). Degree of difficulty is beside the point.
