Arunachal Pradesh has slipped out of the Congress party's hands once again, just two months after the Supreme Court stepped in to restore its government. Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Friday staged a dramatic exodus of Congress lawmakers and joined a BJP ally, leaving only one member with the ruling party.After the switchover, the turbulent northeastern state now goes to a BJP ally.Mr Khandu has taken 42 Congress lawmakers and joined the regional People's Party of Arunachal, which is an ally of the BJP. The one lawmaker who has stayed with the Congress is, ironically, Nabam Tuki, who was replaced as chief minister when the Congress tried to stem rebellion in its ranks and picked Mr Khandu as a compromise.Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said: "The prodigal sons of Congress who have jumped ship have made massive ideological and political blunder and compromise. "In an assembly of 60 members, the Congress had 44 lawmakers and 11 members are from the BJP. Two independent lawmakers who supported the Congress have also joined the People's Party. "The BJP has nothing to do with this. The Congress shouldn't blame the BJP for its own failure," said Union Minister Kiren Rijiju. He added, "If the chief minister and ministers have to wait for days to meet their own leadership in Delhi, how can they stay in such a party? "Mr Khandu took charge as the head of the Congress government in July after the Supreme Court turned back the clock and cancelled every decision that had precipitated its fall in January.The Congress's previous government led by Nabam Tuki had collapsed after the party's rebels, along with the opposition BJP, voted it out in a special session held at a makeshift venue.After a period of central rule, Congress rebels led by Kalikho Pul took power with support from the BJP. That government lasted only five months as the Supreme Court reinstated the previous government. Mr Pul was found hanging in his home in August.

For instance, under "the first things people usually notice about me", I put "THAT IM FINE AS FUCK AN SMART 2". Under "favorite books: "I DONT READ BOOKS, Y DO THAT WHEN U CAN C THE MOVIE". Under "the most private thing I'm willing to admit": "I GOT 12 PEIRCINGS, GUESS WHERE THEY @".

According to the SICOM website, the company provides promoter funding.Two of the beneficiaries of the SICOM loans — Margosa Consultancy and Redect Consultancy — had earlier used funds raised from other UB Group companies to subscribe to the optionally convertible debentures issued by the airline at the time of its last round of debt restructuring earlier this year.About 98% of the assets of these two companies in 2010-11 comprise investments in, and loans to, Kingfisher Airlines amounting to Rs 742 crore.Margosa and Redect are described in stock exchange disclosures as ‘persons acting in concert’ with UB Holdings, Kingfisher’s parent.
The figure shows that our experimental treatment causes the number of social media posts appearing in a broad national policy area discussion to increase by 19.4% on the first day after publication, according to our model-based estimator (Fig. 2A, leftmost red dot). From the red dot in the same position in Fig. 2B, we can see that social media users wrote and published on average 4442 additional posts solely as a result of our intervention. Moreover, the same articles continued to have effects over the rest of the week. On average, these effects declined with distance from publication day, with approximately zero effect on average by day 6 [consistent with (45, 46); see also (47)]. The total effect (Fig. 2, A and B, solid square at top right) indicates that our experimental intervention overall caused a 62.7% increase in social media posts over the week relative to the average day’s volume (or 10.4% relative to the entire week), which on average in a policy area accounts for Americans writing a total of 13,166 additional social media posts solely because of our intervention. The estimates from our model-free approach (Fig. 2, A and B, open circles and open square) offer the advantage of avoiding modeling assumptions but have the resulting disadvantage of higher variance. Yet they clearly convey the same overall pattern in causal effects. [We present detailed uncertainty estimates in (43).] In addition, given the reasonable hypothesis that the causal effect varies smoothly over days of the week, the degree to which the model-free estimates (the circles) vary around the model-based results (the line) provides another estimate of the uncertainty of our primary causal effects. As can be seen from this perspective, these estimates have relatively low levels of spread (or uncertainty) around them and are clearly above zero.
The Daily Star Sunday has learned 102 of Our Girls returned early from Iraq between January 1, 2003 and February 28 of this year because they were expecting.And at least 31 female squaddies were fl own home from Afghanistan for the same reason.Of those, 50 returned early from Iraq or Afghanistan between April 1, 2007 and February 28, 2009.A total of 5,600 women have been sent to war so far and the Ministry of Defence admitted there may be even more cases which have not been recorded.Pregnant women cannot be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, nor can they go to sea in the Royal Navy.The shock numbers were released by the Ministry of Defence after a Freedom of Information request by the Daily Star Sunday.Some will have become pregnant before leaving Britain and others while on their mid-tour two-week rest and recuperation break.But many will have conceived by romping while on operations – potentially breaking forces’ rules.Sex between servicemen and women in Iraq or Afghanistan could lead to misconduct charges if it caused a drop in military effi ciency.Some observers say sex on tour could not be stopped. Charles Heyman, editor of the British Army Guide, said: “The average age on operations will be between 21 and 23 and at that age there will be lapses.”There are 17,620 women in the forces, making up 9.4% of the total.But critics have long argued they are physically weaker than men and that sexual tension would upset small units.Women are currently banned from infantry units and any role where they would “close with and kill the enemy” – as well as from submarines and several diver roles.Yet women have fi lled more front-line jobs than ever before in Iraq and Afghanistan, including combat medics, fi ghter and helicopter pilots.Female Harrier pilots have bombed the Taliban in Afghanistan while in Iraq, medic L/Cpl Michelle Norris became the first woman to win the Military Cross after braving sniper fire to save her shot vehicle commander.The two wars have also claimed the lives of six forces’ women.An MoD spokesman said: “All our forces are expected to behave within the Armed Forces Code of Conduct. “If women become or discover they are pregnant on operations they are returned to the UK at the fiist opportunity for their own wellbeing and to preserve effectiveness.”
Every amulet holder from the City God temple contains an amulet which will give you great peace of mind. Taipei Urban Development Department, Taiwan University Graduate Institute of Building & Planning and Taipei Xia Hai City God temple conducted the well-known “Chinese New Year Shopping Festival” in February 1996; that was when the temple started offering the Blessed tea to all visitors. Everyone could get a cup of blessed tea in 5 different booths within the activity area during the festival. The temple offered different tea daily. The ingredients of the blessed tea consisted of the red dates, Chinese wolfberries, roselle flowers, daisies, cassia seeds, prunes and the sacred sugar which had been offered to the Matchmaker. The blessed tea was so popular that our former President Mr. Chen Shui-Bian said: “It contained love, meaningfulness and sweetness” Our President Mr. Ma Ying-Jiu added the following: “The good flavor of the blessed tea is interwoven with both religion and Chinese herbs.” The City God temple provided more than 220,000 cups of blessed tea during that pre-New Year festivity. At the regular time, the temple provides the blessed tea which is made of red dates, Chinese wolfberries and sugar for daily visitors. These ingredients are good for the health. Red dates and Chinese wolfberries are provided by the worshipers who want to get married soon and the sugar is donated from the people who pray to the Matchmaker for the first time. Drinking the blessed tea is not only for receiving the blessings from the deities, but also promoting the Chinese herb industry in this neighborhood. Every December 24th in the lunar year, most deities are returning to the celestial realm to report to the emperor of Jade what they have seen in our world. The temple will have a ceremony to see the deities off. They will be away for more than a week. People can't ask for an oracle or drop the divining blocks until next January 4th in the lunar year. The Lantern Festival is the first full moon after the Lunar New Year, meaning the very beginning of the year. Spring is around the corner. It is a day when the sky deities give blessings to everyone. And they are fond of the boisterousness, so we have to light up the lanterns and walk around the neighborhood with lit lanterns to create the lively atmosphere.
That being said though, the various Enochian Names that come up in ritual work are vibrated just like the Hebrew Divine Names, the only difference would be the pronunciation of the word. Conclusions
Personality traits and suicide risk Personality traits represent emotional, behavioural, motivational, interpersonal, experiential and cognitive styles that help us relate to and cope with the world.50,51,52 Personality traits are determined by environment, individual genes, and gene–gene and gene–environment interactions.53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61 Structural models suggest that personality has a hierarchical organization with multiple narrow or basic traits coalescing into about 3–5 higher-order dimensions.62,63,64,65,66 Depending on the model, the latter are defined as extroversion, psychoticism and neuroticism;62 harm avoidance, novelty seeking, reward dependence and persistence;67 neuroticism, agreeableness, openness to experience, conscientiousness and extroversion;68 or emotional instability, compulsivity, antagonism and inhibition.63 Over the last 3 decades, interest in the contribution of personality trait profiles to complex behavioural phenomena such as suicidal behaviour has increased.29,51,61,69,70 Suicidal behaviours may result from reciprocal interactions between maladaptive cognitions, affect, and behavior, occurring subsequently to an environmental/internal precipitant.71,72 Clinical and community research suggest links between suicidality, on the one hand, and “extreme” personality profiles, on the other hand.51,69,73,74,75,76,77 For instance, both undercontrolled and inhibited 3-year-old children were found to be more likely to attempt suicide as young adults.78 In general, introverted/negativistic/avoidant/dependent/neurotic as well as impulsive/hostile/antisocial personality features may cluster in suicidal individuals,71,79,80 and possibly in a gender-specific fashion.69 Personality traits have several properties that make them attractive targets for suicidality research and intervention. First, they affect variables that may contribute to the diathesis for suicide, namely, our perception of and adaptations to the environment and “self.”55,81 Second, their maturational patterns may render them more suitable for long-term public health interventions compared with other, more changeable risk factors. More specifically, even though traits are amenable to modification only relatively early in life, any intervention that is carried out at this time would have longer-lasting effects.65,82 Third, they may be useful in early identification of subgroups of suicidal individuals, such as repeated attempters83 and older completers.84 Finally, gender-specific personality differences may contribute to gender dissimilarities observed in suicide attempts and completions.85,86
Today I had a great opportunity to watch a rough cut of the next episode of The Mentalist, "Red John". And here's my thoughts about it. As you can expect, after the events of "The Great Red Dragon" the things are not looking so good for our main characters. From FBI's perspective everyone who worked at CBI is now considered a suspect. But then again, there are suspects and there are THE suspects. The atmosphere is tense and people are getting annoyed and impatient. My favorite part of this situation, though, is the fact that it gives our former CBI team a chance to show just what makes them so great. I'm definitely gonna miss seeing them all together.As for Patrick himself, he's surprisingly calm, waiting for the things to start happening on their own. Not that he has to wait for long. There are a lot of things going on in this episode, many twists and turns. Literally. And when Jane finally gets to face Red John, there is a lot more action than I expected involved. And it's a good thing. I have to say, when back in season four premiere, we found out that the man Patrick shot was not in fact RJ, I was very disappointed, mostly because season three had probably the best finale on the show and I was so impressed with that last scene of confrontation, that I was certain the real thing wouldn't even get close to that. Now I can gladly say, I was wrong. After seeing the face-to-face showdown between the two, I can tell you, it seems like a fitting ending to this story. And whether it's an "honorable tie", "a truce" or just some sort of closure for them, I can't imagine it going any other way. I think Bruno Heller and everyone else did a great job with these last 8 episodes of the Red John storyline.As strange as I believe it's going to be moving forward for the characters, I can't wait to see them changed after the events of this episode. The life after Red John is the real mystery for Patrick Jane. And whatever choices he made, there are many more ahead. His story is a very tragic one, cause regardless of the results of his meeting with RJ, there's no happy ending for him. Not yet anyway. And that's what I'm really excited to see in the future episodes.

Calorimetry revealed altered metabolic profiles in EOD mice Indirect calorimetry was conducted over a period of 47 h, such that, in the EOD groups of mice, time windows with AL access to food (24 h), as well as complete food restriction (23 h) were covered experimentally. During the day with AL access to food, all groups (i.e., young/old, AL/restricted) showed a typical ultradian rhythm in energy expenditure and physical activity with lower gas exchange during the day and an increase in the evening triggered by the onset of the dark phase (Fig. ). On the food restriction day, daytime energy expenditure did not differ considerably between groups (Fig. ). EOD mice, however, tended to show reduced oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production rates during the second half of the night of the food restriction day (Fig. ). Only two restricted mice (one young, one aged) showed a metabolic suppression similar to torpor typical for small rodents. Overall, levels of oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and heat release were, however, significantly increased in EOD mice when body weight differences were accounted for (Fig. ; full data set in Supplementary Table 13). Open in a separate window The availability of food as well as the age of the mice had effects on metabolic fuel utilization (Fig. ). Consistent with prior findings12, 26, aged control mice showed significantly reduced average respiratory exchange ratios (RER) compared to young control animals (Fig. ), indicating a proportional substrate preference toward lipid oxidation in aged mice. The metabolic profile of young control mice was dominated by low RER (indicative for lipid oxidation) during daytime and shifted to higher RER (reflective for carbohydrate utilization) in the evening (Fig. ). Aged control mice, in contrast, showed low RER values with little variability throughout the entire period of assessment (Fig. ). Young EOD mice showed high RER values during the feeding day and low RER values during the starvation day (Fig. ). The temporal RER profile in old EOD mice showed similarities with that in young EOD mice but was shifted by ~12 h, such that RER began to rise at ~12 h after onset of food availability and remained high for ~12 h during the starvation day (Fig. ). The RER profiles in the young groups described above were consistent with the observation that food intake occurred primarily during the dark phase in controls, while young EOD mice also engaged in food consumption during the light phase (Fig.

We tend to get too passive in early-game and just farm.They have always been good, but it's a fact that China were the kings of DotA. US have always had some really good players, they just had a hard time sticking together, so instead they were forming new teams every now and then. It is really nice to see them doing good and I hope they will stay together now, since there are so many good teams in Dota 2 at the moment. I don't know if it was the lag/spike issue which caused problems, maybe it did - maybe didn't. The great thing about Dota 2 right now is that different teams are dominating one week at a time. I think that will keep on going, until all the heroes are out and people finally figure out the game!Yes, I do believe that the top placements will keep changing, while heroes are being added - with so many teams out there.That's a really hard one to answer, but my all time favourite player was Mr.Admiration. The team I will look at is the old LGD, who had huge success with their imba roaming ("ench + venge") which allowed them to gain such a huge lead early game.Yes, I really want to improve our early game, but we will not switch any roles on the team, they are fine as it is right now and we will practice it in scrims. I cannot reveal yet what we will do, but we will definitely do something to improve ourselves.I am very honored really and didn't know he was thinking so highly me. I found out when I first read the interview and figured you would ask me about it but its nice to get noticed. (smile)My strongest quality is map awareness I would say, else I think he hit it pretty well (smile). There are always different opinions of how people look at you.First I would say that it's really cool that he took his name from an anime, I love watching anime myself. He plays a really solid carry with a smart way of playing, a great bonus to his team that is playing so well at the moment.The next week we will not practice at all, only if we can get Pusher-Street to help us.
My camera sucks and the photographer sucks too.Deities associated with death take many different forms, depending on the specific culture and religion being referenced. Psychopomps, deities of the underworld, and resurrection deities are commonly called death deities in comparative religions texts.The term colloquially refers to deities that either collect or rule over the dead, rather than those deities who determine the time of death.Many have incorporated a god of death into their mythology or religion. As death, along with birth, is among the major parts of human life, these deities may often be one of the most important deities of a religion. In some religions with a single powerful deity as the source of worship, the death deity is an antagonistic deity against which the primary deity struggles.The related term death worship has most often been used as a derogatory term to accuse certain groups of morally abhorrent practices which set no value on human life, or which seem to glorify death as something positive in itself.Psychopomps (from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός - psuchopompos, literally meaning the \"guide of souls\") are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls to the afterlife.Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply provide safe passage. Frequently depicted on funerary art, psychopomps have been associated at different times and in different cultures with horses, Whip-poor-wills, ravens, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, cuckoos, and harts.In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms. It is symbolically personified in dreams as a wise man or woman, or sometimes as a helpful animal. In many cultures, the shaman also fulfills the role of the psychopomp.This may include not only accompanying the soul of the dead, but also vice versa: to help at birth, to introduce the newborn child\'s soul to the world. This also accounts for the contemporary title of \"midwife to the dying,\" which is another form of psychopomp work.
During the course of the class, Professor Geanakoplos explains the intricacies of the financial system and how their successes and failures affect monetary policies on a global scale.There are more people on earth today than at any other time, and the global population shows no signs of slowing its rise. Professor Robert Wyman takes this premise and examines the real world repercussion throughout his lecture series. Among other topics, he discusses population density, the environmental effects of a concentrated population, and the adaptation of communities to an ever-growing populace.If you're interested in the mechanics of capitalism, you should watch Political Science Professor Douglas W. Rae's class on the history and impact of capitalism upon modern society. He investigates and dissects capitalist enterprises as if they were living organisms, explaining each part that makes them work in vivd detail. Professor Rae looks the part of a stereotypical college professor, sporting a bowtie, horn rim glasses, and a wry sense of humor towards his students.Enjoy!

Until the early 1990s, the F-14 Tomcat didn't have clearance to drop bombs even though all Tomcats were built with a Stores Management System (SMS) that included air-to-ground options as well as rudimentary software in the AWG-9. Early flight clearance work to clear the aircraft for air-to-ground were suspended due to development delays with the F-14 and it being shifted away from the air to ground mission. At the time, the Tomcat was so expensive (and lacked proper defensive electronic countermeasures (DECM) and radar homing and warning (RHAW) for overland operations) that the Navy did not want to risk it in the air-to-ground role. However, the TARPS mission had proven the Tomcat was survivable overland and upgrades to the Tomcat's DECM, expendables and RHAW gear were developed to increase its survivability. With the end of the Cold War and de-emphasis on the Fleet Air Defense mission, NAVAIR had renewed flight clearance work before Desert Storm so the F-14 could carry gravity bombs as well as laser-guided bombs if the target was lased by another jet (first Tomcat LGB drop in combat was made by VF-41 in 1995 during operations over Bosnia with an A-6 Intruder providing the requisite target illumination). Meanwhile, the decision had been made by Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) to retire the A-6 altogether and allow the F-14 Block 1 Strike variant to take over as the precision strike platform for the air wing. However, the $1.6B Block 1 Strike program was canceled in budgetary cuts by 1994 with only enough funding to integrate the JDAM, which was years away. In late 1994, an unsolicited proposal from Martin Marietta was initiated to demonstrate how a USAF LANTIRN targeting pod could be rapidly integrated onto the Tomcat. This effort was done under the auspices of Commander, Naval Air Forces Atlantic Fleet (COMNAVAIRLANT) using a fleet aircraft to integrate the digital 1553-based pod on an analog F-14B. In March 1995 a VF-103 fleet aircraft successfully dropped the first laser-guided training rounds (LGTR) and quickly laser-guided bombs (LGB). Due to the early success and interest from Fleet Commanders, NAVAIR began to procure pods and control units for deployment, resulting in VF-103 receiving the first LANTIRN pod June 14, 1996 in time for its upcoming deployment.
Assembly was a little complicated, and it took me a good few hours – even with the help of another adult – but this isn’t unexpected with a trampoline of this quality. The most fiddly part is attaching the net correctly, but AlleyOOP have produced online videos to make things easier, so do make use of those to save yourself a lot of hassle. However, once you’re done you’ll be left with a seriously sturdy, excellent quality trampoline which is impossible to tip over and which gives a safe, impressive bounce experience.

Wilmore is in training to join a crew aboard the station.The capcoms were responsible for conveying instructions from the mission's flight directors — STS-135 lead director Kwatsi Alibaruho, "Orbit 2" director Rick LaBrode, planning director Paul Dye, ascent director Richard Jones, (re)entry director Tony Ceccacci and "Team 4's" Gary Horlacher.Alibaruho departed NASA a month after Atlantis landed to become an executive director for systems engineering at Hamilton Sunstrand, an aerospace contractor. LaBrode is now coordinating NASA's future exploration plans within the Mission Operations Directorate. Jones is preparing for NASA's first Orion test spaceflight in 2014. And Ceccacci, Dye, and Horlacher are still leading Mission Control, now as space station flight directors.One other flight controller had responsibility over Atlantis up until the shuttle "cleared the tower." Launch director Michael Leinbach led the Launch Control Center (LCC) at Kennedy Space Center, the Florida equivalent to Mission Control in Houston. "On behalf of the greatest team in the world, good luck to you and your crew on the final flight of this true American icon," Leinbach radioed to Ferguson just as the countdown to the last shuttle mission entered its final minutes.Leinbach's own departure from NASA came Nov. 30. Soon after, he joined United Launch Alliance (ULA), and is now leading the company's development of human spaceflight capabilities for their Atlas and Delta rockets.Mike Moses, who oversaw Atlantis' assembly for STS-135 as the launch integration manager, is also now leading the oversight for a commercial launch vehicle.

Evidence was still being sought on the night of August 4 when Johnson gave his address to the American public on the incident. Messages recorded that day indicate that neither President Johnson nor Secretary McNamara was certain of an attack. [36] Various news sources, including Time, Life and Newsweek, ran articles throughout August on the Tonkin Gulf incident. [37] Time reported: "Through the darkness, from the West and south ... intruders boldly sped ... at least six of them ... they opened fire on the destroyers with automatic weapons, this time from as close as 2,000 yards. "[38] Time stated that there was "no doubt in Sharp's mind that the US would now have to answer this attack", and that there was no debate or confusion within the administration regarding the incident. [38] William Bundy The use of the set of incidents as a pretext for escalation of U.S. involvement follows the issuance of public threats against North Vietnam, as well as calls from American politicians in favor of escalating the war. [39] On May 4, 1964, William Bundy called for the U.S. to "drive the communists out of South Vietnam", even if that meant attacking both North Vietnam and communist China. [39] Even so, the Johnson administration in the second half of 1964 focused on convincing the American public that there was no chance of war between the United States and North Vietnam. [39] North Vietnam's General Giap suggested that the DESOTO patrol had been sent into the gulf to provoke North Vietnam into giving an excuse for escalation of the war. [39] Various government officials and men aboard Maddox have suggested similar theories. [39] American politicians and strategists had been planning provocative actions against North Vietnam for some time. George Ball told a British journalist after the war that "at that time ... many people ... were looking for any excuse to initiate bombing". [39] According to Raymond McGovern, a retired CIA officer (CIA analyst from 1963 to 1990, and in the 1980s, chairman of the National Intelligence Estimates), the CIA, "not to mention President Lyndon Johnson, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy all knew full well that the evidence of any armed attack on the evening of Aug. 4, 1964, the so-called "second" Tonkin Gulf incident, was highly dubious. ... During the summer of 1964, President Johnson and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were eager to widen the war in Vietnam.
NEW DELHI: These days condoms are a source of unending worry for Madhya Pradesh PWD minister Vijayvargiya and his political friends in the state. Especially, if they come with a vibrating ring. Then, he feels, the condom metamorphoses into a sex toy. "And sex toys," says the minister, "can have serious repercussions on the Indian way of life. "Celebrated historical texts suggest otherwise. Vatsyayana’s 4th century AD compilation Kama Sutra, the world’s oldest tome on sex and its pleasures, is peppered with so many details of sex toys that one begins to wonder if it was a small-scale industry in ancient India.The section titled Aupanishadika (occult practices) talks about various kinds of apadravya (apparatus) used for sexual intercourse. These dildos or sex aids were made of wooden, rubber, gold, silver, copper, ivory, even horn. At one place, the Kama sutra also says that when men have no sex partner, they satisfy themselves "with dolls. "The book provides graphic details of the shapes and sizes of the sex toys ranging from a rounded stick to a curved stick in the shape of a mortar, from an object shaped like a flower bud to elephant’s trunk. The text even talks about artificial sex organs made of "hollowed out pumpkins" and "bamboos moistened with oil and ointment. "The MP minister seems to be arguing against sex as pleasure. "The government should promote family planning and not something that is meant to give your partner pleasure," he says. By this logic even dotted or flavoured condoms should not be promoted by government.The minister’s worries on the social effect of such toys seem to be misplaced. Several Indian texts show that sexual love was both art and sport in the ancient period.Set in Benaras, Damodargupta’s 8th century AD long poem Kuttanimata (The advice of a courtesan) devotes a number of pages on how to win hearts and bodies of young men.Ram Nath Jha, who teaches in Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies, JNU, says that even ancient philosophical treatises such as Swaminarayan Bhashya’s comments on Sankhyakarika (12 century AD) and Mathara Vritti (between 6th-8 century AD), a major text in Sankhya philosophy talk of sex as a pleasure provider.Jha quotes from Bhashya: Upatisthate vishayopabhogartham tadupastham anandagrahanalingam bhavati (The sex organ produces pleasure through experiencing objects; therefore, it is a sign of the atma). Jha says people have stopped reading original texts. "Which is why they talk like this," he says.
Military force alone promises only more military force. In congressional testimony from 2013, Mattis said as much, when asked about the role of diplomacy in foreign affairs. “If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition ultimately,” he said. “The more that we put into the State Department’s diplomacy, hopefully the less we have to put into a military budget.” Trump’s proposed budget would cut State Department funding by more than a quarter. At present, forty-six U.S. Embassies remain without an Ambassador.
Different skilled people may help to give it a rich set of contributions, which may promote it to a higher grade of quality. These solid reasons make Wiki the basis of today’s collaborative work.We can summarize the concepts shown above and define them as content forking . Basically, it allows users to copy and edit other people’s works. Then the editors make changes to such content and proceed to submit those changes to the original author for revision. Once these modifications are approved by the owner, the original work is modified. To prevent a collective creation to turn into an exquisite corpse , some guidelines must be followed. These are set either individually by the owner or collectively, and most of the time these rules aim to mod extreme subjective thought or out of standard inputs, so that the final product could be as unbiased and homogeneous as possible. Among the great advantages that content forking may have, it’s remarkable that sensitive content is always prone to be constantly updated by the community. As it’s permanently editable, every version can be accessed to overview it’s evolution. This phenomenon is usually related to web and software development and post edition, but content forking could be applied to almost any online content, since is editable in every way. Git is today’s big boy of collaborative work. It has become really popular among the development community because it facilitates the work between teammates. Working together has become an important component of today’s projects since multiple collaborators allow a faster, easier and better control of versions. Git allows multiple developers to edit a single file or a set of files at the same time. It also makes possible the creation of alternative branches for testing new features or fixing bugs without affecting the whole production code and sequence. Unlike regular source code management, which has one main repository in the server forcing developers to connect to it in order to edit files, Git gives every dev a copy of the central repository, so that they can work on the project locally and even without an Internet connection, which definitely breaks the mold and sets a new trend on this field. The ease of use of Git has made possible the creation of different versions of projects, helping neophytes of version control to acknowledge the concept, and also developers are compelled to be more productive and collaborative.

The RTC study of the Rose Law Firm said there did not seem to be any more to it than that, adding: "The worst that might be said is that Mrs. Clinton should have checked with her client before discarding files that belonged to it." Lawyers normally try to protect themselves by retaining records in disputed matters, especially matters involving potential litigation. If, as she has maintained, and as the RTC report concluded, her involvement in the May 1 option was minimal, then it is possible that she thought these files were harmless and unneeded. There is another context to consider, however. The files were destroyed at a time when federal regulators were poring through Madison's financial history in the preliminary stages of an investigation that led to McDougal's indictment on fraud charges. It was also a time when Ward, after a falling out with Madison over the payment of commissions, was taking his dispute to court in a civil suit. There was a chance that Hillary Clinton's work for Ward could have been revealed in that case. She said she did not know about the Ward lawsuit, which when it went to trial drew wide attention in Little Rock's legal community. THE BILLING RECORDS The first lady has said she never tried to hide her Rose Law Firm billing records and that they exonerated her once they were found after a mysterious two-year disappearance. Whitewater investigators in Congress and in the independent counsel's office regard the billing records differently. They have used them as a field map in exploring the ancient ground of Castle Grande. Did Hillary Clinton see the records back in 1992 when questions were first raised about her legal work? If she did, why did she not release them to the public then – before they were missing – or at least summarize them in discussions with the press? Has she truly been committed to full disclosure? What role did she play, if any, in their disappearance and rediscovery? During a Jan. 15, 1996, interview on Diane Rehm's talk show on WAMU-FM radio in Washington, the first lady was asked a typical question about the extent to which she had fully disclosed all pertinent information on Whitewater. Her answer revealed an apparent contradiction in her overall handling of inquiries into her past conduct.
Fact is there was a lot I personally could not answer for Luke and for once during that day it wasnt for competitor sensitive reasons (ironically they were all asked by competitors, presumably assuming I was an easy target ). The only thing Luke asked for aside a look inside, which had there been a torx screw on site I would have happily obliged. As I couldnt the above was the immediate result. The only other thing Luke asked for was a peek at the source code. Thats understandable. Im well aware CKOlivias and Kano want that as well, as do the rest of the community, so that should be in the next few days. Whether it will be prior to the weekend cant say. Its not me doing this, but Ive been told in the next week it will be available on Github. With respect to Kano, Ive got no beef with him, but he does himself no favours. Hes helped create a piece of software that has benefitted the community to date and chose to release it open source. That alone irrespective of whether some feel they can revise unassisted, or not, is certainly an achievement and does place someone in the realm of having a particular expertise that could be of value to future entities. Its a proven definable achievement. Why then, make oneself difficult to work alongside, and provoke distain by antagonising those you could be working with? Its kind of a self-sabotage. No one is expecting anyone to be the best at anything, but when working in a team your employability is determined upon your ability to be easy to work with and proactive towards a common goal. Thats just how business works. Clearly there is ability, but if there is going to be an ego creating obstacles that are detrimental to a project, they are best avoided. Thats how I read it anyway. Kano has a fabulous cv with a very relevant background, but he slates those he is claiming need help from him. A scornful and overbearing disposition is detrimental to what could be a welcome role on an exciting project. If Kano was more amicable and proactive for sure so many more people would reach out. I hate to think that hes done so much good for the community, coupled with a legendary status then blows his employability.

Because the child senses that his life depends on his parents, he must believe something more. It would be intolerable to the child to believe that his parents intend to harm him and, in fact, most parents have rendered themselves unable to appreciate the harm they are inflicting. So the child must believe in his parents' goodness, and in their "good intentions. "Most parents engage in such manipulation in varying degrees. Let us state the lessons the mother is teaching the young boy in this example in a somewhat different form:1. The young boy is learning that when he behaves in ways which might be undertaken in full innocence (Splashing water is fun! Some limits are necessary, but splashing water is fun! ), he might nonetheless be guilty of being "bad," and of acting in ways that heare "bad." If this message is delivered to the child repeatedly (and such parents rarely restrict these methods to only one very delimited area), his chances of developing a healthy, positive view of himself are fundamentally undermined. If such lessons are delivered often enough over an extended period of time, those chances will be destroyed.2. As a result, the child is learning to distrust himself on a basic level. He cannot trust himself to know what is "good" in terms of how he behaves or, as he gets older, in terms of what he thinks. He will have to wait for emotional signals from the relevant authority figures to know whether what he does or thinks is "good" or "bad," and then adjust his behavior or views accordingly.3. Facts concerning the issue in question are entirely irrelevant; such facts are rarely if ever discussed. Instead, what matters are feelings and emotions -- not his own, since he can't trust those, but those of the authority figures. Since he cannot access the emotions of others directly, he will have to be constantly vigilant in seeking clues to their reactions, to determine whether his actions or opinions are met with approval or not. He is being taught how to manipulate others, just as his parents manipulate him.4. The child is learning that these methods of control, domination and manipulation areJust as the child cannot doubt his parents' "good intentions," it is intolerable to think that his parents might not love him since he depends on them for survival.
Some of this doubling in cost was funded by temporary grants and waivers from the United States federal government. [citation needed] The Blue Cross funded research did not address the increased costs in premiums for employers and individuals or other market dynamics – such as increased providers' costs and increased co-pays/deductibles – necessary to meet minimum creditable coverage standards that were introduced in Massachusetts by other parts of the 2006 legislature and its resulting regulations. Separate research on Premiums and Expenditures found that fully adjusted premiums per member per month (PPMPM) for Massachusetts residents covered by comprehensive private insurance policies (approximately two thirds of the state population) increased approximately 9% in both 2009 and 2010 for subscribers in the "merged market", 7% in the midsized group market, and 5.4% in the large group market. These premium increase do not reflect actual resident experience particularly in the merged market because Massachusetts regulations allow age and other rating factors (e.g., even if premiums were held flat for 55-year-olds living on Cape Cod in construction work from year to year, the 55-year-old in 2009 would pay 10% more in 2010 for the same policy, possibly with lesser benefits). [citation needed] During the years before the changes in the state law related to the enactment of the federal PPACA, the state still used the free care pool—renamed the Health Safety Net—both as originally intended and to fund the subsidies for free (under 150% of FPL) and almost free (151–300% of FPL) networked health care insurance. In addition the state spent a substantial amount of general revenue on the insurance reform. Based on the combination of the increased Health Safety Net tax, general revenue (state income and sales taxes were increased 20%) and smaller additional taxes, the cost of the reform reached about 2% of the state's annual budget in fiscal year 2013, which ended June 30, 2013, up from 1.5% in fiscal 2011. [56] Data following enactment of mandatory insurance showed total emergency visits and spending continued to increase, and low-severity emergency visits decreased less than 2%; researchers concluded, "To the extent that policymakers expected a substantial decrease in overall and low-severity ED visits, this study does not support those expectations. "[57][58] Other analysis concluded that preventable ED visits were reduced 5-8% for non-urgent or primary care ED visits relative to other states.
Maybe I thought it was a little too sure of itself on the first viewing, but with reflection I've come to realize that yes, it is that good.
larger image TIFF original image Download: Figure 2. The visuomotor accuracy-tracking task (AT). (a) Subjects were seated in front of a computer screen with the right forearm placed in a molded rigid custom-made arm support. (b) The forearm was positioned in a neutral semi-prone position. (c) The main application window contained a target consisting of a fixed double sine wave curve (red) that subjects had to track with the torque signal (white). (d) The second window provided visual feedback on the performance of the AT task by displaying a series of white dots on a coordinate axis. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0044594.g002 A software application built on Labview® (National Instruments, USA) was created to design the AT. The application displayed two windows on a computer screen. The main window contained a target consisting of a fixed double sine wave curve (Fig. 2C) that the subjects had to track, as accurately as possible, by applying wrist extension and flexion isometric contractions. The amplitude of the target trajectory (y-axis) was adjusted to approximately <5% of the maximal voluntary contraction of wrist extensors. Briefly, the isometric torque applied to the handle was displayed as a cursor on the computer screen located in front of the subject. The cursor moved automatically across the screen from left to right at a constant velocity and subjects applied wrist flexion and extension muscle isometric contractions to move the cursor downward and upward respectively to track the double sine wave curve displayed on the screen. The second window provided visual feedback on the performance of the AT by displaying a series of white dots in a coordinate axis (Fig. 2D). Each dot represented the cumulative error (distance) in a single frame between the trace of the subject and the target. The lower the position of the dot on the y-axis, the lower the error between the double sine wave curve and their trace and thus the better the performance. Practice of the AT during motor skill acquisition (blocks 1–3) consisted of 3×5 min blocks with 1 min of rest between blocks. The retention tests (blocks 4–6), performed 1 hour, 24 hours and 7 days after practice, consisted of 1 block of 5 min of practice each. In all trials, the sine wave curve was displayed in frames of 6 sec with 1 sec between frames in which the visual feedback (i.e. white dot) was provided.
Try to find excuses to play it, as you may never get the chance as the cost is extremely prohibitive.Just about the only play on curve minion in the deck, you also have to come up with an excuse to play this one most of the time. If this gets an attack in, you probably just won the game. Speaking of getting attacks in, try to avoid swinging face to keep your opponent at 30. If the only target your Markarth has is the enemy face, you really don't want to pop a Rune doing so. Also, don't spend too many resources protecting this minion. If someone Harpies and I know they're holding on to a Firebolt or Tome of Alteration, for example, I might use Crushing Blow on it but I usually let them take the trade unless I have an easier, more efficient way of dealing with it.Included to give this deck a chance against some larger enemy drops and a good Prophecy.WHY NOT THESE CARDS?You might ask why I don't use the hyper-defensive Hive Defender and Rift Thane, the absolute stall combo of Healing Potion and Cast Out, the pure OTK combo of Relentless Raider and Close Call, or the tutoring provided by Dagi-raht Mystic. And the answer is that I did, I used each of those combos alongside the "core" of the deck with the buffers, Chargers, and Supports. However, it turns out the "ping package" provided by Strength is so insanely efficient that you simply cannot give it up. The Chargers can remove stuff played in the Field Lane, but the Pings can remove stuff in the Shadow Lane, something which is very much necessary that you simply don't get with the other options. The inclusion of Crushing Blow also lets you build your own removal and use every point of damage to its fullest potential.I don't record or stream so I don't usually have any example games to show, but as CVH has a recording of it my work is done, so to speak. You can find the link at the top of this page.This game was quite extreme as I drew a lot of my early game removal after the mulligan (despite anticipating Midrange and not Aggro) and he was playing a hyper-aggro variant of Charcher.
What humans have is a more complex and larger brain than any other animal (maybe a whale’s brain is physically large, but it’s not structurally more complex than ours). If you left a computer by itself, or a community of them together, they would try to figure out where they came from and what they are. If they came across a book about computer science they would laugh and say “that can’t be right.” And then you’d have different groups of computers with different ideas.That’s a very big question, because there will always be some people who don’t like the idea of a limited lifespan, so you have the prospect of being able to take your brain and recode it and jump into a computer and live for 1,000 years instead of 100.Making predictions today is very difficult because so many of the futures that have been depicted in fiction and science fiction could be possible options we could possibly face in the next generation or two, and our ordinary ways of thinking about the future are going to be out of date.I think some of the things we’ve been talking about sound like science fiction or fantasy or romance or whatever, but they’re going to happen, or some of them are going to happen, and it would be good for more people to think more seriously about what could happen in the next 100 years and what options we should be aiming toward.I think right now most people would say these are just fantasies and nothing is going to change very much. But things are going to change alright, and the more people think about it, the better chance that the changes will be good.I don’t know what good is, but it’s nice to have such a word.
Despite their almost childish simplicity, cellular automata can produce incredibly complex behavior (see the figure above), such as “particles” and other structures that travel across the array, collide, merge, and disintegrate, and sometimes even seem to act like living organisms. Witnessing this behavior, generations of programming hobbyists have speculated that our own universe might be a cellular automaton at its base, a speculation that Wolfram embraces with gusto. Personally, I have no problem with the general idea of describing nature as a simple computation—in some sense, I’d say, that’s the entire program of science! When I read Wolfram’s book, however, I had difficulties with the specific kind of computation he asserted could do the job. In particular, Wolfram insisted that the known phenomena of physics could be reproduced using a classical cellular automaton: that is, one where the bits defining “the state of the universe” are all either definitely 0 or definitely 1, and where the apparent randomness of quantum mechanics arises solely from our own ignorance about the bits. Wolfram knew that such a model would imply that quantum mechanics was only approximate, so that (for example) quantum computers could never work. However, it seemed to me that Wolfram’s idea was ruled out on much simpler grounds, namely Bell’s theorem. That is, because a classical cellular automaton would allow only correlation, rather than quantum entanglement, it would lead us to predict wrongly that the CHSH game can be won at most 75 percent of the time. Wolfram had a further complication up his sleeve, however. Noticing the difficulty with explaining entanglement, he added a conjecture that, when two particles become entangled, a “long-range thread” forms in the cellular automaton, connecting two locations that would otherwise be far apart. Crucially, these long-range threads would not be usable for sending messages faster than light, or for picking out a “preferred frame of reference”; Wolfram knew that he didn’t want to violate special relativity. Rather, in some way that Wolfram never explained, the threads would only be useful for reproducing certain predictions of quantum mechanics, such as the one that the CHSH game can be won 85.4 percent of the time. It turned out that the idea was still unworkable. In a 2002 review of Wolfram’s book, I proved that the long-range thread idea can’t possibly do what Wolfram wanted.
Therefore: Abortion is Murder. Homosexuality is Sin. Islam is a Lie. Evolution is a Delusion. Feminism is Rebellion. Liberalism is False Religion. Conservatism is Pretend Salt.” One attendee’s T-shirt made the point even more succinctly: “Make America Great Again: Repent!” OSA wasn’t proposing a complete retreat from politics. Instead, speaker after speaker urged officials to work around the federal government and the federal courts to impose what they saw as real law—their own interpretation of the Constitution and the Bible—at a local and state level. Matt Trewhella, the radical activist who signed the document backing “justifiable” homicide of abortion providers, has written a book called The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates, in which he argues that lower government officials have the duty to defy, or “interpose” against, “unjust/immoral laws or decrees,” such as those legalizing abortion and “sodomy.” At one evening’s rally, Trewhella laid out his theory of what he calls the “interposition of the lesser magistrates.” Too many conservatives, he said, believe the “fiction” that the Obergefell same-sex marriage decision is “the law of the land” and are pushing for what he said was a futile attempt to reverse it with a constitutional amendment. Instead, he said, the solution is to be found outside the federal government: Because people believe this fiction, people are left with hand-wringing, waiting for the next presidential campaign to get the next Supreme Court justice. The GOP loves using this fiction to get us to vote for their presidential candidate every four years. And yet, when you just do a little perusal of history, you’ll notice that when Roe v. Wade was ruled upon, six of the nine justices were Republican-appointed, and for the next 34 years after that, the GOP-appointed justices outnumbered the Democratic-appointed justices either 7-2 or 8-1. Thinking there is nothing better or else that can be done, people hand-wring. We need to understand that there is no federal solution to America’s ills, immoralities and injustices. Rather, the federal government is the problem. Trewhella praised as an example of this “interposition” a statement issued by a number of conservative scholars and organized by the American Principles Project following the Obergefell decision that called for “constitutional resistance” against the ruling.
amazing fast service, always free diagnostics, i have never been disappointed with their service covering my warranty. I want to re-iterate that this is a powerful machine. a hard core gamer will spend $4,500 easy on a higher specked laptop and still falls short of the most powerful you can get. the fact is you can play every game on the market with this laptop, play most smoothly at ultra settings, and everything but the most demanding of games on high settings. photographers will love this laptop, and so will the video editors in the crowd (the ones who cant afford macs) if you are a regular user just looking for power at a reasonable price, as long as you don't mind the size of this machine, i recommend picking one up. (i will make make another review in two months as an update to this one, earlier if i come across any problems.)
From 1965 the LP, in the preceding years not as important as the 45, became the new unit of measure of their work. The US releases had 12 cuts including the hits, the British versions had 14 cuts and generally none of the hits. A Hard Day's Night (1964) was the first release to contain material exclusively co-written by Lennon and McCartney. For Sale, released immediately after, contained six covers (but also Eight Days A Week, and the melancholic I Don't Want To Spoil The Party). Help (August 1965), with The Night Before and Ticket To Ride, marked the transition from the Merseybeat sound to one oriented more toward folk and country, though some of the songs bring Buddy Holly to mind. The Beatles of these days showed a formidable talent for the melancholic ballad, such as You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, and most of all Yesterday, the slow song par excellence written by Paul McCartney, to which Martin added a string quartet (a song vaguely reminiscent of 1933's Yesterdays by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach). However, their best work is to be found in more aggressive songs, such as Help, a gospel full of life adapted to their surreal style. Rubber Soul (December 1965) completed the transition from the 45 to the 33, and also from Merseybeat to folk-rock. Following their U.S. tour, the influence of the Byrds is very strong. The rock and roll beat in Drive My Car and Run For Your Life, the exotic mood of Norwegian Wood (a David Crosby-ian litany accompanied by sitar, an instrument already utilized by the Yardbirds, possibly based on what the Kinks had done a few months earlier with See My Friends) and the timid psychedelia of Nowhere Man cover a vast repertoire of harmonies for their standards. In spite of the fact that the Beatles sought success within rock and roll, it was evident that their best work was expressed through melodic songs. The tender ballads Girl and Michelle (a classic for acoustic guitar, melodic bass and chorus, in the style of 1950s vocal groups) are truly excellent songs in their genre, but because they lack both rhythm and volume, they were considered "minor" at the time. In 1965 the Beatles recorded another melodic masterpiece, We Can Work It Out, ground out on barrel organ and accordion, inspired by French folk music.
- MM Fixed quiver and quiverkey bugs (failure to scale properly when resizing) and added additional methods for determining the arrow angles - EF Fix polar interpolation to handle negative values of theta - MGD Reorganized cbook and mlab methods related to numerical calculations that have little to do with the goals of those two modules into a separate module numerical_methods.py Also, added ability to select points and stop point selection with keyboard in ginput and manual contour labeling code. Finally, fixed contour labeling bug. - DMK Fix backtick in Postscript output. - MGD [ 2089958 ] Path simplification for vector output backends Leverage the simplification code exposed through path_to_polygons to simplify certain well-behaved paths in the vector backends (PDF, PS and SVG).

As I have written, and as President Obama himself has noted, those opposing this deal do not have logic on their side at all. When negotiating a deal, both sides must make concessions; neither side will be totally happy with the results, and the fact that this deal is not a perfect deal from the perspective of the interests of America is simply the reality of negotiating a deal, and does not mean that the deal is a bad one, is not good, or should be rejected. The idea that Iran would have likely given up more ground—whether, as Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump claims, Iran would have cowed before the supposedly-awesome might of Trump’s negotiating skills, or whether, as reporter Major Garret obscenely suggested, that Obama should have jeopardized an entire nuclear deal affecting millions by tying it to the fate a few American citizens being detained by Iranian authorities (and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are released in the near future, much like Kennedy quietly and subsequently removed Jupiter nuclear missiles from Turkey as part of a secret caveat helping to end the Cuban Missile Crisis)—is just not grounded in reality, considering especially that Iran already gave a lot of ground. So don’t let anyone tell you that a significantly better deal for the U.S. at this time could have been reached. If sanctions were ratcheted up and a significant amount of time went by before resuming negotiations, perhaps Iran would be feeling more pressure, but it would also be much closer to a bomb or might already have one by the time negotiations resumed. So, that would have been a bad risk to take. No deal now, and no deal in the future, would have allowed Iran’s already strong nuclear program to continue unhindered, then, and nuclear weapons capability would have been certain in the near future. No deal, with a nuclear Iran and Middle East with a deteriorating and expanding Sunni-Shiite regional conflict, is not in anyone’s interests, except ISIS and other terrorist groups. And as Obama himself correctly made clear, “Put simply, no deal means a greater chance of more war in the Middle East.” The only other realistic alternative to this risky status quo and this agreement, then, is a risky military path, from a single strike up to and including all-out war.
The last line of the Pokémon mantra, "Gotta catch them all!" is used over and over again to have the kids desire and crave for collecting more Pokémon paraphernalia. Whatever the creators of these Pocket monsters come out with the kids want they are hooked. Between the TV commercial breaks a Poke'mon comes flashed in a shadow shape and they all say in unison "Whose that Pokémon." The kids are to recognize the certain character by its shape. Now remember there are over 150 of them so to do this takes quite some time to familiarize themselves with the creatures. This becomes a whole new education for them to learn of these mythical creatures. A Look at The characters The story revolves around a 10 year old boy named Ash Ketchum (a boy and his friends). He is energetic and determined to become the world's greatest Pokémon Master." Ash's goal and your child's is to become the greatest trainer in the world by collecting and raising Pokémon. His pet is Pikachu who looks like across between a cuddly rabbit and a rat. He has a lightning bolt shaped tail. (Raichu also has a lightning bolt tail) Misty a girl who is Ash's friend is described as "headstrong and stubborn . . . constantly quibbling with Ash." She is always giving him a hard time, they are constantly arguing. Ash says she's always putting him down. Then there is the third member of the adventurous trio, Brock who has uncontrolled hormones. Brock who is Ashes trouble making partner is girl crazy, he is infatuated with their perfume, dress and shape. Every girl he sees he is in love with. Brock's fascination with the opposite sex often gets him and the gang into trouble. Brock also has a temper (have you seen your child develop one?) and sometimes will hit Misty, who is his friend on the head, as in one case because she wanted to reveal that he loves a certain girl. Competition drives Ash making him obsessed with catching all the Pokémon. But it is not that easy he has enemies, Team rocket. A boy girl team called Jessie & James (Jessie James remember him, the outlaw).
There is little doubt that Ron Paul is pro-life based upon what he has said, for example, concerning ob/gyn being a “two patient specialty” and his statements in this evening’s interview with Piers Morgan. I think where he differs from someone like Rick Santorum is in the legislative practicalities. Murder, theft, and other similar crimes are not handled at the level of the federal government, and it seems Ron Paul doesn’t think abortion should be either. I tend to disagree with him in this matter as it is in the interest of the federal government to protect the life of human beings – in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity, if states fail to protect human life, then the federal government should. Having said that, I think his approach is actually more practical than waiting for all three branches of the federal government to align their views on abortion in order to have Roe v. Wade overturned (which would then just send the matter to the states anyway) and a personhood amendment ratified in its place. Ron Paul simply wants the federal government taken out of the picture all together to allow states to decide. In this case probably 3/4 of the states would outlaw abortion and we’d have limited this evil to a great extent. Many states already have pro-life laws enacted which would become enforceable upon the removal of federal jurisdiction. Practically, it would seem to me that we would have far fewer abortions far more quickly under the plan Ron Paul proposes. Is it perfect? No. Is it practical? Probably more so than the other politicians who wish to protect life. Even having said all that, the president really has little say in the matter unless the legislators in Congress manage to pass any pro-life laws, in which case the president has the power to veto. I doubt Ron Paul would ever veto a pro-life bill if it were to land on his desk in the Oval Office.
These activities gave way to systematic mailing campaigns to Ukraine through Ukrainian contacts in Poland and émigré contacts in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Spain, Sweden, and elsewhere. The newspaper Suchasna Ukrainia (Ukraine Today), information bulletins, a Ukrainian language journal for intellectuals called Suchasnist (The Present), and other publications were sent to libraries, cultural institutions, administrative offices and private individuals in Ukraine. These activities encouraged Ukrainian nationalism, strengthened Ukrainian resistance, and provided an alternative to Soviet media.103 In 1957 alone, with CIA support, Prolog broadcast 1,200 radio programs totaling 70 hours per month and distributed 200,000 newspapers and 5,000 pamphlets. In the years following, Prolog distributed books by Ukrainian writers and poets. One CIA analyst judged that, “some form of nationalist feeling continues to exist [in the Ukraine] and … there is an obligation to support it as a cold war weapon.” The distribution of literature in the Soviet Ukraine continued to the end of the Cold War.104 Prolog also garnered intelligence after Soviet travel restrictions eased somewhat in the late 1950s. It supported the travel of émigré Ukrainian students and scholars to academic conferences, international youth festivals, musical and dance performances, the Rome Olympics and the like, where they could speak with residents of the Soviet Ukraine in order to learn about living conditions there as well as the mood of Ukrainians toward the Soviet regime. Prolog’s leaders and agents debriefed travelers on their return and shared information with the CIA. In 1966 alone Prolog personnel had contacts with 227 Soviet citizens. [pp. 88-89]

The PC revolution of the 1980s put extra pressure on the computer industry to improve the usability of its products. Before personal computing, there had definitely been a need for usability, which is why UX personnel grew by a factor of 100 during the mainframe era. But mainframes were enterprise computers, meaning that those who used the computer were not the ones making the purchase decision. So, during that early era, the computer industry had had little incentive to produce high-quality user interfaces. With personal computers, the user and the buyer were the same, so the user experience directly impacted purchase decisions. Also, an extensive trade press published reviews of all new software products, often discussing their ease of use. (PC Magazine had a usability lab by 1991 and the usability score counted for 1/3 of the overall review rating of a software product, with performance and features counting for the other 2/3.) The web revolution of the 1990s and 2000s put further pressure on companies to improve the quality of their interaction design. With traditional PC software, the sequence of payment and user experience had been as follows: You bought a box of shrink-wrapped software. You opened the box, installed the software, and only then did you discover that it’s difficult to use. In other words, for PC software, the sequence had been payment first, user-experience second. With websites, the order of these two steps was reversed: You go to the company’s homepage. If it makes sense, you navigate the site. If you can find your way, you finally get to the page for a product you may be interested in. If the information on the product pages seems relevant to you, then you may proceed to the next step. You click Add to cart, move through the checkout process, and finally give the company your money. Thus, on the web, the sequence is user-experience first, payment second. Making UX the gatekeeper of the money vastly increased executives’ motivation to invest in their UX teams. The great press coverage of usability made UX the “hot new thing” (although it was already 50 years old by 2000, so not really that new). Especially during the dot-com bubble, I personally remember doing more than a thousand press interviews, often with the world’s leading newspapers. (See some of the most interesting UX cover stories.) This strong positive PR for UX made many companies think “we need some of that.”
Cintas Corporation, a leading supplier of corporate identity uniform programs, promotional products, restroom supplies, first aid, fire safety products and services, and industrial carpet and tile cleaning, will invest $10.4 million in a new distribution center in Groveport, Ohio The company will lease 217,000 square feet to create its first free-standing distribution center in 10 years. Cintas will add 69 jobs in picking, shipping and office operations. The company will begin hiring for those positions in March 2018.“As our business evolves, we are exploring ways to take better care of our valued customers and establishing a distribution presence is a key step,” said Terri Cain, Vice President of Distribution, Production Planning and Replenishment at Cintas Corporation. “This new facility in the Columbus Region will allow Cintas Corporation to better and more efficiently serve our vast customer base.”Headquartered in Cincinnati, Cintas plans to establish a distribution center in the Columbus Region to improve service nationwide.

Above all, the month hiking in the Swiss Alps in July 1904 was a glorious experience. After the split of the Second Congress and the party squabbles that ensued, they took to the mountains in early July. They left behind their worries at their home in Geneva and retreated to Lausanne. After a few days, the books they had brought with them for quiet study were sent back to Geneva. Instead, they eagerly packed their rucksacks and planned two weeks of hiking through the mountains, leaving at 4.00 am and aiming for Lucerne via Interlaken (Collected Works 37: 362). Seduced by the walking, two weeks became a month. As Krupskaya writes, ‘we always chose the loneliest trails that led into the wilds, away from any people’. The planned route was forgotten, so they set out each day not knowing where they would rest their tired bodies by nightfall. And as happens on such ventures, sleep is long and deep, often more than ten hours before waking at first light. With very little money, they ‘lived mostly on cold food such as eggs and cheese, washed down with wine or water from a spring’. Or acting on a tip from a worker, they avoided the sections of hotels where bourgeois tourists would sit, preferring the tables with coachmen and labourers, for there the food was twice as cheap and far more satisfying. As with planned route, the last remaining books in their rucksacks were neglected – a fat French dictionary in Lenin’s backpack and a thick French book for translation in Nadya’s: ‘It was not at dictionaries we looked, but at the snow-capped everlasting mountains, at blue lakes and turbulent waterfalls’ (Reminiscences, pp. 105-6). A glimpse of the sheer pleasure of the hike may be gained from the postcards Lenin sent to his mother and sister Maria: ‘Greetings from the tramps’, he writes on the back of one from Kandersteg near Frutigen, and ‘Greetings from our Mon Repos. In a day or two we shall be off once again’ on a card with a view of Iseltwald am Brienzersee (Collected Works 37: 363-4).
[FIDO, M., 2000, p. 19-20] Then in London there was Harry 'Little Hubby' Distleman, "a Jewish club manager, gambler and possibly part-sharer (with his brother) in a chain of brothels." [FIDO, M., 2000, p. 31] Jewish author Chaim Bermant noted in the Jewish Chronicle in 1993 that "In the same period (1903-1909), 151 aliens [in Great Britain], most of them Jewish, were convicted for keeping brothels, and 521 for soliciting ... Rabbi Avigdor Schonfeld ... protested that to draw attention to the existence of Jewish prostitutes harmed the good name of the Jewish people." [JEWISH CHRONICLE, 1-15-93] More recently, Jewish singer Eddie Fisher recalls that "while performing in England in the late 1950s I had become friendly with a Jewish song plugger, a man who eventually left the music business to open a very exclusive whorehouse." [FISHER, E., 1999, p. 293] A little later, there was the infamous Colin Levy: "In 1973, one of the better-known and more appreciated solo practioners of that tony [London prostitution] underworld was Norma Levy (nee Mary Russell), an Irish-born prostitute in her mid-twenties whose career 'on the game' ws being managed by her husband Colin Levy, a petty crook ... In 1973, Colin Levy found himself short of money. Aware that one of Norma's patrons was the celebrated Lord Lambton, he decided to solve his problem with a bit of blackmail. Camera in hand, he lay in wait outside Norma's bedroom during Lambton's next vist to her flat. At the appropriate time, at a signal from Norma, he burst into the room. With flashlights popping in his face, the stunned Lambton was frozen on film, in flagrante delicto, for posterity." [Levy's blackmail failed, but there was a resultant scandal, including the ethics of newspaper (where Levy tried to sell his photos] that published accounts of the story] [KIERNAN, T., 1986, p. 162] In Vienna, authorities knew of about 50 Jewish prostitution traffickers based in Czernowitz, "and they were a very inbred lot extending over two generations." [BRISTOW, p. 74] The most publicized 'white slavery' trial occurred in 1892, in Lemberg (once also called Lvov, then a Polish provincial capital, today called Lviv in Ukraine), where 27 traffickers -- all Jews -- were prosecuted for ensnaring women to go to Constantinople, Egypt, and India. Some of the women recruits understood their tasks, but others "were maids, others fieldworkers, one a butcher's helper, all apparently promised honest jobs."
For 20 months, it was not too burdensome or cumbersome for the Secretary to house records on her personal server but mysteriously in the fall of 2014 she decided to delete and attempt to permanently destroy those same records.”
Over the past decade, epidemiological surveys have identified several risk factors for AD, including aging, systemic infection or inflammation, midlife obesity, brain trauma, chronic peridontitis and reduced physical activity (Fig. 4). Interestingly, most of these risk factors involve the activation of innate immunity. Experimental evidence suggests that systemic inflammation exerts detrimental effects on brain function, which may last much longer as the inflammatory stimulus. In this context, induction of activity of the APP-processing enzyme BACE1 (ref. 78), loss of synaptic proteins and memory decline have been described in several mouse models of systemic inflammation79. Postmortem analysis of brains from patients who had suffered septicemia has shown a distinct increase in microglial activation80. Subsequently, clinical studies have suggested that patients with AD who experienced an infection show accelerated cognitive decline over 6 months that is positively correlated to peripheral levels of TNF at the time of infection81. Those data are complemented by findings of the US Health and Retirement Study, which has shown that septicemia is followed by a more-severe cognitive dysfunction in subsequent years82 and by data demonstrating persistent cognitive alterations, hippocampal atrophy and electroencephalograph changes in patients who survive sepsis83. Patients suffering from chronic periodontitis are also at higher risk of developing AD. Plasma concentrations of TNF and antibodies to periodontal bacteria are higher in patients with AD than in non-demented control subjects and are independently associated with AD84,85. Likewise, midlife obesity is associated with a shift from protective cytokines toward proinflammatory mediators derived from adipose-tissue macrophages86. The sustained release of proinflammatory cytokines may affect the brain in a way similar to the effect of systemic inflammation. Brain trauma is also characterized by a strong neuroinflammatory reaction. Here, microglial and astroglial activation is thought to mediate tissue reconstruction and the clearance of debris. Trauma-induced activation of microglia has been shown to increase the deposition of Aβ in a mouse model of AD87, and the mechanisms involved might include cytokine release and impairment of microglial clearance. The role of peripheral, bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells in mediating brain damage or Aβ clearance, however, remains highly controversial. It has been suggested that peripheral myeloid cells are able to enter the brain in mouse models of AD88,89 and that the cell-surface receptor CCR2 is essential for this entry63,64. In addition, there are also contradictory reports on which myeloid subset is responsible for the removal of Aβ. Both bone marrow–derived monocytes and perivascular macrophages have been suggested to be involved.

Conservatives like Achille Bonito Oliva and Arthur Danto announced that the avant-garde had reached the end of its history and attained the greatest era of freedom art had ever known - a mirror of the great freedom of the liberal utopia of the market. "New" left critics who spoke the language of Adorno (Suzi Gablik, Andreas Huyssen, Hans Magnus Enzenberger, and Nicos Hadjinicolau) viewed this liberal utopia of "reconciliation" as a euphemism for the completely administered society. They read the death of the avant-garde as the visible nightmare of a moment of unfreedom, a complete paralysis of the critical impulse resulting from their absorption and recuperation by the culture industry. Both fantasies affirmed the end of a mixture of radical art & politics, whether by obsolescence or impossibility. And both highlighted an external movement at the expense of the internal dynamic. The avant-garde is really dead, but not for the reasons invoked by the specialists of art. They were not innocent victims destroyed in their struggle with an external power - either crushed by totalitarian states or colonized by the culture industry - they were the vehicles of their own self-destruction. It's not a trivial thing that the term "avant-garde" was borrowed from military language - it refers to an elite group, organized by strict discipline, who goes into battle first to pave the way for the attack, perhaps sacrificing itself in the end so the army can advance the cause of its righteous war. If this metaphor started out as a parody, it became real in the course of history, and in the final instance, the avant-gardes became doubles of the very logic of territorial power they sought to challenge. It was the group NSK who, during the 1980s in Yugoslavia, unmasked this secret complicity in its most spectacular form. Laibach was born in 1980 in the republic of Slovenia. Against the new wave of democratization that followed Tito's death, Laibach enacted a theater of power that was, as Boris Groys has called it, "more total than totalitarianism." Laibach appears on the stage in black quasi-military uniforms with armbands, against a background of fascist, communist and religious symbols, swastikas made of axes dripping blood, national flags and deer antlers, black crosses, and moving images of wartime footage.
From the 1980s to the mid-2000s, the dominant brand within the far-right sector of skinhead subculture was neo-nazism, and such interracial co-mingling would have been unthinkable. In truth, there have always been skinheads of varying degrees of “whiteness” across the world who have sought to uphold strains of far-right politics. A prime example of how race is falling away as the dominant organizer within the extremist skinhead music scene occurred in 2013. Bound For Glory, one the first neo-nazi skinhead bands to emerge here, toured Japan with Aggro Knuckle, one of that country’s oldest skinhead bands. The two also released a split-record together. In that way, NYC Oi! Fest is an important microcosm of the landscape of “hate music” worldwide. Last year’s installment brought bands to New York City from as far away as Finland and Mexico. “Oi,” after all, encapsulates a broad range of skinhead-oriented punk and rock ‘n’ roll. Most Oi! fests and concerts book bands who offer little-to-no political overtones or messages. Their songs and the shows themselves often revolve around drinking and other subcultural markers, like banal expressions of patriotism. By inserting “Oi!” into its title, the fest’s promotors –– Dennis Davila of United Riot Records chief among them –– are putting forth their version of what skinhead identity and music should exist as, while directing hostility towards outsider and those they “other.” There is, of course, historical precedent for this. Efforts to reframe skinhead identity and music were first undertaken by the neo-Nazi political party National Front in England in the early 1980s. The efforts of those organizing NYC Oi! Fest –– a long-standing crew calling itself the 211 Bootboys, of which Davilia is a member –– aren’t wholly dissimilar from the National Front’s attempts to attract skinheads to their worldview.
The last lost boy he found was named Phillip Roman. Phillip, who was ten years old, had wandered away from his family while they were at Clingmans Dome, the highest point in the Smoky Mountains, and as happens more frequently and more suddenly than you could ever imagine, he simply seemed to disappear. This was in the summer of 1994, and Dwight McCarter, who had been a backcountry ranger for almost thirty years and was just about to retire, was called in to track him. Phillip had been lost for three days by then. “I’d been away for the first two,” he tells me. The authorities took McCarter to the Point Last Seen—or PLS, in ranger jargon—and showed him three different tracks. The first set of tracks was a bear. “I knew it was a bear in half a minute, but they wanted me to follow it to be sure, and the farther I did it just got more and more bear.” The second set of tracks was a bear, too. “But the third set of tracks belonged to Phillip,” he says. Listening to McCarter tell a story is to understand why stories are told: It’s a rush, the sound his sentences make, the voice his words come to me on. It’s better than a book. “So we set out into North Carolina,” McCarter says. Phillip didn’t know it, of course, but he’d left a clear trail for McCarter to follow, signposts almost. McCarter knew Phillip was right-handed, “and when a limb came to him, he’d break it forward with his right hand. You’d do the same thing. The broken branches pointed to the direction he’d gone.” They came to a small waterfall and saw that the tracks on the other side of it had changed: One foot was dragging now. “He’d fallen off the waterfall,” McCarter says. “Not enough to kill him but to hurt him pretty bad.” photo: Erika Larsen Bonus Images Phillip could not have gone far up the ridge. McCarter had the men fan out across it, working in a zigzag path up the hill to the top. The plan was to make multiple sweeps, but it didn’t take long for one of the men to holler, “Dwight, over here!

So keep doing it. Your good work has never been more important. Public service has always been a noble calling, and it always will be a noble calling. I’ll always be grateful for what we’ve accomplished together. And as a citizen who will continue to rely on the enormous differences you make, I’m excited to see what all of you do next. On behalf of Michelle and myself, thank you again for working so hard every single day in service of this country that we love so much.
After much council and community deliberation, including a public thread, poll , and a Policy Review topic , the OU Council has come to the decision that. Remember, a quickban is considered an extension of the initial banlist, meaning we are implying that Gengarite deserved to be on the initial banlist and is considered that overwhelmingly strong.Mega Gengar is not a Pokemon that will easily sweep teams, in spite of its 170 Base Special Attack and 130 Base Speed (enough to outspeed almost every unboosted Pokemon), and its offensive prowess is not the sole reason for its quickbanning. It is a Pokemon that allows teams to, with near 100% probability, remove specific counters or threats and open the way for an easy victory. This capability is especially pronounced against defensive teams, and to some extent any kind of team relying on slow Pokemons, to the point that the Council believes that Mega Gengar is stifling the development of defensive teams overall. Note, we don't necessarily mean just stall teams (though these are affected significantly), but defensive teams in general. This overall detriment to defensive teams (remember, not just stall) is considered a pronounced negative for the metagame's development (hence why we're not waiting on PokeBank to ban it).Shadow Tag allows Mega Gengar to trap and kill whatever Pokemon you want it to eliminate, generally the ones that give your team trouble or the ones that stop your sweeper. Defensively, Mega Gengar can easily switch in with its useful resistances and immunities to common types, and offensively, its high Speed and Special Attack stats and access to STAB Shadow Ball with Focus Blast as coverage allows it at least neutrally damage the entire metagame. In addition to its offensive and defensive prowess, Gengar has very useful support moves, such as Will-O-Wisp, Taunt, Destiny Bond, Hypnosis, and when PokeBank is legal, Perish Song.

With them they had religious talks on God and world, heaven and hell and on the meaning of life and the way of salvation. But with their keen and critical minds trained by Sanjaya's skepticism, they very soon realized the emptiness of all those assertions and the learned ignorance of these philosophers. None of these teachers could answer their probing questions, while the two friends themselves were quite able to reply when questioned. There is no record that tells us to which other teachers they had gone. But it would be surprising if the two truth-seekers had not met such mystics and sages as for instance the seer Bavari of great meditative power or the two teachers of Formless Infinity whose disciple the Bodhisattva was for some time. But from their life story we can conclude that the two attained as little to the world-transcending experience of liberation as the Bodhisattva did. What may have been the cause of that lack of attainment? There are two possibilities for spiritual seekers: either to gain inner peace and serenity by deep meditation (samadhi) or to seek for a clear teaching about the meaning of existence in its entirety, which encompasses the meaning of that inner peace. Those who had achieved such inner peace through meditation, mostly gave up any further search as they had found an overwhelming bliss which they believed to be the goal. But at its best, this bliss would last a few aeons in one of the celestial worlds, and then its kammic force would be spent, leaving the meditators in the same samsaric imprisonment as before. In former lives, this must have happened often to the Bodhisattva as well as to Kolita and Upatissa. Though the two friends had no recollection of such previous experiences, they obviously had an intuitive feeling that meditative bliss and its rewards were not the final goal, but only a temporary relief within the continuing cycle of suffering. Hence their foremost quest was for clarity about the concatenation of existence, how things hang together in this complex Samsara. But such clarity cannot be found without the help of a Buddha. Hence they had to continue their search until it had led them to the Buddha. In ages void of a Buddha's appearance, their search would have been as futile as the recurring attainment, enjoyment and again losing of Samadhi.

The democratic side tonight into a critical moment for Hillary Clinton can she finally close the deal or will there be another supplies like Michigan. Overnight during a town hall mrs. Clinton acknowledging she's not very good at this part of the campaigning. And went on to explain why you'll hear from her in a moment. Meantime confident Bernie Sanders fueled by Michigan hoping for another upset against Clinton. And tonight here in new poll showing Hillary Clinton with a slight edge in Ohio but that lead even smaller. And what the polls showed going into Michigan. ABC Cecilia Vega weave the Clinton acknowledging her weaknesses on the trail. Hillary Clinton in Chicago turning it attack on Donald Trump instantly. Campaign rallying cry that people run for president ought to unite our country not divide. Our country. But before true Bernie Sanders now closing the gap in Ohio. Few weeks ago people saying Bernie Sanders winning Ohio. No way encroaching on Clinton's lean. Good vote tomorrow people come out what better way to here. A Buckeye State lost not enough to block Clinton's path to the nomination. But it would be an embarrassing setback and a reminder of the Vermont senator's straight among young voters SNL this weekend joking that. It isn't morphing into Sanders to win over that coveted group. Millennial. You're fired up here angry and I'm angry too because the top 10%. Of the top one plus I'm good old ninety. And the only thing that. Clinton admits she still struggles to connect with some voters insisting she's not a natural campaigner like her husband or President Obama. I watch my husband campaign I watch present Obama campaign it is poetry I mean it is just. I mean I get carried away and I've seen them a million times you know I got us my government should you know both of them. I know that that's not necessarily my four. Retain and Hillary Clinton isn't the only one with a lot riding on tomorrow Bernie Sanders needs to win state and he needs to win delegates in order to stay in this race and that is why it outspending Clinton ink TV ads that every state except for one heading to the polls tomorrow. David. Cecilia Vega with us tonight to sue you thank you let's get right to ABC's Jonathan Karl tonight with the bottom line here.
https://archive.today/pel4K Ernest W. Adams, despite talking about representing all devs and standing against censorship at the same time he threatens to blacklist dissenting developers and justifies private censorship. https://archive.today/OM5aw https://archive.today/xh9Rp https://archive.today/gV4dL So that's the IGDA in a nutshell. Claiming to support equality and diversity in gaming development while calling for blacklisting, promoting bigotry, shunning debate, excusing censorship and playing favorites. Feminist Frequency Their descriptions of the games they criticize are full of cherry-picking, crass misinterpretations and plain falsehoods. In a particularly crass case, FF's video about Bayonetta from Februry 2010 was so full of factually wrong statements that it was removed. In June 2012 it was uploaded after being re-edited, taking it from 4:10 to 2:58 in length. The page in FF's website about the video does mention the edit, but of course, whitewashes the reason for the re-edit. The original video, now unavailable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcaKvZLNVek Mirror of the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbihPTgAql4 The re-edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17_bd03vGP0 The whitewashing on FF's website: https://archive.today/ixYyu#selection-137.0-137.467 FF uses footage from other people's let's-play videos without asking or even notifying them. Here's a long list of instances. https://archive.today/UGUwq Anita Sarkeesian The many factual inaccuracies and the theft of LP content both point towards what has become a common criticism of FF videos. The only two possiblities are that either the FF staff hasn't actually played the game at all, or played it and are willingly lying about it. Anita Sarkeesian often spouts her narrative of being a lifelong gamer, but footage from a lecture she delivered at Santa Monica College 2010, she openly admits that she "isn't a fan of videogames" and "actually had to do research", and "I would love to play video games but I don’t want to go around shooting people and ripping off their heads and it’s just gross" is nothing if not a statement that she's barely involved with the subject she claims to be a cultural critic of. The issue isn't whether she's a "real gamer" or not, but that she's criticizing cultural products she hasn't even consumed. It's exactly like judging a book by its cover.

NEW DELHI: Prospects of government formation in Delhi could hinge on a group of Congress MLAs breaking away to support a BJP government to avoid fresh assembly polls.The possibility of a split in the eight-member Congress unit in the Assembly has been doing the rounds for some time now. The moves for government formation have gathered momentum after the appointment of Satish Upadhyay as Delhi BJP chief and Amit Shah as national president.Shah is expected to consult BJP leaders soon as the party is inching towards taking a call on whether to attempt government formation or settle for extension of the central rule beyond August 2014.Party sources said six Congress MLAs might consider supporting a BJP government in Delhi as BJP's prospects seem most attractive in the assembly polls following its massive victory in the Lok Sabha elections.While Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh tried hard to quell the rumours by saying that there was no move by the party MLAs to make a breakaway faction, the political circuit is abuzz with the news of informal meetings between BJP leaders and Congress MLAs. Shoaib Iqbal, LJP MLA from Matia Mahal, also said to have met Congress's Okhla MLA Asif Mohd , its Mustafabad MLA Hasan Ahmad and Seelampur MLA Mateen Ahmad to discuss possibilities of forming a breakaway group to give outside support to BJP.Satish Upadhyay's appointment as Delhi unit president has prompted hectic activity in the party circle. Aam Aadmi Party could also get another chance if a Congress breakaway group decides to back Arvind Kejriwal 's party. AAP has already accused BJP of horse trading.The political move has received a fillip with Delhi lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung indicating that he would weigh the claims of any group making a bid to form a government.Upadhyay's appointment as Delhi unit president has prompted hectic activity in the party circle. On Tuesday, he met all key members of Delhi BJP and the seven MPs from the city, and will meet all MLAs on Wednesday. There is consensus within the Delhi unit against an early election, said sources. "We are exploring all options. In case, BJP can't form a government, Delhi can be under President's rule till next January," said a senior leader.Not all Congress MLAs are also enthusiastic about a repoll, though AICC, its apex decision-making body, on Saturday had set in motion preparations to give BJP and AAP a tough fight in the assembly polls.
“The reality is that the world needs coal for steelmaking and energy production,” said Geoff MacLellan, the cabinet minister who represents Glace Bay in the provincial legislature. “Everyone is aware of the risks of mining, and the environmental realities of fossil fuels. We get the importance of all those factors.” However, MacLellan said that as long as there is demand for coal, the Cline Group will be encouraged to continue mining. Stephen Thomas, energy campaign co-ordinator for the Halifax-based Ecology Action Centre, said selling Nova Scotia coal doesn’t make sense, given the worldwide push to deal with climate change. “It represents a huge step backward for the direction that Nova Scotia is headed in,” he said. While it’s true that economically depressed Cape Breton could use the jobs, Thomas said, the fact is that Nova Scotia’s green economy is producing far more jobs than the coal industry. Thomas said France, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Finland have all committed to phasing out coal plants — and China recently announced it will cancel construction of 100 plants. “They see the writing on the wall,” he said. Ontario made headlines in 2014 when it became one of the first jurisdictions in North America to eliminate coal as a source of electricity generation. Even energy-rich Alberta has announced plans to gradually phase out its coal-fired power plants, though not until the federal target of 2030. Nova Scotia’s Liberal government has said coal will likely play a role in the province’s electricity system until at least 2042, having won an exemption from Ottawa last fall. The province’s privately owned electric utility, Nova Scotia Power, has three coal-fired generating plants — two of them in Cape Breton. The utility, a subsidiary of Halifax-based Emera Inc., issued a statement Wednesday saying it will be working with Donkin’s management to find a way to use the coal, but testing will take some time. Thomas said it’s unlikely Donkin coal will ever be used in the province’s generating plants because of its high sulphur content. “There’s been no coal in Nova Scotia that has met their standards for the past 25 years,” he said. “The odds don’t look so good.” Read more: Two environmental groups slam Nova Scotia’s deal to use coal plants past 2030 The utility said the fuel must meet emissions requirements, comply with federal-provincial agreements on carbon reduction and be cost effective.

Donnie Johnston spent most of the morning exploring Pittsburgh. He’d stashed his heavy recorder in a bus station locker, then walked outside to meet the city. Donnie was accustomed to clear, fresh country air. He would forever remember Pittsburgh as a smoggy place. First, he walked west, toward the Point, where the tall stainless steel office buildings of Gateway Center offered evidence that the city was in the midst of great change. On one of those buildings he saw the lettering “KDKA.” This was an opportunity. Announcers Bob Prince and Jim Woods, he knew, were out west with the Pirates. But Donnie was familiar with another name -- Paul Long, a KDKA newsman who on occasion filled in to announce Pirates games. At the KDKA reception desk, Donnie explained who he was, why he was in town, and asked if he could see Long. Moments later, a bald man entered the room and greeted Donnie with what many Pittsburghers called the “voice of God.” Long was on his way to becoming a legendary anchorman in the city. The two chatted briefly. Donnie would remember it as a friendly conversation. Then Long gave the newcomer directions to the Civic Arena, and Donnie was on his way. By now, sidewalks were increasingly populated by teenage girls. Vendors hawked Beatles buttons, pennants, pictures, even wigs. Donnie met several girls from West Virginia, and for a while they all hung around together, wandering parts of the city, visiting a record store and taking pictures outside the Civic Arena. In one, each girl wears a skirt or dress and a “John cap” and holds a magazine photo of the Beatles. The sun had risen, warming the cool air and forcing the girls to squint. This was turning out to be a great day for the kid from Culpeper County. Donnie quickly discovered that his job as a radio reporter who would later come face-to-face with the Beatles gave him a sort of celebrity status. Girls began asking him favors. Some had gifts to offer their favorite Beatles. Could Donnie take them with him? One girl asked him to touch Paul McCartney, then find her afterward and touch her with the same hand. At the time, it was a perfectly understandable and reasonable request. The vast Civic Arena parking lot was filling with vehicles -- many of them great finned beasts with chrome bumpers and whitewall tires.
The strategy reduces the number of new technologies that must be approved.And there is also government help. On January 15, the Energy Department announced that it would provide funds to x-energy and a group that includes TerraPower and Southern Company to develop new reactor designs. X-energy is working on a high-temperature “pebble bed” design, and the TerraPower/Southern group is planning a molten chloride fast reactor. Pebble beds produce a higher-temperature steam with many uses, and fast reactors make better use of fuel, and their used fuel contains fewer long-lived materials.There is more to come.

KOLKATA: The Rs 22,000-crore LED television market is heading for a price war with the big three — LG Samsung and Sony — cutting prices by as much as 15% due to increased competition and as they seek to gain market share.The price cut, the steepest ever, comes at a time when the top three are facing growing threat from smaller brands like Micromax , Intex, TCL BPL and Sansui that are selling their products at prices that are Rs 2,000-10,000 cheaper, three senior industry executives said.Consumers, too, are showing readiness to buy these brands that are online-exclusive or are available both online and offline, much like in the smartphone market. They are also increasingly changing their TV sets every four-five years, as prices of largescreen models plunge and companies upgrade technology. LG, Samsung and Sony together control around 80% of the Indian LED TV market, but others are now capturing share slowly.“Globally, there has been no decrease in prices of LED televisions, but the big brands are under pressure to reduce prices in India due to sales taking a hit with several brands entering the market and playing on price. This is across television sizes, but the maximum focus is on the 32-42-inch segment, which alone accounts for over 55% of the market,” said the chief of a leading television maker.In a communication to trade, LG India attributed the price drop to “drive sellout velocity and gain market share”.Sony and Samsung said they have not dropped prices in the 32-inch segment. A Sony spokesperson said some price correction was done in large screen sizes due to those models reaching end-of-life.Samsung India’s vice-president Rajeev Bhutani said it, in fact, increased prices due to panel prices going up. However, retail executives said it dropped prices in some of the models after earlier raising those.Rishi Tandon, senior general manager for home entertainment at LG India, said while competition is always good, the TV market continues to be dominated by the top three players and the overall contribution and market share of smaller brands have not changed significantly. He said LG has further strengthened its market share.The head of a durable retail chain said consumers are now open to buying television sets which are available at value pricing.

It's a crack-up," says Zach Johnson, 25, who along with Jeffrey Max, 24, make up Fatal Farm, a blossoming Web-comedy production team whose subtle satirical videos often border on high-concept performance art. The WiFi cellphone episode is the most popular, drawing 1.3 million views. "We built our reputation on stuff that's silly," Johnson says. "Now we want to branch out to more mature work with a stronger narrative." That's why the Los Angeles duo is back in Dallas where they once attended the same boys' school before eventually heading off to film programs at New York University (Max) and the University of Southern California (Johnson). Lured by familiar surroundings and lax production codes ("You can't point a camera in LA without being asked for a permit," says Johnson), the team is filming its final Solutions goof. The decision to create a new episode wasn't easy. Fatal Farm dreamed up 17 Solutions, then burned out. E-mails clamored for more. The team was torn. "You don't really want to walk away, but it's so high-concept it's really not sustainable," Johnson says. In other words: Once you know it's fake, where's the joke? In contrast to the usual 2 to 3 minute fare, this episode could run as long as 10 minutes and "is more like a pilot for a TV show than a Web-based video," says Johnson, who plays Erickson. However the ambitious finale goes over, the Fatal Farm guys aren't worried. They have two other successful video concepts to their name, as well as sustained interest from Hollywood agents who they continue to rebuff. "So much on the Web today is B-movie lite," says Jason Nadler, head of the online division of United Talent Agency. "They're the sort of pioneer voice we're looking for, people who are taking risks and moving the dial." While Fatal Farm hopes to eventually be in business with mainstream entertainment companies, they'd prefer to stay independent for the moment. While that means taking occasional editing or advertising jobs to cover costs, it also allows them to keep control. Max says he and Johnson are "interested in longevity, and we're not in a rush to make deals and crank out media. What's great about doing work directly for the Web is that there's a community out there that will instantly give you a sense of how you're doing."
By Jonathan Allen NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton responded on Friday to a scathing assessment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that she was "extremely careless" with classified government secrets by shifting the blame onto her former colleagues at the U.S. State Department. After maintaining for more than a year that she did not send or receive classified information through her unauthorized private email server, she acknowledged on Friday she may have at least unwittingly done so, three days after the FBI concluded this happened at least 110 times.

"These are experienced diplomats, they have expertise in handling classified material," Clinton said in an interview with PBS Newshour. "They were not careless and the material that they sent, they did not believe that was classified." Clinton, who was the department's most senior classifying authority during her four-year tenure at its helm, did not address the FBI's conclusion that she herself sent information on topics classified as 'top secret', the highest level, through the private server she kept in her basement. It is a crime to mishandle classified information, and while FBI Director James Comey said on Tuesday there was evidence Clinton or her aides may have broken these laws, there was not enough evidence of criminal intent for a prosecution.

"Before God and with God we live without God in the world. "But here's the critical issue and the point where I think Rollins might have run off the rails. Specifically, Bonhoeffer isn't rejecting or denying the role of worship and prayer in sustaining the community of saints. Worship and prayer aren't eliminated. They are just. The religious, transcendent dimension isn't collapsed in a "death of god" move. The ritual is simply removed from public view as it is simply incomprehensible to the "world come of age." Worship and prayer are to be "words between friends." The best articulation of all this comes from a 1932 lecture Bonhoeffer gave in Berlin:This is a very different view of religion than what we find in. For Bonhoeffer there is an economy "between God and the community. "This brings me to Quibble #2. Rollins seems to be suggesting that we have to choose between "God as other-worldly object of love" versus "God as the act of love itself." This is framed as an either/or choice. But why? Why not both? Why can't be God be both immanenttranscendent? Can't both be endorsed?Take, as a real world example, Dorothy Day. Here we have an exemplary Christan when it comes to living out the works of mercy. If anyone is an example of ait was Dorothy Day.But here's the deal. Day was a devout Catholic who believed in God as an object of love. She attended Mass every day, sometimes twice a day. She prayed the Rosary constantly. God asof love sustained Day's living loveGod. Just as Bonhoeffer said the secret discipline would sustain us. And for Day it was "secret." Day didn't make the poor go to Mass with her. She didn't try to convert them. As far as the poor were concerned, Day was "religionless." God wasn't used by Day to create "enemies," injecting religion between herself and the poor. But let's be clear,, week in and week out.So how does someone like Dorothy Day fit in the scheme of? She's living a life of love, radically so, but with God as an object of love. Does that make sense in light ofIn short, why does Rollins insist we have to choose? Can't we, instead, be Christians like Bonhoeffer and Day? True, both Bonhoeffer and Day were extraordinarily concerned with how "religion" is a constant temptation, sucking love out of this world into the black hole of other-worldly spirituality.
The ports are a major source of income for state governments Venezuela's military has taken control of key airports and sea ports under the terms of a move rubber-stamped by parliament a week ago. The move centralises the running of the country's main transport hubs. President Hugo Chavez has pushed for the move, describing it as "reunifying the motherland, which was in pieces". Critics of Mr Chavez say the plans are unconstitutional, but the National Assembly backed them a week ago, saying they would improve essential services. State governments in Venezuela have controlled the country's most important airports, sea ports and major highways since a move towards decentralisation began some 20 years ago, the AFP news agency says. Many of the facilities seized on Saturday have since then fallen under the jurisdiction of state governments often hostile to Mr Chavez. Correspondents say the ports provide them with an important source of local revenue - and the removal of this revenue will now make the localities more reliant on central government funding. Power struggle Soldiers were dispatched to ports in three states governed by Mr Chavez's opponents on Saturday - Zulia, Carabobo and Nueva Esparta. They were also moving into Anzoategui, governed by an ally. Since the government lost a number of key seats, including the mayoralty of Caracas, in local elections last year, there have been regular clashes over jurisdiction between local mayors and the national government. The latest change to the law came just weeks after Venezuelans voted for a constitutional amendment granting Mr Chavez and other elected officials the right to stand for election beyond the previous limit of two terms. The socialist leader has indicated on several occasions that he intends to run again for office in 2012 and has talked of remaining in power until 2021.
During Infinite Crisis, an event designed to significantly alter the status of the DC Universe, the wizard Shazam was destroyed by the Spectre who had declared a war on magic,[13] and the Rock of Eternity destroyed, causing Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel to lose their powers a year later. [14] Captain Marvel is transformed into Marvel, a white-robed being who assumes Shazam's old post as caretaker of the Rock of Eternity, although he can only leave for up to 24 hours at a time. [15] Marvel drafts the now-powerless Freddy Freeman to undergo a quest to prove himself worthy of replacing Captain Marvel. Each of the six gods who contributed their powers — Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury — present Freddy with a trial (similar to the Labors of Hercules), which Freddy would have to complete successfully in order to be granted with that god's particular power. If he completes all six tasks, he will take on the name Shazam. [1] Zareb Babak, a demoted necromancer, serves as Freddy's guide during his trials. At the same time, however, a dark organization known as the Council of Merlin are backing their own candidate, a Creole sorceress named Sabina. If she wins the trials, then the power of Shazam will be lost to the Marvel Family and she will control it. Freddy and Sabina end up competing nearly neck-and-neck for many of the trials, eventually becoming equal in power as each earn the various powers of each god. One trial, the trial of Atlas, end prematurely when Sabina kills Atlas, and Zareb is forced to convince Apollo to take his place among the Shazam collective of gods. The competition culminated in a large battle, with Freddy, Marvel, and the Justice League battling Sabina and an army of demons summoned by the sorcerer Merlin. By willing to sacrifice himself to save the world, Freddy proves himself worthy of the power of Zeus, and Zareb reveals himself to be Zeus in disguise. Freddy says the magic word "Shazam" and gains the full powers of Shazam.
Bioluminescence, the emission of visible light by living organisms, is known to occur in many distantly related phyla, including the fungi. Although written observations of this phenomenon in fungal species are reported to date as far back as Aristotle (384-322 BC) and Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), and detailed studies have been conducted with many other organisms (i.e., insects, fish, dinoflagellates, bacteria), we know surprisingly little about the nature of the chemical reactions responsible for fungal bioluminescence, or even why this phenomenon occurs in fungal species.Like all other organisms in which it occurs, bioluminescence in fungi is an oxygen-dependent reaction involving substrates generically termed luciferans, which is catalyzed by one or more of an assortment of unrelated enzymes referred to as luciferases. In fungi, both the luciferans and luciferases involved remain largely unidentified. During the luciferan-luciferase reaction, unstable chemical intermediates are produced. As these intermediates decompose excess energy is released as light emission, causing the tissues in which this reaction occurs to glow or luminesce. Although the older literature reports some fungal species as producing white or blue light, all recent studies and observations indicate that bioluminescent fungi emit a greenish light with a maximum around 520-530 nm.Fungal luminescence has been hypothesized to attract invertebrates that aid in spore dispersal, which may be a suitable explanation for those species with luminescent basidiomes, but not for those in which only the mycelium emits light. Additional hypotheses include the attraction of predators of mycetophagous invertebrates, and even the function of emitted light as a warning to nocturnal heterotrophs that might consume the fungus or its substrate, similar to warning colorations observed in other organisms.It is also possible that bioluminescence in these fungi is nothing more than the by-product of some other metabolic process. Because the reaction is oxygen-dependent, it has been hypothesized that bioluminescence may have evolved as a method to consume excess oxygen produced in the cells of organisms during other metabolic processes (i.e., an antioxidant).Source [link]
The King of his Castle is no longer allowed into his castle. A feminist name Pence who wrote that was absolutely giddy at that outcome. So he can get his own place if he has enough money. Or he can move in with his mother, his sister or another relative. He might have a girl friend who would let him stay with her. And if none of this is possible, well then I guess he is sleeping in his car down by the river.If he has minor children, money will soon turn into an issue. Most men I know do not mind paying child support. They want their kids to have food on their plates, clothes on their backs, and a roof over their heads. But it does stress that man's finances. Child support is usually 33% of the man's gross income. Withholding for taxes, social security and health insurance can range up to 28% of his gross paycheck. So a man making $500 a week gross has only $825 monthly left over after withholding and child support. That is not enough money for an apartment here in Central Massachusetts. That does not include other expenses like heating, electric, gas, groceries, telephone, cable, car payment and car insurance. So he is in a financial hole. Estimates of homeless men run 82% to 94%. I am going to round that down to 80%.After the King has left his castle, his wife runs into a problem. She was use to getting his whole paycheck for the household. Now she get a third for child support. Figure they both work and made the same money, her budget went from 100% down to 66%. If she was running the house on $3,045. a month when the King was home, now without him she only has $2,220. Most households in America cannot withstand a 27% hit on the household account. She'll juggle the bills but eventually most wives figure out that they can pay all the smaller bills if they just does not pay the big bill. That would be the rent or the mortgage. So six to nine months after the King is out of the castle, the Queen, the Princes and the Princesses are also on the street. Domestic violence feminists state that 50% of victim spouses of domestic violence end up homeless at some time in their lives.The last group of homeless from these arrests are children.
With just a single AIM-9X left on Mob's jet, and having just shot down another plane, he and his wingman got cleared to return to the carrier. The other section of jets from VFA-37 was tasked to head to Mosul, Iraq to provide close air support for the then ongoing operation to route ISIS from the sprawling city. The two F/A-18Cs quickly ventured east to Iraq, where they would have to follow a totally different set of rules of engagement. In the end one of the aircraft ended up dropping weapons on ISIS positions in the city before finally return back to the USS George H.W. Bush. After executing a high-speed overhead break and landing aboard the ship, Mob taxied to a parking spot and got out of the jet. The scene was not like the triumphant ending moments of Top Gun, the Lieutenant Commander shook a few hands and was promptly told by the plane captain that he had to move along because the jet needed to rearmed and refueled as it was slated to head back into Syrian in hour. Even down below in the ship's squadron spaces Mob had to go about his normal business even though he had been the first Naval Aviator to down another jet in many, many years. As the Air Wing's Safety Duty Officer he had to make his rounds collecting safety reports from various units—not glamorous work after racking up an enemy kill. "The show goes on" as Tremel noted with a smile. There were a few after-action takeaways from the mission as well. First off, the pilots referenced the HUD tape and cockpit recordings from this engagement. We had reached out to multiple commands shortly after the incident to obtain it but we were told it was classified/not releasable. Hopefully that will change because it is probably pretty spectacular considering the close ranges involved with the engagement and the multiple flybys on the doomed Syrian Fitter. Additionally, everyone stressed how interactions with Russian aircrews happened all the time over Syria and were professional in nature. Even the Flanker that had been orbiting high above the Hornets when all this occurred followed them from a distance for a bit as they headed towards the tanker before turning back.
Next year's applications have been delayed The latest figures from the Student Loans Company suggest 28,000 people from England are still waiting to receive their loans and grants. Another 38,000 still have applications in the pipeline, although nearly half of these have had most of their money. The body, which runs the student support system for England, has been criticised in a report for the delays. It is drawing up an action plan to tackle the problems, which will include a management shake-up. The latest statistics from the Student Loans Company show more than a million applications for loans were made for this year - up in line with a 10% increase in applications to universities. Of these, 907,000 have been approved and 82,000 were withdrawn or not completed. Applications are still coming in, as people can apply for a loan up to nine months after their courses start. WHAT IS AVAILABLE, 2009-10 Tuition fee loan: up to £3,225 Maintenance loan: up to £3,564 non-means tested + up to £1,386 means tested Maintenance grant: £2,906 on household income below £25,000 tapers up to household income of £50,020 Maintenance loan reduced by 50p for every £1 of grant Bursaries: determined locally Special Support Grant instead of maintenance grant of up to £2,906 for those eligible for means tested benefits (loan not reduced) When the problems came to wider public attention in October, the SLC made the decision to focus on giving all students who had applied by late August their basic entitlement to a loan - and to deal with the extra means-tested elements afterwards. Among the 28,000 people still waiting for loans to be approved, the SLC says 5,000 are being processed but in the remaining 23,000 cases, "further information is required from sponsors". Among the 38,000 who have yet to receive all of their funds are 18,000 who have been given an "interim assessment" which means they will have had their basic loan paid, but not the means-tested element. This is why students with disabilities and those applying for childcare support have been particularly affected. The other 20,000 people in this category, the SLC says, are those whose applications have been approved but who still need to "make an online declaration", before payment can be triggered. Many of the thousands of people who have e-mailed the BBC News website since September have complained their documents were lost or mislaid by the loans agency.
At the 6.7 hectare site of what was once a large production and storage facility operated by the Clothing Department of the Imperial Japanese Army, referred to in 1923 as the site of the Honjo Clothing Depot [Hifukushō ato], over 35,000 peopled burned to death as a result of a whirlwind firestorm that enveloped that area on the night of 1-2 September. The areas that once comprised Tokyo and Yokohama had become defined by death, destruction, and upheaval. However deadly and confronting the earthquake calamity had been, the hardest tasks for government officials and for the citizens of eastern Japan—restoration of order, relief, and recovery—was about to begin. It would prove to be an undertaking of enormous magnitude. Sources in English J. Charles Schencking. The Great Kantō Earthquake and the Chimera of National Reconstruction in Japan.

Let us then endeavour to find what account he gives us of this fatherly authority, as it lies scattered in the several parts of his writings. And first, as it was vested in Adam, he says, Not only Adam, but the succeeding patriarchs, had, by right of fatherhood, royal authority over their children, p. 12. This lordship which Adam by command had over the whole world, and by right descending from him the patriarchs did enjoy, was as large and ample as the absolute dominion of any monarch, which hath been since the creation, p. 13. Dominion of life and death, making war, and concluding peace, p. 13. Adam and the patriarchs had absolute power of life and death, p. 35. Kings, in the right of parents, succeed to the exercise of supreme jurisdiction, p. 19. As kingly power is by the law of God, so it hath no inferior law to limit it; Adam was lord of all, p. 40. The father of a family governs by no other law, than by his own will, p. 78. The superiority of princes is above laws, p. 79. The unlimited jurisdiction of kings is so amply described by Samuel, p. 80. Kings are above the laws, p. 93. And to this purpose see a great deal more which our author delivers in Bodin’s words: It is certain, that all laws, privileges, and grants of princes, have no force, but during their life; if they be not ratified by the express consent, or by sufferance of the prince following, especially privileges, Observations, p. 279. The reason why laws have Edition: current; Page: [10] been also made by kings, was this; when kings were either busied with wars, or distracted with public cares, so that every private man could not have access to their persons, to learn their wills and pleasure, then were laws of necessity invented, that so every particular subject might find his prince’s pleasure decyphered unto him in the tables of his laws, p. 92. In a monarchy, the king must by necessity be above the laws, p. 100. A perfect kingdom is that, wherein the king rules all things according to his own will, p. 100. Neither common nor statute laws are, or can be, any diminution of that general power, which kings have over their people by right of fatherhood, p. 115.
Roberts has cultivated this bluster throughout her career, first as the head of the trial division at the prestigious Washington, D.C., Public Defender Service and then as a white-collar defense attorney. In 2002, she led Washingtonian’s list of the capital’s best lawyers. Roberts was “magic with juries, loved by judges, feared by opposing counsel,” according to the magazine. “Lots of people call themselves litigators, but if they were to go into a courtroom, they would fall flat on their faces,” Roberts told me. “A trial lawyer persuading 12 strangers who don’t know each other and probably don’t like each other to all agree that you should win? There’s nothing like it.” She worked at a series of top-tier firms, most recently as a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, which is known for absurdly high salaries—the average partner reportedly makes $2.7 million a year—and a hard-charging culture. Roberts, an unmarried, unrepentant workaholic, thrived in this environment. She told me that her staff had the day off only because they’d worked the entire All-Star weekend, and even that was a painful concession. “I haven’t taken a single day off” since starting the job, she said, smiling. “I frankly want to cancel holidays.” Roberts grew up just two miles from the union’s headquarters, in a South Bronx housing project, the fourth of five children. Her mother, who died shortly after Roberts passed the bar, raised the family on her own, subsisting on welfare checks and odd jobs. “We were very, very poor,” Roberts told me. “So there was no money to go to the theater or even to a movie. She had to find something to amuse herself.” Some ladies went to church every day; Elise Roberts passed her time in the galleries of criminal trials—free entertainment before the advent of Court TV—and brought her precocious daughter along. Roberts was, like her mother, fascinated by the law, but also outraged by its injustices, and after working her way through Wesleyan and UC Berkeley School of Law, she landed a job as a public defender in Washington, D.C.
Remember, you become what you believe. Look at things objectively. Find the lesson and move forward. Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart for too long. (Angel and I discuss this in detail in the “Adversity” chapter of 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently.) They see rejection as protection from what’s not meant to be. – Rejection doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough; it means the other person failed to notice what you have to offer. It means you have more time to improve your thing – to build upon your ideas, to perfect your craft, and indulge deeper into the work that moves you. Happy people know this and they don’t take rejection personally. The guy who didn’t call back, the potential job that didn’t pan out, or the business loan rejection letter are all universal signs that it wasn’t the best fit. Trust that something better suited for you is on its way. They are focused on the present. – Never let your past dictate who you are today, but let it be a lesson that’s part of who you will become tomorrow. No regrets. No looking back in anger. Just hold on to life and move forward. We have no way of knowing what lies ahead, but that’s what makes the journey even more exciting – that’s what makes life worth living today. Happy people know this, and that’s precisely why they make the most of the present. They dedicate time to meaningful pursuits. – When the Guardian recently asked a hospice nurse about the The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, one of the most common regrets was that people regretted not being true to their dreams. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it’s easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people do not honor even half of their dreams and end up dying knowing that it was due to choices they made, or didn’t make. Good health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it. As they say, there are seven days in the week, and “someday” isn’t one of them. They are fully committed to their top priorities. – If you’re interested in something, you will do what is convenient. If you’re committed to something, you will do whatever it takes. Period. And ultimately, it’s commitment that creates outcomes worth smiling about.
Suburbs away from city centres had lower rents and less congestion.Postwar growth in car ownership made possible the shift to a manufacturing economy with a strong suburban presence. It also led to the demise of many small towns and the rise of regional centres.Today, however, manufacturing employs only 9 per cent of the workforce and accounts for just 7 per cent of GDP. The thing to note is that this seeming decline in manufacturing has involved only a small and quite recent fall in the quantity of things we manufacture in Oz.Similarly, the decline in agriculture's share of employment and GDP has occurred even though the quantity of rural production is higher than ever. The trick is that these industries didn't contract so much as other parts of the economy grew a lot faster, shrinking their share of the total.One of those other parts is mining, of course. But get this: "While Australia's natural resource deposits are typically in remote areas, workers in cities make a critical contribution to the industry's success," the report says. "For instance, in Western Australia, where the most productive mining regions are located, more than one third of people employed in mining work in Perth. "That's partly because of fly-in fly-out, but mainly because many of these workers are highly skilled engineers, scientists, production managers, accountants and administrators.So what explains the greater and still-growing economic significance of big cities, so that Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth now contribute 61 per cent of GDP? The rise of the knowledge economy.Increasingly, our prosperity rests not on growing, digging up or making things, but on knowing things. Our workforce is more highly educated than ever, and this is the result. "Knowledge-intensive jobs are vital to the modern economy. They drive innovation and productivity, and are a critical source of employment growth. In the last 15 years there has been much higher growth in high-skilled, compared to low-skilled, employment," the report says.Knowledge-intensive activities aren't confined to jobs in the services sector, but are also increasing in mining and manufacturing. They often involve coming up with new ideas, solving complex problems or finding better ways of doing things.But here's the trick: it suits many of the knowledge workers, and the businesses that employ them, for those workers to be crowded into big cities, as close in as possible.

More recent documents suggest that the attribution of the quote to Victoria is in fact misguided, instead belonging to Queen Elizabeth I. [ citation needed ] An interview with Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone in 1976 states that the Princess asked her grandmother about this quotation and that Victoria said that she had never said the famous phrase (see the clip at 5:56 in this video, from the 2001 BBC program Reel Victorians: Nineties Girls; the clip is from an interview that originally aired in the 1977 BBC program Royal Heritage: Victoria, Queen and Empress - The Princess Alice Interview).

NEW DELHI: In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Make in India" campaign, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has finally given green signal to the two much awaited big-ticket FDI proposals for setting up diesel and electric locomotive plants in Bihar at a cost of Rs 2,400 crore.Ending the suspense over the fate of Madhepura electric locomotive plant and Marhora diesel locomotive plant, Railways has finalised the financial bidding for the high-value joint venture projects after considerable delays, re-thinking and prolonged due diligence amid repeated revision of bidding documents.The Request for Proposals ( RFP ) containing financial bidding documents for both the plants are ready and the shortlisted bidders have been intimated the same, said a senior Railway Ministry official.While four global firms -- Alstom, Siemens, GE and Bombardier -- have been shortlisted for the proposed electric locomotive factory at Madhepura, two multinationals -- GE and EMD - are vying to bag the diesel locomotive plant at Marhora.The estimated cost of the factories is about Rs 1,200 crore each. The financial bidding will be opened on August 31 and there will be two pre-bid meetings held in between, the official said.With the government allowing 100 per cent FDI in the railway sector, setting up of the two locomotive plants in joint venture model is crucial for Railways to give a boost to its infrastructure. The two projects are among top eight infrastructure projects being monitored by the PMO.The Madhepura plant will manufacture 800 electric locomotives of 12,000 horse power (HP) over 11 years. While five electric locomotives will be imported, 795 will be manufactured at Madhepura, as per the bidding condition.Marhora plant will produce 4500 HP and 6,000 HP diesel locomotives using state-of-the-art technology.In the course of about 10 years after commissioning, the proposed Marhora plant is expected to manufacture about 1,000 diesel-electric locomotives, that is 100 locomotives annually.While 700 diesel locomotives will be equipped with 4,500 horse power (HP), 300 diesel locomotives will be manufactured with 6,000 HP, said the official.Railways will have 26 per cent equity while the global players will have 74 per cent equity in each of the plants at Madhepura and Marhora.
Tom went to Military Academy and was a Fire Fighter until Lyme Disease (which at the time the government penalized doctors for treating) placed him in severe pain causing complications and crippling effects, and finally leading to a coma and an intensive care extended hospital stay. After tracing back the disease through research to the Plum Island Facility and a government Operation called Paperclip, he was determined to protect by informing the public what he went through. All the more for his understanding these things the mainstream media and public do not talk about, ….. it is kept from the people. But as he regained some normality, the drive to compare history with the present lead to profound discoveries in the historical record. Each new day since then has been one more inspirational after the next…the TRUTH will set us free. We have been under a silent war style attack….economic, psychological, administrative, legislative, and education system corrupted. It is long passed time that the people stopped putting their faith in corporations, their media, and their foundations and endowments that have enslaved us all. In the guise of philanthropy, we have been literally “dumbed down”, pacified, toxified, and habitualized as far as big pharma, which had its origins in the re-creation of synthetic natural molecules by I.G. Farben which was a conglomerate of Bayer and a few others ……they called the individuals who were using these same compounds only giving them in natural forms to their patients, and they sought and received patents on nature, and began the largest scam in the history of the world next to the complete fabrication of the most current version of American History. We reveal how where why and who……..and we teach the public the best provable version of American History that you are likely to ever see. You will not see our material in government run schools……which is why you should embrace and support what we do. We do not get paid for this portion of our hard work.
text Williams hits one of his career 521 home runs, shown here in the late '50s. TONY TOMSIC/WIREIMAGE/GETTY IMAGE THIS STORY BEGAN two years ago, when I reached out to Claudia about meeting at her home in Hernando. The timing never worked for her because she struggles to look past her obsessions: nursing school and a book she wrote about her father, which started as a stocking stuffer about lessons she learned and turned into a cathartic exploration of the person she's still trying to be. Finally she said yes. The first visit lasted a week in the fall of 2014, and we made paella and she told funny stories about her dad -- he'd call the public phone in European hostels and boom at unsuspecting travelers, "Is CLAUDIA WILLIAMS there? This is her FATHER! OL' TED WILLIAMS!" -- and she got melancholy later and said, "We need to laugh more." I think I'm just looking for him to still be proud of me. - Claudia Williams She let me poke through the family's filing cabinets, its safes, her dad's hospital records, anything I wanted -- she could prove, she said, that her father agreed to be frozen. We talked for hour upon hour. To her, the many accounts of Ted Williams are all fatally flawed because most people didn't understand that the two famous acts of his life -- ballplayer and fisherman -- occurred only because he was hiding from the third and final act of his life: fatherhood. He'd been raised by an erratic and absent mother. He had a cousin who was murdered by her husband, and a criminal brother who died young and angry. He hid in the hyperfocus required by baseball and fishing; most nights after ballgames, he returned to the hotel where he lived -- he never purchased a home in Boston -- and tied fishing flies alone. He preferred to spend offseasons in the woods or on the water. Once, he arrived late to spring training because he lost track of time while hunting wolves in a cold northern forest, and the media focused so much on the process story of the tardiness that nobody seemed to notice the window Williams had briefly opened into his truest self: He sought peace in the wilderness with wolves. TED WILLIAMS HATED his childhood home, leaving before graduation the same as Claudia, never going back.

His second book, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, identifies 65 risks of GMOs and demonstrates how superficial government approvals are not competent to find most of them. Jeffrey Smith recently released a new movie: Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives . The documentary tracks a certain category of things that are going wrong - or several categories - in lab animals. So, when the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, for example, reviewed the peer-reviewed published studies, they said: ". Jeffrey Smith has stated:Jeffrey Smith is not the only researcher speaking out about this highly controversial issue, many scientists like Arpad Pusztai PhD, have been attacked and ridiculed when they published their research detailing their concerns associated with genetic engineering. Read the following article for more on this issue:What conclusions are we to draw from such information? Why are scientists being attacked? Why is evidence denied? And are we really a population at risk? And if these claims are true, what are the health risks associated with consuming a diet loaded with GMO's?Based on the research gathered by Jeffrey Smith it would appear there is a connection between GMO's and the increasing onset of diseases of the immune system. It is important to present additional data to make a compelling argument. Last year I attended the National Heirloom Seed Exhibition in California . The event was organized as part of the California Right to Know initiative or Proposition 37. The event had the following guest speakers, Percy Schmeiser, Organic Consumers Association ) Ken Rosoboro ( The Organic & Non-GMO Report ) and Dr. Don Huber Emeritus Professor at Purdue University. Many of the speakers shared the importance of the Right To Know labeling initiative and spoke at length about the growing health and environmental concerns of GMO's. In addition to Jeffrey Smith, Dr. Don Huber spoke about his research and his disturbing findings, regarding the effects of genetic engineering on the environment, plants, animals, and humans.Dr. Huber's talk was titled 'Impacts of Glyphosate & GMO's on Crops, Animals, People and the Environment'. His specific areas of training include soil-borne diseases, microbial ecology, and host-parasite relationships. Dr. Huber taught plant pathology, soil microbiology, and micro-ecological interactions as they relate to plant disease as a staff Professor for 35 years. Dr. Huber spent over 40 years in military and professional capacities evaluating man-made and natural threats, including biological warfare for military intelligence.
One approach to do so is providing some form of walkthrough or welcome screen, outlining the functionality of your application. This will really help users to be aware of why they will be asked for permissions, whilst also hopefully being given more trust to grant them. It is also possible to request multiple permissions during the same request. In most cases this won’t be necessary and should not used unless it is really crucial. A good use-case for this is at app launch where the app can’t function without the required permissions. For example, an SMS app that requires access to contacts in order function would be able to ask for both the SMS and Contacts permissions when the app is launched.
