She turned children into deathless software slaves in the sky, in the time before the Collapse, before Sobornost. That is what pulls me to the home of humanity now, the knowledge that this memory has a purpose, that there is something in the world of ghosts that I need.And then there is the closed door.I open my eyes. The Box is still spinning. Ibeen distracting myself. Earth is where the answers lie – and inside the locked room in my head.I take the Box and hum a few notes of Stan Getz. A circular opening appears in the curving surface of one of the walls. Much of the ship’s structure is made from Oortian smartcoral – or väki, as they call it – and it responds to music. I have had enough time to watch Mieli to figure that out. No doubt the ship knows what I’m doing, but I like the modicum of privacy that comes from having a hiding place.I put the Box inside and make an inventory of the contents. A couple of zoku jewels – tiny dark amber ovals the size of quail eggs – stolen on Mars when the detective Isidore Beautrelet and I went to his girlfriend Pixil’s reincarnation party. There is also her Realmspace sword, which I brought with me from the battle with my other self, Jean le Roi.It’s not much, but it’s a start.I put a zoku jewel in my pocket for good luck, lock the rest of my paltry secrets away and go looking for Mieli. ***Mieli prays to the Dark Man in the main cabin of the ship. The songs come to her haltingly at first but, after a while, the sculptures in the walls start moving to the sound of her voice, twisting into the dark countenance of the god of the void. It is a song Grandmother Brihane taught her, only to be sung in dark places, on dark journeys. But as she slips into meditation, the images become her reflections: many Mielis looking at her in the walls, their faces the colour of dirty comet ice.She stops, staring at them. The spherical candles floating in the air, their tiny heart-flames emanating light and a soft cinnamon smell, the song – none of that matters. The hollow feeling inside her is back.There are things she should be doing. Preparing cover identities for the approach to Earth.

It is intended to intimidate, and at most injure, but the purpose is not to kill. One general guideline: *Use from light to heavy: shock, tear gas, rubber. We must minimize damage when possible. Grenade 30, the shock grenade, was designed to stun and scare by creating a loud noise. The instructions said that, if detonated within two metres of a person, the grenade could damage the eardrums and cause light injuries, so Lea told the demonstrators to step back a bit. They backed up, still facing the sun umbrella, and after a while the boy took his fingers out of his mouth and gave her a hesitant thumbs-up. She didn’t know quite how to respond, so she gave him a thumbs-up, too. Then she quickly put her hand back on her weapon. The shock grenade was orange, and cone-shaped. It had a red stripe encircling it. She held it in her hand and then bent to the ground to lift a rock. She dropped it into Tomer’s hand. “You’re the soldier,” she said. “And, besides, it’s been longer since I last learned about this stuff. Let’s practice.” They pretended that the rock was a grenade. She gave him the instructions as if she knew them by heart. She reminded him to keep the grenade in the palm of his hand and to secure the lever with his index finger. She explained how to thread the middle finger of his left hand inside the safety, as if it were a ring, and to pull it with a spin of his wrist, as if he were checking his watch. She raised her voice at him a bit, because he pulled his arm back for the practice throw without keeping his eyes on it. “The instructions say after you take the safety out you have to look at the grenade at all times, because you only have three and a half seconds until it explodes. What if you took your hand back and hit a wall?” “But I know there’s no wall behind me,” he said. “What if there were, suddenly? What if a bird came? It is not nice to have something explode in your hand, even a shock grenade.” After a couple of dry runs, it was time for the real thing. The boy had his fingers in his mouth again, and one of the men was wiping his brow. Heat radiated from the asphalt between them. “O.K.
In the world of medicine, "skeptics" claim to be the sole protectors of intellectual truth. Everyone who disagrees with them is just a quack, they insist. Briefly stated, "skeptics" are in favor of vaccines, mammograms, pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy. They are opponents of nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, massage therapy, energy medicine, homeopathy, prayer and therapeutic touch.But there's much more that you need to know about "skeptics." As you'll see below, they themselves admit they have no consciousness and that there is no such thing as a soul, a spirit or a higher power. There is no life after death. In fact, there's not much life in life when you're a skeptic.I thought it would be interesting to find out exactly what "skeptics" actually believe, so I did a little research and pulled this information from various "skeptic" websites. What I found will make you crack up laughing so hard that your abs will be sore for a week.Take a look...All the beliefs listed above were compiled from "skeptics" websites. (I'm not going to list those websites here because they don't deserve the search engine rankings, but you can find them yourself through Google, if you wish. )If you really look closely at the beliefs of "skeptics," you discover their. They're really skeptical about some things -- like vitamins -- but complete pushovers on others such as the scientific credibility of drug company studies.Here are some of the many things that "skeptics" should be skeptical about, but aren't:Summing up the position of the "skeptics" is quite simple: Nature is bad, chemicals are good!If we only had more chemicals injected into more babies, the world would be a better place, they say. If we could only ban all plants, herbs, vitamins and supplements, we'd all be so much healthier because then we'd take more pharmaceuticals!Seriously. This is what they believe. They openly admit this is their position.And all you people drinking green smoothies, and growing your own food, and getting natural sunlight, and taking care of your own health, and drinking herbal tea... well you're all just fools, say the skeptics. You're all just too stupid to understand "real" science. Because if you understood real science, you'd give up all those useless herbs and superfoods and healing vegetables and you'd be taking twenty different prescription medications instead.Then you'd be really smart, see. Because all those chemicals make you healthy and smart.
Electrical circuits called "crossovers" (usually capacitors and coils in parallel circuits) feed the appropriate section of frequencies to the appropriate driver. A 12 db per octave turnover/roll-off slope has proven about optimum for this purpose, in order to minimize driver duplication without creating an audible hole in the system's overall frequency response curve. Simpler, cheaper and inferior crossovers may have six db or even three db per octave slopes and should be avoided. Every crossover point creates distortion and frequency response irregularities, so it is wise to minimize them. You don't want two dissimilar drivers reproducing the same frequency. The best solution to this dilemma is the two-way system (one crossover point), which means a specialized "woofer" for low frequencies (for example, 20-500 Hz) and some sort of midrange/treble driver (tweeter) for the higher frequencies (500-20,000 Hz in this case). Drivers with such a wide frequency range capability are expensive and usually large, so a more common solution is the three-way system, typically with a woofer (for example, a 10" diameter cone), midrange speaker (4" cone) and tweeter (1" dome). A four-way system adds a "super tweeter" for the highest frequencies. These multi-way systems allow the use of progressively less capable (and therefore cheaper) drivers at any given price point. I admit to a long standing bias in favor of horn-loaded compression drivers for the midrange and high frequencies, as they project more direct sound to the listening position and are usually more efficient than direct radiating drivers. I also prefer two-way (one crossover point) systems over three or four-way loudspeakers with multiple electrical crossovers. The best two-way systems have often used a 12" or 15" woofer combined with a 500 Hz or 800 Hz horn with compression driver for the mid/high range. Such systems, if good quality, are expensive! They are also widely used as studio monitors and in professional sound reinforcement applications, such as live concerts. The compression drivers that power mid/high frequency horns are quite similar to the ubiquitous dome tweeter. In fact, the dome tweeter was originally adapted from a compression driver detached from its horn. Horns very efficiently direct their output over a defined, moderately wide, listening area. (Horns pretty much throw like they look.) Domes are less direct and efficient, but their sound distribution, not constrained by the horn bell, is considerably wider.
TC: More important to develop a culture of transparency. We need it here on Capitol Hill as well as the UN, this committee won’t let go of this issue JS: UN office building in NY, that’s all it is an office building. I objected to the building at the time, too expensive. The Senate did accept a limitation of the loan, that will go to conference, maybe we should tighten the language. Transparency is a problem because no one can tell us who’s been paid how much. That will eliminate abuse and corruption Digitized Video File Label: 050721_JEG_679 Clip Labels: 050721_JEG_679_A
Screaming about it won't help you. HAN (interrupting) Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee. THREEPIO But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid. HAN That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their socket when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that. THREEPIO I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, Artoo. Let the Wookiee win. Luke stands in the middle of the small hold area; he seems frozen in place. A humming lightsaber is held high over his head. Ben watches him from the corner, studying his movements. Han watches with a bit of smugness. BEN Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. LUKE You mean it controls your actions? BEN Partially. But it also obeys your commands. Suspended at eye level, about ten feet in front of Luke, a "seeker", a chrome baseball-like robot covered with antennae, hovers slowly in a wide arc. The ball floats to one side of the youth then the other. Suddenly it makes a lightning-swift lunge and stops within a few feet of Luke's face. Luke doesn't move and the ball backs off. It slowly moves behind the boy, then makes another quick lunge, this time emitting a blood red laser beam as it attacks. It hits Luke in the leg causing him to tumble over. Han lets loose with a burst of laughter. HAN Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. LUKE You don't believe in the Force, do you? HAN Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. Ben smiles quietly. HAN It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. BEN I suggest you try it again, Luke. Ben places a large helmet on Luke's head which covers his eyes. BEN This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. LUKE (laughing) With the blast shield down, I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight? BEN Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. Han skeptically shakes his head as Ben throws the seeker into the air. The ball shoots straight up in the air, then drops like a rock.
“We have sent a recommending favouring the denotification of 77.6 km of national highways cutting through the city,“ he said.National highways (NH) 44, 75, 209, 275, 4 and 7 branch out in six directions from the General Post Office in the heart of the city.An excise department official said: “We have issued notices and we will freeze all alcoholic beverage stock on July 1 and allow their sale only either on their relocation or on removal of legal difficulties.“
But, as former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was quoted as saying in an interview to the German news magazine Der Spiegel in the mid-1990s, Israel is “a knife plunged into the heart of the nations of this region.”It is the difference between recognizing Israel as an existing fact, which Yasser Arafat did in a letter to Yitzhak Rabin in 1993, and PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s continuous refusal to recognize Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.The latter type of recognition would signal a recognition not only of Israel the fact, but of its legitimate right to exist. An existing fact you might believe you can eventually move; a legitimate right is something you will have to accommodate yourself to.The governments of Jordan and Egypt have come around to recognizing that Israel is an immovable object in the region. Not only is it an immovable object, but also one that could be helpful to them. So they cooperate.The people, however, are at a different place, nourished for decades on the idea that Israel is an oppressor, a usurper, a tool of the colonialist West, a passing historical episode. Even in countries with which Israel has peace treaties, such as Egypt and Jordan, this narrative has never been abandoned.During the 30 years when Mubarak ruled Egypt with an iron fist, there was a huge anomaly in the relationship with Israel.On the one hand Mubarak carefully kept the peace treaty, yet on the other he let a virulent anti-Israeli, even antisemitic press flourish in the country. Wasn’t that a contradiction? Peace on one hand, yet hatefilled articles and television programs in the state run media on the other? It was a contradiction, but one that served Mubarak’s purpose. The peace with Israel was good for Egypt (just as it was good for Israel). But encouraging the hate of Israel on the street was also good for Mubarak, because it diverted the public’s attention from his abuses of power and the real issues facing the country – issues that came to the fore in the events of 2011 that deposed him.Saudi Arabia and Israel, according to various accounts, currently have close security cooperation because of the common threat of Iran and jihadist fundamentalist terrorism, whether of the Shi’a or Sunni variety.But the Saudis are unable to make any of that cooperation public, unwilling to admit to these ties.
And I respect Parliament and that’s where the work is happening. I respect … there’s very few ministers who actually, actually I can only think of one, who sit though parliamentary debate on their own bills. And that’s, and should I say for credit where credit’s due, Jason Kenney. When his bills are being debated and when I rise to criticize his legislation, he actually knows what I’m talking about and will make a reasoned defence of his own legislation. But for the most part, it’s like a ritualized form of theatre. And that’s dangerous. It’s not just a relic, sort of an anachronism, that we still have parliamentary democracy. That’s the system. And the problem is PMO, not Parliament.”
, side mission "Identity Theft", voiced by Kevin Conroy. Initially part of an independent medical team working inside Arkham City to service the prisoners, he was implicated in the theft of aid supplies. Prior to being confronted, Elliot reportedly removed his face. Over the course of the game's storyline, Hush resurfaces as a serial killer who dissects his victims' faces before brutally murdering them – earning the moniker 'Identity Thief' from the Gotham press. Although these actions were written off by Arkham City's private security force as the product of gang disputes, Batman proves more diligent in his investigation – allowing players to track his quarry to a crude surgery theatre. It is revealed that Hush is now mimicking Bruce Wayne down to the smallest detail, having used Arkham City inmates as "donors" for his facial reconstruction. Elliott, apparently ignorant to Wayne's double identity, remains at large, warning that he will continue seeking revenge on his childhood acquaintance. Kevin Conroy reprises his role as Hush in Batman: Arkham Knight, appearing as part of the Most Wanted side mission "Friend in Need". Although he is not seen in costume, he appears disguised as Bruce Wayne. During the midst of Scarecrow's takeover of Gotham City, Hush impersonates Bruce Wayne (following the events of Batman: Arkham City where his face was grafted to look identical to Wayne) and enters Wayne Tower. He captures Lucius Fox to bypass the retina scan to steal his former friend's fortune. When confronted by Batman, the Dark Knight reveals his identity of Bruce Wayne to Hush. When Hush turns his gun on Batman during the confusion, the Caped Crusader disarms him and Lucius Fox slams a glass jar onto his face, before Batman knocks him out. As Batman can't take Hush to the Gotham City Police Department, he tells Lucius Fox to lock him up in Wayne Tower's vault. Batman then contacts Alfred stating that Hush has been detained and will be brought to trial once Scarecrow's takeover is thwarted.

Firpo was born on October 11, 1894, in Junín, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 9 he moved with his family to Buenos Aires and at the age of 20 he began training with amateurs boxers. He is considered the father of Argentine boxing, for the massive devotion and support after his fight with Jack Dempsey in 1923. On December 10, 1917 he began his professional career, measuring 1,88 meter and weighing 98 kilos. He was then nicknamed “The wild bull of the Pampas “, after an American journalist saw him bleeding badly during a fight, but staying on his feet. On April 30, 1920 he became the South American Champion, after a KO in the first against Dave Mills, in Santiago de Chile; where he had arrived by foot (crossing the Andes), due to lack of money for transportation.. With anyone knowing he had a fractured humero, on September 14, 1923, he fought for the World Heavy Weight Championship in New York against Jack Dempsey. The fight turned into a myth and many people think that it was the biggest fight of all the times. Jack Dempsey defeated Firpo by K.O. in the second round, after being thrown out of the ring in the Polo Grounds of New York. During this intense and historical fight, Firpo fell approximately seven times in the first round; but at two minutes and a half of the first round, after his seventh fall, he recovered and hit Dempsey so hard that he threw him out of the ring for 17 seconds. There was a lot of controversy around this fall because the umpire did not end the fight and ultimately Firpo was defeated. The umpire, Johnny Gallagher, was suspended for five weeks by the Municipal Commission of New York. That day Firpo became a boxing legend for Argentinean fans. In 1926 he retired from boxing after defeating Spalla for the second time; but returned one more time ten years later at the age 41. On June 11, 1936 he fought his last fight, at Luna Park Stadium, abandoning in the third round. His records indicate that he won 31 fights, tied 7 and lost 4. He died on August 7, 1960.

It was the second GSL tournament to travel overseas, with the semifinals and finals played at IPL5 in Las Vegas. That also made it one of the most rushed tournament in Code S history, with the schedule being condensed to meet the date of the live event.The semifinals featured a rag tag bunch of players that almost no one had picked to get to Vegas. There was Innovation, a KeSPA player that had started his SC2 career with a poor record in Proleague. Ryung, the eternal sidekick to MMA, vital to SlayerS' cause but always overlooked. HyuN, the masterful online player and king of the IPL Fight Club, who always choked when it came to offline events. And finally, Sniper the league breaker, who had knocked out fan favorite after fan favorite.Hyun and Sniper made it to the finals after victories over Innovation and Ryung respectively, but the audience still wasn't convinced. They were both finalists by making it into the grand final, but the nature of the format and the lack of preparation time made people suspect if these two were truly the best players in the world. Adding on top of all that being it was a ZvZ, a match-up that was starting to become redundant in tournaments, and you had a recipe for disaster if the games weren't good.Luckily, they were. It might not be remembered as one of the greatest finals of all-time, but it was enjoyable, going to all seven sets. The seventh game was the best of the entire series, both players tip toeing on disaster and fighting back from big disadvantages. With an unmarked base at the bottom right, Sniper was able to get the final one-up on his opponent, riding his momentum to a crushing final battle victory.On top of that, the crowd in Las Vegas didn't care that it was a ZvZ, or that the players in front of them weren't the biggest stars of the Korean SC2 scene. It was the GSL, the world's greatest tournament, live in the United States. That's what truly mattered to them, and they let everyone know it with their cheers.
We were recording the majority of stuff for pledgemusic.com and I'm just praying that we had this one clip, I think we do, but he was trying to do this one part, I had this one really crazy part that Gar [former drummer Gar Samuelson] could do, but it was one of those really weird kind of like pat your stomach and rub your head kind of things and I kept saying doing it like this and he couldn't do it and he was getting madder and madder and madder and I couldn't stop laughing, and he kept trying and he started swearing ... I started crying I was laughing so hard and I said, 'you've gotta stop', because I thought that I was going to have a heart attack. I couldn't breathe. “He sat there and he couldn't hear what I was saying, but I could everything that he was saying. It was like, ‘shit, f**k, damn it, shit, goddamn it, shit’ and it was getting madder and madder and I'd never heard him swear the whole time and he started on a total friggin’ melt down.” One of the most easily recognised differences between Dystopia and other recent Megadeth releases is the return of shredding guitars and dazzling solo fret play. It is a release far closer to the vibe of Peace Sells and Rust In Peace than Endgame and Thirteen. Baffling listeners with a slew of changes and copious lashings of technical brilliance isn’t necessarily in Mustaine’s mind when it comes to writing. "I don't think it has to be that way,” he said. “I'm sure to you it seems that way because to me it seems that way sometimes too.
Were those songs written with that in mind? Lisa: Conceptually that’s how we always imagined the music video. Storyline-wise we liked the idea of “You Ruin Me” then leading into a song like “Cruel.” “You Ruin Me” is a really broken song. There’s not much of a silver lining to that moment because there wasn’t one. When we wrote it, I was nothing but devastated. I wasn’t in the place of afterthought. There was no “You screwed me over and now I feel empowered.” It was a place of great sorrow because of great love. “You Ruin Me” because I’m heartbroken, but “You Ruin Me” because I love you so much. There’s a strength and power in vulnerability that I think that in itself is powerful, to be able to be okay with that. Leading into “Cruel,” that was just, you know, we’re always going to be vengeful little bitches at the end of the day.
Acting for the sake of good as a lich is admirable but will not ensure that you are saved from whatever retribution you have wrought by tampering with the flow of life. Features Master of Undeath During the painful process of becoming a lich, your body changes drastically. Your flesh melts away, and your "body" is a walking skeleton in robes, held together by dark magic. Benefits come with this transformation: You become immune to poison and the poisoned condition, and gain resistance to necrotic damage. You no longer need to eat, sleep, breathe, or drink. You no longer age, and cannot magically be aged. Phylactery The road to lichdom requires that you create a phylactery, which is an item that will house your soul. With 10 days of effort and 10,000 gp worth of magical reagents and materials, you fashion a treasure to bind yourself to in the blood-ceremony. A phylactery is often a treasure that the Lich consider's his most valuable possession, and they often take the form of rune-covered gems, talismans, crowns, or some comparable item. Should you be reduced to 0 hit points and die, in seven days your body will be reformed at the location of yoru phylactery, unless it is caught in an antimagic field. If your phylactery is destroyed, your form becomes unstable and in danger of being permanentaly killed. For each week that you go without a phylactery, you must make a constitution saving throw, or else your body will be unable to sustain itself and crumple to dust. You can make a replacement phylactery in such a case with the same resources and time spent to make the original. Wielder of Blood Magic Throughout the process of becoming a lich, you inevitably learn dark magic and how to manipulate the power of souls into magical energy. You gain 10 Sanguimancy points that may be spent to cast spells wuthout expending a spell slot according to the following chart. Cast those spells at their natural level. You may spend 10 minutes preforming a ritual with a body that has been dead for no more than 2 days to replenish your current Sanguimancy points back to 10.
but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. 6 He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing here, more detestable things that the house of Israel is committing, so that I must depart from My sanctuary? You will see even more detestable things." 7 Then he brought me to the entrance to the court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall. 7 And he brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall. 7 Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. 7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 7 Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked there was a hole in the wall. 8 He said to me, "Son of man, now dig into the wall." So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there. 8 Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig in the wall.” So I dug in the wall, and behold, there was an entrance. 8 He said to me, "Son of man, now dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance. 8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 8 He said to me, "Son of man, dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and there was a doorway. 9 And he said to me, "Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here." 9 And he said to me, “Go in, and see the vile abominations that they are committing here.” 9 And He said to me, "Go in and see the wicked abominations that they are committing here." 9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 9 He said to me, "Go in and see the terrible and detestable things they are committing here." NIV ESV NASB KJV HCSB 10 So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls all kinds of crawling things and unclean animals and all the idols of Israel.

Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open. Albus Dumbledore There is no doubt that the novels of Harry Potter, by the author J. K. Rowling, have been among the greatest successes in the history of literature and cinema industry. From June 1997, when the first book was published, until June 2011, the series of books, translated in 67 languages, had sold about 450 million copies worldwide and is the best‐selling book series of all times (Wikipedia, 2014). Overall, the books have received numerous awards and their literary value has been acknowledged (e.g., Alton, 2009; Knapp, 2003). The stories of Harry Potter have inspired a number of products, ranging from video games and toys to clothing and theme parks. The novels of Harry Potter represent several literary genres, including not only fantasy, which is the most evident, but also romance, adventure, thriller, mystery, gothic, pulp fiction, detective fiction, all fused by Rowling in a single mosaic (Alton, 2009). The complexity and richness of the topics addressed in the novels (Mulholland, 2006) make them appealing to both children and adults (Heilman, 2009; Patrick & Patrick, 2006). As such, it not surprising that they have stimulated debates and controversies on moral, religious, and educational topics among scholars of various disciplines (Griesinger, 2002; Senland & Vozzola, 2007). It has been suggested that the novels have the potential to achieve a positive social impact. Knapp (2003) argues that the books can be of great appeal to children, who can thus be highly motivated to read them. This process can lead to educational benefits, such as improved reading ability, reading engagement, and literacy development. The appeal of a book is important, as pupils often fail to identify engaging books (Worthy, Moorman, & Turner, 1999). Fields (2007) notes that the novels address important social, cultural, and psychological issues, such as culture, society, social inequalities, love, the transition to maturity, prejudice (see also Heilman, 2009; Knapp, 2003; Whitney, Vozzola, & Hofmann, 2005). Beers and Apple (2006; see also Fields, 2007) point out that the novels highlight a social structure where intergroup conflict is a highly salient topic. Tangentially, the topics of the books delve into social issues such as opposing identities, prejudice, and conflict.
The entire global financial system at the central bank level is built upon attempting to force profits from a financial underclass that has a mathematically impossible task of repaying debt that continuously increases by definition. The fiat money systems of the world are quicksand by design precisely so on a macroeconomic scale the central banks can force market participants into loose monetary policy by increasing their inflation / monetary instability and making more and more investments look good by comparison. When the largest central bank in the entire world has committed to unlimited quantitative easing until the economy moves from its platform, the only sensible way to take this is as final capitulation. They will continue to inflate the money supply until they have people standing on other ground. They expect that the "other ground" will be stocks, sovereign bonds, other investments in the markets that they control but with the rise of bitcoin they may be in for a rude shock when their marks decide to entirely circumvent their game and move off fiat money and heavily controlled markets en masse. What we are seeing here may very well be the beginning of that. ... The tyrants fall, the utterly corrupt modern business model known as the nation state whereby the "customer" is effectively just some mark in a given geographic area and all participants in the tax farm system are a cartel of nation states acting in concert to extract the maximum possible from their cattle ceases to exist. The complete inability to control the economy of the world by force leads to the death of the very core concept of the modern nation state; Making your customer's patronage compulsory. In any argument with a strident statist, they will cede any ground, acknowledge any fact, go to any length at all to divert attention from the core fact that the state extorts its customers. If any other business behaved in the manner that all the states in the world do people would be up in arms and screaming bloody murder on a regular basis; States hold zero responsibility to their customers, the power the customer holds over a business is that if they do not see value in the product delivered they can choose to discontinue their dealings with that business. This is the last and final sanction of incompetence that the state, the final bastion of utter incompetence is completely dependent upon.
His book had been translated into Slovak and 'State' had invited him to come to visit for a Symposium, the weekend celebration and recognition of the Slovak National Uprising (SNP). In August 1944 the Russians had overrun Bulgaria and Rumania. The Slovak partisans had been successful in being able to organize a large force. With 10,000 troops and what they thought would be Russian support, the Uprising got under way. This really got German attention and immediate steps were taken to quell it. It turned out that the Russians were not in any way interested in supporting neither an action they could not control nor one that would be bourgeois. While all this was going on the OSS and the 15th AF had been successfully rescuing flyers out of Yugoslavia, and had made a plan to do the same in Slovakia. The OSS put together a group known as DAWES to insert into Slovakia to support the partisans. Two B-17's from the 15th flew these men into Banska Bystrica on September 17, 1944. With the engines still idling, 17 American and British evacuating airmen boarded and were flown back to Italy. Three of the men on the August 29 mission #263, Pilot Thayne Thomas, co-pilot Clarence Jackson and Tail Gunner Robert Donahue were among those flown to freedom that day. Thomas died in 1996 and Donahue in August 2003. We never did find Jackson after the war. That morning we had breakfast with Jim and Patsy Downs and were joined by Barbara Zigli of the Embassy in Bratislava. Barbara arranged to have Downs autograph copies of the translated book to send to Mojmir Baca and Jirik Fleischer in Brno. We met Lora Berg and Stephen Crosbie, also from the Embassy, who were helpful in keeping us up to date on the arrangements. Noles and I walked to the Banska Bystrica museum that we learned had been designed and built during the communist years. The outside had a dreadful, fortress-like appearance. On the inside however, we found it to be quite well organized. The exhibits included a great many mannequins in military dress of every kind almost all from the 20th century and with emphasis on WWII, e.g., flak vest, electric flight suit, lined flight boots, soft leather cap, etc. We had the good fortune to meet Jan Babincak, Historian and interpreter from Bratislava.
However, there are situations where the subject is involved in money laundering activity; but, due to varying circumstances, only a portion of the assets can be traced to specific money laundering transactions. It would be inefficient to pursue forfeiture under two separate statutes, a portion of the assets under 18 USC §981(a)(1)(A) (Financial Transaction) and a portion under 18 USC §981(a)(1)(C) (Constitutes or is Derived from Proceeds). With the concurrence of the AUSA assigned to the investigation, 18 USC §981(a)(1)(C) can be used for the entire forfeiture. This forfeiture authority would also apply to Specified Unlawful Activity (SUA) proceeds seized during a legitimate money laundering investigation where none of the proceeds can be traced to money laundering transactions. Criminal Investigation has authority to forfeit property derived from proceeds traceable to SUA pursuant to 18 USC §981(a)(1)(C). The ability to forfeit assets under 18 USC §981(a)(1)(C) is designed to support, not supplant the primary statutes (forfeitures relative to financial transactions; 18 USC §981(a)(1)(A)) within the statutory jurisdiction of CI, and should only be utilized in investigations to which CI has devoted resources toward investigating money laundering violations. Forfeiture actions in which 18 USC §981(a)(1)(C) will be utilized will be approved at the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) level; however, such actions will be subject to periodic review. The following guidelines set forth the circumstances governing the exercise of this authority and applicable procedures: Use of forfeiture authority under 18 USC §981(a)(1)(C) must be incidental to a legitimate money laundering investigation. This means the basis for any proposed forfeiture of property under §981 was developed in the course of an investigation of a particular subject(s) regarding potential money laundering violation(s) or the financial transaction(s) being investigated as a potential money laundering violation(s). Use of forfeiture authority under §981(a)(1)(C) will be limited to situations in money laundering investigations where no reasonable forfeiture alternative is available for the agency, i.e., proof required to forfeit under §981(a)(1)(A) (property involving in or traceable to a money laundering transaction) is lacking. These situations typically arise when the subject property cannot be traced to a specific financial transaction. The ability to forfeit SUA proceeds under 18 USC §981(a)(1)(C) will include administrative seizures (up to $500,000 in personal property and unlimited as to cash) and judicial seizure investigations with the involvement and concurrence of the AUSA assigned to the investigation.
To minimize the impact of pollution, the organizers will wash the entire 21-kilometer course with effluent water mixed with salt, according to a statement.The Supreme Court last month slapped a ban on selling fireworks ahead of Diwali in an attempt to reduce pollution levels.Jai Dhar Gupta, who sells the pollution-filtering Vogmask brand of facemasks in India, is dealing with a sudden deluge of orders. He said demand shot up 3,000 percent starting Sunday, as the pollution began to worsen. "Corporates and institutions like schools are placing bulk orders suddenly," he said. "The sad part is that people don't take the polluted air threat seriously until they 'see' it. "Mr Kejriwal has blamed farmers in Haryana and Punjab for burning crop residue, an annual tradition to clear fields that combines with vehicle and industrial emissions, as well as road and construction dust, for Delhi's pollution.A day earlier, a senior member of the BJP blamed the pollution partly on Mr Kejriwal's "failure to maintain" working relationships with nearby chief ministers - ML Khattar, who heads Haryana, is from the BJP.Anumita Roychowdhury, executive director of research at advocacy group Centre for Science and Environment, said this year has seen fewer polluted days than last year. She blamed westerly winds for bringing crop smoke, while easterly winds reduced temperature and trapped fumes.Last year, NASA satellite imagery showed thick plumes of smoke rising across north India and covering Delhi -- similar to when the agency tracked fires from Indonesia's Sumatra, which regularly drift over and pollute Singapore. "During winters, the pollution problem is always atmosphere driven," Roychowdhury said. "The important thing now is what can be immediately done."

KOLKATA: The raging political angst against the Centre’s demonetiosation policy hit Reserve Bank of India Governor Urjit Patel when Congress workers armed with black flags heckled the chief of the country’s monetary policymaking authority outside the Kolkata airport on Thursday.Patel was returning to Mumbai after attending RBI’s 562nd central board meet in Kolkata.It was not a business usual for Governor Patel. For the first time after taking over the reins at RBI, he faced a barrage of protests through the entire day cutting across party lines as the anti-BJP forces raised pitch against demonetisation , which has left the country currency starved.Drama unfolded in the morning itself, when the RBI chief had to take a backdoor entry to avoid media and a large political crowd waiting outside RBI buildings as he stepped in to meet the central board, which review the macro-economy.Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee , who has been spearheading a national movement against the government policy, had her members of the Legislative Assembly staging protests against Patel through the afternoon in front of the iconic RBI building in the city. Later in the day, Patel met Banerjee, where the Trinamool Congress chief raised her concerns over people’s sufferings and job losses triggered by the November 8 decision of the Narendra Modi government.“I have expressed my concerns over people's sufferings. The unorganised sector suffered the most. Poeple are losing their jobs and facing starvation. There is a severe shortage of Rs 500 currency notes. He had no answer to my points,” Banerjee told the media after her first meeting with any RBI governor since 2012.“The RBI is an autonomous body. It should not be used politically.”Banerjee had been vocal in criticising the RBI governor for failing to address the currency shortage issue. “I have told him to publish the currency supply data to each state so that we come know whether there is parity on currency note supply,” she said, pointing out that West Bengal has been one of the worst hit states in so far as currency supply goes.The Left Front was not far behind in protest against the RBI. It staged a protest rally outside the RBI office, when the governor was holding the meet. The RBI central board meets every quarter in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata and in other capital cities by rotation.“The RBI has lost its independence under the Narendra Modi regime.
“We are in the middle of a massive technological shift — the automation revolution will be as big as the agricultural revolution or the industrial revolution,” he wrote. “We need to figure out a new social contract, and to ensure that everyone benefits from the coming changes. … We need new candidates who understand the future.”

Step 6: Let's Make It Fun We have all the pieces in place for spatial goodness. Let's do something fun with it! By modifying the code in our "HotspotAudioCue" script, we will create a simple effect of an object with sound orbiting around the hotspot. This will hopefully act as a catalyst in sparking some creative ideas for your own projects. Paste in the completed code found here. Let's take a minute to look over the changes. Our goal is to fill in the values for the built-in "RotateAround" function found in the "Update" method. While we are using the "Update" method for simplicity's sake, I would usually prefer implementing this using a Coroutine. When "OnHotspotEnter" is called, we toggle its current active state and decide what to do. If it is now inactive, we simply stop our clip. If it is active, we take the randomly selected clip's length and divide 360 (degrees) by it. This will mean the orbiting object will make one full revolution per loop of the clip. We also want to randomize the rotation direction to make it interesting. Notice the y-axis value is set to 1. This will prevent our object from staying still if all three Vector3 values were to draw a 0. For every frame "isActive" is true, we throw our values into the "RotateAround" function and let it propel our Sphere hologram around our "objectToOrbit." Speaking of, the last thing we need to do is drag our Cube hotspot from the Hierarchy to the empty Object To Orbit slot in the Inspector. Save, play, and test the scene. The first time you drive over the hotspot our audio should start and the sphere should begin its revolution. Exit the hotspot and reenter. Our clip should stop and our sphere should freeze in place. Repeat a few times to ensure all is good. If so, build to your HoloLens and enjoy all that is spatial audio! The importance of well-implemented audio, whether for atmosphere, guidance, or emotion, cannot be overstated. Much of how our minds process the world around us involves our ears. As we explore deeper into mixed reality, harnessing this power will go a long way in creating compelling apps. We would love to see how you are using spatial audio in your projects. Please share, along with any questions, feedback, or development quirks you'd like to learn about, in the comments below. Cheers!
Permanetix Corporation is a new startup which was announced at the conference, President Nikita Alexandrov, in his mid twenties, is one of the youngest researchers involved in this field. Permanetix Corporation is developing tools and experiment techniques to better study the cold fusion effect. He explained how low cost tools and new scientific instruments can help solve the cold fusion problem in the same way that they revolutionized the human genome project. He presented a robust radiation sensor which can be placed in a gas loading experiment, detecting all the low energy radiation that does not pass through the reactor walls. They detected alpha radiation testing the device, meaning that they should also be able to use this as an internal tritium detector, since tritium also emits soft radiation. Nikita Alexandrov also spoke about the challenges of real time helium detection technology and how to design a low cost helium isotope analysis system. While they have prototypes of new tools, they also presented their long term research plan, involving the mass testing of precisely created materials for the cold fusion effect using advanced versions of their tools. Both companies developing reactors as well as researchers interested in the basic science could benefit from the discovery of new materials. But since Permanetix is not making reactors, it is a challenge to fund until cold fusion is a household word. Brian Ahern, who funded many research projects during his time at DARPA, spoke up after the presentation, “You are obviously leading, or ahead of the field so funding will be a challenge”. Permanetix technology could lower the barrier to entry for research companies starting in this field. If they prove themselves and can attract the large amount of funding required for a mass materials screening project, there is no doubt their approach could pay off tremendously.

The result was a fully automated method to volume image a block of neural tissue. They and others have continued to re ne this technique so that now it can now achieve 23nm section thickness and have successfully applied the technique to a reconstruction of the direction selective circuitry of the mammalian retina [Briggman et al., 2011]. …In 2008, Graham Knott et al. introduced the FIBSEM (Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy) technique for tracing neural circuits [Knott et al., 2008]. This technique is also known as Ion Abrasion Scanning Electron Microscopy [Heymann et al., 2009]. FIBSEM works similarly to SBFSEM, but instead of physically scraping a thin layer of material off the block face with a diamond knife, the material is instead ablated away using a focused beam of gallium ions. This change overcomes the lateral resolution limitations of the SBFSEM since the FIB ablation process is relatively insensitive to the material properties of the embedding plastic and therefor a much larger electron dose can be used during imaging. What’s more, ion beams can be tightly focused achieving spot sizes in the 10 nm range. Aligning the ion beam parallel to the block face so that it just grazes the surface allows reliable and rapid removal of extremely thin layers less than 10 nm in thickness. What actually limits the resolution of the FIBSEM (for optimally sized blocks) is the depth of penetration of the imaging electrons into the surface of the block [Muller-Reichert et al., 2010] and by using very low voltages (< 2 kV), along with sensitive low-energy backscatter electron detectors with energy filtering, recent reports [Knott and Cantoni, 2011] have demonstrated depth resolutions in the range of ~10nm with lateral imaging resolutions of 5x5 nm. This FIBSEM voxel resolution of 5x5x10nm is more than sufficient to reliably resolve the finest neuronal processes and synapses, and should be sufficient to allow for extremely reliable automated reconstruction algorithms [Lucchi et al., 2010]. Recently Knott has published a Journal of Visualized Experiments online video article covering the entire FIBSEM procedure from tissue processing to automated FIBSEM milling and imaging, demonstrating a final volume image of a piece of cortex imaged with 5x5x5 nm voxels [Knott et al., 2011]. It is stunning how clearly demarcated the neuronal processes and synapses are in the resulting FIBSEM volume video. …In summary, the FIBSEM technique represents a truly enabling technology for mapping neural circuits with 100% reliability.

Special thanks to Dr. Deborah (Hood) Henderson, Ms. Maryanne Kingma and Ms. Barbara Henderson for a l l the help when the "crunch" came. I would also l i k e to thank the "Friday Lunch-Group" for their h e l p f u l suggestions and excitement about their own work.

Considering numbers of individuals, spiders are the dominant predator group i n several a g r i c u l t u r a l ecosystems. Despite our growing knowledge about thei r ecology, r e l a t i v e l y l i t t l e applied interest i n them has been generated. In the late 1940's and 1950's, the most renowned arachnologists agreed that spiders offer no potential for the control of pest species (Gertsch 1949, Bristowe 1958). This idea was based mainly on i n t u i t i o n as few experiments were done to ve r i f y the hypothesis. The b e l i e f was, however, closely linked to a bias for using monophagous parasitoids and predators i n b i o l o g i c a l control programs. This bias p e r s i s t s .
Our time is a battle. This begins to be known. At stake is the bypassing of metaphysics, or more exactly the Verwindung of this, a bypassing that will in the first place remain close at hand. Empire designates the ensemble of forces that work to conjure this Verwindung to indefinitely prolong the suspension of the epoch. The wiliest strategy put in the service of this project, that which must be suspected everywhere there is a question of “post-modernity”, is to push for a so-called aesthetic surpassing of the metaphysical. Naturally, one who knows to what aporetic metaphysics this logic of surpassing would lead us, and who thus perceives in what deceitful manner aesthetics can serve from now on as refuge for the same metaphysics — the “modern” metaphysics of subjectivity — will guess without trouble exactly where Empire would like to arrive by this maneuver. But what is this menace, this Verwindung that Empire concentrates so many apparatuses to conjure? This Verwindung is nothing other than the ethical assumption of the metaphysical, and by that as well of the aesthetic, in so much as it is the ultimate form of aesthetics. The avant-garde appears precisely at this point as center of confusion. On one side, the avant-garde is led to produce the illusion of a possible aesthetical surpassing of the metaphysical, but on another side there is always, in the avant-garde, something that exceeds it and is of an ethical order; which, thus, tends to the configuration of a world, to the constitution of an ethos of a shared life. This element is the essential repressed of the avant-garde, in measuring all the distance that, in the first Surrealism for example, separated the Rue Fontaine from the Rue du Chateau . It is in this manner that since the death of Breton, those who have not renounced laying claim to Surrealism tend to define it as a “civilization” (Bounoure) or more soberly as a “style” in the manner of baroque, classicism, or romanticism. The word constellation is perhaps the most just. And in fact, it is incontestable that Surrealism did not stop subsisting, in so much as it was living, on the repression of its propensity to make itself the world, to give itself a positivity.
Nebraska has some of the finest young men and women of character in all of college sports, and I'm confident they will continue to work hard in the classroom, compete with class and make us all proud. Barney Cotton is a Husker through-and-through, and serves as our associate head coach. Barney and I spoke this morning, and he has agreed to serve as our interim head coach and will work with our other assistant coaching staff members to prepare our wonderful team for a bowl game. Coach Cotton is a man of integrity and a great teacher of the game of football, and I know he will do great things moving forward to put us in a positive situation before we get a new leader in place. I will work diligently in the coming days to find the absolute best fit for the University of Nebraska. But I will not comment on or speculate about the process or the people. We have the best fan base in all of college sports. A legion of generous supporters, abundant resources and first-class facilities. We compete in the premier athletic conference, the Big Ten. We have tremendous student-athletes and we have a world-class education to offer them. Therefore I am confident we will find a great coach to lead our storied program. Until then, our focus, my focus will be on the young men in our football program and providing them with a positive support and attention they deserve as they prepare for a bowl game. "On the buyout of Pelini's contract:"The approximate liquidated damages of Coach Pelini's contract is about $7.9 (million). Certainly there's mitigation in there should he find other employment. Our assistant coaches are about in the four (million dollar) range. They have another year on their deals. They have mitigation as well. I imagine they will either find employment here or elsewhere in short term. The funds will come from operational reserves in the department. We pay those liquated damages on a month-to-month basis. "On off the field issues that led to the decision:"It's not so much the decision. It's the consequence of the decision and our wonderful student-athletes and the impact on them and our great coaches and their families. Relative to what went into the decision I would say is totality of my review in the two years I have been here. There's a lot of things that I look at.
I left out the details on our MIMIR agent friend.“What you do once we reach a port to refresh is your own decision. Your lives are your own, until you sign on to stay with us. The MechWarriors and I will stay aboard with Saito and find a way to proceed. Any of you who wishes to stay will be remembered in later compensation.”I drank in the quiet again. The bay felt massive. I shifted to avoid a shiver against the cold stares.“Make no mistake. We are looking for justice. I won't suffer another instance of slavery under the guise of the Republic. I intend to hunt down those responsible.”That gained a few shouts of agreement. The bay warmed perceptibly.“And what if the Republic embraces it?”“Then we fight the Republic.”Someone was laughing. It stung, terribly.“You think I don't know how ridiculous that sounds? We've fought for three hundred years for independence. Now we look the other way when we take the very slaves we fought so long against? What do you think we should do then? Just run off to the periphery and hide? Run to the Kuritans? Tell me right now if that's your intention and I'll let you off this boat on this dustball and you can find your own way home.”There were a few short laughs, and the bay fell silent again. Amongst the towering 'Mechs I felt very small. Even within, I would feel dwarfed. One lance, one DropShip. There was no happy ending to that story.I looked to Njavskard and Kavellrist. Both looked troubled by the response so far. I stepped into the center of the 'Mechbay.“We have said within this hangar many a time that we do this for the dead.”Every voice in the bay joined with mine. “They ask for no more.”I nodded. A hunger I could remember from the battlefield sprung up suddenly, and I devoured their response greedily.“Today, I tell you that you are now the dead. That you may ask for what you wish. For myself, I have one want. I wish to hunt, and I will hunt with whoever would stand beside me.”The bay was quiet again. The bay was warm.“This hunt is not only my own. This hunt is one of vengeance, for all the Republic. This hunt is for the honor of all the Republic. How many lives have they turned to c-bills, and for what? We are Drakøns.
NEW DELHI/PATNA: Bollywood actor Salman Khan , who was recently seen flying kites with Narendra Modi , has said the Gujarat CM should not apologize for the 2002 riots as he had been given a clean chit by the court. "Why would Modi say sorry if he is not responsible for it? And if he is responsible for it, why (did) the judiciary gave him a clean chit, why nothing happened? (sic)" the actor said in an interview to Headlines Today.However, Salman said he was not in a position yet to endorse anyone for the Prime Minister's post. "Don't want to take any name regarding the best candidate for the PM post as I do not want my judgment to influence millions of fans across India," he said.The actor said he had gone to Gujarat to promote his latest film, not to endorse Modi. But he added that "Modi is very cultured. I had an amazing interaction with him. I am impressed by the development in Gujarat and the way women in my team were treated. Modi treated my sister in a very respectful manner".Reacting to Salman's comments, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Monday described the Gujarat riots as "unforgivable and unforgettable".He indicated that JD(U) would highlight the riots just like Congress did in the 2004 and 2009 general elections. Nitish, a former railway minister, made fun of Modi's declaration that he would introduce a bullet train after becoming the PM. "This idea was mooted when Indira Gandhi was the PM and there was a plan to develop high-speed corridor. Later, we found it unviable because it needed huge funds and vast chunks of land," he said. "It is easier said than done and some people have a habit of making such tall promises. The basic question is whether a BJP-led government would be formed at the Centre," Nitish said. About an alliance with Ramvilas Paswan's LJP, he said, "I respect Paswan. It is up to him to decide what sort of alliance he wants." He also rubbished speculation of an alliance with Congress.
However, this shift from major to minor at the end suggests that this order may be a front for something more insidious. The song doesn't end precisely where it began, but in a slightly darker place. The song’s arche leads it toward negation. This negation is most evident in the song’s lyrics, especially the refrain “no future,” which is echoed in the title of Edelman’s book, No Future. This Pistols song is a parody of the British national anthem, also titled “God Save the Queen.” With lines such as “long live our noble Queen,” and “long to reign over us” the national anthem uses the image of the monarch’s future (her long life and reign) as a means to consolidate British national identity — the “we’ or “us” in the song. “We” are the ones whose future is realized with the Queen’s continued reign. In this context, “no future: is a powerfully resonant challenge not just to the Queen, but, more importantly, to the ‘we.’” The Pistols’ “we” are those who lack the future promised by the Queen’s reign, the people written out of post-industrial, neoliberalizing Britain — bare life, the precariat. But as neoliberalism renders everyone increasingly precarious, what happens to the ongoing stability (the future) of the State and the national “we.” That is what the last part of the song discusses: its not just “us” who have no future, but “you” and, indeed, that national imaginary itself. Wherears the national anthem creates solidarity through an imagined future, the Pistols’ song creates solidarity though the negation of that imagined future. “No future” negates the things that cohere through narrative of futurity, progress, and teleological development, like both songs’ (the Pistols’ and the national anthem) harmonic structure. How does one negate the arche of traditional Western rock and pop music? And what would be queer about that sound? Edelman suggest what queer negation might sound like, musically. Working from Hitchcock’s The Birds, he argues that queer death sounds like meaningless repetition, “random signals,” white noise, or “electronic buzzing” — more like The Normal or Cabaret Voltaire than The Sex Pistols, really. For Edelman, queer death is the negation of teleological rationalist, the an in an-arche. This sounds like noise — anarchic, disordered sound, sound that does not trace a coherent narrative from one moment to the next.
After sunset on a cool Friday evening in November 2005, two high school football teams played a game in Water Valley, Mississippi. Unless you were a player, coach or spectator you know nothing of what transpired after the lights came on. Even if you were, it may hold no special place in your memory. Not very long ago, a former newspaper reporter who was there told me, "Doesn't stick out." An assistant coach who stood on a sideline said, "The details are vague." A player who cried after time expired admits to hardly any recollection. No legends were born that night, no destinies revealed. A lot of the boys played both ways. A lot of jerseys did not fit right. No legends were born that night, no destinies revealed. A lot of the boys played both ways. A lot of jerseys did not fit right. Fathers hollered from the stands and mothers, when not fretting, snapped pictures. Four touchdowns were scored, two for each team, and the last play involved a quarterback taking a knee. A slow stream of fans headed home before the final horn blew. It was a first round playoff game — the losing team's season ended that night. The winning team moved to the second round, but lost, and its season ended then as well. They were only two evenly matched teams of mediocre talent that found success that year zeroing in on what each did well; that, and more or less methodically breaking the will of their opponents. The boys who played in the game are young men now. Some are married, some are fathers. They have gone off in different directions. But find players from both sides today and what they agree on is this: On Nov. 11, 2005, in a game that meant very little, they hit, and were hit, harder than any other time in their lives. On that night in north Mississippi, no will broke. That is what they remember, and that is what I cannot forget. I was there, watching. Nine years is enough time for shadows to grow and if I think about that game long enough, the shadow it casts in my memory reaches a sensitive place, and I cannot leave it alone. That game got inside of me. I wrote a game story about it for a little Mississippi newspaper, and I have talked about it at length at least twice.
I nudge the bartender. He doesn't move. I sigh and drop my head to the counter next to his. Maybe I'll die now. "Hey, you mind sharing?" I raise my eyes. A broad-shouldered zombie dude has the stool next to me, eyes on the dead bartender. "Go for it," I mumble, barely able to get the grunts out. "Thanks." The zombie pulls out an arm and chews on it. It's supposed to gross me out – but damn if it doesn't look tasty. "You all done with him?" he asks. "I don't eat humans." "Well, no wonder you look like shit," the zombie says, chewing. He offers me a piece. "Go on, you need it." I look at the smelly, dried-blood-covered forearm he extends my way. "No, thanks." "What? You're one of those people?" "Those people who don't want to be cannibals?" He chuckles and shakes his head. "Dude. The world's gone. There's no cannibals. There's just food or dying. Have a piece." He puts the piece of rotten flesh in front of my eyes again. I struggle to get my head up. I look down at it. "You'll feel better," he says. I would. I really would. I'd stop forgetting my name every five minutes and blacking out. I'd be able to stand on my two feet for more than five minutes at a time. The fog and headache would be gone in an instant, one bite. "He's already dead, anyway. What's the harm?" the zombie says, biting onto a finger and sucking the skin out of it. I take the forearm and study it, rolling it around my hands. I smell it. It smells like shit and amazing at the same time. I think of Levon. I wonder if he's alive. Probably not. Probably dead somewhere between Philadelphia and New York, chasing his dream of a safe port that doesn't exist. Chasing ghosts. I bring the forearm close to my mouth. "There you go," the zombie says. "No one cares, go ahead." No one cares. No one cares. No one cares. Damian's dead and Levon's dead and no one cares. And I need to eat. Fuck it.
Not long before this conversation, St. Aubyn had stopped breathing in the back of an ambulance between his London apartment and Charing Cross Hospital, after an overdose. Feeling that he “had to confess,” St. Aubyn said, “Well, there is a problem—I am a heroin addict.” The professor was concerned. “He said, ‘Do you have a television?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘Oh, do get one, they’re very relaxing.’ ” St. Aubyn laughed. “The Oxford University recovery program. I bought a television and took it back to my Oxford flat, and watched a lot of daytime television.” The university awarded him the lowest possible class of degree: a pass. Edward, at the age of three. Courtesy Jane Longman On our walk through Oxford, we passed Keble, his college, and he mentioned that, in 1982, during the vacation before final exams, he had attempted replacing heroin with whiskey and Valium. Waiting in a pharmacy to fill his Valium prescription, he met Nicola Shulman, the daughter of well-known journalists. Shulman became his partner until the end of the decade. She was having a sunnier experience at Oxford. The election of a Conservative government, in 1979, and the success of such period dramas as “Brideshead Revisited” had made it newly fashionable for students to participate in moneyed, black-tie frolics. (Hollinghurst’s “The Line of Beauty” captures the moment.) Shulman’s extended circle, which St. Aubyn joined, included Hugh Grant and Nigella Lawson, whose father was one of Margaret Thatcher’s ministers. The previous summer, Lawson had been photographed dangling a croquet mallet out of a sedan chair carried, on poles, by four young men. St. Aubyn could play the part. He was not quite an aristocrat; an English peer, when recently asked to identify St. Aubyn’s place in the country’s upper classes, paused for a long time and then said, “Well, he’s upper-middle-class, isn’t he?” But St. Aubyn said “huff” for “have,” and “orf” for “off.” Oliver James is sure that St. Aubyn has never worn a pair of jeans: “He always dressed like, and had the manners of, a toff.” And St. Aubyn was attractive, thanks, in part, to his mixture of vulnerability and predatoriness.
Conant spends most of his book describing the number words and number systems used by dozens of cultures and almost all of them are based on ten, and a few on five or twenty. (“Any number system which passes the limit 10 is reasonably sure to have either a quinary, a decimal, or a vigesimal structure.”) But he does not mention Telugu!
Secondary antibody was 1.5% horse anti-mouse IgG (Vector) in blocking serum. The chromagen was diaminobenzidine. Negative controls were the BLV-negative control cell line Tb1Lu and adjacent human tissue sections reacted with fresh hybridoma medium (diluted 1:10 in blocking buffer) substituted for primary antibody. The positive control was FLK, which is known to replicate BLV. Outcome measurement was a semiquantitative judgment of color density, as described for IS-PCR.
By 1 April, the British and French armies were ready to begin operations, against outpost villages still occupied by the Germans west of the Hindenburg Line. The French Third Army prepared to attack at St Quentin on 10 April, for which the preliminary bombardment began on 4 April. The British Fourth Army prepared to support the attack with artillery and such infantry attacks as could be attempted, while communications were still being repaired. Information from captured documents and prisoners had disclosed the details of Operation Alberich and that outpost villages had to be held for longer than planned, to enable work to continue on the Hindenburg Line (Siegfriedstellung), where it was being rebuilt south of Quéant. Despite increased German resistance Neuville Bourjonval, Ruyaulcourt, Sorel le Grand, Heudicourt, Fins, Dessart Wood, Ste. Emilie, Vermand sur Omignon, Vendelles, Jeancourt, Herbecourt, Épehy, Pezières were captured between 28 March and 1 April. Deliberate attacks were mounted in early April to take Holnon Wood, Savy (where the German garrison had to be overwhelmed by house-to-house fighting), Holnon, Sélency (including six German field guns) and Francilly Sélency. A German counter-attack on 3 April by a storm troop, to recover a German artillery battery from Holnon Wood, coincided with a British attempt to do the same and failed. The French Third Army captured the Epine de Dallon on 3 April, bringing it up to the Hindenburg Line and on 4 April the British captured Metz en Couture in a snowstorm. Ronssoy, Basse Boulogne and Lempire were captured after house-to-house fighting but an attack on le Verguier failed. The villages still held by the Germans were found to be in a much better state of defence, with much more barbed wire around them. An attack on Fresnoy Le Petit late on 5 April, was hampered by uncut wire and a second attack the next night was stopped halfway through the village, the defenders holding out until 7 April; an attack on Vadencourt also failed. On 9 April the Fourth Army began a bombardment of the Hindenburg Line, with such heavy artillery that it had in range, as the Third and First armies began the offensive at Arras to the north. Fighting on the Fourth Army front, for the remaining outpost villages, went on until the end of April.
The urgency of the Turkey-Brazil initiative came through in the words of Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who could hardly have been more explicit: “We can't allow to happen in Iran what happened in Iraq. Before any sanctions, we must undertake all possible efforts to try and build peace in the Middle East." A Green Light Netanyahu listens only to Washington, when he listens at all. Following the bloody attack on the Freedom Flotilla, I imagine he will now get at most a mealy-mouthed “please-don’t-do-this-again” from the White House, together with an Al-Haig made-up excuse about an “exchange” of fire. If that proves to be the case, Netanyahu is altogether likely to consider that Israel has a green light to provoke hostilities with Iran, with the full expectation that the United States will jump right in to help the non-ally ally finish the job. Non-ally ally? Sorry, despite what you hear from Obama, Congress and the whole Washington Establishment, Israel is not an ally of the United States. Webster’s (and international law) define ally as “a state associated with another by treaty.” There is no mutual defense treaty between the U.S. and Israel. (Washington has broached the idea to Israel from time to time, but Israel has said no thanks. Treaties, you see, require internationally recognized borders, and Israeli leaders avoid that subject like the plague.) NATO member Turkey, on the other hand, is a U.S. ally. This could make things very awkward if Turkey sends its warships to accompany the next convoy trying to lift the siege of Gaza. It is possible that Washington may have to choose between a real ally and a synthetic one, if shots are fired.

Given the agency's disdain for the FOIA process (second only to the NYPD ), I'm sure this sort of outage is viewed as a feature, not a bug. But whatever internal musings the CIA had about its FOIA portal issues will apparently be staying internal for the time being. The CIA rejected Morisy's request in full , basically stating that searching for emails is hard work and that the requester could have at least bothered to know exactly who was talking about the portal issues and exactly when they were doing it before making the request.Obviously, a FOIA requester isn't going to know these sorts of specifics beforehand, hence THE REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. As MuckRock's JPat Brown points out, Twitter user Mythosopher had perhaps the best response to this refusal ...... along with this graphic The CIA has pretty much ensured many requests will be found too cumbersome to comply with. It used 2013's brief sequester as an excuse to shut down its office in charge of declassifying historical documents and fold it in with the FOIA department's steady stream of extension requests and denials. And the CIA joins an ever-lengthening list of federal agencies completely mystified by internal email systems. Oddly, this same government expects the US public to trust that agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA and countless law enforcement entities will be able to find the needles in your personal email haystacks -- obtained in bulk with FISA court orders, NSLs or old-fashioned open-ended, non-specific warrants.The CIA itself has already raided internal networks to root out Senate staffers and whistleblowers, but no one heard anyone complain about the lack of specifics making the job too tough to do. It's only when the public asks to dip into the government's business that these agencies suddenly start acting like the impossible is being demanded.
We should, however, be aware that Cohen’s interpretation is not universally accepted. Cohen provided his reconstruction of Marx partly because he was frustrated with existing Hegelian-inspired ‘dialectical’ interpretations of Marx, and what he considered to be the vagueness of the influential works of Louis Althusser, neither of which, he felt, provided a rigorous account of Marx’s views. However, some scholars believe that the interpretation that we shall focus on is faulty precisely for its lack of attention to the dialectic. One aspect of this criticism is that Cohen’s understanding has a surprisingly small role for the concept of class struggle, which is often felt to be central to Marx’s theory of history. Cohen’s explanation for this is that the 1859 Preface, on which his interpretation is based, does not give a prominent role to class struggle, and indeed it is not explicitly mentioned. Yet this reasoning is problematic for it is possible that Marx did not want to write in a manner that would engage the concerns of the police censor, and, indeed, a reader aware of the context may be able to detect an implicit reference to class struggle through the inclusion of such phrases as “then begins an era of social revolution,” and “the ideological forms in which men become conscious of this conflict and fight it out”. Hence it does not follow that Marx himself thought that the concept of class struggle was relatively unimportant. Furthermore, when A Critique of Political Economy was replaced by Capital, Marx made no attempt to keep the 1859 Preface in print, and its content is reproduced just as a very much abridged footnote in Capital. Nevertheless we shall concentrate here on Cohen’s interpretation as no other account has been set out with comparable rigour, precision and detail.
We need to trust in modern revelation and not steady the ark.To balance this out, we need to understand that in Mormonism we arethe ability to receive personal revelation with regards to the mysteries of God (even beyond the words revealed by prophets). This is a huge part of my faith & testimony in the restored gospel. I won't be part of a faith that does not allow one to form their own opinions by faith and study. But that does not mean we have a free-for-all bazaar of confusion and contention. The Lord has called for a "house of order" ( D&C 132:8 ). Remember, an environment of confusion and contention is exactly against which the restoration emerged This is explained in Alma 12:9-11 when the prophet Alma was contending with Zeezrom:Godus to learn the mysteries of the kingdom and form our own opinions, but God is not an anarchist. He, an eternal Being who has seen countless worlds come and go, sees the need for order. So we should go learn all we can " by study and also by faith ". But when we feel the need to command or impel others because of something we feel strongly about beyond the revealed word, then we are breaking the "strict command" by which we received that knowledge in the first place and step into the realm of unrighteous dominion and apostasy.A key here in navigating this dynamic in the household of faith is that if someone comes to you insisting church members hold an opinion that can't firmly be grounded in the words revealed by prophets who have the "keys of the mysteries" for the church then you can know either 1) they are breaking that "strict command" from Alma 12:9 and/or 2) they are seeking to "command him who is at [the] head" -- independent of the veracity of their statement. It's a balance. Freedom on one hand, responsibility on the other.The language in one of letters sent to the NY Times from the activists which they received from the LDS church seems to align with this doctrinal/policy approach:This is a exhortation to adhere to this pattern of revelation. The chastisement isn't for having an opinion.
Recently, theAlzheimer’s Family Care Centers, a San Diego nonprofit that operates three such facilities, has begun to create a very different sort of daytime space for its patients: a faux town of 24 buildings, arranged around a central green and designed to evoke the era when most of today’s dementia patients were young adults. The hope is that visual reminders of their youth will spark memories and conversation.”Email us at [email protected] with your tips, comments or questions Fox News : “Sen.and other GOP senators fired a warning shot this weekend over President-elect’s consideration of ExxonMobil Chairmanfor secretary of state, raising concerns about the global energy titan’s reported Russian ties. Tillerson is thought to be a favorite for the position of top U.S. diplomat and met again with the president-elect in New York on Saturday…Tillerson is reported to have close ties to Russia. Democrats already have seized on the accounts, with the Democratic National Committee preemptively declaring such a choice ‘another victory for.’ Republicans have taken a more measured – but still cautious – approach.” WaPo : “[Rex] Tillerson, 64, joined ExxonMobil in 1975, after receiving a civil engineering degree from the University of Texas. He worked his way up through the ranks, beginning as a production engineer and becoming chairman and chief executive in 2006. Over his decades at the company, Tillerson’s work took him all over the world, including to Yemen and Russia. That, along with his experience as CEO, apparently provides the basis of his familiarity with international diplomacy.”
Somewhere, I got his facade to break and he admitted that they were studying a "subject" that I was "leaking secrets about" (I can only assume they mean the creature). I told him it was dead, but I don't think he was very convinced. Nonetheless, we reached a compromise of some sort: I get to keep my website, but it is now going to be under MCO monitoring. I managed to persuade him that there was this community being built by the site that was impossible to remove.Whatever research they're doing now, I don't know. I just thought you would all need to understand that we are now being monitored by this Maelstrom Containment Operation...

At first sight it would not appear that this incident was linked to the rising of 1381, which had started in Essex in late May and spilled into Norfolk by 14 June. But there are a number of internal and external factors that tie this incident to the growing resistance to Richard Holdych which flared up during the rising in Norfolk. While various, at times protracted, special commissions were investigating the rebellion, victims of the rising also sought redress through private litigation. In particular, actions for trespass connected to the rising were brought to the Court of Common Pleas and the plea side of the King’s Bench.26 Andrew Prescott has shown that the action of trespass was the main legal tool in such cases, and he discusses a number of these instances specifically from Norfolk.27 The main feature that helps to distinguish regular cases of trespass from those related to the revolt is the identity of the plaintiff. In this case, Richard Holdych was a known target of the 1381 rising in Norfolk, which had the largest recorded number of identified insurgents during the revolt.28 Holdych had served as sheriff for Norfolk and Suffolk in 1367–1368 and as MP for Norfolk in 1369; he had also been a commissioner of tax assessments and had investigated tax evasions in 1379.29 On 16 June 1381, the same rebel band which had just burned the court rolls at John of Gaunt’s manor of Methwold (and did the same in Langford and West Dereham to Gaunt’s steward for the manor of Castle Acre, John de Methwold) moved to attack Binham Priory before making a concerted assault against Holdych’s properties.30 The rebels demolished his houses at Tottington, killing the manor’s lessee and another person, then moved on to ransack and destroy Holdych’s main residence, at Didlington, stealing 300 sheep; after that they extended their attack to his estate at Foulden.31 The suit of Easter and Michaelmas 1381 against William Longewille concerns Holdych’s free warren at his residence at Didlington, his main estate and the primary focus of the violent assault in June.
Some authors claim that Jesus was not negatively tuned to pederasty. Sister Barbara Bow thinks "there is good reason to believe that what Paul objects to in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (and in 1 Timothy 1:9-10, written by a follower of Paul) are certain elements of pederasty" in the age-stratified sense. A few early Christians began to object to using boys sexually. Nevertheless, at least from the 15th century onward, it can be argued that "homosexual activity occurred mainly, though not exclusively, between adult men and boys or adolescents" (Saslet, 1989:p91). John Chrysostom complained about fathers taking their boys to banquets where they were performed fellatio on men "under the blankets", recommending that boys be placed in the care of monks at the age of ten to avoid seduction. This while monks would have "a reputation for pederasty as early as the twelfth century". Most medieval authors would give the pro-pederast advice of antiquity, with medical books recommending sex with boys as "less harmful [than] sexual union with women [which] leads more quickly to old age [...]". The reason men in medieval times waited until their thirties to get married was because they routinely used young boys for sex until then; in Florence, for instance, only a quarter of the men in the fifteenth century were married by the age of 32. Since over a third of most households had servants or apprentices, sexual relations between masters and male servants were even more common and even acceptable than between masters and female servants. According to DeMause, "[t]utors and teachers in schools were expected to use their students sexually", and those who protested that it was a "vice so inveterate [and] so strong a custom" that it was "hardly likely to be discouraged", were thought odd. In Spain, "[e]ine große Mehrheit der Sodomiten (Valençias) wurde dort von Männern reiferen Alters (meist verheiratet) gebildet, deren hauptsächliches Objekt der Begierde Jugendliche im Alter von 14 bis 16 Jahren waren" .
The New York courts also provided us upon request with the data necessary to create a randomized sample of 500 debt buyer lawsuits drawn from cases filed in courts across the state in 2014. This was a true random sample drawn from a list of every case filed across all New York courts in 2014 by the eight most prolific debt buyer plaintiffs that year. We used that sample to draw out information about the prevalence of default judgments and the frequency with which defendants secure legal representation. The justice courts in Maricopa County, Arizona provided similarly detailed information about the number of cases filed by particular debt buyers and the results of those cases. In several Michigan and Arizona courts, court officials told Human Rights Watch that they could not or would not produce similar information from their own records. Detroit’s 36th district court failed to respond in any way to repeated requests for basic information about the court’s civil docket, even when some requests were delivered in person to court administrators and framed in ways that court personnel informally told Human Rights Watch would be easy to fulfill.
According to my ex, I was simply “not there” at our wedding reception. The podcast hosts exploded in laughter as he stated I was probably with his friend I later “ran off” with or grinding on the dance floor with other men. The truth is, our wedding night was a nightmare I had blocked from my mind until I saw a particularly poignant scene in the last season of Transparent. In the scene, Sarah is having a panic attack in the bathroom at her own wedding reception. Watching this, I was quickly transported back to the bathroom of my own perfect, expensive, hipster barn reception where my best friend was shoveling pills into my mouth to remedy the worst migraine I had ever experienced. It was crippling. I explained to my new husband what was happening and, as the drinks kept coming, he appeared less concerned with my health and more angry that I wasn’t being his perfect bride. Post reception, we went to the after party where I was promptly ushered into the bathroom by concerned friends. I threw up for a half hour while someone waited for me outside the door, making sure I was okay. The same friend then found my husband, placed our hands together, and said, “She’s your wife now, and you have to take care of her.” I wish I had clung to my friend for dear life that night. My husband’s idea of “taking care of me” was to grab my arm, drag me up to our room, throw me inside and growl, “You have forever ruined this night. I will never forget it.” He then promptly returned to the after party, leaving me crying, alone, and in searing pain until I managed to fall asleep. The next morning, he acted as though nothing happened and everything was fine. This all flooded back to me in stark contrast to his hilarious quips on the podcast about his overly flirtatious wife being with everyone else except him at our wedding.
Mangaluru: NMAM Institute Of Technology , under Nitte University and NIT-K, Surathkal have been chosen as India’s first startup district with incubators by Ministry of Commerce and Industry.Nirmala Seetharaman, minister of state for commerce and industry, who took initiative of making Dakshina Kannada as the start-up district with incubators has finalised two oldest technical institutes in the region.Connectivity (air, road, sea and rail), presence of several education institutions, state-of-art facilities, student resources and infrastructure were key factors to get these institutions selected for the centre.Confirming this to TOI, Vishal N Hegde, pro-chancellor (administration) of Nitte University said that recently representatives from both the institution had met Nirmala Seetharaman at Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai. Amitabh Kant, Chief Executive Officer, NITI Aayog too was present at meet. “Under Make in India and Start-up India initiative they have chosen two educational institutions. We will develop an innovation centre at Nitte that is similar to IIT, Chennai and put use for young entrepreneur minds,” said Vishal.He added that innovation centre with incubators will be launched in Nitte Campus in Karkala in two months. The work for the facility is in near completion. New incubation facility will provide students the necessary platform for realizing their ideas like a workspace, comprehensive inventory and ample guidance. ``The government wants to encourage startups to provide innovative solutions for challenges unique to India, especially in education, health, manufacturing, agriculture and infrastructure, and not just be skewed towards developing apps,’’ he added.Apart from it there will be tinkering labs for schools aimed at encouraging the creation of innovative solutions in agriculture, health and education.Vishal further added that one of the main factors that Dakshina Kannada was selected for startup district is that it had given many successful entrepreneurs to country and abroad. “From yesteryears Mangalureans are known for their entrepreneurial skills and it evident in banking, hotel and other industries,” he pointed out.In addition, NMAMIT already has been successfully running New Age Incubation Centre. Karnataka Biotechnology & Information Technology Services (KBITS), an autonomous organization established under the department of information technology & biotechnology, Karnataka government, had selected NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte as one of the nine engineering colleges for 'Karnataka New Age Incubation Network'.

It has been documented that biological warfare was first practiced on Native Americans with the use of Smallpox and Tuberculosis in the 1800 and 1900s etc .biological experiments were also conducted on African Americans in the 60s with syphilis written about in the book Bad blood and a higher form of killing. Do you think that homosexual men In New York were used as part of this experiment to find out how this virus worked on a relatively smaller level, in order to then use the information to infect the blacks in Africa on a much wider level etc. Or was it basically used on both at the same time more or less for the same reasons? * I don't know exactly what was on the mind of those who infected gays and blacks with HIV (and the "new" KS virus as well). The epidemic could definitely serve as a population control measure. The fact that the man-made theory of AIDS is totally ignored suggests a covert genocide program against certain "undesirables" and third world people. HIV is a cancer-causing virus, although this is obviously downplayed in an attempt to separate AIDS from cancer (and its origin from animal cancer research). HIV is an effective bioweapon in that it wipes out large numbers of people due to sexual activity and/or blood transfusion. It also has spawned a big, big, drug business based to the tune of $2000-3000 a month for "effective" (but not curative) treatment against HIV. 8. What about feline leukemia and "cat AIDS" The experiments conducted at Harvard by Myron (Max) Essex on retro viral infections? Did these experiments have anything to do with it? * Scientists knew in the few years before AIDS that retroviruses could cause immunosuppression and that the feline leukemia virus was transferable/transmissible between cats (felines) experimentally confined to confined quarters. After the epidemic began, Essex became the leading light (after Robert Gallo) in AIDS research. I wrote about his experiments and the contamination of his laboratory with primate viruses in my two books on the man-made origin of AIDS (AIDS AND THE DOCTORS OF DEATH, and in QUEER BLOOD: THE SECRET AIDS GENOCIDE PLOT. 9.

CDASL April 30, 2018. I’ve included an older version of the list available as a direct download below so that you can get a better sense of what the Canadian Dividend All-Star List is. Hopefully, this sample gives you a better idea of just how much useful information there is in the Canadian Dividend All-Star List and you decide to subscribe above for the most recent version. SAMPLE: Old version of the Canadian Dividend All-Star List – March 31, 2018 IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: Sometimes there is confusion with readers thinking that this list contains my stock recommendations. This is not true. I created the list as an information source for dividend investors. The criteria to be on the list is based on the number of years the dividend has increased, it is not based on whether I think the stock is a good investment. Think of this list as a good starting point if you are looking for potential Canadian dividend growth candidates, not my personal stock recommendations. I’ve also included a Google Docs list of all the companies in the list with their streak length, but the excel spreadsheets provided by subscribing above have a lot more information like the dividend yield, average highest yield for 3, 5 and 10 years, the past 10 years worth of dividends, and lots of other stock information. How and why the Canadian Dividend All-Star List was created Prior to starting this blog I did some research on how to make a blog and what I took away as the most important piece in creating a successful blog was to provide valuable content to your readers. Now you may be thinking, well obviously! And while this may seem obvious, it can be hard to put into practice on a regular basis. One way I plan to provide valuable content to my readers is by creating the Canadian Dividend All-Star List and updating it monthly. I read a lot of different finance blogs on a regular basis, and it took me awhile to figure out how I was going to differentiate myself. After a month or so, I came up with the idea to provide the Canadian Dividend All-Star List. When I screen US dividend paying companies I use David Fish’s US Dividend Champions excel file.
The Survivor Andy Lack, the chairman of NBC News, is seen by many of his peers as an old-school newsman in the mold of the late Roone Arledge, the famed ABC News president. Arledge played a major role in establishing ABC News as one of the leading evening newscasts in the 1980s and 90s. He did so in part by hiring big names and high-profile talent—for instance, wooing Diane Sawyer away from CBS News, even though ABC already employed the very visible Barbara Walters. Lack is currently on his second tour at NBC. He joined NBC News in 1993, rose to the top of the news division, then left in 2003 to head up Sony Music. He returned in 2015 in the wake of the scandal involving news anchor Brian Williams, who was revealed to have embellished, among other stories, his experience during an incident in Iraq in 2003. Recently, Lack pulled an Arledge: wooing away Megyn Kelly from Fox News. The move generated a flurry of headlines not only for its audacity but also because it was initially unclear just what Kelly would be doing at NBC. More than anything, the idea seemed to represent an act of faith in what high-profile talent, rather than mission or content, can accomplish: star power as business model. Until her hiring by NBC, Kelly was the wildly successful host of Fox News’s The Kelly File, a political and current-events show on weeknights that was one of the highest-rated cable-news programs in the country. NBC is paying Kelly more than $15 million, far less than the $25 million a year she was offered to stay at Fox. NBC went to her with a blank slate, according to a person close to Kelly. “Everyone else came to her with an idea of what they wanted.” VIDEO: Megyn Kelly Asks 12 of Her Toughest Questions Now she is in place. But she is not there all by herself: another pricey star has been at NBC for a very long time. Matt Lauer is one of the highest-paid men in television news—he reportedly will receive up to $25 million a year through at least 2018 under the terms of his latest contract. Many rivals, superiors, counterparts, and colleagues have fallen by the wayside during his 20 years atop Today, which attracts just over 4 million viewers every morning (down from 5.5 million in 2008).
He’s a little late to the party. Stoicism as a school of philosophy rose to prominence in the 3rd century B.C. in Greece, then migrated to the Roman Empire, and hung around there through the reign of emperor Marcus Aurelius, who died in 180 A.D. “That Stoicism has seen better days is obvious,” Irvine, a professor of philosophy at Wright State University, writes in his book A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy. He stumbled across the philosophy when researching a book on Zen Buddhism—“I thought I wanted to be a Zen Buddhist,” he says, “but Stoicism just had a much more rational approach.” Though the word “stoic” in modern parlance is associated with a lack of feeling, in his book, Irvine argues that the philosophy offers a recipe for happiness, in part by thinking about bad things that might happen to you. The big one, obviously, is death—both yours and that of people you love. “We can do it on a daily basis, simply by imagining how things can be worse than they are,” he says. “Then when they aren’t that way, isn’t that just wonderful? Isn’t it simply wonderful that I get another day to get this right?” For Irvine and the Stoics, thoughts of death inspire gratitude. For many others, thinking about The End inspires fear or anxiety. In fact, the latter may be the natural human condition. * * * “We are different from other animals in that we are uniquely aware of our own mortality,” says Ken Vail, an assistant professor of psychology at Cleveland State University. “Certainly other animals recognize they can die—if a cheetah chases an impala, or chases us, both us and the impala are going to run away. We recognize that as an immediate threat of mortality. But the impala doesn’t sit in the safety of its office aware of the fact that it will eventually die. And we do.”
I don’t know how I will return this money,” he had told TOI.Though he gets some money as pension from the Punjab government, where he served as a coach, and his pension from the Army, it was not enough to take care of his needs.In 1982, the then Punjab government had announced a cash award of Rs 1lakh for him for the gold medal he won at the Asiad.However, he did not get the promised money. Governments changed and Singh’s voice slowly got lost in the bureaucratic corridors. “I was promised Rs 1 lakh which might be equal to Rs 20 lakh in contemporary times,” he said.Kaur is suffering from a serious cardiac problem and spends Rs 8,000 per month on medicines. “This is just the expense of my monthly medicines. The fees of doctor and other expenditure at the hospital accounts for much more.”Kaur was discharged on Tuesday morning from a private hospital in Mohali where he was being treated. “My body does not function properly. Doctors say that this is due to the injuries that I had suffered during my fighting days. This is the reason I told my children not to take up sports as a career,” a bitter Kaur said, adding he did not allow his son to make a career in the sports after he was subjected to shabby treatment by the government. “I went to the Badal government a couple of times, but they too did not pay heed to my request. I feel they do not intend to give the prize money,” he said.
Psychological needs can affect our behavior and our perceptions. When someone wants to believe badly enough, he can convince himself he has been helped. People have been known to deny the facts – to refuse to see that the tumor is still getting bigger. If they have invested time and money, they don’t want to admit it was wasted. We see what we want to see; we remember things the way we wish they had happened. When a doctor is sincerely trying to help a patient, the patient feels a sort of social obligation to please the doctor by improving. We confuse correlation with causation. Just because an effect follows an action, that doesn’t necessarily mean the action caused the effect. When the rooster crows and then the sun comes up, we realize it’s not the crowing that made the sun come up. But when we take a pill and then we feel better, we assume it was the pill that made us feel better. We don’t stop to think that we might have felt better for some other reason. We jump to conclusions like the man who trained a flea to dance when it heard music, then cut the flea’s legs off one by one until it could no longer dance and concluded that the flea’s organ of hearing must be in its legs!
Clerics who proclaim that non-believers and apostates must be killed or call for Jihad against Jews have twitter followings running into millions." Despite the reality that Blair described, there still remains much reluctance among politicians in the West to speak frankly about the deep-seated problems of the Muslim world, especially in North Africa and the Middle East. These problems have made violence endemic, and the living conditions of most people in terror-affected regions unbearable. This politically correct reluctance to hold the Muslims who commit violence accountable for the threats they pose to others, has become, over time, untenable. Superficially, political correctness seems like a kind-hearted civility towards others and empathy with the less fortunate. At a deeper level, however it represents a self-serving uneasiness at possibly being thought judgmental or branded as bigot. At the very deepest level, it is an insult: it infantilizes a vast group of people, as one assumed they were mentally or emotionally incompetent, incapable of take responsibility for their own lives by themselves. In politics, just as self-serving, the reluctance to speak up doubtless springs from the fear of not snagging every possible vote. Since 9/11, Americans have grown increasingly curious about Muslims and Islam. They seem to have wanted to learn about the culture, politics and history of the Muslim world. The same cannot be said about Muslims. They do not seem to want to acquire a deeper understanding about America and the West. There also seems to be a disconnect between Americans in general, and the reflexively politically correct establishment, along with the mainstream media. As Americans watched, President Obama and his administration have engaged in euphemisms to speak about Muslim terrorists or Islamic extremism. Instead, they are referred to as "man-caused disasters" or "workplace violence," while the "global war on terror" was replaced by "overseas contingency operations." The coddling of Muslims and Islam, the fear of giving offense that might fuel more Muslim violence, became the hallmark of the Obama Administration. Even as the situation in the Middle East and the surrounding region radically worsened, the Obama Administration adopted a policy of appeasing Muslims instead of challenging or confronting them. Trump not only exploited this disconnect to his advantage, but also indicated his intention to reassess America's relationship with the Muslim world. An examination of the West's partnership with the Middle East is much needed. "It is where," in Blair's words, "the heart of Islam beats." ii.
Hi, my name is Choo. Today as a one man production team, I am making a dark action animated series titled as "".Hellami Animated series was originally a Flash animation back in 2010 which was inspired by the anime I watched. The series gained some popularity onbut at that time, I was busy with my 3D animation studies and never continued the series. Until recently, when I decided to devote all my time to fulfilling my dream of making an animated series with good story and characters.The story of Hellami revolts around a disease known asthat turns people into 'Sharks'. They were labeled as Sharks because of their sharp teeth feature and a lust for violence. Hellami comes into the story as a foreign inspector that investigates the unusual rising number of Sharks. What's unique for the series is the coming together of Eastern and Western elements of stories and characters. Currently, I am making season one using 3D software. The original soundtracks are composed by the talented composer,There are two big challenges for making this project. The first one is to be able to balance both time and quality since I am doing it mostly by myself. I need to carefully manage my time to finish the animation scenes and as well as maintaining a good quality. The second challenge comes from marketing. I am new to internet marketing and It can be overwhelming at times when I don't quite know where or how to promote. But slowly, I am learning to do it right and efficiently.Besides the animated series, I am also writing an ebook that shows the making process of Hellami. Anyone who is interested can download it for free on my website when I finish it by the end of 2016. For this series, I received no funding but I do have a Patreon where people can choose to donate to support me. It is one of the few ways to monetize the series.I have a part-time teaching job but making this animated series and establish my own brand has become my full-time business. I am thankful to my family that allows me to continue doing this and also grateful to the people who contributed to my project. Hellami, the Animated Series will be releasing this June 2016, I hope anyone who is reading this can go catch it!
The last layer, however, is an important one and one that we will go into later on. Let’s just take a step back and review what we’ve learned so far. We talked about what the filters in the first conv layer are designed to detect. They detect low level features such as edges and curves. As one would imagine, in order to predict whether an image is a type of object, we need the network to be able to recognize higher level features such as hands or paws or ears. So let’s think about what the output of the network is after the first conv layer. It would be a 28 x 28 x 3 volume (assuming we use three 5 x 5 x 3 filters). When we go through another conv layer, the output of the first conv layer becomes the input of the 2nd conv layer. Now, this is a little bit harder to visualize. When we were talking about the first layer, the input was just the original image. However, when we’re talking about the 2nd conv layer, the input is the activation map(s) that result from the first layer. So each layer of the input is basically describing the locations in the original image for where certain low level features appear. Now when you apply a set of filters on top of that (pass it through the 2nd conv layer), the output will be activations that represent higher level features. Types of these features could be semicircles (combination of a curve and straight edge) or squares (combination of several straight edges). As you go through the network and go through more conv layers, you get activation maps that represent more and more complex features. By the end of the network, you may have some filters that activate when there is handwriting in the image, filters that activate when they see pink objects, etc. If you want more information about visualizing filters in ConvNets, Matt Zeiler and Rob Fergus had an excellent research paper discussing the topic. Jason Yosinski also has a video on YouTube that provides a great visual representation.
a shoulder guard or perhaps a scarf) would make the two look like a more complete and cohesive pair. Heck, even extending the white wings on Quinn's back so that they become a cape could possibly do the trick. - The skin is too bright pink all around, making it look a lot more like a Star Guardian skin than Heartseeker. Deepening the pink or perhaps replacing it with red and gold in some areas would give the skin more color diversity. Maybe even adding some brown like [Heartseeker Varus](http://img12.deviantart.net/e6b8/i/2015/058/4/f/heartseeker_varus_by_dimidevos-d8jq4qu.jpg)?! - Quinn's idle animation does not suit her new Heartseeker visuals. Perhaps a more upright or elegant idle stance would do the trick (which would definitely justify a price raise). - Valor looks too much like a cockatoo even though he's supposed to be a dove. - Quinn's basic attack and Skystrike arrows do not match the heart-tipped arrows shown on her crossbow or quiver. ___ UPDATE: Riot's been listening, and [changes are coming](https://twitter.com/KateyAnthony/status/806588192677720064)! :D Thanks to everyone who helped pitch in and gave constructive feedback! ___ EDIT: Now that the final touches are being made to Heartseeker Quinn, I just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone here for pitching in their feedback along with me, especially those who remained polite and objective the whole way through. Quinn is definitely an underrated Champ, but I'm happy to see she's got such a dedicated and passionate fanbase at her back. Also many thanks to Riot KateyKhaos and her team for patiently listening to us and taking action in response to our feedback. It's been a pleasure taking part in this with all of you guys ^_^
Now I know people tell me it’s well engineered or that he was the first to do it and I respect that but…It’s the beat pattern, man. Strip away the metal, hear the beat. The beat’s killer.You can’t hear the beats anymore the mid-range b-line is so prominent.Yeah I suppose… I hear it from a DJs perspective.”Bury the Boy” is a beat. “Mud” is a beat.Nah, I defend Coki still. It’s just mental, I just know his intros and shit, it’s not doing what others are doing. It’s a 16 bar build up and a drop but it’s so different. It’s like you’re sitting in a quiet room, someone opens the door a big fireball hits you. I rioting crowd runs in your room and just fucks everything up.Oh there’s no doubt that’s what it does…And I don’t think the other shit does that. The other shit just makes you go ‘oh, yeah…’ and nod your head, blah blah blah. You can’t deny all that wobble shit it makes you nod your head. I’d be nodding my head to drum & bass, doesn’t mean I like it.Yeah but the standards are higher, that’s not the objective is it? Just to nod your head.Yeah, heh, yeah. Fair enough, I can’t argue with that. But yeah, he’s doing his thing. I think it was more offensive when people were writing shit digidub then when people were ripping off wobble. It got to the point where it was ‘token Jamaican.’Jamaican accent: ‘right that’s going in a tune.’Yeah we clocked early that it was not something we’d ever be able to do well, so stopped doing it.I never even tried.Mala, Coki their early tracks were just so strong in this, and then “Anti War Dub” used Coki’s relatives in Jamaica. Since they did it so well, I figured it was best to go the other way. I mean… it’s reggae! You gotta know what you’re doing to step to reggae. Even Hank Shocklee said that to me, said that Brooklyn owns reggae, us hip hop boys don’t try and touch it.And also if you hear reggae in Brooklyn? I’m not into that sound at all. It’s got that American side to it. I mean I New York? Definitely, that’s where the dreads are at, but I dunno.
However, the title character Charles Foster Kane is mostly a composite of any number of powerful, colorful, and influential American individualists and financial barons in the early 20th century (e.g., Time Magazine's founder and mogul Henry Luce, Chicago newspaper head Harold McCormick, and other magnates of the time). By contrast, the real-life Hearst was born into wealth, whereas Kane was of humble birth - the son of poor boarding-house proprietors. And Kane also was separated from both his mother and his mistress, unlike Hearst.

He thought Willkie’s thesis was founded on sand and that its corollary – that the United States must undertake to police the world – was a dangerous doctrine. Lippmann argued that all nations must balance their commitments with their resources and should avoid being overextended. Lippmann’s formula for peace was no new League of Nations but a basic alliance of the United States, Britain and Russia. No other nations were serious factors in the world power equation. China and France were not great powers. Only Britain and Russia were strong enough to threaten U.S. security, but given America’s close ties to Britain, there was no risk from that quarter. The only real danger was a falling out with Russia, but peace and stability required that this be avoided at all costs, for an Anglo-American alliance against Russia would set the stage ‘inexorably’ for a third world war.”
If you are one of those people who cringe at the thought of strangers fondling your food, you shouldn’t go out to eat. As the author and former chef Nicolas Freeling notes in his definitive book “The Kitchen,” the better the restaurant, the more your food has been prodded, poked, handled, and tasted. By the time a three-star crew has finished carving and arranging your saddle of monkfish with dried cherries and wild-herb-infused nage into a Parthenon or a Space Needle, it’s had dozens of sweaty fingers all over it. Gloves? You’ll find a box of surgical gloves—in my kitchen we call them “anal-research gloves”—over every station on the line, for the benefit of the health inspectors, but does anyone actually use them? Yes, a cook will slip a pair on every now and then, especially when he’s handling something with a lingering odor, like salmon. But during the hours of service gloves are clumsy and dangerous. When you’re using your hands constantly, latex will make you drop things, which is the last thing you want to do.

But just about the only place you’ll see anyone in the kitchen wearing a hat or a hairnet is Blimpie. For most chefs, wearing anything on their head, especially one of those picturesque paper toques—they’re often referred to as “coffee filters”—is a nuisance: they dissolve when you sweat, bump into range hoods, burst into flame. The fact is that most good kitchens are far less septic than your kitchen at home. I run a scrupulously clean, orderly restaurant kitchen, where food is rotated and handled and stored very conscientiously. But if the city’s Department of Health or the E.P.A. decided to enforce every aspect of its codes, most of us would be out on the street. Recently, there was a news report about the practice of recycling bread. By means of a hidden camera in a restaurant, the reporter was horrified to see returned bread being sent right back out to the floor. This, to me, wasn’t news: the reuse of bread has been an open secret—and a fairly standard practice—in the industry for years. It makes more sense to worry about what happens to the leftover table butter—many restaurants recycle it for hollandaise. What do I like to eat after hours?

Roaches, mold and crumbling ceilings - complaints from some tenants who say it's not what they expected when they signed leases on their rental homes.Another tenant didn't expect to be jolted by an electric shock during a dip in her swimming pool either. "I jumped in the pool, the pool was literally electrified," Cathy Cole told Eyewitness News of the shocking experience on Memorial Day weekend. "It scared me," she said. "I thought I was being electrocuted. "Cathy said the shock was caused by shoddy work on a loose ground wire by a vendor hired by her landlord - Starwood Waypoint Homes.Waypoint is part of a new breed of corporate, mega-landlords scooping up mostly foreclosed single-family homes across the country. In a series of big money deals, some of the largest corporate landlords have recently merged, adding tens of thousands of these homes to their portfolios.Just this week, Starwood Waypoint merged with Invitation Homes. They are now the largest landlord of single-family homes in the world - controlling an empire of 82,000 rental homes nationwide, with about 8,000 in Southern California alone.Cathy Cole said she put up with years of frustration over a leaking roof at her Lancaster home. Waypoint, she said, did patch-work type repairs but the leaks continued. She said she had to threaten the company with a lawsuit before they finally agreed to replace the roof this fall. "Three-and-a-half years and eight prior repairs to fix the same leak," Cathy said.Waypoint acknowledged there were too many repair attempts before making the decision to replace the roof - but said its decision to do so had nothing to do with the threatened lawsuit.Cathy Cole is one of dozens of tenants to come forward in a joint ABC and Eyewitness News investigation. ABC stations across the country found tenants with frustrating stories to tell - from collapsing ceilings to health concerns they attribute to suspected mold or raw sewage. "Complaints are coming in from all over the United States," said Matt Fehling of the Better Business Bureau. "Things like air conditioners going out for extended periods of time, water leaks. "The Better Business Bureau said Waypoint has a pattern of complaints, is slow to respond to maintenance requests and quick to tack on extra fees. Its' current BBB rating is a D+.Waypoint told ABC News it's always striving to do better.
I should have investigated it from the start -Streamlined the "Garland's plan to make Gaia into Terra," "Who is speaking during the ending," "Does Vivi die" and "Where did Vivi's sons come from?" sections -Removed the utterly pointless "Did Kuja die"? article. He died. It's obvioius. Move on -Removed the "Did Kuja Shatter the Crystal?" article. He obviously didn't since the universe didn't end. I really don't know why I entertained such debates in the past -Removed the "How Long After Kuja's Death Does the Ending Take Place?" article. It's unnecessary. For the record, though, the most the FFIX Ultimania says about it is that a week passed between the time Zidane went back to the Iifa Tree for Kuja and the time that the the tree stopped moving (pg. 46) -Removed the "Quina: male or female?" article. It's obvious from the game itself that it's intended to be ambiguous. It's pointless to debate this. Personally, I think it might be possible that Quina's race -- the Qu -- reproduce asexually, like some species of frog are able to. Given the Qu's long tongues, amphibious appearances, and fondness for dwellings in marshes and near water, it wouldn't be all that surprising. At any rate, Quina's obsession with eating frogs definitely makes us think of those animals whenever we think of Quina -Removed the "Four Jewels and their Purpose" article. Unnecessary. Just follow the link to the FFIX Ultimania translations on TheLifestream.net for that. It's obvious from the game, anyway, that they're used to summon Alexander and were divided so as to prevent him from being summoned again -Streamlined the Gulug Stone and "What is Ozma?" articles -Removed the "Is There A Hidden Connection Between Eiko (or Dagger) and Amarant?" article. Pointless -Removed the "Holy's Components" article. That whole thing was stupid. I don't know what I was thinking back in the day -Removed "The Nature of Ultima" article. As with the section on Holy: dumb. Gone -Removed "Elemental Properties of Magic" article. That one was really a waste of time and space. Why I thought it sounded good, I don't know. Must have been inspired by something I was interested in at the time -Gave the "Spirit Energy and Memories" article its own section.
The Pope seems uncertain how to deal with a crisis of confidence unparalleled in modern times. The Vatican's public relations strategy so far has been to blame the media - particularly the foreign media - for exaggerating the problem. Many bishops have rallied to support the Pope and his policies for dealing with paedophile priests, although some are openly demanding greater humility and transparency from the Church. The Vatican has in the past consistently played down the extent of clerical paedophilia. Its spokesman has been engaged in a major damage control operation. He has to try to convince the world that policies now in place are adequate to tackle the problem and ensure that clerics who commit these crimes are properly tried in the civil courts as well as punished by Church authorities. His remarks echoed comments made a week earlier by Pope Benedict. With the Church already under pressure over the abuse allegations, the Pope said his faith would help give him the courage to deflect "petty gossip". In his Easter "Urbi et Orbi" address, the Pope said the salvation of the Gospel was needed "to emerge from a profound crisis, one which requires deep change, beginning with consciences". After offering prayers for victims of crime, conflict and natural disasters around the world, he added: "Easter doesn't work magic... After the resurrection the Church always finds history filled not only with joy and hope but also with grief and anguish." Pope Benedict has not made any explicit comment on the issue since he penned a letter apologising for child-abuse in the Irish Church late last month. The pontiff has been accused personally of failing to take action against a suspected abuser during his tenure as archbishop of Munich - a claim the Vatican strongly denies. Critics also say that when he was prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which deals with sex abuse cases, he did not act against a priest in the US state of Wisconsin who is thought to have abused some 200 deaf boys. The Vatican's official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, stepped up its defence of the Pope in its Sunday edition, publishing messages of support from around the world and denouncing the "slanderous attacks and the defamation campaign surrounding the drama of abuse by priests".
BACKSTAGE - INTERVIEW WITH GREG WEISMAN The World�s Finest caught up with Young Justice Producer Greg Weisman for an all-new interview to discuss not only the series finale of the acclaimed animated series, based on the popular DC Comics characters, but to also look back at the complex super-hero cartoon. Weisman dives into themes, characters, designations, casting and much more. Young Justice airs Saturdays at 10:30am (ET/PT) as part of DC Nation on Cartoon Network! The series finale episode �Endgame� airs at 10:30am (ET/PT) on March 16th, 2013. Continue below for more. The World�s Finest: I personally believe that, even with the growth of the cast in the second season, Young Justice is still about the original core team introduced at the start of the first season. Would that be a correct statement to make? Greg Weisman: Not exactly. I would say that the original core Team was more of a priority than some of the new characters. But fundamentally the second season was plot-driven. I don't think we sacrificed character, but characterization would have to come on the fly in service of the larger story. Season One was about us weaving a tapestry to introduce world, characters, conflicts, etc. Season Two had a single driving story (on multiple fronts) and the characters that have been emphasized - or at any rate received the most screen time - were the ones that the story required. So early in Season Two, you see more of Superboy - but less of him in the second half. On the other hand, Artemis barely appeared in the first half-dozen episodes, but her role became quite important, starting in episode 207 and forward. Blue Beetle, as a creation of the Reach, was obviously going to increase in importance as the season progressed and more and more of that connection and its accompanying dilemma were revealed. And because we only had 20 episodes in Season Two, rather than the 26 we had in Season One, I think it's fair to say that certain characters got shorter shrift than others. But the goal was never to give everyone equal time, but rather to make the most of what time we had to offer. I suppose one could make the argument that certain characters didn't need to appear at all, i.e. the fewer the characters, the more screen time there would be for those that made the cut.
Moreover, India is the China's largest trading partner in South Asia and ninth largest export market in the world," it said.According to the statement, the distinct features of China-India trade are mutual benefits and growing inter- dependence, which contributes to the full use of factors of production and maximization of the benefits to all the people. "In 2015, China has imported 2 billion dollars' worth of cotton and more than 100 million dollars' worth of black tea from India, bring benefits to 1.2 million cotton growers and 50000 tea farmers and sellers in India. "Moreover, 60-70 per cent of Indian APIs for its pharmaceutical industry are from China. China has played an important role in Indian pharmaceutical industry's march to EU and America market. "China also exported a lot of electronic and household products which are attractive both in price and quality. Chinese products not only lowered India's inflation rate, but also fulfilled Indian ordinary people, especially the low- income people's daily needs, greatly improved their life quality."
Time and again, massive edifices around the globe have been built that are encapsulations of the heavenly story, serving as stellar ‘computers.’ But this astrotheological Masonry was corrupted, as the power mongering historicizers drove its true meaning and religion underground in a vicious quest to subjugate the world and acquire its wealth.” Acharya S., “The Christ Conspiracy” (2445)
""Yesterday, in the course of the day," Rumkowski tells the assembled Jews, who only thought that they had lived through hell at that point, "I was given the order to send away more than 20,000 Jews from the ghetto, and if I did not – 'we will do it ourselves'. "And it is this phrase. This "we will do it ourselves" that is the true name of the moloch of peace. Hear the rationalizations now from Rumkowski's lips on September 4, 1942, addressing men and women who are doomed to death. Hear it from the lips of Netanyahu and his associates. Hear it from the conservative rationalizers who warn that if Israel does not give up its children on the altar of peace, Obama and the European Union and all the rest will do it themselves. "The question arose: 'Should we have accepted this and carried it out ourselves, or left it to others?' But as we were guided not by the thought: "how many will be lost?" but "how many can be saved?" we arrived at the conclusion – those closest to me at work, that is, and myself – that however difficult it was going to be, we must take upon ourselves the carrying out of this decree," Rumkowski said, transforming his collaboration in the murder of thousands of children into an act of personal courage. "I must carry out this difficult and bloody operation, I must cut off limbs in order to save the body! "Israel has chopped off quite a few limbs already. But there are more to be chopped off. And the question is not how many will die, how many will be thrown out of their homes, but how many can be saved. That diplomatic triage is the bloody rationale of peace.Rabin warned that if Israel did not accept an autonomous territory, then it would be forced to accept a state. Peres warned that if Israel did not accept a state in Gaza and the West Bank, it would lose Jerusalem. Sharon warned that if Israel didn't accept the expulsion of the Jews of Gaza, it would lose everything up to the '67 borders. Olmert warned that if Israel didn't accept the partition of Jerusalem, it would lose the entire city.Israel accepted most of these things and each of the terrible losses it sought to avert came about anyway, not naturally, but because of these prior concessions.
Getty images 13/50 Diego Godin Godin came into the World Cup on a wave of momentum following his La Liga-clinching goal that won the Spanish league for Atletico Madrid. The centre-back was not at his best for the opening defeat to Costa Rica, but came into his own as Uruguay battled back to qualify for the second round. Very much the linchpin of the back-four, Godin helped keep a clean sheet against Italy and scored the crucial goal that took them through to the last-16. However, he suffered due to those around him offering insufficient support in defence against the better teams. Getty images 14/50 Kostas Manolas (Centre-back, Greece) Manolas had a stellar tournament for Greece in his marking and tackles, and he was also consistent in his performances on the whole that helped the Greeks reach the second round. The 23-year-old, who has been linked with Arsenal, is a natural defender with a strong and tough personality that can pose a problem to any player in the world. Given that Greece’s campaign lacked goals, Manolas was the stand-out player during their four-game run. 15/50 Thiago Silva (Centre-back, Brazil) While Silva’s talents were obvious for all to see before the tournament, his impact could not have been felt more when he was ruled out of the semi-finals after picking up a stupid second yellow card against Colombia. Nonetheless, his performances helped Brazil to come through a tricky group and take the impressive Chile to a penalty shootout, not to mention his goal against Colombia to take the Selecao through. Such is Silva’s commandment at the back, he has even had a calming influence on David Luiz, which is in a way even more impressive than his talent. Getty Images 16/50 Rafik Halliche (Centre-back, Algeria) The surprise package of the World Cup came in the form of Algeria, and before the World Cup started many would have been guilty of asking “who?” when quizzed on Halliche. The 27-year-old was part of a well-drilled Algerian side that based itself on its defence, and he even managed to add a goal during the 4-1 win over South Korea. GETTY IMAGES 17/50 Philipp Lahm (Defensive midfielder/right-back, Germany) The Germany captain had a quiet start to the tournament as he let the attacking-minded players take the plaudits against Portugal.
Far Cry 3 review (10/10) What we said: "In the past, Far Cry's vision of a first-person shooter RPG where you explore, master and then control your environment has always been more seductive on paper than any of its developers have managed to deliver on disc. Far Cry 3 changes all that. For me, this is the new apex predator of open-world shooters. Hunt it down as soon as you can." magicpocket wrote: "Skyrim with tigers and jungle." VyseHazuky wrote: "Over the past decade Ubisoft has brought us their vision of providing games with a larger scope. As such, they effectively took away Crytek's ridiculous premises from FC1 and instead turned to tales of war and now piratry. Although it misses FC2s more ambitious aspects such as its trademark moments of loss of control (malaria attacks, jamming weapons, in-game map), it became better in every other aspect, still providing a unique FPS experience unlike any other avaiable, and probably becoming a better, more satisfying game experience for it." Doc-Revelator wrote: "Ubisoft finally delivered the Far Cry that always should have been. Confident, assured, thrilling and huge amounts of fun. Brilliantly polished and varied gameplay and some great performances and presentation provide a very expensive feeling blockbuster with real soul. The gunplay, stealth and action put other games to shame. Jack of all trades, and largely master of them."

China on Wednesday showed interest in reviving its proposal to build high speed railway projects in India which has chosen Japan as a partner for the country's first such venture.China has been aggressively marketing its high-speed rail technology abroad and in the past lobbied hard to get the first contract in India. It had taken up a feasibility study for the New Delhi-Chennai corridor but no headway has been made in this regard so far.The Chinese side showed interest in the projects in India as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe prepared to lay the foundation for India's first bullet train project. "China is pleased to see the infrastructure among the regional countries including the high-speed railway," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a media briefing in Beijing when asked about the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project using Japanese technology. "We stand ready to promote cooperation with India and other regional countries for regional development," Mr Geng said expressing interest in reviving the project. "As to the railway cooperation, it is part of the practical cooperation between India and China. We have reached important consensus in this regard. Relevant competent authorities between the two countries maintained communication and increasing speed of railway in the current projects," he said.India and China have worked out a number of cooperative agreements for the development of railways under which the Indian Railways engineers are getting trained in China in heavy hauling.China is also cooperating with India to set up a rail university. It has also undertaken work to renovate some of the railway stations in India. China currently has the world's longest high-speed rail network. It has connected most of its cities with high speed trains reducing the travel time drastically.
France reportedly has over 1,000 citizens under surveillance who have recently traveled to Iraq and Syria, believed to have fought alongside terrorists France itself has been arming. In an NBC article titled, “French Intelligence Is Tracking 1,000 Who Have Been to Iraq, Syria: Expert,” it is reported that: “French intelligence is mostly focused today on more than 1,000 French citizens that traveled to Syria and Iraq since 2012,” said Jean-Charles Brisard, the author of “Zarqawi: The New Face of Al-Qaeda.” He added that one-fifth of them were being tracked around the clock. “This is a problem of resources,” he added. “We cannot follow everyone.” Brisard said the brothers had been “well known to French intelligence [for] several years now.” It is almost certain that the suspects were not only being tracked by French and US intelligence, but selected as prime candidates for pulling off the provocative attack in Paris last week – as part of a greater agenda of manipulating public perception to further crush civil liberties at home and expand hegemonic wars overseas. France is already occupying several of its former colonies in Africa, had participated in the destruction of Libya and its subsequent handover to Al Qaeda terrorist, who with NATO backing, used it as a springboard to attack Syria. In fact, it is now confirmed that France had provided weapons to terrorists fighting the Syrian government since 2011. France 24 would report last year in an article titled, “France delivered arms to Syrian rebels, Hollande confirms,” that: President Francois Hollande said on Thursday that France had delivered weapons to rebels battling the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad “a few months ago.” It is likely that if the Paris shooters were indeed in Syria, they may likely have been holding French-supplied weapons as they honed their skills later to be used to spill French blood in Paris.
If you would have, I would say, a highly-skilled individual from the Resistance that can do something safely without anybody being harmed in a very short period of time compared to a small group of people on the surface that could get hurt and would do this much less effectively with more risk. It is simply something that will not happen.The Resistance will not . . . They want to increase their efficiency not decrease it. They want to have as little harm as possible and as much positive effect as possible.You see the planetary liberation is not a romantic, hero movie. It's a real situation, and sometimes people like to join this from the wrong reason. They would like to have some action in their lives. They would like to make their life a little bit more interesting, but it's a real war. It's not a game. : Absolutely, and this corresponds to the information given by the people from [? Terracore, Bob Renown], back in the '80s, who said, “Look, it's just useless. You'd be destroyed. You wouldn't have a choice or a snowballs chance in hell.”And yet, you know, we do have a real situation on Earth, and I'm sure there are many people who are motivated by sincere actions, not for just a little activity in their life, but . . . : Okay. For those, I would give them advice to train themselves in ways of educating themselves, working on their personalities to be able to be reliable so that the Light forces can count on them, that they will not be provoked.For example, if there is a little bit of negative influence, they would not start attacking each other.And one of the main lessons for the surface population, for those who would like to be involved, is to be able to cooperate with each other, without attacking each other, without fighting with each other. And that is the main task.And people who pass that test can expect being involved in something more serious in the future – maybe even before the Event. : That's really good news. So there you have it, folks. Develop your levels of discernment, your protection and the ability to control your thoughts in face of all the attacks.Cobra, I did some . . . You read my pre-interview transcript and it seems that it was well-timed as you were attacked by this Well-Aware One.
Therefore, any action to increase regulatory burdens on broadband providers would run directly counter to our efforts. I hope that most states and localities will not waste time and resources attempting to push the boundaries, but I realize that some will do so regardless. I expect the agency to be vigilant in identifying and pursuing these cases. I also commit to work closely with the Chairman and OGC to help quash any conflicts that arise. Responding to Baseless Process Complaints Before concluding, I want to address the atmospherics surrounding the process in this proceeding. I'll start with the number and identity of the comments submitted. Some would have us believe that the comment process has been irreparably tainted by the large number of fake comments. That view reflects a lack of understanding about the Administrative Procedure Act. The agency is required to consider and respond to all significant comments in the record. Millions of comments that simply say something along the lines of "keep net neutrality" or other colorful language we can't say in public – whether they are submitted by real people, bots, or honey badgers – have no impact on the decision. As the order makes clear, we do not rely on any such comments. While it is possible that the agency may want to tighten the comment filing system going forward, the fact of the matter is that fake comments are not unique to this proceeding and had no impact on the substance or propriety of the decision. To be clear, that does not mean that comments were ignored. I commend staff for the extra effort they had to take to sift through the extraneous comments. Many were simply obscenity laced tirades. Yet the order reflects a careful evaluation and response to all significant comments, including those that took a different position. Unlike the 2015 order where opposing viewpoints were relegated to footnotes and dismissed without commentary, often in the form of lengthy "but see" string cites, this order engages with and responds to such comments in a credible and substantive way. Additionally, I disagree with the suggestion that the Commission should have held public hearings. Any member of the public that wanted to express a view could have done so through the standard comment process, and many, many did.
Bilal Joudi, 57, the owner of Party House Liquor, hasn't been seen behind the counter for several months, but customers had no idea why. "I actually asked the other day where he had gone, and the co-worker had said that he's on vacation, " said customer Sara Digges.Redondo Beach police arrested Joudi on Oct. 1 for possessing cocaine and selling prescription drugs. Investigators were tipped off that he was allegedly selling cigarettes, alcohol, OxyContin, Vicodin and Xanax to minors.Police say they found a stash of drugs in a storage room of the liquor store and that's not all. "Through the course of the investigation, they also determined that he was also sexually contacting and molesting teenage girls," said Redondo Beach police Sgt. Shawn Freeman.Joudi was released from jail two days after his arrest. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has filed drug charges and child molestation charges against him, but police now believe he may have fled the country.Teenagers who were regular customers say they knew him as Bill and that he was always friendly. "If we were short a couple cents, he would just like hook us up and stuff like that," said customer Justin Booth. "He was never like a mean guy or anything to us. He was a nice guy. "At Salon Riviera, just two doors down from Party House Liquor, hair stylists say they're not surprised by the allegations of drug dealing. "We have a parking lot in the back so there were always kind of sketchy people coming through the back so we definitely saw some stuff," said Spencer Henry. "We had our assumptions. "A $220,000 warrant has been issued for Joudi's arrest.Anyone with any information on the investigation or Joudi's whereabouts was urged to contact Detective Mike Green at the Redondo Beach Police Department's Special Investigations Unit at (310) 379-2477 Ext. 2273.
Both Mayor Schaaf’s Housing Cabinet in 2015-2016 and the CASA effort in 2018-2019 were explicitly modeled after Seattle’s HALA — although in Oakland’s case, without the requisite resources for implementation, and in CASA’s case, with a regional scale that makes the “compact” as ambitious as it will be contentious to implement.Whatever becomes of CASA’s recommendations, equity advocates ensured that this process looked at preserving housing and protecting tenants as well as production. Building housing will always have its proponents — given the profit to be made by creating more of a scarce, necessary, and expensive good But anti-displacement advocates — and the low-income residents we work with in Oakland and other affected areas — generally agree that all “three Ps” are necessary to address the Bay Area’s housing crisis in a way that doesn’t replicate or worsen displacement, unsustainable land use, or segregation.Shaw’s comparison of Seattle and San Francisco is interesting, but San Francisco is not the East Bay, and I worry that this excerpt will give your readers the mistaken impression that the dynamics are the same here. For example, while Shaw specifically calls out the NIMBY actions of the Sierra Club in San Francisco — and environmental groups have at best a mixed record in their support of housing — it’s worth noting that the Sierra Club’s Bay Area chapter came out in support of Prop. 1 (an affordable housing bond that will help construct more dense housing), and Prop. 10 (to lift the statewide ban on rent control). Housing advocates in Oakland, Walnut Creek, Concord, and elsewhere have worked with Greenbelt Alliance, Communities for a Better Environment, Save Mount Diablo, and others to support equitable affordable housing development that also connects to environmental sustainability and justice.One silver lining to this grim housing crisis is that many more people, groups, and elected officials are proposing solutions. This energy is welcome, but the media and decision-makers must also consult those who were doing this work before it was sexy and centering the lowest-income and most marginalized people — including organizations like EBHO, Non-Profit Housing Association, Urban Habitat, Oakland Tenants Union, and of course, directly impacted people themselves. Upzoning and building are necessary but not sufficient solutions. Our housing crisis was decades in the making, complex, and profoundly tied to racial discrimination — thus, our solutions must be complex, driven by urgency but oriented to the long term, and conscious of racial and social equity.
officer who also served in Lebanon called Nasrallah “a Lebanese phenomenon,” adding, “Yes, he’s aided by Iran and Syria, but Hezbollah’s gone beyond that.” He told me that there was a period in the late eighties and early nineties when the C.I.A. station in Beirut was able to clandestinely monitor Nasrallah’s conversations. He described Nasrallah as “a gang leader who was able to make deals with the other gangs. He had contacts with everybody.” TELLING CONGRESS

Catholic Prayer of Selflessness. There are over 3,000 cases pending in the Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints which are scrutinized on the basis of merit and worthiness. On September 5, 1997 the council readied itself for a case which may leap frog the rest with little debate. When two posthumous miracles can be verified by the Vatican, Mother Teresa will join her namesake, Saint Teresa of Lisieux in the ranks of the churches most revered. The original Saint Teresa is celebrated by Catholics for her extraordinary literary talents. One of her most quoted phrases has been, "Love is repaid by love alone." Mother Teresa first read these words when she was eighteen years-old while on her way to Ireland to become a nun. Sixty-nine years later before her death she must have realized that she was one of the most loved women in the world. If the Saint Teresas phrase has any literal meaning, there is possibly no one in our age who has deserved so much love in return as the future Saint Teresa. While the world attempted to show this love with an extravagant state funeral and several tributes, she would have probably been happier with a simpler service and burial. She would likely have preferred that the people who gathered in Calcutta and around the world would have spent their time helping the poor and continuing her work rather than celebrating our remembrance of it. If we had learned her lessons well, we would have realized that we shouldnt concern ourselves with grief for her but instead concentrate on the people that she had worked so hard to help. Remembering her means remembering what was important to her. She would have told us that a state funeral, tributes and titles dont feed the poor or cure the sick. Now that she is gone the official confirmation of sainthood is really just a formality. With or without it, anyone who has heard her story can attest to her worthiness. This was a woman who felt being a devout nun, just wasnt enough. She gave up her Sisters of Loretto robe for the blue and white sari of the poor, to aid and live among the destitute of Calcutta.
(2) Cohn et al. (2004) find that the students who report problems with graphs (about half) also do worse on exams. Paradoxically, even more students (70 percent) feel that graphs are helpful. This latter result would not contradict the former result if students aspire to understand graphs without being able to use them very well. (3) Cohn et al. conclude by questioning the value of adding graphs to algebra.In contrast to these results, Hey (2005) advocates teaching with graphs but not algebra. We reconcile this apparent inconsistency with Cohn et al. by noting that students may be confused by the combination of algebra and graphs, not graphs or algebra per se. Elzinga (2001) writes basically the same thing--saying that "good teaching" (time, effort) is probably more important than the method of presentation.Our notion agrees with Frank (2002, p. 460), who says "my point is not that the ideas themselves are useless. Rather, it is that, for beginning students, the effort required to master them could be far better spent in other ways." (4) Hamermesh (2002) puts this in a broader context, advocating that Principles be taught as if students will not take another economics class. Instead, professors should teach the most important concepts with the least technical means possible. Comprehension is important: Dynan and Rouse (1997) find that "bad performance" reduces the chance that a student will pursue the economics major.Other research fleshes out these results: Anderson et al. (1994) find that students with a background in calculus are less likely to drop introductory economics, but a background in algebra hardly matters. In Becker and Watts (2001), professors in Principles rate calculus, algebra and graphs as (respectively) "not at all," "moderately" and "extremely" important. These results are perhaps compatible if a calculus background is correlated with proficiency in algebra and graphs--something that Becker (1997) concludes. Ballard and Johnson (2004) also find a positive correlation between mathematical ability and performance in Principles.2. Survey of StudentsEconomists are comfortable with the idiosyncracies of inverse demand, but we suspected that students were not. We surveyed 283 undergraduate students taking economics classes at our big university, and--after eliminating incomplete surveys--we ended up with 245 non-representative observations. (5)In the survey (see Appendix A), we asked students to provide descriptive data and answer eight multiple choice questions divided into three parts. Part I's questions showed a demand graph and asked students to chose the equation that matched it (graph [right arrow] equation).

The first three transactions at other ATMs are free but after this, the bank can choose to pass on the cost to the consumer.Just last week, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant had said that cards, ATMs and PoS machines would become redundant in the country by 2020. " … by 2020, my view is that in the next two-anda-half years, India will make all its debit cards, credit cards, all ATM machines, all POS machines totally irrelevant," Kant had said. "India will make this jump because every Indian will be doing his transaction just by using his thumb in thirty seconds...."
