Is that the one who lied about military service? One of them did - they said they served but never did. I'd have to scavenge through the bin to find the news article. It's one thing forgetting that you received a bottle of Grange and a complete different one forgetting that you never served in the military. Perhaps walking past a recruitment stall at a fare counts as service?

She has famously had coughing fits and convulsions in public (youtube search if you like). The latest episode saw her collapse while being led to her car. The Clinton response to the concerns is that she suffered from an allergy and has a bout of pneumonia.

So we are now at a point where _both_ of the candidates could be found guilty of pretty serious things (underage rape or security breaches) mere weeks _after_ they are elected!
USA USA Indeed!
I haven't read of any police/FBI considering charges against Trump. But with Clinton, it looks as if the only question is whether she gets indicted before or after the election. Obama must have prepared his speech for a presidential pardon of Hillary already.

I hope you can shield your own children from such 'civil suits' cobran. The man is a maggot.
If my daughter was raped, I'd expect her to be going to the police to have criminal charges laid immediately, not civil charges 22 years later. What bothers me about all these women coming forward is why now and not immediately when some of the accusations occurred decades ago? Were they paid?
The civil rape case (why civil & not criminal?) was alleged to have been done against one of Epstein's call girls. This is the same Epstein that Bill Clinton was also involved with and Hillary has eternally defended him.
That Trump is a maggot is not something I totally disagree with him. But then it is probably an asset for US President based on past history, as seen here, here and here! My biggest problem with Trump is that he is attracting the support of serious maggots like the KKK.
So what is the other choice for POTUS? It is Hillary who:
is unable to keep classified information secret,
is directly linked to a Foundation that received pay-to-play donations and from countries like Saudi Arabia. Now what is the human rights record from such countries on women young girls, homosexuals, religious groups (other than muslims)?!!
The US citizens have the choice between two unsavoury candidates. But only one is outwardly known to be corrupt and incapable of handling state secrets, which is a major drawback for POTUS. My money is on Clinton going to jail before Trump.
Sixty percent of voters view Hillary Clinton unfavorably, according to a ABC News/Washington Post poll released Monday morning, the highest level of unpopularity yet for the Democratic presidential nominee.
Her Republican opponent Donald Trump is seen unfavorably by essentially as many, 58%. Overall, the race for president is heading down to the wire, with the poll showing Clinton leading Trump among likely voters by just one point, 46% to 45%. The poll was taken Wednesday through Saturday....
Gehad El-Haddad, the now-imprisoned former spokesman for the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s “Freedom and Justice Party,” was paid by the Clinton Foundation even as he promoted the Brotherhood’s interests as an adviser to Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi.
...Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW) has appealed to the Islamist-dominated parliament not to approve two controversial laws on the minimum age of marriage and allowing a husband to have sex with his dead wife within six hours of her death according to a report in an Egyptian newspaper...
...She was referring to two laws: one that would legalize the marriage of girls starting from the age of 14 and the other that permits a husband to have sex with his dead wife within the six hours following her death.
According to Egyptian columnist Amro Abdul Samea in al-Ahram, Talawi’s message included an appeal to parliament to avoid the controversial legislations that rid women of their rights of getting education and employment, under alleged religious interpretations.…

I just want to make beautiful things…
No Boys, New Toys
One of the perks of being single is not only the lack of leg shaving, but also the free time I have to explore new possibilities with fiber arts.
I found these wool carders at one of the flea markets where my mama has a booth. Unfortunately, the dealer didn’t know what he/she had, because they were marked as individual ‘wool combs’, so I basically paid twice for them 👎
However, combined they were still cheaper than a brand new pair.
I found a lady on Instagram who processes her own alpaca fiber into rolags to spin without sending it to the mill. She was kind enough to walk me thru the process, so if I get my homework done this weekend, I’m gonna take one of my smaller pelts and give it a shot!!
Yes, homework I said. I still have 6 hours of confidentiality training to do with the local Shelter I’m doin my internship at.
So far, I love it. I’m so happy this opportunity fell from Heaven to me. There are some women and children who break my heart, and make me laugh, but I love how no two days are the same.

July 7th 1339
The re-possession of Perth
The lade used to surrond three sides of Perth
After the death of Robert the Bruce in 1329, Scotland entered another period of uncertainty. Edward
Balliol, with the support of Edward 3rd of England, invaded the country and after winning the battle of
Dupplin occupied Perth and was crowned at Scone. His triumph was short lived, Perth was reoccupied
by the Scots and Balliol was forced back over the border.
The following year he was back again with a large body of English barons and their followers. The
country was re-occupied and Balliol swore fealty to Edward as his Lord Paramount. As time went by
it became more and more obvious that it was only the presence of the English soldiers that enabled
Balliol to remain in control. Slowly the Scots regained the strong points within the kingdom and by
1339 they commenced the task of repossessing Perth. By this time it was under the command of Sir
Thomas Ughtred and the city was strongly fortified. Surrounded on three sides by the Town Lade, it was
very difficult to scale the defences and with the fourth side fronting the Tay the garrison was enabled
to receive supplies from the English ships on the river.
The siege continued for over two months without any great success until five French ships-of-war
sailed into the Tay estuary and were able to blockade the river. At the same time, under the direction
of the Earl of Ross, a new passage was dug to divert the waters of the Lade before they reached Perth.
The defenders were dismayed to find the water level in the moat dropping alarmingly, so much so that
the Scots could fill up the channel with brushwood.
July 7th was fixed as the day for the final assault but before the horns could sound for action an
eclipse of the sun started. There was consternation both within and without the town of Perth. An
eclipse was thought to portend some great disaster though to whom was not altogether clear. It was
decided to postpone the assault for another day, but Sir Thomas Ughtred had by this time already
decided that further resistance was useless. He capitulated to the Scottish forces and was permitted to
march out from the city with all the honours of war. He and his men were then conveyed back to
England in the English ships lying in the Tay. In accordance with the old system the fortifications of
Perth were once more razed to the ground.
This was now almost the end of the English occupation; the castles of Stirling and Edinburgh were soon
captured and in 1341 David and his Queen returned to Scotland from their exile in France.

synopsis:‘the go-betweens’ installation enhanced a screening of the 2014 film Layover celebrating the arrival of Portland’s annual migratory Vaux’s Swift population. The go-betweens hovered a month in the arched windows of the Art Gym at Marylhurst University, held the edges between inside and out. Visitors lounged on pillows and hammocks to the sounds of Sam Coomes’ original score and vinyl feathers interposed spring sunlight.
credits:The birds were made collaboratively by Vanessa Renwick, Jim DeStaebler, Alex Luboff, Dwayne Hedstrom, and George Wilson. They were meticulously cut out by the aforementioned individuals, as well as Eden Reinstein, Erin Brand, Sid Cooper, Moe Bowstern, Tiago DeJerk, Lucy Rockwell, Libby Werbel, James Allen, Natalie Barela, and Eric Edwards.
review:"Renwick also brought in hammocks and pillows for viewers to relax while watching a video about the Vaux's Swifts at Chapman Elementary School. Shot by Eric Edwards, the video shows thousands of swifts flying in a swirling vortex, accompanied by sitar-like drones in Sam Coomes' musical score. As the birds dive into the chimney to roost for the night, the music gathers rock 'n roll heft. The effect is mesmerizing." David Stabler, The Oregonian April 16, 2014

0:01 A key design feature for working with classes and object-oriented programming
0:04 is modeling and layers, going from the most general to the most specific.
0:09 So, we started with a creature class,
0:12 and a creature class has a name and a level and it's just a generic creature,
0:16 it could be anything, so it could be a squirrel as we saw,
0:20 it could be a dragon, it could be a toad.
0:23 Any kind of creature we can think of, we could model with the original creature class,
0:26 and that's great because it's very applicable but there are differences
0:30 between a dragon and a toad, for example,
0:33 maybe the dragon breathes fire, not too many toads breed fire,
0:36 and so we can use inheritance to add additional specializations to our more specific types,
0:43 so we can have a specific dragon class, which can stand in for a creature,
0:47 it is a creature but it also has more behaviors and more variables.
0:51 Here we have our initializer, the __init__
0:54 and you see we take the required parameters
0:57 and data to pass along to the creature class,
1:00 in order to create a creature, in order for the dragon to be a creature,
1:03 it has to supply a name and a level,
1:05 so we can get to the creature's initializer saying super().__init__
1:09 and pass name and level and that allows the creature to do
1:12 whatever sort of setup it does when it gets created,
1:14 but we also want to have a scale thickness for our dragon,
1:17 so we create another field specific only to dragons,
1:20 and we say self.scale_thickness = whatever they passed in.
1:23 So in addition to having name and level we get from Creature,
1:26 we also have a scale thickness,
1:28 so that adds more data we can also add additional behaviors,
1:30 here we have added a breed_fire method.
1:33 So the way we create a derived type in Python,
1:36 is we just say class, because it is a class, the name of the class, Dragon,
1:40 and in parenthesis the name of the base type.
1:44 And then, other than that, and using "super",
1:46 this is basically the same as creating any other class.

278 S.E.2d 574 (1981)
STATE of North Carolina
v.
George TURMAN.
No. 8112SC33.
Court of Appeals of North Carolina.
June 2, 1981.
Atty. Gen. Rufus L. Edmisten by Associate Atty. Gen. Lucien Capone, III, Raleigh, for the State.
Asst. Public Defender, Twelfth Judicial District, John G. Britt, Jr., Fayetteville, for defendant-appellant.
HARRY C. MARTIN, Judge.
Defendant was convicted of violating N.C.G.S. 14-202.1, and now attacks the constitutionality of this statute. He contends the statute is unconstitutional in that (a) it *575 is a denial of due process because of vagueness, (b) it is a denial of equal protection because of age classification in the statute, and (c) it is an overbroad restriction on protected activity. Defendant does not cite any authority in support of his contentions.
It is clear that the challenged statute is constitutional. Our Supreme Court has passed upon these identical arguments in State v. Elam, 302 N.C. 157, 273 S.E.2d 661 (filed 27 January 1981). Further elaboration on these points in this opinion would serve no useful purpose. The law as stated in Elam controls this appeal, and the assignments of error directed to the constitutionality of the statute are overruled.
Defendant contends the court erred in its charge by instructing the jury that masturbation in the presence of another would be an immoral or indecent act within the meaning of the statute. Defendant argues that because the statute uses the words "with any child," there must be some touching of the child to constitute an indecent liberty under the statute. We reject the argument and hold that it is not necessary that there be a touching of the child by the defendant in order to constitute an indecent liberty within the meaning of N.C. G.S. 14-202.1. See State v. Turgeon, 44 N.C.App. 547, 261 S.E.2d 501, disc. rev. denied, 299 N.C. 740, 267 S.E.2d 669 (1980). The purpose of the statute is to give broader protection to children than the prior laws provided. State v. Harward, 264 N.C. 746, 142 S.E.2d 691 (1965). The word "with" is not limited to mean only a physical touching. See Webster's Third New International Dictionary 2626 (1971). We find no prejudicial error in the challenged instruction.
Accordingly, we hold that the acts allegedly performed by defendant were "immoral, improper, or indecent liberties" within the meaning of the statute. Therefore, we overrule defendant's last assignment of error, in which he contends the trial court erred in denying his motions to dismiss for insufficiency of the state's evidence.
No error.
HEDRICK and WELLS, JJ., concur.

HUNT EDA RECORD CLEANING BRUSH
The fibers are in two rows with a static grounding pad centered between. The grounding pad supports the tiny carbon fibers and keeps them erect so they can dig down deep into the groove and extract trapped dust. Look at a record; it contains microscopic undulations inside the groove wall smaller than a human hair that the naked eye cannot see. This is how music is stored on an lp. And this is why fat pads will not do.A fat pad can’t get down into the groove. It simply brushes over the top and removes the surface dust. The real culprit is the dust that’s trapped deep in the record groove. The only way to remove this dust is with the hunt eda.

Amnesty International Calls on Pakistani Army to Stop Harassment of Mehsud Tribe
For Immediate Release
Amnesty International Calls on Pakistani Army to Stop Harassment of Mehsud Tribe
WASHINGTON - The
Pakistani military must stop its harassment of civilians from the Mehsud
tribe as they flee the government's latest offensive against the Pakistani
Taliban in the northwest of the country, Amnesty International said today.
The Pakistani military refused to allow Mehsud members to use major roads
in fleeing the conflict zone, witnesses told Amnesty International. Some
of the tribe members are involved in the senior leadership of the Pakistani
Taliban.
"Mehsud tribes-people, including women and children, are being punished
on the roads as they flee simply because they belong to the wrong tribe,"
said Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific director. "This
could amount to collective punishment, which is absolutely prohibited under
international law."
One Mehsud man outside the town of Tank told Amnesty International that
he had left his home with his family after the army bombed his town last
week.
His family was part of a group of five families, constituting about 20
men, 15 children and 17 women with their luggage, who were travelling on
donkeys. They were trying to get to their relatives in Tank but were afraid
of the army because of the restrictions imposed on Mehsud tribes-people
using the road.
The man told Amnesty International:
"We are not allowed to use the roads, the army does not allow any Mehsud
to come to the road and use it...When we left our homes we took some food
which we used the first two days and after that we had nothing at all and
what ever was left we gave to the children, we only drank some tea and
water. We had to spend the nights under the open sky. As we were not allowed
to use the road we had to walk in the mountains...we lost our way twice."
"When we reached Murtuza area we hired a pickup and wanted to go by road
as the women and kids were very tired and it was very difficult for them
to walk any more, but when we reached near Korr there was an army check
post where we were stopped by the army soldiers. They asked us why we were
on the road, and said that Mehsuds are not allowed on the road. They made
us walk back and away from the road, they also abused the driver, who was
not a Mehsud but was from the Marwat tribe. He was first beaten by the
soldiers and then they told him not to drive anyone from Mehsud tribe."
"The Pakistani government must immediately investigate this targeting
of members of the Mehsud tribe by the army and put an end to it," said
Zarifi. "The group has already suffered years of fear and oppression under
Taliban control in their region - the government should help to find a
path for them to safety and a solution to their problems - not exacerbate
them."
Amnesty International recognizes the real threat posed by insurgents and
the Pakistan government's need to ensure the security of all Pakistani
citizens. But restrictions on movement should be only imposed if absolutely
necessary, related to a specific security threat, and non-discriminatory
and proportionate in terms of their impact and their duration.
Notes to editors:
South Waziristan is the largest of the seven agencies within the Federally
Administered Tribal Areas, with an estimated population of 450,000, most
of whom belong to either the Mehsud or Wazir tribes. The population of
the Mehsud tribe is thought to be around 300,000.
International human rights and humanitarian law prohibit collective punishment.
The prohibition on collective punishments is broadly understood to apply
to official sanctions and harassment of any sort against persons for actions
for which they do not bear individual criminal responsibility.
On June 14, 2009, the South Waziristan political agent issued a general
order to arrest people belonging to the Mehsud tribe in any part of Pakistan
and to confiscate their property. He cited the Frontier Crimes Regulations,
an archaic legal regime governing FATA, to target the Mehsuds.
The political agent is the head of the tribal agency that represents the
President of Pakistan and the governor in NWFP.
The order has been challenged by two residents of Tank, Mohammad Nawaz
and Tawkal Din, in the High Court of Peshawar, who have been detained under
section 21 of the Frontier Crimes Regulation.
The order has been contested on the grounds that the political agent has
no jurisdiction outside of South Waziristan and that it's unjustifiable
to arrest any member of the Mehsud tribe in any place in Pakistan without
sound legal grounds.
Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning
grassroots activist organization with more than 2.2 million supporters,
activists and volunteers in more than 150 countries campaigning for human
rights worldwide. The organization investigates and exposes abuses, educates
and mobilizes the public, and works to protect people wherever justice,
freedom, truth and dignity are denied.
###
We are people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights. Our purpose is to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. We investigate and expose abuses, educate and mobilize the public, and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world.
Further
Chanting "Kill the Bill, Not Us," over a hundred activists, many in wheelchairs, halted the only hearing on the Graham-Cassidy anti-health-care bill and were met with a response only the current cretins in power could conjure up: They were removed and arrested by police, Chairman Orrin Hatch told them to "shut up," and Bill Cassidy literally yawned through the turmoil. Democrat Ron Wyden called the spectacle "an abomination,” which aptly sums up the state of the Republic.

Book Review: Better Than Before
I’ve discovered something BIG. Big, I tells ya. I know what the key to success is!
Can you guess?
Luck?
No. But it sure helps.
Money?
No. But again, it sure helps.
Good looks?
No, once again. And once again, it sure helps.
The key to success is…
Habits!
That’s right, HABITS. Those little actions, big or small, that you do every day.
Thing is, there’s not some magical set of habits that will work for everyone. I used to think there was. Now, I truly believe that every person can find their own set of habits that work right for them and their own personal preferences and quirks.
Gretchen helped me figure out the answer to so many questions about habits, including the following:
• Why do I find it tough to create a habit for something I love to do?
• Sometimes I can change a habit overnight, and sometimes I can’t change a habit, no matter how hard I try. Why?
• How quickly can I change a habit?
• What can I do to make sure I stick to a new habit?
• Why can I keep habits that benefit others, but can’t make habits that are just for me?
As someone that’s always looking for the “right” set of habits that will make me a more productive, creative, and happier writer, this book was crucial to my development and growth. After reading it, I now think it’s a must-read book for writers and creatives. It’s an awesome resource for understanding yourself and your many habits better so that you can consciously create a happier life that fits YOU.
Hope you’ll check it out and post what you think of it in the comments below!

It is pointless to give us just your butt measurements. My butt grows too if I put on weight but my proportions are the same. You want your butt to look big for your proportions. If it's huge amd tour waist it is just as huge you are just fat, right?

Country Country Club workers plan picket after step towards victory
By Guest
Created 08/21/2012 - 2:54pm
Castlewood workers protest on the one-year anniversary of the lockout
PHOTO BY BROOKE ROBERTSON
Workers at Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton, represented by UNITE HERE Local 2850, received a favorable decision from Administrative Law Judge Clifford Anderson of the National Labor Relations Board on Monday. He found that the club owes all 61 union workers two years of back pay-- and their jobs back.
"For the workers it feels like a relief to be believed in some way," said Local 2850 organizer Sarah Norr. "The workers have been saying for two years that Castlewood was not really trying to reach a compromise."
The food service workers and janitors of Local 2850 at Castlewood haven’t worked in two years. Instead, they picket the club and march. But they’re not on strike-- they would love to go back to work. They’re on lockout.
In Feb. 2010, the club tried to hike up their health care costs, significantly increase the hours per week that would be considered full-time, and cut pay. After heated negotiations, the club refused to allow workers to return to their jobs and hired non-union replacements.
Negotiations have continued since, but according to Norr, they haven't been productive. In Aug. 2010 the management presented a new set of proposals, which Norr called worst than the first. It would have allowed for the club to keep on the temporary workers that had replaced the union workers during the lockout and do away with seniority in scheduling and layoffs, as well as allowed for increased subcontracting. That was when the union filed a complaint with the NLRB.
In Aug. 2011, the General Counsel of the NLRB issued a decision that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute Castlewood for violating federal labor law. After hearing nine days of testimony for various stakeholders on both sides, Judge Anderson ruled that the alleged violations had occured.
He found that the lockout was illegal, and recommended that the NLRB order Castlewood to reinstate the locked-out workers and pay them two years of back wages and benefits.
Jerry Olson, Castlewood Country Club’s general manager, told us that the club hasn’t decided yet if they will be complying with the judge’s order.
“We just received the ruling today in the mail, and we’re considering all our options,” Olson said Aug. 21. “We certainly respect the administrative law judge.”
“We were surprised,” said Olson. “We expected to win the case.”
"It’s important for folks to understand that this doesn’t guarantee that its all over," Norr said. "Castlewood does have the option of asking for a review of the case from the NLRB in Washington, DC." Such a review could take years, prolonging the lockout but also increasing the amount of back pay the club would need to pay if they lose.
Workers plan to picket the club Aug. 22 at 5pm, celebrating their victory and demanding that the club comply.
“We’re thrilled about the decision, but we know we could still have a long fight in front of us,” said Castlewood janitor Francisca Carranza in a press release. “We’ll be here for as long as it takes to get our jobs back and win a fair contract with health care for our kids. We know people in the community will stand behind us, just like they always have over the past two years.”

Centuria announces major new unlisted property investment
Investors given opportunity to invest in iconic commercial asset on Sydney’s North Shore
Sydney, 20 May 2016
Centuria Property Funds Limited (Centuria) today announced that contracts have been exchanged on the Zenith, an institutional grade office asset located at 821 Pacific Highway, Chatswood. A new Centuria unlisted property fund, the Centuria Zenith Fund, will co-invest with global investment firm, BlackRock to acquire the property. The purchase price is $279.1 million. The purchase remains subject to FIRB approval, with settlement expected to occur in late July.
Commenting on the Fund, CEO – Unlisted Property Funds, Jason Huljich, said he was confident the Fund would provide attractive returns to investors due to the strong fundamentals of the location and the property itself.
“Sydney’s North Shore office market is already performing strongly, and we expect that it will continue to experience falling vacancies and strong rental growth over the next few years. The withdrawal of commercial office space in the CBD and North Shore due to residential conversion and the construction of the Metro will drive above trend rental growth and mean excellent total returns for our investor clients.
“Chatswood is a dynamic office, retail and residential area and is the North Shore’s major rail and bus hub. The new Sydney Metro rail infrastructure will further improve connectivity,” he said.
The Zenith is a landmark office asset with a diversified tenant mix. Approximately 40% of its rental income is underpinned by government tenants, and it is currently 94% occupied. It has around 44,000sqm of net lettable area with 800 car spaces and occupies a large 8,000 sqm site.
Mr Huljich said that he was pleased to be able to offer such an iconic asset to the market via an unlisted fund.
“In the current low interest rate environment, there’s no question that investors are becoming increasingly yield-driven. Distribution yields from the Zenith Fund are forecast to be 7.6% in the 2017 financial year, growing to 7.7% in the 2018 financial year. These are very attractive rates for such a high quality asset,” Mr Huljich said.
In conclusion, Mr Huljich said that the choice of The Zenith is in line with Centuria’s investment strategy, which has been primarily focused on Sydney over the past 5 years.
“We are asset-driven in our investment strategy, which means we will consider all properties, even those in weaker markets, if we can see the potential for strong returns over time. But it’s fair to say that our pick at the moment is Sydney. “Our partner, BlackRock, clearly shares our confidence when it comes to The Zenith, and we anticipate that we will experience the same strong investor demand for this fund as we have done for our previous unlisted investment funds,” Mr Huljich said.

Police in rural areas like Devon and Cornwall could soon be allowed to routinely carry guns
Around 90% of police officers in the UK are unarmed. That is a tradition in British policing that is a source of much pride; yet it could be soon to change. Under plans being considered by the National Police Chiefs’ Council, police in rural areas like Devon and Cornwall could soon be allowed to routinely carry guns.
The potential decision comes amid a heightened terror threat and a drive to recruit more counter-terror firearms officers that fell short by about 100.
Police chiefs apparently fear that any armed response for a terror attack taking place out in the sticks would be too slow, with Armed Response Vehicles (ARVs) being unable to reach the area in the same time as they would a major city like London.
The decision is for the particular Chief Constable of each of the 43 local forces across England and Wales. In particular, the police forces of Devon, Cornwall and Dorset are considering the move. This is in spite of the fact that there is no specific terror threat, either currently or in the past, against these areas.
The potential arming of rural police forces in the UK is a step that mirrors, albeit far more moderately, the militarisation of police forces across the planet. Particularly in the US, where police militarisation has essentially taken steroids and it’s not uncommon to see police forces in small towns armed to the teeth with surplus military equipment.
Terror in Truro, bloodshed in Sherborne or ISIS executions in Exeter seem, at best, highly unlikely.
With that in mind, it appears that the idea to arm rural police may throw the principle of policing by consent into doubt. That is, that police should not achieve order through oppressive military might; that they are a function of, and work as part of, the community. Should we begin to see police armed with pocket rockets, a shift in the relationship with law enforcement in this country may be threatened.
Notwithstanding that the police will be highly trained, and notwithstanding the trust we have in our police forces as being almost entirely comprised by considered, intelligent and dutiful individuals; mistakes do happen.
Without a gun, there is a no temptation for a police officer to use a gun. With a gun in the holster, however, the temptation is created. Suddenly, what may be altercations in the daily life of a policeman that may, certainly, pose some danger but for which the police officer must exercise restraint and call on their best skills in de-escalation, become potentially fatal exchanges.
Professional policing was invented in this country in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel (hence their moniker, Bobbies!). It is a proud tradition. Yet, with the potential militarisation of our police, it is one that threatens to be undermined.
Having police officers openly carrying guns on the streets of small towns and villages in the UK will change our perspective of them, and could easily change the relationship between citizens and police officers from one of respect, to one of fear.

Q:
Do people respond more to $ off promos or % off promos?
In the past we've typically used promotional codes on our site in either banners or other advertisement placed images. And I was wondering if anyone has any information on performance of banners with using Dollar amounts off or Percentage amounts.
For example...
Save $10 off orders of $100 or more
As opposed to
Save 10% off your next order*
A disclaimer at the bottom of the page would then state:
*10% discount applies to first $100 in your order
I see a few companies in our competition using the 10% with a disclaimer at the bottom and my personal feeling is that it's misleading, but I do believe that with the use of 10% more people are going to click on it and order.
A:
There's a lot of marketing chatter on this topic but there is one main thing to consider; which sounds like the more attractive deal in your * specific case*?
There's an interesting Donut Hole graph from Dealicacy Showing how both can offer better value to the consumer:
The relative (%) benefit remains constant, while the absolute benefit ($ off) has a complex curve. Logically with the relative benefit it's easy to tell how much of a benefit you're getting; it's always the same, it just scales to what you buy. But with the absolute benefit you always know what you're getting. Never underestimate the power of less thinking.
A marketing study conducted by Evo A/B tested relative vs absolute benefits and found the following results:
$50-Off Coupon generated 170% more revenue than the 15%-Off Coupon.
$50-Off Coupon had 72% higher conversion rate.
I think the issue here is twofold; as mentioned, it's easy to understand how much I'm saving if you say I save $50: I save $50. Additionally, 15% really doesn't sound like much.
Consider the following bargains, both yielding equal savings on a certain product: 75% off or $5 off. Clearly the value of the relative benefit seems higher. Roughly speaking, a benefit of 40% or more starts to sound pretty significant. A dollar amount of $50 or more sounds significant.
If one value clearly appears to be a better value, it's probably best to offer that option as long as it's not misleading (like the terrible, lying asterisk in your question). Otherwise it would probably be best to A/B test your specific case if there's no clear winner.
A:
Behavioral economics looks at this type of question, and would be a good area for you to investigate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discounting talks about how people perceive discounts. My immediate thought for your specific issue is that people will minimise cognitive load - a % discount requires them to think a bit more than a $ discount, so the greater response is likely to be from a $ discount.
A:
I work in the financial industry and during tax season, this always comes up. Which do we offer:
20% off, or
$25 off tax prep?
Typically our software will calculate the most advantagous and offer that price to the client. With verbal confirmation that they are receiving the best "deal", clients always seem satisfied.
Of course tax preparation can get pricey, so the % off generally wins. But this assurs the client of the most savings either way, without having to calculate each discount on their own for the better deal.

Open Source software, once the scorn of Microsoft and profit-seeking software developers, is playing an active role in efforts to combat COVID-19's spread. Several open source projects are assisting health providers and helping people mitigate some of the hardships associated with the pandemic. Often, open source accomplishments in the public health and government services fields go unreported.
COVID-19 researchers have a new source of distributed computing power: crowdsourcing. Usually crowdsourcing involves information or opinion gathering, but in this case it involves computing power. By installing the Folding@home software program, anyone with a computer, gaming console, or even some phones and compute cycles to spare can contribute to the work of coronavirus researchers.
Project Baseline, a new website to facilitate screening and testing of people potentially infected with the COVID-19 virus, became available on Sunday. Verily, a company owned by Google parent Alphabet, launched the site. Assistance currently is limited to residents in two counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. Verily also is working with authorities to establish testing sites.
We are up to our armpits in COVID-19, also known as "coronavirus," concerns. While the technology market could be devastated by it, there are several things tech players could do to mitigate the damage. Aside from having people work from home and stand six feet apart, the industry could take several innovative steps to mitigate the first manageable pandemic in the world's history.
Someday a future Monty Python comedy troupe will reprise the plague scene from the Holy Grail in which a character pushes a cart through a street shouting "Bring out your dead!" only to discover one who isn't dead yet. What will be funny about our era? Perhaps it will have something to do with overreacting to the situation by reordering society, as some have suggested.
Several conferences I was scheduled to attend have been canceled in the past week. All of the sponsors cited an abundance of caution in the face of the unknown consequences of coronavirus transmission and outright COVID-19 pneumonia. That's all to the good, but we need to get business done even in the face of the virus, because business has to propel itself forward or individual companies wither.
We apparently have no immunity to COVID-19, and a vaccine likely is around 18 months away. It takes a while to change human behavior, but if we go a full 18 months or more with people working from home and avoiding places like malls, big box stores, and other areas where people congregate -- like offices and events -- it will force a fundamental, permanent change in the way we work and interact.
The coronavirus scare is working its way through the economy -- even affecting CRM. At this point some vendors are canceling events rather than taking the risk of having thousands of customers, press and analysts descend on a city, swap microbes through the air for a few days, then go home and likely further spread the microbes, some of which could be the virus.
Foxconn, a key parts supplier for Apple, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony, said its plants on mainland China will resume normal production by the end of March. Numerous factories across China were forced to shut down in late January due to the coronavirus. The impact of the outbreak could hit global supply chains for all products in mid-March, The Harvard Business Review predicted.
The coronavirus presents the biggest threat to the global economy since the Great Recession of 2008 -- not to mention the threat to human life. The outbreak already is decimating the travel and leisure industry, and forcing trade shows to scale down or cancel. It threatens many sectors, and it will have a negative impact on consumer sentiment and purchasing patterns.
The coronavirus known as "COVID-19" is posing global threats that are challenging businesses worldwide, forcing them to put new policies and practices into place to prepare for and communicate with their workforces. One of the most critically impacted sectors is the technology industry. The virus has disrupted global businesses, forcing many tech company workers to cease travel to infected areas.
IBM's latest effort to solve global problems has evolved from a focus on catastrophic events, which increasingly are caused by climate change, to climate change itself. It is a huge jump to go from dealing with the symptoms of a problem, which generally is relatively easy, to dealing with the causes, particularly global scale. However, it is critical for a sustained impact.
Facebook is clamping down on ads and misinformation relating to coronavirus. Criticism of social media platforms for spreading fear and confusion about coronavirus is rife. Still, Facebook's decision-making has raised a few eyebrows, as the coronavirus ad restrictions could be interpreted as limiting free speech in a way that is inconsistent with Facebook's general practices.
Two things are happening simultaneously: The RSA Security Conference is in full swing and so is COVID-19. It's a strange juxtaposition. There is geographic proximity in that the conference is going on undeterred just a few blocks from where the mayor declared a state of emergency, during the event, due to the ongoing spread of the virus. There's also topical alignment.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has announced a commitment of $10 billion of his personal money to the newly launched Bezos Earth Fund to fight climate change. "Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet," Bezos wrote. "This global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs -- any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world."
The hands on the iconic "Doomsday Clock" moved to just 100 seconds to midnight last month. That is the closest they have come to the final hour since its creation in 1947. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Science and Security Board, in consultation with the Bulletin's Board of Sponsors, made the unprecedented decision to express the time remaining in seconds rather than minutes.
As I write this, the first studies of the Coronavirus outbreak are coming in. The count now exceeds 17,500 cases in 24 countries. There have been more than 360 deaths, almost all in China. Most at risk are older males with pre-existing chronic diseases that weaken their immune symptoms. Women appear to have a higher natural resistance to viruses. WHO has declared it a global health emergency.
WHO has declared the coronavirus a global health emergency in recognition that the disease risk no longer is confined to China. UN member countries may decide to close their borders, cancel flights, implement special screenings at airports, or take other steps in response to the notice. U.S. health officials earlier this week announced they would fast-track work on a coronavirus vaccine.
We asked ECT News Network's roundtable of industry insiders to reflect on their own personal tech preferences, to speculate on what popular gadgets may vanish from use in the next decade, to consider the role of wearable health tools -- and then to expand the discussion to the health of the planet, tech advances in traveling on it, and the prospect of leaving it altogether.
When it comes to any merger, you often can't trust the reason the firms are merging, particularly if financial rather than operational managers are driving the process. When it comes to hostile takeovers, you can bet you are being misled, because the rhetoric will address synergy, but the folks driving the effort know the more likely goal is to destroy the acquired company.
We agree to suspend our disbelief, and they agree to entertain us. Perhaps it inspires us by communicating some kernel of wisdom about human nature. Its story may touch our emotions deeply, but we know it's the product of imagination and artistry. Cosmos: Possible Worlds delivers everything a great science fiction movie delivers, except the fiction.
Every year I look forward to CES being over. That's not because it isn't interesting -- it is. It's because the place is a nightmare to get around, thanks to some incredibly stupid decisions that turn Las Vegas into a gridlocked mess. Coming right after the holidays, it destroys more family vacations than any other event short of a long driving trip with very young children.
Sometimes when you tug on the thread of a small customer service failure, you unravel a big skein of much knottier problems. That happened when Shield Healthcare didn't send "Great Aunt Nelly" her shipment of medical supplies on time. There are many people like Nelly in the U.S. -- elderly and disabled folks who depend in part or entirely on government assistance to get by.
We've recently seen much breathless news coverage of the Nightingale Project, Google's half-secret partnership with Ascension, the second-largest healthcare system in the U.S. The details of the project -- which involves sharing the healthcare data of tens of millions of unsuspecting patients -- have raised significant concerns. The concerns have centered around issues that by now are familiar.
Researchers at a Swedish university have unveiled a method for mixing genetically encoded digital data into common manufacturing materials. The project, carried out in collaboration with an Israeli scientist, involved embedding artificial DNA in a small plastic 3D-printed plastic bunny, which would allow self-replication, according to a report published in Nature Biotechnology.
The U.S. healthcare industry is in the midst of transformation, including an overhaul of its information infrastructure from physical to digital, and the rise of informed and increasingly empowered consumers. Managing consumers' healthcare experience is no longer a selling point, but a must-deliver component of technology vendors' solutions. Adoption of connected health devices is on the rise.
Apple is getting into the medical research field with its recent announcement of three studies to be conducted through its Research app. Apple Watch and iPhone users in the United States can use the app to enroll in the Apple Women's Health Study, the Apple Heart & Movement Study, and the Apple Hearing Study. Participants can use their Apple devices to contribute data to the studies.
A venture between Google and Ascension, one of the largest healthcare providers in the United States, will give the tech giant access to the sensitive medical information of as many as 50 million patients in 21 states. Its venture with Google, called "The Nightingale Project," would enable it to improve the experience of patients, consumers, providers and associates, Ascension said.
UPS has announced the first two revenue-generating residential deliveries of prescribed medicines to consumers. Its drone delivered the prescription medications from a CVS pharmacy in Cary, North Carolina, to a consumer's home, and to a customer in a retirement community. The drone flew autonomously but was monitored by a remote operator who could intervene if needed.
Google has inked a deal to buy wearable fitness device maker Fitbit for $2.1 billion. The acquisition will give Google an immediate leading position in the wearables market, able to compete against the likes of Apple and Samsung rather than having to build up market share from scratch. Fitbit's products are carried in approximately 39,000 retail stores in more than 100 countries around the world.

FORT PAYNE, Ala. — Nine years ago, when she was 27 and unhappily selling real estate, Gina Locklear went to her parents with a proposition. She wanted to make socks. Not the basic white socks the family had specialized in, but fashionable socks, with organic cotton and dyes.
“I want to get into the sock business,” she told them. “I want to make a sustainable sock.”
Ms. Locklear, now 36, grew up in the business. Her parents, Terry and Regina Locklear, started a mill in Fort Payne, Ala., in 1991. They made white sport socks for Russell Athletic, millions of them, destined for big-box stores and your own feet if you took gym class.
Gina’s younger sister, Emily, recalled the girls going to the mill after school, where they helped their parents sort socks into dozens or played in the bins. Named after the two daughters, Emi-G Knitting bought the Locklears a house, bought Terry a vintage Corvette and paid for the girls’ college educations.
Still, the idea of Gina and her parents making organic fashion socks, or any socks at all, seemed totally crazy, given the time and place.
The mid-2000s was a devastating period for Fort Payne. Nestled in the state’s mountainous northeast, the town of 14,000 had for decades billed itself as “the Sock Capital of the World.” The cushioned sock was invented here, and one in every eight pairs of socks sold globally was said to be knitted in Fort Payne.
A Photo of WB Davies Hosiery Mill, 1933
At the industry’s peak in the 1990s, more than 120 mills employed roughly 7,500 workers. But cheap foreign labor and free-trade agreements made the town a loser in the game of global economics. Seemingly overnight, the mills closed, and the new Fort Payne became a town in China called Datang. The 2008 financial crisis finished off those who were still hanging on.
“It was like a vacuum cleaner pulled all the people out of town,” Terry said.
The Locklears held on to their mill, but barely. Orders dried up, including those from Russell Athletic, and they cut the work force to almost nothing. Terry’s goal was to keep the lights on, because he knew if he and Regina closed the doors and turned the power off, they’d never start back up.
“We’d just come here and sit,” Terry said. “We would talk, and it was, like, ‘I just don’t know what we’re going to do.’ We still had our knowledge.”
It was during these depths that Gina approached her parents with her idea. While almost everyone else in the sock business was being thrown to the exits, she passionately wanted in. “I was 12 when my parents started making socks,” Gina said. “And the realization that our family business might close made me mad.”
Her parents were skeptical. They knew how hard it was to compete and how much money it would take to start a brand. They didn’t get the whole organic thing. Most of all, they didn’t want their oldest daughter to do something she’d soon regret or tire of.
“But it’s been everything except any of that,” her father said.
Her mother added: “She absolutely loves what she does. She’s on fire.”
When you hear the words textile mill, you may picture a brick building a century old and as big as a city block. You may hear the clack-clack of jittery machinery. But Emi-G Knitting is a modern contained operation in a squat metal building on the outskirts of Fort Payne.
One recent morning, Gina was in her office, working on spring orders. She produces two lines: Zkano, an online brand she started in 2008, and Little River Sock Mill, which was started in 2013 and is sold in stores like Margaret O’Leary in Manhattan.
Zkano’s “crews” and “no shows” are a youthful riot of stripes and colors, while the Little River socks are more refined (the fall line was based on Southern quilt patterns). Both cost $13 to $30 a pair.
A “Mood Board” of socks, patterns and colors hangs in Gina Locklear’s office at Emi-G Knitting
Going organic (the cotton comes from a farm in Lubbock, Tex., the dyes from North Carolina) has given Gina a marketing niche. Her socks appeal to millennials, who study labels and like a compelling origin story.
“I’m not sure most customers can detect it, but it’s certainly a bonus that they’re made from organic cotton — it adds a point of difference,” said Billy Reid, the Alabama-based men’s wear designer, who partnered with Gina to make socks based on his designs.
Last fall, Martha Stewart and the editors of Martha Stewart Living presented Gina with an American Made award, which they give each year to a few artisans and small-business owners to provide a boost of recognition.
“Encouraging the American public to buy American-made matters,” Ms. Stewart said. “The more socks she sells, the more people she can employ.”

Besides, “It’s a sensible business,” Ms. Stewart said. “Everyone needs socks. Women are wearing socks as a fashion statement like never before. Turn the pages of Vogue and almost every fancy dress is worn with a pair of socks.”
Indeed, the humble sock is having a moment. Brands like Stance Socks, which partnered with Rihanna on a collection, and Slate & Stone are selling vibrant hosiery, or pop socks, while Miu Miu recently outfitted runway models in marled and argyle socks.
Gina plans to introduce men’s socks to Little River this fall. Zkano already offers them. Tony Hale’s character on “Veep” wears Zkano socks, as does the actor himself.
Gina notices socks everywhere she goes, and in winter wears two pairs, one during daytime, another to bed. Her office décor is entirely hosiery-related: spools of candy-colored yarn on a shelf, mateless samples pinned to corkboards.
She lives with her husband, Al Vreeland, in Birmingham, Ala., an hour and a half’s drive away, and spends part of each week in Fort Payne, staying in her childhood bedroom. Her husband, a lawyer, is “cool” with the arrangement, she said, adding, “It’s been this way ever since we started dating.”
They were married three years ago, during the busy holiday season, at a chapel in Santa Fe, N.M., on a Saturday. “We came home on Sunday,” she said. “And then I went to Fort Payne on Monday. And that’s my life.”Ms. Locklear looks on as Rhonda Whitmire inspects socks. If there is a customer service issue, Ms. Locklear handles it herself — in addition to ordering yarn, designing both lines, doing social media marketing, processing credit card orders and lying awake nights with worry.
When she’s at the mill, her focus is on the knitting machines and whether they are aiding or conspiring against her. The machines are aqua blue and boxy like ovens. Above them, a halo of metalwork holds the yarn being fed into their bellies. Gina watched a machine work, and after a moment, in a Willy Wonka flourish, a plastic tube spit out an orange-striped sock.
“I love that,” she said.
Pointing to a machine that was noticeably different from the others, she said: “It’s the newest sock machine you can get. It’s made in Italy. It’s like a Ferrari.”
She spotted Vance Veal, Emi-G’s plant manager, and waved him over. When her parents laid off all but their most vital workers, they kept him on the payroll. Mr. Veal, 48, has worked in sock mills since he was 18. His grandparents, mother and brothers worked in the mills, too.
Since Gina came along with her six-color fashion socks, he has made the machines do things no one at Emi-G thought possible, himself included. “We didn’t used to make pattern socks,” Mr. Veal said. “Gina keeps me on my toes. She’s made me better at what I do.”
In a honeyed voice, Gina said, “Vance is the most patient person ever.”
With Mr. Veal’s expertise, Gina can make socks in small batches on site, fine-tuning and experimenting with colors, patterns and materials. It’s a competitive advantage. But running a sock mill in the age of globalization is a “roller coaster,” she said. Her parents’ business making specialty athletic socks now comes in fits and bursts, nothing like the steady, profitable Russell contract. And Zkano and Little River don’t yet sell enough to sustain the mill alone.
Last year, Emi-G downsized its work force from 45 to 30. If there is a customer service issue, Gina handles it herself — in addition to ordering yarn, designing both lines, doing social media marketing, processing credit card orders and lying awake nights with worry.
“If something happened to Vance, I wouldn’t know what we would do,” she said later. “When the sock industry left, a lot of the workers left town, and their knowledge left, too.”

Gina and her parents drove into town to have lunch at what’s referred to in Fort Payne as the Big Mill. Now an antique store and restaurant, the Big Mill is indeed a century-old brick building as big as a city block. It’s where W. B. Davis ran the town’s first hosiery mill in the early-1900s. It’s the building that begot an industry.
Over pimento cheese sandwiches, Terry and Regina recalled their beginnings. Terry’s mother had worked in a mill, and his older brother owned one. When he was miserable selling cars down in Tuscaloosa, it seemed natural to come home and try socks.
Asked if the current building was their original location, Terry, who is 71 and has a bashful charm, said: “No. I’m almost ashamed to tell you. We started in a renovated chicken house.”
There was no air-conditioning. In the summer, they would open the big doors on both ends to get a little breeze going. “Birds would fly through while we worked,” Terry said.
With so few mills left in Fort Payne, Gina and her parents are now the old guard. But with the industry’s diminishment, they carry little of the economic or civic power of the mill owners before them.
Framed portraits of men like Mr. Davis and W. H. Cobble Sr. hang inside the Hosiery Museum, in a historic storefront downtown. The photo of V. I. Prewett, the founder of Prewett Mills, shows a gray-haired man holding a pair of tube socks.
Among the museum’s historic machinery is a brass whistle on a pole that was once used to signal the start of the workday at the Big Mill. In the morning darkness, said Olivia Cox, the vice president of landmarks for DeKalb County, Ala., the mountainside behind the factory appeared “lit by fireflies,” with the workers “walking down footpaths by lantern light to get to the Big Mill before that whistle blew.”

Everyone in Fort Payne was touched by the hosiery industry in some way. That night, Gina stopped for dinner at a barbecue place in town; the young man behind the counter had worked in a machine shop that repaired the type of knitters Emi-G uses. His name was Bo Doeg.
He and Gina got to reminiscing about Hosiery Week, a yearly festival that Mr. Doeg described as “Mardi Gras — but for socks.”
Mr. Doeg shook his head. “This is a different world than it used to be,” he said. “Have you seen the vast number of empty buildings?”
Gina was back at the mill by 8:30 the next morning, logging orders from store buyers and considering ideas for the next Little River line, which she develops with a designer in Birmingham. “We’re thinking about Appalachian florals,” she said.
She talked about the challenges she faces, from getting organic cotton at a good price to wanting a family but not knowing how, since she spends so much time at the mill. “I’ll just be honest, it’s been a struggle,” she said.
But she is determined to keep going, to make Fort Payne a place where socks are once again made by the millions.
“It’s hard every day but I still love it,” she said. “It’s what I want to do forever.”

From the ashes of the closed Russell Athletic sock mill, raised the Phoenix, in the form of Zkano socks. I love these types of stories – stories of coming back, the stories of small companies and not large multi-national corporations that churn out tons of clothing items per day. And Zkano socks are organic as well everything made in the USA.

For those of you who love “The Big Bang Theory”, there is a collection of science oriented socks made by Stem Socks. I found Stem Socks when I was visiting the San Jose Tech Museum ( I was visiting the Star Wars Exhibit) when I came across them in the tech store. I find them quite amusing. They have designs of: DNA; Radioactivity; Jellyfish; Bacterium; Floppy Disc; Biohazard; Morse Code; and Phases of the Moon.

Stem Socks (STEM is the abbreviations for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) are all made in the United States. And 2% of the sales are donated to a non-profit organization that encourages students to obtain knowledge in the sciences.

The logo for Stem Socks is made out of four amino acids: Serine, Threonine, Glutamine and Methionine – their one word abbreviation also spell out STEM.
Yesterday, I ran into a little shop in Carmel, (pronounced Kar – Mell’, not pronounced like in ‘carmel’ apples as they say in Carmel, Indiana), California. This shop, Sockshop Carmel and Wicks & Wax, sold candles on one side and socks on the other half of the shop. And in the sock portion, I found these golf socks by a company I had not heard of before, called On the Tee.
The 19th Hole Golf socks

On the Tee was started in 1993 and all of its products are made in the USA. Their biggest seller are golf socks.

On the Tee also sell women’s hats and visors. On the Tee is headquartered in Tarzania, California. They can be found at a few select stores and can also be purchased on the internet, see the link above.
Is there any been any better creation than socks? Is there anything warmer than thick, fuzzy, cozy socks? Is there anything more wonderful than getting a nice new pair of socks from under the Christmas tree? The answer to these questions is “Yes, of course, multiple things”. Well, then… how about the role socks have played in American history? Like George Washington’s socks? No, sorry, there is no story there, no sock has ever helped win a war. Hmm…dead end. How about some unusual facts about socks? Did you know that socks were originally sold as three in case one was lost or destroyed? No, of course you didn’t, because I just made it up. Well, then, how many times did Sherlock Holmes solve a case because of a sock? How many detective stories are there about socks like “The case of the Missing Sock”? I think the answer would be very close to zero.
How popular are socks? I mean almost everybody wears them, right? But, there was not one commercial about socks during the SuperBowl. (They should have shown this one: skittles tube sock commercial.) Have you seen any commercials that say “Have you bought your loved ones red socks for Valentines Day”? I guess maybe it is hard to get worked up about socks. I mean no preacher has ever demonized the existence of socks, maybe stockings, yes, and definitely underwear, whether you are wearing them or not. “You can be saved and avoid unending purgatory if you just rid your existence of them demon socks. They are the devil’s instruments that takes you into the land of forbidden pleasures.” No, it just doesn’t work. But I like the thought of evil socks making you walk into somewhere you wouldn’t go. ” I was just walking, minding my own business, when my evil socks made me walk into the strip club.” Lets face it, socks are the under-appreciated down-under cousin of everyday wear. So, this would be my slogan for socks: “Socks, they are what they are.”
History of Socks
No mind-numbingly boring account would be complete without the history of something. So, here is the history of socks. Now, first off, we are not talking about faux socks like some accounts give which are actually primitive shoes, or hose or wrappings. When I am talking about socks, I mean an article of clothing with an opening in one end and stitched up at the other end which somehow ends up resembling the foot. The sock gets its name from the Latin word “soccus” meaning loose fitting slipper. (It sounds like I am making that up but just check Wikipedia if you believe what it says). It is believed that socks may have been present with some of the ancient Greeks and Romans, but definitely present by 300 to 500 AD. Socks were used to keep the feet warm under the sandals and probably offered some padding as well. Not that much has changed in that respect. Socks are still for warmth, comfort, protection of the foot and shoe. Now, how about the fashion of socks? Socks first became a fashion statement in 15th Century Europe and coincided with the officially ending of “The Dark Ages”. That’s right, my hypothesis is that fashionable socks ended the Dark Ages. Pope Gregory XII liked socks so much that it created a schism in Rome, the other cardinals kicked him out and they didn’t have a Pope for two years and that’s how the Dark Ages ended. True or not, it is a good story. It’s as good of a story as the Bureau of Missing Socks. Fashion for socks have been a hit and miss proposition, they were big when Argyle socks came in, especially with golfers and their knickers, and again in the 1950s with the bobby socks. And possible a slight come back according to the NY Times link on top of the page.
As for me, I have been discouraged over the years of losing one sock, whether it gets stuck to the inside of clothes, gets sucked up through the washing machine, or lost in the transport to or from the laundry, that over the last 15 years, I have resorted to buying 6 to 8 identical pairs of socks at the same time (usually black crew socks and white crew socks) and then just replace the entire units every 6 months to a year or so. I do buy special socks at times, but really only for special occasions like costume parties or for a certain outfit. But basically it is either white or black crew socks. I really don’t like searching for socks.
Socks Made in America
For many years, the United States has been the world’s number one maker of socks. That was until the United States started outsourcing everything since the 1980’s, but especially the past two decades. The United States still makes quite a few socks, compared to something like underwear. In fact, in some clothing stores where everything they have is made by slave labor, one may still find socks made in the USA, places like J.Jill or J. Crew, Ann Taylor, or Jos. A. Bank. You can check out my blog entry,”Listing of American clothing brands-retail” for the listing of sock manufacturers made in the USA. (or I will just reprint them here, updated May 5, 2013):

669 So.2d 748 (1996)
Jerry J. RILEY
v.
JEFFERSON DAVIS COUNTY, Mississippi.
No. 92-CA-00848-SCT.
Supreme Court of Mississippi.
February 5, 1996.
*749 Donald C. Woods, Clinton, for appellant.
Donald G. Kruger, Prentiss, for appellee.
Before PRATHER, P.J., and PITTMAN and McRAE, JJ.
PITTMAN, Justice, for the Court:
This is an appeal from an order entered by the Circuit Court of Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi, on July 27, 1992. The circuit court upheld the Board of Supervisors of Jefferson Davis County, hereinafter "Board," ruling on the Appellant's Petition for Reduction and/or Change of Assessment as permitted by Miss. Code Ann. § 11-51-75 (1972).[1]
Jerry J. Riley filed a Petition for Reduction and/or Change of Assessment with the Board. On June 3, 1991, the Board met and considered Riley's Petition and notified him of their decision by Order dated June 3, 1991, and certified on June 24, 1991. Subsequently, Riley filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Board. The Board by Order dated August 5, 1991, and certified August 23, 1991, affirmed the Order of June 3, 1991. Riley appealed the Board's decision to the Circuit Court pursuant to Mississippi Code Annotated Section 11-51-75 (1972).
On September 3, 1991, Riley filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief against Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi. He then filed a Motion to Amend the Complaint on February 3, 1992. Jefferson Davis County filed the appropriate response and Riley timely replied to the response. Thereafter, the Circuit Court entered its Order Overruling Petition for Reduction and/or Change of Assessment on July 27, 1992. Aggrieved by the lower court's Order, Riley filed Notice of Appeal to this Court. The issue on appeal is:
WHETHER PURSUANT TO MISSISSIPPI CODE ANNOTATED SECTION 27-35-50(4), THE OWNER OF TWO UNDEVELOPED LOTS IS ENTITLED TO AN AGRICULTURAL CLASSIFICATION FOR AD VALOREM TAX PURPOSES WHEN THE LAND IS UNDISPUTABLY DEVOTED TO PRODUCTION OF TIMBER.
The circuit court's Order Overruling Petition for Reduction and/or Change of Assessment was in error and the case should be reversed and remanded for action consistent with this opinion.
In his complaint Riley alleged that he was the owner of certain real property located in Prentiss, Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi. More specifically, he owned two lots described as follows: Lots 2 & 3, Blk 1, Quinn Gardens S/D PB 1/27, Sec. 001-C7N-19W, Deed 86-229. Riley's property is assessed on the tax rolls of Jefferson Davis County as residential property. The said lots are used only for growing pine trees. At no time has Riley constructed a residence or any form of habitable structure on the land. Subsequent to a subdivision plat being recorded on July 20, 1962, they zoned the subdivision for residential use. However, Riley asserts that pursuant to Mississippi Code Annotated § 27-35-50(4) (1972) it is the use of the land and not the location which must be the determining factor in assessing the *750 land for tax purposes. The Board, on the other hand, claims that the location will control how the assessment will be ascertained. It is this dispute concerning the interpretation of Mississippi Code Annotated Section 27-35-50 (1972) and specifically subsection (4) that is today brought to this Court for a final determination.
Riley takes this appeal pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. § 11-51-75 (1972). This Court clearly stated the standard of review for such appeals in Thornton v. Wayne County Election Com., 272 So.2d 298 (Miss. 1973).
The circuit court reviews the record made before the board, of the testimony made or proffered, to determine whether or not the acts and orders of the board are reasonable and proper or arbitrary or capricious or beyond the power of the board to make or whether they violate any constitutional right of the complaining party.
Thornton, 272 So.2d at 301-02 (citations omitted).
The crux of this case is whether Riley's property may properly be assessed as agricultural for ad valorem tax purposes pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. § 27-35-50 (1972). The relevant part of the statute reads as follows:
(4) In arriving at the true value of all Class I and Class II property and improvements, the appraisal shall be made according to current use, regardless of location.
In arriving at the true value of any land used for agricultural purposes, the appraisal shall be made according to its current use, regardless of location. ... The land shall be deemed to be used for agricultural purposes when it is devoted to the commercial production of crops and other commercial products of the soil, including but not limited to the production of fruits and timber or the raising of live-stock and poultry.
Miss. Code Ann. § 27-35-50(4) (Supp. 1990) (emphasis added).
Section 27-35-50 is in accord with the Mississippi Constitution. Article 4, Section 112 states that "[t]he Legislature shall provide, by general laws, the method by which the true value of taxable property shall be ascertained; provided, however, in arriving at the true value of Class I and Class II property,[2] the appraisal shall be made according to current use, regardless of location." Miss. Const. of 1890, art. IV, § 112 (1994) (emphasis added).
Riley contends that under the above-mentioned statute and the Mississippi Constitution his land should be assessed as agricultural property. He notes that the Board and the tax assessor required Riley to rezone in order to obtain reclassification. Instead of applying the proper code section, the Board and tax assessor created a new test and procedure for procuring an agricultural classification. Riley argues that contra to the controlling code section, the Board and Tax Assessor determined that rezoning would be the test for obtaining an agricultural classification for ad valorem tax purposes. This test for assessment is both arbitrary and capricious.
The Board contends that Riley did not meet all the requirements of Miss. Code Ann. § 27-35-50(4) and thus, it was within the discretion of the tax assessor as to how he would classify the land. In formulating this argument, the Board relies upon the language "devoted to commercial production" in the statute. Miss. Code Ann. § 27-35-50(4) (Supp. 1990). It is the Board's contention that Riley had no commercial motivation at all, but rather was attempting to escape the increase in residential taxes. Therefore, it is the Board's position that Riley did not meet the requirements of § 27-35-50(4) and ergo, the tax assessor had discretion to classify the property as he saw fit.
In affirming the Board's decision, the circuit court also created a new reclassification test. Riley asserts that the court erred when *751 it focused on the use, assessment and zoning of other lots located in the platted subdivision. Riley claims that the effect of the circuit court's ruling was to render the current use of Riley's land immaterial to the classification of said land for tax purposes. This is in direct conflict with the statute and the Mississippi Constitution. The lower court stated that Riley would be entitled to tax relief only when he demonstrated two things: (1) that other lots in Quinn Gardens are subject to be reclassified as agricultural, or (2) the other lots are "assessed differently."
The Board erroneously created a discretion that does not exist. The Board acted beyond its powers when it granted such discretion to the tax assessor. It is not clear whether the land is for "commercial production." Furthermore, the statutory language "according to current use, regardless of location" refers to both Class I and Class II property. Whether the land is residential or agricultural, both values are determined according to the land's current use. Neither the Board nor the circuit court should depend upon the zoning or the other lots around the land for determining the classification. The statute reads very clearly and should not be misconstrued. The land shall be appraised according to its current use.
The land has never been used for residential purposes. It was used for agricultural purposes when the city zoned it as residential. Mere zoning laws will not change the use of the property. The clear language of the statute states that land will be assessed "according to current use, regardless of location" and it is apparent that Riley's land is used for agricultural purposes regardless of its location.
Furthermore, it is Riley's contention that the actions by the Board and the court below have created an irrebuttable presumption that the use of his property could only be residential. It is this irrebuttable presumption that Riley contends violates the due process clause of both the Mississippi Constitution and the Federal Constitution. In support of this argument Riley cites a Florida Supreme Court case, Bass v. General Development Corp., 374 So.2d 479 (Fla. 1979).
In Bass, the appellant challenged the lower court's ruling that a state tax statute requiring certain lands to be reclassified as nonagricultural if the owner had recorded a subdivision plat subsequent to the enactment of the law was unconstitutional. Bass, 374 So.2d at 479-80. The appellee in Bass filed a subdivision plat for a portion of its land subsequent to the enactment of the aforementioned statute. Id. at 480. Thus, the appellant tax assessor denied an agricultural tax classification for the property at issue. For four years the tax assessor denied the land an agricultural tax classification. Id. During this time additional subdivision plats were recorded for portions of the appellee's land. However, the land was under a cattle grazing lease and was exclusively devoted to agricultural activity. Id. at 479. The appellee filed four suits challenging the denials of an agricultural tax classification and attacking the constitutionality of the statute. The trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the appellee holding that the Florida statute was unconstitutional "because it violates due process by creating an irrebuttable presumption that land for which the owner has recorded a subdivision plat is nonagricultural." Id. at 480. The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's holding that the statute was unconstitutional. Id. at 486.
Riley recognizes that his denial of agricultural status is not predicated on a statute. However, he draws a persuasive analogy between the irrebuttable presumption that the land is nonagricultural because of the recording of a subdivision plat created by the Board, the tax assessor, and the circuit court and the irrebuttable presumption in Bass. The decisions of the tax assessor, the Board, and the circuit court all placed reliance upon the fact that a subdivision plat had been recorded for the land in question and that the other plots were all residential. This effectively created the same irrebuttable presumption that the statute created in Bass. The Florida Supreme Court noted that:
it is unreasonable and unconstitutionally impermissible to presume conclusively from the recording of a subdivision plat *752 that the platted land is not presently being used primarily for good faith commercial agricultural purposes; and ... that although the recording of a subdivision plat may support a conclusive presumption that the intended future use of the platted land will be nonagricultural, to single out this class of taxpayers from all other[s] who are assessed on a present use criteria is so disparate as to deny them equal protection of the law.
Bass, 374 So.2d at 485-86. We hold that the Florida Supreme Court's analysis and holding are persuasive in the case sub judice.
Although the present case and the case in Bass are not exactly on point factually, the number of similarities lends to its persuasiveness. The Florida State Constitution Article VII, Section 4(a) requires that "assessment of agricultural land be based upon its character or use." Bass, 374 So.2d at 481. The Mississippi State Constitution states that "the appraisal shall be made according to current use, regardless of location." Miss. Const. of 1890, art. IV, § 112 (1994) (emphasis added). In both cases the fact that a subdivision plat had been recorded created an irrebuttable presumption that the land was used for nonagricultural purposes. The Florida Supreme Court noted that "[t]he filing of a subdivision plat has little to do with the present use of property." Bass, 374 So.2d at 484. The irrebuttable presumption created by the decisions of the tribunals below denies Riley of equal protection of the law just as the irrebuttable presumption did in Bass. Thus, the Board's action violated Riley's constitutional rights.
The Mississippi Constitution and the relevant statute require that land be assessed according to current use for purposes of ad valorem taxes. Yet, the Board determined that reliance upon location and use of surrounding parcels of land was the test for assessment by the tax assessor. The Board created unfettered discretion and acted beyond its powers in doing so. Therefore, the Board's actions were in direct conflict with controlling law and are improper, arbitrary, capricious, beyond their powers, and a violation of Riley's constitutional rights. Thus, this case is reversed and remanded for action consistent with this opinion.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
DAN M. LEE, C.J., PRATHER and SULLIVAN, P.JJ., and BANKS, McRAE, JAMES L. ROBERTS, Jr., SMITH and MILLS, JJ., concur.
NOTES
[1] The Board of Supervisors decided to affirm a tax classification by the County Tax Assessor and held that the property was properly assessed as residential.
[2] The Mississippi Constitution Article 4, Section 112 defines Class I property as "[s]ingle-family, owner-occupied, residential real property" and Class II property as "[a]ll other real property, except for real property included in Class I or IV." Miss. Const. of 1890, art. IV, § 112 (1994). Class IV property is "[p]ublic utility property, which is property owned or used by public service corporations required by general laws to be appraised and assessed by the state or the county, excluding railroad and airline property and motor vehicles."

Daniel Radcliffe To Star in Horns, Author Joe Hill "Amped"
07.16.12 by Mandy
SHARE:
Though many child stars have trouble getting work as they grow into adulthood, Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter for ten years, is having no problems in that regard. It has just been announced that Radcliffe will star as the bicorned Ig Perrish in the movie adaptation of Joe Hill's Horns.
Last year, Transformers star Shia LeBoeuf was attached to star in Horns, but it's clear that author Hill is on board with this new casting decision. He addressed the news on his blog earlier today.
It probably goes without saying that I’m amped beyond all rational measure. I could not be happier about the casting of Daniel Radcliffe as Ig Perrish. My fanboy feelings for the Harry Potter pictures are well-established, but aside from that, I thought Woman in Black was one of the best horror films of the last decade, and the picture worked because of Radcliffe’s quietly focused performance. I hope Horns serves the kid just as well.
Radcliffe had success with Woman in Black earlier this year, and will star in next year's Kill Your Darlings playing the twentieth century poet Allen Ginsburg, so it's clear that he is having no trouble distancing himself from the boy wizard.

The ‘Science of 9/11′ Discussed in Two U.S. Universities
Amidst the break down of the Zuccotti park Occupy Wall Street encampment, other tremors to the collective psyche are reverberating around our nations’ universities. Two events are set to discuss the science of the destruction of the three WTC towers on 9/11 this week.
Abstract: To most people, the image of the World Trade Center (WTC) is confined to the famous twin towers, which dominated the New York skyline until September 11th, 2001, when they collapsed after each one being hit by an airliner. However, the trade center was an assembly of seven buildings around a plaza. The youngest of these, WTC7, was a huge office building, reaching 186 meters and 47 stories into the air. The ground-plan area was little less than a soccer field.
WTC7 was not hit by an airliner. Still, it collapsed seven hours after the twin towers in a totally symmetric movement with free-fall speed. It was the most unexpected collapse in the history of modern building construction.
The talk outlines the factual circumstances around this event. These facts are held up against the official account of the event as it has been presented in a report from National Institute of Standards and Technology. According to this report, WTC7 collapsed due to fire. But never before – or since – in history has a steel-framed high-riser collapsed due to fire.
In the second part of the talk it is proposed that the collapse of WTC was due to controlled demolitions using explosives. In addition, unambiguous evidence points to the use of thermite, which is an energetic material used to cut and weld steel. The newest findings in the dust include still-reactive remains of so-called nano-thermite.
this is good. I hope that more Americans start paying attention to the criminality of not only the financial institutions and the government, but also of the military. America’s military might and persuasion is what I’m afraid of..

It’s good to see this getting attention in the academic field where it can be given proper scientific scrutiny. Unlike the thousands of YouTube videos that try to explain what happened.

Wasn’t my choice of words either. Yes free fall accelerations is the more accurate terminology, and it is utilized by the over 1,600 Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth to describe accurately the destruction of all three towers but most notably that of WTC7 which falls as admitted by NIST for 2.25 seconds of free fall accelerations indistinguishable from gravity. This admission alone is more than enough evidence for an immediate new and independent investigation of 911. Thank you.

Congratulations on your theory. I’m sure everyone will take your statements seriously, I mean, since your so qualified.
It’s too bad that in your little fantasy world engineers and scientists are totally unqualified to speak about scientific and engineering issues. Do they have cars where you live, or do you just float around by using the hot air in your head?
GIJane
Its simple really, If a Brick falls to the ground thru the air its falling at free fall. If a brick falls thru a car it won’t hit the ground at the same time. This building fell as if there were no metal beams supporting it. No 14ft concrete floors to support generators. Its not expected because it doesn’t happen. Its never happened save for that day. The evidence AE911truth has presented has caused the National Institute of Standards and technology to recant on several occasions. If you lost someone, even if years later, wouldn’t you want to find out? Plus there is So much at stake. 3,000 Americans , tens of thousands of soldiers, and over one MILLION Iraqi’s over this. Someone should start asking questions. I’m glad its science and not speculation. they have physical evidence and researchers who were also apart of the investigation. Its not a career boost. They lose credibility even raising the question. BUT – they do it because it is right.
Joe Joe
Awesome rebuttal. 😉
Honu
It’s your tactic of making disparaging remarks with absolutely no fact or evidence that would actually refute 9-11 truth statements that make what you say just empty words.
And in regards to “scaring” people into believing 9-11 truth…yeah right, cause the Bush administration shyed away from scaring the American people into buying into their bogus war and opening the tax coffers at 12billion/month for 8 years and counting not to mention the lives lost along the way. If you believe 9-11 truth is about scaring people that’s fine. I don’t give a sh-t but the facts still speak for themselves. At the end of the day…you can curse 9-11 truth, you can spit on it, you can make all the remarks you want but you will still be on the wrong side of science and your position will be proven wrong in the end.

Here is an article covering last night’s presentation at the University of Chattanooga at Tennessee. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2011/nov/16/seminar-on-science-of-trade-center-disasters/?local
About 300 people showed up. A good turn out considering they only had a short lead time from the approval for the event being given, to the date of the show to promote.
This quote is priceless and really the sole purpose of events like this, to ask questions without being overwhelmed by the emotions they can bring up.
“Rorie Jones, 19, attended the panel discussion to get extra credit and write a paper about it for her sociology class.
When the freshman entered the auditorium at the University Center, she didn’t have an opinion on the matter. When she left, she only had more questions.”It brought up points I hadn’t thought about before, like the physical aspects of how the buildings collapsed,” she said.”It makes you think,” she added, “but in order to come up with any conclusions we have to remove our emotions.”

That was the 767’s engine which is made out of titanium alloy, tungsten, etc. It’s basically indestructible and would easily go through the building at that velocity.
The pod, however, on the underbelly of the plane which was used to remote control it. Much more interesting to watch that detach from the plane and hit the building before the 767 does.
Dov Zakheim, Look him up!
He was the Pentagon comptroller when the 2.3 trillion dollars was reported missing on 9-10-01; Former CFR member;In a document called “Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century” published by The American Enterprise’s “Project for a New American Century”, System Planning Corporation (SPC) International executive, Dov Zakheim, called for “some catastrophic and catalyzing event “like a new Pearl Harbor” being necessary to foster the frame of mind needed for the American public to support a war in the Middle East that would politically and culturally reshape the region. A respected and established voice in the intelligence community, his views were eagerly accepted, and Dov went from his position at Systems Planning Corporation to become the Comptroller of the Pentagon in May 2001. Perhaps not so coincidentally, it was an SPC subsidiary, Tridata Corporation, that oversaw the investigation after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993SPC, according to their official website, specializes in many areas of defense technology production and manufacture, including a system developed by their Radar Physics Group called the Flight Termination System, or FTS. This is a system used to destroy target drones (craft that would be fired on by test aircraft or weaponry) in the event of malfunction or “misses”. This highly sophisticated war-game technology allows the control of several ‘drones’ from a remote location, on varying frequencies, and has a range of several hundred miles. This technology can be used on many different types of aircraft, including large passenger jets.Flight 77 Is What Really Ties Zakheim To 9/11. Here is an interesting list of passenger who died on that flight:Robert Penniger worked for BAE Systems, (“an industry leader in flight control systems”), whose Board is comprised of many from the intelligence community. BAE has apparently removed their Board of Directors page, but it listed a “who’s who” of high level connections to the CIA, DARPA, and NSA.Robert Ploger and his wife were added “late” to the original CNN passenger list.

It was Very Interesting that the portion of the Pentagon that was destroyed was the finance /records department. A man who was married over 45 years lost his wife whose office was moved to that side of the pentagon only the week before. I’m sure that and Cynthia McKinney’s carrier being attacked after asking about where that money went on Sept 10th were not coincidences.
And the people who still think that this is a just war are deluded. Glad to see people knowin their stuff.

Yes parts of a Boeing jet engine are nearly indestructible. But what punches through the building is not a engine that has had the outer aluminum housing torn from it as you would expect after it’s high speed travel through a steel and concrete building . If it was you would see it fall away from the building in pieces, not explode.

it just goes to show how corrupt and/or incompetent the mass media is. How many newspapers or TV or radio stations bothered to contact strutural enginneers or demolition experts?Very damn few. In the shock of the moment, they simply parroted GW Bush’s blatant lies. whn a few enginneers said “Steel framed buildings do not fall due to fire-they HAVE to be cut apart with explosives.” the Republican noise machine screamed “traitor!” and the corporate media largely ignored them. Whether out of cowardice or corruption, the Democrats went along with Bush & Co. The result is two wars and trillions of dollars in debts.
The republicans are literally just Nazis who dont wear their swastikas in public; September 11 was thier Reichstag fire and iraq was thier Stalingrad. And far too many “democrats” are really republicans. we need to throw their Fascist asses out of office-and ideally into prison.

Congratulations on your theory. I’m sure everyone will take your statements seriously, I mean, since your so qualified.
It’s too bad that in your little fantasy world engineers and scientists are totally unqualified to speak about scientific and engineering issues. Do they have cars where you live, or do you just float around by using the hot air in your head?

Its simple really, If a Brick falls to the ground thru the air its falling at free fall. If a brick falls thru a car it won’t hit the ground at the same time. This building fell as if there were no metal beams supporting it. No 14ft concrete floors to support generators. Its not expected because it doesn’t happen. Its never happened save for that day. The evidence AE911truth has presented has caused the National Institute of Standards and technology to recant on several occasions. If you lost someone, even if years later, wouldn’t you want to find out? Plus there is So much at stake. 3,000 Americans , tens of thousands of soldiers, and over one MILLION Iraqi’s over this. Someone should start asking questions. I’m glad its science and not speculation. they have physical evidence and researchers who were also apart of the investigation. Its not a career boost. They lose credibility even raising the question. BUT – they do it because it is right.

Awesome rebuttal. 😉

Again Im going to go into too much detail because this is such a waste of time, haha except for all the nutters who are profiting from this silliness…
I was a “truther” for a bit. Until one day I started doing my own research and found the majority of the claims made by truthers are complete non-sense. Thats the problem here lol The infamous confirmation bias. Truthers wont even bother with debunking. They want to believe so much that anyone who says otherwise is a secret government agent…
Anyway, its really NOT about what you’re shown, its about what you aren’t shown. For example, several buildings were destroyed on 911. I don’t remember exactly, maybe up to 7 total. How come no one even mentions this on the truther side? Kind of makes the whole “collapsing into their own footprint” argument a joke.
Building 7 was compromised by falling debris. There is proof of this. As I mentioned last time find it on your own. You might be surprised at what else you can find. Look at some unbiased photos, there is literally thousands. Most importantly think for your damned self and stop being spoon-fed.

You sound like an idiot….nothing personal. If you’re going to argue against 9-11 truth, don’t write a post slinging airy subjective beliefs that you don’t include evidence to support. You come off like someone who hasn’t done adequate research informing yourself. So you were once a truther? What…over an afternoon smoking weed with a buddy who blew your mind for a few hours and then once you came down you decided it sounded too crazy to truly believe? I’d contest your very general statements you pass off as the truth but it’s clear by the way you wrote your post that you haven’t studied the facts.
Jez
Building 7 could not have been destroyed like you say. The supports failed simultaneously. The kind of damage that you imply caused the collapse could not have caused the many 30-40 support members to fail simultaneously. How does a bonfire collapse? All at once? Or does it slowly cave in? Same science, same behaviour.

It’s your tactic of making disparaging remarks with absolutely no fact or evidence that would actually refute 9-11 truth statements that make what you say just empty words.
And in regards to “scaring” people into believing 9-11 truth…yeah right, cause the Bush administration shyed away from scaring the American people into buying into their bogus war and opening the tax coffers at 12billion/month for 8 years and counting not to mention the lives lost along the way. If you believe 9-11 truth is about scaring people that’s fine. I don’t give a sh-t but the facts still speak for themselves. At the end of the day…you can curse 9-11 truth, you can spit on it, you can make all the remarks you want but you will still be on the wrong side of science and your position will be proven wrong in the end.

Fatal Phonemes and Emphasis Disasters
The ability to imitate an accent without making mistakes is rare, even among people who are paid boatloads of money to do it. Only a near-superhuman can avoid falling into sticky phoneme and stress traps unique to their linguistic background. For some language-nerd schadenfreude, here are a few recent endearing slip-ups I’ve come across while trashy tv-watching (mostly native Anglophones trying to evoke a different type of native Anglophone but instead sounding like they’re an alien or maybe having some kind of neurological crisis):
The Mentalist– Cute-as-a-button Simon Baker is the only redeeming thing about this show, which is entertainment cotton candy (overly sweet, messy, lacking in substance). He does an OK job masking his Australian accent most of the time but has trouble with certain sounds and stress placement…and sometimes he goes totally off the rails and the show might as well take place in Melbourne. For a quick taste, listen to the sentence starting with “personally” and ending with “our Lisbon” in this clip. If you ever find yourself drunk-watching this show, try to pay attention to his vowels.
SNL with Martin Freeman– Freeman is an incredibly talented actor, and his American accent is usually solid enough. He doesn’t tend to chew on his r’s or talk through his nose too much, like most British actors do when they go American (see: Hugh Dancy, Liam Neeson). Still, he got a little tripped up in this sketch from SNL a few weeks ago, when he mis-pronounced “lever” and quickly corrected himself. Note how he also chickened out of pronouncing the “ow” in “yellow.” To be fair, reading off a teleprompter after rehearsing this maybe three times tops can’t have made this any easier.
In an NPR interview, Hugh Laurie, King of Fake America (he’s a little grinding and nasal but phonetically he’s completely and unbelievably air-tight) revealed the word he most dreads saying in his adopted accent. Side note: another Brit doing an admirably air-tight American accent is Damian Lewis of Homeland, who doesn’t fall into stress pattern traps.
Poor Marion Cotillard’s English is great here, but although her accent is charming and easy to understand, one of the pesky vowels in the word “focusing” makes her unintentionally obscene and Craig Ferguson runs with it.
Though I suppose this could happen to anyone, you’d be hard-pressed to find a real American who’d use the stress pattern Kate Winslet does when she says “I’ve seen you, man” in this clip from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I’m from the Boston area, which is famous for a ridiculous accent that Hollywood consistently fails to reproduce. Very few get it right, and the attempts are cringe-worthy. One of the worst examples comes from Academy Award-nominated Laura Linney. All I can say is, it’s a good thing her role involved little more than two minutes worth of creepy whispered monologue. It makes me want to jump in the Chahles.
Here are a bunch more someone else picked out that are so embarrassing I can actually feel my soul shriveling up while I watch them.
Imitating an accent is obviously an even taller order when it’s not your native language. My own accent when I speak French elicits some level of confusion or curiosity from almost every stranger I interact with, sometimes inspiring such comments as “your accent is charmant (charming)” or the very helpful, “I can’t understand you, at all.” The French seem either uncomfortable or overly excited to hear their language spoken with an accent.
I always reassure my students that it’s fine to have an accent, that EVERYBODY has an accent, and that their goal shouldn’t be to “get rid of their accents” because this can result in total paralysis. I tell them that what matters is making themselves understood and adjusting their pronunciation when it’s going to affect meaning (for example, with minimal pairs like the vowels in “sheep” and “ship”). If their English is correct, most (but obviously not all, the world’s full of a-holes) people will simply find their accents interesting.
One of my favorite ESL classroom activities is to come up with specialized scripts targeting sound-specific traps for students to read out loud. Pronunciation contests can also be a big hit. I once had a small group of students from two very different linguistic backgrounds– half the class consisted of native Arabic speakers, and the rest were native Spanish speakers– so games like this turned into a battle of the phonemes, the Spanish speakers sweating over their j’s and the Arabic speakers roaring with laughter over the word “architect,” which I’d never expected them to have trouble with but which proved to be this particular group’s pronunciation Everest. It’s best to introduce these types of activities after the class has been together for a while, because then the students will be less self-conscious around each other and have more fun with it. Confidence goes a long way when speaking another language; shedding some of the self-consciousness allows students to really practice unfamiliar sounds and form them more naturally.

17 December 2013 Ever silver lining
Cassi Creek: ordered
firewood this morning. Delivery expected
at 1700. That’s great service at a
reasonable price. But no good deed goes unpunished and no reward comes without
a downside.
In all likelihood, I will have to shorten the
logs to fit our stove, and further split them down in size for better ignition
and stove function. Not looking forward
to that. At least, the splitter is
better than splitting with a maul, wedges, hammer, and ax. The chain saw works well but the vibration is
a problem while cutting and for some days after.

Between 1968 and 1971 the Coca Cola company
worked on a series of advertisements
loosely grouped together as the “Real Thing
Campaign”.
You might be old enough to remember one of them from 1971 – the famous inter-racial song on the hillside: “I’d like
to buy the world a Coke…” which ended
with the refrain “It’s the real thing…”.
Would you know the real thing if it kicked you in
the backside? Would the “Real Thing” fulfil your
expectations or defy them?
Maybe you’ve spent years yearning for something you knew so well that
you could almost taste it. You’d
recognize it a kilometre away - this or that opportunity – this or that perfect
person. You’ll have fleshed out the
desired thing in your imagination during sleepless nights. It will look like this – he or she will be
like that. The imaginary thing or person
or occasion or opportunity has grown quite specific. You could draw a picture of it.
You're waiting, then, for something just like that
to wander into view so that you can hop up and shout “bingo”?
Give it a sec.
You’ve built up in your mind an idea of what the
real thing will look like. You’re the
one supplying its arms and legs, setting out the rules by which it will work,
what it looks like, sounds like and smells like. That might pose a problem for you out there in the real
world.
I suggest that when you finally do encounter a “Real Thing” it will be a
bit strange and it will be strange precisely because it’s
not you. It is not the product of your
imagination. It does not resemble your
own face staring back up at you from the depths of the well.
In our reading from Matthew’s Gospel this
Sunday, John the Baptist has already been put into prison by Herod
Antipas. His days are numbered and he
has time to think. He has time, even, to fret.
He sends his disciples to Jesus to ask him if he’s the real thing or
should they keep on looking. John, you
will remember, has publicly recognized
Jesus as God’s lamb, as the coming Messiah and as one more worthy than
himself. But he is now assailed by a
doubt: something about Jesus’ ministry
has not conformed to what he, John, had imagined. And so he needs to ask.
Jesus words
are that the benefits of his ministry are abundant and obvious. The blind, the deaf, the lepers, the lame and
even the dead will all attest to its power.
Jesus finishes, however, with these words:
“Blessed is he who takes no offense at me”.
Jesus
ministry will not be tamed by the cultivated hopes of either the great or the small of
Israel. You may not control the answer
to your greatest desire. What comes to you from God is not generated or limited by your own imagination. Be encouraged and even delighted by its strangeness. Discomfort
may be the greatest proof that something real has entered the world—there to be
met and known and followed.

A statement.
There is no question mark:You
have enough information
to know that the school bus is coming or that you risk being late for work if
the traffic is heavy. No doubt it’s tax
time somewhere in the world.The mailing limit for Christmas presents is almost here.Don’t
you owe the world a better degree of
attention?
What do folk say in response? Answers
are at the ready:How time flies—where have the years gone—goodness is it that
time already?Time, it seems, is something which
catches up with us like a predator. We present ourselves as victims of time.
A
quick survey of the readings during the four Sundays in Advent reveals that there are lots of
people not payingattention to the movements in the
world and the movements of the Kingdom of God which are happening around them.
A voice cries in the wilderness—a young woman conceives a child in a
provincial backwater—a stump produces a shoot—the thief arrives in the dead of
night. We’re not alone. Plenty of
people are not paying attention.
Which makes you special, then. This Sunday you
are going to be privy to what Jesus said to his disciples :
Keep awake, therefore...
or there amongst the Christians of Rome to whom
Paul wrote:
You
know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep.
You have choices to make and a life to be greeted
with open eyes and clear vision. There
is darkness to put off from us, to cast out from within us and to resist around
us. There is never enough time for those who will not redeem the time they have
been given by being wakeful. God is at work in the world and you are invited to
join him. The time is now—in this mortal life. Now—in
the year which begins this Sunday. Here—in the place where we live and
amongst these people beside us.
If it was the latter, for example, do remember that people emerge from all sorts of things – World Wars, state imposed famines in Russia or China, the Holocaust and the Armenian or the Rwandan Genocide, the fall of the Roman Empire, the Thirty Years War or the War of the Roses.In the midst of the events it will appear to those on the losing end as if the real world or perhaps just the ‘known world’ were ending.If you tacked up a sign or scrawled some graffiti on a wall which captured the beleaguered community’s self-diagnosis or the spirit of that moment it might well read:
“No Exit”.
There’s something quite cold, then, about the archaeologist or historian who treats this or that ten-year or even fifty-year period - as if it were just another chapter in the human story.You want to scream at them as they dig around toppled Corinthian columns or through the layers of bones of an ancient gravesite: “Have you no empathy?Don’t you understand that the world ended here?”
“But it didn’t”, she says to you over the top of her horn-rimmed specs, and points with her yardstick at the layers of civilization to be found above the burnt brick and the rubble.“Here – here and here”, she says, shrugs her shoulders and then looks at you as if you were some sort of pillock.
In the small “apocalyptic” section of Luke’s Gospel, which we are reading this Sunday, Jesus uses three imperative verbs for his followers who will live in “interesting times” – outlining the things they are to do or not do:
Verse 8: “Watch”. From the fact that Jesus needs to say this to folks who are obviously already looking around and observing, we must conclude that the word contains some sense that discernment is more than just observation.Open your eyes and cultivate an eagerness to see something beyond the mere facts of victory, loss and change.
Verse 14: “Decide now that you will not make up your mind ahead of time about what to say” in your defence or in the defence of your party or your ideals.
Verse 19: “In your endurance (or patience) acquire/possess/gain your soul”.Most English translations of the New Testament cast this as a future verb (“In your endurance you will gain your soul”) but the verb is an imperative in the original Greek text. An imperative is an instruction. There is very little which is automatic about the process.You must choose to follow it.Waiting can just be waiting - a fruitless exercise.But you, the faithful follower of Jesus, have taken the first two imperatives seriously, which makes such patience a fruitful exercise.
Discerning rather than merely watching (v.8), and refusing to cloud that discernment by anticipating every evil outcome ahead of time (v.14), you open the door to the full possession of your own self, in its novelty and openness to God and to the world (v.19). What could be better? What could be more necessary right now?

“…because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.”
We’ve all known somebody like this widow – a person who will not take no for an answer.If we find ourselves in a difference of opinion with such a man or woman we muse to ourselves that it won’t be a question of ifshe (or he) wins the battle but merely a question of when.Jesus exercises a sense of humour when he pits this widow against a corrupt judge and the scene ends with the judge on his front doorstep in slippers and housecoat rewriting his judgement there and then in the widow’s favour just to be rid of the woman.
A few commentators note that English Bibles usually soften the widow’s fearsomeness in saying that the judge worries about being “worn down” by the constant complaints of the widow.The Greek verb comes from the world of boxing and refers to a darkening of the face.The judge is worried about getting a black eye one of these days.Crooked judges are not immune to the persistence of nagging plaintiffs, says Jesus, so why would your heavenly father (who, after all, is not an unjust judge) be deaf to the constant and persistent prayer of his children?Now, you might pray for the wrong thing.You could pray for things which you may not or cannot and, ultimately, do not receive.God is not a soda machine which distributes the desired product when the button is pressed.
But...
What you must abandon foreveris the thought that once you ask politely on asingle occasion you must, from then on, hold your piece at the risk of being rude.Before prayer is a concise request for a particular thing it is a conversation in space and over time and a relationship between you and your maker. Your words and your feelings are a key component to it. Prayer should make room for strong language.It allows for a heated comparison of the promises of God with the way things have actually turned out.It will beneficially contain elements of your anger, sorrow and outrage.
The unrighteous judge says to himself:Here she comes again in high dudgeon, with her papers and her affidavits and her high pitched voice.He looks forward to the encounter with dread and wishes it over.
Your heavenly father sees you coming as well. He knows what you want and he knows what you need.Heanticipates the fruits your conversation will bear and does not, in fact, want rid of you.

The Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you
could say to this mulberry tree, `Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it
would obey you.
Similar
sayings of Jesus in Mark’s and in Matthew’s Gospels juxtapose mustard seeds
with mountains instead of mulberry trees. The phrase “faith that moves mountains”
has found a home in our language as a figure of speech.
I’d
say “You
get the drift” except I’m not sure you and I always do get the drift.
We
might assume that the apostles are asking for the faith necessary to perform
unthinkable miracles: to strike their
enemies dumb, to heal the one-legged at tent meetings or to teleport mountains
and mulberry trees through air and water.
Are ordinary people here asking (and should we be asking, therefore) to
be given superhuman powers?
The
apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith.
I hear echoes of the father in the 9th chapter of Mark whose
child has a convulsing spirit. This
father is asked whether he believes Jesus can heal his son. He cries
out “I
do believe, help my unbelief”
It
might profit us to consider the request which these people make (“increase
our faith” - “help my unbelief”) rather than Jesus’ more memorable
answer.
What
do these people believe they are lacking?
The
apostles, like the father from Mark 9, stand on the edge of a world which shows
itself to be the Kingdom when Jesus speaks and acts in it. We had grown used to seeing the world as a fixed place where the wheels turn as they must and where one thing leads inexorably to the next. Random chance might be our best hope in seeing our fortunes change. Jesus asks his followers to jump in with him and to
see the world as the place where the sick son can be well again, as a place where
we not only should but indeed can forgive our brother when he sins
against us seven times and where we are now free to forswear the things which
cause us and others to stumble.
The old world still grips us in its claws but you, like these
characters from the Gospels, are gathered at Jesus feet and have obeyed the
summons into his presence. This is true
whether you are a character in the Gospels or a contemporary man or woman who
presents yourself in prayer and corporate worship to your living Lord. Are we
to believe that faith, the quantity of which might even best be described as something
the size of a mustard seed, is missing from us?
Or
has it simply not yet been used? It may not yet a normal tool in the conduct of your lives, in the facing down of
conflicts, in your striving for justice in your place of work and in the hammering
out of your path in life? This is the threshold upon which we stand - not the possession of faith but our willingness to use it. We have the
seed in our hands. It needs to be
planted in the ground upon which we live and work.
Thursday, 8 September 2016
At the outset of this week’s Gospel reading, the scribes and the Pharisees expressed unhappiness about all the "low-life" to be found among the followers of Jesus:
“This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them”.
Listen to what Jesus says at the end of the reading:
“I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels
of God over one sinner who repents.”
If all we had were these two ends – the opening and the conclusion – we might conclude that some sinners work hard at this whole business of repentance and can overcome the stigma of their past behavior with a rigourous and athletic turnaround. These “deserving sinners” get cheered on by angels in heaven as they cross the finish line and join the righteous on the other side.
In fact, the intervening two mini-parables (the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin) are no testament whatsoever to the ability of the lost sheep to climb out of a deep chasm and work its way out of the heather and return to the sheepfold or of a coin to hoist its own shiny edge up between the floorboards and catch the woman’s attention in order to get itself found.
God, says Jesus, is a shepherd. He will go to great lengths to find the one who is well and truly lost.
God, says Jesus, is a poor widow. She will sweep the lengths of her house repeatedly until she finds the thing she has set out to find.
The nature of the Good News that Jesus preaches is not that there now exists a novel way for men and women to work their way along the narrow path into the favor of heaven. The Good News is that God is at work looking for his children, energetically and relentlessly. The redeemed sinner is the handiwork of God and the fruits of God’s labour.

Jesus
asks a lawyer to summarize the Law and the man obliges: We are to love God
and we are to love our neighbour, he says.
Jesus
commends the lawyer for having come up with the right answer. The man then asks Jesus: “So who is my neighbour?”
Our
lawyer is not merely being difficult. This
matters rather a lot. Luke tells us the
story of their exchange in the Greek language and the word used for neighbour (plesios)
merely describes “One who is near”. In a
similar fashion, when St Jerome translated the Bible into Latin from Greek the
word he chose to use here in this passage was proximus (“the one beside
me”). Luther’s German New Testament uses
the word nächster (as in “the nearest"). Our inclination, however, is to love those who
are attached to us by blood, affection, background or common purpose. We will go out of our way to find some
biblical warrant for it. So when the
Greek Old Testament uses the word neighbour (plesios) to translate a
Hebrew word, the word is most often a Hebrew word (re’a) best translated as
“compatriot”. That’s better. Instead
of referring to whoever happens to be standing next to me or living in the
house next door the earlier word seems to refer to “One with whom one has something to do”
You shall not take vengeance
or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people but you shall love your neighbour (re’a) as yourself.
Leviticus 19:18
We
might conclude that the Greek language here is the odd man out and ill equipped
to express the natural loyalty I feel towards those who are like me - towards the sons and daughters of my own people. This might have been the case except that
Jesus then proceeds to tell a story which indicates that natural loyalty itself
is the problem he wants to address.
A
Jewish man was set upon by thieves. Those with a natural kinship to him gave
him a wide berth and left him lying wounded in the road while an ethnic enemy –
the Samaritan for whom the parable is named – dressed the man’s wounds and paid
for his lodging. Who then, asks Jesus, was
neighbour to this man?
I
don’t need to tell anybody reading this that the events dominating our news
media for the past few weeks in Britain, America and around the world are all
wrapped up with the very question which the lawyer poses to Jesus: Who is my neighbour? Who am I connected to? Who can live in the place where I live? To whom do I owe love, protection and the
assurance of their wellbeing. While I would
not presume to oversimplify questions of migration, national identity or
religious pluralism as they apply to the countries of our birth, I can’t help
pointing out that Jesus goes out of his way to say that this natural
inclination towards those who are most like us is wholly insufficient.

In the ticket office Samara told Itar-Tass that the performance Makarevich, scheduled for November 26, for unknown reasons, did not take place – have already announced return tickets. It was assumed that the musician will perform in one of the Samara restaurants with the famous St. Petersburg Ildar Kazahanovym guitarists who made arrangements of the songs of the “Time Machine”. Last week it became known about the cancellation of the concert Makarevich in Samara, which was to be held September 19 – The spokesman for the “Time Machine” Anton Chernin explained that this was due to technical reasons. See also: In Kazan canceled a concert Andrei Makarevich
Concert Makarevich not take place in Krasnoyarsk – is “independent urban site of Krasnoyarsk” confirmed Deputy Director of PR and advertising agencies concert “Musical city ”Xenia Peschik. She stated that the intervention does not take place, since canceled the entire tour. Ticket sales suspended, information about transferring concerts at the moment. Joint concert Makarevich and Kazahanova was to be held on November 2 in the restaurant-bar “Clouds».
Andrei Makarevich at the center of a scandal after the middle of August, addressed the Ukrainian refugees in Sviatogorsk. State Duma deputy from the “United Russia” Evgeny Fedorov was so outraged by this fact that suggested depriving musicians of all ranks and state awards. His point of view was supported by the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, Vitaly Milonov, who said that Makarevich should continue to act in Lviv, and in Russia it is necessary to ban concerts. The situation forced the musician to write a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the “Sabbath” discrediting his name. Spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov musician found message sent to the wrong address.

SSTRM Human and Systems Integration Technical Workshop
The fifth Soldier Systems Technology Roadmap (SSTRM) technical workshop was on “Human and Systems Integration.” It was held on September 21 and 22, 2010 in Gatineau, Canada. We provide below two presentations. The first is by Ms. Linda Bossi, and the second is by Mr. Dave Tack from HUMANSYSTEMS®. These two presentations are followed by Volume 1 – the workshop report, Volume 2 – the presentations from day one of the workshop, and Volume 3 – the presentations from day two of the workshop. Documents are available at our SSTRM Documents Download Page.
After the workshop, the Technical Sub-Committee for the HSI Technical Domain further refined all the available information and organized it into the following three broad themes of primary importance to the future soldier (note that the theme numbers follow from the previous Technical Domains):

Sunset Blvd. (1950) with William Holden
“Oh, wake up, Norma—you’d be killing yourself to an empty house. The audience left twenty years ago.” —— Joe Gillis to Norma Desmond
That 1950 movie Sunset Blvd. was at the time, and remains today, unique in many ways, a milestone in movie history, besides being a great film, with one of the best movie scripts ever written. However wrong it looks, the abbreviation and period in the title are correct as they appear in the main title, stenciled on a street curb. Foremost, perhaps, the film was the first exposé of Hollywood, a none-too-complimentary look which ignited the ire of Louis B. Mayer, the most passionate of moguls, who promoted his own image of homespun America in the Andy Hardy series from 1937 until 1946.
Surprisingly, Paramount Pictures, the studio responsible for Sunset Blvd., okayed this script that was unflattering to the movie business and allowed director Billy Wilder to shoot the film on the premises—showing the most famous and picturesque of the entrances, the back lot, the inside and outside of the writers’ studios and a working sound stage. Samson and Delilah was being filmed at the time, and to add even more authenticity to things, its director Cecil B. DeMille appears with Gloria Swanson as a weak, vacillating director.
Swanson, a famous silent screen star as far back as 1914, had practically disappeared from the screen with the advent of sound. She made only seven films—talkies—between 1929 and 1950. Despite the praise she received for Sunset Blvd. and her third Oscar nomination (losing, however, along with Bette Davis, to Judy Holiday), a comeback or, rather “return” as her screen character Norma Desmond preferred, did not materialize. Swanson compromised with some TV and made two forgettable theatrical films before her final big screen appearance in Airport in 1970.
Although a forgotten ex-silent screen star and often married—that much she, indeed, had in common with Norma Desmond—Swanson was otherwise an outgoing, business-minded artist with none of the psychoses of the woman she portrayed.
While Sunset Blvd. did little for Swanson, the film did much to revive William Holden’s sagging career—that and the good fortune of his also co-starring that year with relative newcomer Holiday in Born Yesterday. After his promising portrayal of a boxer in Golden Boy in 1939, he had settled rather wastefully into light, boy-next-door roles with the likes of Dear Ruth, Dear Wife and Father Is a Bachelor. He truly “returned” with Stalag 17, Sabrina and The Country Girl, reaching his peak—certainly financially in receiving a percentage of the large profits—with The Bridge on the River Kwai. As he aged, no longer the romantic lead, his good looks damaged by alcoholism, he turned to more mature roles. There were two more outstanding films to come—The Wild Bunch, shockingly bloody and graphic (at the time, anyway), and Network, which earned him the last of three Best Actor Oscar nominations. He won his only Oscar in 1953 for Stalag 17, another Wilder film.
In the already fading light of Hollywood’s “Golden Age,” 1950 was an especially good year, with at least five great, or near-great, films: Sunset Blvd., The Third Man, All About Eve, The Asphalt Jungle and Born Yesterday. Among these five, there were thirty-six Oscar nominations. Sunset Blvd. received three of the statuettes against six for its stiffest competition, All About Eve. Greatly debated over the years, it has slowly emerged that, between these two movies, most critics now regard Sunset Blvd. as the better film.
In Sunset Blvd., Holden isn’t a typical romantic leading man. He has no real, passionate clinches with his main co-star, Swanson—sex, even love, wasn’t what his character is after, often visibly uncomfortable beside her—and those apparently serious embraces he does have with his other female co-star, Nancy Olson, are hindered by his character’s haunted duplicity and that sordid association with the first lady.
Sunset Blvd. is a flashback, one of the greatest in film. The tale begins with a man floating, face down, in the swimming pool of a haunted mansion of sorts. As so often with Wilder movies, there is a narrator, and in this case the narration is a key ingredient, deserving third billing after Holden and Swanson. That the narrator is the dead man may present, to some, a problem of logic, certainly at film’s end. “Yes,” he begins, “this is Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. It’s about five o’clock in the morning. That’s the homicide squad, complete with detectives and newspaper men. A murder has been reported from one of those big houses in the ten thousand block. . . . Let’s go back about six months and find the day when it all started——”
Next, the camera approaches, Hitchcock-style, a window of an apartment. Inside, Joe Gillis (Holden), the man in the pool, is hacking away at a typewriter. He writes Hollywood screenplays—for “B” movies mostly, only he hasn’t sold anything in sometime. He’s down on his luck, to put in mildly, and out of cash. When the finance company men knock on the door, come to repossess his car, he tells the two guys he loaned the vehicle to a friend. The men give him until noon the next day to hand over the car, then leave.
Gillis drives the car, hidden in a parking lot, to Paramount studios, to see pill-popping, ulcer-plagued executive Sheldrake (Fred Clark), who is indifferent toward the writer’s idea for a baseball picture and turns down his request for a personal loan. Sheldrake’s script reader Betty Schaefer (Olson) enters, criticizing a recent submission, unaware Gillis is the author.
On the way back to his apartment, Gillis spots, mid-narration, the repossession men and floors the car, turning into—yep!—Sunset Boulevard. A tire blows and, rounding a curve on the wheel rim, he steers into the nearest driveway and into a double-car garage.
The rundown mansion (later torn down and not on Sunset Boulevard) is “a great big white elephant of a place, the kind crazy movie people built in the crazy Twenties.” It is unkempt and seems deserted. Walking around to the back, Gillis discovers that it has at least one inhabitant. In quite a contrast with the way she will appear at film’s end, the mistress of the house appears in shadow, partially concealed behind a set of slat blinds and wearing dark glasses. “You there, why are you so late?” she asks, obviously expecting someone else.
Gillis is ushered into the house by the butler Max (Erich von Stroheim), who says that Madame is waiting and adds, “If you need any help with the coffin, call me.” There are suggestions, already, that this is part horror movie; now, with that line, as has been hinted earlier, the film is also part comedy.
But, now, the fugitive from the finance company exchanges with the lady of the house some of the most famous lines in movie history. He recognizes her: “You’re Norma Desmond! You used to be in silent pictures, used to be big.” And she replies, “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.”
Turns out Norma was expecting an animal undertaker for her recently deceased pet chimpanzee which is laid out before a lighted fireplace.
Learning he is a screenwriter, Norma cajoles him—it’s not very hard—into working on her script about Salome, intended as her “return,” not “comeback,” vehicle. Passing himself off as a busy, high-paid writer and she indicating that money is no problem, they make a deal. Of course, she can’t let the manuscript—“enough for six important pictures,” he says—out of her sight, so he will have to be a live-in writer—and a “live-in” something else as soon transpires.
As Gillis settles into a leaky, stark room over the garage, he looks out the window. Indeed, the pet undertaker has arrived and a chimpanzee burial is underway in the garden. In one of the most picturesque of his copious narrations, Gillis observes: “Come to think of it, the whole place seemed to have been stricken with a kind of creeping paralysis, out of beat with the rest of the world, crumbling apart in slow motion. There was a tennis court, or, rather, the ghost of a tennis court, with faded markings and a sagging net. And of course she had a pool. Who didn’t then? Mabel Norman and John Gilbert must have swum in it ten thousand midnights ago, and Vilma Banky and Rod La Rocque. It was empty now—or was it?” And the screen shows a colony of rats in the bottom of the pool.
Gillis, perhaps because he is a weak man of questionable character, easily settles into the routine of the household—endless nights watching Norma’s old silent movies, wrestling with “that silly hodgepodge of melodramatic plots” that was her script, playing stooge in a card game with forgotten silent stars Buster Keaton, H. B. Warner and Anna Q. Nilsson, the “waxworks” as Gillis calls them, and a New Year’s party in which he and Norma are the only guests, complete with dance band.
Billy Wilder shows in several subtle ways—sans any passionate bedroom scenes—what other “service” Gillis is rendering besides writing. Long before the end of those six months, between his arrival and that final dip in the pool, Gillis is “promoted” from the garage room to the “husbands’ room” which adjoins Norma’s bedroom, and all that that implies. (Max informs him that he was the first of Norma’s three husbands.) Norma takes him shopping for a new suit and the salesman (Archie Twitchell) whispers to him with a smirk, “As long as the lady is paying for it, why not take the Vicuña?” Gillis has grown suddenly informal around her. Emerging from the pool, which she had especially filled for him, he is now relaxed and informal. “Turn around, darling,” she says. “Let me dry you.” He seems all too willing to oblige.
While undeterred by it all and enjoying his gifts, Gillis has learned a few things about the two occupants of this strange, gaudy house. First of all, Norma is crazy, as he had to know from the first, as well as suicidal and psychotically narcissistic—watching her old movies, autographing photos of herself for all those “fans out there” and delighting in the endless photographs of herself. As Gillis tells his audience, “How could she breathe in that house so crowded with Norma Desmonds, more Norma Desmonds and still more Norma Desmonds?”
Gillis learns that Max, who plays Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor on the organ and serves caviar and champagne on a cart in white gloves, was once one of “three young directors who showed promise in those days: D. W. Griffith, Cecil B. DeMille and Max von Mayerling.” Mayerling is a fictional pseudonym for the once-great silent director Stroheim himself, who had directed Swanson in 1929 in Queen Kelly, one of the films Norma and Gillis watch. Although Max is now reduced to butler and chauffeur, unlike Gillis’ motives, he remains a servant to this unsettled woman out of a deep love, forging fan letters, waiting on her despite her indifference and even advising her on her makeup.
Much of the time, Gillis is seeing a woman closer to his own age, that Betty Schaefer from Sheldrake’s office. Together, they are working in the evenings at Paramount on an early Gillis script that she feels has possibilities. She is clearly falling for him, despite her relationship with the upstanding Artie Green (Jack Webb), and he for her, though he sees the absurdity of it all. His conscience is beginning to bother him.
Norma has Max take the finished manuscript to Cecil B. DeMille at Paramount, and before long, indeed, the phone does ring. It’s Gordon Cole from the studio. In Norma’s twisted rationale, now ostensibly on the brink of her dream coming true, she insists on speaking only to DeMille. She soon relents, however, and Max drives Norma and Gillis to the studio. DeMille is cagey about the script and puts her off regarding any screen appearance, but she is too lost in her own world to sense the subterfuge. Meanwhile, Max discovers that Cole was calling only to see about renting her car, a ’20s-era Isotta-Fraschini, for a Bing Crosby picture. Neither Max nor Gillis has the “guts” to tell her as she undergoes extensive body and facial rejuvenation for her imagined screen return.
One evening, Max calls Gillis at the studio. Norma has tried to kill herself with his razor, all others hidden away, a precaution along with doors that have no locks. As Max says, “Madame has moments of melancholy.” Because Gillis rushes to her side, he must have some residual affection for her. Out of some kind of spite, perhaps because he’s desperate to “wipe the whole nasty mess out of my life,” he tells Betty to come by the house. Avoiding the word itself, even if 1950s censors would have allowed it, he announces he is nothing more than a gigolo. The situation is simple, he says: “Older woman who’s well-to-do, younger man who’s not doing too well.”
When Gillis turns to pack, renouncing all the gifts, Norma, already hysterical, shoots him as he passes by the pool.
Flashback over. Back to the present and that body floating in the water and the array of policemen and reporters, including, in another cameo, Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. At the top of the staircase before the assembled police, reporters and TV cameramen, Norma says she is ready. The forever faithful Max, standing among the news cameras, describes Salome’s scene to her, then says, “All right! Cameras! Action!” Norma, now completely unencumbered by reality, descends the staircase as Salome. Then at the bottom, she says, “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”
“So they were turning after all, those cameras,” continues Gillis’ narration. “Life, which can be strangely merciful, had taken pity on Norma Desmond. The dream she had clung to so desperately had enfolded her.” Joe Gillis narrating? Isn’t he dead, off to the morgue by now?! Doesn’t matter. If the audience accepted the narration of a dead man during the film, they shouldn’t have a problem now.
After all, the narration is one of the stars of the film, one of the best examples of Billy Wilder’s command of the English language, this émigré from Nazi Germany, this Austro-Hungarian who wrote better screenplays than most native Americans. Further proof is the Oscar the film received for Story and Screenplay, as it was called then, for Wilder and his co-writers, frequent partner Charles Brackett and, now, D. M. Marshman, Jr. In 1956, a clearer distinction in the screenplay categories would become Original and Adapted, and the third and confusing Story and Screenplay would be dropped the following year.
Franz Waxman, also an émigré from the Nazis, in fact beaten up on a Berlin street, won the second of the film’s three Oscars for his score. (The other Oscar was for B&W Art-Set Direction; incidentally, the Best Color Art-Set Direction was awarded to the aforementioned Samson and Delilah.) Waxman, who was first noticed for his music for The Bride of Frankenstein in 1935, would score three other Wilder films and win his second Oscar in 1951 for A Place in the Sun. Although directed by George Stevens, that film has a similar link to water and murder: Shelley Winters is drowned in a lake by Montgomery Clift.
In its strong support, the music in Sunset Blvd. is almost, though not quite, equal to the narration in importance, both reinforcing the scenes as background per se and in punctuating a Gillis comment or action with a question, affirmation or punch line of sorts. Think of the cynically comical woodwinds that fill the silence as Gillis looks maliciously at the suit salesman after his “Vicuña” sneer.
Or the sleazy saxophone when Norma hands Gillis money for some cigarettes. Or, at poolside, when Norma’s theme is used behind her pathetic confession that she has never been happier. Or the zany silent screen music for Norma’s impersonation—Swanson is quite good, actually—of Charlie Chaplin, complete with mustache, bowler hat and cane, dexterously twirled. Or Waxman’s sly disguise of Paramount’s then famous “Eyes and Ears of the World” newsreel theme as Gillis and Betty walk through the studio back lot.
In the main title, the opening hard-hitting, rhythmic theme (after a brief trumpet fanfare) may remind some attentive listeners of the main theme from Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella. The tune will later add excitement to the chase when Gillis eludes the car repossessors.
The present opening of Sunset Blvd., with Holden floating in the pool, isn’t the original one. On one of the few occasions, it seems, when Billy Wilder misjudged anything regarding motion pictures, the first version took place in a morgue. Holden and the corpses talked among themselves, with lights under the sheets, most macabre of all when a young boy described drowning not being so bad when he opened his mouth and let in the water! The audience either laughed or walked out, or both.
Great review. It is an amazing film,isn’t it. That first shot of the floating body is fabulous. What a riveting way to start a film. Gloria Swanson was perfect as Norma. I guess Norma never made the transition from Silents to talkies.
Loved this review. I’ve always wondered if the show business exposé films of 1950 (in addition to the two you mention in the review there is also In A Lonely Place starring Humphrey Bogart) are a reaction to the Supreme Court’s 1948 Paramount decree. Either way, Billy Wilder and company did a great job in producing a masterpiece of the studio system.
Terrific review. The perceptive comments on the clever musical score by Waxman are particularly welcome since, for even the keener moviegoers, this element of films is not usually as fully evident as a narrative reinforcer as are the elements pertaining to the theatrical and scriptwriting domains. The “sleazy saxophone” when Norma hands Gillis money is a sardonic and caustic musical remark. Not much more is needed to define Gillis’ kept man status at the time.

# KDU
## Kernel Driver Utility
#### System Requirements
+ x64 Windows 7/8/8.1/10;
+ Administrative privilege is required.
# Purpose and Features
The purpose of this tool is to give a simple way to explore Windows kernel/components without doing a lot of additional work or setting up local debugger.
It features:
+ Protected Processes Hijacking via Process object modification;
+ Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (similar to DSEFIx);
+ Driver loader for bypassing Driver Signature Enforcement (similar to TDL/Stryker);
+ Support of various vulnerable drivers use as functionality "providers".
#### Usage
###### KDU -ps ProcessID
###### KDU -map filename
###### KDU -dse value
###### KDU -prv ProviderID
###### KDU -list
* -prv - optional, select vulnerability driver provider;
* -ps - modify process object of given ProcessID;
* -map - load input file as code buffer to kernel mode and run it;
* -dse - write user defined value to the system DSE state flags;
* -list - list currently available providers.
Example:
+ kdu -ps 1234
+ kdu -map c:\driverless\mysuperhack.sys
+ kdu -prv 1 -ps 1234
+ kdu -prv 1 -map c:\driverless\mysuperhack.sys

#### Limitations of -map command
Due to unusual way of loading that is not involving standard kernel loader, but uses overwriting already loaded modules with shellcode, there are some limitations:
+ Loaded drivers MUST BE specially designed to run as "driverless";
That mean you cannot use parameters specified at your DriverEntry as they won't be valid. That also mean you can not load *any* drivers but only specially designed or you need to alter shellcode responsible for driver mapping.
+ No SEH support for target drivers;
There is no SEH code in x64. Instead of this you have table of try/except/finally regions which must be in the executable image described by pointer in PE header. If there is an exception occured system handler will first look in which module that happened. Mapped drivers are not inside Windows controlled list of drivers (PsLoadedModulesList - PatchGuard protected), so nothing will be found and system will simple crash.
+ No driver unloading;
Mapped code can't unload itself, however you still can release all resources allocated by your mapped code.
DRIVER_OBJECT->DriverUnload should be set to NULL.
+ Only ntoskrnl import resolved, everything else is up to you;
If your project need another module dependency then you have to rewrite this loader part.
+ Several Windows primitives are banned by PatchGuard from usage from the dynamic code.
Because of unsual way of loading mapped driver won't be inside PsLoadedModulesList. That mean any callback registered by such code will have handler located in memory outside this list. PatchGuard has ability to check whatever the registered callbacks point to valid loaded modules or not and BSOD with "Kernel notification callout modification" if such dynamic code detected.
In general if you want to know what you *should not do* in kernel look at https://github.com/hfiref0x/KDU/tree/master/Source/Examples/BadRkDemo which contain a few examples of forbidden things.
#### Kernel traces note
This tool does not change (and this won't change in future) internal Windows structures of MmUnloadedDrivers and/or PiDDBCacheTable. That's because:
+ KDU is not designed to circumvent third-party security software or various dubious crapware (e.g. anti-cheats);
+ These data can be a target for PatchGuard protection in the next major Windows 10 update.
You use it at your own risk. Some lazy AV may flag this tool as hacktool/malware.
# Currently Supported Providers
+ Intel Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver of version 1.03.0.7;
+ RTCore64 driver from MSI Afterburner of version 4.6.2 build 15658 and below;
+ Gdrv driver from various Gigabyte TOOLS of undefined version;
+ ATSZIO64 driver from ASUSTeK WinFlash utility of various versions;
+ MICSYS MsIo (WinIo) driver from Patriot Viper RGB utility of version 1.0;
+ GLCKIO2 (WinIo) driver from ASRock Polychrome RGB of version 1.0.4;
+ EneIo (WinIo) driver from G.SKILL Trident Z Lighting Control of version 1.00.08;
+ WinRing0x64 driver from EVGA Precision X1 of version 1.0.2.0;
+ EneTechIo (WinIo) driver from Thermaltake TOUGHRAM software of version 1.0.3.
More providers maybe added in the future.
# How it work
It uses known to be vulnerable driver from legitimate software to access arbitrary kernel memory with read/write primitives.
Depending on command KDU will either work as TDL/DSEFix or modify kernel mode process objects (EPROCESS).
When in -map mode KDU will use 3rd party signed driver from SysInternals Process Explorer and hijack it by placing a small loader shellcode inside it IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL/IRP_MJ_CREATE/IRP_MJ_CLOSE handler. This is done by overwriting physical memory where Process Explorer dispatch handler located and triggering it by calling driver IRP_MJ_CREATE handler (CreateFile call). Next shellcode will map input driver as code buffer to kernel mode and run it with current IRQL be PASSIVE_LEVEL. After that hijacked Process Explorer driver will be unloaded together with vulnerable provider driver. This entire idea comes from malicious software of the middle of 200x known as rootkits.
# Build
KDU comes with full source code.
In order to build from source you need Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 and later versions. For driver builds you need Microsoft Windows Driver Kit 10 and/or above.

The Story of the Goths
The Goths are the most enigmatic of all the ancient German tribes. Their name today is still widely in use for a variety of cultural and artistic movements. But unlike other famous German tribes whose names are still descriptive of nations they founded - the Franks, the Lombards, the Angles, the Saxons and the Alemanni - the Goths simply disappeared. The subject of Henry Bradley's splendid short history is tracing the rise, the migrations, and the impact of the Goths on European history along with their spectacular fall.

American Eastern Corp. v. Henry Blanton, Inc., 382 So.2d 863, 865 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980).").
We decline the appellants' invitation to review antecedent interlocutory orders, as review of those orders is beyond the scope of this appeal.

Proximity, Friendship, & Purpose
When my wife and I moved to Pasadena, we realized that the decision would bring us within closer proximity to those we love, and bring greater distance between others we love. Proximity is interesting because it breeds a false sense of comfort to those around us. The assumption is made that if someone is within closer distance, you will actually see them more and be more involved in their life. While this can be true, there is something that trumps the rule of Proximity.
Being Intentional.
Some great friends of ours made the comment the other day, that even though we are further away from them, we see them more often. This is a beautiful gift because we realized that being intentional is what determines the course of the relationship. Proximity does not equal intentionality. There is no power in proximity. There is only convenience in proximity. Proximity can be used, but it is not the barometer of quality. I have lived years in past homes without ever knowing or meeting my neighbors. I have lived in dorm rooms at UCLA without saying a word to people down the hall. We are not the sum total of our surroundings. We are not a result of what was necessarily placed around us. The universe bends according to desire. Things like focus, intentionality and determination are things that move us based on our heart's yearning. We are not victims of proximity, but victorious when intentional.
My closest friends or family do not have to live next to me. My closest allies do not have to be down the street. Do not get me wrong. Proximity can be full of purpose and meaning. We can be intentional about being near. However, we cannot assume that it is proximity that determines anything. It is the intention and the heart behind nearness that breeds love.
There is a deep truth here that has taken a hold of me in the midst of talking and thinking about being close to those we love. We live our life by rating how "close" we are to our destiny and desires. I once heard an interview of John Legend where he said "I thought I was right around the corner from making it, about 5 years before I actually made it." What Mr. Legend was saying is that his idea of being close to being discovered as a musician was far from the reality. He thought certain signs made him closer or more near, but the reality was it took a random connection in Kanye West to really place him among the legends - pun intended.
All of us have a calling. I want to suggest that your calling does not have anything to do with how close you are. Your nearness is based on your perception of proximity. If we are honest with ourselves, we can find that our internal GPS is more often wrong than it is correct. We are not people who are well acquainted with timing - especially timing that is Divine and completely out of our hands. If there is one thing I have learned from proximity and its deceptions, is that I want to be a person who is intentional. I want to pursue things I deem important, and I want to dwell here.
What you treasure is where your time goes. What you treasure is where your heart lingers. Love is not bound by nearness or distance. Love is protected in the hands of One who is intentional. Your Calling is protected by something and Someone who is Intentional. You are not a result of the hand you are dealt. You are a result of a movement that is by Design. Your coming and going is full of Presence. I challenge all of us to think of our greatest joy, not by how close we are to the things we love or want, but how close we are in pursuing those things daily - in habit, thought, and deed. I would rather be miles away from my Calling but close in my love for it, than right around the corner, but detached from its intricacies. I want to discover a different proximity - one that removes my tiny sized ambition, and unleashes a joy and purpose that is greater than I can even imagine.
May you discover a new nearness - A Divine Proximity - The Author of Intention. And unlike Mr. Legend's breakthrough single, may you realize that we are far more than ordinary people. Peace, and much love to you - Jeevo.

Major Research topic:Automated analysis of Android Malware Samples resilient to evasionAdvisor: MAGGI FEDERICO
Abstract:
Automated analysis of Android Malware Samples resilient to evasion Android is the most popular mobile Operating System (OS). Since, unlike other competitors, it enables the final user to install applications from unknown sources. For this reason, malware is a significant issue. Automated tools are needed to analyze a large volume of applications to spot malicious behaviors. In most cases, these tools use dynamic analysis, meaning that they employ techniques such as software emulation and hardware virtualization to create sandboxes where malware can be analyzed without harming the physical devices. The challenge is that modern malware can exploit imperfections to detect it is being ran in a sandbox, thus evading the analysis and concealing any malicious behaviour. Our research will focus on ways to to create systems able to analyze malware and immune to evasive techniques. The research will be divided into three main phases. In the first we want to create a system to automatically collect malware samples across different Android markets. Second, we want to analyze and classify the malware according to the evasive techniques it uses. Finally, we will design and implement (and ultimately release publicly as a web application) a system that allows people to submit applications to be analyzed in an environment immune to detection. Advisor: Stefano Zanero

This two-tone custom handmade leather purse was first built to carry an Apple Ipad - it has an inside back pocket that the pad slips into. It's over-all dimensions are about 10" wide by 10" high by 4.5". It's completely built using various ways of elaborate braiding. The 1/4" wide lacing is cut from the same 4 oz. moccasin cowhide leather the bag is made with. All of the seams are joined with an applique braid. That same braid is used down the center/length of the strap. The flap has an edge braid around it. The strap is fastened to the body with braiding and has very long tassels that hang from it.
The two colors of leather that this bag is built with are dark Brown and Mahogany. Some of the tassels are the color Cream.
There are two compartments under the flap of this bag that can better be seen in the pictures of the next Ipad bag in the pictures below.
The purse below was also built to carry an Apple Ipad. It's dimensions are also 10" by 10' by 4.5". Each item that I make is built to the buyers request. Working together, we determine the style, color/s, dimensions, pocket/s, strap length, tassel length, etc. The pieces of this are the color Mahogany - it is braided with Mahogany and Chestnut laces.
This is a second view of the same bag as above. Other than the colors, both of the purses pictured on this web page are very much like each other. A person might better perceive how they're built by looking at the pictures below.
The picture below shows a better view of this bags side ...and that it has two compartments under the flap. The back compartment is 2.5" and the front one is 2" ...making a total of 4.5" for this dimension.
This view better shows that it has two compartments under the flap. And, it shows an Ipad slipping into a back pocket of the back compartment.

which contains R input and output code, the following output is produced
Notice that the width of the input box is different from the width of the output box. How do I make those equal in width?
This code requires Sweavel.sty available here sweavel.sty is generated when one runs knir on an .Rnw file which contains LaTeX and R code
A:
You need to redefine the definition of the style Routstyle for listings.
In your used file Sweavel.sty it is defined as
\lstdefinestyle{Routstyle}{%
fancyvrb=false,
literate={~}{{$\sim$}}1{R^2}{{$R^{2}$}}2{^}{{$^{\scriptstyle\wedge}$}}1{R-squared}{{$R^{2}$}}2,%
frame=single,
framerule=0.2pt,
framesep=1pt,
basicstyle=\Routcolor\Routsize\ttfamily,%
backgroundcolor=\Routbackground}
You can use the following code in your preamble instead:
\lstdefinestyle{Routstyle}{%
language=R,%
basicstyle={\Routcolor\Sweavesize\ttfamily},
backgroundcolor=\Routbackground,%
}

Labour election victory is possible!
I notice, not only that George Eaton thinks that
Labour will "survive the next general election as a united force", because of
the "new consensus being forged in the PLP", but also, that he declines to
suggest they can win it (Politics, 28th October, 2016). A wise decision, with
this unity only based on Trident, Nato, constitutional reform such as PR, and an
anti-austerity programme; there have to be more policies which resonate with the
young, and with voters flirting with Ukip or the Greens. A detailed proposal to
regulate private landlordism, and to ensure fair rents, and decent housing for
all, is a must, whilst polls have revealed already the popularity of railway
nationalisation. Miliband made horrendous errors,
but he was right to focus on energy costs, and if all Labour MPs cannot find
common ground in higher taxes for the rich, and tougher legislation on tax
avoidance and evasion, one must question their reasons for being in the party in
the first place.
May`s government will inevitably continue to
support divisive policies, like the return of grammar schools, whilst there will
also be Tory divisions over Brexit, and problems putting the prime minister`s
warm words into practice, so plenty for an opposition to unite against. The
Labour party`s survival should not be the focus of the PLP, but victory in the
next election!

"Imagine that Voldemort's powerful now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who's working for him and who isn't; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able to stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing… The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere… panic… confusion… that's how it used to be."
The event known as the First Wizarding War was a major conflict with foundations as early as the 1940s, but officially beginning in 1970 and ending abruptly in 1981. It marked the original "reign" of the Dark Lord Voldemort.
Contents
Prelude
Rise of the Heir of Slytherin (1940s)
Tom Riddle: "Surely you didn't think I was going to keep my filthy Muggle father's name, did you? Keep the name of a man who abandoned my mother when he found out that she was a witch? No! I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak, when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!"
Around this time, Riddle also learned about Horcruxes and planned to make his own in order to secure himself immortality. He began committing more murders to facilitate this goal, including a triple murder of his own relatives, the Muggle Riddle family. He framed his maternal uncle Morfin Gaunt for the crimes and used the House of Gaunt's signet ring as a Horcrux. While at school, Riddle also began assembling a group of friends who would become his followers, the Death Eaters.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Riddle began working at Borgin and Burkes, a Dark shop in Knockturn Alley. He used this position to befriend Hepzibah Smith, a wealthy old witch who was soon found dead with two of her most prized possessions stolen. Riddle acquired two more Horcruxes and soon left Britain.[2]
Immersion in the Dark Arts (1950s-1960s)
Dumbledore: "You call it 'greatness,' what you have been doing, do you?"
Voldemort: "Certainly. I have experimented; I have pushed the boundaries of magic further, perhaps, than they have ever been pushed..."
For the next two decades, Riddle, now known as Lord Voldemort, laid low and travelled, notably to Albania.[3] He studied the Dark Arts extensively, and underwent several transformations which made him more powerful and less human. He returned to Britain briefly at some point to request that Hogwarts' new Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, give him the position of professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. Dumbledore, who had been suspicious of Riddle ever since he admitted to enjoying inflicting pain as a boy, turned him down, and took note of how his former student had changed for the worse. As a result of this rejection, Riddle placed a jinx upon the job position, making it so that the job could not be held more than a year[2].

"...this wizard, about twenty years ago, started lookin' fer followers. Got 'em, too -- some were afraid, some just wanted a bit o' his power, 'cause he was gettin' himself power, all right."
By 1970, Voldemort had formed the Death Eater organisation and proclaimed himself the new Dark Lord. With this army and his Horcruxes, he planned a revolution against the Ministry of Magic.
The Death Eaters originally attacked mostly Muggles and Muggle-born wizards and witches, while using blackmail and the Imperius Curse to gain secret servants in high places, intending to destabilise the Ministry, which desperately tried to keep order as well as secrecy from the Muggle world. Albus Dumbledore, in response to the growing threat of the Dark Lord and his minions, formed the Order of the Phoenix to combat the Death Eaters directly. Some Aurors from the Ministry also joined the Order of the Phoenix to participate in more secretive, sudden assaults to crush the Dark Rebellion.[4]
Height of the War
Remus Lupin: "The last time Voldemort had power he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear..."
Sirius Black: "...he had huge numbers at his command -- not just witches and wizards but all manner of Dark creatures..."
Terror and chaos gripped the wizarding world at the increased brutality of the Death Eaters, whose identities were still largely unknown.[5] This made people suspicious of one another, even within the Order; Sirius Black, for instance, came to distrust his old friend Remus Lupin, suspecting that he might be a spy.[6]
Voldemort also made use of his alliance with the Giants and werewolves. Aurors fought hard to maintain resistance during the Invasion of Britain, which was fronted by Voldemort-supporting Giants. Many lost their lives and entire tribes of Giants were wiped out until, finally, the beasts retreated and went into hiding.[4]
Decline of the Death Eaters
After the Giants' defeat, the tide of the war began to turn. Death Eaters Evan Rosier and Wilkes met their ends at the hands of Aurors, now given permission by the Ministry per an edict from the office of Bartemius Crouch Sr. to employ the Unforgivable Curses against their enemies. Many ordinary wizards also met their ends while bravely trying to face Death Eaters, such as the father of Dean Thomas.[4]
The Prophecy and the Death of the Potters
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survive..."
During the worst days of the war, a prophecy was made by Sybill Trelawney about the person who would have the ability to defeat Lord Voldemort. There were two possible candidates, both born to members of the Order of the Phoenix in July of 1980: Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom.[4] Death Eater Severus Snape overheard part of the prophecy and reported it to Voldemort, who believed it meant the Potters' son, a half-blood like himself, and resolved to kill the infant. This caused Snape, who was in love with the boy's mother, to defect to the Order without any of the Death Eaters or Lord Voldemort finding out.[7]
Voldemort murdering Lily Potter - one of his greatest mistakes.
Dumbledore bade the Potters go into hiding with the protection of the Fidelius Charm. While James and Lily Potter wanted to have their close friend Sirius Black be their Secret-Keeper, Sirius thought the enemy would suspect him, but not a “weak, talentless thing” like Peter Pettigrew. Thus, Pettigrew became the Potters' Secret-Keeper. No one, not even Dumbledore or Remus Lupin, knew of the switch. However, Pettigrew was a traitor working for Voldemort, and he told his master that the Potters were hiding in Godric's Hollow.[6]
On 31 October, 1981, Voldemort travelled there himself. He killed James when the latter opposed Voldemort unarmed, but offered Lily a chance to save herself if she stepped away from the crib containing her infant son - Snape had requested that she be spared. Lily refused, and Voldemort killed her before turning the Killing Curse on Harry Potter. However, Lily's sacrifice gave her son the protection of an ancient magic, and the curse backfired, destroying Voldemort's physical body and leaving a lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead that a fragment of Voldemort's soul became attached to, inadvertently making Harry a Horcrux.[7]
End of the War
"Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous…. He couldn’t know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: “To Harry Potter – the boy who lived!”"
—Description of the celebrations going on at the end of the war and the destiny forced upon the young Harry Potter.[src]
The Dark Lord's body was destroyed, leaving behind only his mangled soul which fled the collapsing building to go into hiding. Voldemort's defeat meant that his followers were sent into disarray; some, like Bellatrix Lestrange were sent to Azkaban and others, such as Lucius Malfoy, used their wealth, power, and influence (and claims that they had been under the Imperius Curse) to avoid imprisonment. There was celebration all across the country at the end of Voldemort's reign of terror.
Harry Potter, now orphaned, was taken from the remains of the Godric's Hollow cottage to 4 Privet Drive, the residence of his aunt Petunia and her husband Vernon. Waiting for Hagrid in the Muggle neighborhood of Little Whinging was Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, and Dumbledore left a note with the sleeping baby Harry explaining everything to the Dursleys; most importantly, that they must allow Harry to grow up in their home and return there once a year in order to ensure that his mother's protection would continue working. The plan worked: While the Dursleys abused and tormented Harry during all his years living there, they did always allow him houseroom.
Aftermath
"The Dark Lord will rise again, Crouch! Throw us into Azkaban; we will wait!"
Although the war was over with Voldemort's defeat, some Death Eaters were still free to cause trouble, leading the Ministry, spearheaded by Barty Crouch Sr to launch a massive crackdown on the Death Eaters and their acts of terrorism against the wizarding world. Peter Pettigrew attempted to go into hiding, but was tracked down by Sirius Black, who had realised his treachery, on a Muggle street. Faking his own death, Pettigrew created an explosion that killed twelve Muggle bystanders, and then transformed into his Animagus form of a rat, escaping. Sirius was blamed for the explosion as well as the betrayal of the Potters and the "murder" of Pettigrew, and, by order of Bartemius Crouch (who was, at that time, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement within the Ministry of Magic) was imprisoned in Azkaban without a trial.[6]
Though the war was over, Albus Dumbledore knew that Lord Voldemort would return. He and Severus Snape - pardoned for his Death Eater crimes because of his defection - agreed to protect Harry Potter, the boy destined to defeat the Dark Lord.[7] Others, such as Cornelius Fudge, would believe that Voldemort has perished for good and prefer to keep such a delusion as a form of comfort and peace, to the point of discrediting Harry for declaring Voldemort's return, apparently being highly ungrateful for stopping the Dark Lord the first time.

Gang rape victim treated abroad
PLEASE NOTE: EDIT CONTAINS CONVERTED 4:3 MATERIAL
The 23-year-old victim of a gang rape that's horrified many in India was airlifted to Singapore after her condition worsened.
She's been taken to the Mount Elizabeth Hospital which Indian officials say has facilities for multiple organ transplants.
A spokesman for the New Delhi hospital where she's been undergoing treatment says her condition is still critical.
SOUNDBITE: DR B.D. ATHAN, MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT AT SAFDARJUNG HOSPITAL SAYING (English):
"Based on the advice of a team of doctors the Government of India has made arrangements that the patient be shifted in well-equipped air ambulance to a renowned hospital identified by the doctors involving minimal journey so that she can be provided with state-of-the-art medical treatment that may perhaps stretch to many weeks."
The attack on the paramedic student on December 16th has unleashed a wave of protests across India.
She was raped for nearly an hour by several men aboard a bus, beaten and thrown from the moving vehicle.
There were more than 24, 200 reported rape cases in India in 2011, a rise of over nine per cent on the previous year.
Among the major cities New Delhi has the highest level of sex crime.
Police say a rape is reported there on average every 18 hours.
Many sex attacks go unreported in a nation where there is a deep-rooted view that women are inferior.

How to Convert a Netbook Into a Touchscreen PC
Tablet PCs may be the next big thing in computers, but netbooks are cheap and widely available now. Why wait for Apple (or TechCrunch) to do it for you? Here's how to make your own touchcreen PC, starting with an off-the-shelf netbook.
Most Read
By outfitting an off-the-shelf netbook with a touchscreen, we were able to make our own finger-friendly PC.
If the buzz is to be believed, 2010 will be the year of the touchscreen tablet PC, with multiple major manufacturers lining up products that they claim will give us a carry-anywhere way to read e-books, watch movies and surf the Web.
And while I suppose I could just buy one of these machines, I thought it'd be more fun to make my own touchscreen PC out of last year's "it" computer: the lowly netbook. The advantage: Unlike these new tablets, my creation would also have a keyboard, making it far more practical for typing-heavy tasks like e-mail and running Word. The project's total cost: less than $500, including the computer.
First, I needed to gear up. I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 netbook (retail price: $350) and a Hoda Technology Solderless Touch Screen Kit ($96 from fidohub.com), which contained everything I`d need to transform a netbook into a touch-friendly tablet. Hoda offers a variety of models that are designed to fit specific netbooks, so make sure you get the right one if you try this at home.
I wanted to be sure the new touchscreen was properly protected, so I purchased a BodyGuardz transparent scratch-proof skin, which is designed to protect touchscreens without impairing their sensitivity. Before covering the new panel, I gave it a once-over with a can of compressed air—otherwise, dirt and dust could be forever trapped under the BodyGuardz.
Taking the PC Apart
Next came the fun part. In order to wire in the new screen, I first needed to disassemble much of the netbook. I started with the easy stuff: I removed the battery, unscrewed the underbelly screws and took out the hard drive. Removing the keyboard and screen bezel was a bit trickier—they had to be pried off with a filed-down plastic knife (plastic is less likely to scratch than metal).
If you decide to take on this project, open the screen and look for a seam that runs along the side, around the entire machine, either just above or just below the USB slots. Using the knife (or a similar tool), gently pry into this seam until the case begins to separate. With the underbelly screws removed, this should be very easy. To take apart the screen bezel, look for a similar seam along the side of the display, and use the knife to pry it apart as well. The bezel should pop right off.
Of course, the new touchscreen needed to get its power from somewhere. The kit comes with an internal USB power control hub—basically a USB hub that is installed inside the computer. This hub needs to be crammed inside the machine, which can be tricky with a cramped netbook (mine fit just above the computer's Wi-Fi card). From there, it feeds power from the motherboard to the screen. After the hub is hooked up, it will actually have two unused internal USB cords. These are free to deliver power to components. I took one and attached a Kensington Bluetooth USB Micro Adaptor (one of the smallest Bluetooth dongles on the market), giving my netbook the ability to wirelessly communicate with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse or phone.
Placing the Panel
Now it was time to attach the touchscreen panel. The new screen has to be placed on top of the old one with perfect alignment. To do this, I put the battery back in the computer and turned the screen on, allowing me to see the LCD's exact borders. One side of the new touch panel comes coated with adhesive, so I pressed this side into place over the lit-up screen. After I restarted the computer, the touchscreen was working—and I was able to accurately control the cursor with my finger. But it's smart to give it a test run before you put the computer back together—just to be sure everything is in place.
While the laptop was open, I thought it couldn't hurt to add some upgrades—more RAM and a faster and higher capacity storage drive will help a previously sluggish netbook stave off obsolescence, at least for a little while. I upgraded my machine to 2 GB of DDR2 SDRAM and a solid-state storage drive. I was now done and ready to put it all back together again—a fairly straightforward procedure. The final product: a powerful, portable, touch-friendly computer. Did it let me do anything a normal PC couldn't do? Not really, although that could soon change, now that developers have the ability to build touch capabilities directly into Windows 7 applications. But it did let me move away from the netbook's cramped touchpad and keyboard and spread my hands over a spacious touchscreen. And it certainly draws stares when I pull it out at a Starbucks.

How Exactly To Buy Lsat Exam Prep Watches
The market for pre-owned items is just big. And the LSAT watch timer market is also the same. Although a watch is usually a very personal item, at some time people are ready to buy something more costly, or even more special to them. In this post, we offer several tips to help you get the best of what you are searching for.
Why could you get a pre-owned watch? Well, first there may be the chance a watch that you truly like (or will have liked) has gone out of creation and simply unavailable anymore. In this instance, the only chance to acquire such a watch will be in the analog last watch market, unless of course, you’re wishing to encounter a never- used model at a seller who never sold it, to begin with, and chances of that happening are really small.
The things to take into consideration when shopping for used watches are well worth mentioning right here as well. Much like a used car, you’ll need to know some considerations. For watches, you should concentrate on:
Service history
This isn’t so essential if the LSAT watch timer is merely a couple of years old but always enquires about the services background of the watch. Since a mechanized watch can cost you quite a bit nowadays, chances are that the seller can discard this important record. If no invoice is present, do you think watch hasn’t had something wrong? Determine the price of spending money on that yourself and add that to the watch’s cost and decide whether it’s still really worth buying.
Box and papers
If a Lsat exam prep is 30 to 40 years, it is most likely that its original container and guides are gone. For reasons unknown, the owners didn’t value these exact things (and sometimes still don’t). With the current packaging, in which a large amount of work has been placed into a good wood or leather-based box, comprehensive manuals, guarantee cards and so forth, you really should look for an all-complete collection. Of course, if the watch is quite special and you’re fairly sure you will not have to pay for it. Also, ensure you’re obtaining the correct box for your unique watch. It will at least be time-correct.
Scratches and dents
A watch should be put on. But there are individuals who place their new watch in a safe rather than look at it now and again. Actually, if this costs a few bucks, a watch is on the wrist. Don’t assume all watches are match with your daily wear. Of course, a watch that has been worn is certain have some tiny scratches and even an intermittent dent. Usually, ask yourself the sort of surprise or you might have revived if the scratch is quite deep or if the case had many problems. Remember, it isn’t only the case that is pulled around, but also the mechanical motion inside.
You might still end up buying it, particularly if you’ve examined to see that its features still function, but remember that damages might go much deeper than what is noticeable on the top. Also, if there is corrosion on the hands, for instance, as if the motion is free from corrosion. When possible, ask the owner if you possibly could see the watch’s movement. Look for signs of corrosion and scratches and other signs of misuse.

Spring response to precipitation events using δ(18)O and δ(2)H in the Tanour catchment, NW Jordan.
The Tanour spring is one of the several karst springs located in the northern part of Jordan. Water samples from the Tanour spring and precipitation were collected in the area of Ajloun in NW Jordan for the analysis of stable oxygen and hydrogen isotopes to evaluate the spring response to precipitation events. Rainwater and snow samples were collected from different elevations during winters of 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. In addition, spring samples were collected between December 2014 and March 2015. δ(18)O values in rainwater vary from -3.26 to -17.34 ‰ (average: -7.84 ± 3.23 ‰), while δ(2)H values range between -4.4 and -110.4 ‰ (average: -35.7 ± 25.0 ‰). Deuterium excess ranges from 17.8 to 34.1 ‰ (average: 27.1 ± 4.0 ‰). The Local Meteoric Water Line for the study area was calculated to be δ(2)H = 7.66*δ(18)O + 24.43 (R(2) = 0.98). Pre-event spring discharge showed variation in δ(18)O (range -6.29 to -7.17 ‰; average -6.58 ± 0.19 ‰) and δ(2)H values (range -28.8 to -32.7 ‰; average: -30.5 ± 1.0 ‰). In contrast, δ(18)O and δ(2)H rapidly changed to more negative values during rainfall and snowmelt events and persisted for several days before returning to background values. Spring water temperature, spring discharge, and turbidity followed the trend in isotopic composition during and after the precipitation events. The rapid change in the isotopic composition, spring discharge, water temperature, and turbidity in response to recharge events is related to fast water travel times and low storage capacity in the conduit system of the karst aquifer. Based on the changes in the isotopic composition of spring water after the precipitation events, the water travel time in the aquifer is in the order of 5-11 days.

PCB wants meet with BCCI officials on Indo-Pak cricket
Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board says "everything is in the air" as far as resumption of bilateral series with India is concerned and it does not expect any progress on the issue until the BCCI holds a formal meeting with its officials.
"The truth is right now everything is in the air. And frankly speaking even our policy on resuming bilateral cricket ties with India would only be made once we get a formal invitation from the Indians for a meeting or for next year`s series in India," PCB Chief Operating Officer Subhan Ahmad told reporters.
Referring to different statements emanating on the subject, Ahmad said even during the recent meeting of the ICC chief executives in London, there was no formal discussions between the two boards.
"The secretary of the Indian board didn`t come for the ICC meeting and his replacement was not aware of the situation on bilateral cricket ties. So no formal discussions were held," he said.
Ahmad made it clear that the PCB would only be able to take a decision on touring India next year when the BCCI came around to sending a formal invitation or to have talks.
"Our line is very clear even now we want resumption of bilateral cricket ties with India as soon as possible. But obviously we also have in mind that India has to compensate us for the FTP tour they didn`t undertake in early 2009," Ahmad said.

I sent some POSW coins from my coinomi wallet to exchange. One transaction has created 2 outputs however the one which holds 124 coins is showing as "unspent". Why does it gets stuck in block chain ? As per attached image the block itself has many confirmed confirmations. Do I need to contact my wallet provider or exchange in this case ? I have correct receiving address in place and POSW coins are being moved to POSW wallet address.
How long does it takes for coins to be in " Spent" stage. I earlier faced this issue with bitcoin and now it is with POSW coins.
Hi Willtech when you state "unspent until another transaction is made as to input the fund" what does this actually mean ?
– adikhannaJan 29 at 17:25
The address where 125 coins are going is exchange address given to me by exchange. Recipient has received means it is with exchange ?
– adikhannaJan 29 at 17:27
@adikhanna Yes, if the address is exactly the address given to you by the exchange, for exactly the same cryptocurrency then yes, the coins are with the exchange. My answer is not quite as you have quoted, but to say further, "unspent until another transaction is made as to input the fund into the supply for a new transaction." i.e. spending the funds. It means the funds are held by the address until they are used.
– WilltechJan 30 at 8:08
"unspent until another transaction is made" by you means that my 125 coins UTXO has to be tied with new input for this to reflect in my account ? I am new to this so let me know if what I am saying is correct or not ? How long does exchange usually take to tie this transaction to new input ? Is it done manually ? If you know by any means every exchange has a different ways to deal with UTXO ?
– adikhannaJan 30 at 13:03
@adikhanna Once the original transaction is confirmed in a block the funds should be showing in your account. A new transaction would take the funds out again. Please check the output address on the original transaction carefully to ensure that it is precisely correct and contact the exchange for assistance.

Complementary proteomics strategies capture an ataxin-1 interactome in Neuro-2a cells.
Ataxin-1 mutation, arising from a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract expansion, is the underlying genetic cause of the late-onset neurodegenerative disease Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). To identify protein partners of polyQ-ataxin-1 in neuronal cells under control or stress conditions, here we report our complementary proteomics strategies of proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) and affinity purification (via GFP-Trap pulldown) in Neuro-2a cells expressing epitope-tagged forms of ataxin-1[85Q]. These approaches allowed our enrichment of proximal proteins and interacting partners, respectively, with the subsequent protein identification performed by liquid chromatography-MS/MS. Background proteins, not dependent on the presence of the polyQ-ataxin-1 protein, were additionally defined by their endogenous biotinylation (for the BioID protocol) or by their non-specific interaction with GFP only (in the GFP-Trap protocol). All datasets were generated from biological replicates. Following the removal of the identified background proteins from the acquired protein lists, our experimental design has captured a comprehensive polyQ-ataxin-1 proximal and direct protein partners under normal and stress conditions. Data are available via ProteomeXchange, with identifier PXD010352.

Located in the western area of downtown Berlin, next to the Berlin Zoo and facing the new Waldorf Astoria Hotel, “Bikini Berlin”, a new venue, is being created that goes beyond conventional architecture, city planning or typical shopping malls.
Bikini Berlin is a concept mall, a collection of carefully selected and perfectly matched boutiques, concept and flagship stores as well as restaurants and service providers. The new shopping oasis addresses a sophisticated, trendy and style conscious international clientele with a high standard of quality and shopping experiences with this uniquely designed venue.
A new shopping experience
The basic idea of this architectural concept includes a combination of shopping, working, relaxation, cinema and hotel in an urban environment.
The centerpiece is the so-called historical “Bikinihaus” with a total length of 200 meters. The concept of the rehabilitation of the listed building complex dating back to 1957 comes from the renowned studio Arne Quinze. The Munich architecture studio Hild und K was entrusted with the project. Due to its two-tier architecture, reminiscent of the young and fresh swimwear garment at the time, the house was popularly called “Bikinihaus”.
After completion of the renovation, the visitors will find retail stores and restaurants on the bottom three floors of the Bikinihaus. The third to the fifth floor as well as the penthouses will comprise exclusive offices.
The highlight of Bikini Berlin is the 7,000 m² large, landscaped and publicly accessible roof terrace with the underlying "Bikini Berlin Pool", a two-storey building behind the Bikinihaus. A unique view of the zoo and its wildlife will be possible from this roof terrace.
In Bikini Berlin Pool, visitors will find future pop-up stores on a total area of 3,300 m² that can be rented for a period of 3 to 12 months. Potential tenants can present their ideas and products here. In addition, the Bikini Berlin Pool includes a modular, usable area, which will meet the needs of visitors for events and exhibitions in the building.
Innovative Hotel experiences and Premium cinema
Next to the Bikinihaus will be the so-called "Kleine Hochhaus", which, upon completion, will accommodate the 25hours Hotel. The hotel comprises 149 rooms with a mix of styles ranging from city to jungle. In the rooms on the north-side, guests will be able to enjoy a panoramic view of the zoo. The crowning penthouse level will include a 360-degree roof-top bar upon completion.
The Zoo Palast cinema was already a legend as part of the historic building complex, and as a premiere theater it was the heart of the Berlinale film festival for years. For the conversion of the interior design of the theater ensemble, the year 1957 was taken as a reference point. The original colour will significantly shape the future ambiance of space inside the Zoo Palast. The existing structure from the original construction will be carefully restored.
Besides the four cinema halls in the listed building with its two halls from the fifties and two smaller halls from the eighties, three new cinemas will be created. 1,650 seats will be available after the reopening.
ARCHITEcture of the building complex
Historically speaking, the area around Berlin´s Zoological Garden can look back at a long tradition defined by major dynamics during its prime: Some 100 years ago this part of the city already stood for a spirit of optimism. It stood for innovation and worldliness, and for “the new West”.
Bikini Berlin is one of the few contemporary witnesses of the turbulent history of West Berlin from the post-war period of the fifties. In 1957, Paul Schwebes and Hans Schoszberger finished the ensemble "Zentrum am Zoo", which is a symbol of the townscape of the City West.
The new facade of Bikini Berlin is a successful blend of history and modernity. The south façade of Bikini Berlin as well as that of the Kleines Hochhaus, both of which are listed, will be faithfully reconstructed in the style of the fifties. The former facade is hardly known, even for a Berliner, because it was hidden behind synthetic ornamentation since the eighties. Bikini Berlin has taken on the task to preserve or restore the original architecture with the initial character of the building complex as much as possible. On the upper three floors of the Bikinihaus there are extensive, horizontally arranged glass plates in colours of sand, amber, black, white marble and stone gray. The vertical facade will be finished with gold-coloured oxidised elements.
For the facade of the new building additions, such as the cinema construction, the freestanding staircase to the roof terrace, the parking garage, and the Kleine Hochhaus, the old, no longer usable coloured glass parts of the fifties will be crushed and applied to the new area using a blow-molding process. The north facade of the house and the Kleine Hochhaus will be fully glassed and offer a spectacular panoramic view of the zoo and its wildlife.
ONLINE SHOP now LIVE
A first preview of the shopping experience of Bikini Berlin is already possible online at http://onlineshop.bikiniberlin.de or www.bikiniberlin.de. In the online shop, limited edition products produced in cooperation with selected designers and brands can be purchased. The exclusive Bikini Berlin products include among others, the "Est. in Hell for Bikini Berlin T-Shirts”. The designer label "Lala Berlin" is like no other label for the urban Berlin Chic and presents another item in the collection.
The innovative Berlin cosmetics brand Uslu Airlines has developed two exclusive nail polish colours for Bikini Berlin. Also, Olaf Hajek, one of the world’s most popular and most successful illustrators has designed a 100-piece limited edition, hand-signed art print exclusively for Bikini Berlin that reflects his vision of the building complex at the Budapester Straße (street). Further, there are the "Canvasco for Bikini Berlin Shoulderbags" made from recycled sail cloth and the "Marstaller for Bikini Berlin" iPad sleeves.
DIE BAYERISCHE HAUSBAU
The concept of revitalisation of BIKINI BERLIN is a project of the Bayerische Hausbau, one of the largest integrated real estate companies in Germany. Bayerische Hausbau is investing in the hundreds of millions in the fundamental revitalization of the area. Bikini Berlin offers a total of around 51,100 m² of leasable area. From this, about 17.000 m² are for retail stores and restaurants at the Bikinihaus and the Bikini Berlin Pool, 1,000 m² for restaurants at the Großes Hochhaus, 4,300 m² for the Zoo Palast cinema, 8,800 m² for the 25hours hotel as well as approximately 21,000 m² of offices. 3,000 m² will be available for warehouse space.
Currently, 70 percent of the total rentable area of the building complex is already rented. The tenants include designer Andreas Murkudis, GANT Rugger and the Supermarket Concept Space. Additional leases for retail, with a total area of 2,000 m², are being finalised. Rental of the Pop-Up Stores started in the summer of 2013.
Opening
BIKINI BERLIN will open gradually from autumn 2013. In October, the Kleine Hochhaus will be transferred to the 25hours Hotel. The shops and restaurants in Bikinihaus and Bikini Berlin Pool will open in the first quarter of 2014.

This is our new official racing bike for 2011, build with a Scott Premium frame. The frame was given to us by the official Scott importer in Brazil, for testing and promocional purposes, and is going to be returned after season. Meanwhile, we enjoy the bike to it's fullest, and hope for minimum frame damage by the end of season.
The frame weight on scale with the plastic stuff reaches exact 898 grams ... Quite awesome for this premium version. We saved a lot of weight on THM PF92 bearings, installed directly on the frame (-38g from original THM GXP BB).
We didn't use the botton Ritchey PRO tapered headset adapters. We produced an alloy adapter to convert tapered into direct tune bubu bearings house ...
Stunning bike ! I think the first pic is way better and I love that. It is wallpaper stuff But the AX rims are super sexy, so I would take the dugast tyres snd put them on the AX rims Dugast are way more nicer than the ugly tufos Those innolite discs are real lookers!
This clavicula is the 1/20 of this Gold label edition. I have here another "normal" one, but Scott preffer the special edition to use as advertising. Anyway, claviculas are still "rare" in Brazil. I complete agree with you about the huge headtube, but while we don't live options for this default headset, this was the solution that we found. Maybe soon DT start selling new XMC with carbon crown and steerer for tapered headsets. Thanks 4 ur words.

Yes, this is long. It was a choise, cause this bike is going to race ... The main goal wasn't make the lightest possible.

Online medical services are becoming increasingly popular, so it's important to understand what they are - and aren't. Here's a rundown of pros and cons
“E-visits,” “virtual doctors,” “telehealth,” and “teladoc” are some of the names that have been used to refer to the increasingly popular online medical care services. The concept of e-visits and online doctors stemmed from a term known as “telemedicine” or “telehealth.” According to the Mayo Clinic, it is “the use of digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices, to access health care services remotely and manage your health care.”
According to the WHO, there are principles which are essential to telemedicine:
It is meant to provide clinical support
Its intention is to overcome geographical barriers and to connect users who are not in the same physical location
Its goal is to improve the outcome of healthcare
Telemedicine is not a new subject, and some believe that the idea stemmed from the Royal Flying Doctors Service of Australia (1912), an aeromedical organization which provides primary health care services in rural and remote regions. During the 1960s a telemedicine system was established at the Massachusetts General Hospital by Dr. Kenneth Bird. It linked a medical station at the local airport with doctors who would then supply diagnoses and treatment via a transmission. Those were the first examples of telemedicine, and they paved the way for what we know today.
In a survey commissioned by Royal Philips Electronics, approximately 41% of Americans were comfortable using different websites to check their symptoms, and that 1 in 10 people believes that they would have been “dead or severely incapacitated” if it were not for health information on the internet. The truth is that many people prefer to look online before calling their primary care physicians and while there is a lot of information out there, not all of it is accurate and more importantly, not all of the information applies to us or our conditions.
With the rising rate of disease discoveries, self-diagnosis and the ease of accessibility to technology through smartphones, tablets, and computer, people are taking a more active approach towards healthcare, often seeking prevention and proper treatment if necessary. Luckily, someone saw it fit to take online healthcare to the next level by offering a medical service, unlike anything we’ve encountered.
There are many primary care conditions which can be treated either online or via phone if the doctor asks the right questions and these sites promise improved and efficient healthcare without having to step a foot inside of a doctor’s office. There is increased access to care, lower prices, and less time waiting to be seen by a physician or nurse practitioners. Some of these businesses have a response time of less than 30 minutes, which give new meaning to the words convenient and efficient.
There are many pros to this new and emerging field, some of which have already been listed above. Additionally, online medical services benefit consumers by:
Reducing the spread of infectious diseases through doctor-patient interaction
Reducing the need for home-bound patient transfers
There are obvious negatives when it comes to this service and most of them are centered around the lack of in-person interaction between patient and medical professional. You won’t be able to undergo surgery, get vaccinated, or undergo various tests and the truth is that it will never equate to or surpass face-to-face medical treatment.
Other areas of concern include:
The cost of technical training of the medical personnel
Increased risk of protected medical information being compromised
Not being covered by some insurance companies
Commitment to a long-term membership
Exclusion of certain groups like the visual or hearing impaired
Some businesses are taking steps to address the faults, the most common of which is by installing manned and unmanned diagnostic kiosks. These machines are able to perform routine medical tests including blood pressure, blood glucose, heart rate and ECG, spirometry, as well as height, weight and BMI measurements.
Despite all of these complications and technicalities, online medical services seem to be the ‘new primary care’ go-to and it is a viable option for those who need treatment but do not have the time or the means to get to a doctor’s office. Although there are marked differences between this and the way that things are traditionally done, they do have quite a few things in common. In the same way that doctor’s offices can electronically send your prescription to your local pharmacy, order lab tests, and send results, so can many of these online medical services.
Whether you are sick with the flu or whether you are suffering from a chronic condition, there are services which cater to the majority of the people’s needs. Some of the online medical services even offer specialist referrals and there are a few which allow you to work with an entire team of doctors.
When you go online, there seems to be hundreds of medical services available, some of which tout board certification in addition to being featured on popular talk shows and news sources. It can be difficult to choose one of these sites as many factors need to be considered, the most important being the legitimacy of the online service. If given the option, many people would opt to personalize their health care experience and there are many sites which cater to that need.
It can be hard to find websites which put together comparative lists of these online services, but there are some out there. The good ones provide consumers with an in-depth look at some of the top online medical services available and they also give details about online doctor certification, pricing, and scheduling – all things that are important when choosing a doctor, whether it is online or in person. These websites also gives a list of the pros and cons of each company, and the specialties of the doctors who work there.
Online medical care is one of the biggest breakthroughs when it comes to medical treatment, and within the next decade, it is believed that the field will grow exponentially and that other related areas like telerehabilitation and telepharmacy will be integrated, changing the face of healthcare for the better.

Prospects’ Game a success for USHL
The L.C. Walker Arena, located along the harbor’s edge in Muskegon, MI. was the birthplace to the inaugural USHL/NHL Top Prospects Game Tuesday Night.
The newly conceived event showcased 40 of the United States Hockey League’s finest draft-eligible talent, 37 of which could hear their names called in June, and three eligible for 2013. With nearly 200 scouts in attendance, including 150 from National Hockey League staffs, the hockey community was well represented alongside fans who came out to take in the action.
While there were injury withdrawals before the event, including to the high-profile and much touted duo of Dubuque Fighting Saints Zemgus Girgensens and Michael Matheson, their absence did little to damper the excitement that surrounded the event and the product which resulted on-ice made for a tightly contested game that legitimately came down the final horn.
Team West got out to an early 2-1 lead after the first Period, largely thanks to the trio of AJ Michaelson (Waterloo,) Austin Farley (Fargo,) and Luke Johnson. That line showed great skill and grit, and seemingly made things happen with every shift. Alex Lyon (Omaha), starting goaltender for Team East, struggled but righted the ship.
His East teammates quickly tied the game in the middle frame, as Robert Baillargeon (Indiana) notched his second of the game, with Nicholas Schilkey (Green Bay) following his lead soon after, giving East and its new Goaltender Jon Gillies (Indiana) a 3-2 lead until late, when Justin Selman (Sioux Falls) connected off of a feed from his Stampede teammate Austyn Young to tie it. East broke the tie halfway through the third Period when Jeff Kubiak of the Chicago Steel was able to get the puck past Jay Williams (Waterloo), who had taken over for Stephon Williams (Sioux Falls) when the goaltenders switched around the midway mark of the game.
Kubiak’s goal would stand as the game winner, as East held off a furious charge from Team West for the rest of the 3rd Period- Alex Kile (Green Bay) made it academic for Team East with the game’s final goal with a little over a minute left, giving East a 5-3 victory.
Most Valuable Player Awards were given to a player from each team: Farley took home the honor for his one goal and one assist performance for Team West, and two goals gave Baillargeon the honor for Team East.
Storylines:
– What a story Jeff Kubiak was. He scores a goal Sunday in Chicago’s 3-1 win over Youngstown, and finds out Monday morning that he will be participating in The Top Prospects Game, as Zemgus Girgensens (who missed a game Thursday due to injury) pulled out of the game. What does Kubiak do? Has solid game, notching the game-winning goal.
– The inclusion of the three 2013 draft eligibles is a curious one; on one hand, fans and scouts are exposed to the names we will all know next season, but does their participation take away exposure from someone who is deserving of a spot in the lineup alongside his Conference rivals?
– Big reception for the four hometown Muskegon Lumberjacks – forwards Adam Chlapik, Matt DeBlouw, Jordan Masters, and defenseman Mark Yanis. Encouraged by the local support, all four played very solid games, specifically DeBlouw, who may have been the best player on the ice. His play simply got stronger as the game went on.
– Whenever you take in a showcase game like this, you wonder “Who will steal the show?” Michaelson, Farley, and Baillargeon all started very strongly but couldn’t sustain their high level of play and by the end of the game, all three were non-factors.
– Who did stand out? I DeBlouw and his Lumberjack teammates, but Kevin Roy (Lincoln) was impressive in terms of gaining the offensive zone with the puck, and showed off some impressive hands. West Defenseman Brian Cooper (Fargo) was rock steady the entire game, using his quickness to stifle attacks and create opportunities, and even at five-foot-nine he wasn’t afraid to step up and hit players from East in open Ice. Jaccob Slavin (Chicago) showed impressive poise and mobility on Team East, using an active stick to defend his net, and moving the puck up ice when he had puck possession.
– With the absences of Girgensens and Matheson, the eyes were firmly fixed on Event Headliner Jordan Schmaltz (Green Bay), and while he showed off some of his abilities – the mobility and soft hands that make him an offensive threat from the blueline – he also showed signs of being careless in his own zone and reading the play poorly. There was more than one occasion where he was on the backcheck trailing the play because of a poorly timed pinch, or a rush up ice that never worked out. What can be said about Schmaltz is that he is certainly has intriguing potential.
The Future:
The consensus among fans, players, coaches, and scouts was that the first Top Prospects Game was a success, despite some ill-timed injuries to notable players and somewhat lukewarm attendance.
The game itself was fantastic, the concept and exposure brilliant and noteworthy, and with more and more incarnations of it, the USHL will ideally get the recipe right, to where this Top Prospects Game is as high profile as its cousin in the Canadian Hockey League. That could involve the inclusion of some of the United States National Team Development Program players at some point.
The goal of the game, to give exposure to the league and more specifically its draft-eligible players, was accomplished. Thirty-three of the players in the Top Prospects Game have NCAA commitments, which is the ultimate goal of the USHL- to send players to college. Now with the successful initial showcase in the books, the league may begin to have more of its players hear their names called during the Entry Draft the following Summer.
While nothing has been set in regards to where the next edition of this event will be played, there is some belief that will be staged in the various cities in the USHL map. One thing is for sure, the hockey community is already waiting for the next USHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.

Why Nasscom needs a new programme
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
While a large section of its 1,250-plus members is from its core constituency -- IT services and software companies -- a large number of its new members are not from the same pack, writes Sudin Apte.
In the past 20 years, as the nascent offshore information technology services market evolved and forayed into the mainstream, evolving client expectations and competitive realities forced Indian IT companies to change.
The National Association of Software and Services Companies, the representative industry body, has also evolved with the changing industry dynamics, and it now faces the urgent need to transform again.
Given the massive structural changes in industry composition, market economics, and the changing overall role of IT in itself, the challenge this time, however, is of a scale more mammoth than ever in the past.
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
Before debating on what it needs to do to transition itself to the new role, Nasscom should address a core issue -- that is, answer in an unambiguous way exactly whom it represents and whose cause it is expected to fight.
While a large section of its 1,250-plus members is from its core constituency -- IT services and software companies -- a large number of its new members are not from the same pack.
These new members, such as online retailers, travel agencies and multinational back offices, surely do businesses that leverage IT, but they are not in businesses of IT outsourcing, software or business process outsourcing.
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
A close review of its apex governing body (Executive Council), various forums it runs, such as internet working group and captives, its top sponsors at events it hosts, and Nasscom's own commentary on these various subjects clearly indicates Nasscom's multiplicity of goals.
To remain relevant to its core constituency, it is of utmost importance that Nasscom sharpens its focus.
At the moment, I would like to assume that this top industry body will concentrate on its core territory, software and services.
I feel there are six issues it needs to focus on as key objectives of its transformation:
Extend its initiative of industry-academia collaboration.
Irrespective of the hype around intellectual property (IP)-based solutions, more than 95 per cent of work India does today is people-centric.
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
Skills of college freshers are not aligned with industry requirements.
Companies invest in training for almost six months before assigning the person to a client engagement.
Nasscom should work with technical colleges to align syllabi to newer requirements, ensure they have quality facilities and high-standard faculty.
The initiative needs to be continuous and result-oriented.
Redefine government interaction.
Although policy advocacy, working with authorities for industry benefits like tax benefits are important and should continue, Nasscom should work with government to encourage, facilitate and accelerate eGov or citizen services projects.
It will not only create more opportunities for its members and help society, but will also boost the technology appreciation and penetration across the country.
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
But looking at a few over-crowded locations like Bengaluru, Delhi or Pune, it is clear that much more needs to be done to develop several other locations like Nagpur, Mohali, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneshwar, and so on.
This will not only help reduce the costs of operation, but also help manage staff attrition at lower levels.
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
Although IT companies believe that the industry is moving up the value chain and the future lies in high-end services and IP-led solutions, most clients and governments abroad still view the offshore industry as job stealers.
The industry needs to be much more proactive to educate clients on the value it delivers and the innovation it can bring to help companies become efficient.
Today, one sees weak arguments and limited branding exercises by industry and the association.
Encourage small and medium-sized member companies to build core functions like strategic marketing, corporate planning and international business operations.
'Client-pushed' business has stopped.
There is intense competition for every dollar.
Firms need to think more strategically, and make their value proposition more sophisticated.
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
But there are limited trained resources and experienced executives available today. Nasscom should take initiatives like creating marketing and strategy peer groups for building best practices (at least in non-competing areas) and leverage international institutions for producing business-focused resources (and not mere technical resources).
Create a new structure that meets the aspirations of its key stakeholders, and build a model that allows partnerships with relevant groups that leverage IT, rather than trying to do it within Nasscom.
The association should play the role of an apex body and promote these new-age companies, back offices of multinationals, and other technology firms to create their own organisations. Rather than trying to serve every industry -- whether it is a US or European bank's back office or online retailer, anyone that uses technology -- it should collaborate with newer associations and working groups.
This will allow Nasscom to serve its core constituency better, while benefiting from working with these new-age companies that, strictly speaking, are not IT services/BPO or software companies.
Why Nasscom needs a new programme
Nasscom revealed its Strategic Review 2013 on Monday, its signature event India Leadership Forum started on Tuesday, the election process to form its new executive council is on, and study groups are submitting their recommendations on what shape the country's top IT body should take.
At the same time, its most core constituents are looking for more transparent debate on the subject and expect representation in decision-making.
Recent announcements of a group of 30 product companies (iSpirt) or rising aspirations of city-level initiatives like the Hyderabad International Convention Centre or the Software Exporters' Association of Pune have clearly indicated that all their needs are not being addressed by Nasscom in today's form and function, so it urgently needs to transform.

“Whatever that exists in this World, exists in this story and whatever that doesn’t, it either exists anywhere”. This was Vyasa’s quote on his book ‘Jaya’ widely popular as Mahabharata. Obviously he was talking about the knowledge and wisdom that the story has to offer and also about the intricacies of humans and their relationships. Seldom he would have thought that the same is applicable to India today.
If someone consolidates all the news about India on a given day, it would be so overwhelmingly astonishing to observe that there is literally nothing that you can image that you cannot find it in there. A mother killing her only child, a daughter being raped by a father, person killed for a penny, student abused by teacher, teacher shot by a student, wife killing her husband, husband burning his wife, student committing suicide, people of same language fighting amongst each other, war over property, demand for separate state, atrocities of the minority, religious fanaticism, etc., the list is so long and unending that even Gods above would spend their entire life gulping it.
It is no wonder that India remains the only place on the planet which is pluralist. The gamut of cultures, religions, races, traditions, languages, all contribute to its rich vibrancy and simultaneously participate into its myriad problems.
On a given day, everything under the sky happens in India. The corrupt politicians still live in their 80’s, more than national life expectancy eating national resources like mud worms, raping their own children and sleeping with their own mothers.
On a given day, if God has to decent on earth and clean the sinners, he would ask for two days, one for India and the other for the rest of the world.
So I mentioned about a movie and why I liked it a lot is what follows now.
The movie’s name is ‘Anukokunda Oka Roju’ roughly translates to ‘One day by coincidence’. The director (actually the story writer) portraits a missing day from the protagonist’s life and depicts how it changes her life, fortunately for good. But the underlying message was bigger, bold and possibly the closest to what India is now. The movie starts with a problem, drugs, moves to murders and finally ends up with a cult underground group who follows a mad person who believes that he speaks to God. While extortion, drugs, murders inflict damage sometimes to individuals and groups, God has greater influence on mankind specially so in India. The so called Godsman (the mentally retarded fellow in the movie) are more dangerous that aforementioned tidbits. We have recently seen news articles about Kalki Bhagawan as well as Swami Nityananda and the excitement it has generated. As long as common public follows people like Kalki and Nityananda, the damage continues and people get corrupted. Corrupted because, they have already lost self-confidence and self-belief. Corrupted because they do not trust a fellow citizen but blindly follows a person who indulges in inhuman activities. Corrupted because they forgot God and believe in a person who believes that he or she is a God.
I always fight with my Dad over God. While he blindly believes that having trust in God would solve any problem, I trust in what we should do. Contradictions are human characteristic and by no means a hindrance towards progress, but when it stops constructive ideas, it becomes a burden. While I always believed that God lies within each person and it is not magic that define him but worship of work does. Indians always believed in God the most and I am no exception, however my depiction differs from lot of other people and it is not a sin.
On one side I see that ISRO is planning a second mission to moon the other side of the coin has faces like KCR, MNS, Bal Thackarey and other terrorists who does not stop their routine to disturb normal fabric of society and its functions. Professor Kodandaram who is spearheading the JAC of Telangana movement must have looked into a mirror several times and yet have not realized that he is no more a human being now. News of innocent students either murdered or commit suicide in the name of Telangana shows how immature our society is and the hyena politicians are always ready to live like parasites.
Everyday I make it a point to read news, both US and India. Its more of an obsession than knowledge mining and of course NEWS in reality is more gossip than happenings. There is more ‘creation’ than reporting and “I am mislead” is no misnomer.
News from India is more disturbing than anywhere else. Two reasons, one being the fact that my roots are from India and my most near and dear still live in India and secondly my inclination towards India being one of the global powers on the world map. When Rakesh Sharma was in space to become the first Indian ever to have gone into terrestrial space, he was relaying back to Earth his views and experience and the then PM Indira Gandhi have asked him “How does India look like from the outer space?”, his answer was more than a statement and experience which goes “Mera Bharat Mahan”. The sense of pride attached to it go a long way not just encompassing the achievement but a feeling that comes right from one’s heart rather than head.
Unfortunately, I cannot simply glance and let the news go by without forcing myself to plant a thought in my head and scar my heart almost every day. The incidents that trigger are so backward in thinking and ridiculous in nature that I sometimes wonder..IT COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN INDIA. ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’ is now a small sentence that adore Incredible India! campaign and some tourism books.
There is no doubt that I am very proud for being born as Indian and shared its rich glory, tradition, culture, good, bad and what not for 25 long years. No amount of thanks or deed shall replace that pride nor value for being one. But, true to my heart, can I say now proudly “I was an Indian”, I do not know? This very question forms the basis of thought process that the Indian society is going to a place that no single heart wants to, honestly. Progress should not be measured with green bucks, cars and multi-plex theater complexes or the glittering shopping malls. Economy does not reflect people’s progress nor the society’s. Did we grew in our tradition, values, culture? is what one has to ask oneself, day in and day out. Look at our politicians, majority of them are murderers, petty thieves, roadside goondas, rowdies, pimps and everything even a shit-eating pig would be down with shame. How are they cropping up? How do they influence the society? How bad is India looted? Only questions and no answers.
Shiv Sena wants to stop Shah Rukh Khan’s new movie as they think he is less patriotic? What bullshit is this. Are we even living in a society? These bastards should be hanged in public, burned in broad day light and dragged on the streets like pigs. MNS wants to employ only Marati speaking public (are they OK if that guy is even a terrorist?). Ridiculous as they sound, it is people’s inability and ineffectiveness that made these political bastards grow strong. They go beyond politics and restore entirely on rowdyism.
The problem that we face in India internally is neither terrorism, maoists, economy, poverty, under development and any other paraphernalia attached in the upliftment of society. The problem lies with politicians, the problems lies in creation of these politicians, the problem lies in making politics because of these politicians. They make laws (that they do not abide), they write amendments (that suite them) and they dictate how the society should operate (they are limitless). The judicial, legislative and executive branches of the government in a Democratic society have to work in tandem for people and people only.
Being a plurarist society India can least afford division based on language, caste, creed, religion or race. Be it a Hindu fundamentalist party like Shiv Sena or a completely Islamic MIM, political parties should never have existed on the basis of religion. On top it, we already have multitude of languages and political bastards like KCR in Andhra Pradesh try to cash in the innocent sentiments of people and float a party on the basis of language and region. We often boast that the first rays of knowledge rose from India and its a cradle for the Human evolution, but how far back have this been true to their qualities? Today’s society is either careless or compromising. They have adopted a very dangerous habit of living under lies and betrayal. Politicians often work for their individual benefit and are always hungry for power. Back in 80’s a political fiasco to the tune of Rs.1 Crore was often considered treason, while in 90’s it has progressed to tens of crores of rupees. Advancement of global economy and its flat structure have inflated those to thousands of crores in the current decade. People neither have time nor interest in pursuing these vital drains in our economy. I can bet my cents on how huge the Swiss bank illegal savings would be owned by Indian politicians, few countries combined GDP will be dwarfed low enough to put up their shame. The society is now inflicted either with politicians who are power hungry and continue to build their empires on tax-payers money or politicians who wish to establish themselves as leaders of community split on the lines of religion, etc. Both these forms of political leadership should be considered no less to terrorism.
Terrorism relies mostly on religious fanaticism followed by mass infliction of pain, terror, destruction. It is often targeted and reactive, if not always. Politicians on other hand are disease ridden rascals, who inflict greater destruction of people, society and its structure; a disease irreparable and uncured always running after free money and sensitive fabric of human society. It is often debatable the in India does terrorism cause greater damage or politicians, the later always wins the war by huge margin. Religious fundamentalists like Thackeray of Shiv Sena often relies on strengths of rhetoric provocation and going after people who either are humble to their profession or does not have an impasse to events that trigger social instability. This irresponsible behavior is often met with resistance from people who are already deprived of their fundamental rights over powered by rowdyism and crushing feet activism.
There is a sense of urgency needed to repair the society bugged by these political clad. Not too mindful to compare human problems with a movie, I take a small leaf out of a cinema that I happened to like a lot and is like couple of years old.
My sincere apologies for Goats and Pigs as I am about to compare them with people. I know that they deserve better status in the ecosystem but unfortunately they have become slang for human behavioral patterns.
Goats
Few people of Telangana (mind it, they are not citizens of India as they do not show any respect to the land of the law) have supposedly sacrificed their lives hearing the news that KCR has been remanded to custody. So dear goats, do you really care about KCR that you put him before your life which you owe to your family and parents? Either you are stupid or you are mentally retarded, any way the world would not mourn for such idiots in the first place, but pity your decision did hurt your family members, so you are better off not staying on this planet and thank you. Some other goats (again people) disrupted normal life of other fellow citizens by declaring so called ‘Bandh’. I do not know what constitutional right gives them the authority to stage such acts and where the keepers of law and order are? You have to actually beat a goat to follow a person (coming up shortly) like KCR.
Pigs, sorry Pig
Now there are people who are equivalently moron but differ themselves in dictating to goats. KCR is one such person. A criminal by constitution he had long forgone his human nature and turned a pig, BIG. His Telangana movement is so flawed and simultaneously a laughter. His ambition to become CM for at least some part of the land has made him turn a crook and kept him in the law books under various acts of crime, no less than kidnapping, robbery, murder, pimp and flesh trade. His people cheating act of fast-unto-death on November 29th was such a shameless act that I am even ashamed of comparing him with a pig as at least it contributes something to the ecology around us. People even eat port, but this bastard is worthless, his blood in blue.
Politics
The above two, didn’t get it. Goats+Pigs.

So TWD and I picked ourselves a song a while back. I’ve written about it before. It’s a bachata version of Stand by Me by Latin artist Prince Royce. We tried to request it on the cruise during Latin Night but the DJ spoke neither English nor Spanish and wasn’t so much of a DJ…
You know how there are some songs that just take you back? I know, I know—I’m still only 26; the real grownups amongst you are going to want to smack me for even invoking the phrase “take you back”—but even in my limited years upon this earth I like to think I’ve enjoyed my fair…

Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday outlined an infrastructure project pipeline worth more than Rs 102 lakh crore to be implemented over the next five years, which, she said, will serve as one of the key drivers of faster economic growth and the government’s ambition of turning India into a $5 trillion economy by 2024-25.
The projects have been classified under two broad categories — economic infrastructure and social infrastructure for both ease of doing business and ease of living, Sitharaman told reporters, unveiling the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) on the last day of 2019.
ALSO WATCH | Sitharaman launches infra pipeline to double investment to Rs 105 trillion
NIP is a booklet prepared by a task force that gives details of infrastructure projects in which the energy sectors make up the lion’s share of 24%, followed by roads (19%), urban development (16%) and railways (13%). The shares of rural and social infrastructure projects, which include health, education and drinking water, is 8% and 3%, respectively.
The government hopes the massive investment will help spur economic growth, which decelerated to 4.5% in the quarter ended September, the slowest pace in six years and the sixth consecutive quarterly decline in a row. The finance ministry has taken 32 measures since August to boost the economy, including corporate tax cuts at a cost of Rs 1.45 lakh crore to the exchequer to attract investments and about Rs 5 lakh crore in disbursal of bank loans since October to spur demand.
Sitharaman said private companies will account for 22%-25% of the investments and the balance will come from the Centre and the states in equal proportions. She said the task force prepared the NIP in record time, holding 70 conferences of entities engaged in various sectors, and the government will examine its recommendations to take speedy action.
The task force was constituted to draw up the NIP under the chairmanship of the economic affairs secretary after Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 15 announced the intent of the government to make massive investments in infrastructure.
The task force held its first meeting in September 2019.
“I’m happy to say that the promise which Prime Minister made during his Independence Day speech 2019... within the end of the year, we have kept the promise,” she said.
Modi said in his Independence Day speech that India needed to build modern infrastructure to reach global standards. “So we have decided to invest 100 lakh crore rupees for modern infrastructure in this time period. This will generate employment; will develop new systems and various aspirations will be met,” he had said from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
Out of the total expected capital expenditure of Rs 102 lakh crore, projects worth Rs 42.7 lakh crore (42%) are under implementation, projects worth Rs 32.7 lakh crore (32%) are in the conceptualisation stage and the rest are under development , a finance ministry statement said. “It is expected that projects of certain states,who are yet to communicate their pipelines, would be added to the pipeline in due course,” it said.
“To achieve the GDP of $5 trillion by 2024-25, India needs to spend about $1.4 trillion (Rs 100 lakh crore) over these years on infrastructure. In the past decade (FY2008-17), India invested about $1.1 trillion on infrastructure,” the statement said.
Niranjan Hiranandani, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India, said: “The finance minister has unveiled Rs 102 lakh crore of infra projects over the next five years, it will create new jobs, support related industries as also enhance the nation’s growth into the $5 trillion economy. It dovetails with other positive moves which the Indian Government has recently unveiled, and the positive effects should be visible sooner rather than later.”
He said the implementation of public-private partnership project will be key, noting that “private players are still facing an acute credit crunch” and the government needs to address the issues confronted by private entities.

Lawsuit Settlement Hit
November 26, 1985
Four senators asked the Interior Department yesterday not to go ahead with a proposed settlement of a lawsuit filed by the Westlands Water District in California until the interior secretary answers questions about it.
In a letter to Interior Secretary Donald P. Hodel, the senators asked whether the settlement would continue the unauthorized federal irrigation water supply to 156,000 acres and whether the public would get a chance to comment on the proposed settlement.
Interior Department spokesman Carl Gagliardi said he was unaware of any plans to publish the settlement before Hodel decides whether to approve it.
The Westlands district sued the department in 1978 to force its Bureau of Reclamation to make a permanent contract to replace temporary agreements supplying water to the disputed acreage.
Former Interior secretary James G. Watt concluded that the water could not be provided without congressional authorization.
The senators said the 1982 Reclamation Reform Act required that new water contracts and amendments to existing contracts be open to public participation, and asked Hodel whether he intended to submit the Westlands agreement "for public scrutiny" before approving it.
The group of senators pointed to news reports indicating that "the agreement will provide water to Westlands past the year 2000 at less than $10 an acre foot, a fraction of its actual cost . . . . What is the justification for such a generous subsidy?"
They also asked whether the agreement called for elimination of a projected $70 million deficit in Westlands' repayments to the federal government and whether the agreement addressed Westlands' responsibility for selenium contamination of the Kesterson Wildlife Refuge by irrigation runoff water. The senators also asked whether any environmental impact statements had been prepared.

At the Mercy of Idiots 4:Yahoos
In my earliest days of seriously reading on my own, which must've been during the ages of 10 or 11, my two favorite books were "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe and "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift. I can only guess how that came to be, since neither of these two English classics were from anywhere near my own times. Instead both works were already more than 200 years old, and curiously, they first saw the light of day nearly back to back -- "Crusoe" in 1719 and "Gulliver" a tad later in 1726.
I still have my copy of "Robinson Crusoe," or maybe just one of the several copies that I may have had. But its pages are so yellowed and fragile that I always hesitate even to open it. So it just sits on my shelf, a favored old friend to be lightly and reverently brushed with my fingertips every 20 years or so.
I wish I still had one of my first copies of "Gulliver's Travels," too, but I don't. "Robinson Crusoe" doesn't stray far from being mainly what it always was, an adventure tale giving all kinds of interesting details about being stranded for years on a small and otherwise uninhabited Pacific Isle. "Gulliver," on the other hand, is a work that can be read on several levels, from a children's story to an extremely deep and involved satire on a wide range of human failings that are still very much at work, and according to Wikipedia, it was also often amended and supplemented, even before Swift left the scene.
I guess I just had the simplest of the children's versions, but I would just want to see, to make sure. I know that all the satire just sailed over my head, and anyway at that age I was entranced mainly by all the really cool stuff, such as the part where a Brobdingnagian lady giant newly delivered of a baby nearly drowns poor little Gulliver when she showers him with a single squirt of mother's milk from her more enormous than usual mammary glands. You don't see that kind of thing often in a child's book of any era, and I thought it was out of sight, as you can tell from how it has stuck in my memory, to the extent that maybe that is the only thing that I can remember clearly from that section of the "Travels."
But another thing that I also remember, though only in the vaguest outline, was a part of the 4th and last part of the book, which, among other things, has to do with some thoroughly hideous and evil beings called "Yahoos" that physically had some resemblance to normal human beings but who these days would be prime candidates for incarceration in supermax prisons. And I vividly recall how a person, even a mere child, had to come away from reading those pages in firm and lifelong possession of the knowledge that the last thing one ever wanted to be was anything anywhere near as repulsive and unnecessary as a Yahoo.
Years later, then, when computers came in, I kept wondering why the Yahoo people chose that name for themselves, though I never made any effort to find out. I just supposed that for some strange reason they liked the sound of it and that they had never cracked a single page of "Gulliver's Travels." Otherwise they would know how badly they had slipped up in choosing that name -- a common disease of the computer pioneers, by the way, when it came to naming things, such as "mice" for those hand-held pointing implements, and continuing to call portable memory disks "floppies" when those early 5-1/4-inch discs, which indeed were a touch too flabby, were replaced by 3-1/2-inchers, which don't have any voluntary flexibility at all.
And now, with the sir-name of the current prime minister of Israel, we have additional evidence, if any had ever been needed, that Jonathan Swift was just as accurate in foretelling certain injuries that were to come as he was in excoriating the numerous ills of mankind.
Today, you have to wonder just what B. Netanyahoo -- pardon me, "Netanyahu" -- thinks he's doing. Have numerous American Congresspeople and even a President or two kissed his and other Israeli leaders' rings so often that this man has come to believe that he's the giant in a land of Liliputians, as in the first Book of "Gulliver's Travels." instead of being merely the worst of his namesakes in the fourth section of Swift's opus?
How can it be that even in their all-consuming eagerness to "get that nigra voted out of the White House at all costs," so many in this country are willing to overlook so completely -- provided that they know anything at all about recent history, which I guess can never be assumed -- how, more than anything else, B. Netanyahu's current actions suggest how devotedly he's been studying at the feet of one of his masters, in this case those of none other than the German Reichchancellor of 1939?
In his eagerness to push the U.S. into bringing widespread death and destruction to Iran on the grounds of nothing more than the mere suspicion that Iran is trying to produce the same nuclear weapons that both the U.S. and Israel itself already possess in profusion, Netanyahu's incessant pronouncements of Iran being an "existential threat" are exact replicas of the numerous charges that Herr Schickelgruber made of tiny, helpless Czechoslovakia being a "dagger pointed at Germany's heart." But in trying by might and main to get the U.S. to do his dirty work for him, Netanyahu is being more cowardly than even his mentor-from-beyond-the-grave, who at least never thought to have anyone other than himself to turn that "dagger" aside. Instead the Fuhrer's whole point was to have a pretense to act entirely on his own, and by naked brute force -- only to see himself and Germany reaping the whirlwind many times over just a few years later, at a gigantic cost to nearly all the rest of Europe and large chunks of North Africa and Asia as well.
Why then is it that so many in this country and in Israel can be so complacent in allowing Netanyahu to hustle them down the same all too obvious garden path?
It's because though he has a special claim to the name, he has a lot of compadres in the Yahoo persuasion on this side of the Atlantic as well. They share a big liking for the color of blood.

I've never read Gulliver's Travels- but now I want to! It sounds awesome! We have watched the latest movie of Gulliver's Travels because it was filmed down the road from us and the kids love it. It did not have any enormous mammary glands in it though. I will have to read the book now!

SummaryMore than the half of the world population is travelling yearly to different places in order to see and explore the various cultural heritages all over the world. That means there is a general and common interest in cultural heritages which are the traces of the past that need to be protected in order to help us to understand what we are today. Therefore it becomes an unavoidable exigency their conservation and preservation and the main factor that makes them survive is the manpower which consists of architects, restorers and craftsmen where craftsmen are the most critical element considering their contribution and their low level of education. The project was created due to the problems of restoration works which were caused by unskilled and uneducated craftsmen in the restoration sector.
The main aim of the project is reinforcing the education level of craftsmen as weakest ring in restoration, by using new methodologies and to building up a module of education in European standards by trying to grasp the common points between different applications in different countries. Craftsmen are not able to reach education possibilities in a desirable way because of dissimilarities such as age groups, socio-economical levels, geographical or cultural situations. On one hand the difficulty of craftsmen in attending easily classroom basis education programs on the other hand disparities of educational systems between different cultures make unequal their level of knowledge and competence.
This project is aiming to create, in partner countries, generally in Europe, an accessible educational system enriched by visual elements and simulations which will allow craftsmen also to observe different restoration practices in different countries. In the first year of the project the needs of the target group and target sector in Turkey, Poland, Italy and France and the current Education systems about restoration were analysed. This analysis was reported and published. The Education contents have been preparing based on this report. The education contents are formed on five different modules under the basic headings of Wood, Metal, Stone and Masonry. The parts of “glossary”, “masterknacks” and “further information” which support the Education content will take place. The content will be in two systems as e-test and e-book. The member of target group, who will take Education via e-book, can do self- assessment using the e-test. The student can take education appropriate to his level and needs in short time without getting bored. The education contents are being prepared and after being evaluated by the “advisory group” which is consist of the members of target group will be passed to the eLearning system, and then they will be tested by target group members in partner countries. At the end of the project “Help Desk” and “Handbook” which will guide the users of eLearning will be produced. The project partners; P1 (Promoter: Pera Fine Arts) is the promoter of the project and mainly responsible management of the project but at the same time it has responsibility implementation of the project like analysing of the TG and TS sector needs, organisation of the eLearning, production of handbook and help desk together with P2, testing of eLearning, dissemination, volarisation and exploitation of the project, organisation of the partner meetings and final dissemination conference. P1 is one of the biggest training institutions of Istanbul / Turkey about vocational training and arts and it has a continuous training institute, a high school, an art gallery and a theatre. P2, ESTA Bildungswerk from Germany is the technical partner of the project and has responsibility to set the web site, forum, eLearning, help desk and handbook. P3, Budowlani Trade Union from Poland has nearly 2000 members and it has a great role to disseminate the project results and testing them. P4 (Ecole d’Avignon – France), P5 (Palazzo Spinelli Instituto / Italy), P6 (The State Higher Vocational School in Nysa / Poland) and P7 (Ege University Bergama Technical and Business College Restoration and Conservation / Turkey) have the most important role in the project. They have been working on the analysis of the TG and TS members’ needs, current education systems, writing the content, getting feedback of the “advisory group”, testing the eLearning and dissemination.
The project web site, www.reseltam.eu is online now and ready for publication. It has explanation of the project, partnership, links with related organisations, glossary, forum, reports and news. It has also “bazaar” section which is another outcome of the project. Bazaar aims to get together the members of the sector and craftsmen together and create a pathway to reach them easily.
The project will assure in short term the education of craftsmen, in long term the acquisition of a standard education system, the sharing of different restoration practices in different countries, the standardization of the quality of the restoration work.
DescriptionThe Project has been started since November, 2008. Now we are in the third stage of whole Project duration (every stage includes six months). The first stage was mainly about curriculum development. In the first stage the events which are listed in following are realized;
- 1. transnational partnership meeting
- Partners contracts has been signed
- Data Management Serves has been set up (DMS aims to set up a common portal sharing the datas in the partnership)
- Partners presented the reports about their own curriculum about the restoration-conservation in the first partnership meeting.
- The common points of the e-learning were defined.
- The questionnaires which were used during the Target Group and Sector survey were developed.
- The analysis on TG and TS members were realized.
- The results of the analysises were reported by the related partners.
- VET provider partners implemented a survey about the current education systems and curriculums about restoration in their countries.
- The analysises were reported by the related partners.
- P5 and P4 prepared a report about the ECPL project and outcomes.
- The partners were trained about administrative and financial process of the project.
- The steering committee members were defined.
- The logo of the project was designed and selected.
- It has been started to design the project’s web site and the first edition was published.
- The “data-base” has been started to develop during the survey.
- The new silent partners have attended to the project.
- It has been started to select the piloting stage participants.
- It has been started to set up the “advisory group”.
The dissemination activities have been started (press releases, meetings, workshops, web sites, search engineers, etc.)
The second stage was mainly about curriculum design (between April – October 2008) and following activities were reliased;
- Second partner meeting was held in April in Warsaw.
- The curriculum design has been started.
-It has been started to combine the content and technical structure.
- The development of the content has been continuining.
- The main report about the Target Group and Target Sector has been prepared.
- The additional, technical meeting was realized in Berlin, in the 1st of August, 2008.
- The silent partner analysis has been continuing.
- The designed and upgrading of the web site has been continuing.
- The dissemination activities have been continuing.
At the end of October, the project will be reached to mid-term. That means the mid-term report has to be prepared. Now the most important issue of the project is the development of the content. All VET provider partners have a role in the development stage. The tasks were divided between partners in Warsaw meeting. P2 has to prepare the technical structure and in parallel with the web site. P3 has to control the prepared content with the Target group and sector members. P4 has to prepare a part of the content called “masonry”. P5 has to prepare another part of the content called “stone”. P6 has to prepare another part called “wood” and tha last part will be produced by P7 and called “metal”. All parts will have a special “glossary” which will support the users to understand the curriculum, and a “master knacks” part which will give further information which are known by the masters or the craftsmen informally about the subjects, and “job security” which gives information about the health and safety rules about special subjects. After finishing the first editions of the content (the masonry part has already finished), it will be checked by the partnership. Then it will be translated into the partners’ languages (except German) and circulated to the “advisory group” to get their feedbacks. At the same time the technical structure will be done. We are planning to finish all these steps at least at the end of third stage, end of April. In the first stage the piloting stage, finalisation of the outcomes and dissemination-volarisation activities will be the main issues. We are planning to finish the project in a final seminar at Florance in a international restoration and conservation fair but it is not certain yet.

His appealingly layered guitar playing and honest lyrics are just the pure expression of a unique musical vision, not some calculated product.
Rosales is already an acknowledged force in the rock/folk scene. His intelligent songwriting, which draws as much from pop as from jazz, classical, rock, jam, and folk, has been the basis for three well-received albums in his eight-year solo career. Fatigue, in 1997, introduced his intricate guitar lines, interwoven with intimate lyrics. His Earth and Shoal EP in 2001 added a maturity and depth of experience.
With 2004's Resistor, Rosales' songwriting has gained even greater resonance. Fueled by critical praise and airplay on hundreds of radio stations, Rosales is reaching out to fans nationwide. As an artist, he is poised for a major breakthrough, and it all builds from experience.
Rosales has been playing guitar since his mid-teens. By his own admission, he was "somewhat of a nerd who gravitated toward the more abstract and technically challenging pieces." His early affinity for complex musical structure is evident in his playing style, which blends catchy pop hooks with some unexpected musical flourishes.
Rosales describes his style as "rock music run through an avant garde folk filter," but it's easy to hear a vast array of other, subtler influences underscoring his take on folk and rock. His extensive background in classical music and jazz can be heard in his intricate, contrapuntal arrangements. His guitar work conjures ghosts of the blues and invokes modern masters of high technical ability. Listening to Rosales alternately calls to mind Trey Anastasio, Ellis Paul, Collective Soul and Adam Duritz with all of their varied and inherent skills.
But a virtuosic delivery is not Rosales' only musical accomplishment.
. . His music has garnered broad attention. He has opened for indie-rock mainstays Vertical Horizon and Modern English, for instance.
The single Sweetest Thing from Earth and Shoal was included on CMJ's "Certain Damage" CD and was featured on National Public Radio in Chicago. Initially, this release edged out Smashing Pumpkins for the top spot in Ohio's WMRU radio play rotation. Fervent fan support has landed three singles from Resistor in the Top 10 on Garageband.com's survey of the "best guitars of all time" in the folk/rock genre.
But being a "guitar pyrotechnician" is not what he's about, and being the next pop idol is also not at the top of his list. He's all about recording his lush, rootsy music, brilliant and humble.
And there is no doubt he has all the talent to back it up. - Trevor Plum Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply..

Steph Houghton, the captain of England and Manchester City, and Kirsty Pearce, the captain of Reading were the two who had to take part in the centre circle.
McNamara has been suspended for three weeks by the governing body from November 26. He has the right to appeal the decision.
The FA's women's refereeing manager Joanna Stimpson said earlier this month: 'The referee forgot his coin and in that moment, in a TV game, he was really pushed for time, it was a moment of madness.
'He obviously thought it was the right thing to do, he probably walked away, or the second afterwards, thought it wasn't the right thing to do.
'It's not defendable. He should have been more prepared, he should have had a coin but he didn't. It was disappointing, it's not appropriate, it's very unprofessional.
'The laws of the game state you toss a coin. I can't think it's something we are going to ignore. He wasn't taking the mick out of the game, it was just a really poor decision.'
It happened before the Women's Super League match between Manchester City and Reading
McNamara mainly takes charge of matches at National League North level, although he has refereed two matches in the Women's Super League this season.
He was also the fourth official for the 2-2 draw in the FA Cup first round between Chorley and Doncaster Rovers at the weekend.
An FA spokesman said: 'The FA can confirm that referee David McNamara has been suspended for 21 days, starting from Monday 26 November, after accepting a charge of "not acting in the best interests of the game".
'This follows an incident in the WSL match between Manchester City and Reading on Friday 26 October when he failed to determine which team would kick off the match by the toss of a coin, as required by the Laws of the Game.
'McNamara will return to duty from Monday 17 December.'
McNamara, who works as a submarine warfare training officer for the Royal Navy, started refereeing in 2006. His father was a Football League assistant referee. He's also held a role at the Royal Navy FA as their referees vice chairman.

Google to bring standalone VR headsets to market this year
At its I/O developer conference,Google said it’s working with Qualcomm on a sample design so other manufacturers can build headsets.Bloomberg | May 18, 2017, 09:51 IST
For representational purposes onlyAlphabet’s Google plans to push virtual reality to more people by working with hardware partners on standalone headsets.
At its I/O developer conference on Wednesday, Google said it’s working with Qualcomm on a sample design so other manufacturers can build headsets that don’t require a connection to a smartphone or high-powered computer.
Current VR headsets, including Facebook’s Oculus Rift and Google’s own Daydream system, require a PC or phone. Google is working on standalone headsets with Lenovo Group and HTC and it is expected to begin hitting the market later this year.
Google also will expand its Daydream headset, which was announced last year alongside the Pixel smartphone. Samsung Electronics’s new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus phones will get Daydream support this summer while LG Electronics’s next flagship smartphone, expected this fall, will also support the Daydream device.
Virtual reality immerses users in an artificial world and initially has been taken up most actively for gaming.

KAQ’s obsession with cars led to his purchase of a Formula One Racing Team
The Luxembourg newspaper Luxemburger Wort reported Thursday that it has emerged that at the end of June no less than 90 police, accompanied by prosecutors and a federal judge launched a massive raid on the headquarters of the private bank Edmond de Rothschild (BPERE).
The scale of the operation against a financial institution was unprecedented the paper explained and it was linked to the bank’s involvement in 1MDB, described as “possibly the largest money laundering operations ever uncovered in the Grand Duchy”.
It means that yet another of the world’s most prestigious and in this case oldest banks has been caught red-handed over its willingness to handle the proceeds of grand-scale corruption from countries like Malaysia.
Before the raid, the Chief Executive Arianne de Rothschild (see featured image) had brushed aside journalists and laughed smugly when assured by her associates that she and her bank were “untouchable”. It was caught on camera.
The cause of the Luxembourg investigation lies with the banking transactions carried out by the bank CEO Marc Ambroisien on behalf of the now arrested former IPIC boss Khadem Al Qubaisi (KAQ).
Yacht Topaz – it is now evident that it was financed by money stolen from 1MDB
As earlier exposed by Sarawak Report, Ambroisien, who has now been sacked, managed a web of private companies for KAQ, both during and after his role as Chief Executive of the bank, using off-shore secrecy to hide their activities. Ambroisien remained director of these companies and also a number of French property holding companies on KAQ’s behalf until just a few days ago.
Sarawak Report has demonstrated how through these companies stolen 1MDB money was used to fund multi-million dollar payments for the purchase of the Topaz super-yacht attributed to the Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mansour, but used by KAQ and his circle of friends, including Jho Low and Leo di Caprio.
Cash also flowed into the shareholder company which owns the Hakkasan entertainment chain, which observers believe has seen over a billion dollars worth of investment over the past four years.
Spot the sponsorship logos! – After buying a 25% share in STR, the IPIC boss then organised sponsorship by CEPSA, Nova Chemicals and Falcon Bank, all of which he controlled
Another of the companies set up under KAQ’s Vasco Trust umbrella, managed by BPERE, was the Luxembourg-registered Mondrion, which bought a 25% share in the Italian Formula One racing team Scuderia Torro Rosso (STR) back in 2011.
That investment of 20 million euros took place not long after KAQ had made his first serious cash from “commissions” over the Barclays Bank bail out deal financed by IPIC, of which he was the CEO. Statements show that between 2010 and 2012 almost $100 million was funnelled into Vasco by KAQ.
Luxemburger Wort then detailed how the sovereign wealth fund entrepreneur then apparently used his influence as the CEO of IPIC to channel money into sponsoring the team in which he held such a significant private stake.
Indeed in 2013 speculation was rife that IPIC would buy up the whole team from majority owner Red Bull.
“The IPIC involvement is led by it’s boss Khadem Al Qubaisi, who has been a regular fixture at Grands Prix in recent years and informed paddock opinion sees this group becoming shareholders in a team soon, perhaps Toro Rosso, depending on Red Bull’s long term strategy for its junior team” [F1 commentary]
Pattern of conflict of interest
Analysis has shown that KAQ repeated this pattern, exhibiting a clear conflict of interest in his management of a number of the key companies he controlled within the IPIC group. Put simply, he employed public money from the sovereign fund that he managed to back projects in which he had privately invested.
Muscari, another Luxembourg company run by BPERE controlled the Cepsa tower building in Spain
The Financial Times has already revealed, for example, how he located the CEPSA headquarters in a building he himself had leased, thereby ensuring a very good return.
The extent to which this selfishly orientated decision-making affected the well-being of the fund is now being examined by Khadem’s successors in Abu Dhabi, where he has finally been put under arrest.
After all, Aabar is believed to have lost at least $50 billion from its original $70 billion cash base and the fund, along with its parent company IPIC, is now being merged with the country’s other sovereign fund Mubadala.
Sarawak Report has further exposed how KAQ used Aabar to finance his own company’s bid to buy out Europe’s most expensive building, the Santander complex in Madrid, and also to back a number of property ventures by his Tasameem Real Estate Company in New York. KAQ companies would take shares and Aabar would invest in the venture.
The KAQ obsession with fast cars, yachts, racing teams and other entertainments also appears to have featured as a major problem is this pattern of misappropriation
Indeed, one of the biggest loss-making enterprises into which Aabar poured hundreds of millions of dollars was Richard Branson’s Virgin Glactica project, which has collapsed after recent test-flight disasters.
Mixing business with pleasure, Branson joined up with KAQ’s party-loving crowd in Cancun.
Branson partied with KAQ in Cancun and was featured with one of his youthful friends at the resort on Facebook.
But the project went down in flames at enormous cost, as did so many of the other grandiose ventures.
In fact, the disastrous mismanagement of Aabar /IPIC and the arrest of its former boss KAQ amidst a developing multi-billion dollar scandal, may well turn into a key lesson for countries that are running sovereign wealth funds, which are headed by political figures and beset by weak corporate governance. Such organisations are set up to be corrupted.
But all this was well into the future when the youthful Jho Low first approached Prime Minister Najib in 2009 with his suggestion for a similar Arab-style sovereign wealth fund for Malaysia.
KAQ – Obsessed with fast cars and racing teams
Since 1MDB was immediately used to steal money, it is plain that his pitch had been that sovereign wealth funds are a proven method of diverting billions under the protective cover of ‘country to country’ joint ventures, diplomatic deals and top official oversight.
Once Najib took the bait, Jho Low was soon linking up with his pal from Aabar to join the plunder.
Now that both of these flamboyant, party-loving looters have come a cropper, Malaysia has perhaps just one thing to be thankful of, which is that 1MDB’s $7 billion missing is far less than what is now missing from Aabar.

Lavi was born in Krakow, Poland, and was 2 years old when World War II broke out. She was sent with her mother to the Krakow Ghetto and was then transferred to labor camps near Krakow, where she was picked to be on Oscar Schindler’s list.Lavi and her mother were transferred to Auschwitz concentration camp, where they lived in horrendous conditions for several weeks.
A particular moment during this dark time stands out for Lavi:
"One day, while all the women were together in a dark building, a female Nazi officer approached my mother and told her that I was to be taken away. My mother began to cry and scream. She wouldn’t let me go. But in Auschwitz it was impossible to refuse. My mother asked her where I was being taken and the officer promised I would be going to a good place. My mother did not understand. A good place? At Auschwitz? How could that be possible? But the officer again swore to my mother that I would be taken to a good place. And indeed, they took me to a very different place inside Auschwitz.
Nobody could believe it. The place was modern and clean, a rarity at Auschwitz where everything was dirty and black. At this new place there were only well-dressed children who almost looked good. I did not understand at all where I was. I felt that I may be in paradise. There were drawings on the walls, toys, clothes. The children were obviously sad because they were alone and without parents. It was 1944 and hunger was widespread, but in this place no one starved.
One day, the Nazis called us to come to dinner. The previous days we hardly ate. A slice of bread here, a potato there. That evening, they served us dinner and we ate so much. The next morning, once again, we had a real breakfast! The Nazis were so attentive that we thought that perhaps the war was over. For lunch, we were surprised as a table was prepared and we were dressed up.
We sat as three or four smiling kind men in civilian clothes entered. Each of the men sat alongside a child. I can still remember the smell of the potatoes they served for lunch. But we ate so much the day before that I could barely stomach anything. I was not hungry at all and I began to weep. The civilian who sat next to me asked, “What is the matter dear? Are you not hungry?” And I responded that no, I was not hungry. These men were actually from the Red Cross. All of the clothes, the food, the entire place was a false display of what was happening at Auschwitz. Crematoria? They weren’t seen. Lovely, well-dressed children who felt well and weren’t hungry, that is what the Red Cross Inspectors saw".
When all the people on Schindler’s List were collected, including Lavi, officials had their doubts about such a young girl working in a factory. But Schindler explained to them that he had taught her to handle a very specific job that only her small fingers could accomplish on the weapons.
She was later transferred to a camp in Czechoslovakia, where Schindler was responsible for her, and her life became much easier. It was here that she remained until the end of World War II.
After the war, Lavi made Aliyah and immigrated to Israel, where she lived on a kibbutz. She finished school and then joined the Israel Defense Forces. She served in the Air Force and met her husband, with whom she has two children and three grandchildren. Lavi still lives in Israel today and often travels to speak about the Holocaust.
Lavi holds a special place in her heart for the Israel Defense Forces: "Having experienced the horror of the camps, of Auschwitz, all the death and fear, I am always moved when I see our army, our soldiers, and our flag. I truly love the IDF with all my heart".

The pilot of a Lockheed Martin F-35A stealth fighter jet that crashed into the Pacific Ocean called an end to his training exercise just before the plane went down, it was learned Wednesday.
Japan's Defense Ministry has launched an investigation to determine the cause of Tuesday's crash, which will be carried out by the ministry's aircraft accident investigation commission. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force has requested the U.S. military's cooperation for the probe as well.
"I want to work toward preventing a recurrence as the investigation committee looks into the cause," Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya told reporters.
The downed jet was one of four F-35A planes to take off from Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture at about 7 p.m. Tuesday. It vanished from the JASDF's radar about 135 kilometers from the base over the Pacific after roughly 25 minutes. Iwaya confirmed earlier Wednesday that the aircraft had crashed.
The condition of the pilot, a major in his 40s with approximately 3,200 hours of flight time, including 60 hours in the F-35A, was unclear. The investigation committee will question the other three pilots who were involved in the training exercise.
This was the first time an F-35A had crashed anywhere in the world, according to the defense ministry. Japan grounded its other 12 fighters after the crash. The move will have no impact on its air defenses, however, because those planes were only deployed for training purposes.
The jets began to arrive at Misawa from January last year. The crashed aircraft was the first delivered plane, which was assembled at a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries facility in Aichi Prefecture from U.S. components.
Japan has gradually procured more F-35s, which the government considers its main next-generation fighter jet, as a replacement for the difficult-to-repair F-15.
The government will no longer use the term "lifelong singles" as a label for people who have not married by age 50, deeming the term inaccurate as Japanese are increasingly tying the knot later in life, officials said Thursday. (Japan Today)

Lost in Portland. Okay, not really lost, just unable to find the Sok Sab Bai restaurant. The last time I was here [daytime], it wasn’t yet open. This time after circling the block, in car and on foot we still couldn’t locate the place, (Google maps said we’d arrived!). Found Fifty Licks [ice cream] along the way. After walking up to a deserted house-like building there was the answer: It was closed. First it was the wrong time, now apparently the wrong day, seems like Sok Sab is only open 3 days a week. Still not entirely sure that’s correct. TBA* Ah, maybe the third time’s a charm.
Where to next? It was either Cambodian or pizza, so it was off to Ken’s Artisan Pizza. I had heard it was comparable and even better than Asholl’s Pizza (less wait time/pizza under $20/not so pretentious). The place was packed but cozy. We got there a bit late by my standards (obviously this wasn’t the first plan) so unfortunately a wait for seating was involved. The waiters happily obliged patrons who wanted to drink some wine while standing but I chose to stare at those already eating what looked to be such delicious pies. This place might be more accommodating to larger parties, or it was just super busy and hard to seat just two. Service seemed a little inefficient, but I could hardly care once we got to eating.
Appetizer: I’m always looking for delicious veggie options and this definitely brought something more creative to the menu. Three different offerings on the wood oven roasted vegetable plate. Two of them tied for my favorite, and the last one had flavors that I had never considered together, and am still not sure about.

Soppressata aka the “tomato sauce mozzarella basil and spicy Calabrese”. Spicy anything catches my eye, but I’ve also had a few Soppressatas to compare to.
Is this place worth the hype? The pizza breakdown– Toppings: generous salami and fresh aromatic herbs, authentic amount of cheese. Marinara base: Average, good but nothing spectacular; not a lot to judge on as there isn’t a crazy amount sloshed on. Crust: Chewy blistered goodness all around, thin Italian style similar to what I had in Florence!
Gotta love a place that offers chili pepper flakes… even if they aren’t actually “hot”–

"Uh, we've managed to secure three seats, but there might be a slight inconvenience as you will be riding on a cargo full of live poultry." "Is he kidding?" "Madam, it's the best i could do on such short notice." "Heavens, aren't you willie scott, the famous american female vocalist?" "Owe you a gin." "Nice try, lao che." "Good-bye, dr." "Jones." "So, what are you supposed to be, a lion tamer?" "I'm allowing you to tag along, so why don't you give your mouth a rest?" "Okay, doll?" "What do you mean, "tag along"?" "Ever since you got into my club, you haven't been able to take your eyes off me." "Oh, yeah?" "Oh, no... oh, no!" "Mister, mister... oh, mister, wake up." "Please, mister... you call him dr."

"Pankot is not on the way to delhi." "You will go to pankot palace." "I thought the palace had been deserted since, uh... the 1850s." "No." "Now there is a new maharaja, and again the palace has the power of the dark light." "It is that place kill my people." "What has happened here?" "The evil start in pankot... then like monsoon... it moves darkness... over all country... over all country." "The evil?" "What evil?" "See?" "Bad news." "You listen to suwamu." "You leave lanka." "Shh... they came from palace... and took sivalinga... from our village." "Took what?" "Lt's a stone... a sacred stone from the shrine that protects the village." "It is why siva brought you here." "We weren't brought here." "Our plane crashed." "It crashed." "No, no." "We prayed to siva to help us find the stone." "It was siva who made you fall from the sky." "So you will go to pankot palace to find sivilinga and bring back to us." "Bring back to us." "Bring back to us." "Bring back to us." "Dr. Jones, did they make the plane crash to get you here?" "No, shorty, it's just a ghost story." "Don't worry about it." "They took the stone from here." "Was the stone very smooth like a rock from a sacred river?" "Yes." "With three lines across it representing the three levels of the universe." "That's right." "Yes." "I've seen stones like the one you lost." "But why would maharaja take the sacred stone from here?" "They says we must pray to their evil god." "We says we will not." "Excuse me, i don't understand how one rock could destroy a whole village." "He's saying when the sacred stone was taken, the village wells dried up, and the river turned to sand." "The crops were swallowed by the earth, and the animals laid down and turned to dust." "Then one night there was a fire in the fields." "The men went out to fight the fire." "When they came back, the women were crying in the darkness." "Children." "He says they stole their children." "Sankara!" "Sankara... ranjit!" "Ranjit!" "Sankara." "Little boy escaped from the evil palace." "Many other children still there." "What we do, dr." "Jones?" "What you think?"

"Willie, quit monkeying around on that thing." "Oh, wait a second!" "Indy!" "I can't go to delhi like this!" "We're not going to delhi, doll." "We're going to pankot palace." "Pankot?" "!"

" I quit, too." "Oh, this place is completely surrounded." "The entire place is crawling with living things." "That's why they call it the jungle, sweetheart." "Oh, my god, what else is out there?" "Willie, wait... oh!" "Willie, willie... what is that?" "Is that short for something?" ""Willie" is my professional name, indiana." "Hey, lady, you call him dr." "Jones." "My professional name." "Why are you dragging us off to this deserted palace?" "Fortune and glory?" "Fortune and glory." "Well... this is a piece of an old manuscript." "This pictograph represents sankara, a priest." "Scram." "Gentle." "Gentle." "This is hundreds of years old." "Is that some kind of writing?" "Yeah, it's sanskrit." "Cut it out." "It's part of the legend of sankara." "He climbs mount kalisa where he meets siva, the hindu god." "That's siva?" "And what's he handing the priest?" "Rocks." "Stop." "He told him to go forth and combat evil." "And to help him, he gave him five sacred stones with magical properties." "Magic rocks?" "My grandpa was a magician." "He spent his entire life with a rabbit in his pocket and pigeons up his sleeves." "He made a lot of children happy and died a very poor man." "Magic rocks." "Fortune and glory." "Sweet dreams, dr." "Jones." "Where are you going?" "I'd sleep closer, if i were you." "For safety's sake." "Dr. Jones, i'd be safer sleeping with a snake." "I said, cut it out!" "I hate that elephant." "Indy, look!" "I see it, shorty." "That's it:" "Pankot palace." "Dr. Jones, what you look at?" "Don't come up here." "No!" "No, no, no, no!" "Don't leave!" "No!" "No, no, no, no, no!" "Oh, baby elephant, stay here!" "Oh, no!" "Indy!" "They're stealing our rides!" "We walk from here." "Hello." "I should say you look rather lost." "But then i cannot imagine where in the world the three of you would look at home." "We're not lost." "We're on our way to delhi." "This is miss scott." "This is mr." "Round." "Short round." "My name is indiana jones." "Dr. Jones, the eminent archaeologist?" "Hard to believe, isn't it?" "Ah." "I remember first hearing your name when i was up at oxford." "Oh." "I'm chattar lal, prime minister to his highness, the maharaja of pankot." "I'm enchanted." "Enchanted." "Thank you very much." "Thank you very much." "Welcome to pankot palace!" "Enchanted, huh?" "Shorty, where's my razor?" "We are fortunate tonight to have so many unexpected visitors." "This is captain blumburtt." "11th poona rifles." "And you, sir, are dr." "Jones, i presume." "I am, captain." "Captain blumburtt and his troops are on a routine inspection tour." "The british find it amusing to inspect us at their convenience." "I do hope, sir, that it's not, uh, inconvenient to you, uh... sir." "The british worry so about their empire." "Makes us all feel like well-cared-for children." "Ah... you look beautiful." "I think the maharaja is swimming in loot." "Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea coming here after all." "You look like a princess." "Mr. Lal, what do they call the maharaja's wife?" "His highness has not yet taken a wife." "How interesting." "Well, uh, maybe it's because he hasn't found the right woman." "His supreme highness, guardian of pankot tradition, the maharaja of pankot, zalim singh." "That's the maharaja?" "A kid?" "!" "Maybe he like older women." "Captain blumburtt was just telling me something of the interesting history of the palace... the importance it played in the mutiny." "It seems the british never forget the mutiny of 1857." "Yes, well, you know, i think there are other events... before the mutiny, going back a century, back to the time of clive..." "that are more interesting." "And what events are those, dr." "Jones?" "Well, if memory serves me correctly, this area, this province, was the center of activity for the thuggee." "Ah!" "Snake... surprise." "What's the surprise?" "Dr. Jones, you know perfectly well the thuggee cult has been dead for nearly a century." "Yes, of course." "The thuggee was an obscenity that worshipped kali with human sacrifices." "The british army nicely did away with them." "Well, i suppose stories of the thuggee die hard." "There are no stories anymore." "I'm not so sure." "We came from a small village." "The peasants there told us pankot palace was growing powerful again because of some ancient evil." "Village stories, dr." "Jones." "They're just fear and folklore." "You're beginning to worry captain blumburtt." "I'm not worried, mr." "Prime minister, just, uh... just, um, interested." "Ah... what?" "You are not eating?" "I had bugs for lunch." "Give me your hat." "Why?" "'Cause i'm gonna puke in it." "Oh!" "You know, the villagers also told us pankot palace had taken something." "Dr. Jones, in our country, it's not usual for a guest to insult his host." "I'm sorry." "I thought we were talking about folklore." "Excuse me, sir, do you have anything simple, like soup?" "What exactly was it they say was stolen?" "A sacred rock." "Ha!" "You see, captain, a rock!" "Ah!" "Ah... something connected... the villagers' rock and the old legend of the sankara stones." "Dr. Jones, we are all vulnerable to vicious rumors." "I seem to remember that in honduras you were accused of being a grave robber rather than an archaeologist." "Well, the newspapers greatly exaggerated the incident." "And wasn't it the sultan of madagascar who threatened to cut your head off if you ever returned to his country?" "No, it wasn't my head." "Then your hands, perhaps." "No, it wasn't my hands, it was my... my misunderstanding." "Exactly what we have here, dr." "Jones." "I have heard the evil stories of the thuggee cult." "I thought the stories were told to frighten children." "Later, i learnt the thuggee cult was once real and did of unspeakable things." "I am ashamed of what happened here so many years ago, and i assure you this will never happen again in my kingdom." "If i offended you... then i am sorry." "Ah, dessert!" "Chilled monkey brains." "Uh, i think i'll just check on willie." "That's all you better do." "Tell me later what happened." "Am-scray." "Ah." "I've got something for you." "There's nothing you have that i could possibly want." "Right." "Oh." "Mmm, mmm, mmm." "Mmm." "Oh, you're a very nice man." "Maybe you could be my palace slave." "Wear your jewels to bed, princess?" "Yeah." "And nothing else." "That shock you?" "Nothing shocks me." "I'm a scientist." "So, as a scientist, you do a lot of research?" "Always." "And what sort of research would you do on me?" "Nocturnal activities." "You mean like what sort of cream i put on my face at night, what position i like to sleep in?" "Mating customs." "Love rituals?" "Primitive sexual practices." "So you're an authority in that area?" "Years of fieldwork." "Oh." "I don't blame you for being sore at me." "I can be hard to handle." "I've had worse." "But you'll never have better." "I don't know." "As a scientist, i don't want to prejudice my experiment." "I'll let you know in the morning." "Why, you conceited ape." "I'm not that easy." "I'm not that easy, either." "Trouble with you is, willie, you're too used to getting your own way." "And you're just too proud to admit that you're crazy about me, dr." "Jones." "If you want me, willie, you know where you can find me." "Five minutes." "You'll be back over here in five minutes." "I'll be asleep in five minutes." "Five." "You know it, and i know it." "Five minutes." "Four and a half." ""Palace slave."" ""Nocturnal activities."" "I'm a "conceited ape"?" ""I'll tell you in the morning."" "I can't believe it." "He's not coming." "She's not coming." "She's not coming." "I can't believe i'm not going." "Indiana jones!" "This is one night you'll never forget!" "This is the night i slipped right through your fingers!" "Sleep tight... and pleasant dreams!" "I could have been your greatest adventure." "Dr. Jones, your whip!" " Shorty..." " huh?" "Turn off the switch." "Oh, indy." "Oh, be gentle with me." "Be gentle with me." "But i'm here." "There's nobody here." "No, i'm here." "Indy, you're acting awfully strange." "Hey, i'm right here." ""Follow in the footsteps of siva."" "What does that mean?" ""Do not betray these truths."" "Shorty, go get our stuff." "Stay behind me, short round." "Step where i step, and don't touch anything." "I step where you step." "I touch nothing." "Indy!" "I step on something." "Yeah, there's something on the ground." "Feel like step on fortune cookies." "It's not fortune cookies." "Let me take a look." "That's no cookies." "It's all right." "I got him." "Ow!" "Go." "There, go." "Stop." "Look, just stand up against the wall, will you?" "You say to stand against the wall!" "I listen to what you say!" "Not my fault!" "Not my fault!" "Willie, get down here!" "We're in trouble!" "Willie!" "Willie!" "Bet i get all dirty again." " Willie, get down here!" " Not my fault!" "We're in trouble!" "Trouble?" "Trouble?" "What sort of...?" "This is serious!" "There are two dead people down here!" "There're going to be two dead people in here!" "Hurry!" "I've almost had enough of you two." "Willie!" "What's the rush?" "!" "Lt's a long story, willie." "Hurry, or you don't get to hear it." "Ooh, god, what is this?" "Indy, what is this?" "I can't see a thing!" "Hurry!" "All right!" "Oh, i broke a nail." "Uh... uh... willie, hurry!" "They're in my hair!" "Aw, shut up, willie!" "Indy, let me in!" "No, let us out!" "Let me in!" "Let us out!" "Shut up!" "I'm down here!" "They're all over me!" "There's got to be a fulcrum release lever somewhere." "What?" "!" "A handle that opens the door." " Go on!" " They're just, just square holes!" "Go to the right hole." "Hurry, willie!" "Ooh... the other one!" "The other right." "Your other right!" "The one on your right!" "Oh, there's slime inside!" "I can't do it." "You can do it." "Feel inside." "Okay." "You feel inside!" "Do it now!" "Okay!" "Ooh!" "Ew!" "Willie, we are going to die!" "Lt's soft." "It's moving!" "Got it!" "Get 'em off of me!" "Get 'em off of me!" "They're all over me!" "Get 'em off me!" "Huh?" "No!" "It wasn't me!" "Lt's her!" "Huh?" "!" "Come on!" "Go!" "Move!" "Come on, move!" "Come on!" "It's a thuggee ceremony." "They're worshipping kali." "Have you ever seen anything like this before?" "Nobody's seen this for a hundred years." "Kali ma." "Kali ma... kali ma!" "He's still alive." "Kali ma. that's the rock they took from the village." "It's one of the sankara stones." "Why they glow like that?" "Shh, shh." "The legend says when the rocks are brought together, the diamonds inside them will glow." "Diamonds?" "Diamonds." " Diamonds!" " Shh." "Diamonds." "Hey, hey." "Look, i want you two to stay up here and keep quiet." "Shorty, you keep an eye on her." "Why, where are you going?" "Down there." "Down there?" "!" "Are you crazy?" "!" "I'm not leaving here without the stones." "You could get killed chasing after your damn fortune and glory!" "Maybe." "But not today." "Be careful." "Where's he going?" "Let me go...!" "Run, willie!" "Run!" "Dr. Jones!" "I keep telling you, you listen me more, you live longer." "Please, let me die." "I pray to siva," ""let me die," but i do not." "Now... now the evil of kali take me." "How?" "They will make me drink the blood of the kali." "Then i'll fall into the black sleep of the kali ma." "What is that?" "We become like them." "We'll be alive, but like a nightmare." "You drink blood, you not wake up from nightmare." "You were caught trying to steal the sankara stones." "There were five stones in the beginning." "Over the centuries, they were dispersed by wars, sold off by thieves like you." "Thieves like me, huh?" "Ha!" "Still missing two." "A century ago, when the british raided this temple and butchered my people, a loyal priest hid the last two stones down here in the catacombs." "So that's what you've got these slaves digging for, huh?" "They're innocent children." "They dig for the gems to support our cause." "They also search for the last two stones." "Soon we will have all the five sankara stones, and the thuggees will be all powerful." "What a vivid imagination." "You... don't believe me?" "You will, dr." "Jones." "You will become... a true believer." "Hi." "Dr. Jones!" "Don't drink... it's bad!" "Don't drink!" "Spit it out!" "Dr. Jones... you dare not do that." "Leave him alone, you bastards!" "The british in india will be slaughtered." "Then we will overrun the muslims." "Then the hebrew god will fall." "And then the christian god will be cast down and forgotten." "Soon, kali ma will rule the world." "Dr. Jones... kali ma protects us." "We are her children." "We pledge our devotion to her with an offering of flesh... what are you doing?" "!" "...and blood." "Your friend has seen..." "and she has heard." "Now she will not talk." "I'm not going to have anything nice to say about this place when i get back." "Indy!" "For god sakes, help me!" "Wh-what's the matter with you?" "No... no." "Come." "Come." "Indiana... indiana... help us." "Please, snap out of it." "You're not one of them." "You're not one of them." "Please come back to us." "Don't leave me." "No!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Are you mad?" "!" "Oh... oh, this can't be happening, this can't be happening." "Wake up, willie, wake up." "No!" "No!" "No...!" "No!" "No, no, no!" "Wake up, dr." "Jones, wake up!" "Dr. Jones!" "Indy, i love you." "Wake up, indy!" "Wake up!" "You're my best friend!" "Wake up, indy!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "He's mine!" "I'm all right, kid." "Mola ram!" "Give me some slack!" "Willie, willie, wake up!" "Willie, willie, it's me!" "I'm back!" "Oh, indy." "Indy... my friend." "I'm sorry, kid." "Indy... now, let's get out of here." "Right." "All of us." "No!" "I've got to save him!" "He can take care of himself." "He needs me." "I've got to save indy!" "Okay, save him." "Drop him down!" "I kill you!" "Drop him down!" "Whoa!" "What's the matter with him?" "Here." "Try this." "Go, indy!" "It was the black sleep of kali." "Short round!" "Quit fooling around with that kid!" "Get down in the cart, now!" "Okeydokey, indy!" "Please listen." "To get out, you must take the left tunnel." "Thank you." "Shorty!" "Quit stalling!" "Come on, indy!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Shorty, look out!" " Come on!" " Indy!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Hurry up!" "Indy, take the left tunnel!" "The left tunnel!" "No, indy!" "You missed it!" "Left tunnel!" "We got company!" "Stop." "Let her go!" " Let go of the brake." " What?" "What?" "Let her go." "Our only chance is to outrun them." " Shorty?" " Huh?" "Come up here and take the brake." "Watch it on the curves, or we'll fly right off the track." "Okay." "Yay!" "What are you doing?" "Short cut." " Yes, indy." " Short, cut." "Watch it!" "Indy, help!" " Hang on!" " Indy!" "Pull him in." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Let go of him!" "No!" "No!" "Pull him in!" " I'll catch him!" " No!" "Duck!" "All right." " What?" " Brakes." "Brakes." "Siow us down." "Okay." "Uh-oh." "Big mistake." "Big mistake, indy." "Figures." "We're going too fast!" "Too fast!" "We're going to crash!" "Water, water, water!" "Oh, look!" "Look there!" " Water!" " Fire!" "You're on fire!" "Water, water!" "Look... water, water." "Water, water." "Come on..." "come on!" "Let's go!" "Run, run!" "Willie, look out!" "No!" "Head for the bridge." "Go!" "Come on, willie, this way." "Oh, god." "Come on, let's go." "Strong bridge." "Come on, let's go." "Strong bridge." "Look... strong wood." "Come on!" "Look!" "Shorty!" "Help!" "I'm falling down." "Help!" "Not very funny." "Back!" "Welcome." "Ow!" "Let her go, mola ram." "You are in a position unsuitable to give orders." "Watch your back!" "You want the stones, let 'em go." "Let her go!" "Drop them, dr." "Jones." "They will be found." "You won't." "Indy!" "Behind you!" "Oh, shit." "Go on." "Go." "Go on!" "Go on!" "That way." "Shorty... hang on, lady." "We going for a ride." "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god." "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god!" "Is he nuts?" "He no nuts." "He's crazy." "Mola ram, prepare to meet kali... in hell." "What are you doing?" "!" "You fool!" "Indy, cover your heart!" "Cover your heart!" "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god." " Look out!" " No!" "No!" "Hurry!" "Let's go!" "The stones are mine!" "You've betrayed siva." "You betrayed siva." "You betrayed siva!" "Well, it's about time." "Hold your fire." "We know you are coming back when life return to our village." "Now you can see the magic of the rock you bring back." "Yes, i understand its power now." "You could've kept it." "Ah, what for?" "They'd just put it in a museum." "It'd be another rock collecting dust." "But then it would've given you your fortune and glory." "Anything could happen." "It's a long way to delhi." "No, thanks." "No more adventures with you, dr." "Jones." "Sweetheart, after all the fun we've had together?" "If you think i'm going to delhi with you, or anyplace else after all the trouble you've gotten me into, after all the trouble you've gotten me into, think again, buster!" "I'm going home to missouri where they never feed you snakes, before ripping your heart out and lowering you into hot pits!" "This is not my idea of a swell time!" "Excuse me, sir." "I need a guide to delhi." "If you could... oh... very funny." "Very funny." "Uh-oh."

No deposit casino is a highly responsibe institution.
As debts build up people turn to other sources of money such as theft, or the sale of drugs. A lot of this pressure comes from bookies or loan sharks that people rely on for capital to gamble with. Also, a teenager that does not receive treatment for pathological gambling when in their desperation phase is likely to contemplate suicide. 20% of teenagers that are pathological gamblers do consider suicide. This according to the article High Stakes: Teens Gambling With Their Futures by Laura Paul.
Abuse is also common in homes where pathological gambling is present. Growing up in such a situation leads to improper emotional development and increased risk of falling prey to problem gambling behavior.
Dopamine agonists, in particular pramipexole (Mirapex), have been implicated in the development of compulsive gambling and other excessive behavior patterns (e.g., PMID 16009751).
No deposit casino is a highly responsibe institution.
A casino is a facility that accommodates certain types of gambling activities. Casinos are often placed near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships and other vacation attractions. Some casinos are known for hosting live entertainment events, such as concerts and sporting events.
The term originally meant a small villa, summerhouse or pavilion built for pleasure, usually on the grounds of a larger Italian villa or palazzo.
Gambling advertising is the promotion of gambling by casinos, lotteries, bookmakers or other organisations that provide the opportunity to make bets. It is usually conducted through a variety of media or through sponsorship deals, particularly with sporting events or people.
Although not as highly regulated as tobacco advertising and alcohol advertising, in many countries there are strict laws about the way in which such services can be marketed.
Live-based casino gaming is a way to interface with a real world casino while playing online. Recent advancments in communication technology now allow land-based casinos to open a real-time window via the web for players to game tables in an interactive, live environment. With live gaming players can see, hear, and interact with live dealers at tables in brick and mortar casinos worldwide.

No Deposit Casino Parties are usually for party or event entertainment, but can sometimes be tied to a fundraiser, and are often held on riverboats, in churches, hotels etc. The main objective of the fundraiser casino night parties is to raise money for a specific cause (such as cancer research, community services, etc) by having each participant purchase a ticket for the event. Each participant receives a specific amount of fun money that can be used to purchase gaming chips at the gambling tables. When the participants have lost their chips they may purchase more fun money. Thus increasing the amount of funds raised for the charity. The participants engage in various casino games (such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, poker, wheel of fortune, etc.) in the attempt to accumulate the largest amount of gaming chips. At the end of the evening the participant who managed to win the most chips receives some kind of prize. With the prize often being awarded by a representative of the charity. Reliability and trust issues are commonplace and often questioned. Many online casinos lease or purchase their software from well-known companies like Wager Works, Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech and Cryptologic in an attempt to "piggyback" their reputation on the software manufacturer's credibility. These software companies either use or claim to use random number generators to ensure that the numbers, cards or dice appear randomly.
Customers may gamble by playing slot machines or other games of chance (e.g., craps, roulette, baccarat) and some skill (eg., blackjack, poker) [for more see casino games]. Game rules usually have mathematically-determined odds that ensure the house retains an advantage over the players. This advantage is called the edge. Payout is the percentage given to players. In games such as poker, the house takes a commission (a "rake") on bets players make against each other. Playing with house money refers to the situation where a winning player is placing bets with money that has been won from the casino.

Online casinos, also known as virtual casinos or internet casinos, are online versions of traditional ("brick and mortar") casinos. Online casinos enable gamblers to play and wager on casino games through the Internet. A Casino Night (also called Vegas Nights, Casino nights, Fun casino events, Las Vegas Nights, Monte Carlo Nights, Casino Parties, Fun casinos,) is an entertainment event with a casino theme.
To get around advertising restrictions, some online poker companies advertise free-play sites, like PartyPoker.net and PokerStars.net, and sometimes even call these free sites "poker schools". These sites restrict access to those of legal age, even though it is not required Live-based casino gaming is a way to interface with a real world casino while playing online.

Traditionally, casinos have had a major concentration on security. Large amounts of currency move through a casino, tempting people to cheat the system. Security today consists of cameras located throughout the property operated by highly trained individuals who attempt to locate cheating and stealing by both players and employees.
Extreme cases of problem gambling may cross over into the realm of mental disorders. Pathological gambling was recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the DSM-III, but the criteria were significantly reworked based on large-scale studies and statistical methods for the DSM-IV. As defined by American Psychiatric Association, pathological gambling is an impulse control disorder that is a chronic and progressive mental illness.
Further to this, according to a report from the Harvard Medical School Division on Addictions there was an experiment constructed where test subjects were presented with siuations where they could win, lose or break even in a casino-like environment. Subjects' reactions were measured using a fMRI, a neuro-imaging device very similar to a MRI. And according to Hand Breiter, MD, co-director of the motivation and Emotion Neuroscience Centre at the Massachusetts General Hospital, "Monetary reward in a gambling-like experiment produces brain activation very similar to that observed in a cocaine addict receiving an infusion of cocaine."Pathological gambling is similar to many other impulse control disorders such as kleptomania, pyromania, Trichotillomania. Other mental disease that also exhibit impulse control disorder include such mental disorders as antisocial personality disorder, or schizophrenia
Pathological gambling is now defined as persistent and recurrent maladaptive gambling behavior meeting at least five of the following criteria, as long as these behaviors are not better explained by a manic episode:

According to the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery Recent evidence indicates that pathological gambling is an addiction similar to chemical addiction. It has been seen that some pathological gamblers have lower levels of norepinephrine than normal gamblers.
According to a study conducted by Alec Roy, M.D. formerly at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, norepinephrine is secreted under stress, arousal, or thrill, so pathological gamblers gamble to make up for their underdosage.
Biological Bases of No Deposit Casino
Available research seems to indicate that problem gambling is an internal tendency, and that problem gamblers will tend to risk money on whatever game is available, rather than a particular game being available inducing problem gambling in otherwise "normal" individuals. However, research also indicates that problem gamblers tend to risk money on fast-paced games. Thus a problem gambler is much more likely to lose a lot of money on poker or slot machines, where rounds end quickly and there is a constant temptation to play again or increase bets, as opposed to a state lottery where the gambler must wait until the next drawing to see results.

There is evidence that the SSRI paroxetine is efficient in the treatment of pathological gambling [1]. Additionally, for patients suffering from both pathological gambling and a comorbid bipolar spectrum condition, sustained release lithium has shown efficacy in a preliminary trial.

Modern casino security is usually divided between a physical security force, which patrols the casino floor and responds to calls for assistance and reports of criminal and/or suspicious activities, and a specialized surveillance department, that operates the casino's closed circuit television (CCTV) system in an effort to detect any misconduct by both guests and employees alike. Both of these specialized casino security departments work very closely with each other to ensure the safety of both guests and the casino's assets.

Some forms of gambling are allegedly less harmful. According to William R. Eadington, University of Nevada, in an article entitled "What happens to the best laid plans: global lessons on legalization and liberation of gaming laws", ranked from least dangerous to most dangerous are:-
Deficiencies in serotonin might also contribute to complusive behavior, including a gambling addiction.

Bailout. The subject turns to family, friends, or another third party for financial assistance as a result of gambling.
Biological Bases. The subject has a lack of norepinephrine.
The most common instrument used to screen for "probable pathological gambling" behavior is the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) developed by Lesieur and Blume (1987) at the South Oaks Hospital in New York. This screen is undoubtedly the most cited instrument in psychological research literature.

The National Planning Grateful Dead LP
In 2009, the National's Bryce and Aaron Dessner curated Dark Was the Night, a charity album for AIDS foundation Red Hot that featured top indie artists like Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Arcade Fire, Spoon, and Feist. Now, the Brooklyn band is working on a follow-up benefit album — only this time they'll be taking on the music of the Grateful Dead, according to an interview bassist Scott Devendorf gave with Spinner at Coachella this year.
The project is still in the works — the National's management will only confirm that they are prepping another charity LP — but Devendorf said that they've got potential artists like Steve Reich and Fleet Foxes on board, as well as Bon Iver.
As for the National's contribution, Devendorf says they are still deciding which Grateful Dead song to cover, but a song like "Box of Rain" or "Unbroken Chain" are likely candidates: "Matt [Berninger] has got to sing it, so we're thinking a Phil [Lesh-written] song... For us, the frontrunner right now is 'Box of Rain,' I think, but we'll see."
But one thing is certain: Devendorf, who is "shadow curating" the record, said the tribute album won't include cookie cutter renditions of Dead material. "There are so many [Dead] cover bands, I think half of the record will be reinterpreting it," he said. "We're also trying to think of unusual [bands]. Crystal Castles would be awesome."

ERV alerted me to Luskins latest attempt to, well, um, I’m not sure what because all he succeeds in doing is undermining several ID talking points. ERV tackles Luskin’s post in her own inimitable style (linked to above) but I would like to focus on a couple of other points – especially the one where he throws Behe under the bus.
The subject of Luskin’s post concerns “junk” or noncoding DNA:
These sources promoting the classic “junk DNA” icon of neo-Darwinism need updating, as a Yale University news release from earlier this month recalls the fact that “[i]n the last several years, scientists have discovered that non-coding regions of the genome, far from being junk, contain thousands of regulatory elements that act as genetic ‘switches’ to turn genes on or off.” In this case, the junk triggered genes that control human thumb and foot development.
Luskin is being more than a little dishonest here, since, as I have previously pointed out there are a number of competing explanations for noncoding DNA. Note also Luskin’s description of the function of this junk. Is this really such a radical discovery that it is going to challenge evolutionary science? Well, no. This is actually another example of Luskin making ad hoc arguments simply because they contradict evolutionary theory. In accepting the results of this paper – that this particular DNA has a function – Luskin has given the farm away. To understand why we need to look at the paper in more detail. The paper in question is called Human-Specific Gain of Function in a Developmental Enhancer and was published in Science on 9/5/08. There are a number of evolutionarily conserved noncoding DNA in vertebrate genomes. This paper picks the most rapidly evolving bit from the human genome. Compared to other vertebrates this particular bit (which the authors named HACNS1) has 16 human specific substitutions which were picked up after the human-chimp divergence. To try and understand the function of HACNS1 the researchers inserted the human version and the chimp and rhesus orthologs into a transgenic mouse enhancer assay (I’ll spare you the details) and looked at the resulting patterns of expression. They looked at embryos at two different stages of development (embryonic days 11.5 and 13.5). At day 11.5 the human HACNS1 was strongly expressed in the anterior limb bud, pharyngeal arches, and the ears and eyes. In contrast, the chimp and rhesus orthologs were only weakly expressed at the base of the limb. At day 13.5 the human HACNS1 was expressed in the forearm/hand junction, shoulder, and hindlimb. The chimp and rhesus orthologs showed expression in the shoulder region. The authors conclude:
These results indicate that the human-specific enhancer activity persists across multiple developmental stages. Moreover, they suggest that the robust anterior limb expression pattern of HACNS1 evolved from a weaker ancestral pattern that is largely confined to the base of the limb bud, as evident in the activities of the chimpanzee and rhesus enhancers at both time points.
Indeed, if one looks at the fossil record beginning with the chimp-human split and moving forward, one can see changes in exactly those structures HACNS1 is expressed in, which gives some robust support to the idea (IMHO). Having said that, I should also point out that although HACNS1 has a role to play in the evolution of the human skeleton, I doubt that it is the only cause. At any rate, if one accepts that HACNS1 has a function, one has to accept that the differences between chimps and humans arose as the result of human evolution. To argue otherwise would be illogical in the extreme. Luskin, of course, mentions none of this because to do so would put him between a rock and a hard place.
Luskin’s position becomes even more precarious when Prabhakar et al 2008 start talking about their reasoning for choosing this region. According to Prabhakar et al 2008, this region has undergone several bouts of positive selection that resulted in the function Luskin invokes. All quite interesting, but I’m sure you want to hear about Luskin throwing Behe under the bus. Here is what happened. The above experiments with human HACNS1 and its chimp and rhesus orthologs clearly demonstrate that anywhere from 1-16 of the human specific changes are responsible for the change or gain in function. Thirteen of the changes were tightly clustered in one area so Prabhakar et al 2008 focused on those. The inserted various combinations of six and three substitutions. The upshot is that at least two of the substitutions are required for the change in function – something Behe says can’t happen. It get’s somewhat worse though, because this work demonstrates that human evolution is mosaic evolution, irreducible complexity doesn’t apply.PvM at the Panda’s Thumb offers his take on Luskin’s silliness as well.

Behe under the bus – I love a good visual!
I can picture his little old-man cap just sort of rolling away down the road, as his little legs feebly twitch on one side of the bus, while the other side reveals the sun bouncing off his little bald head. A little bald head that was once a living mouth-breathing human, filled with insane ideas of little motorboat propellers.
The same propellers that failed to warn him in time that the Darwin-driven bus, driven by Luskin, and what he wrongly assumed was a friend, was about to teach him a life-lesson. Or in this case, maybe not so much.
Afarensis – Thanks for the set-up!
Thanks for the summary — I’d tagged the article but hadn’t gotten around to reading it yet. Also, thanks for the lovely word cartoon (chortle, chortle). I needed a good laugh, especially one with little propellers (snicker, snicker). Now I’m off to try calling up Sarah Palin and see if she can spell “potato” — wanna lay odds she adds an “e” like Quayle? (guffaw)
