However, this may be adjusted in respect of existing large electricity supply contracts for entities consuming greater than 2,000 gigawatt hours per year, and where contractual arrangements entered into before 3 June 2007 are still in force (without having been renegotiated or reviewed) within 60 days after Royal Assent of the Act. In such a situation, these contracts will be considered by the Regulator with a view to determine an entity-specific electricity allocation factor.

My husband's activities while all this is going on is to get home from work early, crash on the couch, go outside for a cigarette, crash on the couch again complaining bitterly about the fact that it is unfair that he has to go on a family holiday with us in a couple of days because he is so tired that he just wants to stay home.

His buddies all chimed in said, "Let's do it! We'll make it a priority; figure out a way and meet here early, Christmas morning." Months later, that special morning arrives, and there they are on the golf course. The first guy says, "Boy this game cost me a fortune! I bought my wife a diamond ring that she can't take her eyes off." The second guy says, "I spent a ton too. My wife is at home planning the cruise I gave her. She was up to her eyeballs in brochures." The third guy says "Well my wife is at home admiring her new car, reading the manual." They all turned to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds. "I can't believe you all went to such expense for this golf game.

The mix can have two uses; you can listen to it and judge your progress, and you can use it to show off your skills and give a feel of your music to potential employers. Remember that promoters and agents are constantly deluged with mixes, so make sure your mix stands out. Most industry people will be bored of hearing the big tunes of the moment, so include new and / or different records you've unearthed, and maybe even a couple of classics.

compound words such as "puddle-wonderful". However, this obvious experimentation is often combined with strict formal structures and traditional subject matter that reveals a strong bias towards romanticism. There is also a satirical vein in his work which mocks the mores of popular American life, particularly society's belief in scientific rationalism. In 1926 Cummings became a freelance writer for Vanity Fair and established his customary work pattern, painting in the afternoons and writing at night. His personal life was less ordered, his first two marriages ending in divorce and enforced estrangement from his only child, Nancy. In 1926 he also suffered the loss of his beloved father in a car accident that left his mother badly injured. However, he found happiness in his third marriage to the photographer, Marion Morehouse. Later collections extended his typographical and grammatical experiments further though they have been criticised for a lack of development in terms of tone and subject matter. Cummings died from a brain haemorrhage in 1962. Cummings was honoured with many literary awards in his life though critical opinion was divided and remains so over his legacy: some dismiss his work as sentimental and politically nave, whilst others value him for his anarchist and mystical beliefs. What is indisputable is his status as one of the most widely read and popular American poets. His Archive recordings present Cummings in the intimacy of his Greenwich Village home.

government promised to reform the pension system and a costly program of state subsidies for energy and staples, according to a letter published on the IMF website this week. Morocco's state spending is at record highs, the deficit is soaring and its No. 1 trading partner - Europe - is flailing. The latest economic figures show that Europe is edging closer to recession, dragged down by the crippling debt problems of the 17 countries that use the euro. Europe's stumbling economy is making it harder for other economies around the world to recover and policymakers are trying to reach agreement on more decisive action to deal with the debt crisis. 13.05 Another European minister has spoken out in favour of keeping the eurozone together. Dutch finance minister , Jan Kees de Jager, said the focus of the Netherlands and the euro zone was to keep the single currency area together. He said: We never speculate about an exit from, or the break-up of the euro zone. The euro zone is very important for the Netherlands.

longest, I assume Treasury would accept the notes in exchange for discharging the tax liability, and then send the notes to Fed, who would redeem them in exchange for a credit to Treasury's account at the Fed. So the government in the actual world has been a user of the currency issued by the (deconsolidated) Fed, up until presentation of the currency by the government to the Fed. I doubt that any notes received in this way are shredded by the Fed unless they are damaged beyond further usefulness? Otherwise, presumably, they can remain in inventory for reuse/reissue? Or, perhaps payment of taxes with currency is so rare that the notes are shredded as a matter of course, whatever their condition? In any event, in a deconsolidated institutional structure, the notes while in the possession of Treasury do go somewhere -- to the Fed? A further complication is the fact that someone can pay taxes in cash at a bank which holds the TT&L account. My guess is that the bank takes the cash and credits the Treasury's account and notifies the Fed about the increase in cash holdings. If some bank customer needs cash, the bank can give the same cash notes which was used for the payment of taxes.

There should be a parent worker or learning mentor who would be able to liaise a suitable time with school, it is part of their role to encourage parents and grandparents to engage with school, so they should be more than happy to help. One of the positive elements in this thread is that there seems to be a universal acceptance that some form of family record should be produced and made available - a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree. Whether it's a "warts and all" approach will always remain a moot point. I have already written my autobiography and had copies printed for close family members. I hope it doesn't seem pretentious to write your own life story; I saw it more as a message to my children, so that they would be aware of the fact that their dad had a life before their arrival and experiences outside their normal sphere of knowledge. It told them things they didn't know, expressed a few opinions and raised the odd eyebrow, but nothing that would create friction or family divisions.

this help your business? To innovate, consider the four key principles of design: 360 degree thinking, prototyping, collaboration, and execution. 360 degree thinking Yes, it's a clich, but 360 degree thinking can help you identify new ways of looking at your business. Designers have the freedom to look at every angle, from the simple to the complex. We can ask more obvious questions that no one else might have considered and we really try to get under the skin of our client's businesses and needs. By doing the same, you can clarify the value of new products, services or process innovations from not one, but several viewpoints, especially those of the customer. Prototyping Whether you offer a product or service, create a prototype and get feedback. Ask for opinions and critiques from your target audience and establish what works and what doesn't. Keep trialling, testing and re-testing until you are happy you have created a perfect solution for your client. Collaboration Think realistically. As much as I would like to think that I can do everything, I have learnt to appreciate that I can't. By utilising and collaborating with other designers and creatives my work benefits and is set apart from others. Working collaboratively offers the opportunity to see things from a different viewpoint and allows a completely rounded approach.

will move out into open water and feed on suspended schools of lake shad and lake Herring. This is especially true in lakes where the shoreline is a gauntlet of Pike teeth. There are two things you can do. If you are in a bigger boat you can use downriggers or use down-deep Husky Jerks or J-13 down deep jointed Rapalas and troll out in open water. Look for schools of baitfish 20 to 40 yards off rocky points or river mouths. Try fishing 15 to 35 feet deep. If you are in a small boat and you can troll really slow, use a 3-way swivel and a 2-oz weight and back-troll through the schools of bait fish or troll 20 feet deep along the shore and follow the contours of the shoreline. Use a worm harness with a big juicy worm. Fall: Fishing in the fall for Walleyes can be very frustrating. What happens in many lakes is the water cools down and the weeds start to die. As the weeds die, they absorb oxygen out of the water as then decompose. Dead weeds also produce a dirty methane-sulfate and when the methane bubbles are released and float to the surface, the molecule capture a hydrogen molecule and releases the sulfur, which is poison to fish in high concentrations but with trace amounts, it's annoying to them. The Walleyes take off into open water or up rivers and away from the dying weeds. They may move to the outer | HI | HI HT | 327,695 |

Hah hah hah. there are 25% non-Jews in official Israel, and well more than 50% in actual Isreal ( the territory administered by the Israeli state). But the supposed democratic leader of this supposed nation says "we the Jewish people". He is like hitler, a monster of discrimination. Imagine if you were one of the majority of the area occupied by Isreali troops, which is of course non-Jew. And the so-called democratic leader steps up with a Hitler-like speech referring to only Jews as human, only Jews as part of his grand dream, his liebensraum, his occupation, his glorious war machine. Think how chilling that is, how frightening that is, and it is backed every day by genocidal maniacs in Israeli uniforms killing amd maiming at random all over the land.

Her first long-haul trip was to Ladakh in the far north of India. 'It was totally inaccessible,' she says. 'I took Patrick Demarchelier and Cindy Crawford, and we lived in tents for two weeks. We didn't wash or shower - what did I know?' Twenty-five years later she is still embarking on impossible adventures. 'I am incredibly driven, incredibly hard-working,' she says.

that's appropriate for the appliance at the other end. You can buy the special 5 amp fuses that go in those socket strips from electronics suppliers. I bought 100 of them, and have added fixing stupid electricity sockets to fixing IT equipment. What really annoys me is why they felt the need to fuse every outlet. The laws of physics say one can chain as many UK 13A extension blocks as one wants to. The 13 amp fuse on the first one will blow (and disconnect the whole chain) if the total current drain of all appliances connected to the string exceeds the 13 Amps at which all such blocks are rated. Not much risk of that with IT stuff. OTOH there are some laser printers that can take out a 5 amp fuse, since they take >5A for a few seconds while heating up from cold. And if there were no 13 amp fuse, four times five amps is 20 amps, which is an overload condition for a 13 amp plug! Re: No fair As I understand it, UK power sockets are wired in a loop, with both ends of the loop terminating at the breaker panel. This was done to save copper - each outlet is, in effect, fed by 2 sets of wires, and so you have double the copper free of charge (no pun intended).

The Emissions Trading System is the cornerstone of EU climate policy, imposing curbs on discharges at more than 11,000 carbon-emitting factories and power plants. Carbon permits touched a record low of 5.99 euros ($7.70) in April as supply exceeded demand. | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 728,609 |
Patricia, as well as four of their children, were found guilty of possession and conspiracy to distribute marijuana in an ongoing criminal enterprise. Clyde got 26 years; Patricia got 24; and their four children received sentences ranging from three to 15 years. Patricia and the four children have since been released, but Clyde is still serving his time. 9. James Cox James Cox suffered from testicular cancer that had spread to his stomach, and marijuana helped not only increase his appetite, but also helped him to cope with the pain. Addicted to Demerol after 15 years on the medication, he found that marijuana helped him to take less of the narcotic and still manage his chronic pain. In the late ?80s, police discovered his cannabis garden while investigating an attempted burglary at his home. James was sentenced to 15 years, his wife to five. Authorities also confiscated the home he and his wife, Pat, had inherited from her mother. The future looked so grim the couple attempted suicide while out on bond. Cox?s sentence was eventually given a stay, but when Cox was arrested for growing marijuana again, he was sent back to jail. In 1995, he wrote that being incarcerated led to ?constant discomfort? he believed to be ?a direct result of not having the medical benefits of marijuana.? His stomach ?deteriorated to the point where I could not eat anything due to incurable bleeding ulcers.? After almost five years in prison, Cox was finally released on parole. 10. | ID | ID DF | 3,344,811 |
Abstract The transition from the Middle Stone Age (MSA) to the Later Stone Age (LSA) in South Africa was not associated with the appearance of anatomically modern humans and the extinction of Neandertals, as in the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition in Western Europe. It has therefore attracted less attention, yet it provides insights into patterns of technological evolution not associated with a new hominin. Data from Border Cave (KwaZulu-Natal) show a strong pattern of technological change at approximately 44 -- 42 ka cal BP, marked by adoption of techniques and materials that were present but scarcely used in the previous MSA, and some novelties. The agent of change was neither a revolution nor the advent of a new species of human. Although most evident in personal ornaments and symbolic markings, the change from one way of living to another was not restricted to aesthetics. Our analysis shows that: ( i ) at Border Cave two assemblages, dated to 45 -- 49 and >49 ka, show a gradual abandonment of the technology and tool types of the post-Howiesons Poort period and can be considered transitional industries; ( ii ) the 44 -- 42 ka cal BP assemblages are based on an expedient technology dominated by bipolar knapping, with microliths hafted with pitch from Podocarpus bark, worked suid tusks, ostrich eggshell beads, bone arrowheads, engraved bones, bored stones, and digging sticks; ( iii ) these assemblages mark the beginning of the LSA in South Africa; ( iv ) the LSA emerged | IN | IN OI | 167,318 |

do not, there is no try, etc." I'm not a professor, but how about "Housing in Vancouver has become increasingly unaffordable"? Does that make sense? "Increasingly" suggests a progression, no? For the record, I do believe Vancouver's already a city of haves and have-nots, but I think that situation is going to get even more extreme. @Vreaa host, you wrote: "Vesta; 'derp -- If you take a look at your posts, you guys are actually on pretty much the same side of every issue." No, we're not actually, and there are things derp has said that I would not say myself or subscribe to, just as i would think there are things i've said he wouldn't say or subscribe to. I think he and I do agree on Vancouver being a city of haves and have-nots, though based on my own experience here I don't think the divide used to be as profound as it is now -- i.e. that it has "increasingly" become worse. Furthermore, with the economic catastrophe that looks "increasingly" likely, I believe the divide will become "increasingly" wider, as more and more it will involve what was once considered the economic middle class here. Vesta -> Okay, agreed, my statement was too much of a generalization.

More By...

Well, for most of the morning: 09:48 ALI MOORE (to Jim Middleton): The other issue that will face Malcolm Turnbull, of course, is one reflected in a text message I've just got and that is, "another silvertail". How is he going to work to eliminate that impression that some have of him? 10:24 ALI MOORE (to Andrew Robb): ...he's also seen by some as a silvertail, arrogant, someone who comes from wealth and privilege .... 10:52 ALI MOORE (to Barrie Cassidy): And what about the fact that both he and indeed Julie Bishop at the very outset addressed the issue that some perceive him as a silvertail. He talked within his first two minutes about how he doesn't come from a lifetime of privilege. Even Francis Macnab, the Uniting Church minister who wandered into the ABC studio to discuss his current pet project (removing the 10 Commandments from the forefont of Christian teaching), was forced by Moore to address the silvertail issue: 10:54 ALI MOORE: You deal with people who are in difficulties, financial difficulties often.

Sometimes you don't really get to play Magic. I boarded in a Fungal Sprouting this round, because if he did manage to stick a Krenko, I'd need a way to keep up. I tried to go outside the box with my board strategies this week, to get a better feel for what works and doesn't work. This has applications in both Limited Magic when boarding, alongside Constructed when creating a board. I think I'm a little generic in my sideboarding skills, so this was a fun and helpful exercise.

While I spent most of the game on one Plains with a Sublime Archangel in hand, I think I played through the bottleneck quite well, managing to get my opponent to 4 before dying. I think I made a few mistakes, including a heedless attack that left me vulnerable. In game two, my opponent opened with three Deadly Recluse s, which both locked down my offense and left my defense sorely lacking.

The world economy , or global economy , generally refers to the economy , which is based on economies of all of the world's countries ' national economies. Also global economy can be seen as the economy of global society and national economies – as economies of local societies, making the global one. It can be evaluated in various kind of ways. For instance, depending on the model used, the valuation that is arrived at can be represented in a certain currency , such as 2006 US dollars . It is inseparable from the geography and ecology of Earth , and is therefore something of a misnomer, since, while definitions and representations of the "world economy" vary widely, they must at a minimum exclude any consideration of resources or value based outside of the Earth . For example, while attempts could be made to calculate the value of currently unexploited mining opportunities in unclaimed territory in Antarctica , the same opportunities on Mars would not be considered a part of the world economy—even if currently exploited in some way—and could be considered of latent value only in the same way as uncreated intellectual property , such as a previously unconceived invention. Beyond the minimum standard of concerning value in production, use, and exchange on the planet Earth, definitions, representations, models, and valuations of the world economy vary widely. It is common to limit questions of the world economy exclusively to human economic activity , and the world economy is typically | IN | IN EN | 9,998,628 |
200 of them in the coming seasons. Hech Variations : It was a treat on Sunday afternoon to get a good look at Adeiny Hechavarria, both at the plate and in the field at his natural position. Seeing him smack a tater late in a tight game was just the gravy on top of the sundae. After his early big league struggles, Hechavarria has posted a .725 OPS (.294 OBP, .431 SLG) in his last 22 games, and he looks increasingly comfortable at the plate. His swings are more aggressive and less defensive lately, making the notion of him as an everyday player next season seem less remote. (If the low-.700's OPS scares you, it's worth noting that in 2011, the average output for an MLB shortstop was a .317 OBP and a .380 SLG, while second base was .320/.389. There's a lot of failure that you have to bear at those premium up-the-middle positions.) There's a pretty interesting argument that we could have as to whether if Hechavarria needs to play shortstop for the Jays to get full value from him next year. It looks as though his glove will be among the elite at the position, and shifting that over to second base might squander some of his best attributes. This isn't an attempt to rush Yunel Escobar out the door, as I don't think that he's as bad as he's looked at times this year.

They are cheaper, and contain a lot of locals (with whom I had many interesting conversations -- I don't think I'll ever forget the aboriginal lady asking me if I'd heard about the riots in England ) The buses are more comfortable, there are several a day and there are night buses. Night buses = not having to pay for a night's accommodation! What about an organised tour of Australia? - Well, if you want a sub-standard trip for twice the price then go ahead . . . typically they offer some very rushed group transport & accommodation up the east coast at an inflated price, and you have to fork out more if you actually want to see anything. Companies such as Contiki are particularly bad for this. - The only tour that I've come across that I think is any good is OzIntro's seven day trip ( www.ozintro.com ). Essentially it's a week in Sydney aimed at people who've just arrived in Australia and you get a variety of organised activities, and you do all the admin stuff like medicare cards and TFNs. If you add up the cost of everything they give you, you couldn't really do it any cheaper anyway, and it's a great way to make friends, but don't be fooled into thinking that you can't get all the admin stuff done yourself.

and taping the final edge under in the same way that you started off. Secure your stitching. Figure 28: The completed lower binding. Cut, tip and insert your steel bones in the channels as required. Preparing steels is really simple , but for beginners it can be a good idea to buy in a range of lengths of spiral and flat steel which you can use over and over again in toiles and your first few experiments. I used spirals throughout (with flats at CB and CF) to give a corset that will mould into its desired shape quickly and smoothly. As the broche holds such a sturdy shape, only a minimum of steels are needed. Once your steels are in place, you may apply the top binding following your chosen technique.

many times have we seen something that looks interesting and been dissapointed because it is "unautorised"?. The way this works is they go from past to present fairly frequently, this works excellently because you never get a chance to become bored. We learn some really interesting things too. A personal favourite is when Ronaldinho reveals that Motta took him under his wing when he first arrived at the club. Ronaldinho tells how his Spanish was terrible and that Thiago Motta acted as his personal translator in the dressing room. The real insight like this makes this a truly unique documentary. There is a lot of footage on this, which is at times over-whelming. To get hold of so much incredible footage feels like christmaa. Anything you can think of is included. Black and White footage of the club, footage of the Nou Camp being built, footage from the Barcelona streets on game night and of course a fantastic amount of trickery and goals from the likes of Ronaldo, Eto'o, Maradona, Cruyff and of course Ronaldinho. Hell ,there is even footage of a young(ger) Messi in training. Which is just great to see. My only problem with this documentary is that I felt it could have gone deeper into the Catalan history, showing why the club is so important.

a traumatic experience and getting on with business is "the defensive style most closely associated with successful adaptation". Trevor forced this hard-nosed logic to dominate over emotion, telling his wife, "We won't be attacked again, Trish. We're predisastered." (In quoting from the movie The World According To Garp , he was employing one of the best strategies for successful adaptation: humour.) In the midst of the attack, Trevor recalled feeling distant and philosophical about it. He had seen the bear attack Patricia and was under the impression that she had been killed. When the bear returned to attack Trevor for a second time, he later told his wife that he was convinced he'd die, but his only reaction was curiosity. He thought: "So this is how I die." Patricia's response to the bear was pure panic and terror. Patricia had been more severely injured than her husband, which may explain to some extent the differences in their responses. Because the bear bit into her face, she had repeated operations on her sinuses. Within weeks of each surgery, infection would set in again. More surgery would follow. Her head and face ached all the time. Patricia needed to experience her body healing in order to make progress, and that just wasn't happening. Also, their experiences of the attack had been different in one crucial way. Trevor had had no premonition about the bear. Patricia had ignored the clear warning she had felt.

Last election foreign relations was a huge issue and after listening to John McCain's republican nomination speech where he stressed continuing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan I didn't think I could go for that. I am really an anti-Lehi-Nephi at heart and to me fixing international relations and the war was my biggest concerns.

Servant who Forged to Support Her Lover Unable to support her ill lover without resorting to crime, Sophia Pringle's forgeries led to a sensational trial and execution. Early Life and Domestic Service Sophia Pringle was the daughter of a journeyman tailor of Cannon Row, Ratcliffe Highway in east London. She was probably born around 1767. 1 In 1785 she left her father's house and lived as servant to Mrs Meadows , a lady from America, at Duke Street, Portland Chapel. While there, she fell in love with a lottery-office keeper, who is not named in any of the sources. The two seem to have considered marriage. After a short while, her service with Mrs Meadows ended, and she went to lodge with a friend, William Lewis , a black hairdresser who lived in Oxford Street. Her lottery-office keeper became ill and unable to work, and came to lodge with her. She made herself responsible for paying board and lodging for them both, but by November 1786, she was no longer able to pay Lewis, and disappeared after telling him she was going to visit friends in Clapham who would give her money. Forged Powers of Attorney In December 1786, she embarked on a bold plan to obtain money by producing a forged power of attorney. She was able, calling herself Elizabeth Winterbourne , to procure the services of a broker to draw up a document to sell 100 of stock which, she said, belonged to her aged father, William Winterbourne | NARRATIVE | NA DP | 139,029 |

Q - There is a fawn alone in a field/garden/backyard ?? where is its mom? Is it abandoned? A mother doe will leave her fawn in what she thinks is a "safe place" while she heads off to find food. The doe will return only a couple times a day to feed her fawn. The fawn will remain in the same place between the feedings so it is very likely that you will continue to see the fawn and not the mother. During the first 2 weeks of life the fawn's only protection is to lie still to hide from predators. If you have found an abandoned fawn, it is best to monitor for up to a day to ensure that it is truly abandoned. If the fawn is in an unsafe location, move it off to the side so it won't be harmed.

government's fault when those with jobs can't afford gas. Don't tell the government to help the unemployed, they should work hard and help themselves. DO tell the government that my job isn't good enough to afford commodities. I cannot get a higher paying job myself. Today's transportation fuel prices are as high as they have ever been, as evidenced by the charts above. It looks like lower fuel cost helps our economy, see 1945-1970 and 1985-2003. It would be interesting to see a chart on miles driven per inflation adjusted dollar spent on fuel. I think we would see that today we are getting significantly more miles out of the equivalent expense. We should also keep in mind there is much less environmental pollution per gallon than in the past. I wonder if there is enough information to allow a chart of gas prices, INCLUDING the portion spent through the government in subsidies, military support, etc? If subsidies have remained steady over the years, then 1919 adjusted prices would be higher -- doubt this has happened! The comment about military costs suggests to me You might reflect on the fact that if we had not fought Hitler, he would have come in possession of the Middle Eastern fields.

When you bring up the issue, give your friend a chance to explain. There may be a misunderstanding that you didn't realize existed. If, however, you haven't yet addressed the issues with your friend, you have a decision to make. Do you really want to end your friendship then? Or are you just angry? Take some time to cool off so you can approach your friend in an assertive way that doesn't accuse. Ending a Friendship Through Email Ideally, you should never have any kind of break up through email, but the reality is that many people do. Sometimes it is simply impossible to talk things out with a friend. When your friend won't listen, you can send an email to break up. Some things to keep in mind, however: Make the email short and to the point. Don't pour out your heart because your friend will feel bombarded. Don't initiate an email fight . Sending nasty emails back and forth will only leave you both feeling horrible about your friendship. Emphasize the reason you feel you need to end the friendship, what you appreciated about your friend, and that you wish them the best. Focus on specific events and how they made you feel, rather than assuming why your friend did the things they did.

This space explores issues in public education policy, and it advocates for a commitment to and a re-examination of the democratic purposes of schools. If there is some urgency in the message, it is due to the current reform efforts that are based on a radical re-invention of education, now spearheaded by a psychometric blitzkrieg of "metastasizing testing" aimed at dismantling a public education system that took almost 200 years to build. Thursday, December 01, 2011 That was Einstein's definition. In this commentary from Ed Week, Kevin Welner considers how long it might take the same reform repeated for decades to become the status quo: HOW MANY DECADES BEFORE "REFORM" BECOMES "STATUS QUO"? Education Week Commentary -- December 1, 2011 By Kevin G. Welner Pause for a moment and warily inhale the decaying fragrance of well-aged change. The nation's established school reformers have been on the ascendency for decades, and the so-called "change" they offer is simply more of the same. Consider this brief recap of school reform over the past three decades, focused in particular on privatization and choice, as well as standards-based testing and accountability. Reform in the 1980s: "A Nation at Risk"; site-based management; basic-skills testing; graduation exams; and the beginning of standards-based reforms. Reform in the 1990s: Alternative teacher certification and, relatedly, programs such as Teach For America; federal promotion of standards-based reform; state-level development and expansion of standards-based, high-stakes student testing; development and expansion of charter school policies; and the first appearance of education management | OP | OP OB | 244,116 |
involved in that. It's a nice piece of machinery to have on the set. Are there any particular pieces of technology that you use on a daily basis? Smartphones, tablets, anything like that? GP: We use video cameras a lot now, because everything we do is video, in the rehearsals and all that because it helps. Everything I do I video and I show it to the director, and he can see what it roughly looks like on camera, and we can change it, make it better. When we're actually shooting it on the day, it limits what we have to shoot, so we're not wasting time and money. Modern-day cameras are real helpful, because the quality is so good. Years ago, it was a bit dodgy, it was a bit grainy. You get something like a Canon 5D now and it's like it's film quality, so it really does help out. | SP | SP IT | 3,096,705 |
and hold them hostage in their strongholds in the southernmost Philippines. They made fools of the Philippine military and reaped tens of millions of US dollars, in hard cold cash, for their efforts. In May 2001, Abu Sayyaf struck again, this time kidnapping numerous Filipino and foreign hostages from a resort on Palawan and transporting them hundreds of kilometres across open sea, outrunning the Philippine Navy, back to their stronghold on the Philippines' southernmost pirate islands. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo vowed to crush them and sent in the Army and Air Force, just as Estrada had done in 2000. First time round, all that the military had succeeded in doing was bombing, terrorising and killing innocent Muslim civilians. In 2001, the Army actually cornered the Abu Sayyaf band holding the hostages, on the island of Basilan; there was a battle, with more civilian deaths and then the kidnappers simply vanished. Compelling evidence emerged later in the year that senior military commanders were in cahoots with Abu Sayyaf, were easily bribed and had made a profitable arrangement to split the huge ransom payments from the previous year's takings. So Abu Sayyaf and its hostages simply melted back into the Basilan jungle. They were holding three American hostages -- in June, they beheaded one. But they have held onto the other two, a missionary couple from Kansas. The US showed no interest beyond sending out Federal Bureau of Investigation agents to look into a crime involving US citizens.

(p. 39) The frustrating thing about this reference is that there is no publication date that I can find for the book other than "187?". And like a lot of these accounts, the writer chooses to *not* give a date for his experience! I have yet to understand this, unless it is a way of covering up a fiction. It makes me suspicious right off. He says, "On Saturday, the --day of June, 18--, I embarked on board the "Mary Bradford," then lying in the basin of the London Docks, and bound for New York." (p. 5) There certainly was a "Mary Bradford", and she was one of the "Swallow-Tail Line of Packet Ship", sailing every alternate Thursday from New York and London. Here is an advertisement from 1859:... She was launched in October of 1854 at Warren, Rhode Island, and immediately sailed for Mobile.... And on July 5, 1855, she was struck by lightning at Battery Wharf in Boston!... While it is a somewhat shaky guess, I would say that this reference to "Whiskey for Johnny!" *could* be located in the later 1850s. It seems to place it in the packet trade.

He was a tough street-kid.

Today's breaking news : Salesforce.com laid off fewer than 100 people from Radian6, a social media platform marketing company that they acquired a year ago. This news has generated tremendous sympathy and support from the marketing community. Comments have been circulating on Twitter, LinkedIn, and other web sites ever since Techvibes first broke it and Business Insider confirmed the details from Salesforce's PR department. Since most of the people impacted by this layoff are from Canada, it is particularly sad to see another homegrown success story become a victim of big corporate decision-making. Sure, layoffs happen every day, especially in our fast-paced technology industry. In cases where there is perceived redundancy, it is often necessary for companies to "rebalance resources to support growth". But let's face it, for a wildly successful company like Salesforce.com, what do 100 people represent from a cost perspective? And what would their collective IP be valued at for marketing the cloud today and in the future? It seems to me that announcement like this can cause shareholders to speculate about the health of the company. Fortunately, the social community that Radian6 had built decided to give back. Within hours, dozens and dozens of "Call us -- we are hiring" messages poured in from friends, industry associates and competitors. I have never seen such a highly desirable laid off workforce.

those rare books that, once picked up, proves very difficult to put down.' The Irish Independent 'There is something fearless in the gaze Sansom turns on banality, and this novel is, in the end, a surprisingly gripping feat of coming to terms with what ordinary life is like.' TLS About the Author Ian Sansom reviews regularly for the Guardian and the London Review of Books. His first book, The Truth About Babies, was published by Granta in 2002, and his second, Ring Road, by Fourth Estate in 2004. Detectives in the English tradition stand either in the shadow of Holmes or of Watson. Holmes: the man superbly capable of his job, perfectly temperamentally suited to it. Watson: a man like ourselves, as baffled as we are, yet somehow (on his own, or with Holmes) able to contribute to the solution. In Israel Armstrong, half Jewish, half Irish, fat, almost unemployable, a good natured blunderer who should never have left the safety of Oxford Brookes, and should never, ever have gone to Northern Ireland, Ian Sansom has created a character who perhaps trumps all of the Doctor Watsons in literature. Perpetually mystified, he makes virtually every other character seem the equivalent of Sherlock Holmes, as he wanders around looking for Ballygullable, and for a library-load of books that the astute reader will have located round about chapter three. But not everything is as it seems and, in true bumbling style, Armstrong solves by accident the one crime that nobody could solve, | IP | IP DS | 683,824 |

The budget isn't as jaw-dropping (lack of commercial interest is rumored to have caused GK Studios to file for bankruptcy), and Life of Pi has a bigger fan-base than Hugo did, so it'll likely be a moderate success, with it's real legs showing come Oscar season. Similarly, Silver Linings Playbook premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to great reviews, but it won't make its real smash until the November release. It benefits from its later release date, as well as the presence of Jennifer Lawrence (whom the Academy looks to be gearing up to add to their collection of favorites) and Jacki Weaver. David O.

of the most important and meaningful jobs out there. I tried teaching and was successful, but I quit after 2 years because it was just too hard. I am NOT proud of the fact that I do not enjoy parenting. I would of course do it if I had to, but would rather go to work. I do spend more time with my son than my dad ever did with me, and even more than many fathers I know. However, I feel much more fulfilled by running the business than sitting in the park with my son like my wife does. I realize that this makes me sound like a jerk, but I simply have no patience like my wife does to spend a whole day pushing the swing, answering silly questions etc. Parenting IS the most important job of all because of the impact parents have. Ask Hitlers parents, or Ghandis. Parents raise kids that may eventually contribute to good things or destroy the world. In my high paying executive job, I do make a difference, but if I am gone tomorrow, someone else will take the job and there will be no long term impact either way.

extends to lobbying for Hamas to crack down on jihadist groups that have been launching attacks on Israel, as Israel would like to see Mr. Morsi do, is not clear. But at the moment, the relative quiet out of Cairo is being viewed in Washington as a positive first step. "If Morsi wanted to use this for populist reasons, he'd be adopting a different posture," said Martin S. Indyk, the former American ambassador to Israel and the author of "Bending History: Barack Obama's Foreign Policy." "If he wanted to take apart the peace treaty, this is his opportunity," Mr. Indyk said. "The fact that he's not and is instead apparently working with President Obama to calm the situation is important." But Mr. Morsi's cooperation can only be counted on, another administration official said, so far as Israel does not invade Gaza, with the attendant civilian casualties.

[ 6 ] Consistent with the dictionary definition of peer groups, youth tend to form groups based on similarities. It has been found that one of these similarities is by race. [ 44 ] Preference for same race grows stronger as youth develop. [ 45 ] When Latino and Caucasian youth were given surveys asking them to indicate who in their school they had the highest preference to spend time with, they both nominated peers of their same race over peers of different races. [ 46 ] This is especially prevalent in classrooms and schools that have a clear cut majority and minority racial groups. Though benefits of homophily are met, preference for one’s own racial group can lead to rejection of the racial out group, which can cause stress for both groups particularly in females. [ 47 ] For classrooms and schools that have a more equal distribution of racial groups, there can be more socialization across peer groups.

measure for calculating the impact of VAT than income? Well, this report states that many people in the bottom decile of income are only there temporarily - e.g. students or those between jobs. Their spending (and thus VAT expenditure) may be relatively high compared to their income, since they do not need to reduce it during their short spell of poverty. While this is clearly true of some people in the bottom decile, it seems unlikely to be true of all of them - the IFS does not provide any analysis, so it's hard to evaluate. Meanwhile, ONS analysis suggests VAT is regressive even as a percentage of expenditure, as the IFS acknowledges here: http://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/4813 ] So, calculating by income deciles, the true impact of the VAT rise is always closer to the blue graph than the red graph. A truly bleak picture. This is clearly a complex topic, so have I missed something? One more thing -- the IFS report warns that the Family Expenditure Survey 'significantly under-records expenditure on VATable goods' (p. 197), by a factor of around 1.4. Do you use a similar multiplying factor for the UK Expenditure and Food Survey in your blue graph? Anna -- many thanks for your comments. In terms of the IFS analysis, I think the point they are trying to make is that the UK Expenditure and Food Survey (which is what they use to calculate the distributional impact of VAT changes) doesn't measure household income very well as it's | OP | OP OB | 136,003 |

It will enable more efficient exploitation of comparative advantage in the region. It will improve resource allocation. And, most importantly, it will improve the quality of life for millions of citizens throughout the region. PART TWO: Enhancing Regional Security Beyond pursuing the tangible benefits of economic liberalisation the second key element of the Government's regional policy has been the steps it has taken to improve Australia's security and the strategic environment in which we pursue our interests. The post-Cold War era has brought challenges as well as opportunities. The regional security environment is now more fluid, complex and uncertain. A fundamental consideration for the Asia Pacific security outlook will be the evolution of relationships between the region's major powers - the United States, China, Japan, Russia and, in the longer term, India. The future shape of the Asia Pacific's security architecture is not yet settled, but it is possible to see a pattern emerging. While it might not often be said publicly by countries in the region, there is, I think, widespread support for continuing United States' strategic engagement in the Asia Pacific. The United States has a vital role in helping to stabilise regional security. Its presence strengthens regional countries' confidence in their security - in effect helping to | SP | SP FS | 723,541 |

There can be about 10^10 solar masses... that's 10 billion times the mass of the sun. Wolf: How about the fact you can not prove anything about black holes ( the inside) since no one has ever seen them. riyanatarajan: We do observe their gravitational effects fairly directly. For instance if you spacegen: Why don't galaxies get pulled into their black holes? Ezequiel: There are many forces at play. Galaxies are in a dynamical equilibrium, which explains why they don't collapse to their center. Also, a black hole is a small fraction of the total mass in a galaxy.

using marines, all pro terrans use marines to scout the other player's main army, to get an idea of what the unit composition is. You should always stim in 1 marine ahead of your main army, so you can see what is up ahead. It is better for the marine to get caught off guard than your entire army. Marines can also give you valuable information on baneling landmines and other potential traps you might of walked into. Although you should do it in all match ups it is especially important in TvP and TvZ. Tip 5: The Power of Fake Pushing Keeping your opponent on his or her toes is very important, since if the other player feels too comfortable you will be left in the dust. In the match ups, TvZ and TvP, Terran is more the aggressor as playing the Terran role in the mid to late game gets increasingly more difficult. The dynamics of Terran means we have to be the player that takes the initiative and takes advantage of the defensive nature of Protoss and Zerg. Fake pushing keeps the player locked into a position of defence, sometimes building more units to deal with a non existent push. It helps in the economic battle and costs nothing. The best times to push out from your base is when an upgrade is about to complete. Since units are most powerful when their upgrades just finish, if there is an engagement, you will have the upper hand. | HI | HI HT | 1,477,813 |

because of Climategate. I think many of them thought they were like medical scientists -- you make your pronouncement, and then the patient does what he's told to do. And they realized that that's not how the political system works. You have to understand how to be an effective communicator. Since I had talked to all of these climate scientists and read the literature, I knew that climate change was coming faster than a lot of people thought. I knew it was going to be coming at this accelerated rate. So things are changing in real time, and now we've reached the point where the signal is distinguished from the noise. It was always the case that extreme weather was going to be the way that most people were going to experience climate change directly -- that seemed clear to me from all my research. Extreme weather is very random, but it is on top of a climate signal that continues to grow. So over time, you get more and more extreme events that are way above the natural variation. And so yes, I think we are now seeing events that are once in a thousand year events, like the Russian heat wave.

Texas may have to draw the lines again in 2014, but that depends on the Supreme Court. The case the justices agreed to hear later this term comes from Shelby County, Ala. Post election, the backdrop will be the increasing muscle of Latino and black voters nationwide, with all the demographic evidence of how they helped boost President Obama back into office. But let's not forget who draws the lines for redistricting -- state lawmakers (and in a few states, commissions appointed by the states). These legislators are often chosen in midterm and off-year elections in which the composition of the electorate has tended to be older and whiter than in presidential election years. That helps explain why the Democrats took a beating in 2010. The lesson is that midterm elections can have big consequences. If Democrats ever want to win back the House, they have to get their people to the polls in the off years. And if the Supreme Court guts the Voting Rights Act, it will be more important than ever.

Handy barometric pressure definition Air Pressure? If you had a good barometric pressure definition you'd determine what that means and how significant it really is. And you would know how hard does the air press against us. Under Pressure Pressure drops as you to up in altitude. How quickly? A good rough estimate is that for every 50,000 feet, about 15 km, you go up, the pressure drops by around 90% from what it was before. The most familiar ways to define air pressure are either in inches of mercury supported, or mm of mercury (used for blood pressure), or force per unit area. Common examples of units in a barometric pressure definition are PSI, pounds per square inch, and Pascals, which are Newtons per square metre. A Newton is roughly a quarter of a pound. And scientists have named Pascals and Newtons after dead guys, like the one at the top of this page. Meteorologists, ever so odd, like to use millibars. So here's another barometric pressure definition: A millibar is 100 Newtons per square metre and is also known as a hectaPascal, hPa. Standard pressure Finally, we also use a unit of normal barometric pressure known as an atmosphere. As you might guess, it has a value equal to a typical sea-level atmospheric pressure.

Plan to create new home for County and Wakefield archives secures Heritage Lottery Fund support Ref: PR 3836 Date: 08/10/2012 West Yorkshire Archive Service has received initial support for a A3.6 million bid from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to create a new permanent home for Wakefield??s archives, it was announced today. The aim is to provide a secure and stable environment for the collections of the former county of the West Riding, as well as for those relating to Wakefield district. It will also improve access to the records, allowing them to be explored in a much more welcoming environment than the Service can currently offer. The bid included development funding of over A200,000, and this has been awarded to help the Archive Service progress its plans to apply for a full grant at a later date. The Archive Service??s Wakefield collections are currently held in the old Registry of Deeds building, which is no longer fit for purpose. Wakefield Council has allocated a site in Kirkgate for a replacement building, where the Service will have the space to reconnect communities with their archives ?? including the large collections of mining records relating to the former coalfield communities.

Farmer ["Slang and Its Analogues Past and Present," 1890] offers the theory that this meaning derives from the blue dress uniforms issued to harlots in houses of correction, but he writes that the earlier slang authority John Camden Hotten "suggests it as coming from the French Bibliothque Bleu, a series of books of very questionable character," and adds, from Hotten, that, "Books or conversation of an entirely opposite nature are said to be Brown or Quakerish, i.e., serious, grave, decent."

The transformation of Australia's energy sector towards clean energy sources will unfold over the coming decades. The carbon price will play a major role, creating powerful commercial incentives to avoid traditional high?pollution solutions and to adopt low?pollution alternatives. However, given the scale of the transformation and the imperative to change, additional measures to support innovation and investment in clean energy are required. ...which is why the Government is providing substantial new funding to promote innovation in clean energy, including a new $10 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation. The Government will provide significant levels of financial support for innovation in clean energy technologies. A new Australian Renewable Energy Agency will administer $3.2 billion in Government support for research and development, demonstration and commercialisation of renewable energy. The Renewable Energy Target, combined with other elements of the Government's plan, including the carbon price, will drive $20 billion of investment in large-scale renewable energy by 2020 in today's dollars.

my own business, Boomerang . We've still only got under 3,000 followers and our Twitter account has been up and running the same amount of time as Creative Boom's. The reason why Boomerang has nowhere near as many followers? Because it's a PR firm and only a small amount of people will be interested in following it. Plus we don't spend as much time talking on there as we do with Creative Boom's. The results speak for themselves. Therefore, based on my own experiences, if you want to build a strong following on Twitter then you have to do three main things: Provide something people want Get talking, make it personal and be sharing and caring Create viral tweets that will get people naturally recommending you, encouraging more people to follow.

Thus they demand to have physical copies of its artifacts, and grab all they can. It's classic hoarding behavior. But time is the limit here, not space.
