a series of beeps that sound like chuckling ] Share this quote General Dodonna : The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. Its defenses are designed around a direct, large-scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense. Gold Leader : Pardon me for asking, sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that? General Dodonna : Well, the Empire doesn't consider a small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense. An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station. But the approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes. Wedge Antilles (Red 2) : That's impossible! Even for a computer. Luke : It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters. General Dodonna : Then man your ships. And may the Force be with you.

fairly standard. It mostly serves to protect the agent from claims made by tenants, tradespeople etc for decisions made on the owners instructions. You are still able to pursue the agent if they have acted negligently or against your instructions. This is what was quoted on the contract "The principal undertakes to indemnify and keep indemnified the Agent against all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, costs and expenses whatever which may be taken of made against the Agent in the course of or arising out of the proper performance or excess of the powers duties or authorities of the agent under this agreement." So I am guessing this is not a regular or reasonable clause on a management agency contract? t Sounds reasonable to me. They are acting as your agent and so should be indemnified for any action that results in them performing this role. ie they are acting on your behalf. I have also struck this clause in some agency agreements I have been given. The key word here is "the PROPER performance", which means they can't expect to act IMproperly and still be indemnified. I'm not sure what to make of the phrase "EXCESS of the powers, etc" though, as it suggests they could do more than you asked of them.

The new commander, Lt. Gen. Matthew Ridgway, has already demonstrated that he has the great qualities of military leadership needed for this task. We are ready, at any time, to negotiate for a restoration of peace in the area. But we will not engage in appeasement. We are only interested in real peace. Real peace can be achieved through a settlement based on the following factors: One: The fighting must stop. Two: Concrete steps must be taken to insure that the fighting will not break out again. Three: There must be an end to the aggression. A settlement founded upon these elements would open the way for the unification of Korea and the withdrawal of all foreign forces. In the meantime, I want to be clear about our military objective. We are fighting to resist an outrageous aggression in Korea. We are trying to keep the Korean conflict from spreading to other areas. But at the same time we must conduct our military activities so as to insure the security of our forces. This is essential if they are to continue the fight until the enemy abandons its ruthless attempt to destroy the Republic of Korea. That is our military objective--to repel attack and to restore peace. In the hard fighting in Korea, we are proving that collective action among nations is not only a high principle but a workable means of resisting aggression.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival . Anyone who does theatre has heard of Fringe. It's become the mecca of fringe theatre and is the festival of all festivals. After 8 theatre companies put on their own shows at the first Edinburgh International Festival back in 1947, theatre troupes from all around the world have participated in what is now the largest open-to-all theatre festival. With over 2,500 shows to choose from, the festival can be quite overwhelming. Which is why I didn't bother looking up shows or making any sort of plan for my first adventure at Ed Fringe. As my first time, I wanted to soak in the atmosphere and just see what it was like. And the main reason why I had to go no matter how broke I be was that Lauren Rayner , a very dear friend and theatre colleague all throughout college, was in town with a show. There's no way I could not go up an see her. After spending the afternoon flyering on the Royal Mile in my light bulb blue bowler hat (from the London Olympic Closing Ceremony), the show Daughters of Lot had a full audience. I like to think is was my charm that pulled in punters from the street. Most likely it was me yelling, "Biblical burlesque! You know you're intrigued!"

course, are usually those people wrt whom community sentences have been tried and have failed - either because the offender refuses to complete them, or because (s) has gone on to commit further offences. And because, for most repeat minor (and not so minor) offenders, their 'sheet" will read: (a) conditional discharges; (b) if they haven't worked (or crime more serious), community sentences; (c) if they haven't worked, more community sentences (with or without "anger management" or drug treatment); (d) if they haven't worked, short prison sentence .. it is hardly surprising that your short prison sentences would see more recidivists than the previous one: because they will already be hardened recidivists by the time they even get to prison for the first time. But no, I forgot, it's not actually costs they want to reduce, what they want is to increase the trickle up effect and transfer even more money into the hands of the profiteers. In this case private prisons, which will doubtless grow in numbers over the next few years. Contrary to the claims of Civitas, prison is not the right place to rehabilitate the vast majority of offenders # No. But its the most effective way of keeping them off the streets and by definition stopping them from committing more crimes. There has to be a strong punishment and deterrence element in sentencing, not just endless opportunities for offenders to "rehabilitate". The most effective means of rehabilitating people must surely be to make them want never | OP | OP OB | 61,406 |
of a way to do it that was fail proof. I made one more attempt when I was about 18 and visiting someone who had a gun. He told me he always kept the gun loaded so I shouldn't muck about with it. I took the gun, put the barrel in my mouth and pulled the trigger but he had lied. The gun was not loaded. When I discovered I was pregnant I put my death wish away. I wanted the baby and it did not seem fair to bring a child into the world with no father then orphan him by killing his mother. I decided I would raise my baby and, when he turned 18, I would buy a gun and some bullets and kill myself then. It was a good plan but, like a lot of good plans, it had some flaws. The first occurred when, soon after the birth of my son, I became a born again Christian. God forbids murder and that includes self-murder. Four years later I got pregnant again. I not only had to wait for my second child to turn 18, I had to wait until I was desperate enough to disobey God. The final flaw in my plan did not become apparent until my children got older. Over time it became obvious, even to me, that my children loved me. I realised it did not matter how old my children got they would always want me around.

to give you details. But what I will say is that I've looked at hundreds of energy related inventions over the years and none have the potential of this one. Its quite obvious how it works, and operates silently inside a container without the need for any external power, water, or other inputs. There is no pollution. And the best part is that it serves as a mass energy storage system, efficiently storing power from one day to the next. I can say what it is not. It is not a Tesla device. It is not a solar or fuel cell device. It does not involve zero point energy or any other fabricated sciences. However, it was developed by a physicist with a strong entrepreneurial background. mmm very fascinating, what could generate its own power and store it as a capacitor..well im a nurse not a physicist s0 i guess ill just half to wait and see..it must be something so simple we cant see the forest for the trees.This is going to be like one of those songs i cant get out of my head,,a flywheel that gains energy from the earths rotation..if it is a magnetic engine i am going to be really mad because my 8th grade science teacher told me that was not possible!!!(and i listened to him)well i hope it comes out soon so i can quit thinking about it!!

that they cannot legally issue licences to net salmon this year due to the perilous status of the salmon population " [added emphasis]. The Ulster Angling Federation welcomes the information today from the Department of Culture Arts and Leisure (DCAL) that they cannot legally issue licences to net salmon this year due to the perilous status of the salmon population. This comes about as a direct result of the Ulster Angling Federation challenge to DCAL policy at the European Union Environment Directorate in Brussels. The Federation can confirm that the remaining salmon nets are in breach of the Habitats Directive as they are mixed stock fisheries, and as such are illegal due to the stock collapse on the River Finn in Donegal, a Special Area of Conservation for salmon. Sadly DCAL for some years refused to see commonsense. Following a meeting at the EU in Brussels on January 24th, DCAL have moved now in the face of threats of huge fines from Europe. The anglers have always taken the lead in salmon conservation, and recently have exerted very considerable pressure at Stormont on this issue via the "No To Salmon Nets" group. MLAs Robin Swann and Danny Kinahan have also worked extremely hard, and have been instrumental in focusing pressure on the issue. The Ulster Angling Federation policy on salmon has not changed since we commenced our campaigns on salmon in the late 1980s. This work intensified in the early 1990s and in 1993 we set up our sister organisation | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 796,147 |

Custom Made Sliding Wardrobes London Furniture Ltd As a young child watching films and TV shows depicting life in the future, a common feature was sliding automatic doors within the home. Now while this technology is certainly available for the very affluent, many of us are content with our swinging hinged doors. The same however can't be said for wardrobes. As we accumulate more clothes to keep up with the changing seasons, space within a bedroom becomes more limited and therefore all the more precious. Fitted wardrobes and under-bed storage are just some of the ways we save floor space and gather more storage room, but the functioning of our furniture can also have an impact. In order to maximise the space in your room consider bespoke sliding wardrobes from London Furniture Ltd. By having sliding doors there is no need to leave a wide berth of space for the doors to open and close. With years of experience in creating tailor made furniture for a range of commercial and domestic settings, we have a great understanding of how to make the most out of limited space and accessibility. The designs for our sliding wardrobes London are finalised and approved by you before we begin creating any physical furniture.

pocket and puts it back on her brother's head, we understand that Holden is still the catcher in the rye, the Savior who cares for children, but now he no longer wants to shield them from "real life." (One recalls Alesha's final speech: "Ah children, ah dear friends, don't be afraid of life!") It is at this point that Holden, entering upon maturity, becomes very like Kolia, allowing us to minimize most of the differences between them that we have noted up to this point. The chief difference that cannot be dismissed is that Mr. Antolini is a rather weak parallel to Alesha. But this seems not so important in light of the similar religious views of the boys. Each may be seen as a "secular Christian" - not believing in God, yet striving to love mankind - and looking to Jesus Christ for moral guidance while remaining agnostic as to His "divinity." A most gratifying thing for the thesis of this article is that Salinger's last chapter or two carry much the same 184 message as the concluding chapter of Brothers . There is the same culmination of a long movement from rebellion to acceptance, the same (implicit) perception that "all are responsible to all for all" - and there is even a possible echo of the structure of Dostoevsky's novel. Whereas Brothers has thirteen major sections, twelve books and an epilogue, Catcher has twenty-six chapters - just double the formal pattern in the earlier work.

the renkingest sound around Main menu Post navigation Kwes/DRC Music Interview Kwes is an artist I've been keeping tabs on for quite a while primarily because he's developed a really unique sound and he seems to have the knack of associating himself with similarly adventurous and individual fellow travelers (especially the mighty Micachu!). This interview was conducted for the DRC Music compilation which found him joining Damian Albarn, Actress, TEED and several others for a whirlwind visit to Kinshasa -- unfortunately there were some recording issues and I don't have the full transcript but since the interview never appeared here is what I do have and for once it's a reasonable length! How did you go about recruiting the musicians /divvying it up?? "To be honest we didn't go with any big plan in mind it was pretty much a case of letting it happen and going with it. For the main part we recorded stuff and then went off and sampled it and chopped it up or whatever and then sometimes we'd get the musicians or vocalists back to do more stuff later on. But really there was no set way of working and I helped out with one of Richard Russell's tunes, Actress and me worked together." No real egos "Not at all." Which tracks were you involved with?

development of auteurs as well as technically adept filmmakers. We were also very lucky to be part of an extremely talented class; we all helped each other through the four-year-program. The length of the program was important as it allowed us to try everything included in filmmaking, but then allowed us to start specializing during our final years. Q. What is next for you as filmmakers? Well, that is the big question. We have many concepts for feature-length films that we want to make, but many of those require very large budgets. Right now, we are trying choose a concept that we can develop and produce at a relatively low cost in order to start to make a name for ourselves as feature film directors. We would also love to direct other people's scripts. In terms of choosing scripts to take on, we are looking for films that we deem important to make. A lot of time and money goes into making films, and we want to always make sure that the films we are working on are worth putting into the world.

by rose pak and ed lee. Politics/issues can be complex and there can be genuine disagreement and multiple viewpoints on things. Politicians can vote contrary to your opinion on a matter without being in the pocket of evil powers. Sometimes it can actually be what they think is best. The sooner you stop deluding yourself that you're some freedom fighter and realize your opinion is not the absolute truth when some issues don't have an absolute truth, the better. Also, lillipublicans, you're not some scholar or expert who really understands how things work. You're delusional and all your expertise is imaginary. Stop talking politics and economics like you have any inkling of what you're talking about. Humble and approachable don't spring to mind. It's her world, we just live in it.

How many votes with the Mayor and his powerful backers will you accept as Christina just being her independent self? While the Bay Guardian does, in my opinion, have an obligation to support it's journalistic efforts with verifiable facts, the political endorsements of it's editorial staff fall within the realm of "opinion" and are not bound by such requirements.

Things fell apart about 3 weeks ago for me when I endured 48 hours of constant verbal bashing. We are 37 and have three kids.

in the number of badgers, which is an equation often made by the myth makers. What is clear is that changes to farming practices are not helping matters. The intensification of farming means that we have ever bigger herds, and all the evidence says that the bigger the herd, the faster the disease will spread within it once it takes root. Husbandry is another issue that we cannot dismiss. Yesterday in the Lobby we had a visit from Steve Jones , who is a dairy farmer in the Forest of Dean . He described eloquently the often less than ideal conditions in which cows were -- and still are in some instances -- kept, along with the increasingly intensive regimes to which the animals are subjected. For example, water troughs are often said to rarely be cleaned out. Over time, they can become reservoirs of the disease as the stagnating water collects various bacteria, typically over the winter months. He also talked about the practice of some farmers -- not all of them by any means -- who, even now, collect the slurry deposited during the course of a farming day, spread it over the land and immediately let some of their cattle to feed off those fields. I cannot believe that the hon. Lady believes that farmers who have had the disease and who have been testing their cattle every 60 days do not clean their water troughs.

But I think because the minute that personal computers were around, people wanted to use them to make music because you'd already had, throughout the sort of late 70s, you'd already had the sort of obsession with sequencers. People really were obsessed with sequencers and the possibilities for sequencers, like, sequencing synthesizers and stuff like that. Anyways, we had all these Ataris running Cubase... Back in school?

the battery, which requires them to be 'the pick of the Army'. Kipling lays particular stress on the fitness, toughness and steadiness required. Kipling's admiration for the Mountain Artillery is clear from two letters he wrote to Lieutenant W.H. Lewis RGA in 1911 and 1912. Kipling congratulated Lewis, whom he had met as an A.D.C. at Government House in Capetown in 1905, on being posted to 5 Mountain Battery, RGA in 1911, starting his letter with: 'Loud and earnest congratulations! A mountain-battery is Some Guns and what I know of No 5 Mountain Battery is that it's about as smart as they make 'em.' and in 1912 he wrote: 'I can't tell you how glad I am that you like both the life and the country ? Come to think of it, there is really nothing more complex than a mule-battery ? I used to know one or two fairly well and the subs used to tell me that one could put in an honest 10 hours a day of work without doing too much.' The first recorded use of mules to carry artillery pieces in the British army was at the end of 1813 when French troops withdrew into the Pyrenees before Wellington's advance. Small muzzle-loading 3-pounders were carried on pack mules by two small units, each with 3 guns and British and Portuguese personnel. These units were disbanded in 1814 but a similar unit was raised by the Royal Artillery for the British Auxiliary Legion which fought in | NARRATIVE | NA HA | 1,461,929 |

Immediately after lunch we high-tailed it to Venue 36 for a 2:05 P.M. play called 'Blakes Doors'. We'd met the director and the playwright at the SpaceUK media launch, and promised them we'd attend. Since Neal's 21A starts at 2:35 P.M. every day (except Tuesdays), today was a good day to go to their show. We did like the show, but we'd had a big lunch, and we were in a stuffy/warm dark room, and there was a lot of narrative. The acting was excellent, and it's always nice to see something original and new, even if you are struggling to keep your eyes open because you had a tough morning, a big lunch, and a lot of walking. We decided to walk up the Royal Mile after seeing Blakes Doors. Quite the carnival atmosphere. Lots of human 'statues'. Mirror man, ghostly white lady, invisible man guy.

There were some who participated because they feared what the cuts would do the police department's ability to fight crime and the fire department's ability to answer emergency calls. Others feared what the elimination of two jobs at the Kiley Youth Center would do to the facility's operations. Kevin Ferris, a firefighter with the Peekskill fire department, had more immediate and tangible concerns. He and his wife recently purchased a house and they have a kid on the way. Ferris found out last week that he would be one of the firefighters whose job will be slashed under Havranek's plan. "What am I supposed to do.....I didn't create this problem and neither did anyone else in this room," Ferris said as he addressed the common council. "It's up to you to step up." At least 200 people gathered in front of the Michael J. DiBart Neighborhood Center on Nelson, marched in to Peekskill city hall and attended Tuesday's common council meeting. Members of the police, firefighters and city workers unions wore bright red shirts in a show of solidarity. Havranek's proposal, which was released earlier this month, would slash 15 administrative positions, 10 public safety positions and six positions in the department of public works. The cuts are expected to save the city, which is facing a gap of about $5 million in this year's budget, a little more than $3 million.

Features planned for version 4.0 include a new UI, improved extensibility, revamped brushes and shapes system, antialiased selections, and adjustment layers. The improvements to the application model and rendering engine should also enable a rich set of features to be added throughout the 4.x lifetime. The target for this release is 2012. Fixed: Ctrl+Shift+A now works again as a shortcut for View -> Actual Size (broken in 3.5.9) Fixed: Ctrl+0 still works for View -> Actual Size even if 10 or more images are open (broken in 3.5.9, it would switch to the 10th image). Paint.NET v3.5.9 - released on October 1st, 2011 This update improves the "Auto-Detect" bit-depth feature, and fixes a few small issues. Improved: The "Auto-detect" bit-depth setting for PNG, BMP, and TGA now also determines which bit-depth to use based on which one produces the smallest file size, as well as which ones can save the image without losing fidelity. Improved: You can now use Ctrl+0 as a shortcut key for View -> Actual Size, in addition to Ctrl+Shift+A and Ctrl+Alt+0.

way of adding a scientific veneer to their ideology (which is essentially faith-based, as all economic ideologies are)? jimjial said, Great paper -- hopefully some politicians can be persuaded that RCTs can form a crucial part of policy making. Some comments do seem a little bit over-optimistic about the potential applications. Some comments point out that different people might be pursuing different policy goals. But I think a more important issue is that it is very difficult to come up with a control for many policy decisions. For example, it would be really great if someone could come up with an RCT to help set interest rates. Another big stumbling block is that it takes a lot longer than a parliamentary term to evaluate some of the most important policies.

Perhaps it is different here in the US, but as someone in the social science/politics/policy community, everyone I work with either runs experiments, uses quasi-experimental methods, or acknowledges experiments as the gold standard.

of the kind illustrated. As Slade has noted: "As advertising restrictions loom or become a reality, the surfaces of the pack itself remain available for communication to customers and potential customers. The increased interest these companies are showing in novel pack designs and in novel brands is likely to be a way of exploring how to market cigarettes in a limited advertising environment. The adaption of advertising to the pack itself in this manner is but another reason that a requirement for plain packaging is sound public policy." 14 The industry acknowledges the importance of the package as an advertising vehicle. In response to the new warning proposals, the Canadian Tobacco Manufacturers' Council (CTMC) complained "the package is at present one of the only remaining means manufacturers have of communicating with their customers." 12 However, the communication now is dishonest. The CTMC complains that the warnings "currently proposed so reduce the size and presentation of the brand elements on the packages as to render them virtually inert." 12 No one has ever said that if the truth were told about this product that brand elements would continue to retain the same impact. The warnings being considered would take Canada a giant step toward plain packaging. At a minimum, they would denormalise the industry's sophisticated packaging. Equally important, the fact that the government would require the product to be sold with such messages, thereby separating this product from other legitimate products in the marketplace, could be the most important warning message | IN | IN RA | 562,115 |

issues are gaining traction in a society that is rapidly devolving from the acceptance of traditional values to adherence of secular ideals not based in any one religion but on the ever evolving societal norms that a majority have come to accept as normal . Those who accept traditional values as, the standard, are divided among themselves on how best to express those values. In addition, traditional value voters can't seem to break through with their current methodological approach to reach others beyond their base.

Depending upon which side of the north-south Eyjafjallajkull drainage gradient an eventual new fissure might poke through, the resulting water pool and heated steam under the jkull will exert upward pressure and ultimately burst out either under the Steinsholtsjkull glacial tongue to the north (draining into the narrow upper valley of the Kross and down into the Markarfljt sandur) or will stream down a narrow gorge to the east of the (south) Godasteinn peak on Eyjafjallajkull, as indicated in the inset illustration -- within the Meteo article above."

I have proven in previous posts that leaving Islam, if that is what you choose to do is allowed & you can not be killed for it.

How to Live a Healthy Life in the 21st Century! With New Zealand being fourth in the world for the highest cancer rates, we might think we live in a green nation however this statistic indicates that we have a long way to go when it comes to our health. In this article I aim to help you regain your health and live a life that is abundantly full of health and well-being Diet Essentials: Firstly one of the most important steps you can take for your well being is to cut out processed white foods, so that means white flour, rice, bread, sugars etc, instead you can replace these with more wholesome alternatives such as chia seeds, quinoa, spelt flour and grains that have been sprouted. To add sweetness to our food there are many alternatives to sugar such as mesquite , lucuma fruit powder , and yacon syrup , these also have a multitude of health benefits which help to keep our bodies well and our immune systems strong. Secondly many health experts recommend cutting out diary products as once we leave behind infancy we stop producing the enzyme "lactose" which allows us to properly digest milk, it is therefore believed that the majority of people are lactose intolerant. This intolerance leads to health problems and creates a more acidic environment in our bodies which then weakens our immune system However if you do love diary it is better to always choose organic and diary that has had | HI | HI HT | 3,783,665 |
family, it all bore the stamp of truth. Later generations of Wyandots came to accept the story in its entirety. After all, everyone would love to have an Indian Princess as an ancestor, and who could ask for a better princess than Myeerah, daughter of the famous Tarhe, Grand Sachem of the Wyandots? Grey wrote that Tarhe was born in the beautiful Muskoka Lake region of Ontario, married a beautiful French captive, fathered a beautiful daughter and named her Myeerah, the name carried by his own mother and grand-mother. Actually Tarhe was born very near Detroit, the son of a woman of the Porcupine Clan. The name Myeerah, belonged to one of the Turtle clans. His grandmother may have been named Myeerah. It is certain that his mother was not. (It does appear to be true that the young girl, Myeerah, was beautiful) Tarhe?s own name is intriguing. The English meaning is unknown. The name is not believed to be a clan property name and it apparently died with the man. It may have been given to him because of some particular deed or attribute of the man or boy. Old-time Wyandots said the name meant ?at him? or ?at the tree?, or was perhaps the personification of ?the tree?. Tarhe?s great height lends credence tot the latter theory.; He was six feet four inches tall in an era when few men reached six feet.

collaboration with Jacques Ppin, Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home (1999) -- were all accompanied by books of the same names. The Way to Cook, her magnum opus, was published in 1989, and in 2000 she gave us Julia's Kitchen Wisdom, a distillation of her years of cooking experience. Her memoir, My Life in France, was published posthumously in 2006. She died in 2004. Julia is an absolute genius. I cook alot and some of the great tips in the dvd have been passed down to me from my mom. But, there were so many more. Obviously, the recipes are outdated in terms of fat/salt content. But just watching Julia in action and how she handles the food is worth the price. The companion book is wonderful and organized. I love this set. Amazingly, Julia Child is able to be many things - master chef, charming presenter, and inspiration. She is able to pick up all the elements of classic French cookery, and make us feel 'hey I can do that too.' Of course Child pioneered bringing French cooking ideals to America, overcoming hurdles and challenges of the 'old school elite' in France. Yet she relates it all with simplicity, warmth and great encouragement. In this DVD set Julia teaches cooking skills so effectively because she shares her passion and commitment - this all flows effortlessly from the core of her being with great warmth and charm. She serves culinary excellence because she WANTS to, and this is a great | IP | IP DS | 186,274 |

incidence of cancers diagnosed in the U.S. probably reflects more intensive screening programs, which diagnose more people with cancer. But, as stated above, its far from clear that diagnosing small prostate cancers based on PSA screening causes more good than harm. Most elderly men with prostate cancer do not die of that disease, but of heart disease or some other illness. (It is likely that some breast and lung cancers that are diagnosed through screening would also never come to light without screening.) In the U.S., these men with small, non-lethal cancers appear in the denominator of the O'Neill's calculation of cancer mortality rates, but not the numerator. In Canada, they appear in neither the numerator nor denominator. Thus, their estimate of cancer mortality rates is biased against Canada because of the higher screening rate in the U.S. 6-Income-based health disparities are, if anything, steeper in Canada than in the U.S. The O'Neills admit that health differences between those above and below the median income are sharper in the U.S. than in Canada. In fact, the differences between the top and bottom 10% are also bigger in the U.S., as are those between the top and bottom 25% etc. But the O'Neills want to measure health inequities on a new scale. They observe that the rich in the U.S. are much richer than the rich in Canada, and the poor are much poorer. Rather than comparing high and low income persons, they decide to analyze how much worse health gets | HI | HI FH | 570,618 |

Twitter Updates 25 October 2012 People with dementia need an independent voice Honestly, we hardly need more debate on how to ensure good quality care for older people with conditions such as dementia. Our ageing population represents a demographic time bomb and yet we have hardly progressed in protecting people's best interests. Why don't we ensure that those who are unable to speak for themselves can be heard? People need an individual voice to ensure their personal needs are respected, that considers all the decisions that relate to their lives; and a collective high-profile voice to fight their corner with the big organisations, like government, regulators and health and social care providers. Advocacy enables older people's voices to be heard by those who make decisions affecting their everyday lives. This is something that many older people simply do not have. As Kath Parson CE of independent advocacy charity OPAAL (of which I am a member) says in The Guardian, "This situation is not restricted to the frail and the vulnerable. Thousands of elderly people who have led active lives find themselves mute in the face of complex health and social care systems that leave them stunned by their very complexity." For a variety of reasons, most older people are unable to complain or express a view on the type and nature of care they need or want to receive. Worst of all perhaps, most are unable to influence the quality of service they have every right to expect or how | OP | OP OB | 3,724,833 |
Demonstrates how music is becoming unique mode of access into specific cites of cultural representation, exchange, contestation and the construction of experience New theoretical dimensions or inquiries characteristic of "the New Cultural History of Music" Features contributors at the forefront of both musicology and history This volume demonstrates the recent direction of cultural history, as it is now being practiced in both history and musicology, to grasp the realms of human experience, understanding and meaning-how they are constructed, negotiated and communicated on both an individual and a social level. Just as historians in their quest to understand the construction and transmission of meaning, musicologists are turning to new inquiries into cultural representations and their social dynamics, while remaining aware of music's distinctive "register" of representation as an abstract language and a performing art. As the case studies analyzed by musicologists and historians in this volume attest, both fields are not only posing similar questions but attempting to study music itself together with the relevant framing factors and contexts that imbued it with meaning. They are seeking to do so within a factually accurate yet theoretically sophisticated interpretation that combines the insights into language and semiotics characteristic of "the new cultural history" and "new musicology" of the 1980s and '90s with more recent sociological theories and their perspective on how symbols function within the larger field of social power.

be an NHL defenseman," coach John Hynes said. "For him, it's just about being consistent now. He has the talent, the ability. His game is capable of transferring quite well to the NHL. We just want to get him more consistent every day." He will probably head back to Pittsburgh once the lockout ends, but for now he'll continue to work on his game and help lead a talented group of defenders in the AHL. Marc-Andre Fleury hit the ice at Southpointe on Tuesday for his first appearance at the Penguins' informal workouts. He has spent the past few weeks playing in charity games throughout Quebec to stay relatively fresh, but he admits that they aren't the best method to prepare, especially, if you're a goaltender. "There was no hitting, pretty much no slap shots," he said. "It was more of an all-star type of game. [Games with scores such as] 10-9 and stuff like that, so it was kind of tough to play. There were a lot of two-on-zero breakaways, backdoor [plays], so it was kind of tough." He is still considering Europe as an option if the lockout continues, so he'll keep a close eye on negotiations this week.

tendency to overwrite and, at times, he doubles back over territory that he's already covered. But these are quibbles. getAbstract believes this persuasive book will alter your views about management and your fellow workers. If you supervise others and you haven't yet read it - what are you waiting for? The original book, The Human Side of Enterprise, by Douglas McGregor, was written in 1960, and is still relevant today. It brought out the discussion on how best to treat the workforce to increase productivity. McGregor outlined two basic approaches, Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X was about assuming that your workforce did not want to work, and approaching them with a "carrot and stick". Theory Y assumes that people want to be fulfilled in their work, and that by addressing that need, people would naturally increase productivity. This version of the book has been annotated with commentary by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld. The introduction talks not only of the value of the original book, but how is applies to current and future challenges. Throughout the book there are useful annotations, indicating where research or literature written since the book has picked up on a particular point. This is one of those books which I would recommend to anyone looking to study leadership or management, as a good, and very readable, grounding in the thinking about how to treat the human resource in the organisation. | IP | IP DS | 228,329 |
his own personal copy. Paddy Works. There is no broadside as such. There are broadsides possibly related with this title and similar c1850 all mentioning Greenock in Scotland. There is useful info on it in Folk Songs of the Catskills where they mention a sheet music copy seemingly written by J. B. Geoghegan in the Levy Collection. It mentions tunewise the connections to 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home' which is also claimed by Geoghegan. 'Paddy works on the Erie' about canal building may be older. When was the Erie Canal built? I'm pretty certain it must be an American song of Irish navvies inspired perhaps by the Scottish song. Well, I was able to see a preview on-line of Chappell. I was just trying to find out when Chappell published "Spanish Ladies" for the very first time. There were some misleading links suggesting that "Music of the Olden Time" existed as early as 1850, however, I guess the actual publication dates of the volumes range from 1855-59. In mentioning "Spanish Ladies," however, Chappell says that he had it in his earlier work, which must be his "Collection of National English Airs." Those volumes range from 1838-1840. I have not been able to see the text to verify. Marryat gave "Spanish Ladies" in his POOR JACK of 1840, and Chappell implies that that came after his own offering. For now, that is close enough for me -- since I am not trying to track down the origins of the song. Steve, | ID | ID DF | 3,037,219 |
Welcome to my beauty blog. Here I will share with you tips and tricks of the trade. I thought I'd start with the basics. Foundation. 1- MOISTURIZE. To get the perfect base you need to start with a moisturizer suited to your skin type. If you have oily skin then apply an oil free or an oil absorbing moisturizer. If you have dry skin then use a rich creamy moisturizer but go easy. You don't want a slick base for your foundation to just slide right off. Let the moisturizer set for a few minutes. If your foundation has no SPF I'd advise your moisturizer has an SPF of 15-30 2- PRIME- Then if you tend to get oily, or your foundation never seems to stay on, apply a primer. I recommend the Smashbox Photofinish foundation primer. Found at any Smashbox store or online. Let it set before the next step. I use this primer on every face I work on. 3- FOUNDATION- Now lets apply foundation. I highly advise to use a light foundation first on your entire face. My Favourites are M.A.C face and body, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation or on the cheaper side of things the LOreal True Match Liquid foundations. All are all very light, they even out skintone with out caking up. Using a makeup sponge or the tips of your fingers, apply dots of foundation on your chin, cheeks, forehead and tip of the nose. Makeup artists swear by foundation brushes to apply product. | HI | HI HT | 1,762,169 |
common ground on cutting entitlement programs 'It is going to be extraordinarily difficult. The issue is that words matter. If you ask the average person in the street about, for example, their social security benefits, they will say we have paid in, it is our money, we have earned it, I am getting it back. It is not welfare, it is not charity. It is equivalent to a private, fully-funded pension fund. It isn't. It is essentially extremely underfunded. In fact, if we were to go to a fully-funded system, comparable to those fully-funded private systems, we would have to cut benefits by the equivalent of 4% points of payroll taxes or raise payroll taxes by the equivalent amount. Those are very large numbers and would suggest that yes, indeed, people have put money in, but certainly not enough to fund what they are getting back. The notion that we have to confront is that people do not think that this is any different from a private fund. The trouble is that it is'. On tax policy 'The problem basically is that we have tried for decades to somehow manage our budget in such a way that, yes we can run deficits of this or that size, and we use it sophisticatedly for fiscal policy.

They think, [dramatic voice] "It's a mess." AW: [Dramatic voice] "This doesn't make sense." LW: "This doesn't make any sense." And they reject it, just out of an almost knee-jerk response to some ambiguity or some gulf between what they expect they should be able to understand, and what they understand.

I'm aiming for a PC release in the foreseeable future, and these are my two cents: If you go with either GLFW or XNA you'll have to create an installer. Partly for the data files, but also to install OpenAL/XNA redistributables. There are serious issues with switching between fullscreen and windowed for those, however. If you go with Flash you can either do some tweaking by yourself (create a projector with the Flash player, add icons and remove menus with ResHacker, add AS3 commands to disable the right click menu, and so on), or wrap it with some program. This is pretty convenient, but if you want to allow switching between fullscreen and windowed, you have to modify the AS template to allow interpolated scaling.

She's written in with a touching love story: For all the sentimentality brought out by the Diamond Jubilee, I have yet to come across a more romantic story linking the Royal Family to the lives of the everyday public than the story of Elizabeth Bird and her late husband Rex. In 1953, Mrs Bird was a young teenage woman on The Mall to celebrate the Queen's Coronation when she met a young man who was a brewer but was thinking of going into the ministry. The pair talked, and he took her hand, telling her he would look after her through the crowds. They parted afterwards but some years later, he wrote to Elizabeth asking if she would like to meet up. They met a number of times before marrying in 1958 and Mr Bird became the Reverend Rex Bird of Lavernham, Suffolk. Rex and Elizabeth would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary two weeks after Mr Bird's death, aged 78, in 2008. They managed to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary days before, receiving letters of congratulations from the Queen and the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

not others. It is only by looking at all the studies together that we can form a picture of whether health concerns have some justification. It is no consolation to a parent that their child may not be affected, if there is a chance that their child will be affected. There is every prospect that the studies that fail to show a link may simply be studying the particular people who are not affected, or the people who are not affected YET. Many of the negative studies didn't include long-term users so the people studied might have gone on to develop cancers.

It will now be a quick and easy job to update the obit again when it is needed. Radio and television Obituaries such as we have described in this chapter are mostly for newspapers. Radio and television cannot do this job in quite the same way. They can carry the news story of a person's death, but it can only contain the most basic of biographical detail - too much detail will quickly become impossible to listen to. When a major figure dies, however, radio and television can broadcast a program devoted to the story of the person's life, together with interviews with people who knew them and worked with them. It can also include recordings of the person speaking, as illustration of the way they thought and acted. | HI | HI HT | 749,710 |
outcomes. In other respects, they are similar to team building. They, too, typically move from information exchange to interpretation to planning. The point is this... Techniques such as role negotiation and search (and many others) generate and interpret information. For the most part they are used primarily to bring about change. They can also be pressed into effective service as tools for action research. When used for action research, more care is usually taken to validate the information and interpretation. They then also become more effective tools for change. The selection criterion for planners is: Who is best placed to convert the understanding of the situation into plans for change? All else being equal, my own usual answer is: those who are going to be affected by the change. Sometimes, as before, you may decide to include outsiders with special knowledge. You may then also have to decide if they are to be full participants, or advisors to those more directly affected. Much of the time you can use them effectively by allowing them to offer information, but leaving the planning to the stakeholders. 8 Participants as implementers Finally, plans are implemented. Here the choice is usually relatively easy. The simple criterion is: who is in a position to implement the plans?

effect than actor, it didn't matter what any critic said about him and his films -- they did fantastically well at the box office, crap as they might well have been. What particularly pleased me was, originally, the BBC didn't want to review foreign-language or arthouse films because they thought that with the programme being on BBC1, the films reviewed had to be mainstream. I argued that this was rubbish and there were some bloody good films in those categories, and I ended up reviewing them anyway. I did have quite a considerable influence on the size of the audiences for those types of cinema. I felt these were ambitious films was trying to do something other than merely entertain, so I was very happy about that result. During your career, were there any debut filmmakers who you rightly predicted would go on to bigger and brighter things? I can't honestly say as I was terribly good at spotting that kind of talent. I was always weary of it as many first-time directors who had done a great film, usually didn't turn out that way. Their second, third and, if they were lucky, forth films normally weren't nowhere near as good as that first feature. Are you much of a cinemagoer nowadays? Not really.

In this second article our Head of Teacher Training, Vince Ferrer, reflects on the use of the mother tongue to promote noticing and how translation may be a classroom aid to scaffold learner language. With the emergence of research into the role of form-focused instruction, teacher-researchers have begun to acknowledge the mother tongue as a legitimate tool with the potential to facilitate learning mainly in accuracy-based tasks. This article reports on the findings from a comparative study of teachers', teacher educators' and students' perceptions carried out in Spain. The participants give their views on the desirability of, at times, providing learners with the English translation of what they are trying and finding difficult to say as a way of scaffolding or aiding their output. Results suggest that such scaffolding may be conducive to noticing on the part of the learners of the gap existing between their current inner grammar and the target grammar. Introduction The mother tongue in Second Language Acquisition has taken different swings depending on which theoretical framework was in vogue at any one particular time. While direct methods in the first half of the twentieth century saw no place whatsoever for the first language (L1) in the classroom, the grammar-translation method used the mother tongue so extensively and at the expense of target language (L2) practice that, even today, translation is in many instances regarded as an illegitimate practice because of its associations with this method.

years meticulously researching historical facts for the film and immersed himself and his team in a complete examinantion of the Napoleonic era. Kubrick built a scrupulous day-by-day description of court life, which included an index of approximately 15000 images of the period. Ever the perfectionist, the director sought after specialist lenses that would enable him to film exteriors in the evening and even discovered a cheap paper fabric to be used for the soldiers' uniforms. In another attempt to keep costs down, Kubrick also obtained an agreement from the Romanian army to supply multiple thousands of soldiers for use in the epic battle scenes he planned to film. However, by 1969 the sheer magnitude of Kubric's grand production caused MGM to refuse to provide the exorbitant costs that the director had tried to keep at a minimum. Despite the enormous financial success of his previous film, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), MGM simply refused to foot the bill for Kubrick's particularly indulgent project. Therefore, the director approached Warner Brothers to provide the funding instead. However, he again failed to spark enough interest in a project of Napoleon's size, but went on to make A Clockwork Orange (1971) instead. Kubrick never gave up hope for finding funding for his hiostorical epic, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be.

I looked at cookbooks, I read blogs, I stood on a chair and peered into the recesses of the pantry and still nothing worked.

celebrity culture and the paparazzi attention that follows it, so hiring tabloid-target Lohan made all the sense in the world. "I think it was a very smart decision on a lot of levels," Bowler said. "And it has been interesting, because reading the press before we started, there was a lot of questioning, like, 'Why cast Lindsay as Elizabeth Taylor?' And then right from the start, by the very fact that the tabloids were running around after it, you had your answer." Lohan also makes for a pretty spot-on Liz Taylor, given that they both know what it feels like to always have someone speculating about your personal life. "I mean, these were the two most written-about people of their day, far more notorious or scandalous a relationship, if you like, than any that's gone on since. The pope made a comment on their relationship officially from the Vatican. I don't think that's ever happened again. It kind of tops a Brangelina or anything that we've got these days.

can not be determined, he apparently departed sometime in mid-August. His last London sketch is dated August 4th, and there are no sources to indicate that he was in London after that date. On September 6th, Sickert's mother wrote from St. Valry-en-Caux, describing how Walter and his brother Bernhard were having such a "happy time" swimming and painting there. A letter sent by a French painter, Jacques-Emile Blanche, to his father described a visit with Sickert on September 16th. Walter's wife Ellen wrote to her brother-in-law on September 21st, stating that her husband was in France for some weeks now. There is evidence to suggest that Sickert stayed in the Dieppe area at least until early October, 1888. He painted a local buther's shop, "flooded with sunlight" in a piece he titled The October Sun . Although any one of these several bits of evidence could feasibly be ignored or explained away, the combination of all these independent sources confirming the same thing - namely, that Sickert was in France at the time of the Nichols, Chapman, Stride and Eddowes murders - suggests that Sickert could not have been the killer. While it is true that ferry service between England and France was widely available, and technically Sickert could have travelled back and forth before and after each murder, that is pure speculation and there is no evidence to suggest this was the case.

of more than two decades since the end of the Cold War, the question still remains about the boundaries of the new Middle East. After the events of 9/11 and following the military intervention of the US and its allies in Afghanistan, and the later extension of their military campaign to Pakistan, there were some suggestions that Pakistan and Afghanistan have to be considered as part of the new Middle East. That proposal is just one of many indications that perhaps a new criterion regarding the boundaries of the new Middle East at least in the nuclear domain is needed. Second, extension of the agenda; the idea of a nuclear free zone in the Middle East was first proposed by Iran and co-sponsored by Egypt in 1974. Ever since, a variant of thinking for the establishment of a NFZ in the Middle East has been introduced. Most importantly is the 1995 NPT Review Conference that extended the domain of the NWZ to all weapons of mass destruction (WMD), namely biological and chemical weapons. The proposal was made by the Arab countries in which Egypt had the leading role. By extending the mandate of the Conference and to include Chemical, Biological and the WMD delivery systems in the agenda, in reality and in practical terms, the process became more complicated with the tradeoffs involved. With that decision, the prospect of NWZ became even more elusive than before. The motives of Mubarak's Egypt and other Arab countries that supported this proposal was | IP | IP | 88,786 |
American story. Hoover took important and proactive steps to assuage the damage of the continuing depression. His reputation as a successful engineer followed Hoover into the onset of economic tragedy. He proactively used the tools allotted to the U.S. government under the ideological confines which limited him. Hoover, like all of his predecessors, were constrained by the firm ideology that government had little place in business affairs. In the framework of this ideology, Hoover held many meetings with captains of industry and implored them to do what the federal government could not: put liquid capital back into the economy and bolster confidence in American markets. Corporate leaders did not slash their own earnings, however, and gradually cut wages, then hours, then both, resulting in numerous layoffs for American workers. In response, Hoover initiated public works program and created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to bail out the many banks that were going under. Hoover was also constrained by the Gold standard. Roosevelt did not have a grand plan for getting America out of the Depression. He pragmatically asserted that "it is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something." In short, the important thing was to try. With his popular mandate, Roosevelt experimented with his government and expanded government's role in American life.

Spring Creek mines, Nuplex and APN in Auckland, and many, many others -- manufacturing is in crisis in New Zealand. 40,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost since 2008 when National came to government and there are more layoffs to come [xii] . Some 65,000 more New Zealanders are unemployed [xiii] and that's not counting what Bill English now calls the "safety valve" [xiv] of 54,000 other New Zealanders giving up and moving permanently to Australia in the last year alone -- an all-time record. So we desperately need a high-value manufacturing strategy in this country. Gone are the days when manufacturing was just some unskilled worker bolting two parts together. That style of manufacturing is now inevitably done in low-wage countries. In most cases, we simply can't compete with Asia when it comes to large-scale, low-cost manufacturing. However, we're not out of the race, by any means. According to Statistics New Zealand, there are about 22,700 manufacturing businesses in New Zealand [xv] , which together produce about $20 billion of sales [xvi] . $20 billion. I believe we could triple that, not by lowering our environmental standards or paying our workers less, but doing what we do so well. New Zealand is very good at thinking small and thinking smart.

feel it incumbent on them to do the next best thing, that is, to secure and throw open such fields as lie nearest to London on any side. The same duty appears to me to lie before the Corporation and the City Companies, and the more because the poor, having been a good deal driven out, the funds left for their benefit from the City, which these bodies have inherited, might well be applied to such an object as this. The Metropolitan Board of Works has, I understand, done a good deal in keeping and buying open spaces, but yet more is needed, I believe, and perhaps they may see their way to help.

More About the Author Mike Slaughter is Lead Pastor and Chief Dreamer of Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church in Tipp City, Ohio. Located in the struggling "rust belt," Ginghamsburg strives to be the hands and feet of Jesus, serving those in need from Dayton to Darfur. Under Mike's leadership, the church has grown from 90 worshipers a week to over 5,000. Mike's books include "Christmas Is Not Your Birthday," "Change the World," "Spiritual Entrepreneurs," "Real Followers," "Momentum for Life," "UnLearning Church," and "Upside Living in a Downside Economy." Out on the edge of the traditional congregation a media reformation is occurring. One place where this reformation can be seen is at Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City, Ohio. Another place is in this book by its lead pastor. Michael Slaughter has been the lead pastor of this congregation since 1979. Upon his arrival at Ginghamsburg he found 90 persons who existed as a dying United Methodist congregation. At the time of this writing, a core membership group of more than 1000 persons provide five weekend worship experiences for more than 3000 persons. The congregation has a contemporary style that attracts preChristians, seekers, and others on the edge of Christianity. Simultaneously, for those who understand the subtle presentation of theology and Christian symbolism, there are more than enough places to connect with spiritual trandition and culture. Through the medium of this book Michael Slaughter shares his convictions concerning the life and death nature of the media reformation, a postmodern approach to congregation, and | IP | IP DS | 553,067 |
