group of which he is a member may have fixed its choice on a forest, a lake, a river; another group may find it more convenient to settle in that very same place than to look further afield. There is now nothing for it but to fight the matter out. We have taken the case of a hunting forest, or a lake for fishing; it may just as well be a matter of fields to be cultivated, women to be seized, slaves to be carried off. In the same way reasons will be brought forward to justify such dealings. But no matter the thing taken, the motive adduced: the origin of war is ownership, individual or collective, and since humanity is predestined to ownership by its structure, war is natural. So strong, indeed, is the war instinct, that it is the first to appear when we scratch below the surface of civilization in search of nature. We all know how little boys love fighting. They get their heads punched. But they have the satisfaction of having punched the other fellow's head. It has been justly said that childhood's games were the preparatory training to which nature prompts them, with a view to the task laid on grown men. But we can go further, and look on most of the wars recorded in history as preparatory training or sport.

from the teacher? There is a case for wideinging the net for feedback as commetned by Steve Wheeler and I'm trying this out with the afformentioned Viral Videos topic at the moment. In the Media Masters model assessment is summarised in 2 ways Skills development (formative assessment) Collected badges on a final digital trasnsript (summative assessment) These then combined on a digital portfolio. 2 Using badges for the gamification of education A lot of my students are gamers, both boys and girls. They are used to the rewards systems on the play station network and also Xbox live. Although I have accounts for both I have dabbled in either area in much detail. In both these systems the awarding of "trophies"/"awards" takes place and is managed outside the playing of the games. For this system to be implemented and used in the classroom students would be rewarded for the design of their "game". The term "game" could refer to an activity carried out by the students but one of the key factors is the learning environment created. This model although popular in both systems is sufficient reward or motivation for students. We are currently developing a house system in school where this would be relevant but in terms of merits I have found from personal experience that competition between students for such systems are not a motivational tool.

Excellent stuff, Gibb. Today I received an email from 'Billy Weekes' who is lurking. He tells me that somewhere in the thread you have assumed that the Chatham Theatre is in London (where Wallack performed his theatrical chanty). NYC stands for New York City. Although he was claiming to be an ex RN lieutenant he was performing in New York and actually managed this theatre. Like many aspects of traditional music where cross-overs occur from one genre to another, or one place to another, the traffic is almost always a 2-way affair if not equally so. &cdHere are some references to the 1850's.

and suppose that Ezekiel here gives a Babylonian, as in Ezekiel 1:2 a Jewish, date; but it is not certain that this accession formed an era in Babylon and Ezekiel does not elsewhere give a double date, or even a Babylonian date. Others date from the 18th year of Josiah, when Hilkiah discovered the Book of the Law (supposed to be a jubilee year): this would give 594 b.c. as the 30th year, but there is no other instance in Ezekiel of reckoning from this year. The captives - Not in confinement, but restricted to the place of their settlement. The fourth month - "Month" is not expressed in the original. This is the common method. Before the captivity the months were described not by proper names but by their order, "the first, the second," etc.; the first month corresponding nearly with our "April." After the captivity, the Jews brought back with them the proper names of the months, "Nisan" etc. (probably those used in Chaldaea). Chebar - The modern "Khabour" rises near Nisibis and flows into the Euphrates near "Kerkesiah," 200 miles north of Babylon. Visions of God - The exposition of the fundamental principles of the existence and nature of a Supreme God, and of the created angels, was called by the rabbis "the Matter of the Chariot" (compare 1 Chronicles 28:18 ) in reference to the form of Ezekiel's vision of the Almighty; and the subject was deemed so mysterious as to call for special caution in | OP | OP RS | 647,437 |

Alec Saunders hints sideloading wont be possible in the future See the tweet below, but Alec Saunders basically informed us that in future versions, sideloading apps wont be an option on the playbook. I for one would be very disappointed if this happened. Most of the android apps that I actually use are sideloaded. This is better for the eco-systems, this is a reason developers aren't developing. They think somebody will be able to get their application, officially without the use of distributors. (E.g App-World, Google Play, etc...) This is what we are doing with side-loading... Not surprising. There will be "side loading" still possible because that is how the devs load apps to their PB to test. My guess is you will have to have certain tokens and what not though to do this in the future. This will help with all the pirating going on for sure though.

of them, but generally speaking it seems to me that female designers are more oriented towards designing web layouts than UI or coding HTML, CSS, etc. Have You Ever Experienced Any Negativity or Sexism Being in This Industry? Fortunately no, although sometimes I think that when I was younger I was taken less seriously because I'm a female. Still, it may have been so primarily because I was strongly focused on illustrations while they were much less popular than they are now. What I have noticed is that male-dominated web communities (forums etc) are much more cautious when criticizing design work of a woman than they are when the author is male. I don't think that's good, but with time you learn to filter the feedback you get, including the praise. Do You Think Female Designers Have Advantages Over Their Male Counterparts? Now I think that being a woman can be an advantage because we maybe have a different approach that is sometimes useful, and being a minority we are easier to notice. I, for one, do not like the separation of "male" and "female" design because I think that design is not so defined by the designer's gender as it is by his/hers skills of producing design that appears as "male" or "female". I know a lot of both male and female web designers and I think that their skill, approach, and client treatment are much more important for this profession than their gender.

but now you say there were explosions. If it's 'nano-thermite' (a novel material demonstrated in laboratory quantities) that would be an explosion, with a bang. It's not ordinary thermite with a (pretty impressive) splutter. Whats the point of using an untested explosive that makes a bang when something like C4 or semtex is incredibly effective on steel, has a massive test history, has proven technology for simultaneous detonations and could easily be passed off as something in possession of the islamists if the CIA got rumbled? Where did the alleged pools of molten metal come from if it was high explosive or explosive 'nano-thermite'? None of this clandestine, controlled demolition using thermite stuff stands up to scrutiny. Comment number 96. So if the aim of the sinister shadowy figures was to bring down the towers, and then blame it on Osama Bin Laden/Al Qaeda/Generic Arab Terrorists, why didn't they repeat the MO of the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing, in which a truck full of explosives was detonated in the underground car park and which almost caused the collapse of one of the towers, which would have then crashed into the second. This wouldn't have required any crazy thermite/demolition charges/planes, and would require about 99% less planning and preparation. Instead, the truth movement would have you believe that three whole towers were rigged with demolition charges while not a single one of the 6000 or so people that worked in them noticed a thing.

Hence, it is difficult to say that the divine mind even has such things as thoughts and judgments, because a thought, in any sense of this word that we are familiar with, is, presumably, something that has a beginning and an end. God's mind is sitting in the same state for all of eternity. A very complex, grand, incomprehensible state. So it becomes a daunting task to demonstrate that this state, or any part of it, has thoughts or decisions, etc. Other problems arise with the supposed interaction between a timeless "spirit" or state and our worldly existence. Ordinary traditional Christianity, for example, holds that we can pray to God and God answers prayers; that God speaks to prophets and perhaps even to us individually, sometimes; and so forth. But in order for God to do these things, God must, at least in some sense, exist in time. The claims about God don't seem to lend themselves to a coherent picture. God is supposedly a mind, but this mind differs radically from the human mind, because, first, it has the ability to create physical objects out of nothing, through thought alone; and, second, it does not have any series of thoughts at all, but remains in the same mental state, apart from time, or as it were throughout eternity. And yet, straining our powers of interpretation, God is supposed also to perform individual acts, such as doing miracles and answering prayers, at particular times .

of all. Do warnings work? There is ample evidence to conclude that smokers and potential starters do not understand either the nature of the risks or the magnitude of the dangers of tobacco products. Many understand that "smoking is bad for you." But beyond this superficial level of awareness, knowledge levels of risk are inadequate. 15 In 1989, the United States surgeon general reported that smokers were "unaware of even the most rudimentary health risk information about smoking." 16 In 1996, even with Canada's stronger warnings in effect, only 64% of respondents could identify lung cancer as a tobacco risk. Addiction was known to only 26%. 17 Cunningham reviewed Canadian tobacco industry documents and discovered an extraordinary underestimation of risk. 6 Recent evidence shows that the situation has not improved. 18 19 Warnings can have a positive impact on consumers, especially on starters and those contemplating quitting smoking, if the warnings are highly visible and provide specific rather than general information. 16 20 Recent Polish evidence shows direct increases in awareness and reductions in consumption as a result of new warnings. Zatonski says that 3% of male smokers and 4% of female smokers reported quitting following the introduction of strong warnings. 21 Although these percentages seem modest, when considered across an entire population, such an impact translates into an extraordinary health gain for the Polish people.

the conspirators would have wanted take advantage of the confusion during the attacks on WTC-1 and WTC-2 and to vacate the area ASAP) but the fact of damage resulting from the collapse of WTC-1 severing seven columns of WTC-7 only adds further plausibility to the theory that ultimately fire caused a cascade failure of the structural steel supporting the building. Steel melts at around 2950 degrees F but is actually hot rolled at around 1400 degrees F. A sustained fire from burning diesel fuel would have been sufficient to raise the temperature of the steel columns on the lower floors to the point where they could no longer sustain the weight of the entire structure above them. The massive steel failures along with many events during the collapse would have reverberated throughout the building creating explosion-like sounds. However they are not evidence of any deliberate detonations. The forensic scientists and engineers who studied the problem are in a far better position to know what likely happened than armchair spy novel enthusiasts or those with political agendas are to guess about failure of technology they do not understand. BTW, having worked in both the steel and construction industry and seen probably about a million tons of structural steel made from iron ore, coal, and limestone through to fabricated steel construction shipped to building sites, I find the official explanation entirely plausible in light of the facts, the conspiracy theory entirely implausible.

A Friend Of Mine." First he explained, "I learned this song from Eric von Schmidt, who learned it from DYLAN, who learned it from ME" and then went on to say that each had added and changed the song to suit his own inclination until really neither of them could make claim to it's original authorship. "About 20 years ago," he said, "we finally all got together to try to figure out where the song started," Dave, Bob, Eric and a bottle of rum. Half way through the bottle they came to a vote to split the royalties for the song three ways. "It was a democratic vote... two to one" On his 1995 CD release, "Dave Van Ronk, From Another Time And Place" he credits two tracks to Dylan: "The Old Man" and "He Was A Friend Of Mine." All of the "thieving Dylan" rumors really tick me off. None of them seem to have any real facts or evidence behind them. Like this one for example, Dylan never recorded "He Was a Friend of Mine" so it would be totally pointless for him to go through the trouble of paying off some guy that he stole the song from.

For the moment I think that the Chinese are doing a pretty good job - given the very difficult position they find themselves in. The biggest danger is in it being taken over by nationalist fanatics. We need to engage positively with the Chinese in every way we can. Luckily for us all we have this financial problem, and the climate problem.

"It is an economy that does not innovate - it is the great copier and counterfeiter of Western technology. This may change over the next 200 years, but not during the lifetime of most of the people reading this column." This comment casts doubt on how much we should rely on Will Hutton's prognistications and knowledge and interpretation of economic and industrial history. China is already innovating in for example open source approaches to manufacturing and development of components. Initial reliance on copying and reverse engineering has been a common feature in many newly industrialising countries. The progression to innovation has been uneven. But as a broad generalisation, like the overall pace of industrialisation, it has quickened. Even without its immense history and culture of invention, it is to be expected that China will be an economy that will very quickly develop and benefit from strengths in innovation.

Make sure the mountings are strong, as an ice box will take some stopping if you hit the car in front of you at 60km/h. This is not a particularly hard DIY if you're handy with a welder and grinder, but the more time you take, the neater the fitment will be and the better the barrier will look. By the time you fabricate the cargo barrier and give it a nice coat of paint, allow a day to make it and overnight for the paint to dry.

Take note of any possible mounting points and check for things to avoid. This car is owned by a family man with two young children so the baby seat anchor points need to be easily accessed.

I feel you on this one, friend. I definitely have moments where I feel like I've lost the blogging love, but then that feeling disappears if I make a post, get a lovely comment, an email, whatever. I've never lost the love enough to throw in the towel, but I am glad I don't beat myself up for not posting as often as other folks! I obviously know all about losing the blogging love feeling/motivation... since I quit blogging lol. I think it's important to just stay true to yourself though... blog if and when YOU want to and/or feel the need to share. After all that is what it is all about.

On April 11, 2006, Leon Paige left the magazine in when clearing his Glock, foolishly pulled the trigger in a room full of kids (talk about desensitization), and ended up with a limp.

Breast Lumps: What's Normal, What's Not So you found a lump -- now what? Though all breast lumps need to be evaluated by a trained medical professional, the majority turn out to be noncancerous, especially in younger women. First, don't panic... Like what you're reading? Then LIKE us on Facebook! 80 to 85 percent of breast lumps are benign, meaning they are noncancerous, especially in women younger than age 40. Not only that, but if you're at an age where you've been having regular mammograms, and if those mammograms have been negative, odds are even better that your palpable (capable of being felt) lump is not cancer. But how do you know? How do you differentiate between a lump that is breast cancer and one that is benign? What causes benign breast lumps? And do they go away on their own? Breast Lumps Distinctions Your breasts are made up of fat, nerves, blood vessels, fibrous connective tissue, and glandular tissue, as well as an intricate milk-producing system of lobules (where the milk is made) and ducts (the thin tubes that carry milk to the nipple). This anatomy in and of itself creates a lumpy, uneven terrain. | HI | HI HT | 3,155,612 |
horizontally* (I check that they fall under their own weight when the vehicle is held on its side), but not vertically. The brass rivet needs to be fully 'home'. The rivets can be tightened by pressing a suitable nail into the hole in the top of the rivet. (rest the bottom (head) of the rivet on a solid surface (vice for instance) and press the nail into the top to fix/tighten the rivet. (In the absence of a press a gentle tap with a light hammer might work.) Conversely a thin steel rod will allow the rivet to be pushed out (and reused in contrary to drilling it out) to remove couplings for reuse, derusting** etc.. *The couplings will still function if one of them is stiff/seized, but not both. Stiffness is another source of undesired uncoupling, as it won't give the flexibility needed to go around curves (especially the Dublo tramway type). **I use a brass brush in a mini drill for this. In mild cases the rust goes, but not the finish. Other types of couplings seem less susceptible. Kadees and X2fs* seem to stay locked and the vertical acting coupling are held coupled by their weight, though even here 'bounce' will provoke unwanted uncoupling. Here the same rules of free movement and standard height apply. * These have a section of the uncoupling dropper which helps to prevent the hooks getting out of alignment.

interviewers ask to speak with the youngest adult of the opposite gender, who is now at home. This method of selecting respondents within each household improves participation among young people who are often more difficult to interview than older people because of their lifestyles. Unlike a landline phone, a cell phone is assumed in Pew Research polls to be a personal device. This means that, for those in the cell sample, interviewers ask if the person who answers the cell phone is 18 years of age or older to determine if the person is eligible to complete the survey. What if I only have a cell phone -- am I represented in your surveys? Nearly all of the surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center now include people who only have cell phones (see About Our Survey Methodology in Detail for more information). As the proportion of Americans who rely solely or mostly on cell phones has continued to grow, sampling both landline and cell phone numbers helps to ensure that Pew Research surveys represent nearly all adults. However, there are several challenges and extra costs associated with sampling cell phones and conducting cell phone surveys . Don't you have trouble getting people to answer your polls? Yes. The percentage of people we interview -- out of all we try to interview -- has been declining over the past decade or more. There are many reasons for this.

Issue Summary: Abortion Abortion refers to the voluntary termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the death of the fetus or embryo. Abortions performed prior to the third trimester are legal in the United States, although the issue has polarized mainstream political parties. Almost all state Democratic Party platforms support abortion while almost all state Republican Party platforms oppose it. Pro-choice groups believe that a woman should have access to whatever health care she needs and that she should have control over her own body. Pro-life groups believe that the embryo or fetus is "alive" and thus abortion is tantamount to murder. Finally, there is the issue of state intervention: to what degree should the state have a say in a pregnancy? Cited in American Prospect , the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) asserts that women's reproductive rights are more restricted now than at the time of Roe in 1973. There are two questions at the forefront of the debate: should "partial birth" abortions ("intact dilation and extraction") be legal and should first trimester abortions remain legal? Current Status The most controversial issue is the so-called "partial birth" abortion, a rare procedure. Beginning in the mid-90s, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representative and U.S. Senate introduced legislation to ban "partial birth" abortions. In late 2003, Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act (HR 760, S 3). This federal legislation was drafted after the Supreme Court ruled Nebraska's "partial birth" abortion law unconstitutional because | IN | IN IB | 695,014 |

Now, I was never quite as impressed as that, but I mean, a very capable guy. LIZ JACKSON: Tony Abbott spent three years struggling to be a priest, then quit and went public. He wrote in the Bulletin that his dream had died. He missed, he said, 'the glittering company of Oxford, the student hurly-burly'. The seminary 'lacked imagination and virility' and the 'lack of sensual intimacy had' in his case 'become a heavy burden'. He had reached the point of 'loathing' the place. FATHER BILL WRIGHT: 'I loathed it'. There can be a flamboyance to... an extravagance to Tony's way of putting things - the one the one liner - and sometimes going to the extreme version for impact, he'll do that. NOEL DEBIEN: Some people thought a seminarian should be quiet; that a seminarian should be obedient; that a seminarian should not make waves. That wasn't Tony.

The London Mayor frequently has a colourful turn of phrase - which can sometimes land him in a spot of bother and at others cause real offence. With the excitement of London 2012, he has been on fine comedy form so far.

from happy marriages, they pretty much married young, while the ones who come from divorced families don't want to rush into it." Keller sees marriage as something that will happen in a few years time, when he is ready to think about a family. In contemplating whether someone is marrying material, he is also contemplating whether they are mothering material. "The older ou get, the more important it is with kids," he says. "You start thinking what would your kids look like, whether they'd take after you or her, and what kind of a mother the woman would be." And as he gets older, Keller is thinking less about looks. But attractiveness still plays a role, as can be seen from the way he describes his current girlfriend. "Just for the record, she's a glamour, all right." MEN & MARRIAGE Young men plan to marry, but they want to take their time. Last year, a survey of twentysomethings by The Australian Temperament Project found more than 80 per cent expected to marry some day. However, women were more likely to see a wedding just around the corner, while men saw it as several years away. Power couples are on the rise, with high-powered men less likely to marry homemakers than before. In the 1980s, the higher the salary of a man, the fewer hours his wife was likely to work.

to air. When the medium under consideration is air, it is possible to express E in terms of the undisturbed air pressure, P, since it is this pressure that supplies the restoring force which returns the air molecules to their equilibrium positions. The speed of sound in air is: where d = air density & P = air pressure (a measure of the elasticity of the air). It is interesting to note that in air an increase in pressure causes a corresponding increase in density and so the ratio of P to d remains constant. Since P/d can be shown to be proportional to the temperature (in kelvin), the speed of sound in air is actually proportional to the square root of the kelvin temperature. The pitch of a sound (how high or low it is) depends on its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. For a sound or note of specific frequency, like that produced by a tuning fork, the pitch is the same as the frequency. However, for a complex sound such as a chord played on a piano, the pitch is not so easily defined. It can no longer be taken as identical to the frequency of the sound, since the sound contains several nearly equal amplitude waves of various frequencies. The loudness of a sound depends upon the amplitude of the wave that produces it. The greater the amplitude, the louder the note, because more energy is used to produce a larger amplitude. | IN | IN CM | 634,435 |

where she and the groom place garlands over one another in accordance with ancient customs, to demonstrate their free choice and acceptance of each other. Kanyadaan: The bride's parents apply 'tikka' on the couple and the bride's father performs the 'kanyadaan' (giving away the bride). This is done by tying the hands of the bride and groom together in a marital knot known as the 'hast melap'. The bride's right hand is placed in the groom's right hand and they reach out over the unlit fire below. With this gesture the father of the bride symbolises this promise; " I offer you this most precious gift of my daughter to take as your own, to cherish and to protect."

result is the failure of good governance and open, transparent government. In the June version of the accepted Community Plan there was this 'action' item: "investigate the feasibility and applicability of introducing a Development Contributions Plan". The 'measure' was stated to be -- " Report provided to council ". This has now completely disappeared from the September version . We ask: who made this decision? When was it made? Where is the 'report' to council? Next there is the subtle change in language. Another of the 'action' items from the June version states "Introduce a Local Law which creates the framework for a Classified Tree Register". The measure is: "Local Law considered by council " The September version has altered this to read: ' Local Law adopted by council" . Whilst not earth shattering in itself, the very fact that terms can be changed without formal resolution is a concern. Again, who decided and when was the decision reached?

The United States and Russia recently signed a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START). While President Obama has declared that the New START treaty is a key step to achieving a world without nuclear weapons, it could well accomplish the opposite. The treaty could set the stage for a new nuclear arms race while justifying further undermining the credibility of the US nuclear deterrent. Ratifying this treaty could put US vital national interests at risk. The New START is not acceptable. It is a step backwards -- cutting less weapons and providing less verification than would have been accomplished under the Moscow and Old START treaties. The treaty does nothing to advance US interests. The treaty places a real and significant impediment to developing optimum missile defenses. Senior Administration officials have stated repeatedly that New START includes no limits whatsoever on ballistic missile defenses. Yet, in truth, New START contains many provisions relating to missile defense (including legal prohibitions) and could set the stage for further limitations without the advice and consent of the Senate. Russia views nuclear weapons as the cornerstone of their defense strategy. It has no interest in ridding the world of nuclear weapons. It has every interest in solidifying its position as a dominant nuclear power. This treaty empowers Russia as a nuclear state. An emboldened nuclear Russia will be destabilizing potentially leading to renewed nuclear competition between China and Russia and a more aggressive Russia in Eastern Europe and elsewhere.

Technically, the IOC can set the rules for brodcasting and could have required NBC to air more live coverage over the air. Instead they defended the coverage , joining the majority who are more than content with NBC's 2012 coverage.

knights and large group of crawlers in the immediate area. Proceed further into the jungle when it is clear and follow the path to the left and up the ramp. Continue along the winding path here until you encounter a group of three crawlers and a knight. Deal with them before continuing. When you reach the group of marines under fire, continue down the slope and help them repel the crawlers, knights and watchers in the open area beyond their cover position. When it gets quite, hop the marine's defenses and clear out any remaining enemies before proceeding to the structure at the afar end of the area. As you approach a knight, a pair of watchers and another small group of crawlers will ambush you. During this encounter, a pair of Promethean laser emplacements may also be activated, so if they do, destroy them as well. Once everything is dead, head for the structure. Place Cortana into the socket on the pillar to the right of the door and then defend the area for a few moments whilst she does her thing. You will have to fight off a healthy number of crawlers and a few knights, any remaining marines will help you out and there is also a gun turret here to make things easier if you wish to use it.

Having said that you performed w ell and there were a lot of people who thought you won that fight ! Yeah a lot of people felt I won that fight and I felt I did too, but didn't get the decision. But the scoring was bias being on Frank Warren's annual show and being Bellew's first defence, I wasn't going to get the decision unless it was KO.

a delight. Hats off to Nessa! (Although everything is explained, I would warn readers that a basic knowledge of genetics would be an advantage.) Before I read this book my understanding of genetics was quite naive, I thought DNA made proteins, and if there are mutations in the DNA code then that leads to trouble, such as cancer. But only 2% of the human genome makes protein - what is the other 98% for? Also consider this: A caterpillar that becomes a butterfly has exactly the same DNA - so why do they look so different? The answer is 'epigenetics'. Whenever two genetically identical individuals are non-identical in some way we can measure, this is called epigenetics. This also includes an individual at different point in their life. For example why does horrendous abuse as a child often lead to problems later in life - is it psychological or is it embedded in the very genes of the person? In the following sentence, before I read this book, I mostly understood the word 'within'. The author never hides the gritty details from the reader unlike many patronising popular science books that shy away from the scientific detail in case the reader finds it too difficult. She takes you step by step through the main details of epigenetics and the technical language used. It is not difficult, but you do have to take it slowly to digest the information.

many parts of the world. Science has shown us that everything is energy. Things that we have always considered to be solid are merely bundles of energy in a format. Those things we cannot see or touch are also energy, like thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Every time we have a thought, that thought takes on an energetically existence. Every time we express an emotion, we have put that energy pattern in our universe. The Universe does not know yes or no, good or bad it just knows energy and keeps it out there and ultimately influencing our every day live. These energy patterns might be of our own doing, the environment you live in, past on from other people, or experiences from long ago.

Any way to get a line installed quicker? Hi I am in the process of moving offices and have just been informed by BT openreach that they can not get the line installed by my the move date. This is a total nightmare as we need to have broadband active on the line on the day we move. The order is through my ISP who have in turn placed an order through BT openreach. I was just wondering if anyone had any tricks to get install dates moved forward. They currently want to put the line in 3 days after we move which will mean broadband takes a further 3 days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. BT are busy dealing with backlogs caused by flooding (allegedly) and so long lead times are normal in some areas at the moment. Apparently an ISP can escalate the install/get it expedited if it's a business connection. So changing to a business package with a business line might be an option. Your other option is Virgin Media cable if you can get it. To be honest, 6 days without broadband is actually quiite good for a home move, others have waited weeks or months.

In my opinion, I think there are poor people for many many different reasons. Sure, you have the ones that are lazy and don't want to work, and they take advantage of the "system". Then you have the ones that work their tails off, get laid off, collect unemployment (because they need it) and apply for free healthcare (because they need it), and then people like you criticize them and group them in with the "freeloaders". And you have to admit, that SOME corporate companies get rich because they exploit the lower class (not the freeloaders) by paying them low wages, and sometimes not providing them with affordable healthcare.

The mind is a fascinating thing and when my father had Alzheimer's I was constantly wrong-footed. The version of Alzheimer's he had, which seems fairly typical, is not something I had seen conveyed particularly accurately before. It's something that can really be joyous and quite funny and can be incredibly heartbreaking.

thrived on blind faith in gods and families of gods. But even when blind faith is directed towards distinctly other-worldy objects, it has a tendency to imply that a particular practical way of life is best. And this, we know, finally led to practical contradictions that contributed to the withering away of once-great civilisations. Today, faith in gods is rarely as blind as it used to be, because modernity inserts doubts into the minds of even the most devout believers. But blind faith seems to have jumped from theistic objects to the sciences, and in particular mathematics, a subject that puts many people on the defensive and therefore in no position to challenge its single-minded devotees. That this is a problem for mathematical education hardly needs to be said. But basic mathematical teaching has been stuck in a rut since the practical maths advocated by W.H. Cockcroft in his 1982 report, Mathematics Counts , ran out of steam in schools. It did not engage the divide between maths and reality well enough, or sufficiently interestingly, to carry conviction. The resulting compromise between practical maths and Platonic maths-for-maths'-sake is unconvincing for both teachers and pupils alike. A new paradigm is urgently needed, at all levels - primary, secondary and tertiary - if only to train the financiers of the 2030s. We have seen blind faith in mathematics in action recently.

these debates over exercise will end because they have zero relevance to how a body via intention engages with it's environment as it moves through space. You have to work on humans like humans, not furniture. Ciao. Most of the evidence comes from over sixty years of practitioners using this method of systemic neuro organization to obtain out comes as well as many books and studies on the method. My observations are from my own clinical experience. Beyond that does the explanation of a dynamic systems theory not resonate in your world? Is all PT education based on isolation intervention? I am thinking this is the case because nobody has been curious about a dialogue around the approach other than where is the empirical evidence. You cant compare a dynamic systems approach with a myopic leaning approach because the they are two systems that are looking for completely different indicators that point to injury resolution. The two approaches also have totally different indicators that would be considered moving towards resolution. The interesting conversation would be a around those indicators and how an entire system organizes to produce a chronic condition or how it organizes around an injury from an out side source. This was a similarly interesting conversation a few years ago when physical therapists realized "Tummy Time" was a bad idea to apply on infants and turned towards working with enhancing developmental movement to resolve slow movement towards rolling, crawling and weight bearing and developmental goals.

follow lifehacker How to Get a Credit Card with No Credit Ramit Sethi is a New York Times best-selling author and creator of one of our favorite personal finance sites, I Will Teach You to Be Rich . In his weekly video Q&A, Ramit answers common questions about personal finance, careers, and more. This week: How can you get a credit card when you don't have a credit history? Edgar from El Paso, TX, asks: "I'm just starting to build my credit history. I have a secured CC with a $500 limit and I've had it for 2 years and I've always paid it on time. About a year ago I called to see if they could give me an unsecured card instead. The answer was NO (for some BS-sounding reasons). How can I negotiate with them so they'll give me an unsecured credit card?" I answer Edgar's specific question in the video above, but I wanted to highlight two things to know about using your credit cards. More importantly, you're not building credit, which will cost you when you make major life purchases.

Building your credit is one of the few Big Wins you can have in your financial life. If the credit-card company rejects you because you don't have credit, go for a secured credit card.

long strings of genes are tightly coiled into packages of DNA called chromosomes . A chromosome is a bit like a book -- a small package containing lots of information. Cells contain 46 chromosomes ; the two chromosomes containing the HD gene are both called number 4. When someone has a child, only one of the chromosomes is passed on. Exclusion testing is done using DNA fingerprinting . It looks at chromosome 4 in all the DNA samples, without looking directly at the HD gene, and finds out whether or not the baby has inherited a copy of chromosome 4 from the grandparent with HD. Based on that, the baby is classified as high risk or low risk of developing HD, and a decision about whether to continue the pregnancy is made. Let's explain it using an example. Alison and Bob want to have kids together but Alison's father, Henry, has Huntington's disease, and Alison doesn't want to have a genetic test for HD. Alison has two copies of chromosome 4: one from her mother Henrietta, and one from her father Henry. The chromosome 4 she inherited from Henry was either the one with the HD mutation, or the normal one -- the chance of each is 50%. The fetus , too, inherits two copies of chromosome 4: one each from Alison and Bob. Neither of Bob's parents had HD, so we don't need to know any more about the chromosome the fetus has inherited from Bob. But the chromosome | IN | IN IB | 299,513 |

We'll do our best when crucified To finish off in style, sir! But we bequeath a parting tip For sound advice of such men, Who come across in transport ship To polish off the Dutchmen!

apart of those structures and traditions before the whole sad cycle begins again. Well, unless during or after the breaking up, democracy is demanded and any potential for power to concentrate thwarted and denied. Having been to the odd protest over the last few years, which sadly seem to get less and less public support (due to total ignorance and stigmatisation by MSM, police surveillance making participants feel like "crims"), I have seen the odd Labour supporters be there. Sadly their numbers have been very small, albeit appreciated. There usually was good support from Mana, in some cases the Greens and even the Maori Party. So in order to have a true "game changer" one would expect any persons associating themselves with Labour to also take more action and be on the street and in certain venues. The unions seem to largely only look after their particular clientele and forget others. We have draconical welfare reforms to be heard by the Social Security Committee shortly, so where is bloody Labour on that? Ardern is rather quiet, so are others. It almost seems they do not mind the reforms bashing beneficiaries even more, to make life unliveable and encourage suicide, rather than take a bloody stand and defend human rights. That is what makes me bloody furious about "Labour". So much talk and little walk, so much catering for some bizarre "centre population", they themselves cannot clearly describe. I am sorry, I have NO faith in Labour any more. Basta! A | IP | IP | 1,735,646 |
It means when you power on the receiver you don't hear distortion. One simple way to test this is to turn up the volume with no source connected to see if you hear a hum. If your current receiver sounds fine, don't bother looking for a new one. Basically, the main quality to look for in a receiver is how quiet it is and how little it alters the sound of your music. The most important thing to take away from this is that even cheap gear can sound great, but if you're looking to upgrade, you can do it without totally breaking the bank. Sound quality is often dependent on your ability to listen more than anything else, so when you get your stereo to a happy place, relax, turn of the lights, and enjoy it. It might not be that $US20,000 stereo you covet, but it can sound nearly as good. Have some clever tricks to get more out of your stereo or upgrade it on the cheap? Sound off in the comments. A good amp can never make crap speakers sound good. Crap speakers introduce massive amounts of linear distortion that no amplifier can compensate for. My advice: - Don't trust the hype. Price doen't equate to quality. - Speakers, and the way they are integrated to the room are the most important component, by an order of magnitude. 80% of the budget should go here.

"there is always someone stupider and richer around the corner" No premiership clubs are 'worth their valuation' - they barely make any money and profit is totally reliant on asset values rising. There is a lot of choice out there for a would-be owner - so what's that going to do for the asset prices? Comment number 79. The endless debate concerning the dealings of Messrs Hicks and Gillett raise a far greater question concerning the business model that the British private sector is meant to develop under the "coalition" government. The "hidden deals" of vested interests for monetary gain at the expense of the interests of the service users (i.e. Liverpool supporters; season ticket holders and club members). Two American business men undertook the common practice for such business models - borrowing heavily in the hope of making large profits in a short period. When the business started to fail, they enginerred a complex debt structuring that some how payed them monies by increasing the "company's debts". The banks involved, as in all such excessively large debts, could not afford to lose the investment so allowed the two Americans to restructure - until it became obvious that they were unable to meet their commitments. At this point the legal system kicks in, the banks owed money force the two American debtors into selling their asset in order to pay-off their debt, insisting on the restructing of the Board of Directors to facilitate an appropriate sale.

When Cathie had her fall a few weeks ago and I was tidying her room, I forget who it was at Kenwyn warned me about throwing anything away. I have had a life-time of experience negotiating what little I can get away with in that regard. By 1937 Cathie Matthews was going to Hamilton High School by train and had met up with the two Jackson sisters Cathie and Betty - beginning an extraordinary open friendship which was a huge support to each other, and to many many others. It was one of the most stable and important set of relationships in my life. Shortly before her 17th birthday, Cathie received a letter from the Auckland Education Board asking her to consider Training College instead of going back to school for a final year. The family overruled her tearful objections and so joining 300 other first year ATC students her course was set for life. The neat legible handwriting, still impressive at 86, got her the role of writing out monthly allowance cheques.

the time. And they produce the lowest-cost energy. About 7:00 o'clock, our load will start to pick up as people get up and go to work, and buildings start opening up and air conditioners go on. What we'll do is turn on different generating plants as demand increases. NARRATOR: All over America, the scene is the same. As the day gets going, the demand for energy ramps up. And since most of this energy comes from fossil fuel, it all adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Take the simple act of making toast. Over the course of a year, a toaster on average consumes about 39 kilowatt hours of electricity. And each one of those kilowatt hours sends about half a pound of carbon into the air. JONATHAN G. KOOMEY, Lawrence Berkeley Nat'l Laboratory: When you multiply that out, what you get is about 8 kilograms of carbon per year for toasting bread every day. And if we convert it to pounds by multiplying by 2.2, we get about 20, 20 pounds of carbon per year associated with using a toaster. NARRATOR: Or consider central air conditioning. JONATHAN G. KOOMEY: A typical home in the South would use about 4,000 kilowatt hours for air conditioning. If we convert that to carbon emitted, we get about 800 kilograms of carbon emitted per year for a central air conditioner. And that's about 1,800 pounds, which is more than the weight of a small car like a Toyota Corolla. NARRATOR: Since each pound | SP | SP IT TA | 233,775 |
sometimes it's just fun to shoot people to bits without the moral quandry - you can't kill what's already (un)dead, and they are after your brains, so it's pure self-defense. I think the current Romero-Zombie story model has appeal for a number of reasons. First, they are politically and socially safe villians that have a simple motivation, and can be "killed" in awful ways without angering an ethnic/religious group. The second thing making the Romero Zombie popular is the timing. We're just eleven years out from 9/11, and pop-culture is hyping the Mayan calander nonsense so the end of the world is rolling around in the collective mind-set. Finally I think they reflect a recognition of the dying off of Victorian social models which framed the 20th century. So much of western culture is sustained by people simpley going through the motions without thinking about why they're doing things. Like the walking dead converging on the shopping mall people are doing things out of reflex instead of rational thought...like zombies. Like the alien invasion movies of the 1950s, zombies reflect a subconcious fear that our world has already ended, but we don't know it yet. Zombies are great. The concept of losing control and being turned into a monster is something that I think a lot of people fear, but most of all they fear being forced to survive alone. It is scary to think about your loved ones being transformed into monsters. My favorite thing about zombie books is | OP | OP OB | 3,187,792 |

for such talents, will naturally give a superior value to their produce. In this state of things, the whole produce of labour belongs to the labourer. As soon as stock has accumulated in the hands of particular persons, some of them will naturally employ it in setting to work industrious people, whom they will supply with materials and subsistence, in order to make a profit by the sale of their work. The value which the workmen add to the materials, therefore, resolves itself into two parts, of which one pays their wages, the other the profits of their employer. The profits of stock, it may perhaps be thought, are only a different name for the wages of a particular sort of labour, the labour of inspection and direction. However, they bear no proportion to the quantity, the hardship, or the ingenuity of this supposed labour. They are regulated altogether by the value of the stock employed, and are greater or smaller in proportion to the extent of this stock. Let us imagine two manufactories, each with twenty workmen each paid fifteen pounds per year. If the one establishment uses each year materials costing seven hundred pounds and the other uses finer materials costing seven thousand, then, at the rate of ten per cent, the one will expect a yearly profit of about one hundred pounds; while the other will expect about seven hundred and thirty pounds. But their labour of inspection and direction may be either altogether the same. As | IN | IN | 434,928 |

Imagine a windswept northern plain, a two-lane highway, and the ramshackle ranch buildings you see from the road. If you're curious about the lives and dreams of the people in such places, if you're curious about who moves on and who stays behind to run the ranch, and if you're curious about a woman forging her way in an academic world resistant to women, Mary Clearman Blew's This is Not the Ivy League is a must-read memoir.

one of those companies that took the long view to create sustainable diversity at every level of their business: from their customers to their menus, from their franchisees to their employees, from entry level ranks to management to executive leadership. The people behind the Golden Arches have been responsible for creating hundreds of thousands of entry level jobs for people for every walk of life just getting started in their work lives and thousands of business ownerships including for urban entrepreneurs with very few other lucrative business start-up possibilities within their reach. Not only can the people at McDonald's speak authoritatively about their diversity strategies and their breakthrough results, but author Pat Harris, McDonald's gracious and dedicated diversity leader for much of McDonald's diversity journey, can speak credibly and personally about the twists and turns, setbacks and breakthroughs the journey took along the way. I have seen McDonald's diversity story from the distance and up close. The words and deeds of affinity group leaders, managers, and executives in this inspiring corporate diversity story have been consistent whether in public forums, one-on-one conversations, or in the pages of this book. These folks are passionate about diversity not only because it's the right thing to do but because it has also been good for business.

It Was the Best of Games, It Was the Worst of Games . . . This week the New Orleans Hornets showed themselves and fans the road ahead.

Although the pace for each game was nearly the same (86.9 Wednesday vs. 86.0 Friday), the play was nearly antipodal. Wednesday's loss was the lowest offensive output in the franchise's history. Friday's win , despite the slightly lower pace, was the largest regulation-length-game point total since Chris Paul left , with the closest being a 105 point game against the Kings (a win) with a pace of 92.6. Certainly there were positive things in the loss to the 76'ers, such as the solid defense (DRtg 88.6), but the game was one of the worst ever played by the Hornets. In | NARRATIVE | NA SR | 152,911 |

has been great for us but to let go and turn the page. @Gunfest 1:25, I'm not ready to let go of Wenger yet, but of all the many comments against Wenger staying, yours is one of the very few that actually suggest (not unreasonable) alternatives, and provides an intelligent perspective. aving watched such a timid performance, I wondered what exactly happened to the kids that used to play with such great verve and without fear in the carling cup 2 or 3 years ago. The whole team now seem scared to play. Walcott may have improved some aspects of his game, but has lost his instinctive flair. Remember how good Arshavin was when he first came, buzzing with energy, but watch him now. Ramsey looked good we he first played, but looks lost now. Will Ox, Frimpong, Santos, Wilshere et al end up scared to play as well? Are they over-coached and over-constrained? Wenger's "stlye" of football or even his lack of ambition is not a the core of my worries. To me he seems almost pathalogically stubborn.
