for several years, those complaints continued until everybody was forced to use it. Now it is the most widespread O/S out there. It will happen with Vista as well. Get used to it. You will have to start using it at work and school. If you learn about it and educate yourselves now, you won't be so terribley disappointed later. I have question about this UAC. Even when I turned it off, I was still having a problem deleting a program from my c drive. I don't understand why it's asking me for permission? I am the only user on the account and the administrator? I never even saw where you could enter your password as administrator to give it permission to delete the file. What am I missing or what are steps to enter the password to give it permission to delete? UAC does not make Vista more secure, and the fact that it even exists proves that Windows is still not secure, and instead of fixing the root causes of this, MS decided to warn users about the dangers of what they are doing every single time they do something. UAC is an educational control, and an annoying one at that. As pointed out in a previous comment, the average joe user who this is aimed at does not even bother to read the warnings. Apple was smart and chose BSD for it's kernel and then built the flashy UI on top of that. MS should follow suit. | HI | HI HT | 148,826 |
Note: The situation in the following post has been resolved for now. Dropbox has taken everyone's outrage seriously, and has fixed the problem. More information here . I am leaving this post and the follow-ups up because it contains a good deal of information on how to protect yourself and your intellectual property when working in the cloud. As of Sat, July 2 2011, Dropbox has joined Facebook and who-knows-how-many-other ass-backward companies in declaring eminent domain on their user's data. That's right, boys and girls, if you're using Dropbox for storing your manuscripts, photographs, creative works, etc., you should know that their revised TOS says that: you grant us (and those we work with to provide the Services) worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works (such as translations or format conversions) of, perform, or publicly display that stuff to the extent we think it necessary for the Service. In other words, they own your stuff. Not that this would stand up for a minute in court -- but do you want to be a test case? That right there is bad enough -- almost, but not quite as bad as Facebook claiming copyright to anything you post, link to, etc. (and using everything you post in their advertising), but Dropbox does one better.

wrapped around the body of gathered on either shoulder at the back to prevent impeding the movements of the arms as much as possible. Small plaid This is a small plaid which is made from approximately 2 yards of 54 inch material (1.8 metres x 137 cms) which is fringed all round and has a corner piece to allow it to be fastened as the left shoulder. This is a modified form of plaid which was designed to take the place of the long plaid when used for evening wear. You can imagine that a person would have great difficulty in enjoying an evening's dancing at a Highland Ball with a long plaid wrapped around the body. Another obvious example of its use is once again referring to Pipe Bands, where you find the drummers having the belted plaid as against the pipers wearing the long plaid. The drummers require plenty of freedom for their arms and a long plaid would impede that. Plaids are quite independent of the kilt these days. | HI | HI HT | 1,477,642 |
there a dark horse in your opinion? NE: It's tough to say this early in the season. It is hard to go past the usual suspects for the Premiership...Leicester, Northampton and Saracens but I am sure the other clubs will have something to say about that. In the Heineken Cup there are some tough groups but I would expect the usual faces to be there...Leinster, Toulouse, Munster etc however it will be great to see how Exeter go in their first taste of Heineken Cup. DT: Yes Exeter certainly were a joy to watch last year; both for their quality and their flawless attitude on the pitch. As an Exeter man myself I can say that the region was proud of their efforts. Your coach, Conor O'Shea, declared that last season's victorious campaign was 'forged by spirit' too, during the aftermath of the Aviva Premiership final and was very vocal in his praise, both for the players and previous Director of Rugby, Dean Richards. What qualities do you think Conor himself brings to the table though? NE: Conor has a big influence on us as a group. Probably the most influence comes from our values and how we run as a club, not only on the field but more importantly off the field. A lot of responsibility is given to the players to make decisions on and off the field.

18:8), Erastus, and Gaius (Caius) were, however, men of rank (Ro 16:23). A variety of classes is also implied in 1Co 11:22. The risk of contamination by contact with the surrounding corruptions, and the temptation to a craving for Greek philosophy and rhetoric (which Apollos' eloquent style rather tended to foster, Ac 18:24, &c.) in contrast to Paul's simple preaching of Christ crucified (1Co 2:1, &c.), as well as the opposition of certain teachers to him, naturally caused him anxiety. Emissaries from the Judaizers of Palestine boasted of "letters of commendation" from Jerusalem, the metropolis of the faith. They did not, it is true, insist on circumcision in refined Corinth, where the attempt would have been hopeless, as they did among the simpler people of Galatia; but they attacked the apostolic authority of Paul (1Co 9:1, 2; 2Co 10:1, 7, 8), some of them declaring themselves followers of Cephas, the chief apostle, others boasting that they belonged to Christ Himself (1Co 1:12; 2Co 10:7), while they haughtily repudiated all subordinate teaching. Those persons gave out themselves for apostles (2Co 11:5, 13). The ground taken by them was that Paul was not one of the Twelve, and not an eye-witness of the Gospel facts, and durst not prove his apostleship by claiming sustenance from the Christian Church. Another section avowed themselves followers of Paul himself, but did so in a party spirit, exalting the minister rather than Christ.

peers without a speed limit. When you take out the BS and friction, everyone gets so much more done that productivity, innovation and rapid agile development just happen. This is the key message, removing obstacles to a high performance culture is how innovation happens throughout an organization. Doing less to get more. We don't pay bonuses. We don't have grades other than senior engineer, manager, director, VP. We don't count the hours or the vacation days, we say "take some". Once a year we revise everyones salary to their peers and current market rate - based on what we are paying now to hire the best people we can find. We also have what sounds like a crazy stock option plan that grants options every month, vests the same day, and they last 10 years even if you leave Netflix. The net of this is less work for managers, they can concentrate on hiring top people, and almost everyone that leaves takes a pay cut. The test we make is "would you fight to keep your engineers if they tried to leave". If not, let them go now and get someone better. We don't make it hard to let people go.

HOW TO: Work With People You Don't Like by Sharlyn Lauby on September 27, 2012 I've mentioned in an earlier post that my favorite interview question is "Tell me about a time when you had to work with someone you didn't personally like." You can check the post out here -- be sure to read the comments. Readers have shared lots of great interview questions. Anyone preparing for an interview has a wealth of information if they read the comments. Today I wanted to share some resources about how to handle the problem of working with people you don't like . Okay, let's face it...it happens. We can't be expected to get along with everyone. But we do have to work with them. And how we manage those relationships can be vital to our careers. The nice folks at McGraw Hill sent me the book " Dealing with People You Can't Stand ". I could see this book being a reference guide for everyone at some point in their career. One section I really liked was dedicated to identifying the different types of people who might get under our skin. For example, the "Yes" person who agrees to everything and delivers nothing. Or the "Maybe" person who delays making decisions until it's too late. Being able to identify what frustrates us about a person is the first step. Then we can figure out how to work with them.

That puts the onus on the chancellor to show he is a leader in waiting reaching out beyond the hall to a questioning public. Patrick Diamond, a former Downing Street adviser and now LSE researcher, said Mr Brown had to show there was more to him than the economy. "He has to set out for Labour a wide ranging project for the future that ranges beyond the economy, to security, terrorism, foreign policy and quality of life," Mr Diamond said. "He has to demonstrate to the party how it can meet the challenges of globalisation and what it will mean for Britain in 20 years time." Richard Brooks, the deputy director of the IPPR thinktank, pointed out the complexity of the chancellor's task. "He has got a very difficult speech to make between, on the one hand, trying to differentiate himself from Tony and, on the other, being seen to go to the left ... "Equally, if he gives a very strong speech, it will be seen as a challenge to the leadership, and if he does not, he will be marked down and questions will be asked about whether he is the right man."

the mayor found out between midnight and about 2:30 a.m. is there is so much that needs to be done to make the TTC better for riders. "Yo Ford, where's the 83?" said a guy. "I have been waiting 45 minutes." The guy missed his bus. The mayor missed his train home too. "I am glad this has happened because I can see what's really going on," Ford said. We just missed the last train at Kennedy Station at about 1:40 a.m., so with some direction from staffers, we took the 34 bus along Eglinton all the way to Yonge St., the same route in question. "I can't believe they want to put streetcars on this," Ford said."Look at all the house that have to be expropriated. Underground is the only way to go." The mayor was also upset about how freezing cold it was inside the Kennedy Station and how noisy and shaky the old Scarborough RT has become. "It's ridiculous," he said. What he also thinks is ridiculous is how Stintz turned on him, not only not supporting his plan but also leading a palace coup against him. "We had a meeting with her just the day before and she was on board with the idea of deferring it for 30 days. She agreed to it," he said.

of Cornwall , John Carew writes: [M]ost of the inhabitants can speak no word of Cornish, but very few are ignorant of the English; and yet some so affect their own, as to a stranger they will not speak it; for if meeting them by chance, you inquire the way, or any such matter, your answer shall be, 'Meea navidna caw zasawzneck,' 'I [will] speak no Saxonage.'" [ 22 ] The Late Cornish period from 1578 to about 1800 has fewer sources of information on the language but they are more varied in nature. Written sources from this period are largely spelled following English spelling conventions since the majority of writers of the time had had no exposure to Middle Cornish texts or the Cornish orthography within them. In 1776, William Bodinar , who had learnt Cornish from fishermen, wrote a letter in Cornish which was probably the last prose in the language. However, the last verse was the Cranken Rhyme , written in the late 19th century by John Davey of Boswednack . In the 18th and 19th centuries, there was intense academic and antiquarian interest in the language, particularly in the Middle Cornish literature, and also in attempting to find the last native speaker of the Cornish language . Despite the announcements of the death of the language, this academic interest, along with the beginning of the Celtic Revival in the late 19th Century, provided the groundwork for a Cornish language revival movement.

Either we cut it out, or it will kill us. The Grokster decision is expected any day now (well, not any day, Mondays are preferred), but the post-decision spin is already beginning. The MPAA 's CEO, Dan Glickman , is already making with the "opponents of copyright maximalism are communists" schtick ( Glickman Presses 'Protections' ): "Shall we keep in place legal protections that promote the free market, or shall we tear down those protections in such a way as to allow the black market to prosper and dominate?" he asked. "If we have learned anything over the past 50 years with the collapse of communism and the triumph of free-market capitalism, we have learned that abusing private property rights actually leads to less creativity, less technological development and less freedom." It is particularly hilarious how the former Democrat attempts to sway the Republican-controlled Congress: With that in mind, Glickman sought to associate the studios' cause with former president Ronald Reagan, a one-time Hollywood figure who remains highly popular among the Republican leadership that controls the levers of power on Capitol Hill.

of justification for the oligopoly of the present nuclear powers, so hypocritical it does not dare even speak its name -- Israel, with 200 nuclear bombs, is never mentioned. There will never be nuclear disarmament until it is broken. To face up to the enemies ranged against Iran requires a coherence and discipline of which there is little sign at present. With their own operational habits and doctrines to the fore, the Iranian clerics have played a profoundly divisive role in keeping the Shi'a parties and Sistani, Tehran's bearded queen on the Iraqi chessboard, pitted against the resistance forces. A de-confessionalized alliance of forces from Tehran to Damascus, via Basra and Baghdad, would both damp down communalist conflict and strengthen Iran's position. Little in the recent Iranian record suggests the country's ruling institutions are capable of dealing with imperial arrogance when they confront it, other than with a hydra-headed incompetence. However, circumstances may now be forcing them into decisions they have so far sought to evade. It will not be easy to dress up surrender to Western threats as dignified national wisdom. It will not be difficult to turn Shi'a crowds and militia against the Western occupation across the border. Tehran controls more significant hostages today than a mere embassy.

at law in America. Mr. Hasson brings a wealth of real-life cases that read stranger than fiction, with such amusing examples as the parking-barrier worshippers, and, beyond the levity, brilliant analysis of one aspect of the culture wars. The book poses provocative questions and points to some principles that may avert our impalement on the horns of dilemma, largely by providing a rare coherent take on the so-called religion clauses of the First Amendment of the Constitution. If any aspect of religious liberty is important to you, you will absolutely want to read Seamus Hasson's engaging book, and you will want to give away copies to your friends -- and your ideological adversaries (why not? you'll win points for generosity and plant seeds of reason). Never has so painless a remedy been offered over-the-counter to ease the pandemic of (let's put it kindly) limited grasp of the history and issues at the heart of church-state relations and religious freedom in America. Hasson provides a surprisingly complete and highly-readable narrative that leaves you feeling as if you (finally!) understand where this controversy has been, where it's now stalled, and on what basis it actually can be eased. The book's ambitious subtitle, "Ending the Culture War Over Religion in America," is just that -- ambitious.

tomorrow goes off without incident and our lads behave themselves. Kids died at Hillsborough and now being a Dad I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even those scouse bastards. Anyway call me mental but I would actually play Anderson tomorrow alongside Cleverley and the superb Carrick. If he turns up he adds bite and drive to the middle of the park. No offence to the legend but I do NOT want to see Giggsy on that team sheet. It would be a baptism of fire for Kagawa at this early stage so would play the aforementioned 3 behind RVP. Keeper wise it's De Gea all day long for me. He was outstanding at Anfield last season. I like Anders but he has tended to play in the easier games where we haven't had much defending to do. His kicking is awful. Evans should start for me with Vida . He was decent on Wednesday. I am a big fan of Jonny. LOL KE. totally agree with your posts. I also don't want to see Giggs anywhere NEAR the pitch at the beginning of the game. have to inject some youth and speed into our midfield tomorrow. Scholes I think is also tired. So Anderson and Cleverley is not a bad line up at all.

sprints, spread throughout a week can improve aerobic fitness and blood-sugar control. Evidence is building that the HIIT approach to exercise can substantially improve aerobic fitness while providing a range of positive health outcomes, including better blood-sugar control, blood pressure and blood vessel function in a range of conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and heart disease. These studies have challenged current thinking regarding how much exercise is needed to produce substantial health benefits. This has important implications for those who decide a 20-minute lunch break is insufficient for worthwhile exercise, or for those looking to make the most of their precious gym time. Mass participation Meanwhile, exercise physiologists and healthcare providers are keenly awaiting much-needed, large scale randomised control trials on HIIT to be funded and carried out. Those studies will give us the evidence to challenge current exercise recommendations and allow the incorporation of HIIT into the standard recommendations needed to treat and prevent chronic metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in the future. While exercise preferences no doubt vary among individuals, and HIIT may not appeal to everyone, HIIT offers a solution for those with little time to be active.

this over-hyped bunch of average musicians. But just because one publication hails them as the next Rolling Stones or Beatles without actually seeing if they can walk the walk, it doesn't somehow make them the "greatest rock and roll story of our generation". And what exactly IS a generation? In laymans' terms, 25 years or so. Lots of music in 25 years. And lots of very good music; the majority of which nothing the Libertines ever produced could hold a candle to. Judging by your criteria for what made the Libertines the greatest rock and roll story of our generation, I suggest you look to LA ca.1985 to see real magic happening. The original Guns N' Roses were what I would call a great rock and roll story. They had it all - the attitude, the antics, the look, but most importantly, the music to back it up. They actually transformed the lagging hair-metal/hard rock scene of the day, and brought it back to the realms of credibility, whilst retaining the 'fuck-you' attitude of rock music, and they did it with style. If drug abuse and getting in trouble is your thing, then they had that too. The difference here, was that they dealt with it, and still managed to get into the same room and create something musically special, even against the odds of one man's ego.

Getting out of debt and staying out of debt is not easy. Chances are, you're reading this article because you've already amassed a fair amount of debt and are thinking it will be impossible to ever get out from under it all. Learn how to stop incurring new debt and change your life forever. Stop increasing your debt . If you have any credit cards that are maxed out, cut them in half. If you have more than one remaining credit card, cut them up. When you finish, you should have no more than one credit card. Also cut up any "convenience" cards, such as gas cards, department store cards, etc. You will use your one credit card only to buy "emergency things", and things that you know you will be able to pay off in a short amount of time until you can get your spending fully under control. 2 Record your spending . The idea of writing down what you spend is a concept most people find annoying at best and useless at worst. However, this is actually your key to getting out of debt. You're in debt because you spent money you didn't have. If you're like many people, your debt didn't come from one single huge purchase; it was trickles of spending amassed over time. Avoiding more debt starts with knowing what you are spending your money on. Each day for one month (at least), write down every penny you spend, no matter how small. 3 | HI | HI HT | 151,604 |

ID proponent? An important issue here, and (as always) I appreciate Dr Torley's contribution to it, my general agreement with Bill Carroll notwithstanding. If I could find time to engage everyone in this (Coyne, Carroll, and Torley), I would; but, the reality is that many such conversations will happen only in a better place, at a happier time (if God is more generous to Mr Coyne than Mr Coyne is to God). I will respond to just one aspect of Dr Torley's commentary -- namely, his quotation from Cardinal Bellarmine, which is not exactly quoted out of context (Bellarmine's position is accurately stated in the passage quoted), but the context is not given -- and it's quite important, if we want to see fully what he was saying. I've written about the context at length in an article that is available only in print, but of course that is no barrier to anyone who wants to dig into this more deeply: Edward B. Davis and Elizabeth Chmielewski, "Galileo and the Garden of Eden: Historical Reflections on Creationist Hermeneutics." In Nature and Scripture in the Abrahamic Religions: 1700 Present, ed.

( http://www.brill.nl/nature-and.....00-pr\\... ) To cut to the chase (leaving out the subtleties, which are quite important as Dr Torley and I both realize), Bellarmine was saying, in context, that biblical teaching about astronomy (specifically, about the Earth being | OP | OP RS | 779,105 |
were perfect examples of not making the best use of cleaning time. It's Not The Amount Of Cleaning As I described above, the amount of cleaning was not the problem. The staff was working hard. But because they were not using efficient methods and tools, the results did not reflect the effort. This only results in spending additional time to catch up later. I really feel there is a break down when it comes to understanding what it really means to clean. Let's face it, there is a lot of money spent everyday, around the world, on cleaning. Simply throwing money at a problem by adding to the amount of cleaning activity, does not solve the problem. No One Wants To Do A Bad Job I have always said, no one wants to do a bad job. The issue is whether they are equipped with the knowledge and means of doing a good job. Too often, staff members are hired to "clean" but unless there is an obvious problem or visible issue, simply going through the motions is viewed as good enough. Cleaning education is needed from the top down to before there can be any improvement in the results. I am only pointing out the Mall Of America because of my recent visit. They are by no means alone and from what I saw, are probably better than most. It is just a shame that the bar to be set so low when it comes to cleaning expectations. | OP | OP OB | 3,212,452 |

Of these about 90,000 are US troops. US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said in February that Washington wanted to carry on winding down combat operations in Afghanistan during 2013, more than a year before the deadline for complete withdrawal. The lion's share of the troops come from the US. The remainder are from some 50 other countries including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, Poland and Turkey. In April 2012 Australia announced that it would be withdrawing most of its force of about 1,550 troops - based mainly in the Uruzgan region - earlier than originally planned - before Australian elections are held in 2013. Leaders of nations contributing forces in Afghanistan have been talking about withdrawal for some time. Britain, the second largest contributor to Nato's Afghanistan operation, has about 9,500 troops in Afghanistan. It says that it wants them to leave by the end of 2014, but that hundreds of its soldiers may stay on after it pulls out to support and train Afghan forces. France announced in February 2012 that it wanted to bring home 1,000 of its soldiers before the end of the year, leaving only a few hundred after 2013. France currently has about 3,600 soldiers in Afghanistan. Germany, which has about 4,500 troops in the country, say that it wants them all of them out at the earliest opportunity.

He recently sat down with our editor-in-chief, Adi Ignatius. First, we asked him to tell us about his vision for the company after becoming CEO. MUHTAR KENT: One of the first things that I said to myself when I became CEO was we need a vision, a shared picture of success for 10 years down the road. And we called it, Vision 2020, a road map for winning together with our bottling partners, which called essentially for us to double the business in 10 years, i.e., do in 10 years what we've done in 125 years. Not something for the fainthearted but something clearly doable to become the best place to work to ensure that we created a shared wealth with all our stakeholders. And it required us to do things very differently to grow our core business and for us to continue to crack the code of growth. And we are in the seventh quarter now of that vision, so almost two years will be completed. And we got eight years to go. And we're on track. We're on track because our brands have got much stronger. The brand metrics over the last three years, we have not wasted this crisis.

emergent consequence of innumerable interactions, even the brightest of us are still looking for that irreducible measure, of which all others are flawed copies. As I read some of the above postings I find I must say that there is a disconnect between what is really groundbreaking and what is crackpottery. I recently rented the Ben Stein "Expelled" DVD, which is a panegyric expose on Intelligent Desgin (ID). Two things struck me. The first is that ID is based on the notion of irreducible complexity, which is a statement on the falsifiability of evolution, which itself can't be the basis of a theory. The other is that ID really tells you nothing, for it is not a system of thinking which offers a procedural direction for research. Evolution on the other hand is what Dennett compared to an ultimate acid which could eat through anything. Evolution is a scientific paradigm which continues to provide avenues of scientific inquiry, and indeed exponentially ever more of them. A really radical new idea about the nature of the universe will similarly open the doors for a huge variety of questions and research. The real power of a theory is whether it can provide research questions and work, not whether it in a master stroke which answers all problems. Of course a great new theory does in a sense provide a new paradims or thought system, but it does so in a way which offers up a rich menu of questions and problems. It | ID | ID DF | 444,213 |
set to snapped; and if not (or if unsnapped), the ShowSaveFilePicker() method is executed. The ShowOpenFilePicker() subroutine has a keyword "Async" which you may be unfamiliar with. Because a dialogue box is displayed, it needs to be executed and run asynchronously so that it doesn't cause your application to hold up until the operation completes - in this case, the dialogue being displayed and a user choosing a file to open. The "Await" keyword is used to tel Windows Runtime to "halt" execution of the merthod itself until, in this case, the user chooses a file. Everything else in the subroutine I'd assume is generally self-explanatory; allthough do bear in mind that the FileIO operation is also an asynchronous operation. At the bottom of the If statement within the subroutine you will notice the ActiveFile class property is being assigned the value of the FilePicked variable, which will contain a StorageFile object - and if the user does indeed select a file to open, that object will be a StorageFile object. It turns out when you open or save a file, the method in the FileIO class (i.e. ReadTextAsync() and WriteTextAsync()) requires its argument to be a StorageFile object. The ShowSaveFileDialog() does subroutine does a very similar job to the preceding subroutine.

Most of the details affirming al-Qaida links were edited or excluded from the unclassified talking points used by Rice in appearances on news programs the weekend after the attack , officials confirmed Friday. Multiple agencies were involved in excising information, doing so because it revealed sources and methods, dealt with classified intercepts or involved information that was not yet fully confirmed, the officials said. ...The president and other officials were also told during the early briefings about other attempted acts of violence that had occurred in Benghazi and around the consulate before the deadly attack. They were also told that there was at least some intelligence indicating some efforts to surveil U.S. assets in Benghazi had occurred in the days and weeks before.

Adhere the piece of paper to one of the sleighs. I find it is best to adhere the center piece near the bottom of the sleigh, then adhere the sides.

If you can come up with some time line of deposits where your HELOC interest rate would in fact by effectively 2%, I would be interested to see what it is. If you can, please make up an excel spreadsheet with a starting balance of 50k, the proposed payment schedule, and the effective interest rate and post it online somewhere. This would be extremely valuable information. I am not aware of any payment scheme which will shave 2.5% off a 4.5% rate.

home increases in value over time. But larger expenses such as cars and holidays that would have been paid by credit card are more affordable on the lower rate of your home loan. 11. Switch to a lender with a lower rate It may sound like a simple idea but switching out of your current loan and taking out a loan at a lower rate can mean the difference of years and thousands of dollars. If you have a loan that is tricked up with all the features, or even if you have a standard variable loan, you might find that you could get a no frills rate that is as much as a percentage point cheaper than your current loan. However, before you jump the gun, check out what it will cost you to switch loans. For example, there may be exit fees payable on your old loan and establishment fees and stamp duty on your new loan.

had to be formulated with a postulation which can be shown to be equivalent to the method of path integral (see mathematical detail ). It was postulated that the momentum p and position q are no longer mere numbers but are operators satisfying the commutative relation: (qp - pq) = i . This is called the canonical quantization. The fact that the particle is endowed with wave property is referred to as first quantization. Actually only p is treated as an operator - a differential operator acting on the wave function (q), q remains to be a c-number. The commutative relation can be viewed as a mathematical statement for the Uncertainty Principle. Since it implies that p cannot be a function of q (because it would mean p and q can be determined precisely at the same time), p can be related to q only in the form of an operator such as - i d/dq, where i = . The commutative relation is the direct result of such interpretation. Application of this rule for p and q to the equation relating the total energy E to the kinetic energy p 2 /2m and the potential energy V(q), e.g., E = p 2 /2m + V(q), yields the time-independent Schrodinger Equation for one particle with mass m and interacting potential V (i.e., it describes the stationary states with well-defined energy E corresponding to E 0, and t in the uncertainty relation t E > ) : For a given interacting | IN | IN CM EN | 188,841 |

By deflecting sexist remarks and not standing up for yourself, you're making it seem like they are acceptable and don't bother you. I had a problem with a make co-worker calling me "sweetie", so after the third time I said "You know, I'm sure this isn't your intention, but when you call me that it makes me uncomfortable, so I'd really rather you just use my name." No problems after that. Sure, snappy comebacks might seem fun, but by not addressing the blatant sexism in all of the situations presented, you're allowing it to continue.

Dear Colin, It was terrific to have met you while you were visiting Western Australia, and s o luckily be able to obtain from you the book you have written called "how to make a living as an artist". The book itself has been totally inspirational in that it has given me a sense of direction and ambition towards developing my artwork and thus becoming a successful artist. To also be able to talk personally to such a successful artist as yourself, has created within me a growing confidence about my own self-esteem and potential, which has to now, been somewhat retarded by my negative "Inner Critic". Your discussion about the left brain/right brain modalities, and the necessary balancing of the two spheres, has made me realize just how much my left brain is dysfunctional, in the realms of business management and how to have confidence enough to be able to "sell" myself, and what I create- in others words to "be out there ", instead of remaining in my insular studio, and to start mixing with people involved with artistic interests, especially in the areas of painting, printmaking, and of course necessary drawing.

all trees around Jerusalem were destroyed by 70 A.D. by the Roman general, Titus, during his siege of Jerusalem. It should be noted that the Messiah was charged by the Jewish authorities with the most heinous of crimes -- that of blasphemy (see Matthew 26:65). This meant that he was looked upon by the people as "accursed of God," and this is exactly how the apostle Paul described him in Galatians 3:13. This was a reference to Deuteronomy 21:22-23 in the Old Testament -- where it explains that such an "accursed" person even defiled the very soil where his execution took place. This defilement also applied to the TREE on which a person was hanged or crucified. In the Book of Hebrews Paul said that the tree (the stauros ) was considered "a shame" (Hebrews 12:2) and the crosspiece (Latin: patibulum ) "the reproach" (Hebrews 13:13). All the instruments of crucifixion were "accursed" because they came into contact with the "accursed one." Writes Ernest Martin -- The essential teaching on how to cleanse the land of such "accursedness" is found in Deuteronomy 21:22, 23, and in the previous verse 21 it says this purging was to be done by burning (Hebrew: bahgar ). In the Old Testament example of such purging, it was thought necessary to burn the possessions of such an "accursed one" because the abominable sin of the person was even transferred to the things owned by the sinner (since he had touched them and this reckoned even | OP | OP RS | 1,721,852 |
you are doing this for Allah swt and not for a girl you like. In Islam, everything is about your sincere intention. Don't be nervous about going to your masjid. A buddy is always the best thing. Muslims are very welcoming to reverts. Ask your friend to go with you to talk to the Imam and join one of the Brother's classes. Before you go to the masjid, make sure you have showered from head to foot and cleaned your teeth etc. And wear clean clothing. You will learn more about ritual ablutions etc when you join a class.

I just went through the whole searching long distance thing. I searched long distance (half way across the country) for about 2 months, with absolutely no hits. The second I moved however, it all changed and ended up having to choose between job offers within 3 weeks of moving!

believe. In a recent BBC3 documentary Clarke Carlisle (chairman of the Professional Footballers Assocation) spoke to many ex-professionals who had experienced racist abuse. Tottenham and England player Jermaine Jenas said he had been regularly racially abused by supporters during his career. The documentary also showed racist chanting of supporters at football matches, including anti-Semitic abuse aimed at Tottenham Hotspur. Ex-footballers such as Sol Campbell have also spoken to the media giving accounts of abuse and racial stereotyping that they have suffered, not only from fans, but their own clubs and managers. During the 2011/12 season the issue of racism became a central issue in the Football Association (FA) and more broadly within the sport. Luis Suarez was banned for eight matches after racially abusing Patrice Evra, John Terry (England captain at the time) was accused of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand on the pitch and Oldham player Tom Adeyemi was abused by Liverpool supporters during a match. These high profile incidents were not handled well by either their clubs or the FA. In the aftermath of the Suarez/Evra incident, Liverpool responded by defending Suarez uncritically, and instructing the players to wear pro-Suarez T-shirts whilst warming up for the next game. Chelsea similarly backed Terry as did the England manger that refused to take the captaincy away from Terry, The FA eventually sacked Terry as captain, but he was permitted to play at the recent Euro championships for England, just not as captain.

Litchfield, who has long attended to the subject of music, has been so kind as to give me the following remarks: -- "The question, what is the "essence of musical 'expression' involves a number "of obscure points, which, so far as I am aware, are as "yet unsolved enigmas. Up to a certain point, however, any law which is found to hold as to the expression of the emotions by simple sounds must apply to "the more developed mode of expression in song, which "may be taken as the primary type of all music. A "great part of the emotional effect of a song depends "on the character of the action by which the sounds "are produced. In songs, for instance, which express "great vehemence of passion, the effect often chiefly "depends on the forcible utterance of some one or two "characteristic passages which demand great exertion "of vocal force; and it will be frequently noticed that "a song of this character fails of its proper effect when "sung by a voice of sufficient power and range to give "the characteristic passages without much exertion. "This is, no doubt, the secret of the loss of effect so 8 Quoted by Gratiolet, 'De la Physionomie,' 1865, p. 115. [page] 95 "often produced by the transposition of a song from "one key to another.

The elevator soon dinged open and the two entered, the doors closing behind them as Harry once again pushed one of the many buttons lining the wall before the box jolted, slowly moving upwards. Silence fell over them as they waited momentarily before the doors dinged open, Harry taking hold of her hand once again, pulling her out into the carpeted corridor.

Being inspired by the likes of John Lennon, Bob Marley, Roger Waters, Bob Dylan, and many other artists who incorporated social justice into their music, we would be fooling ourselves if it wasn't a part of our creative process. We believe whole-heartedly that music is the most powerful tool we humans possess and combined with the reach of celebrity, well that's a potion for changing the world right there and we intend to use it with great conviction. - Sepp and Sohl you both fled Iran as children so how has your past had an impact on the music you make and also how you see the world? It certainly helped shape our global outlook on life. When life begins with that much chaos and uncertainty, it's tough to find a stable ground to lift off from. But at the same time, if it wasn't for our past we would not have discovered the music and musicians that lead our journey to where we are today. John Lennon taught us to be dreamers.

good quality white sandwich loaf should do the trick. The cheese Jamie magazine recipe croque monsieur. Photograph: Felicity Cloake Gruyre is a firm, slightly elastic mountain cheese with a slightly sweet, nutty flavour. Most importantly for our purposes, it melts magnificently. Wikipedia France, however, claims that emmental is the more common choice (possibly, I speculate slightly cynically, because it's considerably cheaper). I substitute it in the Jamie magazine recipe, and decide I'm prepared to push the boat out for a decent croque: emmental's milder flavour is distinctly underwhelming. Julia Child, despite, one presumes, having consumed many a croque monsieur during her years in France, gives a recipe which calls for "mozzarella cheese or rather soft Swiss". Mozzarella, of course, dissolves like a dream when put in contact with heat, but, milky and unsalted, it lacks the distinctively cheesy flavour which the croque demands. Gruyre it is. The bechamel Waitrose recipe croque monsieur. Photograph: Felicity Cloake Of course, there is one thing that sets the croque apart from other great cheese and ham toasted sandwiches, namely that it sometimes (although not always) arrives at the table drowned in golden and bubbling bechamel sauce. Jamie magazine opts for a very simple, cheese-free version to top the croque, saving the Gruyre for the filling, while Saveur magazine not only uses it in the sauce as well as the filling, but sticks in some heretical parmesan for good measure. Although I find the plain bechamel a bit boring, I much prefer the sweeter Gruyre-only | HI | HI HT RE | 102,514 |

A. Hi there If you share Parental responsibility with your ex, he will need your permission to take your son abroad unless one of you has a Residence Order. The one with the order in their favour can take the child abroad for up to one month without consent. That said, I always advise that you notify the other parent of the holiday and provide contact details in the event of an emergency unless there is a good reason for not doing so.

warned, joined in the second chorus. He was always careful to rest his voice while the others were singing, and it was considered the proper thing for him to begin his lines so closely after each chorus as to make his first note a prolongation of the last note of the preceding chorus. His lines were expected to rhyme, but he was prudently economical of them, generally using only one line, repeated twice, for each verse. One of the best known of the windlass songs was the " Shanandore": You Shanandore,I long to hear you. Hurrah, you rollin' river! You Shanandore, I long to hear you. Ah, ha, you Shanandore. This is clearly of negro origin, for the "Shanandore" is evidently the river Shenandoah. In course of time some shanty-man of limited geographical knowledge, not comprehending that the "Shanandore" was a river, but conceiving that the first chorus required explanation, changed the second chorus. Thus the modified song soon lost all trace of the Shenandoah River, and assumed the following form, in which it was known to the last generation of sailors: For seven long years I courted Sally. Hurrah, you rollin' river! I courted Sally down in yon valley. Ah, ha! I'm bound away on the wild Missouri. // I'm going to assume for now that by "windlass" he means "capstan."

This planet would have to be on the exact opposite side of the Sun. If there was, would we have seen it by now? It is impossible for there to be another planet on the opposite side of the Sun from the Earth, in the same orbit. We would have seen the gravitational effect of this planet on other planets, and, because the Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, we probably would have seen the planet as well. I am inquiring about the difference between the pull the Sun has on the Earth and the pull the Moon has on the Earth. I am hoping you could show me the calculations physicists use to determine how many times greater the Sun's pull is compared to the Moon's pull.

the ethics of journalism, according to Belsey (1992: 77). He suggests that this is because society "values personal privacy" but also "thrives on publicity". In their book Media Ethics , Christians et al. (1991) give case examples and draw out three moral principles: the first "promotes decency and basic fairness as non-negotiable"; the second puts forward "redeeming social value" as the guiding principle for choosing what private information can be disclosed; and the third states that "the dignity of persons ought not be maligned in the name of press privilege" (Christians et al. 1991: 139 -- 140). Holsinger (1991) also states that "questions of privacy present more hard decisions than any others", and few topics are debated more heatedly. It is interesting to note that far more attention appears to have been paid to the privacy of children as perpetrators of crime than as victims. The recognition that young offenders need privacy appears to be universally recognised on the grounds that "publicity for juvenile offenders would stigmatise them and make it more difficult for them to go straight" (Holsinger 1991: 380). There are clearly accepted arguments that young people who commit crimes "should not be haunted for the rest of their lives by the mistakes of their youth" (Holsinger 1991: 237). This is why identification of the perpetrators in the Bulger case in the United Kingdom caused such intense debate (Franklin and Horwath 1996).

America, but there is a right way -- and a wrong way -- to go about it. President Obama and Congressional Democrats want a government-run health care system that puts a Washington bureaucrat between American families and their doctors. And yes, that does include the 'death panel' as Sarah Palin said. She said it because it's true, she's read the bill. Have you? And Obama has said that there would be one. Their first thought was to try to rush a bill to the White House before Congress left Washington for August recess, and now we know why. The American people have had a chance to read for themselves what President Obama and his Democrat allies in Congress intend for our health care and have been letting them know, loud and clear, in townhall meetings and national polls, that they don't like it at all. But the Obama Democrats have circled the wagons, stung and angry that the people dare presume to tell them what kind of health care they want. So Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid will be coming back to Washington to show the American people they won't let a little thing like public outrage get between them and their desire for socialist control over our lives. Barack Obama and congressional Democrats think government is the solution to every problem. They're wrong. The government already runs car companies, banks and mortgage companies.

It gets to your lungs faster and because it goes right to your lungs, you need a lot less of the medicine. Q. I am allergic to pollen. I know it comes from trees and plants, but what is it? A. Pollen is a fine powder that comes from trees and plants. In order for certain trees and plants to grow new trees and plants, they need to send pollen into the air, carried by the wind. Unfortunately this means that they can also be inhaled into our lungs and noses where they can cause allergies. Q. Will my asthma ever go away? A. This is not easy to figure out. For some people, asthma goes away at some point and never seems to come back. For others, asthma goes away for many years but comes back later as an adult. And then there are some people who always have asthma. Even if your asthma stays with you always, as long as you keep it under control you can live a normal active life. Q.

For more about Elizabeth Cohen's book, visit my website for a complete review: Elizabeth Cohen and I first compared notes about patient empowerment in 2007, before many people were talking about the necessity for patients to understand the healthcare system and how to advocate for themselves. We had an immediate connection - both of us had suffered at the hands of the healthcare system, and both of us are driven to make sure we prevent others from suffering needlessly, too. These years later, Elizabeth has penned an outstanding primer for kickstarting that process in patients. Just as the title promises, readers will come away with the foundation of understanding why they need to step up, and the basic tools they need to advocate for themselves - to become empowered. The Empowered Patient is so very readable. It's | IP | IP DS | 721,610 |

language of business. "We have to change the way we communicate," says Williamson who relates his own experience on this issue. Five years ago, he was talking to the CEO of a major bank in Australia and mentioned the word 'bandwidth'. He says for the CEO, the word 'bandwidth' was "not in his comfort level" and told him it is best for him to talk to the CIO. "We need to make sure who we are talking to, that is a skill we need to invest," says Williamson. Trusted advisers For Shane O'Neill, infrastructure and systems architect at Tourism Australia, the transformation of the IT organisation is reflected in the questions it gets from business users. "We seem to be going through continuous evolution," says O'Neill. "It is a case of finding the best fit for the business need and be across all levels of technology." A couple of years ago, questions to the IT team would be what type of laptop would they recommend. Now it would be someone asking about options for hosting, for instance, a Facebook campaign. "We fought long and hard to establish trust with the business," he says. "In the last two years the business has accepted the advice we give, the solutions we give." Before that, he says, there may be a project that will be given to a design agency.

The Birth of Psychometrics: Cambridge 1886 to 1889 It is a little known fact that psychometrics as a science began in Cambridge between 1886 and 1889. The first laboratory dedicated to the subject was set up within the Cavendish Physics Laboratory in the University of Cambridge by James McKeen Cattell in 1887. In Cattell's own words " In the Cavendish Laboratory was also set up apparatus for research and this was the beginning of the first British laboratory of psychology" (Cattell, Early Psychological Laboratories,1928). Cattell, an American, completed his PhD, entitled ?Psychometric Investigations? (Cattell, 1886), with Wundt at Leipzig . During his period in Leipzig , Cattell had been in frequent correspondence with Francis Galton at his Anthropometric Laboratory in London (Galton, 1887) and he quickly saw the potential for synergising Wundt?s psychophysics with Galton?s mathematical approach to the examination of individual differences. On leaving Leipzig , and after a brief visit to America , Cattell returned to Europe to take up an appointment in the University of Cambridge in October 1886 as ?Fellow Commoner? at St John?s College and lecturer in the University. Anthropometrics at Cambridge 1885 - 1886 Before the arrival of Cattell, Galton had presented the Rede Lecture at Cambridge in June 1884 on the topic ?The nature, principles and objects of the quantitative estimate of some of the less commonly and less easily measured of the human faculties?, and presented the University with several instruments similar to those he had used in his South Kensington Anthropometric | NARRATIVE | NA HA | 1,472,134 |
that no nation on earth is more dependent upon its assets in space than the United States. Policy, like music CD's and novels, often needs a hook. I offer this one: At the height of the Iraq war, the United States was spending close to $1 billion per day. For about 20 days of that budget, we could easily support NASA and find the solutions needed to keep our nation preeminent in space. The Chinese often rightfully calibrate their plans for the future in increments of 50, 100 or even 200 years down the road. With regard to our human space program, a President McCain or a President Obama needs to emulate that thinking. Should that not happen, the logical progression of our destiny may be at risk. 7 Comments It's not just the space program, funds are depreciating in medical research as well. Funding levels are currently at about one-third what they were just 8 or 9 years ago. A problem, as implied by the author, is the future. With funding levels to low, there is no incentive for young talent to move into the field of science, but rather to consider more lucrative and secure means of employment. At the moment it is quite apparent we are losing the future for our children, and our children's-children, on many fronts. Wrong!! With every crisis comes opportunity. Now is the time to radically change the mission of NASA to devote all it"s resources -- money and minds -- to combat | OP | OP OB | 174,711 |

U.S. in February, after widespread protests had already begun in Benghazi, a team of U.S. Air Force maintenance experts conducted a seminar for nearly 50 members of the Libyan air force at a Libyan air base in Tripoli that was "hoped to lead to a continuing training program for Libyan air force maintenance experts," according to a report by the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. The reported noted, "In the last 18 months, the United States and Libya have made great strides regarding military cooperation," including the signing of a defense Memorandum of Understanding. In September 2009, three senior Libyan military officers were hosted at the U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Germany in hopes of helping the U.S. and Libya "build their military relationship," according to a report by U.S. Africa Command, which is now playing a key role in operations against Gadhafi forces in Libya. Though U.S. trade policy towards Libya does not allow the import or export of lethal "defense articles," in 2008 and 2009 alone U.S. companies exported over $60 million in military wares to Libya, mostly aircraft equipment, according to two State Department reports. Part of the 2008 deal included more than $1 million in explosives. What drove so many Libyans to volunteer as suicide bombers for the war in Iraq?

media does not. Some news organizations even designate employees to be responsible for updating the networks' social media profiles all hours of the day with breaking news. In my opinion, having constant access to news seems to keep people more informed by much easier means. The number of social media networks is continually growing. Different networks cater to different audiences and provide various services, but each is successful in fulfilling its own specific purpose. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, Pinterest and Instagram are just a few of the channels that currently see more popular use. Even in the corporate world, a business isn't fully catering to its customers if it doesn't have profiles on at least a majority of the main social networks. LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals. Members of the working world can make a profile comprised of their resumes, recommendations from references, links to portfolios and more. It's crazy to be able to say that you got a job or internship essentially through the use of online social networking. Some feel that social media has been taken out of hand and strongly advise against its use. It's true that people have lost jobs over tweeting messages their supervisors didn't approve of. People can also ruin many potential opportunities by having unfavorable social networking profiles. Several have frowned upon social media use with trends such as cyberbullying reaching the public eye. An optimistic quote says, "If anything can go well, it will."

Love is in the air at Keltic Lodge Friday, September 28th, 2012 I have enjoyed each season ranging from 22? of snow overnight and making snow angels with my kids, to spring when the blossoms and buds blanketed the majestic highlands while the grass at Highlands Links became so green that it appeared artificial because nothing was that perfect! With summer, I swore that it was my favourite with hot days, trade winds blowing, swimming in turquoise waters that were as warm as bath water. The summer brought travelers, artisans and the sights, sounds and flavours for the Keltic Lodge and Ingonish all together which was splendid. Now today changed everything! Today was I was greeted with a crisp fall morning and a sunrise that was so bright it meandered its way through closed blinds. When I opened my eyes, the fall colours on the trees made me pause and marvel at this phenomenon that shades each leaf with vibrancy. Then with panic, Monika screamed at me that a moose was on our front lawn! With excitement the kids and I raced to the windows and saw a huge male trotting up the Keltic In road towards the Keltic Lodge. I raced out the door because confined moose and guests concern me since very few people understand that moose in 'love' this time of the year are very aggressive. So today, I decided to take my vehicle to provide some distance for myself. Along the way I was able to | IP | IP DS | 271,496 |
you feel you should be a suggested user and focus on that area. Now at this point that can be difficult to figure out because Google is not giving us suggested users on every term. But if there are no suggested users at this moment of time, that doesn't mean there will never be any. The best you can do is, just like with keyword research, find the one which fits you best, has enough searches per day on it and doesn't have competition you can never beat. Try to get into that area by posting and writing about that topic. There seems to be still room in the "SEO" section . Author Authority There is one thing which I think some people will underestimate: the power of the author. Google has been 'pushing' author related elements (rel=author for example) a lot in the past few months, and with reason. Google wants to make sure that the people they recommend and the content from people they recommend is from an authoritative source, people should trust the person who shares the content. Therefore Google will favor authors with a high profile. It is not without reason that on almost every search I do which is related to Search Marketing Danny Sullivan pops up. You have to therefore work on your author profile. Fill out your Google Profile and tell Google where you are publishing your content and make sure you have all the rel=author elements set up.

is really light skinned and his son, my dp is very dark skinned. I also said later in my post; However I think our generation of children are growing up in a society where there is so much more diversity and mixes of families/children people will not be able to say on face value whether people are full black/mixed race etc. Haven't read all the long posts, but the first thing I thought was: they won't be black. They will be mixed. My kids are mixed Asian. It always shocks me when people describe them as 'Asian' (they do look it) as to me, they just look like my kids! I certainly don't feel like the only 'white' person in the family. You sound really aware of colour...are your family weird about it? My kids are half white (my side) and half Black African. They are dark skinned and have my husbands eyes and nose. But I can still see my side of the family in them. Can't say it's a particular part of the face but there is a real resemblence - my dd to me and my ds to my father. Not many can see it, but we can.

but perhaps I wasn't entirely clear about that. I have edited my answer a bit: " Much of the time would not really be a common idiomatic expression in this situation; I'd be reluctant to use it in a context of frequent events, because I can't imagine a situation where you could not substitute often , a simpler word." -- Cerberus Mar 14 '11 at 11:40 I agree completely with psmears and disagree with Cerberus. The only difference I find is that "most" implies a higher proportion (or rather, commitment to a higher proportion) than "much". -- Colin Fine Mar 14 '11 at 12:48 @Cerberus: First, I totally agree that often is often a much better substitute... though that doesn't mean the other usage doesn't exist of course :) I'm not really sure I see a big distinction between use for intermittent/discrete frequency versus proportion of the time - when used in the former context I always interpret "Discrete event A happens x% of the time" as "When the opportunity arises for event A to happen, it will materialise x% of the time".

Similarly, while I happen to generally support abortion, I am a staunch advocate of the right to bear arms, and vehemently oppose most forms of gun control. As for Ben Stein, you are absolutely correct? He's yet another wealthy clown who's out of touch when it comes to issues that affect the average American. Or, more accurately, he has his own agenda, which he so unabashedly tries to advance by attempting to strike fear in the heart of your average Joe Blow. The caption below his joke-of-an-article is a hoot: "Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly Hills and Malibu." That he lives in Beverly Hills AND Malibu should be sufficient to signal any reasonable person that his views and interests probably go counter to those of 75% of the American population. And actor?! Give me a break!!! The only "acting" I have ever seen by this joker is in those goofy commercials from eons ago: "Vizine...gets the red out." A lawyer?! Where??? When was the last time we witnessed from this clown a scholarly opinion on any significant legal matter? At least his (also Jewish) buddy, Harvey Levin, functioned as a third-rate lawyer rendering legal opinions on fender benders, small claims, etc. on "People's Court" before moving on to the lowest form of trash TV "journalism" via his TMZ productions.

I did not want to agree it was a bad behavior. I am not trying to offend anyone here. I am just sharing the painful journey that I have gone through. Yesterday I was watching a movie for kids with my son, the movie was trying tell kids that everyone has to follow certain rules to protect themselves, for example you have to follow the traffic law when you drive, otherwise, you will get hurt or be punished. Things like that simple stuff for grade level kids.

others" (Cohen 2006:1), but to conclude thereby that economic globalisation is undermining the nation state is to approach the topic "[w]ith little sense of history" (Mann 1997:494); as Goldblatt et al. note, "[s]tate autonomy has always been limited and constrained by global forces and international actors" (1997:76). Not only has economic globalisation's influence on state power been overstated, its extent and uniformity have been misrepresented. Gilpin illustrates this with the examples of trade remaining "confined to a limited number of economic sectors" (2003:351) and lack of wage uniformity worldwide which "clearly suggests that the world is not as integrated as many proclaim" (2003:351). In general, he posits, the "impact of the global economy is highly uneven, and its impact varies from issue to issue; finance is much more globalized than are services and industrial production" (2003:349). One argument not yet considered is that economic globalization has provoked "an increasing demand for political co-operation across borders" (Sorensen 2006:194) and that the integration of states into various IGOs has diminished state sovereignty. Mann acknowledges the distant possibility of free trade being achieved "as the EU, NAFTA, the Asian and Pacific Conference countries and other trade groups merge under the loose umbrella of GATT" (1997:488). He notes Europe's "unique degree of continental economic integration" but is quick to point out that the EU's free market hardly represents economic globalisation generally, and that within it, "symbiosis between the national and the transnational remains" (1997:480). In any case, most economic IGOs demonstrate regionalism, not globalism. | IP | IP PA | 210,410 |
