storytelling can serve as a useful tool in cultural studies. As an after-school program with first-generation immigrant children at the Community Youth Center, it engages the children in digital storytelling activities as a way to encourage the children to express their understanding of American culture and the way in which their native heritage stays embedded within. This serves to help the children develop a sense of pride and respect for their ancestors' cultures while finding a way to integrate this with an American culture. This also provides an opportunity for them to think about their social identities and cultural curiosities while building self-esteem and self-confidence. Furthermore, it provides a way for educators to incorporate digital media art and technology in the classroom or community center. Such teaching methods can be adapted to other multicultural and cross-cultural topics. Considering Diaspora and Social Networks: ICT Design Possibilities , Ramesh Srinivasan The submitted paper explores the interaction between emergent information technologies, social networks and "community." This is investigated via the framework of cultural and diasporic studies. The potential of cultural ontologies to create locally relevant information and communications technologies (ICTs) is explored. A set of testable hypotheses that researchers can consider is presented to examine these impacts. This is presented via an ongoing effort, the case study of the South Asian Web, a diasporic social network system designed for a community of South Asian immigrants in the Los Angeles (California, USA) region.

your sex life -- and still enjoy it. Pamela Stephenson Connolly is a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist who specialises in treating sexual disorders. Comments I am so sorry about what has happened to you. It is such an awful thing to have someone lie to you, but this takes it to a whole other level. I really think that the best thing you can do is get some counselling - there are some fantastic counsellors out there who will be able to help you work through this and allow you to start building trust with people again. There are no short answers but I think doing that will allow you to start working your way out of the darkness you are in right now. My heart goes out to you. It will take time to accept that someone deceived you in this way, and whatever his reasons for doing so, he did deceive you. You feel deceived because you have been deceived. Deception in any relationship is going to make you call into question all the foundations on which it was built and sustained. You will be able to overcome this, but before you start drawing up the lists that are (quite rightly) recommended by Pamela, I think you need time to process the scale of this betrayal of trust. Pamela gives broadly good advice and the enquirer has been seriously betrayed at one level, although it seems clear that his HIV-positive partner did not put him at any | OP | OP AV | 250,885 |

good lawyer can help you steer clear of any potential liability issues, or protect your IP from unlawful -- and profit robbing -- infringement. As your income grows, so will your need for these professionals. Step 8: Don't get frustrated. You might be lucky enough to land a fantastic gig on your first try, but chances are you're going to have more slow periods than busy ones, especially in your early years. Remember, freelancing is a career choice. You can't realistically expect to start out at the executive level in an industry you've never worked in, so don't get frustrated when you're doing jobs that might not have the cachet you were dreaming of when you started your new business. There's nothing wrong with taking the work that pays the bills. It's what you were doing in your corporate job, and there's a chance you'll have to do some of it occasionally. In the beginning, you might be doing more of the jobs you don't like so that you can get to the jobs you do like. Eventually you should be able to pick and choose your dream projects, but you've got to make a name for yourself first. Step 9: Save Money. Just like any other entrepreneur, you're going to have times when you're too busy to eat, and times when you don't have a project to work on.

for the people of the city, how can you complain that people are in a sour mood over it all? Coverage is not always encouraging and until it is over, you won't know if some of the possible, predicted problems won't actually be major problems. You won't know if the entertainment will be acceptable for an event braodcast around the world and repsenting the nation... And there is in fact reason to be concerned. I hope you are right and it goes incredibly well and everyone enjoys it and it isn't embarassing. Let's not forget the other chestnut that is being wheeled out - the 9 billion this is costing could have been spent on hospitals, schools etc etc. No it wouldn't - the government just wouldn't have spent any money at all. Fact is that the Olympics have forced the organisers and government to work to a fixed deadline. The Underground has been significantly improved, a huge swathe of land has been redeveloped, the games have provided employent for thousands of people who would instead have increasing the jobless totals. The Olympics is the greatest sporting event on the planet. For 2 weeks, the world will be interested in what is happening in our own back yard. I think this is an opportunity for the country to be proud of what has been achieved - a project like this will never be without mistakes (G4S being the biggest), but providing everything goes alright on the night, does it matter. | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 397,539 |
in a big room, we would take a couch and stand it on its side and make a baffle for that amp to sound different, you know? That was a lot of fun -- kind of empowering, in a way -- to hear something and not have it be what you want it to be, so figuring out how to change it. That was a really fun experience. It's not that we didn't enjoy that or wanted something different, but that was a completely independent record. Working with New West, and making this record with someone as experienced as John Agnello who produced the album, it does allow the band to focus on performing, on being the best drummer, or singer, or guitarist, or bass player we can be. When you have a veteran like John worrying about things like mic placement or "getting a different perspective on this sound" and doing things we are capable of but can work together on, it's very different. Like 180 degrees different. To get to work with someone like John or any of the producers we have worked with over the years is so educational.

for someone to pass you a dish or a seasoning . Never reach across a dish or someone else's plate to reach something; instead, politely ask the person sitting next to you to "please pass the _____." 4 Don't put your elbows on the table when you're eating . It's an old standby to admonish people for putting elbows on the table during a meal. If the meal has yet to begin or is over, however, putting your elbows on the table is acceptable. 5 Know how to manage informal and formal place settings . One of the most intimidating parts about dining can be not knowing which utensils or plates to use. Here's a quick primer: If you forget the particulars, remember: "work from the outside in." This basically means that if there are utensils on both the right and left sides of the plate, you'll start with what's furthest right and furthest left, and gradually work closer to the plate. If all else fails, just watch what everyone else is doing. For an informal place setting, you should have a dinner plate in the center. Immediately to the left of the plate will be two forks -- the one closest to the plate is the "dinner fork," to be used for the main course; the one furthest from the plate is meant for a salad or appetizer. A dinner knife will be directly to the right of the plate, with the blade facing toward it; next to that | HI | HI HT | 121,420 |
implies discarding a ruling for another. As long as both rulings can be applied, naskh is not resorted to. The more important conditions are as follows: 1) The most important condition for naskh to have occurred is that the two rulings in question must directly contradict each other, such that both rulings cannot be applied at the same time, and there exists no way to reconcile them . This is because, as just mentioned, naskh is only called a s a last-resort, when there exists no other way to explain the two rulings . Therefore, if one of the rulings can apply to a specific case, and the other ruling to a different case, this cannot be considered an example of naskh .

progressed in this way by a series of individual creations which have succeeded through multifarious efforts animated by one and the same impulse. Classical antiquity had known nothing of propaganda; its justice had the unruffled serenity of the gods upon Olympus. Spiritual expansion, missionary zeal, impetus, movement, all these are of Judaic-Christian origin. But because men went on using the same word, they too readily thought they were dealing with the same thing. We cannot too often repeat that successive creations, in- dividual and contingent, will be generally grouped under the same heading, classified under the same idea and labelled by the same name, if each one has given rise to the one that follows it and if they appear, in retrospect, as continuations of one another. Let us go further. The name will not apply only to the terms already existing of the series thus obtained. Encroaching on the future, it will denote the whole series, and it will be placed at the end, nay, be drawn out to infinity; as the designation was created long ago, we shall imagine the idea which it represents as having been also created just as long ago, and indeed existing since the beginning of time, though still open to additions and of undetermined content; thus each advance is imagined to be so much gained over an entity conceived as pre-existing; reality is looked upon as eating its way into the ideal, incorporating into itself, bit by bit, the totality of eternal justice. | IN | IN | 234,154 |
'A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.'

only increased. Why would NATO or any other organisation, want a country that behaves in this manner toward a member of its alliance; an alliance that the offending country is trying to join. It is in Greece's favour to promote the development of its neighbours and, I believe, has substantial trade relations with both Turkey and FYROM. But it cannot do so at its own expense by turning a blind eye to these flagrant provacations. AHamilton - Chicago AHamilton - Chicago: Who is offending who? On December 5, 2011, the International Court of Justice at The Hague by a 15 to 1 verdict ruled that Greece breached the 1995 Interim accord with Macedonia by blocking/obstructing Macedonia's accession to NATO at the 2008 Bucharest Summit. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Incidentally, the sole dissenting judge was Greek, who should have recused himself from the case. Are the Greeks above the rule of law and the international agreements that they sign? As for Greece's supposedly huge compromise, Greece already accepted the term "Macedonia" from the very outset for the new country, under the appellation "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia". Greeks have simply gone on to use the insulting term "FYROM" in order to bury the Macedonia component to the name and hoodwink people. The whole "irredentist" criticism is nothing but a red herring constantly employed by Greece in order to distract from Greece's ongoing non-recognition of its large Macedonian minority.

at 39:20: 'aside from a single ambiguous mention in the Quran itself, there is no mention of Mecca, not one, in any datable text for over a hundred years after Muhammad's death.' How is the reference ambiguous? The mention of Mecca is very explicit and there is only one meaning of the noun i.e. the sacred city where Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born. To suggest that the reference is ambiguous is to deliberately turn a blind eye to established facts. This is the problem with rejecting the Islamic tradition as any meaning and any interpretation, no matter how erroneous, can be entertained. Commenting on the prospect of taking up another explanation for Mecca, Patricia Crone states in the documentary: 'why take it on, well that's what historians do, if things don't fit you try something else that might fit'. Both, Holland and Crone, do not provide any reasons to suspect the historicity of the city of Mecca presented in the Islamic narrative. Holland's reason seems to be "the absence of evidence is evidence for absence". But is the evidence absent? Absolutely not, there is more than enough evidence to ascertain the existence of the sacred city of Mecca of the Islamic narrative. By questioning the existence of such a city, Holland is claiming a mass conspiracy on part of the early Muslims. Hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims have been travelling to Mecca from the early days of Islam and this practice never ceased to exist to this | IP | IP PA | 3,129,370 |
Pages Wednesday, October 24, 2012 As I happily prepare for our new life in India, New Zealand persistently interrupts. I woke this morning to a kind email from John Glennie. He'd just read a post I'd written long ago about his 119-day nightmare adrift with a hardy crew aboard the capsized Rose-Noelle. After they'd washed ashore on New Zealand territory they'd briefly been accused of being drug smugglers. Just what they needed after a life-and-death struggle that nearly destroyed their souls. He wanted to bring my attention to a new piece he'd written about what it takes for the human spirit to survive such an ordeal. The crew of the Rose-Noelle after being rescued. His email, a typically upbeat and unsentimental Kiwi communication, was a welcome hand across the large divide that has arisen between my now and my Kiwi time.

How to tell if a suit fits by James Gallichio A man will never look better than when he is wearing a high quality, well-fitted suit. Suits are designed to accentuate all of a man's best features; they can be made to enhance the broadness of the shoulders, elongate the body and smooth away the bulges many portly gentlemen may be hiding in their bellies. When a suit fits incorrectly, however, the opposite happens -- rather than looking magnificent, he looks unkempt. Many men have trouble in this area, as pushy sales staff are oftentimes all too quick to put you in a suit that does not fit you correctly. There are three general ways in which a gentleman can purchase a suit: off-the-rack, altered from a block or tailor made from scratch. In the latter two scenarios, a tailor will fit the jacket and pants to match your body shape, which makes the selection process as easy as choosing a fabric and cut. However, when buying a suit off the rack, which is far more common and less expensive, the process is much more difficult; you're on your own, and many men don't know where to start. Which begs the question: How do you tell whether a suit fits correctly? Here are some handy rules of thumb that can help you to find the best suit for you body. 0.

Group discussions conducted with close to 40 participants showed that the price of water, rather than water availability, has the greatest impact on their ability to remain active participants in the community as most were on fixed incomes. Water-pricing structures may produce unintended consequences for this group. 'Rural seniors play an important part in the sustainability of rural communities, they continue to make an important contribution to the understanding of water conservation, and there is much to be gained from actively supporting their ability to age well,' says Professor Warburton. 'While extreme events such as heat waves can affect the most vulnerable in our communities, rural seniors are not necessarily vulnerable to the vagaries of water availability. They are, however, vulnerable to policy decisions which increase costs causing the greatest impact on their ability to live active and engaged lives,' says Dr O'Keefe.

Tom Wood: Men and Women Tom Wood: Men and Women Tom Wood: Men and Women Tom Wood: Men and Women Tom Wood: Men and Women Tom Wood: Men and Women INFO Irish born photographer Tom Wood (b. 1951) has, for the last four decades, continuously recorded the daily lives of the people of Liverpool and the Merseyside area -- at the football ground and markets, on the bus and the ferry, in pubs and nightclubs, workplaces, schools and hospitals. Never seen without his camera, and constantly moving between different formats and photographic styles, colour and black and white, Wood readily mixes images of strangers with portraits of family and friends. His work, although documentary in its approach, is much more fluid than that -- an exploration of the medium of photography as much as a celebration of the city of Liverpool and its inhabitants. This first major solo exhibition of Tom Wood's work in the UK focuses on previously unseen portraits dating from the early 1970s to the early 2000s. The exhibition also features some of Wood's rarely seen book dummies -- including Looking for Love (1989), All Zones off Peak (1998) and Photieman , (2005) -- as well as a selection of vintage work prints, giving an overview of his important publishing output and an insight into his working methods.

on console but all the graphics and animations have been moved onto the other machines. A mid 1990s PS1 era game that I can play on a cutting edge tablet computer over 15 years later. It suggests a very low common denominator for the future of gaming. So Assassins Creed X has just come out and I can 'continue the same game experience' on my Blackberry, my 3DS, my Xbox 360 and my PC? That will be an interesting sight to see. With a separate licence paid for on each device, no doubt. Hmm, the ubiquity of ubisoft... over several platforms. They've come up with some novel IPs over the years. But this constant pressure to 'monetise' across all platforms all the time doesn't bode well for future risk-taking. Maybe they just know (or are hedging bets) that the big living room console AAA model isn't going to work forever. After this current gen of consoles, I'm bailing out. With their attitude to DRM and insulting statements made elsewhere about the PC market, Ubisoft's contempt for consumers couldn't be more obvious. My contempt for them is at least as great. Hopefully they're kept quiet for a while by the question of when best to introduce microtransactions in smartphone games, or whatever fascinating paradigm shift they're working on.

passes in the offensive zone. 5. Having two forwards on the strong-side defenseman in the neutral zone allows the defenseman the ability to bypass two players with one pass. This again will back off our defensemen because they have no support coming back through the middle of the ice. 6. The ability to not get a puck deep. To simplify things: Good line changes; disciplined fore-checking; sustained offensive zone pressure; proper puck management; having one-man on the puck in the neutral zone; getting pucks deep. Essentially, all of this will deny the opposition from having any quality rush offense. Why? Because they are getting possession of the puck in difficult areas to make plays and they will be simply to fatigued to generate anything offensively when they do get the puck. | OP | OP | 3,370,082 |

I originally owned this book about 25 years ago, then lost it during a relocation. For years I hoped off and on that there would be a chance to find and purchase another copy. The photographs in this book are wonderful. And the fact that many of these ballparks no longer exist makes this book even more valuable. Am very happy to own it once again. This 1983 book was one of (or the) first to cover big league ballparks. The Sporting News authors provide a nice mix of narrative prose, artistic depictions, and authentic photographs - although I'd have liked even more photos. These pages teach ballpark history that in some cases dates back to the late 1800's. The photographs also starkly demonstrate the eye-pleasing character of several old ballparks (Shibe Park, Forbes Field, Sportsmans Park, etc.) and those sadly dull, multi-purpose stadiums that replaced them in the 1960-1970's. This book came out before baseball wisely began replacing those multi-purpose monstrosities with attractive, "retro" style ballparks beginning with Baltimore's Camden Yards in 1992. Also, at this writing baseball has added nearly 20 new ballparks (and four new teams) | IP | IP DS | 1,397,163 |

That was one of the strengths we felt like going into the season and right now we have three guys that are out. We will see about Rinehart. That may be the fourth guy out.

changed Dunedin, Wellington and Christchurch to Capital Value rating without any recourse by ratepayers. They also got rid of the 2% land tax on commercial land valued more than $160,000, at the behest of the Business Round Table. That is why the Dominion Breweries derelict site in Wellington could sit for ten years till it was sold to New World Supermarkets for a speculative gain. They paid minimum rates under Capital Value rating, and didn't have the 2% land tax to put a bomb under them so the site could be sold as quickly as possible to someone who could build on the site. I hope that you will have a revue of Land taxes versus Capital Gains taxes and see that land taxes are better in all respects. | SP | SP FS | 3,868,616 |

Serwer : Who was the greater genius, Sam Walton or Steve Jobs? Huey : Genius? Steve Jobs. Isaacson : "Genius" is a word thrown around pretty loosely and shouldn't be, but if it applies to anybody, it applies to Steve Jobs. He actually wasn't the smartest person in the digital revolution. Bill Gates had more conventional mental-processing power than Steve did in terms of analyzing information and data. But Steve Jobs had an intuitive genius, and that genius comes not just from being smart but from being imaginative and creative. And making leaps that come from thinking differently .

the present day Red Sea, south of Israel. It should be pointed out that those mountains are mirrored by another range of mountains on the western side of the Red Sea. The Red Sea is a tectonic spreading zone (red) and part of the Great Rift system that runs from northward in Turkey, down through the Dead Sea, down through the Red Sea, and southward deep into the African continent. Obviously, when that mountain range was split by the Rift the source waters of the proposed Pishon [sic] river dried up. But this proposed river path may be somewhat of a "red-herring" because it does not seem to naturally "fit" the overall pattern. An even better fit may be for the river to have flowed down what today is the Gulf of Aden south of present day Yemen (southern tip of Arabia). Yemen has both gold and onyx and the eastward trending fault branch from the Afar triangle would have been a natural riverbed in the days prior to Noah's flood (when sea levels were lower than today). If this was indeed the Pison river, one of four that flowed out of the main one rising in the Garden of Eden, it does not correspond with the present-day headwater source of the Euphrates or Tigris up in Turkey. What's more, the geography of the last remaining river, the Gihon, further complicates the problem.

with an interest rate of 11.5%, and $25,000 in student loans with an interest rate of 5%. You would want to pay the minimum on your low interest rate debts, and apply the bulk of your $250 to the highest interest rate, in this case, your 19.5% store credit card, despite the fact that the actual cost of the student loan interest is highest. Also, consider that if you are already paying a minimum payment of $50 on that high interest card, if you start sending $300 per month (the minimum you are already paying plus your debt paydown figure), once it is paid off, then you will have increased your debt paydown figure. The next creditor can get the amount they are already getting plus the $300. Each debt gets easier to pay off than the last. 8 Wash, rinse, repeat . Just kidding, but you get the idea. This process gets easier. Once you've figured out your spending and what debts you owe, keeping it up gets easier and easier. You'll refine your budget over time, increase the amount of money you can pay yourself (see tip below) and the amount you can put toward debt. Continue to pay off each debt in your priority list. As you pay off convenience cards and high interest credit cards, call those credit card companies and cancel those accounts. 9 Don't give up .

I'm sure there are others out there who have discovered these endings but I'm very curious to know whether any were found at the events the game was showcased at. HM: I think that wraps it up. Let us know in the comments if you've had an experience with At A Distance and how it went. Gregg and I want to know. Left brain disconnected. Yeah it was a lot of fun.

Under the current proposed plan people will even get penalized for their religious beliefs since we will get "fined" if we don't get insurance. What about my co-worker who is a Christian Scientist? While I don't agree with her beliefs, why should she be forced to pay for insurance she will never use because she doesn't believe in going to Doctors or Hospitals? We should just admit that what we have been doing, that put us number 37 in rankings of health care systems, isn't working. Typically the common sense thing to do is to look at systems that do a better job, see what works, and model a system after that.

the same as Elijah: he found God not in the mighty wind, the earthquake or the fire, but in the gentle breeze (I Kings 19. 9?14). Jesus comes to you and calls you in a way that never forces itself upon you. His voice reaches deep within you but leaves you totally free. You will hear that voice in the silence of your prayer, in the words of the Scriptures and in the words and lives of those around you. So often it is through a simple suggestion by another priest or someone else that the Lord first brings alive his call in a person's heart. 'Come and see' (John 1. 39) Jesus is with you where you are, at home, at work, college or school. It is there, in your ordinary daily life, that he will come to you. It is there that you must listen for his voice, and open yourself to whatever his call may be. If you ask Jesus, 'What do you want of me?' he will say 'Come and see'. It is vital that you spend time with him in prayer and reflection. Then you are more likely to hear his voice in whatever way he calls to you.

ones that grate and annoy, would fall into this category and for someone with AS should be strongly avoided. However, certain issues, such as for the reasons listed above, mean they must be addressed. Gauging exactly when the time is right will depend very much on the actual situation and the person involved and will often rest on intuition. The key requirement is to ensure that facts are fully available and are on your side. For someone with AS, facing down conflict becomes much easier when one is in possession of accurate facts, feeling certain that one has done nothing wrong or has exacerbated a situation and can resort to facts to substantiate an argument. * Act Immediately & Do Not Delay The AS tendency to innately avoid confrontation, combined with the desire to remain insular and not become directly involved with other people as far as possible, can mean that issues that need to be confronted are not only avoided but also delayed. The longer the delay, the harder it becomes to address an issue and the greater the potential damage which can be inflicted. If the issue is serious and needs addressing, the decision needs to be made, and the resolve needs to be apparent, to act. * Proper Preparation Proper and comprehensive preparation is essential is conflict or disagreement is to be effectively resolved.

the middle of war time this just annoyed the Japanese as it affected their war machine. But then America was found to be assisting Britain and China with arms while claiming neutrality in the war. This is technically illegal for a nation claiming neutrality during wartime. Regardless of all that America got in the war and continued to fund WW2 from both sides. Standard Oil New York was selling oil to the German war machine. The bombing of London could not have happened but for that fact. Those particular bombers required a certain patented oil that they could only get from Standard Oil New York. Then if you take a look at who the main man was at Standard Oil NY. None other than Prescott Bush. George dubbya's ol grand-daddy. Coincidence? Unlikely. You can see the same pattern in WW1, Vietnam and now the middle east. It's all money orientated. Bottom line, America wants the resources in Iraq and the surrounding region. They want a pipeline for gas that runs from Afghanistan to Iran. I believe they intend this pipeline to run all the way to Somalia, that's why you keep hearing about Somalian muslim rebels. Soon you will see the US go into Somalia but they are not there for the rebels, they are there to secure the pipeline. They will tell you it's about terrorists and your freedom but it isn't.

In the Plinkette review one of his major issues with the second film was they started it at a point where it made the whole first film irrelevant. We are then supposed to feel a deep bond between Anakin and Obi-Wan but we have never been shown them having a meaningful interaction as they skipped over Anakin's entire training. If they made a film in between The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars then we may actually build a bond with the two main characters by seeing them train and grow together. Instead all their chemistry is supposed to be assumed and we have to rely on Lucas' poor dialogue to get any sense that these people even like each other.

see his earlier incarnation as a follically blessed villain.) Improbable athleticism and hijinks of the individual matches aside--how exactly did that referee fail to spot that smuggled-in pair of nunchaku, anyway?--it's fascinating to watch the presentation evolve from relatively lo-fi affairs to full-on theatrical extravaganzas, to the point where the drama outside the ring often exceeds what's going on within the turnbuckles. By the time Sting shows up in the rafters dressed like The Crow with a bird of prey on his arm, the WCW engine has hit full glorious speed. Viewers not up on their grappling history may be confounded by the unexplained squabbles and hero-to-heel transformations that run throughout this compilation (the between-match segments featuring wrestling legend Dusty Rhodes are priceless in many different ways, but comprehensive isn't exactly one of them). Even without prior knowledge, however, the adrenaline rush presented by this set is tough to resist. Party discs don't come much finer. --Andrew Wright Product Description For close to a decade, professional wrestling fans loved Clash of the Champions, a series of supercards that aired on TBS, featuring the biggest stars of first NWA and the WCW. Over the course of 35 events from 1988 through 1997, fans were treated to championship contests, grudge matches, and spectacular moments. Many of these matches have never been released on home video until now.

2. Align with your organization's values (real or desired) . The structure, terminology, and tone of your intranet should be consistent with your organization's strategy and values. Don't underestimate the intranet's ability to reinforce your current culture, or even steer people toward the culture you aspire to have. You can also leverage these values to defend your decisions. When we implemented interactive environments (such as employee comments) on our intranet several years ago, some leaders expressed apprehension. When I responded by pointing to our stated values around shared commitment, high involvement, and collaboration, they recognized the alignment and their concerns were defused. 3. Have a clear purpose. If you don't know the purpose of your intranet, how can you tell if it's successful? We've developed a four-fold purpose for our intranet, which has endured since its inception more than 10 years ago: - Enhance employee productivity (help people do their jobs). - Reinforce corporate messages (to ensure that people are productive on the right things). - Provide a place for all to meet and share. - Have a personality (to provide comfort and encourage interaction). When deciding what to work on, or how to prioritize our work, we consult our four-fold purpose. 4. Place someone in charge. I've managed intranets from within Information Technology and Corporate Communications departments, and I've seen others managed out of Marketing, Human Resources, and Knowledge Management. I've witnessed debates over who should manage an intranet, and heard some call for an executive-level leader. My opinion: | HI | HI HT | 1,475,233 |

When creating the stream a message is shown for unpaired devices that the receiver must accept. I would like to be able to detect if he accepts / declines / does nothing. Right now I?m using timers to see if the "get stream" fails within a certain time. If it does I assume an active decline. If it fails after my test-period I do assume a time-out.

Exceptions thrown are no solid indication of the response. - Possibility to cancel send requests (or better: Get stream requests) if not acted upon within a certain period of time.

Certain people possibly think that home design in the house is quite pricey and cumbersome, this is not true provided that you are attentive. Having a mentality of believing that there is a lot to do and purchase for the property with regards to home design would put the majority of people off from at the very least trying. This is exactly why I have bought together various home design ideas which will help you understand more.

Have you ever noticed you feel more enthusiastic in the daytime because of the sunlight flowing through the windows? Natural light actually helps to enlighten your mood and in a natural way makes you feel a lot more radiant and jam packed with life, at night time you will undoubtedly feel significantly more stressed due to deficit of light. You could easily enhance your confidence by simply using synthetic lighting which will help to enhance light feelings and make your bedroom a great deal more cozy.

has the compassion to want what is best for that child. My daughters father decided he didnt want to be in her life anymore 2 years ago when she was 4. Not only did he leave me to pick up the emotional wreckage that was my daughters broken little heart but he left me to financially drain my savings and earnings forcing us to live on the bread line. I would not begrudge him not contributing if he was struggling to gain employment. But the fact is he works and he earns enough to support our child, so when he claims poverty it makes me furious to see on social networking sites that he went to every music festival this year, has had two holidays and bought a new car. He calls that poverty. I think anyone winging about paying to support your own child should think about what the resident parent has to deal with daily, not just monetary but emotionally too. i dont think you NRP realise how easy you get off with just paying 40%. Try having all your wages taken (which is effectively what happens to the resident parent), your life stripped away and dealing with the emotions of a confused child that doesnt understand why their NRP does not love them!

Should we have a Christmas Tree? Subscribe to our Question of the Week by entering your email address in the field below and clicking on "Subscribe." Question: "Should we have a Christmas Tree? Does the Christmas Tree have its origin in ancient pagan rituals?" Answer: The modern custom of a Christmas tree does not come from any form of paganism. There is no evidence of any pagan religion decorating a special holiday tree for their mid-winter festivals, although the Romans celebrated the winter solstice with a festival called Saturnalia in honor of Saturnus, the god of agriculture. They decorated their houses with greens and lights and exchanged gifts. Late in the Middle Ages, Germans and Scandinavians placed evergreen trees inside their homes or just outside their doors to show their hope in the forthcoming spring. The first Christmas tree was decorated by Protestant Christians in 16th-century Germany. Our modern Christmas tree evolved from these early German traditions, and the custom most likely came to the United States with Hessian troops during the American Revolution, or with German immigrants to Pennsylvania and Ohio. There is nothing in the Bible that either commands or prohibits Christmas trees. It has been falsely claimed by some that Jeremiah 10:1-16 prohibits the cutting down and decorating of trees in the same manner as we do at Christmas. However, even a cursory reading of the text makes it clear that the passage is one in which Jeremiah sets forth the prohibition against idols made of wood, | ID | ID QA | 719,233 |

Who are these reformers? David Frump? Sam Tanenhaus? Brooks does not say. He continued, "Moreover, the Reformers say, conservatives need to pay attention to the way the country has changed. Conservatives have to appeal more to Hispanics, independents and younger voters." And I kid thee not; "They cannot continue to insult the sensibilities of the educated class and the entire East and West Coasts."

in mind that, just because a margarine is high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, this doesn't mean it is low in total fat. It still contains fat, but it's just more of a less harmful type. People with diabetes need to watch their total fat intake, not just their intake of 'bad' fats. To sum up, eat less fat in general. When you do eat fat, pick products that are higher in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Choose fewer products that are high in saturated and trans fats. Restricting fat is not the only way to lower blood cholesterol. Eating more fibre can also help. Aim to eat 25 to 30 grams of fibre daily. Grain products, vegetables, fruits and some meat alternatives such as peas, lentils or beans are the best sources of dietary fibre. See the second chart on this page for some tips to help add fibre to your diet. Increase your intake of fibre slowly to minimize gastric discomfort, and be sure to drink more water as you eat more fibre. High-fibre Eating Tips Start your day with a low-fat breakfast cereal topped with fresh fruit such as apples or strawberries. Add dried fruit such as raisins, apricots or cranberries to homemade muffins or cookies. Reading food labels and making healthy choices can be difficult.

will have limited success. Given the criteria just outlined, it is clear that not all beliefs will agree to submit. Not surprisingly, the tension between criteria one through four (unleashing belief) and caveat five (imposing conditions on belief), is regularly played out in the courts. In the ongoing battles of our vague, amorphous freedoms, the freedom enshrined in rights and equal rights regularly goes a few rounds with "freedom of belief." Those beliefs that refuse to aggregate in official and large-sized collectives (the World Class religions, or humanism as the official other) remain outside the compensations of the court. Those that refuse to acknowledge "modern" values are technically outside -- though sometimes, and maybe even often, compromises are made (by way of concession to the compulsion of belief). But even those religious beliefs deemed unworthy, on the grounds that they do not sufficiently coincide with Wrde , remain entirely inside the court's absolutely amorphous and unpredictable definition of belief.

you like, but here are the important points -- As we've discussed before, US government spending falls into three categories. Discretionary spending is what we normally think of as 'government.' It funds everything from the military to Homeland Security to the national parks. Mandatory spending covers all the major entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare. Then there's interest on the debt, which is so large they had to make it a special category. The latter two categories are spent automatically, just like your mortgage payment that gets sucked out of the bank account before you have a chance to spend it. The only thing Congress has a say over is Discretionary Spending. Hence the name. But here's the problem -- the US fiscal situation is so untenable that the government fails to collect enough tax revenue to cover mandatory spending and debt interest. In Fiscal Year 2011, for example, the US government spent $176 billion MORE on debt interest and mandatory spending than they generated in tax revenue. In Fiscal Year 2012, which just ended 6 weeks ago, that shortfall increased to $251 billion. This means that they could cut the ENTIRE discretionary budget and still be in the hole by $251 billion. This is why the Fiscal Cliff is irrelevant. The automatic cuts that are going to take place don't even begin to address the actual problem; they're cutting $110 billion from the discretionary budget... yet only $16.9 billion from the mandatory budget.

and some strict rules. But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross. Assayas : Speaking of bloody action movies, we were talking about South and Central America last time. The Jesuit priests arrived there with the gospel in one hand and a rifle in the other. Bono : I know, I know. Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

Discipline replacing discipleship. Why are you chuckling? Assayas : I was wondering if you said all of that to the Pope the day you met him.

Although there are some remnants of the loyal type in the Democratic party, the majority is of the rebelling type. What is the significance of this distinction? While the rebelling elite (and Obama is in this group if ever anyone was) do defend entrenched interests, they have something much larger and grander in mind and they use the promise of that vision to justify the use of force. I point to all of the totalitarian regimes, past and present, as a model in this regard.

( Hall 1980 , originally published as 'Encoding and Decoding in Television Discourse' in 1973), the British sociologist Stuart Hall proposed a model of mass communication which highlighted the importance of active interpretation within relevant codes. Justin Wren-Lewis insists that Hall's model, with its emphasis on coding and decoding as signifying practices, is 'above all, a semiological conception' (Wren-Lewis 1983, 179) . Hall rejected textual determinism, noting that 'decodings do not follow inevitably from encodings' (Hall 1980, 136) . In contrast to the earlier models, Hall thus gave a significant role to the 'decoder' as well as to the 'encoder'. Hall referred to various phases in the Encoding/Decoding model of communication as moments , a term which many other commentators have subsequently employed (frequently without explanation). John Corner offers his own definitions: the moment of the text : 'the... symbolic construction, arrangement and perhaps performance... The form and content of what is published or broadcast' ( ibid. , 267) ; and the moment of decoding : 'the moment of reception [or] consumption... by... the reader/hearer/viewer' which is regarded by most theorists as 'closer to a form of "construction"' than to 'the passivity... suggested by the term "reception"' ( ibid. ) . Hall himself referred to several 'linked but distinctive moments - production, circulation, distribution/consumption, reproduction' (Hall 1980, 128) as part of the 'circuit of communication' (a term which clearly signals the legacy of Saussure). Corner adds that the moment of encoding and that of decoding 'are socially contingent practices which | IN | IN RA | 405,739 |
Fearlessness in the Face of Uncertainty Teacher: Margaret Wheatley The whole globe is shook up, so what are you going to do when things are falling apart? You're either going to become more fundamentalist and try to hold things together, or you're going to forsake the old ambitions and goals and live life as an experiment, making it up as you go along. Pema Chdrn Meg Wheatley returns to Schumacher College to develop her work on the challenges of leadership in a chaotic age. Our current challenge -- as individuals, citizens and leaders, isn't the rapid pace of change. It's uncertainty -- not knowing what's next, what works, or where things are heading. As one healthcare executive commented about the future of her industry: "We don't know what we'll be doing, or who we'll be doing it with, or where we'll be doing it, or how we'll be doing it. But we do know that we'll be doing something." Few of us have been prepared to deal with this level of groundlessness. We learned the skills of certainty: we know how to set goals, create strategies, develop complex plans. We've been told that we can make the world work according to plan if we have clear intentions, a strong will, and good leadership skills. Now, these very skills create obstacles to our effectiveness. Our task now is to learn how to deal with uncertainty, not as a temporary state, but as a condition of life. How do we maintain our | IP | IP DS | 424,743 |
policy was intended in the shorter term to increase staffing levels in the junior school, to identify appropriate ways in which to allocate staff to schools at each phase, and to develop guidelines for schools about implementation of the policy. The longer term objective of the policy was to enhance learning and teaching. Implementation procedures included a restriction on the creation of new classrooms, and this led to some initial confusion among teachers and parents. NZCER's evaluation of the implementation of the 1:20 policy surveyed: how the policy was translated into practice, who made decisions about the use of additional staffing, and what teachers saw as outcomes of the policy. Staff in the schools generally supported the policy. The extra staffing provision was used, in part, to staff the Reading Recovery programme, implemented in 1982 to enhance the reading performance of children with learning difficulties in the area of literacy (for further details of this and related New Zealand research, see McDonald, Podmore, Renwick, Smith, Vize, & Wylie, 1989). . A review of teacher/pupil ratio was commissioned in 1991 to develop a policy for establishing teacher-pupil ratios in the future. The report on the review recommended that: "The continued implementation of the current 1:20 policy should be postponed" (p. 14) and further, the New Zealand State Services commission recommended that: "The current teacher/pupil ratios on which school staffing is based should be suspended" (p.18). The review drew on a range of research and policy documents. These included the NZCER junior | IN | IN RA | 1,768,574 |
year after year. I would be buying AFL cards if they made higher end cards and totally change there design of the cards. i like collecting sets but not when five years in a row they look exactly the same as each other. Select needs a big change scrap the same look and bring something new out like. resdesign every card that have so it looks different I didnt miss the point, all im saying is that if they do go high end eventually or make improvements to series 2, or whatever they decide to do they should still keep series 1 cheap for the kids/non high end collectors. I would love to see more game used and auto stuff in series 2, and wouldnt mind paying more as i said, but I'm not holding my breath. I doubt Select would change(i hope they do), im sure there would be plenty of people willing to pay 200-250 for a box which contains some game used or patch cards. As long as they dont over do too many game used ect, eg upperdeck/topps yer i agree with you there topps/ ud overdone game used stuff and like 20-30 products each. i think one of reasons they loss the contract. They made so much bb game used and autos stuff that it didn't make it rare to have one it was like every different pack they had had to have games used or something instead of keeping it too only two products | ID | ID DF | 3,325,329 |

the infant? What is so difficult about that? Your claim about entitlement to life is still begging the question, though, as is your claim that the paper attempts to justify unethical behaviour. Whether or not it's permissible is precisely the point the paper addresses. (And if it succeeds in justifying it, then that shows that it's justified -- and so what's the problem after all?) I still don't know what you're driving at with the potentiality point. I still don't buy your claims about euphemism or obfuscation. Whether or not the terminology was necessary or the best is one thing; but I don't think that anything was smuggled in: that an explanation of the term was offered is proof of that. I suspect that the chance of publication would have been just as high, though, just because the whole point of an ethics journal is to test moral propositions; and the idea that by doing so one is or could be an accessory to murder is simply nuts.

Living in the memory of a love that never was Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time. | LY | LY SL | 435,793 |

the logically reductionistic and and the larger organic whole as fairly seamless. We think of animals as simply reactive and incapable of abstract thinking, but all thought is abstraction. We just have more complex concepts to work with. Raw consciousness seems as integral to biology as gravity is to mass. Amoebae distinguish between beneficial and detrimental. It's not a higher order distinction. amrit, If there was a clear flaw in the argument that time emerges from motion, rather than being the basis for it, I think we would have had voices of authority devote a moment to two to make the case.

of course good times but as a growing teen I felt alone at times and angry at the world. Florence: I was twelve when I first read Jane Eyre . I tried Pride and Prejudice first and found Austen so dry that I gave up at the end of the first page, vowing never to open the book again (luckily, I have gone back on that vow multiple times since then!). We were living in Cape Town at the time, and I vividly recall the sunshine pouring into my bedroom and the way I leaned over and put P&P back on the shelf, with a small but decided plunk. For some peculiar reason, that is the image that has stayed with me, rather than the drum-roll moment when I first opened Jane Eyre . And there should have been a drum-roll! For I fell utterly, irremediably, head over heels in love with Jane and Rochester. It was the first time I met a heroine who was neither a princess nor the most beautiful girl in all the kingdom -- and yet, poor, obscure, and plain as Jane was, she was wonderful! So full of fire, and so unquenchable... She and Rochester are still my favourite literary couple. Qu. 3.)

Finding your love I've found my adventure, Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster, All that I want in all of this world is you.

That whole album is about my husband, and just about a long-distance relationship and long nights out and dancing on the dance floor and dating, all of that stuff. Of course, a lot of that album still has a little bit of tongue-in-cheek, because I was a little jaded at the time. It's like, "I love you, but let's not get too carried away. Love is for saps, really." "Sandcastles In The Sand" (from a 2008 episode of How I Met Your Mother ) T: They crimped my hair, let's start there.

Disney purchases Lucasfilm - Star Wars Episode VII to be released in 2015 I might be in the minority, but I don't want the original Star Wars actors in the films. I am kind of hoping they don't just jump to like 30 years after Return of the Jedi, and have old versions passing stuff down. I kind of hope they spent their time writing a good script, re-cast, and follow some of the book narratives and continue on soon after Return of the Jedi. It sucks to do, and maybe the actors can have a cameo, but I don't want an Indiana Jones IV, I want a real flick and not one that is meant to pass the series along to a new generation. I think Luke can make sense in an old mentor role like Obi-Wan from the OT. Ford is looking too old to play Solo anymore, best left as a passing mention. Fischer looks terrible, and I can't see Leia having an important role, nothing that would make sense for more than 10 minutes of screen time.

"You can't do that now. You can't wear lipstick. You can't dress like this. You can't change your hair color. You can't date boys." It was like all of a sudden the world was watching, but it was mainly the corporate world, the business side of it, and it was very frustrating, because my fans were changing; they were growing up. The girls were dressing more sexy; music was changing. Now I'm in a semi-pop dance world, and I'm singing a lot of ballads, which are beautiful, well-written songs, but that's not why people buy tickets to come and see me, and that's not how I came out of the box with people. So that's kind of where "New Inside" came from. I definitely wanted to write. I had changed management at that time, because I was saying, "It's time to grow up. It's time to be a little more edgy. It's time to be a little bit more tuned-in. If we're going to do dance music, then let's really do dance music. I come from a dancer's background. We're not even tapping into a lot of this stuff that would be a lot of fun for me, and I'm surrounded by a lot of great, talented people.

of the National Academy of Sciences. Each ecological group includes a set of species that share the same set of potential predators and prey. Silhouettes show iconic members of each group. Arrows show who eats whom. Credit: Courtesy of Jonathan Mitchell, Peter Roopnarine and Kenneth Angielczyk "Our analyses show that more species became extinct for a given plant die-off in the youngest communities," Mitchell said. "We can trace this difference in response to changes in a number of key ecological groups such as plant-eating dinosaurs like Triceratops and small mammals." The results of Mitchell and his colleagues paint a picture of late Cretaceous North America in which pre-extinction changes to food webs -- likely driven by a combination of environmental and biological factors -- results in communities that were more fragile when faced with large disturbances. The team's computer model describes all plausible diets for the animals under study. In one run, Tyrannosaurus might eat only Triceratops, while in another it eats only duck-billed dinosaurs, and in a third it might eat a more varied diet. This stems from the uncertainty regarding exactly what Cretaceous animals ate, but this uncertainty actually worked to the study's benefit. "Using modern food webs as guides, what we have discovered is that this uncertainty is far less important to understanding ecosystem functioning than is our general knowledge of the diets and the number of different species that would have had a particular diet," Angielczyk said.

requirements of the modern state than does the ambiguity of liberal religion." (p. 247) Fundamentalist religion, in short, was better suited to the exclusive tendencies of the modern nation state, and the hierarchical patterns of social life which conservative political elites sought to promote. This last point, then, gets to my central concern with the review: its dichotomous approach to religion and politics. Modern religious politics is not about tradition versus modernity, religion versus secularism or religious activists versus secular states. On the contrary, these categories obscure more than they reveal. Religious ideologies -- particularly their illiberal variant -- are thoroughly modern phenomenon. Moreover, modern states are hardly secular, and the nationalist narratives from which they derive their legitimacy are infused with religious imagery and symbolism. Moreover, as noted above, neither religion nor secularism is monolithic. Secularism can be alternately interpreted as neutrality in matters of religion or as hostility towards religion (and this changes over time). Similarly, religion is a multifaceted phenomenon that is interpreted -- and mobilized -- in different ways to achieve different ends. What I have sought to do in Religious Politics and Secular States is to captures this nuance, and provide a theoretical framework that accounts for the politicization of religion as well as its ambiguous nature. I have also sought to ground this theory in three in depth case studies. Unfortunately, the review fails to reflect this nuance, and appears to reject the central argument of the book not because the empirical data is | OP | OP LE | 1,424,435 |
