Maison DuBois Bed and Breakfast (B&B) finds these
links for the New Orleans area very useful.
All aboard for a trip into New Orleans' past. The Saint
Charles Ave street railway is the oldest operating streetcar line in
the world, carrying passengers through the streets of New Orleans since
1835. The mahogany seats, brass fittings and exposed ceiling light bulbs
are from a day when plastic seats and aluminum rails were not even a
thought. Rumbling around the ''neutral ground'' of St. Charles and Carrollton
avenues for more than 150 years, the streetcar symbolizes the charm
and romance of the City of New Orleans. When you come to New Orleans
you will have the opportunity to ride the streetcar on Canal Street
and St. Charles Avenue routes. And as of October these newly renovated
streetcars are scheduled to go all the way to Napoleon Avenue after
a temporary hiatus due to Katrina. Hip hip hoorah!!!!!

The Arise Youth Center in Rapid City is now home to a heart-centered mural created by youth involved in programs at the center.
The center of the mural, much like the focus of Arise Youth Center, is the heartbeat of youth. The idea of the mural came from a young client who also created the original heartbeat artwork. Local artist Daryl No Heart worked with this youth and 36 others to create the mural over the span of a month. It reflects not only the heartbeat of its creators, but also the focus of Arise Youth Center — to engage youth in the process of learning, growing and taking part in positive social structures.
Recently completed, the mural is an inspiration. Although the youth couldn’t sign their artwork to ensure their confidentiality, they could leave their artistic heartbeat. One young girl who returned to the center commented to the new contributors, “We can’t sign our names, but we can create something unique to us so we won’t ever forget we were here.”
“A mural is one of the easiest ways we are able to show youth that they matter to our program and that their suggestions and opinions matter,” says Staci Jonson, program director. “The process united groups of youth who were not at the center together and are likely never to meet. The mural met the original purpose and many goals that we could have never imagined.”
This mural was made possible by working with the Rapid City Arts Council and artist Daryl No Heart. Financial support was received from Amber Leasure, Brianna Myers, Rick and Connie Rathert, Pastor Jonathan Steiner and Atonement Lutheran in Rapid City, and Pastor Craig Wexler and Community Lutheran in Hill City. Together, we have a common mission of strengthening individuals, families and communities.

The exploitation and production of oil in the Niger-Delta have created some of the largest fortunes for the multinational companies and have helped to achieve impressive economic growth and development of the Nigeria state, but little or no attention has been directed by both the multinational companies and the Nigeria governments to the effects of such oil activities on the welfare of oil producing communities (Ikein, 1990).
Oil has not as expected brought prosperity, better living conditions and governmental attention and development; rather it has become a curse and impoverishes the inhabitants of the Niger-Delta region.
However a fight for their rights against the multinational companies and the Federal Government has resulted in large-scale violence, crisis, social tension, hostage taking, man slaughter, kidnapping and other social vices of the region. The aftermath of these vices, is the high degree of insecurity in the region, which has led to the withdrawal of major oil producing companies from the region. The low level of oil production as a result of insecurity of lives and property in the region has a strong negative impact on the Nigerian economy (Ikelegbe, 2008).
In their effort to bring the situation under control, the multinational companies, governments and other stakeholders have been clamouring for peace in the Niger-Delta region to boost economic development.
However the term peace is relative and the conditions for peace differ from one society or nation to another. However Ibeanue (2005) asserted that peace is a process involving activities that are linked to increasing development and reducing conflict. It is described as justice and development, respect and tolerance between people, wholeness and making whole, and the absence of war. Despite its relative nature, peace has a common denominator, i.e. the harmonious or friendly pursuit of individual and collective interest defined by rules of conduct or standard of behaviour. Thus, in this context, peace is described as a condition in which people live in agreement with accepted standards of conduct or rules of behaviour that promote public good and the happiness of every one.
Moreover, various strategies are being devised by the multinational companies and the government for the enthronement of pace in the Niger-Delta region of Nigeria. Multinational companies are spending so much money to hire security agents to protect their facilities and personnel from militant attacks. The government on the other hand is spending huge amount of money to maintain peace-keeping forces in the region.
In 2009, the Federal Government of Nigeria under the administration of President Umaru Musa Yar, Adua, granted amnesty to militants and these former militants are currently on the payroll of the government thereby reducing government current revenue. Akeem and Erhun (2010) posited that the recurrent expenditure of the Federal Government increases on a basis at an average of 12.69 due to security measures taken by governments to ensuring peace in the Niger-Delta region. It is upon this premise that this paper tends to investigate the impact of cost of peace-keeping in Niger-Delta region and the economic development of Nigeria

The Dashboard lets you see how your Mac is performing in real time to help you use your Mac better. Just check out the memory and processor sections to see what’s going on, and decide what you need — and scrap what you can.
And if you’d like a quick improvement to your Mac’s performance, just free up some RAM to help your Mac run more smoothly.
A healthy battery is dependant on its charge cycles. One charge cycle is a full depletion of your Mac’s battery. For example, if you have a fully charged Mac and use half of its battery one day, charge it, and use half of it again the next day, that counts as one cycle.
Different MacBooks have different cycle lifetimes, some 300, 500, or even 1000. Check your battery health with CleanMyMac 3 and stay up to date on your Mac battery.
If there’s ever a problem with your Mac, the Dashboard will help you diagnose it. It tells you when applications stop responding and alerts you to unusually heavy memory use, low SSD life, critical battery status, and high disk temperature. These alerts will pop up via the CleanMyMac Menu, but you can take a closer look at what’s up, and what to do about it, on the Dashboard.
With CleanMyMac 3, you’re always in the know when it comes to your Mac’s health.
Set your own schedule to keep your Mac as clean as can be. You know your Mac best, so set a schedule based on when your Mac needs cleaning — CleanMyMac 3 will remind you. Set it to:
|Smart Cleanup Complete Mac cleanup.||new Dashboard Real-time Mac performance.||new Health Mac health alerts.||System Junk Clean your system.|
|Uninstaller Remove applications entirely.||new Maintenance Optimize, repair and reindex.||Photo Junk Photos are gigabytes.||Large & Old Files Discover what’s wasting space.|

Introduction to Forces
A force can be a push or a pull.
You cannot see a force but often you can see what it does. When a force is exerted on an object, it can change the object’s:
Forces can be contact forces, where objects must touch each other to exert a force. Other forces are non-contact forces, where objects do not have to touch each other. These include:
- forces due to static electricity
The unit of force is called the newton, and it has the symbol N. The greater the force, the bigger the number, so 100 N is a greater force than 5 N.
Vectors and Scalers
A vector is something that has both size and direction. On the other hand a scaler is something that only has size.
When 2 or more forces are applied to a body, they combine to produce a single resultant force. The resultant force is the overall effect of all the forces acting together on a body.
Newton's First Law:
- An object with UNBALANCED forces will accelereate or decelerate.
- An object with BALANCED forces will either not move or keep moving at a constant speed.
Calculating Unbalanced Forces
An object may have several different forces acting on it, which can have different strengths and directions. But they can be added together to give the resultant force. This is a single force that has the same effect on the object as all the individual forces acting together.
If the resultant force is zero, a moving object will stay at the same speed. If there is no resultant force then a system is said to be in equilibrium.
If the resultant force is not zero, a moving object will speed up or slow down - depending on the direction of the resultant force:
- it will speed up if the resultant force is in the same direction as the object is moving
- it will slow down if the resultant force is in the opposite direction
FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION
A moving object has momentum. This is the tendency of the object to keep moving in the same direction. It is difficult to change the direction of movement of an object with a lot of momentum.
Notice that momentum does not just depend on the object’s mass and speed. Velocity is speed in a particular direction, so the momentum of an object also depends on the direction of travel. This means that the momentum of an object can change if:
- the object speeds up or slows down
- the object changes direction
MOMENTUM = MASS X VELOCITY
As long as no external forces are acting on the objects involved, the total momentum stays the same in explosions and collisions. We say that momentum is conserved. You can use this idea to work out the mass, velocity or momentum of an object in an explosion or collision.
Force and Momentum
FORCE = CHANGE IN MOMENTUM / TIME
To change the momentum of an object you can apply a small force over a long time, or a larger force over a shorter time. Changing the direction of an oil tanker at sea is difficult because a large change in momentum is needed, but the force from the propeller is only relatively small, so it takes a long time.
Car Safety Features
When there is a car crash, the car, its contents and the passengers decelerate rapidly. They experience great forces because of the change in momentum which can cause injuries. Modern cars have safety features that absorb kinetic energy in collisions. These typically include:
- seat belts
- air bags
- crumple zones
These features reduce injuries to the people in the car by absorbing energy from the impact. They increase the time taken for the change in momentum on the occupants' bodies, and so reduce the forces involved and any subsequent injuries. These features absorb energy when they change shape. This reduces injuries to the people in the car. They increase the time taken for the change in momentum on the occupants' bodies, and so reduce the forces involved and any subsequent injuries.

Digital cameras, cellphones and other portable devices make it easy to take photos. With just a few clicks, you can share a precious moment with friends and family halfway around the planet. But the new technologies also create new concerns, especially when it comes to printing those photographs.
To make it easier for you to share photos online, many cameras and computers come with software that compresses or shrinks the size of your digital images. This means your photos will upload and download faster but that’s because a lot of digital information has been sucked out of them. Although your photos may still look good on your computer screen, they will be grainy or pixelized if they are printed in a magazine. In order to look good in print, photos must be high resolution; the image file must be at least 1 MB in size.
If you would like to submit a photo for publication, you need to make sure it is large enough. Ensure the program you use is downloading your photos in their original size or do not use the program that came with your camera. Instead, learn how to treat the camera as an external device and copy-and-paste the image files to a folder of your choice. Then, if you decide to submit them by email, attach them directly to your message the way you would a text document.
First thing: Set your camera to take images which are at least 1 MB in size (3 MB is also fine). That will allow you to print an 8×11 version of the image. Unless you want to turn each photo you take into a poster, you don’t need a higher setting.
Second: Most cameras do a lot of things; get to know your camera. There are settings for a variety of light scenarios including nighttime, candlelight and snow. There are settings for portraits, landscapes and close-ups. Play with these—it’s digital, you can look at your various experiments on the computer and see which ones worked. And most digital cameras allow you to take a photo the old fashioned way, through a view-finder. This really is the best way to do it; it makes you focus on the shot. Holding a camera at arm’s length instead of steady by your eye means many photos can be out of focus or jiggly.
Third: Folks are often excited that they’re submitting a photograph and they don’t actually think about the photograph itself. You’re honouring a person who may have served your congregation for half a century. Make sure they’re in focus. Make sure they take up at least a third of the picture frame. Think about the shot—do we really need to see the floor and the table? These two elements comprise half the frame in the majority of People and Places submissions. If the floor and the table are the subject of the story, then by all means, include them. But if not, walk up to the person. Don’t be afraid of them. Walk right up to them and take a photo. Also, look at what’s behind them. Posters, brightly coloured walls, things hanging, etc., have a way of detracting from the subject.
Lastly: Remember, to chose which submissions appear in the magazine, all submissions go through a lottery process each month. Often that lottery has been easy; the majority of images we receive are not high enough quality to be professionally printed. They go straight to the website. Those remaining are picked randomly—four to six in the magazine. To ensure you have a shot at a spot in the magazine, follow the guidelines above.
Coda: Have fun! Serve God!

Companies in a wide variety of industries invest substantial capital in their inventories of returnable transport items or RTIs, the durable and reusable cartons, bins, pallets, wheeled trolleys, cages and other containers used to pack and move goods from site to site. Properly managed, RTIs can be a powerful tool to support efficient and sustainable supply chain practices, helping companies to free valuable capital and other resources by reducing the time and money spent to transport goods.
The challenge has been finding an effective way to track and manage RTI asset pools. Units are often used by nonowners with little accountability, so accurate manual audits can be neglected. Shrinkage can reach 25% annually as RTIs are damaged, lost, stockpiled or simply cycled inefficiently. That results in additional purchases and larger-than-optimal inventories just to avoid shortfalls and downtime.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) offers an affordable and efficient way to get the greatest value from RTI inventories. Picture this: At a busy bottling plant, cartons of soft drinks just off the line are being quickly loaded into the plastic RTIs that will carry them to a regional distribution center. As the product rolls through the loading dock and onto a truck, the RTI inventory report is automatically updated – recording not only how many units are headed out, but precisely which units they are, which truck will carry them and which distributor will receive them. Yet no one is carrying a clipboard. No one is counting. There are no forms to sign.

In the later 1960s, the fundamental role performed by T cells in antibody production was reported. possess all been unified as well as the molecule is currently referred to as IL-6. Because the breakthrough of IL-6, speedy progress continues to be manufactured in our knowledge of IL-6 actions, the IL-6 receptor program as well as the IL-6 indication PAC-1 transduction mechanism. Moreover, it’s been been shown to be involved in several diseases such as for example arthritis rheumatoid and Castleman’s disease. When considering all the gathered preliminary research on the many areas of this molecule, it made PAC-1 an appearance that blocking the experience of IL-6 was a feasible, fresh therapeutic strategy for chronic inflammatory illnesses. Introduction Relationships between T and B cells during antibody creation had been reported in 1968 [1,2], and it had been theorized that one substances are released from T cells and stimulate B cells to create antibodies. Activities that creates proliferation and differentiation of B cells had been seen in supernatants of cultured T cells. The substances in charge of these actions were subsequently found out by our group and termed B cell development elements and/or B cell differentiation elements. Table ?Desk11 summarizes the study that subsequently resulted in the characterization of elements mixed up in relationships between T and B cells.

Finding of interleukin-6 In 1986 among these elements was cloned and analyzed, which is now known as IL-6. This molecule possesses an array of actions, and for that reason laboratories used numerous different titles to make reference to it, based on their study interests. It’s been termed B cell stimulatory element-2 and was regarded as a book IFN (IFN-2), but research with recombinant IL-6 and anti-IL-6 antibody shown that IL-6 experienced no IFN activity . The molecule exhibited a solid stimulatory influence on development of murine plasmacytoma and individual myeloma , and was examined under the brands hybridoma plasmacytoma development aspect and hepatocyte rousing aspect, which induces severe stage reactions [6,7]. Furthermore, since it induces differentiation of myeloid precursors, it’s been known as macrophage granulocyte inducer type 2 . Furthermore, IL-6 plays an integral role in irritation, being the primary inducer of C-reactive proteins, fibrinogen and serum amyloid A proteins, and also other factors. The actions described above had been verified using IL-6 transgenic mouse versions, revealing massive arousal of plasma cells in the spleen and lymph nodes. Transgenic appearance of IL-6 in BALB/c mice induced monoclonal transplantable plasmacytoma, displaying that IL-6 features being a plasmacytoma/myeloma development aspect. A study executed within an IL-6 knockout mouse model uncovered that, weighed against outrageous type, the antiviral antibody response was inhibited by a lot more than 90% pursuing immunization using a vesicular stomatitis trojan. Within a parallel test turpentine shot induced strong irritation, PAC-1 but, once more, in the IL-6 knockout mice nearly 90% of the acute stage response was obstructed. These experiments concur that IL-6 features being a B cell stimulatory aspect to induce antibody creation so that as a hepatocyte stimulatory aspect to induce severe phase reactions. Aswell as the features defined above, IL-6 provides various other natural actions (exemplified by the many abbreviations used to spell it out IL-6). IL-6 is certainly a pleiotropic cytokine that affects antigen-specific immune replies PAC-1 and inflammatory reactions. It has additionally been proven to stimulate T cell development and cytotoxic T cell differentiation by augmenting IL-2 Rabbit Polyclonal to MAPKAPK2 receptor appearance and IL-2 creation . IL-6 also induces proliferation of thymocytes and most likely is important in the introduction of thymic T cells. In haematopoiesis, IL-6 works synergistically with IL-3 to aid the forming of multilineage blast cell colonies, looked after induces macrophage differentiation and megakaryocyte differentiation . IL-6 provides profound results on bone and will induce osteoclast differentiation and activation em in vitro /em . It looks involved with synovial PAC-1 inflammation.
Background Identifying related genes (orthologs) in various species can be an important part of genome-wide comparative analysis. For most studies, sun and rain under consideration will be the set of proteins coding genes. Consequently, the recognition of related genes between different varieties is an essential part of any genome-wide comparative evaluation. Specifically, one-to-one correspondences between genes in various species are desired BMS-777607 using applications such as for example transfer of function annotation and genome rearrangement research because they significantly simplify subsequent evaluation. Consider a group of extant genomes and their latest common ancestor (MRCA). For every gene within the MRCA, there’s for the most part one direct descendant from the gene in each one of the extant genomes. The direct descendants of the gene inside a set be formed from the MRCA of positional homologs . An individual ancestral gene may have multiple descendants because of gene duplication, or no descendants due to gene loss. In the entire case of gene duplication, we distinguish between your gene that continues to be in the initial location as well as the duplicate inserted right into a fresh area. The gene that keeps its ancestral area is the immediate BMS-777607 descendant. Positional homologs stand for a couple of genes in one-to-one correspondence with one another where each member greatest reflect the initial located area of the ancestral gene within the MRCA. Identical concepts within the books consist of exemplars , ancestral homologs , and primary orthologs . Orthologs are genes separated by way of a speciation event, while paralogs are genes separated by way of a duplication event. Orthologs and paralogs constitute the group of homologs together. Positional homologs certainly are a subset of orthologs. Shape ?Shape11 displays the gene tree for three genes within two genomes and it illustrates the idea of positional homologs, orthologs, and paralogs. Shape 1 Gene tree for three gene displaying the different varieties of homologs. The gene tree for three genes g, h, and h‘ that descended from an individual ancestral gene in the newest common ancestor (MRCA) of genome G and H. Gene g can be orthologous to both BMS-777607 h and … The issue of locating the group of positional homologs between two genomes is recognized as the ORTHOLOG Task issue . Current options for the ORTHOLOG Task problem belong to three classes: range minimization, similarity maximization, and rule-based. Range minimization strategies depends on the parsimony rule. They believe that removing all of the genes aside from the positional homologs minimizes the genomic range (usually some type of edit range with genomic procedures) between two genomes. Genomic range measures like the reversal range and breakpoint range have already been considered utilizing a branch-and-bound strategy because the related computational complications are NP-hard . MSOAR2 runs on the amount of heuristic algorithms to assign positional homolog pairs in a number of phases to reduce the amount of reversals, translocations, fusions, fissions, and gene duplications between two genomes. Linked to distance minimization will be the similarity maximization approaches Closely. By determining conserved constructions between genomes, we are able to determine the similarity between them. We are able to model the ORTHOLOG Task problem as locating the group of positional homologs that increase the amount of similarity between two genomes. Bourque et al. uses heuristics for the MAX-SAT issue to maximize the amount of common or conserved intervals. The nagging issue of maximizing the quantity conserved intervals is NP-hard . Blin et al. suggested a greedy technique predicated on algorithms for global positioning that first discovers a couple of anchors and recursively match genes within huge common intervals. All the preceding methods require a pre-processing stage BMS-777607 to compute gene family members. That is typically achieved using series similarity search accompanied by clustering of identical genes . From then on, series similarity is decreased to a straightforward binary connection essentially; two genes will be the equivalent if they’re within the same gene family members and different in any other case. The main stage uses heuristics to discover a subset Rabbit Polyclonal to MAPKAPK2 of genes that optimizes an NP-hard issue on gene purchases. In a nutshell, the preceding strategies use series similarity to develop gene family members and gene purchase information to help expand refine the gene family members to obtain one-to-one gene matchings. On the other hand, rule-based strategies need not build gene family members. A used way for locating pairwise broadly.

NEW DELHI (TIP): With regulation on pollution from automobiles getting stringent world over, carmakers finally moving towards electrics, but not in a hurry.
Companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volvo plan to start off with eco-friendly models of vehicles in their portfolio.
On Wednesday, Swedish carmaker Volvo launched India’s first plug-in hybrid SUV, XC90 T8 Excellence. On full charge, the car can cruise for 40km without consuming a drop of fuel.
“Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world, and so there is a need for a plug-in hybrid car,” said Tom von Bonsdorff, managing director of Volvo India.
To be sure this not an all-electric vehicles. Volvo will continue to have internal combustion gasoline engines alongside battery linked engines, before India builds enough charging stations. The all-electric cars run for only 100-150km.
Moreover, the technology is not cheap. And apart from the 7.5% rebate on value added tax in Delhi, the government does not give a subsidy on electric vehicles. In Europe, owing to subsidy, electric cars cost the same or even less than gasoline models. That’s another reason why electric technology will first come to luxury cars. The price of a mid-size sedan (with an average price of ?10 lakh) becomes costlier by nearly 50% with electric technology. The same differential is 6-12% of a luxury car’s value.
“Next-generation technology is first introduced in high-end cars… Thereafter, the adoption happens faster in the mass market,” said Wilfried Aulbur, India head of consulting firm Roland Berger that is headquartered in Munich.
Volvo aims to sell a million electrified cars by 2025. The Centre, too, aims to get everyone to buy an electric car by 2030.
German luxury car brand Audi is looking at a whole range of electric vehicles for India. “Some strategic models will come first. But it is unlikely that all models will have an electric vehicle,” said Joe King, head of Audi India. “But a lot of work needs to be done before we finally bring in the cars.”
Nissan, Japanese auto major, will launch the Xtrail in October. “Some countries in northern Europe and in some states in the US, electric cars are working well, because the governments are giving subsidy,” said Guillaume Sicard, president of Nissan India.
Mercedes-Benz, which is also working on a portfolio of electric cars, too, is studying the market but is waiting for the infrastructure to come up.
As far as King is concerned, “In the next 10 years, Audi’s electric car portfolio will grow rapidly,” he said.

1. Nephrons are the chief excreatory organs present in kidneys in our Body
2. Within nephrons they contain a bunch of blood capillaries known as glomerulus, PCT, loop of henle, DCT within it.
3. These glomerulous contain small pores which separates the blood from impurities and send the impurities to PCT
4. PCT takes the useful minerals from those impurities (selective reabsorption) and send the remain material to DCT through loop of henle.
5. At last DCT absorbs useful salts, water etc from the remaining material and sent the waste material to ureter.
6. Thus, waste materials are went out of the body with the help of Nephrons

- Ladies and London Poverty, 1860-1920
Beskrivelse: Late-nineteenth-century Britain saw the privileged classes forsake society balls and gatherings to turn their considerable resources to investigating and relieving poverty. By the 1890s at least half a million women were involved in philanthropy, particularly in London. Slum Travelers, edited, annotated, and with a superb introduction by Ellen Ross, collects a fascinating array of the writings of these 'lady explorers,' who were active in the east, south, and central London slums from around 1870 until the end of World War I. Contributors range from the well known, including Annie Besant, Sylvia Pankhurst, and Beatrice Webb (then Potter), to the obscure. The collection reclaims an important group of writers whose representations of urban poverty have been eclipsed by better-known male authors such as Charles Dickens and Jack London.

According to a new study, women who are affected by symptoms of pre-menstrual sydrome (PMS) could face a 40 percent greater risk of developing hypertension compared to those who aren’t.
The study, made by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Harvard School of Public Health and called ‘Nurses Health Study II’, investigated 1,257 women with PMS and 2,463 women with light menstrual symptoms between 1991 and 2005.
Premenstrual syndrome has a wide variety of symptoms, including mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression. It’s estimated that as many as three of every four menstruating women have experienced some form of premenstrual syndrome, as Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit medical research group, wrote on their official webpage.
The results show that women with meaningful PMS symptoms had a 1.4 danger ratio for hypertension. Even when researchers gave oral contraceptives and antidepressants to women who participated in the study, their risk of getting hypertension did not change.
“To my knowledge, this is the first large long-term study to suggest that PMS may be related to risk of chronic health conditions in later life. These results suggest that PMS might be associated with future development of hypertension and that this risk may be modifiable,” said Dr. Elizabeth Bertone-Johnson from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who lead the study.
The study’s author said women with premenstrual syndrome should be screened for adverse changes in blood pressure and future risk of hypertension. According to the study, they found an association between women who had a high intake of thiamine and riboflavin and a lower risk of hypertension.
Thiamine and riboflavin are part of the vitamin B complex group. Women who took vitamin B had a 25 to 30 percent lower risk of having PMS. So, it is possible that women might reduce their menstrual symptoms and hypertension risk by increasing their vitamin B intake.
Authors controlled and studied recognized hypertension causes like body mass index, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, postmenopausal hormone use, familial history of hypertension and use of oral contraceptives. Risks of getting high blood pressure still remained.
Researchers also found that risks were more likely to be increased before the age of 40. Food such as oysters, beef, fish, fortified cereals, skim milk, cheese and eggs are rich sources of vitamin B, which is also used for boosting mood, energy, concentration and the immune system, as WebMD wrote on their webpage.

The high cost-of-living in Ireland as a driver to leave Irish shores was repeatedly mentioned in our analysis of 48 blogs written by Irish people living all over the world. Housing and healthcare were highlighted, but also the costs of public transport, education and childcare.
Other reasons to emigrate were for better employment and educational opportunities overseas. The fear of missing out (FOMO) is also a driver, with Irish people who don't want to miss out on home ownership, or employment and education opportunities moving abroad.
The personal blogs showcased that many Irish are moving overseas to take up opportunities which were simply not available in Ireland and for a better quality of life and lower cost of living. The more reasonable cost of living abroad in comparison to the excessive rents at home, specifically in Dublin (if one is lucky enough to find somewhere to rent or buy within their price range), is too attractive to ignore. Being able to rent an apartment in a city overseas for less than what they would pay for a room in student accommodation or shared accommodation in Ireland is a definite plus.
Besides the affordability concerns of living in Ireland, the opportunities on offer overseas were also evident. Scholarships for PhD students abroad were mentioned as a pull to move overseas given the lack of these in Ireland. Those opting to take up full PhD scholarships in other countries are doing so rather than be financially unsupported PhD candidates or on scholarships valued at less than the minimum living wage in Ireland. Fear of missing out is evident here too, with people looking beyond Ireland as to what is available elsewhere.
The healthcare on offer abroad also motivates emigrants to stay abroad in terms of both quality and cost, with Canada and Australia mentioned as far superior to the Irish situation. There are also considerable differences in terms of childcare costs: creches in Mallorca are cited as only costing around €400 to €500 per month. Similarly, many Irish are impressed by the quality and affordability of public transport in other countries, with easy access to work, education, and home, while also reducing commuter-time hell. For instance, a monthly public transport ticket in Lyon costs €25 for under-26s.
But FOMO also pulls Irish emigrants back home. Family and friends in Ireland remain an important part of an Irish migrant's life long after leaving and come top of the list of things most missed by the Irish diaspora. While some may not move back to Ireland, geographical proximity to the homeland is a draw to facilitate more cost effective and frequent visits to enjoy special family occasions.
Being unable to help family and friends at home due to being away provokes guilt. Living abroad means difficulties associated with travelling home for funerals, births, weddings and other important milestones. This is the case in places such as Australia due to distance.
This is amplified when the emigrants have children and want their children to have a good relationship with their grandparents and cousins. Living abroad has meant family members have missed seeing their family grow up. Parent bloggers were upset that their children had not seen their grandparents in a long time, or, in some cases, ever. In some blogs, family was mentioned as the only reason the emigrants would return to Ireland: missing out on nearby family support is sorely felt, drawing some emigrants home despite the better quality of life abroad.
This was worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic where some bloggers living abroad shared their constant worrying about their family in Ireland getting sick or dying due to Covid. It highlighted how important family is and how fragile life as we know it can be. While social media allows regular contact between migrants and home, the inability to return for visits during the Covid-19 lockdowns left a lasting mark on many.
The physical distance between the Irish diaspora and Ireland was heightened in the Covid-19 era, with some emigrants unable to travel home to Ireland to visit sick family members due to restrictions on re-entry to their host country afterwards. Watching funerals over Skype from thousands of miles away was described as the worst thing in the world. Fear of missing out on and actually missing out on those last moments with their loved ones continues to haunt many.
To compensate for missing family and friends at home, many emigrants get to know the Irish community in whichever country or city they are in. Many of them even take on active community roles to deepen their cultural ties albeit from afar, for instance, by becoming members of the GAA in their area. Families back home can witness important moments in the emigrants' lives through WhatsApp or Skype, but it does not compensate for the real lived moments of togetherness, celebrating key moments or supporting each other in grief.

For some nerds, fandom starts at home, passed through the generations. But not everyone is so lucky to be nerds raised by nerds in nerd-positive atmospheres. For those who need a third space to get their geek on where someone understands them, the library is a sanctuary.
New York Comic Con is all about nerd culture, and that includes the pace where free books still reign: The Library. NYCC has practically taken over the New York Public Library on 5th Ave as part of this year’s convention. The panel “Welcome To The Nerd Palace” discussed how incredibly important the library is to young, developing nerds. It featured moderator Ben Perry and panelists Bianca Hezekiah, Yosenex Orengo, and Rakisha Kearns-White, all who came from the Brooklyn Public Library, and had more than a few ideas how to make nerds feel welcome in their space.
From hitting up loner kids to carefully targeting those who use the library as a safe spot to play games like Magic: The Gathering, all three agreed the key was authenticity. Teens can smell inauthentic nerd-adults right away. It’s better to admit you don’t know what they’re into and have them tell you than to try and fake it.
It’s also about having what the kids want to obsess on. The fandoms these librarians were into ranged from Supernatural to video gaming to the NFL. (Yes, really, sports nerds count!) Judging these kids for what they are into is part of what the NYPL programs are trying to combat because one never knows where curiosity could lead. As Kearns-White pointed out, reading Manga can lead to learning about Japanese culture, or taking Japanese language courses, or even moving there. For kids whose parents can’t open up the worlds to them, these are the pathways to knocking down walls of what is and is not possible.
All of them also emphasized the digital divide is still real. Having the dead tree copies of comic series on the shelves can be the difference between a kid discovering a lifelong love of reading and never knowing something exists. As for parents who think comics aren’t “real reading,” remind them that a comic book has the word “BOOK” in it for a reason. It has two covers and pages in between covered in words. Lessons parents assume can only be imparted by “great literary classics” sometimes hit better in a format today’s kids find more accessible.
Speaking of gatekeeping, it’s not only parents who assume some forms of reading are better than others. Kids themselves can lapse into toxic aspects of fandom, judging their fellow nerds for not having read this and that. This is where being in a library can dispel such behavior. After all, the library is a place everyone comes to learn. Don’t judge, teach.
These library programs can create a real sense of community for kids who might otherwise feel alone in their love of the niche or the nerdy. And that is why treating the library as the free Nerd Palace for all kids is one of the most important things parents, teachers, and fellow librarians can do.
Editor’s Note: The original version of this piece incorrectly reported that the panelists hailed from the Brooklyn branch of the NYPL; it has since been corrected.

Baby boomers have destroyed every cultural institution in America they have touched: marriage, family, public education, government, financial markets, healthcare, and more, say some critics, whose views may be supported by a Personality and Social Psychology Review study.
“Many argue that one of the most tragic legacies of the baby boomer generation is its narcissistic offspring who now dominate high schools, college campuses, and the world of 20-somethings,” writes Anthony Bradley in World magazine. “Children of boomers, who tend to have been raised under the delusion that the world revolves around them, have recorded the lowest rates of measured empathy in American history, according to new research.
“This is not the typical generational angst over youth coming of age; there is something quantifiable and different about the children of baby boomers. Paul Anderson and Sara Konrath, both professors at the University of Michigan, report “that American college students have been scoring lower and lower on a standardized empathy test over the past three decades.” They add:
“In fact, a research paper published in May in Personality and Social Psychology Review shows that since 1980, scores have dropped 34 percent on ‘perspective taking’ (the ability to imagine others’ points of view) and 48 percent on ‘empathic concern” (the tendency to feel and respond to others’ emotions). The standardized empathy questionnaire included questions like, ‘I often have tender, concerned feelings for people less fortunate than me,’ or ‘I sometimes try to understand my friends better by imagining how things look from their perspective.’”

Medusa Quartz is also known as and sometimes sold as Paraiba quartz because the small deposit was found in the Paraiba state of Brazil.
THIS STONE SIZE IS 14X 10X 4 MM
This new type of included quartz gemstone was discovered in August 2004 in Brazil.It is very rare and in very limited supply.
GIA has an article in Gems & Gemology, called "Medusa Quartz" with gilalite inclusions in the Fall 2005, Volume 41, issue 3.
Under magnification, some resemble the shape of a floating jellyfish named medusas rondeau. Thus the name Medusa quartz. This is 100% natural from the earth and indentification of the inclusions were performed by the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
Why so dear??? The reason is that the parabia crystals can be taken out of the quartz by being smashed open.The tiny crystals which may need over 100 to make one carat are very valuable and in demand for cutting and settin

As seen in Martin’s recent museum show, Someday We Can, at the Albright Knox Gallery in Buffalo, New York, she has developed power in simple linework. In what often appears to be one continuous line, and often “performed” in front of an audience or museum-goers, becomes a metaphor for the continuous and often unseen connections that people share in their everyday lives. And in this, it makes sense that Martin sees her work as developing new connections between philosophy and technology. It is also clear that her idea that art is more than an object of admiration disconnected from the process of its inception connects to her ability to make her work a site-specific performative action. Allowing the viewer to interact with the work in real-time, to see ideas develop and evolve. This simple act of allowing the viewer in, makes Martin’s recurring question, “Who Are You?”, resonate even stronger. “Asking that question, we, as creative people, are able to explore that a little bit more than perhaps other people by self exploration, or by creating art, or by doing something spontaneously,” Martin said in a recent interview.
“A little bit of my goal by doing what I do quite naturally is to find the word and the vocabulary of who we are at the core, as people. We can describe what we do, where we’re from, the roles we play: teachers, mothers, fathers, cousins, sons, daughters. When answering the question, ‘Please tell me who you are,’ without providing any of those things—it’s baffling to me every time. As traveled, educated, amazing human beings, we don’t really have that vocabulary to describe who we are at the core, and that troubles me a little bit. Exploring these words within my work, maybe I can start to find out what some of these words, vocabulary or phrases are. “The title of the show, "Charge Your Self" is about taking time for yourself,” Shantell continues, “and about making sure that the input has good intentions, that you’re doing what you love, and how what you do will give you energy.”

The quality of cars that Toyota produces cannot be regarded as anything but the best. They offer Indian citizens everything from mid-range cars such as (Toyota Vios) to luxury cars such as (the Toyota Land Cruiser). Whichever car that you pick, remember that you must protect yourself from the financial damage that may occur due to various factors once you take it out of the showroom. This is where car insurance can be a Godsend. Insuring your car can save you a lot of trouble and money, but how will pick one from all the available ones in the market? Research! It is most important to familiarize yourself with all the available Car Insurance out there before comparing them and picking the one that suits your needs and budget best.

- You can opt for a personal accident cover for passengers and third party legal liability.
- A Comprehensive Car Insurance policy will ensure that your car will be financially protected from any loss or damage which may happen to it in the period of your ownership such as:
- Natural Calamities: explosion, Fire, self-ignition, rockslide, hailstorm, inundation, flood, lightning, earthquake, typhoon, hurricane, storm, tempest, cyclone, frost, landslide etc.
- Man-made Calamities: Burglary, terrorist activity, malicious act, theft, riot, strike, and accident by external means as well as any damage caused to your vehicle while in transit by road, rail, inland waterway, lift, elevator or air. Road side assistance:

News About Toyota Car Insurance
A pact between Toyota and Suzuki likely as work with Daihatsu begins
Toyota has already made headlines when they joined hands with Japan’s oldest car manufacturers Daihatsu in a bid to roll out compact cars under their alliance to penetrate into the working class of communities around the world. With Maruti-Suzuki already establishing themselves as the kings of small-cars in India, having a credibility like no other car manufacturer in the country, it’s most likely that Toyota’s next step will be to form an alliance with the small-car giants. Just last week Toyota announced that they will be sharing R&D with Suzuki, launching speculations that Toyota is all set to join hands with Suzuki to make an impact in the small-car market. Though these are speculations, experts feel that this is the way forward for Toyota and they’re most likely going to make an announcement of a pact sooner than one would expect.

Smaller Cars to Help Toyota Grow its Indian Automobile Market Share.
Toyota is looking to improve its market share in India through its smaller segment cars in 2016. Since Indians have always prefered smaller cars, Toyota is targeting this segment to strengthen its foothold amongst competitors. As a first step, Toyota will be completely revamping the Etios car models. Toyota will be acquiring Daihatsu by mid 2016, which will eventually help the car manufacturer to grow its portfolio of small cars, thereby increasing its market share. With more and more cars on the road, the safest option for any car owner is to procure a motor insurance policy for his vehicle and stay protected against damages or losses.
4th April 2016
Toyota to Introduce Daihatsu to India
Toyota has a stake of 51.2% presently in the Japanese car company Daihatsu. By next year, Toyota will fully acquire the company which banks heavily on small cars. This move will enable Toyota to become more competitive globally. For both companies, the acquisition will allow them to pool in their resources and take full advantage of each other’s strengths as a single entity. As per Toyota’s plans, they should be able to bring the Daihatsu brand to India by 2018-19. It will mark their entry into the small car segment of the Indian market and will compete with brands like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata Motors.
Daihatsu offers cars such as the Ayla, Bee, Copen, Cuore and Mira but it is unsure which cars will make it to the Indian market. Car insurance companies will have a larger market to cater to with the entry of Datsun by Nissan-Renault, Kia by Hyundai and Daihatsu by Toyota.

Special fields of psychology → Курсова робота
How the conditions for satisfaction are to be brought about is the task of the second system, the ego, which is the domain of such functions as perception, thinking, and motor control that can accurately assess environmental conditions. In order to fulfill its function of adaptation, or reality testing, the ego must be capable of enforcing the postponement of satisfaction of the instinctual impulses originating in the id. To defend itself against unacceptable impulses, the ego develops specific psychic means, known as defense mechanisms. These include repression, the exclusion of impulses from conscious awareness; projection, the process of ascribing to others one\'s own unacknowledged desires; and reaction formation, the establishment of a pattern of behavior directly opposed to a strong unconscious need. Such defense mechanisms are put into operation whenever anxiety signals a danger that the original unacceptable impulses may reemerge.
An id impulse becomes unacceptable, not only as a result of a temporary need for postponing its satisfaction until suitable reality conditions can be found, but more often because of a prohibition imposed on the individual by others, originally the parents. The totality of these demands and prohibitions constitutes the major content of the third system, the superego, the function of which is to control the ego in accordance with the internalized standards of parental figures. If the demands of the superego are not fulfilled, the person may feel shame or guilt. Because the superego, in Freudian theory, originates in the struggle to overcome the Oedipal conflict, it has a power akin to an instinctual drive, is in part unconscious, and can give rise to feelings of guilt not justified by any conscious transgression. The ego, having to mediate among the demands of the id, the superego, and the outside world, may not be strong enough to reconcile these conflicting forces. The more the ego is impeded in its development because of being enmeshed in its earlier conflicts, called fixations or complexes, or the more it reverts to earlier satisfactions and archaic modes of functioning, known as regression, the greater is the likelihood of succumbing to these pressures. Unable to function normally, it can maintain its limited control and integrity only at the price of symptom formation, in which the tensions are expressed in neurotic symptoms.
A cornerstone of modern psychoanalytic theory and practice is the concept of anxiety, which institutes appropriate mechanisms of defense against certain danger situations. These danger situations, as described by Freud, are the fear of abandonment by or the loss of the loved one (the object), the risk of losing the object\'s love, the danger of retaliation and punishment, and, finally, the hazard of reproach by the superego. Thus, symptom formation, character and impulse disorders, and perversions, as well as sublimations, represent compromise formations—different forms of an adaptive integration that the ego tries to achieve through more or less successfully reconciling the different conflicting forces in the mind.
Various psychoanalytic schools have adopted other names for their doctrines to indicate deviations from Freudian theory.
Carl Gustav Jung, one of the earliest pupils of Freud, eventually created a school that he preferred to call analytical psychology. Like Freud, Jung used the concept of the libido; however, to him it meant not only sexual drives, but a composite of all creative instincts and impulses and the entire motivating force of human conduct. According to his theories, the unconscious is composed of two parts; the personal unconscious, which contains the results of the individual\'s entire experience, and the collective unconscious, the reservoir of the experience of the human race. In the collective unconscious exist a number of primordial images, or archetypes, common to all individuals of a given country or historical era. Archetypes take the form of bits of intuitive knowledge or apprehension and normally exist only in the collective unconscious of the individual. When the conscious mind contains no images, however, as in sleep, or when the consciousness is caught off guard, the archetypes commence to function. Archetypes are primitive modes of thought and tend to personify natural processes in terms of such mythological concepts as good and evil spirits, fairies, and dragons. The mother and the father also serve as prominent archetypes.
An important concept in Jung\'s theory is the existence of two basically different types of personality, mental attitude, and function. When the libido and the individual\'s general interest are turned outward toward people and objects of the external world, he or she is said to be extroverted. When the reverse is true, and libido and interest are centered on the individual, he or she is said to be introverted. In a completely normal individual these two tendencies alternate, neither dominating, but usually the libido is directed mainly in one direction or the other; as a result, two personality types are recognizable.
Jung rejected Freud\'s distinction between the ego and superego and recognized a portion of the personality, somewhat similar to the superego, that he called the persona. The persona consists of what a person appears to be to others, in contrast to what he or she actually is. The persona is the role the individual chooses to play in life, the total impression he or she wishes to make on the outside world.
Alfred Adler, another of Freud\'s pupils, differed from both Freud and Jung in stressing that the motivating force in human life is the sense of inferiority, which begins as soon as an infant is able to comprehend the existence of other people who are better able to care for themselves and cope with their environment. From the moment the feeling of inferiority is established, the child strives to overcome it. Because inferiority is intolerable, the compensatory mechanisms set up by the mind may get out of hand, resulting in self-centered neurotic attitudes, overcompensations, and a retreat from the real world and its problems.
Adler laid particular stress on inferiority feelings arising from what he regarded as the three most important relationships: those between the individual and work, friends, and loved ones. The avoidance of inferiority feelings in these relationships leads the individual to adopt a life goal that is often not realistic and frequently is expressed as an unreasoning will to power and dominance, leading to every type of antisocial behavior from bullying and boasting to political tyranny. Adler believed that analysis can foster a sane and rational \"community feeling\" that is constructive rather than destructive.

The term vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) was introduced to facilitate the spatial management of deep-seas, identifying those habitats vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbance, such as trawling. Consistent interpretation of the VME definition has been hampered by an underlying paucity of knowledge about the nature and distribution of deep-sea habitats. Photographic and video platforms yield data rich, quantifiable imagery to address these knowledge gaps. A low-cost towed benthic video sled has been used to investigate deep-sea habitats and trawling impacts in west Greenland. A review of imagery from multiple cruises highlighted an area where benthic megafauna contributes to notable structural complexity on the continental slope of the Toqqusaq Bank. Quantitative analysis of imagery from this area provides the first description of a soft coral garden habitat and other communities. The coral garden and observed densities are considered in relation to the VME guidelines (FAO, 2009) and wider literature. The study proposes a 486 km2 area spanning ∼60 km of continental slope as a VME. This has direct implications for the management of economically important deep-sea trawl fisheries, which are immediately adjacent. This furthers our knowledge and understanding of VMEs in North Atlantic, in a previously understudied region and demonstrates the utility of a low-cost video sled for identifying and describing VMEs.

The first event in the summer season is the British Grand Prix although this year the sprint qualifying race will not be taking place on Saturday. According to Brembo technicians, the Silverstone Circuit falls into the category of tracks that make little demand on the brakes. On a scale of 1 to 5, it is rated 2 on the difficulty index - lower than all the other tracks in the current schedule.
This does not mean that the brakes are not important on this track even if in the qualifying round in 2020 speeds reached an average of over 250 km/h (190 mph). Grip is critical and depends on both the weather conditions and the number of consecutive laps run by the single-seaters. As the grip increases, so does the braking power transferred to the ground.

Preparing a Flexible Budget
The flexible budget at the 70,000-unit and the 80,000-unit levels of activity is shown below.
(see attached file for data)
Complete the flexible budget at the 90,000-unit level of activity. Assume that the cost of goods sold and variable operating expenses vary directly with sales and that income taxes remain at 30 percent of operating income.
William George is the marketing manager at the Crunchy Cookie Company. Each quarter, he is responsible for submitting a sales forecast to be used in the formulation of the company's master budget.
George consistently understates the sales forecast because, as he puts it, "I am reprimanded if actual sales are less than I've projected, and I look like a hero if actual sales exceed my projections."
a. What would you do if you were the marketing manager at the Crunchy Cookie Company? Would you also understate sales projections? Defend your answer.
b. What measures might be taken by the company to discourage the manipulation of sales forecasts?
This solution answers questions regarding flexible budgets and budget estimates.

Idealists make me somewhat nervous. I become especially nervous when it comes to city planning and when I read of someone's desire to "design a city from the ground up." Clean slate thinking can lead to awful things, if the actor is an evil genius. Or because the world is such a complex place, it can lead to frustration of the majority of us, the well-intentioned mediocrity. Only under despotic rule are societies able to make dramatic changes. To hope for dramatic change leaves one open to the lure of dictatorship.
I think a better way to look at city planning is by considering the narrative technique known as "in medias res."
In medias res is Latin for "into the middle of things." It usually describes a narrative that begins, not at the beginning of a story, but somewhere in the middle -- usually at some crucial point in the action. The term comes from the ancient Roman poet Horace, who advised the aspiring epic poet to go straight to the heart of the story instead of beginning at the beginning.and
(Latin "in the midst of things") In narrative technique, the recommended practice of beginning an epic or other fictional form by plunging into a crucial situation that is part of a related chain of events; the situation is an extension of previous events and will be developed in later action. The narrative then goes directly forward, and exposition of earlier events is supplied by flashbacks.City planning is done "in medias res." To accept that we are plunged into the middle of things, into a raging "urban narrative," moving (per Churchill) "full force irresistible," is a useful approach with cities. We do not have the "luxury" of building and designing whole cities from scratch on some systematic basis. Thank god. We'd better get used to it and work building-by-building, brick-by-brick. That's why I have always been rather put off by Burnham's urging to "Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood." I would say just the opposite. Move by increments so as to avoid the demagogues and massive error. (Of course that does NOT mean that "no change is the best change." There is a happy medium with which wise Goldilocks would be happy.)
Of course building by increments is not as dramatic and exciting as starting from scratch. True. And I guess if you want urban excitement, there is always Brasilia.

If you don’t define yourself, others will.
This often-quoted concept is not one I thought particularly applicable to military officers until I read the May 2010 Vanity Fair article on General David Petraeus, a man I’d never thought too much about.
Sitting on an airplane headed to a conference to Ft. Lauderdale, I learned a great deal about a legend in the making. The Petraeus article was embedded between more gossipy stories about Tiger Woods’s sexual addictions and Princess Grace’s agonies and ecstasies, a clever strategy on the part of Vanity Fair; since the Petraeus article was, in my opinion one of the more important and finest that the magazine has ever printed.
Besides his military victories, extraordinary examples of heroism, I learned
1. Gen. Petraeus doesn’t discuss his family, yet his wife’s opinion is one he values highly. (A plus)
2. The damage at Abu Ghraib prison, he tells his command, is permanent and is why he espouses a philosophy of gaining the trust and respect of the indigenous population. Petraeus says, “The human terrain is the decisive terrain.” (Praise the heavens above – wisdom!)
3. After graduating West Point and becoming a Ranger, completing graduate work at Princeton, he did his doctoral thesis on the military taking responsibility for Viet Nam versus blaming politics. (Who is this man? Brains and brawn?)
4. He stood up to Congress and others, believing the approach he advocated in taking command of Iraq was worth it. (His doctrine to his troops: Live your values.)
5. He wears “a complete history” of achievement on his uniform, meaning a chest full of medals, noting, “Folks expect us to.”
This last point is also where I began. Apparently Petraeus understands that leadership requires some degree of theatre – in addition to grit, courage, and determination. Because leading people is also about leading minds. And as I always tell my troops, I mean audiences, “the signals we send either support or diminish the objectives we have.”
Read the rest of the article, since my comments don’t begin to tell his story. It is so rare to read about integrity in this crazy world, I thought, maybe we should put Petraeus in charge of the Mexican border?

William Morris (1834 - 1896)
William Morris was born in Walthamstow, Essex. The son of a wealthy businessman, he enjoyed a comfortable childhood before going to Marlborough and Exeter College, Oxford. He originally intended to take holy orders, but his reading of the social criticism of Carlyle, Kingsley and Ruskin led him to reconsider the Church and devote his life to art. After leaving Oxford, Morris was briefly articled to G. E. Street, the Gothic Revival architect, but he soon left, having determined to become a painter. His admiration for the Pre-Raphaelites led him to be introduced to Dante Gabriel Rossetti whose influence can be seen on Morris's only surviving painting La Belle Iseult.
In the 1860s Morris decided that his creative future lay in the field of the decorative arts. His career as a designer began when he decorated the Red House, Bexleyheath, which had been built for him by Philip Webb.The success of this venture led to the formation of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. in 1861. The 'Firm' (later renamed Morris & Co) was particularly well-known for its stained glass, examples of which can be seen in churches throughout Britain. Morris produced some 150 designs which are often characterised by their delightful foliage patterns.His greatest achievement as a designer was in the field of textiles and wallpapers. The designs for these were influenced by his knowledge of the medieval works held at the South Kensington Museum and his own observation of natural forms.
Morris was well-known in his own time for his literature. His first volume of poetry--The Defence of Guenevere--received a mixed reception, but his reputation as a poet was established with the publication of The Earthly Paradise (1868-70).Among his many other works were Icelandic and classical translations, Sigurd the Volsung, The Pilgrims of Hope, and a series of prose romances which included A Dream of John Ball, News from Nowhere, and The Well at the World's End.
Morris entered national politics in 1876 as treasurer of the Eastern Question Association. This was a post he was to occupy in two further radical organisations: the National Liberal League and the Radical Union.He soon became disillusioned with the Liberals and in 1883 joined the socialist Democratic Federation. After disagreements with the Federation's leader, H M. Hyndman, he formed the Socialist League, and later the Hammersmith Socialist Society.During the 1880s he was probably the most active propagandist for the socialist cause, giving hundreds of lectures and speeches throughout the country.
In 1890 Morris founded the Kelmscott Press in premises near his last home at Kelmscott House in Hammersmith (now the headquarters of the William Morris Society). Morris designed three typefaces for the Press: Golden, Chaucer, and Troy. These were inspired respectively by fifteenth-century Italian and German typography. In all, sixty-six volumes were printed by the Kelmscott Press, the most impressive of which was its magnificent edition of Chaucer which was published in 1896.(The above information, by the late Nicholas Salmon, comes from the William Morris Society's web site.)

Trust is the foundation of the Western tub and Pool and includes trusting us to do the right thing with your information. Three main values guide us as we develop our products and services. These values should help you better understand how we think about your information and privacy.
Your information belongs to you
We carefully analyze what types of information we need to provide our services, and we try to limit the information we collect to only what we really need. Where possible, we delete or anonymize this information when we no longer need it. When building and improving our products, our engineers work closely with our privacy and security teams to build with privacy in mind. In all of this work our guiding principle is that your information belongs to you, and we aim to only use your information to your benefit.
We protect your information from others
If a third party requests your personal information, we will refuse to share it unless you give us permission or we are legally required. When we are legally required to share your personal information, we will tell you in advance, unless we are legally forbidden.
Why we process your information
We generally process your information when we need to do so to fulfill a contractual obligation (for example, to process your payments ), or where we or someone we work with needs to use your personal information for a reason related to their business (for example, to provide you with a service). European law calls these reasons “legitimate interests.” These “legitimate interests” include:
- preventing risk and fraud
- answering questions or providing other types of support
- helping merchants find and use apps through our app store
- providing and improving our products and services
- providing reporting and analytics
- testing out features or additional services
- assisting with marketing, advertising, or other communications
We only process personal information for these “legitimate interests” after considering the potential risks to your privacy—for example, by providing clear transparency into our privacy practices, offering you control over your personal information where appropriate, limiting the information we keep, limiting what we do with your information, who we send your information to, how long we keep your information, or the technical measures we use to protect your information.
One of the ways is by using techniques like “machine learning” (European law refers to this as “automated decision-making”) to help us improve our services. When we use machine learning, we either: (1) still have a human being involved in the process (and so are not fully automated); or (2) use machine learning in ways that don’t have significant privacy implications (for example, how apps might appear when you visit the app store).
Your rights over your information
We believe you should be able to access and control your personal information no matter where you live. Depending on how you use Our apps you may have the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, port to another service provider, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information (for example, direct marketing). We will not charge you more or provide you with a different level of service if you exercise any of these rights.
If you buy something from a Western tub and pool online store and wish to exercise these rights over information about your purchase, you need to directly the payment processor directly. We are only a processor on their behalf, and cannot decide how to process their information. As such, we can only forward your request to them to allow them to respond. We will of course help our merchants to fulfill these requests by giving them the tools to do so and by answering their questions.
Please note that if you send us a request relating to your personal information, we have to make sure that it is you before we can respond. In order to do so, we may ask to see documentation verifying your identity, which we will discard after verification.
If you would like to designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights for you, please email us from the email address we have on file for you. If you email us from a different email address, we cannot determine if the request is coming from you and will not be able to accommodate your request. In your email, please include the name and email address of your authorized agent.
If you are not happy with our response to a request, you can contact us to resolve the issue. You also have the right to contact your local data protection or privacy authority at any time.
Finally, because there is no common understanding about what a “Do Not Track” signal is supposed to mean, we don’t respond to those signals in any particular way.
Where we send your information
We are a Canadian company, but we work with and process data about individuals across the world. To operate our business, we may send your personal information outside of your state, province, or country, including to the United States. This data may be subject to the laws of the countries where we send it. When we send your information across borders, we take steps to protect your information, and we try to only send your information to countries that have strong data protection laws. If you would like more information about where your information might be sent, please contact us.
Transfers outside of Europe and Switzerland
If you are in Europe or Switzerland, Your information is then sent to other locations and to service providers who may be located in other regions, including Canada (where we are based) and the United States. When we send your personal information outside of Europe, we do so in accordance with European law.
If you are in Europe or Switzerland, when we send your personal information to Canada it is protected under Canadian law, which the European Commission has found will adequately protect your information. When we send your personal information directly to the United States, we do so under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield programs, which set out standards for how we process your personal information in the United States if you are located in Europe or Switzerland. These programs require us to follow the Privacy Shield Principles of notice, choice, accountability for onward transfers, security, data integrity, and purpose limitation, access, recourse, enforcement, and liability. Because we participate in these two programs, we are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
If you are located in Europe or Switzerland and believe we are not following the Privacy Shield Principles, please reach out to us. If you believe that we haven’t properly addressed your complaint, you can also contact the International Centre for Dispute Resolution®, the international division of the American Arbitration Association® (ICDR/AAA). ICDR/AAA provides independent dispute resolution services at no charge to you. If you feel that your concerns have not been resolved after reaching out to ICDR/AAA, you can request that your complaint be resolved through binding arbitration.
Finally, while we do what we can to protect your information, we may at times be legally required to disclose your personal information (for example, if we receive a valid court order). For information about how we respond to such orders, please review our Guidelines for Legal Requests.
How we protect your information
Our teams work tirelessly to protect your information, and to ensure the security and integrity of our platform. We also have independent auditors assess the security of our data storage and systems that process financial information. However, we all know that no method of transmission over the Internet, and method of electronic storage, can be 100% secure. This means we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.
How you can reach us
If you would like to ask about, make a request relating to, or complain about how we process your personal information, you can contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.org or at one of the addresses below. If you would like to submit a legally binding request to demand someone else’s personal information (for example, if you have a subpoena or court order)

With the deadline of April 1, 2010 for the introduction of Goods and Services Tax looming before them, States agreed on Wednesday to have two basic rates for the new tax system, including a standard rate and a lower one for essential commodities, in addition to a special rate for a small list of precious metals.
While there will also be a list of exempted items, the exact rates for the items that would be included in the GST have not been decided.
The new tax system would replace the excise duty and the service tax at the Centre and VAT and local taxes at the State level and is meant to create a common Indian market.
Sources said the standard rate is likely to be 8-9 per cent, while the lower rate for essential commodities would be 4-5 per cent and the special rate for precious metals is expected to be fixed at 1 per cent.
Despite "differences" from States such as the DMK-ruled Tamil Nadu and some BJPruled States such as Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh on several issues including revenue loss, the compensation formula and sharing of the service tax base, the Empowered Group of State Finance Ministers on GST that met here also reaffirmed its commitment to the April 1, 2010 deadline.
Significantly, it also decided to set up a Joint Working Group (JWG) to work out within two months a framework of the necessary amendments to the Constitution for GST implementation as well as a model GST legislation for Centre and the States.
Emerging from a meeting of the Committee, the Group's Chairman and the West Bengal Finance Minister, Mr Asim Dasgupta, said, "We don't have any time to lose.
The JWG report will submit its report to the Empowered Group as soon as possible. We are making all preparations towards that target (of introducing GST by April 1, 2010)."
Admitting that Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu had raised serious reservations on many issues and had called for the intervention of the Prime Minister, he claimed that some of the problems, including those relating to whether there would be one rate or two rates, were resolved at the meeting.
The Madhya Pradesh Finance Minister, Mr Raghavji, cautioned against any haste in introducing GST, alleging that States would have reduced fiscal autonomy and claimed that Rajasthan, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, and Tamil Nadu had also expressed reservations regarding the roll-out of GST from April 1, 2010.
FLEXIBILITY FOR STATES
Mr Dasgupta, however, said "States will be given the flexibility regarding choice of goods of local importance," adding that "There is a good deal of conformity between the tax structures of the States and that of the Centre."
"There is good consensus on what is to be included. But this is a continuing process. Discussions will go on," he said. He declined to disclose the exact rates and which commodities would be excluded or included.
Mr Dasgupta added that "We have discussed in detail how the interest rate transactions take place and we have reached a convergence on that for both goods and services."
The JWG will comprise officials from the Centre and states including from the Finance ministry and other Ministries concerned in the Centre as well as the Finance Secretaries and the Commissioners of Commercial Taxes from the States, Mr Dasgupta said.
He said there was no basis for the speculation that foodgrains would be in the exempted category or attract lower tax rates. "We have to reach a consensus'' on the issue, he said.
The Empowered Group will soon discuss with the Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, further issues on goods and services to be covered under the GST and to find out the Centre's position vis--vis the States, Mr Dasgupta said. The GST would be a further improvement over the State-level VAT that also has two basic rates of 4 and 12.5 per cent.

This information was copied from the Diamond Jubilee of St. Joseph's Church, dated 1915
about Sacred Heart Church
SACRED HEART PARISH. This flourishing parish was organized in 1893, when in August of that year the Rev. Peter Hoffman was appointed pastor. Already the year previous, to accommodate the increasing number of families of the "West End," Father De Cailly of St. Joseph's opened a school in Ivo Denz' "tin shop" near the N. W. corner of Santa Fe and Union Avenues (Ave L and 23rd), where he also occasionally celebrated mass for the people. This school was opened on the birthday of the Blessed Virgin, September 8, 1892, and was in charge of the Sisters of Humility from St. Joseph's school. After Christmas the school was removed to the little frame house, 2825 Santa Fe Avenue, which Father De Cailly erected for this purpose at his own expense. At the close of the first year, June, 1893, there were 54 pupils attending.
When in the beginning of August Father Hoffman arrived to organize the new parish, he immediately set to work erecting a large brick school building, the corner stone of which was laid the 13th of August. During the meantime the old "tin shop" had again to do duty as church and school. When on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, December the 8th, 1893, the handsome school building was dedicated, the new parish had reason indeed to be proud of its first effort. For seven years this building served also as a place for divine worship, until the erection of the beautiful Sacred Heart Church.
On the 16th day of April, the corner stone of this church was laid; the dedication services took place the following year, on October 15th, 1900. The size of the church is 60 x 145 feet, and it is built of Bedford stone, in pure Roman style of architecture. The three large bells in the tower weigh 7000, 5500, and 3000 lbs. The church possesses a grand organ. The interior furnishings and decorations deserve special mention for their beauty and artistic purity. To Father Hoffman and his faithful people much praise is due for their commendable zeal and sacrifice.

FSFE 2012 Annual Report
Come and see what FSFE did in 2012! Read our annual report to find out what we achieved, how we did it, and what's ahead for 2013. We thank all of our Fellows, donors and sponsors for making our work possible! If you like what you see, please remember to sign up as a supporter, so we can keep you updated.
Why we work for software freedom
With every day, computers become a bigger part of our lives. Our phone is a computer that we carry in our pocket. Cars, as Cory Doctorow says, are just computers that we drive around in. Computers in every shape and form have become central building blocks of our civilisation.
Who controls these computers? If they are black boxes that keep their internal workings secret from us, if their makers have artificially restricted them to limit what we can do with them, then although we may pay for these computers -- we can never own them.
In order to be in charge of our own lives, we need to be able to control the computers we use. We can only do this if they run Free Software that we can use, study, share and improve. We can only do this if our computers aren't neutered to restrict their functionality, or loaded with spyware. We also need neutral networks to connect them to, so we can freely choose what to say, and to whom.
With this in mind, 2012 was both a good and a bad year for our freedom. Android is an example of how ambiguous things can get. More than 500 million smartphones and tablets with the Free Software operating system have been sold so far, putting Free Software in the hands of more people than ever before. But this is also an operating system that sometimes limits what users can do with their phones, and invites users to hand away private data. This is why we launched the Free Your Android campaign to help empower citizens to take full control of their mobile devices.
These new challenges are the latest in a series of long-standing problems that we have been working on for years. Governments and the public sector should be a natural customer base for Free Software companies and developers. Yet, public bodies across Europe remain stuck in the stranglehold of proprietary software vendors. We have continued to work on fixing government procurement and wider Free Software policies, whether in Brussels, London, Berlin or Helsinki.
We are proud to give the Free Software movement a voice in politics, and policy makers increasingly turn to FSFE for expertise and input. We helped the UK government shape its new Open Standards policy, and advised the German parliament on Free Software issues.
We worked hard to get the Free Software message out. During 2012, FSFE staff and Fellows gave more than 50 talks at events across Europe. At many of these events, we also set up a booth where people could easily find us to talk about Free Software, ask for help, and learn about our work. In addition, we held more than 15 meetings, hackathons and workshops in countries such as Finland, the UK, Estonia and Austria. The lawyers and engineers in the Legal Network which we facilitate brought the latest in Free Software thinking to their companies and clients.
Thanks to all this work, and that of the many groups and individuals with whom we join forces, the world is slowly changing. Every day, more people wake up to the power of cooperation and sharing. Every day, more people expect freedom by default.
Please join us, and help us get the world to live up to these expectations. With your support we can do it. Thank you for making our work possible!
Karsten Gerloff, President, Free Software Foundation Europe
What we have achieved in 2012
The new frontline: General purpose computing
The Internet and computers in all their forms have become an essential part of modern civilisation. They have deeply changed the way we live, work, create, and dream. The technological progress we have seen over the past couple of decades was only possible because of general purpose computers -- computers that will perform any task we give them, and networks that don't care what kind of data we transmit through them, as our president Karsten explained in his talk called All watched over by machines of loving grace?".
But this freedom to make our computers do anything we can imagine is under threat. Locked-down devices are everywhere, from the iPhone to "smart" TVs and game consoles. If we let this trend continue, the only freedom we will enjoy in a few years will be the freedom to choose our masters.
So we have made general purpose computing a focus topic for our work. We want you to be in full control of the technology you use. The limit for your ideas should be the boundaries of your imagination, not some marketing department's plan to take more money from of you.
Take charge of your phone
We decided to start as close to the people as possible: in their pockets. Your mobile phone is the most personal of your devices. It knows who you talk to, where you are, and what your plans are. So it is important that you have full control over what it does.
That is where our Free Your Android campaign comes in. We organise workshops to help people install operating systems on their phones that don't tie them to a particular company or service provider, and respect their privacy. At the end of the day participants don't just have a better phone, but something even more important: The knowledge that they can truly control the technology they use.
Torsten Grote, a former Fellowship representative, and new staffer Erik Albers have run or supported nine workshops since August, from Spain and Sweden through Germany and Italy to Slovenia and Kosovo, with over 100 participants. Get in touch if you would like to become a trainer and/or organise a workshop near you.
Your freedom to install Free Software
If you cannot install whatever software you choose on a computer, you don't really own it. Many PCs and mobile devices that went on sale from late 2012 come with a mechanism called "SecureBoot" ("Restricted Boot" would be a more appropriate name) that would prevent you from doing exactly that. We accompanied this process, and have made our demands clear: Device owners must have complete and sole control of their devices. This and other demands were echoed in a white paper by Germany's federal government. We will continue to raise this issue with politicians, consumer protection groups and anyone else who can help us defend your freedom.
We also overhauled our drm.info website with fresh information about digital restrictions management (DRM). Fellow Anna Morris and our campaign manager Sam Tuke both spoke to the BBC: Anna about a conference for women in Free Software that she helped to organise and Sam about teaching kids how to program.
Unlock digital handcuffs - use Open Standards
This year's Document Freedom Day was the most successful yet of our annual campaigns for Open Standards. Volunteers organised 54 events in 23 countries. Proprietary file formats are like digital handcuffs -- so we sent out 100 info packages to politicians and public figures, each containing a letter and a set of handcuffs.
Among the recipients were Pope Benedict XVI. and EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes, who liked the idea so much that she took the handcuffs along for one of her speeches.
Making the rules
We give the Free Software movement a voice in politics. We push for rules that are good for software freedom, and work to get rid of those that are bad for Free Software.
In May, the European Court of Justice ordered Microsoft to finally pay a record fine of 860 million euros for using its near-monopoly on the desktop to keep rivals out of the workgroup server market. Microsoft had previously spent over three billion Euro to buy third parties out of the case. We stayed on the case for almost a decade, and asserted the rights of Free Software developers to access interoperability information, especially for the Samba Team. Samba is a Free Software system for sharing files and printers that is a competitor to Microsoft's proprietary products. The court eventually agreed with us: Receiving the interoperability information was a right of the Free Software community, not a concession by Microsoft.
The European Parliament adopted an ill-conceived compromise for a single European patent system, opening the door for even more patents on software to be granted and enforced. In the years ahead, we will work hard to protect the Free Software community from the negative consequences of this decision.
For almost two years, we worked with the UK government to help them build a strong Open Standards policy. We were succesful: the government in November published a new policy on Open Standards and introduced some fundamental changes to the way the government buys software. The country's government bodies are now required to prefer Open Standards, and have to figure exit costs into the price of any new solution they buy.
The German parliament asked Matthias Kirschner, our German team coordinator, to participate in its experts' commission on Free Software. He did a great job of speaking up for the Free Software movement. We're expecting the group's recommendations to be published in early 2013.
Our Finland coordinator Otto Kekäläinen together with lawyer Martin van Willebrandt monitored calls for tender in Finland to see if they mentioned brand names, and took Helsinki's city government to tas for a botched OpenOffice pilot project. In November, Otto received the Nordic Free Software Award in recognition of the great job he's been doing.
In other countries, too, government procurement was a hot issue this year. We helped the Basque Country in Spain to make a rule that programs developed with public funds should be published as Free Software. The governments of Italy and France told their public bodies to prefer Free Software.
Our general counsel Carlo Piana and president Karsten Gerloff helped the European Parliament to release some Free Software of its own, and answered legal and practical questions from the Parliament's IT team.
The software should become available by mid-2013. At the same time, we warned the Parliament's administration that they were compromising staff politically by offering them gratis licenses to proprietary software.
Supporting developers with legal expertise
Our legal team helped more than 60 Free Software developers and projects to resolve licensing questions and other legal problems. In three "Hacking for Compliance" workshops, we trained volunteers to analyse and report embedded devices for GPL violations, so that the gpl-violations.org project could pursue them. Our General Counsel Carlo Piana and Legal Coordinator Matija Šuklje supported the Free Your Android campaign by making it clear that flashing your phone does not void your warranty.
The international Legal Network which we facilitate continues to be the premier place for Free Software legal experts to meet and exchange views. The annual Free Software Legal and Licensing workshop, organised by FSFE's Legal Team, attracted more than 60 lawyers, developers and engineers. In two days of discussing compliance, governance and patents, they contributed to a better understanding of how companies and community groups can use Free Software to their advantage.
Who is doing all the work
FSFE's General Assembly decides on our strategy and oversees our work. We welcomed two new members this year, bringing the total to 17. Martin Gollowitzer is a long-term volunteer from Austria who has consistently worked on the Fellowship. Nikos Roussos from Greece was elected to serve a two-year term as a Fellowship representative alongside Hugo Roy from France.
After Erik joined the team in October to support volunteers' activities throughout Europe, FSFE now has seven people on staff. Four of these work full time, three part time. In addition, we had a number of great interns this year, who made important contributions to our work. Some of them have taken on responsibility coordinating volunteers, such as Alessandro Polvani with the Italian team and Eszter Bako with our policy team. We have a great set of interns lined up for 2013, and are already looking forward to hosting them.
We couldn't have achieved the impact we made in 2012 without our Fellows and volunteers. Many people contributed, each person with their own special skills, for example as developers, system administrators, or legal experts. The translators team helps us to spread the word about Free Software across Europe and the world, by translating our website into up to 30 languages.
Challenges for 2013 and beyond
Gaining broad acceptance for Free Software was only the start. For 2013, we all face some important challenges:
- Software patents: After the EU has reached a compromise on the unitary patent, there is a risk that software patents will increasingly be asserted against European companies. FSFE will monitor the unitary patent system as it develops and speak up for the interests of those working with Free Software.
- Lockdown:The flood of innovation based on the PC and the Internet was made possible by general-purpose computers and neutral networks. Today, device makers and network operators increasingly strangle innovation by artificially restricting devices and networks. FSFE builds awareness for the importance of general purpose computing, and enables people to take innovation into their own hands again.
- Public procurement:The public sector stands to benefit hugely from Free Software, but outdated procurement practices stand in the way. Working with public bodies, companies and regulators, FSFE explains how procurement practices must change, creating opportunities for Free Software companies along the way.
- Brand abuse: For many buyers of software and services Free Software has come to stand for great software and great value. Some companies are mislabeling their software to take advantage, promising the user freedoms that they do not deliver. FSFE will help users make informed choices to preserve their freedom.
We ask you to help us tackle these challenges head-on. FSFE is financed through your donations. As an individual, pleasejoin the Fellowship. As a company, please donate to FSFE. Join the many individuals and companies who support our work, and help keep us independent. Together, we can build a better society for all.
Donations to FSFE are tax-deductible in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Less than 20% of our budget is spent on overhead costs, and we are looking to further reduce this figure as we grow and existing structures scale up.

“As you know the Council Fathers tried to emphasize the close link between the task of evangelizing and overcoming the divisions among Christians.”
When it comes to ecumenical dialogue, the Pope said the crisis of faith seen in many countries, cannot be ignored. He said spiritual poverty is also a challenge.
He then added that division, goes against the will of Jesus, who repeatedly prayed for unity, even among his own disciples.
The pope said the Year of Faith should mark a breakthrough in ecumenism. He called on them to seek unity, but also to remember that such a great task, cannot be achieved without the help of a higher power.

Leading car manufacturer Toyota has moved the National Green Tribunal arguing that the idea to ban diesel vehicles across the country was like a "corporate death penalty" as it impacts the existence of the company.
In its plea, the automobile company said ban on the registration of diesel vehicles manufactured by the applicant company is "unfair and unjust" as it was complying with all the laws and any restriction would severely impact its sales and the livelihood of thousands of people engaged in the automobile sector.
"The applicant company is being penalised for no fault or violation on its part thereby making the order banning registration of diesel cars as unjust and unfair on the company. The imposition of ban on registration of diesel vehicles is in the nature of a corporate death penalty as it impacts the very existence of the company. A ban order is an extremely harsh/excessive punishment and ought to be imposed in circumstances where a party commits a serious violation and not when there is no violation," Toyota said.
The petition, which is likely to come up for hearing before a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar on August 2, has sought impleadment in a case filed by lawyer Vardhaman Kaushik on air pollution in Delhi.
The plea, filed through advocates Vijay Sondhi and Cauveri Birbal, said there is no link between engine capacity and emission levels and as per Motor Vehicles Act "the engine capacity of a motor vehicle is not even a factor that is taken into consideration by the government for prescribing the applicable mass emission standards".
On December 11, 2015 the tribunal had banned registration of new diesel-run vehicles in Delhi-NCR noting that diesel was the prime source of pollution. Later, the Supreme Court ordered that the diesel-run SUVs and cars having engine capacity beyond 2000 cc would not be registered in Delhi and National Capital Region.
Subsequently, the tribunal, which was restrained by the apex court from dealing with matters on air pollution in Delhi, expanded the ambit of hearing by seeking responses on worsening air quality in metropolises like Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.

On July 17, 1998, several states adopted the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This international treaty allowed for the creation of the first permanent court dedicated to judging those responsible for serious international crimes such as war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
This initiative was supported by the so-called “middle powers”, led by Canada and a majority of developing countries.
The Court began its activities four years later (2002) without the support of the great powers of the United States, China, Russia, India and Israel. A peculiar fact in the overall international actions that nevertheless demonstrates a collective awareness and determination to show zero tolerance for the tragedies experienced in the Balkans and Rwanda in the 1990s and the reduced scope of the ad hoc international criminal tribunals created by the United Nations.

Using Matrix indexes for Resource Discovery in Grid Environment
There are many resources and services in grid environment which may be distributed geographically. So, resource discovery methods with lower update and discovery costs are of vital significance. The centralized methods have the advantage of improved management of nodes, but in a grid with large number of nodes and resources, a bottleneck is caused in the server, which reduces the system efficacy significantly. Decentralized methods proposed till now are not able to discover the required resources of the users and update their environment without any additional traffic and referral to unnecessary nodes.

I went into Dr Angel Camacho Baez, Florida office with an appointment for teeth cleaning tooth pull last week. My tooth was in pain for years had regular swelling. I had to wait a minute before going in for my exam x-ray. Along the way he explained the details how to care for teeth. He did cleaning tooth pull in less than an hour. With the prescription antibiotics by the second day, I had no pain. I'm grateful for his work. I'll come back again. Heres the post-operative recommendation from the doctor.
- After Oral Surgery and Post-Operative Care
On day 1:
on Bleeding: Following tooth removal bleeding is to be expected. Keep biting on gauze for approximately 1-2 hours. Repeat if necessary, replacing gauze 30-45 minutes. If heavy bleeding persists, our office.
Do Not smoke, rinse your mouth vigorously, or drink forcefully through a straw for 48 hours. These activities will disturb the forming blood clot and can lead to a painful condition called dry socket.
Do Not Rinse Mouth: You may drink liquids as usual, but do not rinse and spit as this may dislodge clot in the healing site.
On day 2:
Following extraction, gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1/2 tsp. salt in 1 glass of warm water). Rinse mouth ever 3 to 4 hours (especially after meals). Continue rinses for several days.
You brush and floss your teeth as normal, being careful not to brush extraction site. Proper oral hygiene will speed the healing process and diminish sensitivity. For the first few days following oral surgery, light, gentle pressure when brushing and flossing around surgical site.
On day 3:
Following extraction, you pick out any food from extraction site. Continue to do this until the area is completely healed, usually about 3-4 weeks.
on Swelling: After an extraction, you may feel some discomfort or swelling. A plastic bag of ice wrapped in a towel should be applied to the operated area-30 minutes on and 30 minutes off-for 4 to 5 hours.
on Medication: For mild average pain, use non-aspirin type of pain medication you like. If your surgery was extensive, a prescribed medication for pain or antibiotic for infection should be taken as directed.
on Food: Drink fluids maintain a soft, light diet for the first couple days following your surgery. Do not suck on extraction site and avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours following your surgery.
Bony Edges: Small, bone fragments may work up through the gums during healing. These are not roots; if they are annoying please return to the office for removal.
on Healing: Remember your mouth is in a healing phase and will need time to return to normal. If you have any problems or have any concerns, please contact our office.

The US jobs market has come a long way since the worst days of the pandemic when more than 20 million Americans lost their jobs. Now the recovery is moving into a new phase – one that will likely be slower.
For Friday’s March jobs report, economists polled by Refinitiv expect 490,000 positions to have been added. If the prediction proves correct, the nation will have recovered more than 90% of all jobs lost during the pandemic. It would also bring the unemployment rate to 3.7%, a new pandemic-era low.
Monthly job gains have averaged more than half a million over the past 12 months, a truly staggering pace compared with pre-pandemic numbers. In 2019, for example, the monthly average was only 164,000.
On the one hand, this shows how well the recovery is still going. On the other, it serves as a reminder that a slowdown will have to come eventually as the economy returns to normal.
“I do expect the pace of hiring to slow, but I do think it’s important to say that it’s because of supply constraints,” said Simona Mocuta, chief economist at State Street Global Advisors.
Weekly claims for unemployment benefits have also returned to a more normal level: Last week, 202,000 workers filed for initial jobless benefits, adjusted for seasonal swings. That was slightly more than economists had predicted but in line with pre-pandemic levels.
Meanwhile, the number of Americans filing for benefits for at least two weeks in a row fell to 1.3 million in the week ended March 19, adjusted for seasonality, the lowest level since December 1969.
The labor shortage that has characterized much of the recovery has not been resolved. Between high demand from businesses and fewer people in the workforce, the competition for talent is fierce.
In February, the nation had 11.3 million jobs to fill, but had only hired 6.7 million people. Economists believe it will take time for this mismatch between labor demand and supply to abate. In the meantime, wages are on the rise as businesses compete to attract and hire staff.
In terms of economic data, this means some indicators that were watched closely during the earlier phase of the recovery will move into the background.
“I’m almost at a point where I think the jobs numbers themselves become secondary,” Mocuta said.
Instead, data on labor force participation and wages will be much more key.
“To me it’s about the supply of labor and the price of labor. I know what the demand for labor is,” Mocuta added.
As of February, the labor force participation rate stood at 62.3%, still below the pre-pandemic level of 63.4%. That means there are still workers on the sidelines who left the labor force during the pandemic. Reasons to do so included child care, worries about contracting the coronavirus, and early retirements among older workers. Meanwhile, wages increased little during February but rose more than 5% over the preceding 12 months.
But the higher pay hasn’t matched the price increases recorded by major inflation measures. The latest Consumer Price Index shows inflation rose last month at a pace not seen in 40 years.
Mocuta hopes that wage inflation will moderate this year, though it is hard to see how else the worker demand and supply imbalance can be addressed.
“A good reason to get off of the sidelines and back to work is due to rising prices, and not just at the grocery store and at the gas pumps,” said BMO senior economist Jennifer Lee.
The bottom line is that businesses are passing their higher employment costs on to consumers as well, but there’s a limit to how much people will be willing and able to absorb.
“It’s very hard to pinpoint when the inflection points happen. You can really only tell in retrospect,” Mocuta said. But she believes the conditions are ripe for it.

The wolf is at the top of its food chain and is not hunted by any other animals, although the wolf itself is a carnivore and does hunt other animals. Humans will occasionally hunt wolves, however, most wolves die due to starvation, being hit by a car or from diseases, such as Lyme disease.Continue Reading
The wolf is a mammal found in the wild that lives, on average, 6 to 8 years. It is the largest animal in the dog species family. The most common type of wolf is the gray wolf and it is endangered. The red wolf is also endangered.
Wolves love to travel and will go more than 12 miles in one day. They are also social animals and hunt together with the other members of their pack. They will eat their entire catch in one day rather than spread out their consumption of animals over a lengthier period. Wolves will eat snakes, lizards, birds, fruit, fish and mammals. They are not particularly picky and will eat almost anything that they can find or capture.
Every wolf is a part of a pack where they follow the dominant male and the dominant male's mate. These are the only members of the pack that will reproduce in most cases and the remaining adult members of the pack will help to raise the dominant mating pair's puppies.Learn more about Wolves

On working in the public.
Problem: I want to work on ideas and collaborate with others. My data, however, is locked, as is the data of everyone else.
We can't properly share information unless we learn in the public; we also have substantial issues learning about ourselves if we do not track what we learn.
Iteration on ideas is just as important as the initial ideas!
Learn in Public
Always create while working! https://www.swyx.io/writing/learn-in-public/
Don't judge results by feedback; talk to yourself from some time ago.
It doesn't matter how many people are reached with your content. The best beneficiary of you helping your past self is future you.
Connect with others:
Make PRs to libraries you use
Make your own libraries
Clone stuff to see how it works
Summarize learning in the public
Build a persistent knowledge base (like this one!)
Always, always, always document what you did and the problems you solved.
If people doubt you, have them explain their perspective!
Focus on teaching yourself.
Write everything publicly.
Ask and answer things on public forums. Do not spend time helping others on private forums.
Do not end the week with nothing
article, from patio11 There is nothing wrong with day jobs! Some really enjoy them. If the job is right for you, that's wonderful.
If the day job is not right for you, learn on your own.
"It is in the employee's personal insterest to stop selling hours of labor and start renting access to his accumulated capital as soon as humanly possible."
In other words, to become valuable, you must accumulate valuable experience, hard skills and trust, then leverage these to continue to be constructive.
If you end the week with nothing, nothing about your life will change! No matter how hard you work you'll come back the next week having built another internal product or having worked with another internal system. This is not valuable to you, and as a student you should prefer pursuing things you benefit from.
Work where people can see you.
This is not exactly the same as 'working in public'. Working in public is working entirely on public projects, while working where people can see you is working in spaces where your work will be seen, recommended and commended.
Work on places and projects with above-average visibility. You'll be most likely to be hired and more likely to be noticed.
Don't necessarily optimize for 'sexy' projects; most engineering work isn't 'sexy'. Optimize for impact and optimize for visibility.
If you cannot gain exposure at your day job, network actively to gain exposure outside of it. Talk about things you create and show them to people!
'Stack the bricks'.The individual who has accumulated an impressive appearance is really one day at a conference talk, one day writing a good library and another writing a blog post. "Brick by brick, the wall gets higher."
Work on things you can keep
You rarely get to keep ours, bank them in the future, etc. Widespread employee ownership of the enterprice is an excellent improvement, but the work you produce concretely matters more than the shares and stakes you hold.
Buying side projects with sweat equity may give you future financial benefits, and there are real benefits to having an object that is yours to curate. Make a standalone web prescence for open source libraries to give others a stake in them.
Consumption can be valuable but creation moves you forward
Reading is valuable, but actually shipping something is so much more valuable. "You'll learn so much more shipping a failure than you'll learn from reading about a thousand successes. And you stand an excellent chance of shipping a success -- people greatly overestimate how difficult it is. Just don't end the week with nothing."
Continue to ask myself whether my contributions are valuable, whether they are noticed, and whether they could be touched by others.

The architect of the Affordable Care Act who controversially called American voters stupid found evidence that Hillary Clinton's proposed childcare policy could harm children.
Jonathan Gruber, a health economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is credited with helping create the ACA, commonly called "Obamacare."
In a paper recently published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Gruber et al. studied increased childcare access in Quebec and found it to be detrimental to child development.
"We first confirm earlier findings showing reduced contemporaneous non-cognitive development following the program introduction in Quebec, with little impact on cognitive test scores," reads the abstract for the study.
"We then show these non-cognitive deficits persisted to school ages, and also that cohorts with increased child care access subsequently had worse health, lower life satisfaction, and higher crime rates later in life. The impacts on criminal activity are concentrated in boys."
The research contradicts a position of Hillary Clinton, whose campaign is promising universal preschool for all American children.
"Hillary Clinton believes that expanding access to high-quality preschool for children would help strengthen families and communities, while giving children a hand up towards higher achievement in their education and better prospects for lifelong economic opportunity," states Clinton's campaign website.
"As First Lady, Hillary Clinton helped to start Early Head Start. Today, the Early Head Start-Child Care partnership grant program brings Early Head Start's evidence-based curriculum into the child care setting to provide comprehensive, full-day, high quality services to low-income families."
In a column for the conservative publication the National Review, sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox wrote that this research was evidence that Clinton's childcare push would not work.
Wilcox argued it's "true that high-quality child care seems to register benefits on cognitive outcomes for some children" and that "child care seems to be most beneficial for children from low-income, disadvantaged homes."
However, "children from middle- and upper-income homes headed by two parents were more likely to be harmed by spending extensive time in non-maternal care as infants," wrote Wilcox.
"Child care, then, may be better for some kids and worse for others, a possibility often ignored in public debates about the subject, and in Clinton's push for more public spending on child care."
In November of 2014, Gruber garnered headlines and extensive criticism for being in a video in which he claimed that Obamacare's passage relied upon the "stupidity of the American voter."

In the 19th century it became fashionable among pro-slavery advocates to deride the idea that the Declaration of Independence’s ringing assertion that “All men are created equal” applied to blacks.
In the Dred Scott decision the majority of the Supreme Court stated that it was a simple historical fact that blacks were not included:
The general words above quoted would seem to embrace the whole human family, and if they were used in a similar instrument at this day would be so understood. But it is too clear for dispute that the enslaved African race were not intended to be included, and formed no part of the people who framed and adopted this declaration, for if the language, as understood in that day, would embrace them, the conduct of the distinguished men who framed the Declaration of Independence would have been utterly and flagrantly inconsistent with the principles they asserted, and instead of the sympathy of mankind to which they so confidently appealed, they would have deserved and received universal rebuke and reprobation.
Yet the men who framed this declaration were great men — high in literary acquirements, high in their sense of honor, and incapable of asserting principles inconsistent with those on which they were acting. They perfectly understood the meaning of the language they used, and how it would be understood by others, and they knew that it would not in any part of the civilized world be supposed to embrace the negro race, which, by common consent, had been excluded from civilized Governments and the family of nations, and doomed to slavery. They spoke and acted according to the then established doctrines and principles, and in the ordinary language of the day, and no one misunderstood them. The unhappy black race were separated from the white by indelible marks, and laws long before established, and were never thought of or spoken of except as property, and when the claims of the owner or the profit of the trader were supposed to need protection.
Interestingly enough, John C. Calhoun, statesman and chief political theorist in defense of slavery, disagreed with this line of pro-slavery argument. While lamenting the inclusion of the “All men are created equal” phrase in the Declaration, he had no doubt that it was intended to apply to blacks:
They have been made vastly more so by the dangerous error I have attempted to expose, that all men are born free and equal, as if those high qualities belonged to man without effort to acquire them, and to all equally alike, regardless of their intellectual and moral condition. The attempt to carry into practice this, the most dangerous of all political error, and to bestow on all, without regard to their fitness either to acquire or maintain liberty, that unbounded and individual liberty supposed to belong to man in the hypothetical and misnamed state of nature, has done more to retard the cause of liberty and civilization, and is doing more at present, than all other causes combined. While it is powerful to pull down governments, it is still more powerful to prevent their construction on proper principles. It is the leading cause among those…which have been overthrown, threatening thereby the quarter of the globe most advanced in progress and civilization with hopeless anarchy, to be followed by military despotism. Nor are we exempt from its disorganizing effects. We now begin to experience the danger of admitting so great an error to have a place in the declaration of our independence. For a long time it lay dormant; but in the process of time it began to germinate, and produce its poisonous fruits. It had strong hold on the mind of Mr. Jefferson, the author of that document, which caused him to take an utterly false view of the subordinate relation of the black to the white race in the South; and to hold, in consequence, that the former, though utterly unqualified to possess liberty, were as fully entitled to both liberty and equality as the latter; and that to deprive them of it was unjust and immoral. To this error, his proposition to exclude slavery from the territory northwest of the Ohio may be traced, and to that of the ordinance of ’87, and through it the deep and dangerous agitation which now threatens to ingulf, and will certainly ingulf, if not speedily settled, our political institutions, and involve the country in countless woes.
Abraham Lincoln rose in defense of the Founders and the Declaration. Lincoln has attained such a folksy image in American folklore that we lose sight of how incisive a mind he possessed. It was on full display in this passage from a speech that he gave on June 26, 1857 on the Dred Scott decision:

History Often called the Apollo of Dogs, the Great Dane can trace its lineage back to 2,000 B.C. Artifacts have been found dating back to that time that portray Great Dane-like dogs, one of which is a relief of Assyrian men walking huge dogs. The Assyrians would trade their dogs, along with other goods, to the Romans and the Greeks. The Romans then bred the Assyrian dogs to the British dogs they had also acquired. The Celts took some of the huge dogs from the Romans and the English to Ireland, where they were bred to the native Irish Wolfhound.
The earliest Dane-like dogs were called Boar Hounds, but by the 16th century, they were known as English Dogges. French naturalist Comte de Buffon gave the breed the name it’s known by today. While traveling in Denmark, Buffon saw a variety that shared more similarities with the Greyhound. Buffon remarked that the Danish climate had caused the Greyhound to become a “Grand Danois.” The Danish name stuck, despite the fact that Denmark had nothing to do with the development of the breed. The Germans, in fact, hold the honor of developing the breed.
Personality and Temperament The Great Dane is often described as a “gentle giant,” and he can be a very sensitive companion. Because of the Dane’s size, many would venture to think of him as an ideal outdoor pet. This could not be further from the truth. He must be kept as an indoor dog, due to his sensitive and social nature. Many can be found following their owners from room to room, demonstrating the affectionate and oft-used term “Velcro Dane.” These gentle giants are naturally protective, so it is important to never encourage aggressive behavior. A Dane is a quick-study in housetraining, and is very loving and obedient. But if left unsupervised for long periods of time or not amply trained, he also can cause tremendous damage to your yard or your home. However, if you provide the love, attention, and proper training he requires, you will have a devoted and well-behaved companion for life. Keep in mind, due to the sensitive nature of the Great Dane, he is prone to separation anxiety.
Danes make wonderful family dogs. They love children, but can easily knock a child off their feet just turning around to find a comfortable spot on the couch. Their large, wagging tails can also be unintended weapons. So it is important to never leave children unattended and always supervise their interactions – a good rule of thumb with any pet.
Any dog can be a handful to live with during adolescence. In the case of the Great Dane, their adolescent years can start at six months and last until they are about two years old. It is important to start training a Dane as early as possible, due to their size. Start early and practice often to ensure a well-mannered, respectful dog. Great Danes respond best to positive reinforcement training, because of their sensitive demeanor. Socialization is the key to a well-adjusted dog, so get him out for a puppy socialization class once safely vaccinated.
Health An important option a new Dane owner should consider is securing a pet insurance policy. These giants can quickly ring up a hefty vet bill, and pet insurance can help defray the cost of his care. One of the medical conditions that can affect Great Danes is bloat – a condition where the stomach expands with air. Unfortunately, the cause of bloat is largely unknown. Bloat can escalate into gastric torsion (GDV) and turn deadly, if the stomach twists on itself cutting off the blood supply. Immediate surgery must be performed to save the Dane’s life. Bloat is the number one killer of Danes, and they top the list of breeds that are susceptible to this condition. Many Dane owners, as a preventive measure, will have a gastropexy surgery (commonly known as “tacking”) performed to help prevent the stomach from twisting in the first place. Tacking the stomach is not a guarantee that your Dane will avoid GDV, but it does help reduce the risk. According to a Journal of the AVMA study in 2000, 5.3 percent of Great Danes exhibited GDV. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of gastric torsion as a precautionary measure if you share your home with a Dane.
Great Danes are also prone to cardiomyopathy, a disease that affects the heart. They are also susceptible to other skeletal, vision and neurological problems. If adopting a Dane from a rescue group or shelter is not an option for you, please consider only purchasing from a reputable breeder that health-tests all their dogs and comes recommended by the Great Dane Club of America. The first step to owning a happy dog is having a healthy one.
Feeding and Grooming a Dane A Great Dane is easy to groom, however, keep in mind he does shed. A weekly curry with a rubber dog brush should suffice to keep the shedding at a minimum, and his coat healthy. Regular baths, ear cleaning, and frequent nail trims should all be a part of his grooming regimen. Many Danes have cropped ears, but this practice is on the downturn, even in the show ring. Cropping has no benefit to the dog whatsoever, and it has been outlawed in most of world.
For puppies, it is important to choose an appropriate and high-quality dog food to ensure he does not grow too rapidly, which can contribute to skeletal problems or the onset of HOD (hypertrophic osteodystrophy). Please speak with your veterinarian about recommended foods to ensure slow and steady growth for your pup. Dane puppies require between 6-8 cups of food daily while they are growing. It is best to split his meals into breakfast, lunch, and dinner to ensure steady growth and reduce the risk of stomach issues. Adult Danes require only 3-5 cups of high-quality kibble. A high-quality diet will not only benefit him, but will also reduce the amount of clean-up duty required to keep your yard tidy. What goes in must come out!
Rescue Rescuing a Great Dane is a wonderful option. Breed rescue groups tend to be very upfront about any health issues, are a valuable resource for advice, and offer long-term support for your new Dane when you get him home. Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue, Inc. (RMGDRI) also offers fostering opportunities, so with training, you could bring a Great Dane home to see if this wonderful breed fits your family, home, and lifestyle.
When adopting a new Dane, make sure you ask the following key questions to help with the matchmaking process: • What is his energy level? • How is he with other animals? • What is his personality like? • How does he respond to other volunteers, visitors, and children? • How old is he? • Are there any known health issues? • Has he ever bitten or hurt anyone?
Many Danes find themselves in less-than-ideal situations and come into rescue for a host of reasons. More often than not, a well-intentioned (albeit uneducated) owner does not understand how big their cute little puppy will grow up to be. Sometimes owners do not invest in properly training or socializing their new puppy, and these Danes become unmanageable and are surrendered. Families also fall on hard times and cannot afford to care for these lovely dogs. These Danes then find themselves without homes, and if they are lucky, they wind up being surrendered to a Rescue like Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue, Inc. RMGDRI will rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Danes that come into our care. Our non-profit organization has been in operation since 2000, and continues to be fully run by volunteers and generous donations. To date, we have saved over 2100 Great Danes and Dane-mixes. RMGDRI is always looking for new volunteers and foster homes, as well as donations to support our mission.

Yahoo (inadvertently?) changed a letter of President-Elect Trump’s tweet, which then contained a racial slur.
Ok, nice of them to apologize.
But most headlines managed to be written so that it looks like it was Donald Trump who had initially added the racial slur, which then needed to be deleted.
For example, here is the U.S. News & World Report headline to the story:
Yahoo Finance says it accidentally tweeted out a racial epithet when promoting a story about the cost of President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to increase the size of the U.S. Navy.
The headline for the story on Yahoo Finance is, “Trump Wants a Much Bigger Navy: Here’s How Much It’ll Cost.” But when it was tweeted Thursday, the word “bigger” had an ‘n’ as its first letter instead of a ‘b.’
The tweet was deleted and Yahoo Finance tweeted an apology , chalking up the mishap to a spelling error….
We deleted an earlier tweet due to a spelling error. We apologize for the mistake.

The festive season begins in India with Lord Ganesh arriving at everyone’s home and blessing us all. Kreative Minds also celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with lots of fun and enthusiasm in its classes. Every batch has created something unique this year. Kreative Minds organised an Online Art Exhibition for their students to show their talents on Canvass. Kreative Minds always work for their students’ betterment. So the institute always gives a chance to their kids to paint their expression and thoughts through painting.
The youngest batch of age 4 years to 5 years made Ganesh with colourful papers and newspapers. The next batch (age between 6 years to 8 years) made Ganesh with clay while they also recited some Shlokas of Lord Ganesh. The next level (age between 9 years to 11 years) worked with Matchsticks and created a beautiful Ganesh on paper. The next 3 levels (age between 12 years to 25 years) did magic with Jute thread on a hard and mound board.
The arrival of Lord Ganesh has inspired creativity in all age groups and has definitely given a lot to art lovers to look forward to in this year with their creativity. This creativity will be done with all fun and enjoyment and enthusiasm just like the ‘dhol and dhamaka’ of Ganesh Puja.
In this great occasion Kreative Minds Founder Amrita Tiwary said “
Kreative Minds believes in encouraging art in all. We often conduct various competitions in art and craft, music and dance. These competitions are all at the national level. The competitions have topics and theme based on not only festivals or current affairs but also on their imaginations.

People have died from tobacco-related diseases since the opening of the first FCTC working group on 28 October 1999.
Eight reports were prepared in the FCTC national shadow reporting programme in 2011. The aim of this programme is to monitor the compliance of Parties with their obligations under the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). Read on to download the reports.
According to the report on the Philippines, by NGO HealthJustice, “the prevalence of tobacco use remains high, with 28.3% adults and 27.3% youth currently using tobacco products. This can be attributed to weak laws, lack of strict implementation of policies, and strong tobacco industry interference”.
“In other words,” adds the report, “if the Philippines wants to win the war against tobacco, it needs to strengthen its efforts in implementing tobacco control measures”.
The Nigeria report notes that the National Tobacco Control Bill (NTCB) 2009 was passed by the country’s National Assembly on 31 May 2011 and is awaiting the president’s signature.
“With the largest population in Africa, Nigeria's successful implementation of the FCTC and its protocols portends a major catalyst for Africa and West African countries in particular, to also adopt legal frameworks that will domesticate the FCTC,” says the report.
The Nigeria shadow report was released at a press conference on 6 March, 2012 by the report’s authors Environmental Rights Action (ERA)/ Friends of the Earth Nigeria (FoEN).

Once, a generation was called “us.” Or “them.” Maybe “the grownups.” Or “kids these days” — if, indeed, anyone ever gave a passing thought to lumping together people with nothing more in common than an age span.
Then in January of 1970, a story in the Washington Post used the term “baby boomer” to describe Americans born between 1946 and 1964, a period that long had been called the “baby boom” spawned by the postwar prosperity.
The moniker caught fire, and cultural shorthand would never be the same.
Consider the images that come to mind for the term “millennial” (twentysomethings struggling to land jobs in their degree fields) or “Generation X” (parents living in their SUVs while trundling between their kids’ activities) or “Greatest Generation” (anyone in a retirement home).
The brushstrokes may be broad, but such terms both define and target each generation. Little wonder, then, that naming rights for the upcoming group already are being claimed.
The buzz is driven in part by a new book by Paul Taylor with the Pew Research Center, that insatiable collector of public opinion. In “The Next America: Boomers, Millennials, and the Looming Generational Showdown,” Taylor argues that shifts in demographics, economics, culture and technology are reshaping how generations regard each other.
In a recent appearance on Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show,” Taylor was asked what he’d call the upcoming generation. He said he didn’t yet know.
Responded Stewart: “You just opened up a contest, my friend.”
Everyone under one umbrella
People have been anticipating this conversation for some time, said Mary Meehan, a Minneapolis trend-seer who co-founded Panoramix Global, which does consumer research.
Naming a generation helps define it, she said, which makes it easier for marketers to pitch to its members.
“This is not to pigeonhole people, but to help define who we are as a nation,” Meehan said. “Then marketing and consumer research will begin to delve deep into who a specific audience is and what motivates them.”
She added: “It’s a shorthand.”
Baby boomers got named partly because there were just so many of them, but also because they were born as television was becoming popular.
“There were all these kids and you saw television programs like ‘Howdy Doody’ directed at children, who were this new market,” Meehan said. Parents, whom Tom Brokaw would later dub the “Greatest Generation” (Meehan calls them “the matures”), were trying to provide all they could for their children, she added, making the “boom” resound even more loudly.
Given that boomers cast themselves as movers and shakers unlike any who had moved or shaken before, members of Generation X — born between 1964 and 1980 — struggled to forge a clear identity.
Nor was anyone really trying to name them, either, Meehan said, adding that X actually is a symbol for the unknown.
Then in 1991, Douglas Coupland wrote a book called, “Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, ” and the term Gen X caught on.
About the same time, historians Douglas Strauss and Neil Howe came up with “13th Generation” for what they tracked as the 13th generation since Ben Franklin’s time — in other words, when the United States became an independent country.
Erudite, yes, but society already was starting to pick up the pace and favored a brisk Gen X to all those syllables. Still, the duo recovered by coining “millennials” for those born between 1981 and 2000, which bested Ad Age’s more derivative Gen Y.
The next generation still is being born, so its name can’t yet be determined. According to a Pew Research Center blog post: “Their critical formative moment or moments may not yet have happened. It’s really too early to tell exactly which of the many forces acting upon them will be the most broadly applicable and impactful.”
Susan Brower, the state demographer for Minnesota, agrees, noting that definitions get set in motion “when there is a new or defining event, or cultural tie that comes out of social commentary.”
Pop cultural names don’t add much value to the work of demographers, who are more concerned with marking a generation’s start points and end points, she said.
It’s a determination done in retrospect, and is less a “clean” parade of dates than you might think, given events of history, Brower added. “There’s very little precision around where one generation begins and another ends,” she said. “But it’s still important for us to think about the generations’ demographics because they behave differently.”
She wouldn’t hazard a guess about the next term: “We’ve yet to see.”
Others, however, are eager to speculate.
When historians Strauss and Howe sponsored a website contest in 2005, not long after the Sept. 11 attacks, the clear winner was Homeland Generation.
In 2012, the marketing firm Frank N. Magid Associates came up with the term “plurals.” Plurals, it contends, will be the United States’ last generation with a Caucasian majority, will exist in far more diverse social circles than previous generations, and also is “the most positive about America becoming more ethnically diverse.”
Among the names being perused at Pew are the TwoKays or 2K’s (born after 2000), Generation i (or iGeners and iGens), @generation, the Swipe Generation, the Tweennials, Screeners and Evernets.
Clearly, it’s possible to overthink this.
Mary Meehan’s Panoramix Global favors Gen We, partly to poke a gentle stick at Generation Me — a term that, interestingly, has been used to describe both baby boomers and millennials as being insufferably self-absorbed (which suggests that various generations often delight in poking sharp sticks at each other).
Meehan believes that members of Gen We will be constantly connected and rarely alone technologically (although perhaps physically), given the reach of social media.
Right now, it’s impossible to know what name eventually will stick, she said.
“There tends to be tipping point of sorts when a term begins to be used enough to be recognized.”
Evernets? iGens? Stay tuned.

As the weather warms up, you might be coming to the realization that you need a new HVAC system. The most important day in your system’s life is the day that it’s installed (not the day that it was manufactured). If installed correctly, the system is likely to operate efficiently and have a long life. If not installed correctly, that’s when the problems start to creep in. The most critical thing you have to think about as a homeowner isn’t the brand or efficiency rating of a new HVAC system—it’s who’s going to be installing it.
We strongly recommend that you pay attention to the quality of the company, the caliber of the service technicians, and the training they undergo to make sure they do the job right every time. Remember, the quality of installation is the most important thing you need to consider. It’s critical that the installer pays attention to the manufacturer’s specs for airflow. They should also be following all codes for safety. If you assumed that every contractor pulls permits and installs the system to code, you’d be sadly mistaken.
Another way that you can separate the good installers from the bad ones is by finding out if they’ve committed to purchasing the proper tools. At Boulden Brothers, we use all electronic gauges. When we’re putting the refrigerant charge in for the first time, we know that we’re using the absolute best tools on the market to make sure we’re doing it correctly. Companies that still use manual gauges can’t get close to the proper charge, especially at times of the year when it’s cold outside. Tools like electronic gauges are expensive, so not every company is willing to make the investment.
What Happens When You Contact Boulden Brothers?
The first thing we do is set an appointment for a project specialist to go out to your home. They will engineer the job to make sure that the type of system you want is an ideal choice for your home. Importantly, we perform an engineering load analysis where we determine the heat loss and heat gain for your home to make sure that the system we’re installing is the proper size. (Not all contractors do this.)
First, we perform the calculation by looking at things we know for sure: the size of the windows, the number of doors, and the direction that each wall of the house faces. Since we can’t always see the insulation, we have to make an estimate. We also look at whether the house is on a slab, crawlspace, or attic. It’s a fairly long list of items we pay attention to in order to come to a decision. Once we gather all the data, we enter it into a computer or manual calculation sheet. It will tell us the size of the system that’s ideal for your home.
When it comes to most things, people tend to think that bigger is better. That’s not the case for HVAC. You’re not going to get the maximum comfort unless your system is properly sized. On the other side of the coin, if the system is too small, it will not have the capability to heat or cool your house when the weather reaches extremes.
Then we’ll look at the ideal size of the system in combination with your house’s engineering. Maybe your house can accommodate a high-efficiency furnace, standard efficiency furnace, or heat pump. In terms of efficiency, you can go from the government-mandated minimum up to almost double, depending on the size of the system. You’ll have to decide what’s most important: operating cost, initial investment, or even the highest efficiency regardless of the payback. Everyone has a different motivation when it comes to deciding the efficiency that they prefer in an HVAC system.
There are usually four or five options that could work in a client’s home. It’s confusing if you’re presented with so many options, so part of the process we take is to narrow down the choices by getting an idea of what’s most important to you.
There are a lot of choices when it comes to a new HVAC system. We’ll be there for you every step of the way. If you want to get your system installed properly, give Boulden Brothers a call or[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section] . You’ll be sure that your new system is in good hands on its most important day.

DENVER (AP) – A letter by a state official explaining some concerns for communities that decide to ban medical marijuana dispensaries may appear to take one side on the issue and is therefore unethical, Colorado’s attorney general determined.
Attorney General John Suthers found the letter by Dan Hartman, director of the State Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division, didn’t violate a ban on public officials’ using public resources to take sides in elections, Suthers spokesman Mike Saccone said Friday.
But Suthers did determine the letter was “unethical,” Saccone said.
Hartman wrote the undated letter in response to citizens’ questions about what impact there would be for communities that are considering bans on dispensaries in the Nov. 1 election, a Denver TV station reported.
“Unfortunately, communities that vote to ban Medical Marijuana operations also ban the MMED from regulating and monitoring any and all Medical Marijuana activity within their community,” Hartman wrote in the letter.
“This ban will not remove Medical Marijuana from your community, but it will prevent the MMED from being able to help ensure that Medical Marijuana sales are regulated, monitored, safe, secure and taxed,” it said.
The letter does not explain that dispensary bans don’t affect the ability of police agencies to enforce drug laws. And under the state Constitution, dispensary bans don’t prohibit patients from obtaining medical marijuana from registered caregivers.
Hartman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
Hartman’s letter was circulated in Palisade, where voters will decide Tuesday whether to ban dispensaries. Stan Hilkey, sheriff of Mesa County, said it could appear to advocate against a ban.
“It’s a slap in the face to the law and a slap to the face of law enforcement — that the only way to deal with this is to allow the dispensary model,” Hilkey said.
In Larimer County, where a proposed dispensary ban is on the ballot in Fort Collins, Sheriff Justin Smith called the letter “wholly inappropriate.”
Desa Loughman, co-owner of Palisade’s single dispensary, Colorado Alternative Healthcare, insisted Hartman took no stance on the ballot issue.
Suthers reviewed the letter at the request of Hilkey and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Saccone said.

...and the water is the easy part. After four years of evading a variety of predators in the river (going down as fry and up as adults) and at sea (Orcas, sea lions etc.) these Coho Salmon have made it back to the middle reaches of the river where they hatched. Their predators are for the most part behind them...now they just have to fight their way up river to the spawning grounds. The action takes place in the Sol Duc river of Olympic National Park.
Thanks for looking.

By 1964, the Department of Psychology occupied 42,602 square feet across nine buildings, including "one located at the Airport [while] another [was] a converted dairy building which [was] leased in downtown Urbana". A new building was desperately needed, so the new Psychology Building was designed to give the department 136,000 square feet of new space with 22,800 as offices, 6,000 as classrooms, 8,300 as "instructional laboratories", 37,300 for research laboratories, and 3,600 for "warehouse storage space".
Built in 1969, the Psychology Building was the work of the noted architectural firm Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, with initial site planning being conducted in 1965. The 8-story building features an atrium that runs its full height and is flooded by natural light from ceiling skylights. A small garden with stream and waterfall occupy the center of the atrium, but the pump powering the water feature has long since passed away.
The $6,400,000 facility was funded through the Illinois Building Authority, Department of Health, Educational Welfare, and the National Science Foundation.
An interesting feature of the lobby is a television screen positioned just inside the atrium, which relays the day's calendar of events. Although the display quality would suggest early 1990-era character generation hardware, as of 2004, this is one of the few buildings on campus with an updated electronic calendar display.

There’s a blank page before me and, damn it, if I don’t blame Lin-Manuel Miranda.
“It’s like the drip, drip, drip that’ll never stop.”
“Encanto.” “Hamilton.” Something to take your mind off the writing, she said. I watch and I hear the words of Lin-Manuel and I stew and the next morn comes and the day is still gray.
My mind doesn’t stop now. It’s an endless loop of Lin-Manuel and his rhythm.
Again, Lin-Manuel, get out of my head.
The blank page awaits. I try morning, then noon, then night. But the words still don’t come.
“Oh, no. We don’t talk about Bruno.”
Rhyme after rhyme fills my head. But my words do not come. Not the words that Lin-Manuel Miranda writes. So creative. So talented. So damn good.
Yet, all I have is the blank page and Lin-Manuel in my head.
“I’m willing to wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it.”
NOTE: The above work came from a writing prompt presented during a recent Pen to Paper Live session hosted by the Charlotte Lit organization. You can register here. In the session, presenter Kathie Collins offered a writing prompt taken from a recent workshop led by poet Jessica Jacobs. We were challenged to try some layered writing in which we’d use some metaphors, physical objects, paintings, etc. to connect an experience we were feeling.

Hi i can't allow others users to use 777 permission commands . chmod 777 fdisk su normaluser fdisk-l fdisk:you must be root to do that but i think that i don't have to use suders file while I've already changed the command permission to allow the others to use it. but i can use ls command although it has less permission 755 i thought that changing the permission of any executable to rwx for the others will allow any one to execute that executable . is it something related to SElinux . also what is the interpretation of r for the executable ? what if the permission of the executable was only --x--x--x ,will that make a difference ?

Connecting lines: How devolving transport policy can transform our citiesPublished Thu 10 Mar 2016
Across the major cities of England, new directly elected mayors will soon take charge of their transport networks. They will not govern alone, but they will be the primary political executives and the most visibly accountable individuals. This change is long overdue. The UK is behind other similar countries: we invest far less in infrastructure and leave local transport authorities without the powers they need over their transport networks.
This presents an important opportunity for English cities to improve their transport systems. Mayors should make their cities’ transport systems more integrated and ensure that they better support wider goals such as access to jobs, schools and other public services, improvements in public health, carbon reduction and cleaner air.
This report makes detailed recommendations for how English mayors can improve city transport systems over three terms of office – and how central government can support them, including by giving them more powers.
Our recommendations fall into three categories, and would enable mayors to:
- invest in their transport network by drawing on new resources, such as an expanded business rate premium, workplace parking levies, road user charging and a broad range of other revenue raising powers
- integrate the transport services of public, private and community transport providers, starting with the re-regulation of buses but ultimately taking a ‘Total Transport approach’
- lead their city-region, by using new democratic structures to govern inclusively, balancing strong executive power with the representation of all communities, and robust checks and balances.
Opportunities and challenges for new mayors
- New mayors seeking to improve their transport networks will face the challenge of reduced and falling spending power – but they will be helped by continuing technological advances, and potentially by increasing autonomy as more powers are devolved from central government.
- One of the most significant new powers they will have will be the ability to franchise (or regulate) their bus networks, which is set to be enabled by the new buses bill.
- Mayors can learn lessons from the ‘Total Transport’ pilots, which are trying to improve the way different public bodies spend money on transport in rural areas.
- Within the UK, some transport authorities are already innovating. These range from Transport for London’s public health innovations to Greater Manchester’s earnback initiative and Nottingham’s workplace parking levy.
- As UK city-regions move towards a level of devolved power and responsibility that has long been enjoyed by similar city-regions overseas, there is an opportunity for them to learn from their international counterparts: from the slow reinvention of Malmö to the rapid but radical changes seen in New York City; from integration across the public sector in the Netherlands to measures in France that raise vital revenue from employers; and to road user charges in several cities across Europe that have reduced emissions and improved congestion.
Recommendations for central government
- Proceed with plans to enable mayoral combined authorities to levy 2p on business rates to be directed toward transport infrastructure – but then move to remove the 2p cap and broaden the scope of the levy to allow it to fund services and other improvements in the transport network.
- Establish a single transport fund as part of a longer-term financial settlement with transport authorities.
- Enable metro mayors to implement workplace parking levies more freely, and to pilot other taxes and levies that support transport investment.
- Proceed with current plans to enable the franchising of buses, and provide transport authorities with the tools and funding they need to put this in place, requiring only robust governance not specifically a mayor.
- Support and evaluate the current Total Transport pilots to help mayors to roll out the most successful aspects of public sector transport integration across other neighbourhoods and cities.
- Require all departments to work with the local transport authority to share and publish as much data as possible.
- Enhance the powers of transport committees to the level of policy advisory committees.
- Require a local public sector advisory committee to be set up in order to feed recommendations on transport policy to the mayor – and then move to set up governance structures needed to manage the Total Transport approach across the relevant public sector bodies.
Recommendations for metro mayors
In the run-up to the 2017 mayoral elections, metro mayors should pledge to use their existing powers to:
- reduce fares for public transport on some bus routes and for some groups – young people, the low-paid or jobseekers
- invest in much-needed tram infrastructure or support new bus routes to reduce congestion on the roads
- introduce smart ticketing and a rationalised, integrated transport network
- guarantee that no resident lives more than an hour’s bus journey or an affordable bus ticket away from a job, so that all residents are connected with vital work opportunities, and to make a similar commitment around travel to a leisure centre.
In the 2020 mayoral election campaigns we would expect mayors to invest in and develop their networks further, and to implement a ‘Total Transport’ plan which would guarantee no citizen is an unreasonable distance from hospitals, GP surgeries and other important public services.
By 2024 we would expect mayors to have significant funding and control over their transport network such that they can pledge to make incremental improvements in transport infrastructure to keep pace with the most advanced cities in the rest of Europe.

Ovens that cannot use some functions without connecting to the Internet are talked about
In recent years, IoT devices equipped with an Internet connection function have been mass-produced, and it has become possible to notify the completion of cooking in a microwave oven and remotely activate heating. Around such IoT devices, users reported that 'I wanted to use a microwave oven, but I was asked to connect to the Internet and it became unavailable.'
???????? ♂️ @GE_Appliances won't let me use convection roast on my new oven without connecting the oven to wifi. After a string of profanities I reluctantly downloaded the app and sat on the kitchen floor 10+ minutes trying to get it connected… unsuccessfully. The app is complete garbage pic.twitter.com/Omold25XKP— David Barnard (@drbarnard) March 5, 2022
Software developer David Bernard reported the unavailability of the microwave oven. When Bernard tried to use the 'convection roasting function' in the oven of GE Appliances , an American home appliance maker, he said to the monitor installed in the microwave oven, 'Please connect to the Internet and update to the latest software.' Notification was displayed. Mr. Bernard said that he tried to connect to the Internet for more than 10 minutes, but the connection failed.
The oven used by Mr. Bernard is ' GE Profile 30' Smart Built-In Twin Flex Convection Wall Oven ', which is a high-end model sold for $ 3,665 (about 420,000 yen) at the time of writing the article. Bernard said that the heating function of the microwave oven was excellent, but told GE Appliances via Twitter that the convection roasting function was not available.
In response to the above tweet, the official account of GE Appliances apologized 'I apologize for the problem with the oven' and asked Bernard to share the model number and serial number.
Oh no David! We're sorry that you're having difficulties with your oven. It's disappointing to have a new appliance that's not working properly, and we apologize for the troubles. Please allow us to investigate. Can you DM us your model and serial #? Thanks. -AT— GE Appliances (@GE_Appliances) March 5, 2022
After Bernard posted the above tweet, the news sharing service Hacker News said, 'Smart ovens are garbage that you wouldn't buy if you have a rational mindset.' There are many criticisms of smart home appliances such as 'No.'

(CNN) -- The U.S. Treasury Department will begin selling bonds Wednesday to help the Federal Reserve, which has had to loan out an unprecedented amount of money to businesses because of the credit crisis.
CNN's Ali Velshi says the Fed needs access to large amounts of cash to keep Wall Street confident.
1 of 2 The Fed announced Tuesday it would authorize the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to lend up to $85 billion over two years to insurance giant American International Group. In return, the government will receive a 79.9 percent stake in the company, which has 74 million clients in 130 countries.
The first Treasury auction for the central bank will be for $40 million. The Treasury bills will mature in 35 days, allowing the Fed access to quick cash.
But what does this mean to American taxpayers and an ailing U.S. economy? CNN senior business correspondent Ali Velshi breaks it down.
Q: What does this mean in layman's terms?
A: The Federal Reserve keeps a lot of money in supply to help banks, and basically, when they help them, it means they loan them money. As this credit crisis intensified, the Fed invited more and more banks to come and borrow from it and would accept collateral that was not as high-quality as it would typically accept. The Fed was the lender of last resort for a bank; you paid a premium to borrow money from the Fed, and you had to give them your best collateral.
What's happening now is you still pay a premium, but you can go with lower collateral. The thinking behind that is the more banks feel free to go to the Fed to borrow money, the less likely they are to get money at higher interest from other sources and the less likely they are to fail as a result. In other words, if they feel that there is an ability to borrow money from the Fed -- if they absolutely have to to stay afloat -- that facility is there.
Well, the number of banks that have taken advantage of this has caused the reserve at the Federal Reserve to go from about $800 billion to, by some estimates, as low as $200 billion. And when they do things like the bailout of AIG, that's where that money comes from. Watch experts discuss what the bailout means for consumers »
So you do the math, and there's some sense that the Fed could run out of money to finance these banks, to give loans. And just the idea that the Fed could run out of that money causes Wall Street to panic because it says, "If four more banks were to fail, the Fed wouldn't have money to bail them out, so we're in a bad situation."
So the thinking is: Let's increase the Federal Reserve's reserve, and that's what this auction is. It's the first in a series of auctions -- this one will be for $40 billion -- where the Treasury on behalf of the Federal Reserve issues bonds that they will sell at auction, the way they normally do, and they'll be for 35-day periods. So the Fed gives out those bonds, and in exchange, gets cash and the Fed sits on that cash and uses it for whatever it needs.
Q: Why would the government bail out a company like AIG but let Lehman Brothers file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection?
A: Speaking frankly, the world can do without another investment firm. If an investment bank fails, any remaining investment bank can hire more people and take their jobs. AIG is not an investment bank. As a principal insurer, it insures consumers, it insures businesses and it insures business ventures, so it's not just that your corner store needs insurance.
AIG insures things like rigs and Hollywood movies and those subprime mortgage-backed securities. The utter failure of business that would ensue from a failure of AIG would be catastrophic and would actually leave the government having to pick up a few things along the way.
The best analogy I've been able to come up with is to use an automaker. When you think about putting an automaker out of business, you put tire makers out of business, you put seat makers out of business, you put all sorts of things out of business. It's the same thing with AIG. There are tentacles. They're just so connected to so many other parts of the economy that the government deemed it more dangerous and potentially more expensive to the economy to have it fail than to give them this loan.
Susan Orman: 'Thank God, they bailed out AIG'
A: If AIG gets the financing it needs, the taxpayer is actually doing OK. The government is charging such high interest to AIG, and they've got a guarantee of 80 percent of the company, so this may not be a bad deal for the government, and the interest is high enough to discourage others from coming cap in hand to the government.
If you realize that maybe the government will bail you out as a last resort but you're going to pay 12 percent interest on the loan, that's expensive. For a business to be paying 12 percent for their money is very expensive.
Q: What sort of interest can an investor expect from something like this?
A: When the Federal Reserve loans money out to banks, these are short loans. They've typically been under a month. They can be extended under new emergency rules, but typically speaking, they're all supposed to be "bridge loans," immediate financing while some sort of problem is sorted out.
The loan to AIG is a 24-month bridge loan, so obviously these 35-day bonds are not great, but the idea is that money that is borrowed by the Federal Reserve in exchange for a bill is as safe as it gets. That is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
The government can borrow money probably for less than most people can because this gets sold to investors who want safety. It's not a premium. The government's not going to pay a lot of interest on this, but it's a very safe loan. If you're an investor who's looking for a small but absolutely safe return for 35 days, this might be an option for you.
Q: These bonds are not available to the individual investor?
A: Not at all. It's not something that individuals buy. It's all done commercially.
Q: The U.S. government says it will charge AIG roughly 12 percent interest for this rescue loan, but that's not comparable to what an investor would earn by buying these bonds?
A: Not at all. I don't know what the rate is and that' s because it's an auction -- it's determined that way. I would be surprised if there's any material spread between that and an equivalent Treasury.
If you buy a Treasury, it trades on a daily basis. I'm guessing this is actually more of a straight bond in that you'll buy it and that'll be your rate until you redeem it, but I could be wrong. I don't know the machination of that. It's a safe, safe, safe investment. It's the United States government backing the investment.
Q: And by being a safe investment, it dictates a lower return?
Q: So the fact that the Fed, by some estimates, is low on cash and having to bail out a weak economy, that doesn't negatively affect the government's bond rating?
A: It doesn't have an effect on the rating. The way things happen at these auctions sometimes is that regardless of the good rating, sometimes they're oversubscribed and sometimes they're undersubscribed. It has more to do with the needs of the market. If the market needs the money, they'll sell quickly. It's not the equivalent of printing new money; it's borrowing more money. The government is simply issuing a loan based on its own credit.
Q: Is the Treasury auction then a result of the weak economy or is it directly linked to the AIG rescue loan?
A: It's directly linked to the moves that the Federal Reserve has taken to shore up financial services, and AIG would be key among those.
Q: The government has said the rescue loan is backed by AIG's considerable assets, which total about $1.1 trillion. If reports are correct that the government is planning on selling off many of these assets to get its money back, why does it need to issue these bonds?
A: Two separate issues. Regarding AIG, the government gets 80 percent of the assets as collateral. They're not free to sell them. The company has to sell them, and as they do so and repay the government, the 80 percent hold can be diminished. You may not need any of that to cover AIG.
The bond issuance here has got more to do with the fact that the reserves that the Fed keeps have dwindled from about $800 billion to an estimate -- and I should tell you that's an outside estimate, not the Fed's estimate -- of about $200 billion, so they are just looking for methodology to increase the reserve. I don't think it's meant to say that the Fed is losing $85 billion of its $200 billion, and that $85 billion is covered. It's a separate transaction. It's the idea that we need to have enough money to keep Wall Street confident that we can move in and rescue a bank if we have to

Stop the Sweat!
While the summer months offer us many perks such as BBQ’s with friends, hanging out at the beach, lighter clothing, hiking and lounging by the pool, for many of us it also brings about a major concern; excess sweating.
Hyperhidrosis is a disorder that defines individuals who sweat more than the body would normally need to maintain optimal temperature.
It has been previously disregarded as a natural body reaction that most sufferers learn to live with and compensate for in lifestyle, but it has also been shown to seriously affect quality of life.
Many sufferers must be conscious of their sweating when making decisions about daily activities. Sweating hands, underarms, feet or face, can give the wrong impression in business and personal situations. It can have an emotional, social, and physical impact on sufferers.
Common areas of localized hyperhidrosis include;
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
- Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
- Face (facial hyperhidrosis)
The cause of this disorder is unknown, however, the way it affects sufferers appears related to over-activity of the central nervous system thereby causing an overacting stimulation of local sweat glands.
There are a variety of treatment options available which include BOTOX injections, topical treatments, iontophoresis and surgery.
At Afterglow Skin Care we use the treatment of BOTOX on many of our patients as it is a highly effective option and supported by prevailing clinical research. BOTOX is the only prescription medicine approved by Health Canada for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, which means it is deemed safe and effective when used correctly by an experienced and specially trained doctor. The results are effective and long-lasting, on average, each treatment will effectively reduce sweating for 7 months.
Book a complimentary consultation to review options to treat your Hyperhidrosis. Take control of your excess sweating today and let us help you make an informed decision about treatment.

With a large-scale battery storage system, the public utility company Versorgungsbetriebe Bordesholm in northern Germany is able to supply the European utility grid with balancing energy – a lucrative business model. In a unique experiment, the electric utility company and TH Köln, University of Applied Sciences in Germany, proved that the entire region can be supplied with electricity 100 percent from renewable energies. Setting a milestone for the energy transition.
“No more fossil fuels on this island.” These were the words of Hollywood legend Marlon Brando. Since April 2019, the luxury private resort on the island of Tetiaroa in the South Pacific has been receiving a near around-the-clock supply of solar power. Here, guests can enjoy luxury-level comfort and convenience while having the opportunity to experience how humans and nature can co-exist in complete harmony.
The new Seethalerhütte is at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters in the glacier region of Dachsteingebirge, Austria. A sustainable concept and logistic expertise was required to create a suitable energy supply.
Approximately 1,000 people live in the village of Gutu in Nepal, about 800 kilometers away from the capital city of Kathmandu. There is no public electricity supply. Until recently, everybody shifted for himself: open fires to cook on and smoke in the house, a huge stock of candles or the hum of the diesel generator at the local metal processing company were a part of everyday life. Find out why the village inhabitants have been able to leave all this behind them.
Diesel generators that ran for 12 hours a day powered the school located on Lasqueti Island in British Columbia, Canada, from its construction in 1953 until 2016, when a community effort turned a solar dream into reality.
Plenty of oil, but little electricity. Nigeria may be rich in raw materials, however, electricity supply leaves much to be desired. SMA supports the energy transition in Nigeria’s commercial and rural energy supply with a range of intelligent solar solutions and local training programs. Solar micro- and stand-alone grids ensure sustainable economic development in this Sunbelt nation.
Lithium-ion batteries are long-established, tried-and-tested solutions for grid-connected applications, resulting in other battery types rarely—if ever—being used nowadays in battery...

More than a thousand delegates are attending the International Grassland Congress in Sydney, Australia, this week, a meeting that only takes place every four years. Giving the opening keynote presentation on Mon 16 Sep 2013 was Jimmy Smith an animal scientist and food security expert.
‘. . . Delegates have heard that reducing the carbon footprint of global agriculture is just one challenge.
Dr Jimmy Smith, head of the International Livestock Research Institute, says the more immediate question is how to feed the world’s booming population.
‘”Estimates show that between now and 2050 the world will need to produce about one billion tonnes more cereal, and about half of that would be used for livestock feed and the other half for human consumption,” he said.
‘”We would need about a billion tonnes of dairy commodities a year by 2050, and we will need about 450 million tonnes of meat annually.”
‘He says the jury’s out on whether producing that much food is even possible.
‘”We are not so sure where we would find the technologies to produce those levels of meat and milk and cereals on a fixed land base, which some say is already reaching its ecological limits, but that’s what our research is about,” he said.
‘”Much of that increase would have to come from increases in productivity, because the suitable land for agriculture has largely been used.”
‘Helping farmers get more bang for their buck is seen as the best way to address food security and to help reduce the huge contribution that agriculture makes to global carbon emissions.
Dr Smith says the focus must now shift from large-scale agriculture to the small-scale farmers who dominate in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
‘”Certainly smallholders of the world who have largely been subsistence farmers, we need to connect more of them to markets,” he said.
‘”And by doing so, we allow them to contribute more effectively to aggregate food supply, but by connecting them to markets, we also allow them to earn more income, because even though there is so much livestock products produced in the world, only about ten per cent of it is traded.
‘”So trade in the livestock commodities is relatively low at the moment, it will increase in the future but it’s still relatively low, so local markets matter.”‘

Release Date: September 23, 2008
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- University at Buffalo political scientist Joshua J. Dyck, Ph.D., says that Democrats and Republicans would be wise to concentrate on registering new voters right now because late registrants are more likely to vote in national elections than those who register early.
"Because the presidential race is shaping up to be close, turnout could very well be the deciding factor again as it was in 2000," Dyck says, "and if a party can win the turnout battle, swinging a swing state is possible."
Dyck, assistant professor of political science at UB, bases his assumptions on a study of voter participation in the 2000 presidential election, which he conducted with colleagues at the University of Maryland and the University of Texas.
"The study found that people who register to vote closer to registration deadlines are much more likely to vote on Election Day than are people who register earlier in an election year," he says.
"So the takeaway message for political campaigns focused on get-out-the-vote efforts is -- you'll get more bang for your buck if you focus on the narrow window close to the registration deadline, which is coming up in the next two weeks in most states.
"That's where we see a huge surge in voter registration and those people are much more likely to turn out to vote," Dyck says.
"The findings from our paper suggest that there is a fertile ground in registering new voters in the weeks leading up to the closing deadline, which is the first week of October in many states.
"Voters registered in the course of an election campaign are more regular voters than those who registered during the course of the year at the DMV, etc.," he says.
"Given the scores of new voters brought into the primary process through the competitive and historic Democratic race, it will be interesting to see if these folks turn out on election day. The fear for Obama has to be that many young voters registered in the spring are college students, who are notably transient.
"If they changed residences, or moved after graduation, bringing them into the fold during the primary may be insufficient to get them to turn out in the November election."
The study found that people who registered to vote the week of the registration deadline were 16 percent more likely to vote than those who registered one year from the deadline. Of the late registrants, young adults were 15 percent less likely to vote than older adults, and women were more likely than men to turn out. Across all counties studied, an average of 125 percent more registrants signed up in the three weeks prior to the deadline than in all previous weeks.
The researchers also found that Republican late registrants were much more likely to vote than late-registering Democrats. The study showed that in most places where Democrats "won" the election in 2000, they had to register many more people than the Republicans because the GOP's new registrants appeared to vote at almost twice the rate as new Democratic registrants. Late registrants from both parties were more likely to vote than independents.
Dyck's co-researchers were James G. Gimpel, Ph.D., professor of government at University of Maryland, and Daron R. Shaw, Ph.D., associate professor of government at University of Texas.

Since 2011, Israeli planes and helicopters have flown over a hundred verified sorties against the Syrian army and its allies, direct combat support for ISIS/ISIL units operating inside Syrian territory. Such missions would be impossible without forward air controllers on the ground inside Syria, Israeli operatives with ISIS.
Similarly, Israeli mobile artillery in Syrian territory occupied after the 1973 War has stretched a protective umbrella well into Syria in support of ISIS units. Sources within the UNTSO (United Nations Treaty Supervision Organization) operating with advanced radars inside the DMZ (De-militarized Zone) indicate that hundreds of violations have been observed but not reported.
More recently something curious has come to light. Israel has long worked to dominate social media and other internet outlets including Wikipedia. US aid dollars are used to subsidize classes for unemployed housewives, numbering in the hundreds, who “troll” chat rooms, publish smears on Wikipedia and now, after breaking through endless shifting IP addresses, ISIS announcements and threats originate in Israel as well, from the same group.
Recent threats against United States Marines and their families come from the same sources beheading videos originate, also the same sources so many “phony bin Laden” audio tapes and bizarre photographs came from as well. The infamous “Bin Laden Studios” in Tel Aviv is also “ISIS Productions” as well.
Rita Katz of SITE Intelligence, source for much of the fabricated intelligence used by the Bush and Blair administrations to justify the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan after the demolition of the World Trade Center in 2001, now “finds” ISIS material as well. She finds it; a dozen American intelligence agencies including the NSA and CIA lack the skills and equipment of a Brooklyn housewife.
It Gets Worse, So Much Worse
At the beginning of the US air campaign against ISIS, the US Air Force destroyed all potential fuel facilities ISIS could use including Syrian facilities they were afraid might be taken. There are in fact no facilities that produce gasoline or diesel for the thousands of vehicles ISIS uses.
There is no source of fuel for the buses ISIS operates in Mosul, no fuel for their tanks or earth moving equipment, so vital to building their defenses.
Fuel for ISIS has long come from Turkey, supplying ISIS and Al Nusra fighters, the ones who met with Senator John McCain, operating around Aleppo.
The rest of the fuel used by ISIS follows the same routes that brought the heavy weapons into both Syria and Iraq, the endless stream of professionally modified Toyota pickup trucks. That route originates in Israel and crosses Jordan and operates under an air umbrella supplied not only by the IAF but Jordanian Air Force as well.
Long ago, it was established that the now tens of thousands of Jihadists flocking into Mosul have transited Turkey and Israel. Last week two girls from the EU were intercepted inside Turkey, heading for Mosul. That same week, however, nearly 1000 fighters transited Israel and Jordan and none were intercepted. Most were flown from Libya using the same planes that CIA rendition services used for moving torture victims to and from black site prisons, planes often laden with Afghan heroin as well.
These planes still carry drugs but now they have other cargo as well including stolen antiquities and refugees captured for organ harvesting or to be trafficked.
Last week, a delegation from the Palermo based International Parliament, including former Iraqi Prime Minster Maliki, was threatened. They have been investigating war crimes committed against the Iraqi and Syrian people, an investigation leading not only into Turkey and the EU but into Israel as well.
Wikipedia has sought to smear the Parliament and its members through what by its own standards is considered an outrageous article. Tracing the authorship of the Wikipedia “editor” involved also led to the source of the death threats as well, IP addresses operating from Haifa, Israel.
The same bank of IP address is also the root source for endless “sockpuppet” pro-Israeli “trolls” and nearly a dozen new “alternative news” sites, some tied to the InfoWars group, believed to be an Israeli intelligence front tied to the Canadian based Bronfman Cartel.
The hand of ISIS, albeit Haifa and Tel Aviv based, was busy recently with wild conspiracy claims of either the death or overthrow by coup of President Putin. Immediately after those rumors were put to rest, stories from the same sources were then circulated citing that the Russian government had been moved to nuclear bunkers after an attempted coup in the United States.
The idea is simple, keep a continual narrative of disinformation going, coordinating the wild conspiracy theories of the controlled alternative media with the wild conspiracy theories that now pass for news in the mainstream media.
Bigger than Thought
What has been discovered is not just a group of miscreant housewives living their sexual frustration on the internet under the auspices of a government financed terrorist support program.
The money, the message and the players go further afield than initially believed. Sources inside Nigeria have confirmed that an international organization with access to cash and highly sophisticated communications equipment, not unlike that used by Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World in its blackmail of British police and intelligence officials, is being used there in support of Boko Harum.
An outside spy agency operating in Nigeria has been bribing and blackmailing elected officials and providing Boko Harum with advance knowledge of military actions against them.
The same group may well have orchestrated the shootdown of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over the Ukraine, supplying advanced radar spoofing equipment to hide the identity of the real aircraft involved. Considering the capabilities of these modules, the ability to hide type of aircraft, position, altitude, speed and origin, the plane involved could have originated anywhere and been of any type.
The story is the same, use of advanced military and intelligence capability followed by “spin” using planted stories, phony leaked intelligence, doctored photographs, wild conspiracies now so quickly accepted by the mainstream media.
We have now established a recognizable pattern, signs that a merry band of the “usual suspects,” a veritable traveling circus, is orchestrating events. Despite their training, the obvious massive funding and advanced equipment, despite the ability to plant stories in the media, those who deem themselves “Masters of the Universe” do err from time to time. The Paris “Charlie” attacks is a glaring example.
Numerous sources confirm that he Charlie attacks and the subsequent hijacking of the aftermath by the unwanted guest of all time, Benjamin Netanyahu, was an Israeli operation intended to help provide cover for the rigged Israeli elections.
Yes, when vote results differ from exit polls, you have a rigged election. Gambling boss Sheldon Adelson was willing to spend up to $100 million to guarantee Netanyahu’s continued rule over Israel. Without his status as a world leader, Netanyahu would be far less effective not only as a “handler” for espionage rings operating against the United States but as a direct representative of Adelson’s gambling empire in Japan and around the world.
The “Charlie” attacks were simply a favor for Netanyahu, a few phony videos, the murder of a French police official who got too close to the truth, that and the obscene circus, another case of the perpetrator mourning the victims.
This week, President Obama indicated a change in the US relationship with Israel. Statements made by Netanyahu involving a Palestinian solution, wildly differing statements, has permanently burned any relationship between Israel and the Obama presidency.
Sources indicate that not only is Obama considering backing a UN resolution for a “two state solution” in Palestine, he is also considering having Israel named “an illegal nuclear state” as well. This designation, long backed by US security assessments, requires no legislative approval but immediately triggers laws requiring broad sanctions including freezing accounts, ending foreign aid and placing many key Israeli leaders on “ban” lists.
Both American and UN nuclear non-proliferation organizations have established that Israel is the world’s most blatant trafficker in illegal highly enriched uranium and restricted processing equipment.
What parallels this is the cooling in relations between the Russian Federation and Israel. US backing of the Kiev junta and the propaganda war against not only Russia but the endless personal attacks against President Putin originate from Israel or press organizations long recognized as Israeli controlled.
Thus, at a time when the US seems to softening its position on Syria and the removal of President Assad, both Russia and the US have become increasingly suspicious of Israeli interference in their domestic political affairs.
Part and parcel to this, as an adjunct to the seemingly endless stream of press hoaxes, Syrian “no fly zones” or the missile attack on MH17, is that other trail, arms to ISIS, jihadists on a “magic carpet” to Mosul and, of course, Wikipedia and the “Tel Aviv troll brigade,” all telling the same story. The trail leads to Israel.

Intermittent pneumatic compression will affect the arterial blood flow in the lower limb at moderate pressure, without requiring dependency.
Vascular ultrasound unit of a university hospital.
A volunteer sample of 19 healthy subjects without symptoms or history of vascular disease and 17 patients with peripheral arterial disease were studied. Six patients and 1 healthy volunteer were not included in the study group because of measurement difficulties or refusal when approached.
Common femoral artery blood flow velocities were measured with Doppler ultrasound during 10 minutes of intermittent compression of the calf and thigh at 60 mm Hg, while the subject was supine. The data were collected every 5 seconds from 4 minutes before to 4 minutes after the therapy period, and toe temperatures were also measured with an infrared radiometer.
Main Outcome Measures
Resting to postcompression percentage increases in flow velocity were measured, along with more representative measures of the total flow change during the intermittent compression period.
On compression, the blood flow velocity decreased slightly (15% in healthy subjects and 6% in patients) and increased on release (21% and 29%, respectively). Overall, blood flow did not decrease during therapy as expected (increases of 1% and 2%, respectively), and the toes of the patients warmed (by 2.2°C).
This work confirms the initial hypothesis in both subject groups. There appears to be physiological justification for investigating intermittent compression as a therapy for patients with intermittent claudication and rest pain in the supine position as well as seated.
INTERMITTENT PNEUMATIC compression of the lower limbs is an accepted method of prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis1- 4 and lymphedema control.5- 8 The earliest use of the therapy, however, was in treating arterial insufficiency, with apparent improvement in intermittent claudication, rest pain, ulcers, and gangrene.9- 11 Anecdotal clinical evidence was not sufficient to gain the method widespread acceptance in recent times, although more objective observations and results have since been published.12,13 In recent decades, investigations have also found that intermittent compression of the calf or foot can produce acute increases in arterial inflow to a limb.14- 23 Most research was on foot15- 17,19- 23 or calf18- 22 compression, typically at pressures of 100 to 120 mm Hg. Increases in blood flow were measured when the subjects were seated with calves dependent (hanging down, and not outstretched and supported)14- 23; supine or prone positions were determined to be less effective or ineffective.
If intermittent compression is to be used as a therapy for home use, it must be comfortable to ensure patient compliance, which has been reported as a problem with rapidly inflating, high-pressure foot compression in prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis.24 Since lesions associated with peripheral arterial insufficiency also often occur on the feet, we investigated thigh and calf intermittent compression, with moderate inflation times, and a lower pressure (60 mm Hg). Although thigh compression has not proved popular with other investigators in this area, our preliminary investigations have shown that, in combination with calf compression, it has a greater effect on arterial hemodynamics than calf compression alone.25 Thigh-length cuffs are also the standard in many hospitals for prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis, and because the ischemia occurring in intermittent claudication after exercise will affect all of the limb, it would seem logical to attempt to maximize any effect of intermittent compression by covering with the cuff as much of the muscle as possible.
Dependency has been assumed to be a condition for a compression cuff to increase blood flow effectively, but this might not be practicable for all patients, and with use of a thigh cuff, dependency of the whole limb (rather than seated with only the calves dependent) for long periods would be uncomfortable. By keeping subjects supine, we aimed to test, with Doppler ultrasound, whether any increase in blood flow velocity could be discerned in conditions that previous studies would predict were inadequate but would be applicable to a greater range of potential users.
There are, broadly, 2 different patient groups that might benefit from a passive therapy to increase arterial blood flow. First, there are those with serious arterial disease (ie, rest pain, diabetic ulcers, or gangrenous changes), for whom surgery is inappropriate or has not yielded optimal results. Second, there is the milder group, with intermittent claudication, where surgery would not yet be indicated but whose lifestyle is significantly impaired. We chose this second group for this trial, since poor compliance with exercise therapy has been demonstrated, especially when unsupervised, even though it is generally accepted as beneficial.26,27 Intermittent compression—a "passive exercise"—can be used at home without supervision, requires no effort by the patient, and is well tolerated; if compliance were to become an issue, recording devices could easily be installed in the pump to monitor use. Only among the second group has intermittent compression recently been shown to be clinically effective,13 and any hemodynamic investigation of a system must acknowledge that it has potential only if clinical improvements can be demonstrated.
Nineteen healthy volunteers and 17 patients with peripheral arterial disease were studied. Each of the volunteers (mean age, 34 years; SD, 11 years) had ankle-brachial pressure indexes measured (mean, 1.2; SD, 0.2; minimum, 1.0; maximum, 1.6), and details about general health were collected. The patients were recruited from among the outpatients of the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, who were sent for investigations of peripheral arterial disease (mean age, 65 years; SD, 11 years). Informed consent was given by each subject, and the research was approved by the Bro Taf local research ethics committee.
The patients selected for the study were those with symptoms of intermittent claudication, whose routine color flow Doppler ultrasound scans, performed by experienced clinical scientists, showed evidence of significant stenoses, occlusion, or general calcification of the arteries of one or both limbs. Fourteen of the 17 patients had ankle-brachial indexes less than 1.0 (mean for the whole group, 0.7; SD, 0.3; minimum, 0.3; maximum, 1.3), 8 had an occlusion or stenosis of the superficial or common femoral arteries or in the adductor region, and 6 had an occlusion of the external or common iliac arteries. All subjects were male, were nondiabetic, and had no heart conditions or previous arterial grafts. An additional 6 patients and 1 healthy volunteer were approached to take part in the study; 2 patients declined, 1 patient and 1 volunteer were withdrawn because of venous signals disrupting the arterial velocity measurement, and 3 patients were withdrawn with irregular heartbeats, which prevented the equipment from calculating cycle-dependent indexes derived from the velocity measurements.
Subjects rested in a supine position with heads slightly raised on pillows for 10 minutes, and then the temperatures of the big toe and thigh of the limb under investigation were measured with an infrared radiometer. Changes in the temperature of the toes could indicate whether increases or decreases in the inflow to the limb were affecting blood flow in the tissue of the most distal parts.28- 30 When a patient had bilateral disease, the limb with the lowest ankle arterial blood pressure was chosen. The subjects were fitted with thigh and calf cuffs (DVT-30; Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd, Luton, England), and a blanket was placed over the legs to prevent cooling when trousers were removed. A 4-MHz probe of a Doppler frequency spectrum analysis system (QVL-120; SciMed Ltd, Bristol, England) was held over the common femoral artery of the subject (the site determined by the best obtainable signal) while fixed in a block of expanded polystyrene to hold it at a constant angle (so that the measured frequency change would be proportional to volume flow rate, if there was no change in the vessel diameter). The common femoral was chosen as the major supply artery of lower limb, and for the ease of access for scanning in the supine position.
For 18 minutes the time-averaged mean (a continuously calculated moving average of 3 cardiac cycles) of the maximum frequency change was recorded every 5 seconds. After 4 minutes, an air pump was activated for 10 minutes to inflate the cuffs to 60 mm Hg for periods of 10 seconds, with 50 seconds deflated. The skin temperatures were measured again at the conclusion of the test.
Common femoral arterial diameters were additionally measured with a duplex ultrasound system (Powervision 7000; Toshiba Medical Systems Ltd, West Sussex, England) in a subset of 9 of the healthy volunteers before, during, and after compression at 60 mm Hg to determine whether any changes in flow velocity would similarly affect the cross-sectional area of the vessel.
To assess objectively the changes in blood flow, a mathematical index was developed. The fraction of blood flow lost or gained by intermittent compression (the "fractional change") was calculated by creating a theoretical "baseline" flow during the intermittent compression period, ie, the blood flow there would have been had the pump not been operated. A line was extrapolated for the period, the first point being the mean frequency change value for the initial resting period, and the second point, the mean for the final resting period (Figure 1). The area under the theoretical baseline (T) was subtracted from the area under the actual curve of each test (A), and the total was divided by T to give the fractional change.
The average response of both groups is displayed in Figure 2 and Figure 3. The data from individual responses were normalized by dividing the values by the mean value of the 2 minutes immediately before the activation of the pump (considered the baseline) and then averaged. The absolute value of frequency changes recorded depended on many factors, including probe position and individual anatomy and physiology; therefore, direct comparisons between subjects were unhelpful. Since frequency changes were proportional to blood flow velocity, and no flow disturbances were detected, and since measurements showed that the common femoral artery diameter did not change during inflation and deflation (median diameter during compression, 100% of resting diameter [to nearest 1%]; interquartile range, 99% to 102%; difference [during − resting], z = −0.09, P = .93 [Wilcoxon, 2-tailed]; median diameter after compression, 99% of resting diameter [to nearest 1%]; interquartile range, 99% to 100%; difference [after − resting], z = −0.93, P = .35 [Wilcoxon, 2-tailed]), it is reasonable to consider changes in frequency to represent changes in blood volume flow rate.
During compression, particularly in the healthy volunteers, a small reduction in flow was observed, which occurred normally within a single cardiac cycle of the inflation of the cuff. This was associated with a change in the frequency spectrum pulse shape, with the second, readdr-flow phase increasing in magnitude, indicating an increase in peripheral resistance (Figure 4A). On release, the flow increased substantially in both groups, and hyperemia persisted for up to 40 seconds (Figure 4B). Apart from a general amplitude increase, this was characterized by the abolition, or diminution, of the second (reverse flow) phase of the pulse velocity profile, characteristic of peripheral vasodilation.
An impression of the magnitude of the changes could be gained by comparing the time-averaged means of the maximum frequency change for each of the 10-second periods immediately before, during, and immediately after compression. Percentage changes compared with a baseline (the 10 seconds before compression) were calculated for each compression for each subject, and then averaged to give a median of −15% during compression (mean, −17%; interquartile range, −25% to −10%) and +21% on deflation (mean, +29%; interquartile range, +17% to +26%) in the healthy volunteers. For the patients with peripheral arterial disease, the equivalent values were −6% (mean, 0%; interquartile range, −9% to +7%) during compression and +29% (mean, +43%; interquartile range, +15% to +54%) after compression. A comparison of those percentage changes during compression showed a significant difference between healthy subjects and patients (Mann-Whitney test, z = −3.68, 1-tailed P<.001), but much less significance in the difference between the percentage increases on release of compression (Mann-Whitney test, z = −0.40, 1-tailed P = .35).
The acute changes in flow were obvious; however, it had been assumed previously, after both arterial and venous occlusion, that the succeeding hyperemia would not compensate for the flow "lost" during compression.31 The median fractional change for the healthy volunteers was +0.01 (mean, +0.03; interquartile range, −0.05 to +0.10), and for patients it was +0.02 (mean, +0.04; interquartile range, 0.00 to +0.07). Both indicated slightly more blood flow than would have been expected had no intermittent compression taken place (ie, +1% and +2%, respectively). The patient figure was higher, although there was no statistically significant difference (Mann-Whitney test, z = −0.78, 1-tailed P = .22). When only patients with ankle-brachial pressure indexes less than 1.0 were considered, median fractional change was still +0.02 (mean, +0.04; interquartile range, −0.01 to +0.07).
The median change in toe and thigh skin temperatures for the patients was also higher: volunteer thigh, −1.1°C (mean, −1.0°C; interquartile range, −1.8°C to +0.1°C); volunteer toe, −0.1°C (mean, −0.3°C; interquartile range, −0.9°C to +0.7°C); patient thigh, +0.9°C (mean, +1.0°C; interquartile range, −0.5°C to +1.4°C); and patient toe, +2.2°C (mean, +2.7°C; interquartile range, +0.8°C to +4.2°C); the difference between the patient and normal responses reached the 1% significance level at both sites (Mann-Whitney test; thigh, z = −3.00, 2-tailed P = .003; toe, z = −3.57, 2-tailed P<.001). In 7 of the patients, a cuff was placed on the contralateral limb but left uninflated throughout the test, with the same temperature measurements taken. In the toes of the treated limb, the median temperature change was +1.4°C (mean, +1.6°C; interquartile range, +0.2°C to +2.2°C), and in the untreated limb, −0.4°C (mean, −0.6°C; interquartile range, −1.2°C to +0.1°C). The thigh changes were +1.0°C (mean, +1.4°C; interquartile range, +0.5°C to +2.3°C) for the treated limb and −0.6°C (mean, −0.9°C; interquartile range, −1.7°C to −0.1°C) for the untreated limb. The difference in the toe changes (Wilcoxon test, z = −1.86, 1-tailed P = .03) and thigh changes (Wilcoxon test, z = −2.20, 1-tailed P = .01) was significant.
Surgical procedures or a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or stent will remain, for many patients, the best hope of overcoming lower limb arterial insufficiency. However, in patients in whom successful surgery is difficult, because of previous revascularization, graft infections, or unsuitable sites for anastomosis,18 or those whose disease is not yet advanced enough for surgery, therapeutic methods of increasing the flow to the limb will have a place. A common therapy recommended to such patients is exercise, which is thought to enhance peripheral circulation in addition to improving the biomechanical efficiency of walking.26 However, while exercise has been shown to be effective, consistent compliance is an issue and many patients, particularly the elderly, are unable to exercise regularly because of social, physical, and environmental conditions
Since as early as the 1930s, intermittent pneumatic compression has been suggested as the solution. The initial idea was that periods of compression of the veins result in the accumulation of metabolic products in tissue, and this would effect an increase in blood flow on release.9- 11 Cycles of increased flow over time would produce improvements in the peripheral circulation and healing of skin lesions. However, at the time, there were no direct noninvasive methods of measuring blood flow, and the method fell out of favor.
The more recent revival of interest in the therapy, using radionuclide and Doppler methods of assessing blood flow, has concentrated on a different possible cause of the flow increase.14- 23 When the lower limbs are dependent, the hydrostatic pressure in the arteries and veins of the feet is high. Compression of the veins will reduce their pressure as they empty and temporarily increase the arteriovenous pressure gradient and, therefore, the volume flow rate. Some have also suggested that liberation of nitric oxide because of flow or pressure changes in veins could cause dilation in arterioles.16,18- 23
This study demonstrates that, while all recent work has involved dependent limbs, increases in arterial inflow are observed when subjects are supine. The mechanism of the increases in flow recorded in the past cannot then be wholly due to the increased hydrostatic pressure. Peripheral vasodilation is more likely, since the observed changes in the velocity profile were consistent with a reduction in vascular resistance. Even though dependent limbs might produce apparently large increases in flow compared with the baseline on the release of compression, the normal venoarteriolar reflex will reduce that overall baseline blood flow to the limb,32 so that the "gains" of hyperemia will be negated by the general reduction. While the reflex constriction may be diminished (although not abolished17) in patients with arterial disease, a supine therapy could ensure the maximal blood flow to the limb. The necessity for dependency effectively ensures that thigh compression cannot be used, as standing or perching to keep the whole limb dependent would not be comfortable for a long-term therapy. The results of this research could give more options to clinicians to find the most effective and comfortable therapy for a particular patient.
The methods of analyzing the response of blood flow to intermittent compression in this study are different from those in other publications. Previously, samples of the flow velocity, volume flow rate, or laser Doppler flux would be taken over a few cardiac cycles before, during, and after a period of intermittent compression.17- 19,21,23 The mean value during the therapy can then be compared with the resting value before therapy, yielding a "percentage increase" in flow. However, it has never been made clear in previous investigations where in the intermittent compression cycle the samples were taken. If, for instance the samples were taken from the data set that produced Figure 3, and had been taken at the points labeled a, a 40% increase in blood flow during intermittent compression could have been reported, giving the false impression that there was 40% more blood flowing in the arteries during that period. Samples could as well have been taken at points labeled b and yielded a 10% reduction. The problem is essentially one of aliasing—the sample rate must be at least twice the frequency of the compression cycle to ensure clarity in the results. In the example given, the intermittent compression has a frequency of 10 cycles per 10 minutes, but the sampling is only at a rate of 3 per 10 minutes—it would need to be more than 20. We believe that our method, based on the area under the curve during intermittent compression, gives a true picture that cannot be misunderstood, and that sampling at constant short intervals during the whole period of intermittent compression has allowed the most objective analysis possible.
The flow after compression releases is high (Figure 2 and Figure 3) but decreases soon afterward, and in theory could reach levels below the baseline, leading to no net increase in flow at all during the therapy period. While episodes of high velocity flow may be important to improve collateral circulation, it must be shown that the overall effect of intermittent compression is not to reduce flow, particularly in those whose blood supply is initially compromised. These results show that there is no net reduction in flow; indeed, there is a slight increase with this regimen.
The evidence that the toes of the patients warmed during the procedure suggests that intermittent compression will indeed promote increased flow distal to the site of compression in those in whom the normal flow in insufficient. We therefore conclude that intermittent compression has potential as a therapy for lower limb arterial disease and does not require dependency or rapid inflation to high pressures.

The 11th annual extravaganza this year focused on “Visionary Impression,” but that wasn’t the only type of art on display. The arts at Marist also encompass humor, dance, and music. All were on display for students, family, friends, alumni, and the public.
Ask Ryan Williams, 18, of Roselle, who’s been honing his ukulele skills since freshman year at Marist.
“I think it’s great,” he said of the festival. “It’s an opportunity for a lot of students who have talents to display them. I think it’s great that a lot of students come up to me to say they didn’t know I played, and that they liked the way I played.”
“It’s an opportunity for a lot of students who have talents to display them.” – Ryan Williams
Of course there was traditional art as well, and Jose Olona, 19, of Bayonne and Chalena DeJesus of Jersey City had larger-than-life-size pieces on display.
Olona displayed an abstract depiction of a friend that took one and a half months to complete. Taller than he is, it’s the first thing you see when you enter the gymnasium, where the festival was held.
DeJesus explained the intricate creative process, which included color and computer graphics.
Zyneira Williams, 17, and Judy Muhia, 18, of Jersey City, created something out of the box and had fun doing it. The two combined on a portrait of Aaliyah, the pop star who died tragically in a plane crash in 2001. But they didn’t do it with paints. They drew the late singer’s face on a board and then filled it in with pushpins.
Leaders of the pack
Carolynn John, Fine and Performing Arts Department chair, and Brother Bob Warren, graphic design teacher, were largely responsible for motivating the students.
Both encourage the students to express themselves in any creative way possible, often challenging them to succeed beyond what they thought was possible.
“She gets things out of the kids that they can’t believe was inside them,” said Principal Alice Miesnik of Carolynn John. “She gives birth to talent year after year. And she doesn’t accept mediocrity.”
She has obvious pride in the students. “We’re proud of them,” Miesnik said. “We enjoy watching their passion. It warms the heart to see the kids love this enough to put the work into it.”

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has signed a request to join 15 UN agencies and international treaties, in a move that could derail a US push to revive faltering peace talks with Israel.
Mr Abbas made the surprise announcement on television at a meeting of the Palestine Liberation Organisation action committee.
He said the Palestinian leadership had unanimously approved the decision, and the demands would be sent immediately to the relevant agencies.
The Palestinians had agreed to refrain from seeking membership of international bodies, and from pursuing legal action against Israel, during the nine months of talks launched by US secretary of state John Kerry in July.
In the aftermath of Mr Abbas's statement, Mr Kerry cancelled a trip to the region which had been scheduled to begin later today.
The US had hoped Mr Kerry's visit would result in a three-way deal aimed at extending the negotiations into 2015.
Announcing the decision, Mr Abbas accused Israel of "playing games" and procrastinating in the peace talks, after it failed to go ahead with a scheduled release of long-term Palestinian prisoners last weekend.
"We are not doing this against America, but we still don't see other ways forward," Mr Abbas said before signing the papers.
But precise details of what he had signed were not given.
"We don't see any reason not to go and sign these agreements, with the knowledge that we are on the path to reaching an agreement through talks and through peaceful popular resistance," Mr Abbas added.

Leading the Way
Two preeminent spokesmen for the Electric Universe, Wallace Thornhill and David Talbott, will present at EU2014, each adding powerful new material. Watch as the Speaker’s List builds over the coming weeks with terrific newcomers as well as a full complement of Thunderbolts mainstays. Of particular note, Dr. Donald Scott will be joining us again as he did in EU2012, this time with a talk on a new model of magnetic structure in space.
Wallace Thornhill will deliver two presentations at EU2014. In his first talk, he will ask how scientists recognize evidence. The Electric Universe recognizes evidence sifted forensically from all disciplines and astronomical records stretching back thousands of years. Wal will contrast this with the tunnel vision of today’s specialists, who are not trained to see any relevance of other disciplines or to refer to observations more than a few years old. The contrast between the two approaches is to be seen in the great scientific surprises of the past few decades. Why were these discoveries so shocking to scientists? And when seen from an electrical perspective, why are they so predictable?
In his second talk, Wal will look critically at the assumptions behind the recent MAVEN Mars Probe (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission.) The probe, NASA says, will seek to measure the loss of volatiles from the Martian atmosphere in order to draw conclusions about the planet’s remote past. He will remind us that all of the scientific objectives of the MAVEN Mission were developed under standard assumptions about a 4 billion-year old solar system. What’s more, Wal will show how, under the inertia of belief systems, evidence can be distorted or ignored and will contrast this with the rapidly accumulating evidence for a highly catastrophic and recent history of Mars.
A physicist and natural philosopher, Wallace Thornhill has spent decades questioning popular ideas about the physical world. In the past 16 years, standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, he has laid an interdisciplinary foundation for the Electric Universe paradigm. His first peer-reviewed paper on the electrical nature of stars and supernovae was published in the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, Vol 35 No. 4, Special Issue on Space & Cosmic Plasmas – August 2007.
Wal is the Chief Science Advisor to The Thunderbolts ProjectTM and is co-author with David Talbott of Thunderbolts of the Gods and The Electric Universe. In 2010 he was was awarded a gold medal by the European Telesio-Galilei Academy of Science. For his lifelong contribution to science he received the distinguished Sagnac Award from the Natural Philosophy Alliance in 2013. He has spoken at numerous international conferences, and authored or co-authored papers ranging from the Martian “blueberry” phenomenon to the “plasma focus” at the centers of galaxies. His interviews for “Space News from the Electric Universe” have been among the most popular attractions on the YouTube Thunderbolts Channel.
David Talbott will present two talks at EU2014 previewing Episodes 4 and 5 of the Symbols of an Alien Sky series. The centerpiece of this presentation will be the cosmic thunderbolt and its integral relationship to hundreds of ancient archetypes.
David Talbott is the founder and director of The Thunderbolts ProjectTM. His book The Saturn Myth (1980) helped to inspire the work of several others now joined in this collaborative project. In 1996 his work was the subject of a documentary Remembering the End of the World by Canadian filmmaker Ben Ged Low. More recently, he was the co-author with Australian physicist Wallace Thornhill, of two books, Thunderbolts of the Gods and The Electric Universe. Three episodes of his documentary series (full or in part) have been among the most popular video presentations on the Thunderbolts Project YouTube Channel.
In the year 2000, David Talbott’s representations of the ancient sky, based on the global accord of early cultures, inspired an intense investigation of ancient rock art by the leading plasma scientist Anthony Peratt of Los Alamos Laboratories. After several years of entering data into the Roadrunner computer at Los Alamos (largest in the world), Peratt concluded that the reconstruction was fundamentally accurate, depicting intensely energetic electric discharge formations close to the earth.
DONALD SCOTT, PhD
A New Model of Magnetic Structure in Space
Dr. Donald Scott will describe his investigation of the inherent properties of Birkeland currents and subsequent discovery that they produce unexpectedly far-reaching magnetic fields in cosmic space. These fields collect matter and compress it into concentric hollow cylinders. They also produce a long-range attractive force on other such currents. Without involving mathematics, Scott describes the results of his analysis of the magnetic structures that are produced by, and that surround, Birkeland Currents. This work and its results gives new insight into our understanding of the electrical properties of space.
Dr. Scott earned his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. He earned a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Massachusetts, and was a member of the faculty of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst from 1959 until his retirement in 1998. During that time he was the recipient of several good-teaching awards and authored numerous scientific papers and chapters. In 1987, the McGraw-Hill Book Company published his 730-page textbook, An Introduction To Circuit Analysis – A Systems Approach. In addition, Dr. Scott published the classic, Electric Sky (2006), 256 pages of compelling material on the Electric Universe and plasma cosmology.
The Reality of Long Range Weather and Climate Forecasting: The Need for an Electromagnetic Approach
Piers Corbyn plans to describe the failure of standard meteorology (SM) in outlook, theory, and practice. He will include: signals in real meteorology data unexplained by SM; real role of jet stream, stratosphere, electro-jets, magnetosphere, solar wind, solar corona, and the Moon; the total inability of SM to explain: sudden stratospheric warmings and its consequences, tropical storm intensifications, angular momentum concentration in tornadoes; and the need for something else such as electromagnetic plasma explanations; the theoretical basis of non-standard long range weather forecasting on a real planet; a summary on his WeatherAction forecasting skill and examples; and the future of forecasting and meteorology, climate ‘science’ and science in general.
Piers Corbyn began recording weather and climate patterns at the age of five, constructing his own observation equipment. He obtained a first-class honors degree in physics at Imperial College London. In 1969, he became the first president of the Imperial College Students’ Union to be directly elected by the student body. He later studied astrophysics in 1979 at Queen Mary College, London, and then began examining the relationship between Earth’s weather and climate and solar activity. Following many years of weather prediction as an occupation, Piers formed WeatherAction in 1995, where he sells web-accessible long-range monthly forecasts for Britain and Ireland, Europe, and the USA plus special forecasts of ‘Red Weather periods’ and related increases in thunder/tornado and earthquake risk.
PIERRE LATOUR, PhD
Engineering Earth’s Thermostat with CO2?
In Dr. Latour’s presentation, physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, economics, history and ethics are deployed to identify the barriers to designing the thermostat to control Earth’s atmospheric temperature by adjusting its CO2 input. He will explains that Earth’s temperature is a chemical process system. Review of control system engineering of Earth’s thermostat with anthropogenic CO2 in 1997 proved it will never work because it is an unmeasurable, unobservable and uncontrollable system. CO2 does not affect temperature; temperature affects CO2. There are no greenhouse gases in physics. CO2 is not a pollutant; it is green plant food. He will go on to explain that people have beliefs and knowledge. Knowledge of nature is discovered by the scientific method: theory in the language of nature (mathematics), prediction and verification. Such discoveries are held to be true until falsified. Dr. Latour offers claims supported by credible evidence, settled science and warrants how one can know that they are true. Sound engineering requires no less.
Dr. Pierre Latour is a Chemical Engineer, Vice-Chairman, Principia-Scientific International and consultant for identifying, capturing and sustaining measurable benefits from process control, IT and CIM in the HPI by proper determination of operating conditions and the financial benefit of dynamic performance to support licensing solutions based on value-added, shared-risk shared-reward (SR2) business alliances. Justified and installed advanced process control on most oil refinery and petrochemical processes for 62 clients worldwide since 1966. Greenhouse Gas Theory skeptic: CO2 induced global warming and climate change. In addition, Dr. Latour is the Vice President of business development, marketing, engineering, projects and consulting at AspenTech, Dynamic Matrix Control Corp, Setpoint and Biles & Assoc.

REV. ROBERT L. STRAITT, PhD, CEM
Climate Change Against the Shadow of Global Warming
Dr. Robert Straitt believes that for over twenty years the scientific and political communities have been advising us about the ramifications of “Global Warming.” Some critics would say that it has become the new religion of environmentalists, politicians, and entrepreneurs worldwide; affecting our pocketbooks while the real effects of climate change continue to reshape our future. For thousands of years, civilizations have risen and fallen around the earth. Often these civilizations disappear in an instant, leaving only the most subtle traces. Climate and/or geophysical change have been repeatedly noted as a primary factor in the rise and fall of many of these civilizations. This conference will explore many of the geophysical and geomagnetic influences associated with changing climate patterns. Dr Straitt will describe one of these challenges: merging the experiences of our ancestors with the revelations of modern technology and social science, preparing ourselves for ongoing changes to our biosphere.
For the last forty years, Dr. Straitt’s vocation has been analyzing and understanding the human experience, from the decoding of ancient techno-social systems to development of some of todays most advanced technologies working with and managing teams from MIT Lincoln Labs, IBM, Oregon Graduate Institute, University of Corsica, IEEE Computer Society Software Engineering Standards Committee, Arkansas State University, and the University Of New Hampshire Department Of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Straitt is an award Winning Certified Energy Manager and is currently conducting privately funded research to better understand the meaning of sustainable design and technology from the end-user perspective. He is a National Science Foundation Infinity Scholar, member of Phi Theta Kappa, and holder of the Joint Service Commendation Medal. He holds degrees in Anthropology of Religion, Liberal Studies (Natural Science and Society), Wind Turbine Technology, Criminal Justice, Theology, and Administrative Management, as well as, numerous technical certificates.
GARY SCHWARTZ, PhD
Extraordinary Ideas and Extraordinary Evidence: The Five Finger Test
It seems that almost everyone today holds claim to a secret idea or “new theory.” But when is a theoretical novelty really worth exploring? Many aspiring innovators feel they’ve been unfairly ignored or cheated in some way, and no doubt one could find many instances justifying this perception. But what is the proper way forward when an idea grabs hold of an individual and won’t let him go. What is the role of factual evidence? Dr. Gary Schwartz will take up the acid tests of extraordinary claims – what he calls the “Five Finger Test” (FFT) – with an emphasis on original and groundbreaking experiments. He will use as an exemplar his research testing certain claims in parapsychology, and then applying the FFT to the Electric Universe hypothesis.
Dr. Gary Schwartz is a professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry and surgery at the University of Arizona and director of its Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health. He is also Chairman of Eternea (www.eternea.org). He received his doctorate from Harvard University and has served as professor of psychology and psychiatry at Yale University, director of the Yale Psychophysiology Center and co-director of the Yale Behavioral Clinic.
Revisiting Peratt’s Galaxy Simulation
In the mid 1950’s, Winston Bostick performed high energy plasma experiments at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. He vaporized two titanium wires and created two high velocity plasmoids. Bostick noticed the interaction of these plasmoids created spiral shapes similar to galaxies in various stages of formation. In 1991 Dr. Anthony Peratt used a supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratories to simulate Bostick’s plasmoid experiments. Dr. Peratt published his results in his seminal book Physics in a Plasma Universe.
In Peratt’s book are 18 images showing two plasmoids evolving into a spiral galaxy. Often these images are presented as evidence that galaxies can be created with what is known about plasma. These images were created over 23 years ago. Given advances in computer speed and memory, we should be able to recreate this simulation on our cell phones. Recently, James Sorensen began work to recreate Anthony Peratt’s computer simulation. He will be updating us on the status of this project.
James is an electrical and software engineer and a long-time supporter of the Electric Universe concept, who enjoys speaking to groups about recent developments in complex scientific theories. He makes the complex understandable for an audience that is scientifically curious but not necessarily steeped in the sciences.
Can a Solellus, or electrically-driven, miniature Sun in the laboratory, answer the longstanding mysteries of the solar atmosphere? After funding was secured, work began on the SAFIRE Project last May to find out. After many months of planning, preliminary testing began in January at a professional lab in Canada. A team of experts and a videographer are working under Lead Scientist and Program Manager, Montgomery Childs, who will provide an update on SAFIRE at the conference. Specifically, he will review the results of these first tests and provide a preview of what will likely follow in the larger, more developed experiment.
Monty is the author of three college engineering text books and holds eight international technical patents. He was lead design engineer of the Canadian National Research Council for Rocket Design to measure for oxygen in the upper atmosphere. He is now the Lead Scientist and Program Manager for the SAFIRE Project.
MICHAEL CLARAGE, PhD
Understanding the Electric Sun Model
SAFIRE is an experiment to explore possible electrical attributes of the Sun. The project will first consider the model of the Electric Sun (ES), as put forward by Wal Thornhill, Don Scott, and Ralph Jeurgens. The ES model suggests: 1) That all stars, the Sun included, are electrical in nature and exist in a galactic electrical environment; 2) Some of the physical attributes of the Sun and its Corona are not explicable through the standard fusion model originated by Hans Bethe in 1938; and 3) Many of these anomalous Solar attributes can be explained by assuming the Sun is at different electrical potential than its surroundings.
The basic approach is to create an environment as similar as possible to the conditions of the Sun and to assumed conditions of the ES model. Known anomalous characteristics of the Sun and Corona can then be correlated with measurements from SAFIRE. It is also possible that the project could dispel some long-held assumptions of mainstream Solar Physics, such as “Electric fields do not exist in Coronal plasmas,” or “Magnetic fields can exist in the vacuum of space without corresponding electric fields.”
Dr. Clarage received his PhD in physics in 1992 from Brandeis University, studying the biological and statistical behavior of proteins. Prior to that, he spent several years studying binary pulsars at the Arecibo radio telescope. With his brother, he gave traveling lectures about their discoveries in the areas of fractional calculus, fractals, and chaotic systems. Over the past 15 years, he has presented public lectures on such topics as Relativity and Dimensions, Metaphysics in Biology, Transformation in Supernova and Metamorphosis in Biology. Dr. Clarage is currently a lead scientist with the SAFIRE Project.
BEN DAVIDSON, JD
The Variable Sun and Its Effects on Earth
The message has been loud and clear for many years—a community of scientists insisting that human activity is warming our planet, taking humanity to the edge of a precipice. But now, as science begins to understand earth’s place in the electric solar system, the meaning of the present warming plateau becomes clearer. The Earth-Sun connection, together with the Sun’s galactic environment, can help to explain climate extremes of every kind. Today, new voices and new perspectives are bridging the theoretical gaps, and independent investigations have reached some startling conclusions. No one can know the future, but some of the electrical changes in our solar system could point to catastrophic change on the horizon.
Ben Davidson is the researcher behind the Suspicious0bserver channel on YouTube, a channel that has rocketed in only 2 years to over 28 million views with 2 million added a month. Ben was classically trained in law and legal research, before taking up independent research in diverse sciences. His online presence has been a constant source of data dissemination, inspiring public interest in a variety of scientific fields, including the ‘electric universe’ theories. Ben focuses on the daily solar environment and the electromagnetic interactions between the sun, earth, and the galaxy. It was this interdisciplinary “due diligence” that led him to the surprising conclusions he will present at the conference.
LOWELL MORGAN, PhD
The Physics of Plasmas
Dr. Lowell Morgan will make a presentation on the physics of plasmas as compared with the other states of matter. He will show that measurements are problematic in plasmas because very little can be measured directly. All plasma measurements require physical theory and computer modeling to interpret. As one of the scientists working with the SAFIRE Project team, Lowell will talk about the unique geometry of SAFIRE; the properties of the plasma in its two operating regimes; what data can be collected, such as atomic and molecular spectra; and how useful information can be derived from these data.
Lowell Morgan received a BSE in physics and chemical engineering from the University of Michigan in 1969 and the PhD in physics (laser physics and quantum electrodynamics) from the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada in 1976. He performed post-doctoral research on metal vapor-excimer plasmas in the University of Colorado’s Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) and then returned as a visiting fellow and acting director of the atomic and molecular data center. He was a staff physicist in the Theoretical Atomic & Molecular Physics Group in the laser & weapons programs at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and a lecturer at the University of California, Davis between 1979 and 1987. He founded Kinema Research & Software, LLC in 1987. He has been a visiting scientist/scholar at many distinguished facilities and has published over 80 research articles in the fields of plasma chemistry, laser physics, laser produced plasmas, plasma processing chemistry, plasma spectroscopy, atomic & molecular physics, quantum chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, artificial neural networks, and astrophysics. Current applied experimental R&D includes the SAFIRE Project.
All About Evidence
In our everyday lives, we are required to make innumerable decisions based upon “facts” or things we believe to be true. We assume that science should be consistently factual based upon observational evidence and careful measurement. But what actually happens in the process of gathering evidence, from data selection to theory formulation, reveals that science is a very human enterprise. As such, it is only reasonable that proclamations concerning scientific “fact” be examined with due consideration to underlying assumptions and prejudices. Drawing on his early exposure to the ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky, Daniel will weave a story that connects the controversial author’s ideas to fundamental tenets of the Electric Universe. In this, he will integrate thoughts on the philosophy of science with notes as to how our emotions contribute to theory building. The result is too often selective perception.
Daniel grew up in in rural Michigan, where as a teenager he built a small observatory for his telescope and enjoyed astrophotography. He has a Bachelors degree in philosophy, is a classical musician and composer, and has worked for many years in renewable energy. Like many others, his interest in the electric universe arose from doubts about standard cosmology and planetary science. By following these doubts, he came to see how frequently scientists can mishandle anomalies, often ignoring or attacking those who challenge common suppositions. Additionally, his long interest in ancient history and mythology only added to this perspective. Daniel now resides in Albuquerque and will also be volunteering at the conference.
WILLIAM MULLEN, PhD
Hieroglyphics and the Ancient Sky
Many catastrophist theories use hieroglyphics from around the world for clues about shapes in the ancient sky that are no longer visible. Dr. Mullen’s talk will focus on Egyptian hieroglyphics as relevant to the Saturn and polar configuration theory. By studying those hieroglyphs which bear no obvious resemblance to things seen today, and by reading them in context, he will show which glyphs are the best clues to what our early ancestors experienced.
Dr. Mullen received his BA in Classics from Harvard College in 1968 and his PhD from the University of Texas in 1972. He was a Professor or post-doctoral Fellow at Berkeley, Princeton, Boston University, and Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies and St. John’s College. Dr. Mullen settled in the Classics Department at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in 1985.
The Parallax Effect on Short Hair
Stephen Crothers will present the case that Black Holes and the Big Bang have been created by theorists and never observed. Black Holes are now said to be both invisible and visible. Quasars are now black holes; so are the ‘blazars’. Individual black holes are also alleged x-ray sources. It is claimed that galaxies harbor a super-massive black hole at their centers, along with other black holes dispersed throughout them. All these black holes exist in an alleged expanding big bang universe. However, black hole universes are inconsistent with big bang universes. The audience will be taken through the salient facts one step at a time in this riveting mostly non-mathematical presentation. The math of General Relativity has a notorious reputation for its complexity but most of the important facts can be understood by the layman and specialist alike without any mathematics.
Crothers is a preeminent mathematician, counted among the most competent critics of modern cosmology (including both the General Theory of Relativity and popular theory of the Big Bang). He has also gained much attention for his systematic unraveling of standard Black Hole theory, showing that the mathematical model of a Black Hole follows neither from observation nor from any logical reasoning from Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
JONATHAN WOLFE, PhD
Fractals – Changing Paradigms in Science and Education
Fractals are the strikingly beautiful images of complex and chaotic systems. While they have existed in nature for billions of years, only in the last few decades has modern mathematics and science started to acknowledge their importance. Indeed, fractals have recently transformed our understanding of a wide range of natural phenomena, and fractal math provides a new language for quantifying the patterns of nature. Unfortunately, our educational systems and our culture at large have not yet caught up with this conceptual revolution. As a society, we still try to tackle complex problems with inadequate linear solutions, and we still teach our children simple, boring, and largely irrelevant math skills that fail to serve or inspire them. Explore the exciting new realm of fractals in an engaging interdisciplinary presentation that excites and inspires with new possibilities for understanding the complexity of nature. Covering both the art and science of fractals, we explore the interconnected fractal patterns of nature, seen at scales from the microscopic to the galactic.
Dr. Wolfe is the founder and Executive Director of the Fractal Foundation, a New Mexico nonprofit that uses the beauty of fractals to inspire interest and participation in science, math and art. An artist as well as a scientist, his studies of the neurophysiology of the visual system were inspired by his love of color, form and motion, and now his knowledge of perceptual neuroscience informs his art. His love of fractals continues to spiral upward and outward, reaching ever larger audiences, through public art installations, school presentations, corporate trainings, and full-dome planetarium fractal shows. Since 2003, he has taught over 50,000 children and 25,000 adults the important and inspiring lessons of fractals, chaos and complexity.
PIERRE-MARIE ROBITAILLE, PhD
Pierre-Marie Robitaille, PhD will give two talks at the conference. He is a Professor of Radiology at The Ohio State University, with a joint appointment in Chemical Physics. He initially trained as a spectroscopist and has wide ranging knowledge of instrumentation in the radio and microwave bands. A recognized expert in image acquisition and analysis, Professor Robitaille was responsible for doubling the world record in Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 1998. In 2000, he turned his attention to thermodynamics and astrophysics, demonstrating that the universality advanced in Kirchhoff’s Law of Thermal Emission is invalid. He has published extensively on the microwave background, highlighting that this signal arises from water on the Earth and has no relationship to cosmology and has recently published a paper on the Liquid Metallic Hydrogen Solar Model (LMHSM).
The Sun on Trial: Gaseous Plasma or Liquid Metallic Hydrogen?
For nearly 150 years despite the lack of observational evidence, the Sun has been considered to be a ball of gaseous material. Such a postulate rests on mathematical arguments. Nonetheless, observations, not mathematics, properly determine the phases of matter. In this light, a systematic review of 40 solar findings provides ample proof that the Sun is comprised of condensed matter In this presentation, the phase of the Sun will be discussed by contrasting the gas-based Standard Solar Model (SSM) with the Liquid Metallic Hydrogen Solar Model (LMHSM). Unlike the SSM, the LMHSM does not permit the Sun to radiate internally.
The Microwave Background: Signature of the Big Bang or Essential Signature of the Earth’s Oceans?
Even since Penzias and Wilson discovered that the Earth was surrounded by microwave energy, astronomers have been quick to postulate that the apparent ~3K signal represented the signature of the Big Bang. Yet long ago, Gustav Kirchhoff insisted that the setting of temperatures, using the laws of thermal emission, required enclosure. Clearly, the Big Bang can never meet this requirement. In this presentation, it will be demonstrated that the microwave fields, which surround the earth and have excited distant molecules, can be generated by the hydrogen bond within water in the condensed state. A review of the COBE and WMAP will be presented, revealing that the microwave anisotropy maps have no scientific validity. The data lack both signal to noise and reproducibility. Furthermore, the PLANCK satellite findings will be discussed. These data provide unambiguous evidence that powerful microwave fields do not exist at L2. Penzias and Wilson measured water on Earth. The correct assignment of this signal is vital to better understanding our own planet.
KONGPOP U-YEN, PhD
Evidences of Space Weather Induced Natural Disasters
Strong solar activities have long been known to cause damages to electrical grids and global communication systems. However, there exist several evidences that solar activities have strong correlation with abrupt weather conditions and tectonic activities, including storm formations, flash floods, volcanic activities and earthquakes. In this presentation, case studies of such connections are examined and discussed that are linked to electrical properties of the Earth. Simple electrical theories based on laboratory experiments are presented to explain such phenomena.
Dr. Kongpop U-yen obtained his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. As an electric universe enthusiast, he has conducted an independent research on topics related to space weather and solar activities predictions.
Bob Johnson is an independent researcher with a background in engineering and project management. He is a long-standing supporter of the Plasma Universe paradigm and author of the original outline for the Essential Guide to the Electric Universe. Bob has also written a number of peer-reviewed papers that consider the role of electric charge in various natural phenomena and other related subjects. He will make two presentations at the conference.
Could Electricity Explain Some ‘Known Unknowns’ in Geology?
Geologists don’t always agree! Starting from known areas of disagreement, this talk will consider whether electrical effects can help explain features for which the mainstream geological models offer a variety of different and often contradictory interpretations. By offering a theoretical argument in favor of including electrical effects in geology, this talk complements previous work by others on the application of this idea.
How Do Tall Trees Survive? New Models for the Flow of Sap
The pressures required by the 100-year old hydraulic models of the flow of sap both up and around plants imply, in the words of one researcher, that tall trees must “live at the extreme edge of transport capability.” In this talk, Bob will explain alternative models including the role of electric charge for sap flow in both the phloem and the xylem. Under these models, tall trees may be exploiting their environment rather than struggling against it. Bob’s two papers on this topic can be viewed as follows:
The Electric Weather Effect
The Sun in solar cycle 24 is imposing a new tipping point onto the climate change agenda, informing us it is the real driver of earth’s weather and climate, not CO2. Evidence for the Sun’s electrical and magnetic operation is presented along with how the Sun causes warming and cooling cycles and extreme weather events. Electric weather is caused by the solar flux of electromagnetic sunlight – photons, and the electrical and magnetic interactions of solar wind protons and electrons with the Earth’s magnetosphere and global electric circuit. Weber discusses the solar magnetic cycle, solar flux and solar wind satellite data, planetary and biological reactions to solar and geomagnetic storms, mini-ice age jet stream conditions, and recent successful solar-lunar electric-magnetic based 30-day USA weather predictions by a pioneer in long-range weather and earthquake forecasting, Piers Corbyn.
Bob Weber is an independent researcher with a BSEE from Michigan Technological University, an award-winning audio design engineer, a participant in nature’s fury, with a passion for learning about the sun and the weather, that all led him to the reality of Electric Weather. Bob founded The Electric Weather Channel on YouTube, and is currently constructing a website of same name. Bob’s mission is to produce and disseminate in-depth science videos pertaining to electric weather—the connection between the Sun and the Earth and human responses to solar currents.
MICHAEL H. BRILL, PhD
Ninety-East Ridge: Shoestring of the Gods?
The Ninety-East Ridge, based on the Heezen-Tharp map’s representation of the ridge as straight over its 3000 miles of extent, is a geographic anomaly. To account for this straightness requires a substructure whose material has an unprecedented strength. A dimensional argument concludes that the material must be as much stronger than ordinary rock formations as a thread atop molten congealing wax is stronger than the wax. A candidate material might comprise strands of “bucky-tubes” or related carbon formations born in a chemically reducing environment. Such strands may have accreted in a carbon reservoir, floated to the surface of the Earth’s mantle, become snagged in the Indian continental plate, and then been progressively pulled out of its carbon-reservoir under a string-like tension. Hear Dr. Brill describe his “strong stuff” hypothesis including compelling evidence, which has survived 20 years without refutation.
Dr. Michael Brill is an industrial physicist located near Princeton, New Jersey. Since obtaining his PhD in physics at Syracuse University, he has carried out extensive theoretical research in color in human and computer vision and in physics-based vision. He is co-inventor of the Emmy Award winning Sarnoff vision model. He is also a Past President of the Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC), and author of more than 80 refereed technical publications, 14 US patents, numerous national standards, and a SID test pattern. He has chaired or co-chaired several conferences on color technology, vision, and digital display. Dr. Brill is a member of the Editorial Board of Color Research and Application and is also Senior Editor of Physics Essays.
SURPRISE SPEAKER — “ANONYMOUS”
Wikipedia, We Have a Problem
‘Wikipedia we have a problem’ is the story of ‘The Tumbleman’ – a Wikipedia editor who attempted to edit an article on Wikipedia to a more neutral point of view and received harassment and personal attacks from ‘activist editors’ in the skeptic activist movement, finding himself banned indefinitely from Wikipedia instead. The speaker will tell the lively story of his experience, what was encountered and what followed on Wikipedia because of it.
The speaker will also cover a solution to the problem on Wikipedia. What makes ‘The Tumbleman’ case study unique is that the author is also a developer of a collective editing platform – a unique method of sorting heated discussions online to formulate a true and rational consensus. What causes these sorts of problems to manifest online? How can rational argument or consensus form when too many participants show symptoms of groupthink or bias? Is it possible to actually form consensus with ideologically opposed parties? Can the ‘truth’ finally come out? Yes – and the speaker will outline how such a process is possible, giving live demonstrations and examples on the new platform.
Laboratory Fabrication of Elements
In this presentation, Vernon Roth will explore the microcosmic electrical effects on elements and the manner in which elements can be transmuted or fabricated in certain laboratory environments. The basic gaseous elements — hydrogen, helium, oxygen, and xenon — are influenced greatly by both electrical discharges in the atmosphere and plasma phenomenon in a vacuum condition. Vernon will discuss how elements can be produced or manufactured beginning with templates using several different methods of electrical elemental fabrication. It is his contention that the methods he will describe are at play in the solar crucible and in the earth itself.
Vernon began studying Electronics and Mechanical Design at a very early age. While studying Physics and Psychology in his early 20’s, Vernon learned of the essential interconnection between forces of energy and forces of nature. For the last 15 years, he has studied and developed technologies and formulations that use this interconnection to generate energy as well as to heal and educate. Using these principles and the technology of Tesla, Keely and others, Vernon and his family have been working to develop an understanding of sustainability and environmental cleanup. For the past 8 years, Vernon has worked in industry, applying this knowledge to developing technologies to reduce pollution and waste.
A New Perspective on Star Formation
Ignacio Cisneros will present a brief history of star formation theory, culminating in an electromagnetic perspective of the galactic plane. His presentation will highlight the critical failure of the standard model of star formation. Observation of star-forming regions across a variety of wave lengths has advanced spectacularly in recent decades. Details of these regions will be described using innovative composites of IR, visual and radio imaging, including high resolution, wide angle imaging of the interstellar medium. For this perspective, he will draw upon the new and unique capabilities of IRIS, WISE and the Planck Missions.
Ignacio is an American-educated Venezuelan poet, who fell in love with the galactic realm when he discovered the New Mexico skies. This led to a reorientation path from fine art and digital graphics to science and astronomy. To his new life’s work, he brought a diverse educational background, having specialized in video post-production and desk top publishing before he turned to amateur astronomy in 1996. When he returned to academic studies in 1999 he took up astronomical imaging, in particular digital image enhancement by means of charge-coupled devices (CCDs). While employed at an astronomical observatory, Ignacio acquired extensive experience in the observation of galactic structure. It was during this time he began to realize that the standard theory of star formation had reached a dead end. Exposure to Electric Universe materials fundamentally changed his perspective on the Cosmos.
Mars: The Great Desert in 3-D
Martian areography tells a story of incredibly violent events. It appears from the many images sent to Earth that it once experienced powerful plasma discharges on a massive scale. Burned and blasted craters, piles of scorched dust covering almost an entire hemisphere, and great trenches that wend across its scarred face lead to the conclusion that lightning thousands or millions of times more energetic than known today devastated Mars. Steve will discuss some of the more unusual features on Mars, presumably caused by those cataclysmic upheavals. Red/blue anaglyph images will provide a unique perspective.
Stephen Smith is the managing editor and principal writer for the Thunderbolts Picture of the Day (TPOD) feature. His archive contains close to 900 articles about nearly every topic addressed by the Electric Universe movement. Based on a 40-year interest in the electrical nature of the cosmos, his work reflects the pioneering discoveries by many people: David Talbott, Wallace Thornhill, Donald Scott, Ralph Juergens, and others too numerous to mention.
Earth’s Primordial Stellar Host
Dwardu Cardona will show that a reconstruction of Earth’s cosmic history can be distilled from the universal “mytho-historical record,” complemented by studies in earth history and space science. Most recently, the strongest scientific validation comes from space, as new instruments enable the viewer to see extraordinary electro-magnetic detail across the cosmos, confirming that this is indeed an Electric Universe.
A former Senior Editor of the journal Kronos and Editor of the journal Aeon, Dwardu has published well over a hundred papers and has authored four books: God Star, Flare Star, Primordial Star and Metamorphic Star.
EDWARD DOWDYE, PhD
Solar Gravitation and Solar Plasma Wave Propagation Interaction
Dr. Edward Dowdye is a laser optics engineer and former NASA physicist who argues the case for classical mechanics in attempting to explain observational quandaries that had hitherto remained the province of abstract theories like Einstein’s Relativity. In his presentation this year, Dr. Dowdye will tackle one of the most widely touted predictions of General Relativity (GRT), namely the bending of light paths by massive objects. He will present compelling empirical evidence that the direct relationship between light and gravitation in vacuum space does not exist. Crucially, he will point out that when GRT was conceived, plasma was unknown, and the limb of the Sun was considered to be a boundary between the photosphere and the vacuum of space. Dr. Dowdye takes account of what is now known to be a plasma atmosphere surrounding the Sun to considerable altitude and applies Gauss’s law of gravitation and conventional optics to the problem.
Dr. Dowdye, who was a popular speaker at EU2012, joins us again. He is the originator of the Extinction Shift Principle, which challenges General and Special Relativity, and is an electrical engineer, formerly of NASA, with degrees in mathematics and physics.
Notes Toward an Electric Catastrophist Model for Geology
The modern awareness that plasma composes most of the universe requires a reevaluation of theories dating from earlier times. Plasma is electrically active and employs forces that can be many times stronger than those of mechanical erosion and tectonics. Geological formations could be generated in place as seen during a transient catastrophic episode. One possible model envisions the globe enveloped in plasma discharges within the memory of humans. Material from space and from erosion of the surface was suddenly electrically sorted and deposited to a great depth. Dust, sand, gravel, rocks, boulders, coal, and oil accumulated wherever there was dry land. Red-hot dust blown by electrically generated tornado-like winds built up strata in place: “plastered” against obstructions in a manner similar to welded material. Flooding filled the valleys between the mountains with sediments. Where electrical activity was strong enough, the loose material was lithified and even metamorphosed. In this presentation, the Four Corners region in the US will be presented as an example. Following the conference, Steinbacher will lead a tour to inspect selected nearby sites and to interpret them in light of this model. Click here for more information.
Michael Steinbacher’s career started as a photographer at the Buck County Courier Times in Pennsylvania in 1966. He later joined the Air Force where he continued photography in the service. After discharge, he worked as a picture editor for the Trentonian and a staff photographer for the Miami Herald and the Daily Breeze in Los Angeles before settling in Florida to work in photographic production and freelance work. At the same time he was pursuing his theories regarding Electric Universe geology.
AP DAVID, PhD
On The Laws Of Nature
AP David’s talk will consider the sources of the modern idea of ‘Laws of Nature,’ or as they are more usually known nowadays, ‘physical laws.’ He will begin by articulating the difference between descriptive and prescriptive laws: nature as directly observed versus nature idealized into geometric or other mathematical relationships. This beginning leads to surprisingly large consequences for the way in which new ideas are received by the gatekeepers of mainstream cosmology. It turns out that the revolutionary thinkers of The Enlightenment found in the Laws of Nature an attractive “divine” quality. In particular they saw ideal geometries in planetary and other celestial motions. David will suggest that the willful conflation of descriptive and prescriptive tenets in modern science, especially but not only in mathematical physics, has led to some dire consequences for science itself. He believes that as EU theorists offer their electrical interpretations, it is critically important to understand the religious nature of institutionalized resistance.
Dr. A.P. David is a classical scholar (Hellenist), who has published two academic works including The Dance of the Muses: Choral Theory and Ancient Greek Poetics, Plato’s New Measure: The ‘Indeterminate Dyad’ and self-published several works of fiction and poetry.
Actor and filmmaker, Chuck Huber, will be making two presentations at the Beginner’s Sessions while also filming the conference like he did at EU2013. Chuck has been a stage and film actor for over 20 years as well as an innovative educator and workshop leader including a six year stint as a Principal at St. Bernadette Academy. He has taught in hundreds of settings around the country and around the world from SMU’s Cox School of Business to Owerri, Nigeria. He has worked as a founder, consultant or board member of five different schools and as an author of numerous articles for education periodicals, children’s books, plays, and screenplays.
Dreaming in the Electric Universe
Chuck will present an artist’s take on scientific creativity. Are there ways of thinking artistically that may be applied to scientific thought? He presents some useful artistic lenses through which to view the Electric Universe.
First Steps in the Electric Universe
Chuck Huber explains the chain of logic that brought on the joy that is seeing the Universe as Electric, sharing his experience revealing electrical phenomena throughout the solar system and throughout history during 30 hours of panels in front of thousands of Anime fans across the country.
Mel Acheson has contributed numerous insights to the Electric Universe movement for more than 15 years, giving readers both a chuckle and something to think about. His editorials were a regular feature in the electronic newsletter Thoth. Mel is now a frequent contributor to the Thunderbolts Picture of the Day (TPOD) and Space News. Mel is famous for his short five to ten minute essays presented at the EU conferences.
Is Evidence Evident?
What is evidence? How is it related to sensations, data, facts, and theories? What is the importance of interpretation? What is the place of decision and artistry in our understanding of our world?
The Game of Names
The data of new instruments is different from the historical data of biological senses. The things the new data describe are different from the things the old data described. We need new names for these things lest we fool ourselves into thinking that nothing has changed.
When Theories Bite Themselves
The precision of accepted theories is their downfall: By explaining a phenomenon exactly with gravity and gas, no room is left for the empirically discovered presence of an electrical influence.
On Befriending Molecules
What is water? How might our knowledge of it change if we could become friends with its individual molecules?
David Novak will be the Master of Ceremony for Electric Universe 2014 Conference: All About Evidence. He is a performance storyteller and arts educator and creator of The Storytellers’ Compass, a method of narrative wayfinding. He has spoken at numerous theatres and festivals all over the country. In addition, his aesthetic education programs have found audiences across the country. Mr. Novak has been guest instructor for the University of San Diego, International Storytelling Institute, Oklahoma Arts Institute, John Campbell Folk School, and Walt Disney Imagineering. In 1995/96, David was Master Storyteller for the Disney Institute in Orlando, Florida. Internationally he has toured China, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and the Czech Republic. He is currently an instructor for the graduate storytelling program at Eastern Tennessee State University and Performance Review Editor for the journal Storytelling, Self, and Society.
David will also give a presentation called “The Chain of Arrows and The Shoulders of Giants.” From the first arrow shot towards the heavens to the most recent space probe, we are reaching for the sky. He shares a key piece of story evidence and the moment it all came together.

A government shutdown is on the horizon, and there’s no sign that it is stopping. It will be the first government shutdown in 17 years as House Republicans continue to hold strong against a bill that doesn’t affect President Obama’s Affordable Health Care Act.
The House is preparing a third legislative effort to hand back to the Senate, guaranteeing a late night clash over the health care law that will again meet defeat in the Senate.
Obama seems appalled by the actions of the House Republicans, "One faction of one part in one house of Congress in one branch of government doesn't get to shut down the government just to re-fight results of the last election," he said in an afternoon announcement Monday.

What’s Actually In Cool Whip?
The bone-white, fluffy spread known as Cool Whip is to some a topping for baked goods and to others simply a snack to spoon up straight from the the tub. Used mostly as a whipped cream alternative, Cool Whip was originally marketed as a dairy-free yet creamy topping, even though it technically contained milk products (the current recipe contains even more). Like I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Cool Whip isn't whipped cream at all, but an emulsified mixture of fats suspended in water, held together by some choice additives and preservatives. So, what’s really inside that infamous plastic tub?
Cool Whip has a long list of ingredients, but that’s generally unsurprising for a highly processed food. Now owned by Kraft Heinz, the topping was introduced by the Birds Eye division of General Foods in 1966 as a whipped cream-like substance that could be frozen, defrosted, and refrigerated by distributors and grocery stores without altering its consistency, as well as keep fresh for long periods of time in consumer’s refrigerators.
Cool Whip Original’s ingredient list reads as many of its processed food contemporaries: with certain stuff we know as food, and others that are, well, other stuff. Let’s first examine the items that need no explanation: Cool Whip Original contains water, skim milk, and light cream. Easy enough. Next up, there’s hydrogenated vegetable oil, clarified on the package via parenthetical to be coconut and palm kernel oils. While some treat coconut oil like sweat wiped from the brow of their personal higher power, others criticize it for its high saturated fat content. Palm kernel oil is extracted from the seed of the fruit in oil palms. Also high in saturated fat, palm kernel oil has a long shelf life, making it an optimal choice for processed foods.
Cool Whip also contains both corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup; the former a syrup made from corn starch, and the latter a liquid sweetener and preservative also made from corn starch, but processed to convert some of its glucose to fructose. You can read more specifics on these ingredients while also learning what’s in fake maple syrup.
Flavored with “natural and artificial flavor,” Cool Whip’s oil and water base stays emulsified thanks to sodium caseinate, a protein derived from milk, sodium polyphosphate (which also acts as a preservative), and sorbitan monostearate, sometimes known as synthetic wax. It’s thickened with xanthan and guar gums, and Polysorbate 60 (fun fact: this is an integral ingredient in some sexual lubricants.) Finally, Cool Whip is colored with beta-Carotene, red-orange pigment.
Like most processed foods, Cool Whip isn’t great for you. If you’re looking for whipped cream, just go in for the real deal (cut it with Greek yogurt if you want a topping that’s lower in fat or physically sturdier) or try super-thick coconut whipped cream if you’re dairy-free.

Gone to Jericho. No one knows where. The manor of Blackmore, near Chelmsford, was called Jericho, and was one of the houses of pleasure of Henry VIII. When this lascivious prince had a mind to be lost in the embraces of his courtesans, the cant phrase among his courtiers was “He is gone to Jericho.” Hence, a place of concealment.
“And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown.”

SMX West recap: Using search science for keyword research
What role should keyword research play in your search marketing strategy? A very important one, argued SMX West speaker Tony Verre. Contributor Casie Gillette recaps Verre's tips from last week's conference.
We all know how important the customer is to our business. In fact, they are the business, and the only way businesses can be successful is to ensure they give customers and potential customers what they want.
In Wednesday’s SMX West session, “Understanding Your Consumer’s Journey – Using Search Science for Keyword Research,” DreamFire Digital Marketing founder Tony Verre explained how we marketers can ensure we’re targeting customers along their buying journey using the right keyword strategy and the right tools. Following is a recap of Verre’s talk.
Google Trends has been around for some time, but it really is an underused tool. Verre noted that Google Trends can be extremely helpful in showing you where a keyword or industry has been and where it’s going. This is especially important as consumer search trends change and terminology changes.
If you are going to use Google Trends, be sure to look not only at specific terms but also the categories surrounding the term, as top-level trends can provide important insights.
In addition, be sure to look at the following:
- Popular Topics: Take a look at the popular topics surrounding a category to understand how consumers are talking about the category.
- Top Queries: Top queries can show you what other terms are popular within the category.
- Geographic Data: See where consumers are searching these terms. This can help you see where buyers are and where you may need to focus.
Google Keyword Planner
When you think of keyword research, you likely think of Google Keyword Planner within AdWords. After all, it’s one of the few keyword tools out there uses real Google search volume data.
Verre gave a very important tip: When using Google Keyword Planner, concentrate on one product/service at a time.
One of the issues with Keyword Planner is that you only get 800 terms at a time, so if you are putting in multiple keywords and categories, you are going to miss out on potential terms.
Once you have gone through all your categories and top head terms, bucket them to see how consumers are searching. While you are going to end up with thousands and thousands of keywords, don’t get overwhelmed. The goal is to look for patterns and identify search trends.
Google and Amazon Predictive Search
Verre says that suggested search is “the doorway to understanding what unbranded terms trigger purchases.” With people spending so much time doing online research before making a purchase, research and discovery terms are now the terms that portend a purchase.
Interestingly enough (Pro tip!), he also showed how using Amazon suggested searches can help you get an even better picture of product and brand searches.
Using the data to create a long-term digital strategy
Often, people spend lots of time doing the keyword research, then choose a couple of targets and go on their way.
According to Verre, keyword research should play a role in your entire digital marketing strategy. As you’re thinking about site architecture, content, semantic targeting, paid search and more, go back and take a look at how people are searching throughout their journey.
By identifying their needs, you can ensure you have the information they need, where they need it.
As Verre noted… it’s science!

K-pop supergroup BTS used a White House visit on Tuesday to speak out against the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes in the US.
“It is great honour to be invited to the White House today to discuss important issues of anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion and diversity,” band member RM said before the band's meeting with President Joe Biden.
Jimin told reporters via interpreter that the band is “devastated by the recent surge of hate crimes, including Asian-American hate crimes”.
J Hope thanked the global BTS ARMY “who have different nationalities and cultures, and use different languages”.
“We are truly and always grateful,” he said.
Suga added: “It's not wrong to be different. I think equality begins when we open up and embrace all of our differences.”
V said the band hoped that their appearance at the White House would be a step in the right direction for people of varying cultures to be understood and respected.
“Everyone has their own history,” he said.
The group's visit to the White House comes on the final day of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Month and against the backdrop of a sharp rise hate crimes against Asians in the US over the past year.
One in six Asian-American adults had experienced a hate crime last year, up from one in eight in 2020, a survey by AAPI Data and Momentive showed.
Attacks against people of Asian descent escalated after some politicians and pundits blamed China for the spread of Covid-19.
BTS, founded in 2013, are known for using their lyrics to and social campaigns to empower young people.
“We believe music is always an amazing and wonderful unifier of all things,” said Jungkook.
In June 2020, the group's fans put their energy behind an online campaign called #MatchAMillion to raise money for social justice causes in the US.
The campaign brought in about $1 million in roughly 24 hours, matching the donation of the band itself to Black Lives Matter.

"Mawwidge is what bwwings us togevva today," says Peter Cook's vicar in The Princess Bride to the unhappy royal couple and their wedding guests. And, yes, royal nuptials inspire this fortnight's Untangling the Web topic: Love.
This is a biggie: it covers everything from the nature of online relationships to how we know who to trust to the reported rise of online infidelity to the scams that we fall for in pursuit of our own personal fairy tales. I'm interested in the evolution of our search for The One, and what our interactions over the Web have changed about what we expect in offline relationships.
Love is too weak a word for what I feel - I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F's, yes I have to invent, of course I - I do, don't you think I do?
Alvy Singer to Annie Hall
Have you fallen in love online? Or do you eschew online dating? How long should a relationship stay online before it gravitates into meatspace? Does sexting constitute an affair?
For the record, I'll be avoiding writing about online sex; cynic that I am, I tackled that subject for Valentine's Day.

"When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, He remarked: 'This man is a true Israelite. There is no guile in him' " (Jn 1:47). Nathanael asked Jesus, "How do You know me?" (Jn 1:48) This is a revealing response. The typical response to a total stranger would be to ask: "How do you know this information about me?" Yet Nathanael asked: "How do You knowme?" The brief encounter between Nathanael and Jesus resulted in a supernatural knowledge, a binding of hearts, a joining of the divine and the human. Nathanael (Bartholomew) had an instant personal encounter with Christ and realized that Jesus knew him, loved him, and was the Son of God! (Jn 1:50)
Jesus made a comment which is also revealing. He asked if Nathanael came to believe just because He encountered Jesus personally (Jn 1:50). A life-changing personal encounter with Jesus is absolutely critical. However, Jesus went on to say that Nathanael would see much greater things than that! (Jn 1:50) Nathanael would see the glory of heaven (Jn 1:51). He would see the glory of the Church, the new Jerusalem (Rv 21:9ff). He would be chosen as an apostle (Mk 3:18), the foundation of the body of Christ, the Church (Eph 2:20; Rv 21:14; Col 1:18). Nathanael would see Jesus as not just his Lord, but as Lord of heaven and earth.
May we all encounter Jesus personally and accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior. Then may we all accept Him for everything that He truly is, in all His glory and splendor.
Prayer: Jesus, may I love the Church as You do (Eph 5:25).
Promise: "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him; to all who call upon Him in truth." —Ps 145:18
Praise: St. Bartholomew renounced his prejudice toward Nazoreans and accepted Jesus the Nazorean (Jn 19:5) as his Lord.

|The Canon PowerShot A620 has been equipped with a multitude of settings and functions that enable a beginning photographer to take creative digital photographs. Besides the creative possibilities, it is also important that a camera is user-friendly. This combination makes the Canon A620 a camera that could be a good stepping stone on the way to using a more advanced digital camera like a digital SLR camera. The simple operation leaves little to be desired. Anyone who wants to take a picture without having to think about it can just switch on the camera and make sure that the mode dial is at the green Auto stand. If, after a while, you want to get more out of the camera, you will soon want to use the Tv (shutter speed priority) or Av (aperture priority) mode. The Canon PowerShot A620 has an adaptable aperture from f/2.8 to f/8 and a shutter speed ranging from 15 seconds to 1/2500 seconds, depending on the aperture set.|
|Canon PowerShot A620 - White balance
Although the Canon A620 is normally set on automatic white balance, it is possible to change the white balance in order to let the camera focus better on a colour temperature of a certain light source. Of course, it is good that it is possible to manually correct a colour cast that cannot be (sufficiently) corrected by the automatic white balance, but how many users will do this in practise or even understand it? We are still waiting for a manufacturer who is able to make the white balance function even more intelligent, relieving the user of the need to puzzle over the white balance. In general, the automatic white balance performs well. The reproduction has a warm tone, but gives a satisfying result. A small exposure correction (+ 0.7EV) is sometimes necessary to make the shot clearer.
Canon PowerShot A620 - Sharp images
The PowerShot A620 camera delivers excellent sharpness. The shots look extremely sharp and even small details are clearly visible. If we look at enlargements of a crop from close by, we see great results even with prints which should have been affected by noise suppression. The camera’s noise suppression is still inclined to lose some details in large, but this is only true to a limited extent of the Canon A620. Here also, looking at a shot on the screen is not the same as looking at the same shot on paper. The prints look fantastic, and you do not notice anything.
Canon PowerShot A620 camera - ISO settings
When we looked at the noise levels we saw that the low ISO values are entirely free of noise and that the noise is more obvious from 400 ISO onwards. In particular, small details seem to disappear and shots seem to have less depth. When printing the test shots, the 400 ISO shot can be used without problems. Here also it seemed that the reproduction on screen is absolutely no indictor of the final result on paper. You are safe to assume that printing a photograph made by the Canon PowerShot A620 is problem free up to 400 ISO. The shots have lively colours, excellent sharpness and even the lightest parts in shots with a lot of contrast are still rich in detail.
|Canon PowerShot A620 - 35-140mm zoom lens
The Canon A620’s zoom has an interesting range. It is interesting for most entry-level photographers because the range of 35 - 140mm gives many people the opportunity to photograph all-round subjects. Of course, a 28mm wide-angle would make the picture perfect, but you can’t have everything and including this would make the camera unnecessarily expensive. The results with a wide-angle shot are very good and have a noticeable distortion in the corners. Although this distortion is not bad compared to competing models, it must be possible to improve it. If the lens is zoomed in, there is practically no more distortion, which is excellent! The same goes for the chromatic aberration, present in wide-angle and not or barely there in tele. A pretty decent achievement. As well as the optical zoom, the Canon A620 also has a digital zoom whereby the total range reaches 16x zoom. However, the resolution is reduced and noise stands out more. In emergency situations, a digital zoom is a welcome function, but from the view point of (printing) quality, it is preferable to use the optical zoom.
Canon PowerShot A620 - Colour reproduction
As well looking at the sharpness and the optical performance of the Canon PowerShot A620, we also took a look at colour reproduction. The shots are true to life, but look just a little exaggerated. This is quite common with digital cameras like the Canon A620. In general, strongly contrasted photos with saturated colours are more popular with the amateur user. Red and blue seem to be particularly dominant, which probably gives that extra bit of saturation. The skin tones are good and don’t have the habit of turning purple. The sky shots were nice and bright, but not too exaggerated. In general, we can say that the colour reproduction was fine with a lot of contrast and good colour saturation, ensuring a great print.
Canon PowerShot A620 digital camera
The Canon A620 is a versatile digital camera. It is exactly what a PowerShot camera should be; as well as giving great value for money it has a wide variety of settings and functionalities, excellent optical quality and gives the user the chance to grow towards a digital reflex camera in the future. For the price, Canon gives you an excellent concept and a great digital combination.

Natori was a densely populated coastal town of 72,000 people. It suffered critical damage from the earthquake and tsunami on March 11. Rescue workers reached Natori on March 14. They found few survivors because the town was nearly wiped off the map. The Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant is located 30 miles to the south, and the remaining residents of Natori are concerned about leaking radiation. (Masaki Furumaya / Sankei Shimbun / MSN Japan)
