6 Ridiculous Guidelines About Action Films
It is an excellent ambassador for the leisure industry: not solely does it assist reveal recent expertise and uncover new music, it additionally stimulates and kindles our musical heritage while encouraging the fusion of styles and artists. This new feature lets artists share an achievement on Twitter, Facebook, and even Instagram Stories. Plasma televisions share most of precisely the same traits as LCD televisions, but do present energy in regions that LCD’s come up transient. No other witnesses from the crew of the Eldridge or close by ships had come forward in the thirteen years because the alleged occasion. Witnesses describe an eerie inexperienced-blue glow surrounding the hull of the ship. Most shockingly, a few crewmen had been discovered partially embedded in the steel hull of the ship; still alive, however with legs or arms sealed to the deck. The Trevi Fountain will be discovered during which city? ∙ When it comes to model choice and deployment, we will think about models getting used as inventive internet-providers (Veale, 2013), with higher-degree CC techniques accessing text-to-image generators in a variety of initiatives.
Rumor aboard the ship was that the generators have been designed to energy a brand new sort of magnetic field that may make the warship invisible to enemy radar. In the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, a newly commissioned destroyer called the USS Eldridge was being equipped with a number of massive generators as part of a high-secret mission to win the Battle of the Atlantic as soon as and for all. For the VHS tapes, they used the same slogan, nonetheless, instead of the audio being highlighted, Memorex featured the clear recording of the tape. The Jordache Look was something that attracted many shoppers; however, the minute Guess denims debuted, sales decreased considerably. Nevertheless, should you heard it but didn’t know what it meant, the context and the sound of the phrase mixed would definitely assist. Many hypothesize it is because of the sound the machine makes when liquid chocolate hits the conveyor belt. To prime that, when the machine starts to distribute the chocolate, it appears to be like like it’s kissing the belt. Did you swoon just like the millions of people who’ve watched Dirty Dancing?
This proved very helpful on the time because a majority of people took baths and as an alternative of digging by soiled water for their cleaning soap, it was floating beside them. Sadly, Jessup’s story took a tragic turn. In his letters, Allende criticized Jessup’s naive understanding of unified area concept, which Allende claimed to have been taught by Albert Einstein himself. Inside the sphere of analysis, one is required to collaborate with organizations to analyze issues and then argue them out in accordance to climatic adjustments. The pink drum playing Energizer Bunny has been among the best advertising gadgets thus far. Instead of promoting one candy bar, they marketed two: Almond Joy (which had nuts) and Mounds (which didn’t have nuts). To deal with considerations about merchandise that will by no means be delivered, Kickstarter for one prohibits product renderings and simulations in your movies, though CAD designs are Ok. The excitement might have worked; the new York Occasions positioned Instructor’s Pet in its top ten of 1958, and the movie obtained two Oscar nominations. It was the summer of 1943, two years into the United States’ involvement in World War II, and a bloody sea battle was raging between American destroyers and the famed U-boat submarines of the Nazis.
Nora Ephron, who handed away on June 26, 2012, was possible probably the most profitable feminine screenwriter in film history, garnered the respect and admiration of the trade and the worship of followers world wide who love her “love conquers all” completely satisfied endings. In the 1991 film “Wayne’s World,” Wayne ends up pulling up next to a Rolls Royce and asking for a jar of the high-end mustard. 4K TVs supply spectacular picture high quality, delivering more pixels than HDTV or high-finish 1080p LED screens, more practical colour and better frame rates. With three years remaining within the present’s contract, another try at romance looks like a safe guess, however only time will inform whether or not this couple is more believable the following time round. More than 70 years later, regardless of the absence of any physical proof or corroborating testimony, the Philadelphia Experiment survives as “fact” in the minds of amateur paranormalists and conspiracy theorists. Hours later, there have been reviews of the Eldridge showing within the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia, earlier than reappearing just as all of a sudden again in Philadelphia. Then there is Sling Tv, HuluTV, and FuboTV, in order. I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from “Mulan. For the So Happy Together Campaign, Common Mills revamped the lyrics to the 1967 Turtles tune “Completely satisfied Together.” It didn’t make it onto the U.S.

The 22nd International Conference on
Principles and Practice of
Constraint Programming
5-9 september 2016
Welcome to CP 2016
Place du Capitole, Toulouse (picture by Benh LIEU SONG)
The International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming will take place in Toulouse, France, from September 5th to September 9th 2016.
This is the 22nd edition of the annual conference on all aspects of computing with constraints, including: theory, algorithms, environments, languages, models, systems, and applications such as decision making, resource allocation, scheduling, configuration, and planning. The Association for Constraint Programming has a list of previous conferences in this series.
The CP 2016 program will include presentations of high quality scientific papers on constraints technology. In addition to the usual technical track, the CP 2016 conference will feature thematic tracks. Each track has a specific sub-committee to make sure that competent reviewers will review the papers submitted by people of these domains.
A number of invited talks on important topics relevant to the field will also be presented. Beyond the usual workshop, tutorial and doctoral programs, we will repeat the published paper track in which important results that have recently appeared in journals or sister conferences will be presented, the journal publication fast track for outstanding submissions, and the industry outreach program. Finally, we introduce this year a challenge based on a realistic industrial grade optimization problem.

CP 2016 solicits papers promoting applications based on CP technologies. We especially look for industrial and academic users of constraint technology to submit papers on completed or on-going practical projects. Papers comparing constraint technology to other optimization techniques (e.g., MIP, SAT, local search…) with a sound empirical evaluation are equally welcome.
The ideal paper will clearly define the application, the users’ benefits, describe the efforts needed to build the application and the time frame in which it was delivered. While not strictly mandatory, novelty of the application domain or the use of CP technology by itself or within hybrids is a plus.

Computational Sustainability aims to apply techniques from computing and information science and related disciplines (e.g., operations research, applied mathematics, and statistics) for balancing environmental, economic, and societal needs for sustainable development. Sustainability domains and areas include:
Smart cities (e.g., sensor networks, energy efficient buildings, urban infrastructure, urban flows, traffic management, participatory and direct democracy, etc.)
Human-Built Systems and Land Use (e.g., transportation systems, data-centres, smart grid, food systems, agriculture, etc.)
Natural resources and ecosystems (e.g., climate, atmosphere, water, oceans, forest, land, soil, biodiversity, species, etc.)
Economics and Human Behavior (e.g., human well-being, poverty, infectious diseases, over-population, resource harvesting, etc.)
Energy resources (e.g., renewable energy, energy management and planning, energy market etc.)
This thematic track invites the submission of research papers on novel computational concepts, models, techniques, and systems to address problems in computational sustainability. Papers should describe computational sustainability research, or explain how the research addresses problems, opportunities or issues underlying computational sustainability challenges, or describe a computational sustainability challenge or application. Papers on challenges in computational sustainability are also welcome.

During the last years, Biology has become a source of challenging problems for the entire field of Computer Science in general, and for the areas of computational logic and constraint programming in particular. Successful approaches to these problems are likely to have significant applications in several fields of research, such as medicine, agriculture, industry, etc. Several successful applications of the Logic and Constraint Programming paradigms in Bioinformatics have been carried out in the last years, in the area of phylogenetic tree reconstruction, in haplotype inference, in proteins structure prediction, in RNA secondary structure prediction, and in System Biology, just to cite a few. Workshops on constraints and bioinformatics are organized yearly since 2005 and a special track of the ALMOB Journal on the same topic is active since 2012.

Collective decision-making is an area of increasingly growing interest, driven by the increasing prevalence of systems where people connect and share information with others.
Constraint programming can have a major impact in this field. However, this will require connections being made to other research areas such as preferences, voting and game theory, multi-agent systems, machine learning, and reasoning under uncertainty.
This track welcomes papers that are concerned with topics that connect to these areas in one way or the other.

The last decade has witnessed a considerable improvement in the efficiency and expressive power of CP solvers, with a consequent impact on (software and hardware) testing and verification application. A deeper integration of solver and application is expected with on going research on Constraint Programming (CP) techniques. The Testing and Verification track of CP'2015 will focus on a broad range of topics, without being limited to the ones mentioned below:
Constraint-based hardware verification
Constraint-based software testing
Constraints in formal verification
Constraints in static and dynamic analysis
CP solvers for testing applications
Verification of CP models
Testing of CP solvers
Formal verification of CP solvers and optimizers
Automatic test generation with CP solvers
Journal-First and Sister Conferences Paper Track
Michela Milano, University of Bologna, Italy.
The goal of this track is to provide a forum to discuss important results in the area of constraint programming, including those at the interface of another area (scientific, industrial, artistic…), that appeared or were accepted recently (in the last two years) in relevant journals and in sister conferences (a non exhaustive list of sister conferences contains AAAI, ECAI, IJCAI, ICAPS, KR, AAMAS, etc). An important requirement for the paper is that it should have never been presented at CP in past editions. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give an oral presentation at the conference and to provide a one-page abstract citing their journal/sister conference paper for the conference proceedings.
Journal Publication Fast Track
Willem-Jan van Hoeve, Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, USA.
Outstanding submissions to the technical or thematic tracks will be offered the opportunity to be published exclusively through a fast-track process in the Constraints journal: following a second round of minor review they will be accepted directly in the journal by the time of the conference. Authors of these papers can opt to extend their paper from 15 to 20 pages plus references. These papers will be acknowledged through a one-page abstract in the conference proceedings and will be presented during the conference on the same ground as any other accepted submission. Fast Track Journal papers should be formatted according to the Constraints Journal Guidelines.
Authors who decline to fast track their submission revert to a standard conference submission and are subject to the default formatting, length and date requirements. Papers that do not clear the second round of review also revert to standard conference paper status.
selection processus
Pierre Schaus, UC Louvain, Belgium.
CP 2016 organizes a challenge based on a realistic industrial grade optimization problem proposed by n-Side (www.n-side.com) and ArcelorMittal, called The “Torpedo Scheduling Problem”. This problem is a simplification, while still being challenging, of a real life application for steel production.
The challenge will focus primarily on the quality of the solution. We will provide an instance generator and a solution checker such that each participant can develop and test their own program. Some instances will be available on the challenge web-site from the beginning. The final instances used to rank the participants will only be made public one month before the deadline

Dwight Powell, 6'10, Power Forward, Stanford, Junior
While Dwight Powell entered Stanford as a consensus top-50 high school recruit, it took him until his junior season until he started to play like one. After struggling with prolonged bouts of inconsistency during his freshman and sophomore seasons, he has seemingly turned a corner. Now, averaging 15.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, Powell has battled through adversity to emerge as a top option for the Stanford Cardinal, a team that badly needs both his production and leadership.
Standing 6'10 with a wiry 235-pound frame and a 7'0 wingspan, Powell has excellent size for the power forward position. While he must continue to get stronger, Powell has done a good job of adding muscle to his frame without detracting from his intriguing athletic profile. While not the most explosive athlete, Powell is incredibly smooth, quick for his size, and very mobile overall. Ultimately, while Powell is likely another 20-pounds away his optimal playing size, he has the physical tools to excel as a power forward in the NBA.
His skill set certainly helps his cause as well, as perhaps the most impressive aspect of his increased productivity he averages 19.4 points per 40 minutes pace adjusted, up from 12.7 as a junior is his diverse skill set. Though nearly 65% of his scoring comes around the basket another 30% comes from jump shots from all over the floor. Furthermore, according to Synergy, Powell finds 22.4% of his offense in post-ups, 17.2% in isolation sets, 15% off of spot-up jump shots, and 10.8 off of cuts.
Entering his junior season, Powell had built up a reputation for playing soft in the post. On film, it is clear that he lacks the ideal strength, particularly in his core and lower body, to both hold his position on the block and to finish through contact. Many of his 3.1 turnovers per 40 minutes pace-adjusted come from simply losing control of the ball in the post. Furthermore, he is not a particularly efficient scorer inside, converting just 42.6% of his attempts out of post-ups and shooting a career low 47.5% from inside of the arc, which ranks him in the bottom of half of our top-100 prospects. He has, however, developed a solid right-handed jump hook and functional footwork pivoting on the block. The question remains whether he'll be able to score inside at the next level, especially given his struggles against PAC-12 competition.
He is at his best, however, away from the basket, operating in either spot-up or face-up capacities from the mid-range to the perimeter. By the numbers, Powell is not a particularly efficient jump shooter, making 32.1% of his 81 attempts, which are divided evenly between shots around the basket, from mid-range, and from beyond the arc. He is, by far, most effective shooting the ball from deep, where he makes 46.2% of his 1.4 attempts per 40 minutes pace adjusted while showing solid mechanics, complete with a quick release and a high release point. In addition to being a competent spot-up shooter, he has also shown the ability to occasionally get his shot off of the dribble from mid-range.
Powell's biggest strength is also his weakness, however, as his tendency to fall in love with his jump shot often results in him floating around the perimeter rather than banging in the post or attacking off the bounce. Unlike many spot-up shooting big men, the junior consistently flashes the ability to take his man off of the dribble, usually with a simple fake-and-go or rip through move. Able to put the ball on the floor and attack with either hand while showing excellent body control when finishing in the paint, Powell's quickness and functional ball-handling put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses.
On the defensive end, Powell's physical profile is intriguing even if the results are mixed. Though he displays good lateral quickness for his size, he does not seem to be the most focused or physical defender, which tends to limit his effectiveness staying in front of his man on the perimeter. Combined with his lack of bulk, his average awareness negatively affects his ability to guard bigger players in the post.
On the plus side, he looks far more patient and less foul prone as a junior, even if he still commits 4.0 fouls per 40 minutes pace adjusted. Additionally, his physical gifts allow him to contribute statistically in a variety of ways, to the tune of 1.0 steals and 1.4 blocks per 40 minutes pace adjusted.
On the whole, if Powell is going to reach his potential on the defensive end of the floor, he'll need to improve his intensity and toughness. He has all the tools to hold his own on this end of the floor, but he does not consistently make the most of his size and athleticism when defending one-on-one or crashing the glass.
In sum, while Powell has shown a significant amount of improvement thus far in his junior season, he still has a long way to go before realizing his potential. Compounding these question marks is the fact that he is a year older than the rest of his class. To this end, scouts wonder how much he can still improve from both a physical and a skill-level standpoint. Ultimately, however, Powell presents an intriguing combination of a legitimate face-up game with NBA caliber size and athleticism, which will keep scouts interested even if he does not significantly improve much further. A potential early-entry candidate for the 2013 draft, Powell is a player to keep an eye on moving forward.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for [Killing Bono: I Was Bono's Doppelganger] (By: Neil McCormick) [published: October, 2004] at Amazon.com. KILLING BONO is a movie for fans of U2 and those who wish they could be as great as U2. Two brothers watch helplessly as their school friends, the members of U2, become huge music stars. Peter Martin. by Ben Barnes. Killing Bono movie reviews & Metacritic score: Two brothers attempt to become global rock stars but can only look on as old school friends U2 become the biggest band in the world. Wed Apr 06 2011, 10:02pm | 0 comments. |, September 6, 2011 Director Nick Hamm had an interesting take on the reception of his movie, "Killing Bono", with American versus British audiences. Ben Barnes as Neil McCormick, right, and Robert Sheehan as his younger brother Ivan, left. Killing Bono makes fun of one young man's chance of a lifetime that is cruelly snatched away by his jealous brother. Killing Bono is a problematic movie almost before the opening credits even roll. Disabling it will result in some disabled or missing features. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. KILLING BONO is a movie for fans of U2 and those who wish they could be as great as U2. It was his opinion that the average Brit accepts, possibly even expects, failure. Killing Bono never really gets going, mostly because it has no real idea of how to convey joy, pain, or any type of emotional progression. | Rating: B- We want to hear what you have to say but need to verify your account. I have not read the book, but I loved what was done in this story. Killing Bono Two brothers are determined to make it in the music biz in this tonally weird, 1980s-set Britcom. One of those bands went on to become U2. Genres: Biopic, Comedy, Music. WWE Getting Rowdy - The Unreleased Matches of Roddy Piper DVD review. Just one U2 song ("I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For") is on the soundtrack. 4.1 out of 5 stars. A shapeless rock-music caper that, like its deluded antihero, just doesn't know when to stop. 4.1 out of 5. With Ben Barnes, Robert Sheehan, Krysten Ritter, Ralph Brown. Heavily adapted from the memoirs of Telegraph rock critic, Neil McCormick, Killing Bono starts thrillingly, before falling into the frustrating, unpleasant space between fact and fiction. All Critics (43) Just words? 130 global ratings. What could have been a moderately entertaining short film is yanked to intolerable lengths in Killing Bono, a shapeless rock-music caper that, like its deluded antihero, just doesn't know when to stop. Bad characterization, flawed directing and badly edited. 16th Aug 2011; I’m sure the title of this film is something almost everybody’s wanted to do at one time or another. I'm a pretty big U2 fan, and was familiar with this story, though I haven't read the book that was the source material of this movie. 4 out of 5. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It’s oddly appropriate that Killing Bono, a film about very long stops and very brief starts with success, rarely manages to get a full grip on its story or intended emotional impact. and the Terms and Policies, Photograph: Helen Sloan. 4.4 out of 5 stars. Killing Bono Review. |, November 4, 2011 |, November 3, 2011 |. GRADE: 4 out of 5. Killing Bono Isn't Perfect But It's Very Funny & Entertaining, Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2012. Killing Bono › Customer reviews; Customer reviews. Director Nick Hamm had an interesting take on the reception of his movie, "Killing Bono", with American versus British audiences. Enter Gloria(Krysten Ritter). Unfortunately, the facts were obviously embellished to create a more entertaining screenplay -- the self-destructive choices of the rival band's singer (who also wrote the book that inspired the film) are so wildly stupid that credibility is shot.

ANZAC CARDS
An Editorial of sorts for 2000
History is something of a road map without which it is difficult to see where you've been or where you are heading. Today, this is more true than ever. The forces which now drive our lives are less visible as those in 1914, but may yet prove to be even more devestating. For example:
On June 24, 2000 the World Bank approved a US $160 million loan for a project that will resettle nearly 60,000 ethnic Chinese farmers into a region that is traditionally Tibetan....
(How would you feel if you were Tibetan?) and then..
Thursday, 21 September 2000 UN report: "The annual report of the United Nations Population Fund, estimates that four million women and girls are bought and sold each year, for marriage, prostitution or slavery. The UN says it is a huge world trade in women, which is only growing, an unwanted consequence of globalisation." (An unwanted consequence?)
(You had to be quick to pick up on this story. It was broadcast once only in a 6am Bulletin on ABC Radio.)
The prospect of life on the 'level playing field' seems to worsen as I get older and I experience great disquiet about it as I approach the time when I must bid ' Adieu'. The wonderful country in which I grew up is alas no more as we head into a game where only the strong can survive, where the only goal is wealth. If you believe in having your own home with a shed out the back, a strong sense of nationalism, chook sheds and vegie gardens and make protest at the process of Globalization, our Prime Minister labels you as Un-Australian and marshalls police forces with batons to deal with your protest. There is even a name for you! Fundamentalist!
But, I will not degrade the name of Anzacs by using this site as a platform on which to beat that particular drum.
I've had my say in "Quo vadis Anzac?"
I will be spending the remainder of my life adding to and maintaining www.anzacs.net so that young Australians (and possibly others) may find it something of a help in chartering their own course through the maze.
By the way, I welcome editorial contributions, so if there is a theme you wish to present here please advise.
See as examples the very thorough medical re-examination of the evidence in the case of the 'Red Baron' by Dr. Geoffrey Miller and the excellent article, " Was he fit to Fly?" first published in the 'Lancet' by Dr. Henning Allmers of Osnabruck, Germany.
The project of bringing to this site a photo of each of the graves at Gallipoli was made impossible by the intervention of the War in Iraq.
Security measures on the internet made it increasingly difficult and finally impossible to communicate with my young associate in Istanbul.
It is because of my great passion for this country, and my feeling of indebtitude towards it that I have lovingly built this site. It is my way of saying ' thank you Australia ' for the lifetime I've spent here..

THE SWISS ARE EVERYWHERE
Nine out of ten Swiss citizens live in Switzerland. A tenth has a residence status abroad, either temporary or permanent. These are the Swiss abroad. They are part of the Swiss nation and they have rights and duties in their home country.
They live in France or in Singapore, in the USA, in Ghana or in New Zealand. There is no country in the world where there aren’t any Swiss. And one rarely finds a country which has a higher percentage of its citizens abroad than Switzerland.
Over 776,000 Swiss are registered at a consular representation abroad (2013). And the number is rising annually. In the past three decades the number of Swiss abroad has doubled. In 1950 each 20th Swiss citizen lived abroad, today it’s already each 10th.
The Swiss abroad can be seen as the 3rd biggest Canton. Only Zurich and Berne have more inhabitants of Swiss nationality.
Almost two thirds of the Swiss abroad live in Europe. Our five neighbouring countries accommodate almost half of the Swiss abroad; about 200,000 live in France alone. Every sixth Swiss abroad lives in the USA.
Globally interrelated, Switzerland relies on its diaspora and the international mobility of its citizens. Familiarity with other cultures and internationally linked, Swiss abroad are of a unique importance to their homeland regarding knowledge, experience, access and connection. In the homeland they act as external viewers. When abroad they take on an important role in shaping the image of Switzerland.
Swiss abroad have been able to register to vote or to stand for election since 1992 on a national level. An increasing number of Swiss citizens abroad make use of this political right. Over 190,000 have registered in a Swiss voting register.
Our citizens abroad are closely connected to their homeland frequently, often through many generations. Easy travelling conditions and modern communication brings the Swiss abroad and their homeland closer to each other. The Swiss have been increasingly aware of the Fifth Switzerland and its representatives in the home country as well as the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad.

: : Assurances of Payment of Surgeon At R & C Rates By CIGNA Prove Unreliable
Home FEHBA : : Assurances of Payment of Surgeon At R & C Rates By CIGNA Prove Unreliable
: : Disability Insurer Policy Language Does Not Support ERISA Claim for Reimbursement of Overpayments
: : Plaintiff FailsTo Show Breach of Fiduciary Duty By Misrepresentation or Omission
Roy Harmon FEHBA / Provider Reimbursement July 13, 2021 July 13, 2021
A surgeon at California Spine performed three surgical procedures on J.R., and then “billed Defendants for these services . . . using his standard rates for such services.” California Spine’s “charges for the surgery totaled $37, 000, ” which, the complaint alleges, “reflected the reasonable and customary value of the services at issue.” Neither Cigna nor NALC Health “challenged the medical necessity of any of the services provided to J.R., or otherwise reversed the earlier approval of coverage.” But NALC Health “contended that the ‘allowed amount’ for all the services provided . . . was only $6, 907.00, of which $2, 072.10 was owed by J.R. as coinsurance.”
California Spine and Neurosurgey Institute v. National Association of Letter Carriers Health Benefit Plan (N.D. Cal. 2021)
Payments for benefits provided under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Act (FEHBA) ultimately come from the federal government. So while the government will use a commercial entity such as CIGNA in this case, the payments are drawn on a letter of credit held by the OPM.
“As authorized by FEHBA, the Office of Personnel Management (“OPM”) contracts with private entities called “carriers” to manage the day-to-day administration of FEHBA plans. See 5 U.S.C. § 8902(a).” The National Association of Letter Carriers Health Benefit Plan (NALC Health) is one of the carriers OPM contracts with to assist in administering health benefits to federal employees.
The patient in this case worked for the Postal Service so that was the source of his coverage. So how did CIGNA end up in this picture? The answer lies in the outsourcing of services by the NALC Health intermediary.
“As authorized by its contract with OPM, NALC Health in turn contracts with a private entity-Cigna Health & Life Insurance Company-to help administer the FEHBA benefits plan. Cigna gives NALC Health access to Cigna’s network of health care providers. Cigna also performs administrative services such as repricing claims according to Cigna’s agreements with these providers, and determining whether treatments are medically necessary.”
Caution To Health Care Providers
The provider obtained oral and confirming written assurances of reimbursement at the prevailing usual and customary rates. The payments were only a fraction of those rates. While those assurances from CIGNA must have seemed quite reliable, in this case CIGNA was under contract with the federal government. Therefore, the provider’s remedies could not be under state law claims of promissory estoppel and quantum meruit in a state court.
Finding a colorable claim of sovereign immunity, the district court denied the health care provider’s motion to remand.
Note – The takeaway on an outcome such as this can only be that providers who are not in network must deal with caution with patients covered under the FEHBA. This is likely a bad policy on a larger level but the matter is beyond the control of the health care provider and definitely unfair in view of assurances of a fair payment for services rendered.

Wreckreation? Livelihood, Labor, Work, Play, and the Environment in the Rural American West
Industry, based on landscape, has been foundational to the American West’s cultural and ideological underpinnings. The extraction and outdoor recreation industries are two of these core industries, both reliant on the vast public lands and natural resources of the West. For her Master’s thesis, Mara is exploring community change within the context of transition from extractive natural resource use to the “non-extractive” natural resource use of the outdoor recreation industy.

Energy Use and Access on the Hopi Reservation
Delaney is working with the Hopi Utility Authority to better understand electricity and energy use on the Hopi Reservation. Her research examines energy burden, both in its monetary manifestations as-well as its emotional and temporal manifestations. Through semi-structured interviews she is determining the current energy paradigm and use patterns of households and sentiments regarding electricity. Her research is focused on understand household energy burdens holistically as well as residents’ perceptions and preferences regarding electrification. Read more here.
Impact of Climate Change on Plant Community Composition in Western Wyoming and Implications for Wildlife Migration
Increasing temperature and changing precipitation patterns with climate change will have substantial impacts on plant communities, particularly in water-limited drylands. In western Wyoming, these climatic variables could result in a shift in plant community composition from cool season (C3) species to warm season (C4) species. Altered resource-level dynamics have the potential to then make changes to wildlife behavior, and migrating ungulates tracking spring green-up through the region could be particularly susceptible. Read more here.
Investigating Shrub-Grass Interactions in Big Sagebrush Ecosystems Across the West
In temperate drylands, the amount and timing of precipitation interacts with soil texture to determine patterns of seasonal soil water availability at different soil depths. The coexistence of grasses and woody plants in these ecosystems has been attributed to partitioning of soil water resources, with grasses relying on resources in shallow soils, while woody plants rely on those in deeper soils. Yet, in ecosystems where grasses and woody plants coexist—such as big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems in western North America—the consequences of soil water resource partitioning on competition remains unresolved.

Elevating Native Led Bison Restoration Stories on the Great Plains
Ross is partnering with Tanka Fund, a Native led non-profit on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Tanka Fund’s mission is to return bison to native land, lives, and economies across North America. Ross is providing support to the Tanka Fund through the creation of a promotional storytelling campaign that highlighs Indigenous bison caretakers and the importance of their work to ecosystems and local communities.

Clay, Silt, Sand, and Data: Revealing Soil Organic Carbon on Native Lands
Raffa is supporting Indigenous data-empowerment efforts by researching how Tribal Nations may engage with soil carbon markets, which offer compensation to land managers who build up Soil Carbon on their land through regenerative rangeland practices or agriculture. He will be working with Aude Chesnais (Native Land Information Systems), Dr. Justin Farrell (Yale), and Dr. Kyle Whyte (Univ of Michigan) to analyze soil carbon on Native land across the West, and how carbon stock may change in the future with altered land management strategies.

Renew Your Support Today!
Please send your Emergency Year-End Contribution Now!
Our combat troops are still fighting in hot spots around the globe. Many people aren't even aware we still have troops in harm's way around the world.
But with your help, we show our troops abroad they're not forgotten by sending our Gifts From Home Care Packages to U.S. forces deployed overseas. These packages contain essential items needed to keep our troops alive, healthy, warm, dry, nourished and as comfortable as possible. Freedom Alliance is one of the few organizations still sending care packages to troops abroad.
Here at home, we're seeing the sacrifices of our troops being diminished and the American flag increasingly disrespected and desecrated. Professional athletes think that "sacrificing everything" means making a few million dollars less each year after protesting our National Anthem.
And we're seeing more hatred of our troops' Commander-in-Chief than at any time since the ugly era of Vietnam War protests. Members of President Trump's administration and patriotic American citizens who support the president are even being harassed and assaulted in public.
I know from my experience as a young Marine in Vietnam that unrest over here undermines the morale and combat missions of our troops over there.
That's why I'm asking you to show your support for our brave warriors and rush me your 2020 voluntary renewal gift RIGHT NOW.
My friend, your past generosity has been such a blessing to the military families we serve. We're committed to caring for each service member, spouse, and every child of a wounded hero. That's what makes Freedom Alliance different — personal attention to those who sacrificed for our safety and freedom.
And more troops, wounded veterans, and military families need our help every day. Which is why I urgently need our most loyal friends like YOU to act now instead of waiting until January.
Please keep our vital Support Our Troops programs fully funded by renewing your 2020 support for Freedom Alliance TODAY!
Semper Fidelis,
Lt Col Oliver L. North, USMC Ret
Founder and Honorary Chairman

「Sound ART Project FLUcTUS 」
“Sound ART Project FLUcTUS” is based on the concept of “fluctus = wave” and creates Sound ART through the fusion of Light and Sound Waves. The body, mind, and soul are united and enlivened by enjoying the illustrations, dances, and VJ performances with the eyes, and at the same time enjoying the sounds, songs, and DJ arrangements with the ears and body.
The digital wave travels through time and space, evoking waves in the body, and transforming the perception of the “real”. The waves of the heart become impressive and moving, and the waves of the body become excitement and an increase in heart rate, propagating from person to person. Wave after wave calls for wave, transforming into the swell of the times.
The theme of the launch event is “SYMBOL”. Digital technology has once again entered a revolutionary period with the emergence of NFT. We hope that the development of these technologies will be a solid step toward a better world, and that they will be spoken of as a turning point; symbol in a world that has become better.
NFT and many other works created from this project will be developed on OVO, an NFT platform that is attracting worldwide attention for its original content and partnerships with popular chains and titles.

MERC Cypriot Tsouloftas returns in bid to win maiden Middle East title
2005 ADNOC Distribution UAE International Rally
FIA Middle East Rally Championship, round 1 of 9
Monday, January 31st, 2005
CYPRIOT TSOULOFTAS RETURNS IN
BID TO WIN MAIDEN MIDDLE EAST TITLE
Veteran Lebanese Saleh on track in a Mitsubishi;
Hassan Al-Sadadi flies Bahraini flag in UAE Rally;
Kuwait's Al-Nejadi leads two-wheel drive challenge
AL-AIN (UAE): Multiple Cyprus rally champion Andreas Tsouloftas arrived in Al-Ain this week to begin his preparations for the ADNOC Distribution UAE International Rally, the opening round of the FIA Middle East Rally Championship, being held under the patronage of His Highness Lieutenant General Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the Minister of Interior, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Tsouloftas won the Syrian International Rally in 2003 and finished third overall in last year's championship behind the winning Power Horse World Rally Team driver Sheikh Khalid Al-Qassimi and Qatar's Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah. He had been in contention for the overall title until the penultimate round of the series in his native Cyprus, when he was forced to retire on the first leg of the Nicosia-based Troodos Rally.
~It was not meant to be last year for me, but there are nine events this time and maybe this could be my year,~ said the Cypriot, who teams up with Savvas Laos and wheels out a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7. ~Once again there is a strong entry of all the regular drivers and it will not be easy, but the tracking system is working well in this championship now and everyone has a fair chance of taking a good result.~
Joining Tsouloftas at the official start of the event at the Hilton Hotel in Al-Ain on Wednesday afternoon will be the Lebanese veteran Michel Saleh, the former winner of the Gulf Rally Championship who tackled select rounds of the series in 2004 in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7. Saleh is the most experienced of all the drivers in the championship and is seeded at five for the 15 gravel special stages in the two-day route for this weekend's event.
Hassan Al-Sadadi is the sole representative of the Kingdom of Bahrain in his Subaru Impreza WRX. The multiple Bahrain national champion teams up with Manama-based British expatriate Keith Wake to try and put some championship points on the board before the regional series heads to his native Bahrain for round two at the end of February.
While the vast majority of the entry is made up of Group N cars, no less than four teams will take part in the event in two-wheel drive cars entered in the Super 1600 section. Leading the way is the 2003 1600 regional champion Meshal Al-Nejadi in his nimble Citroen Saxo. The Kuwaiti, partnered on this occasion by co-driver Jasem Jamal, missed out on the regional title last season on the final round in Dubai where he was beaten by the Cypriot Proton driver Nearchos Nearchou.
Al-Nejadi returns this season in a bid to set the record straight and lines up against his brother Essam in a Proton Wira. fellow Kuwaiti Shaker Al-Raeis in a Citroen Saxo and the UAE's Roger Thomas in a Peugeot 205. ~The stages in this part of the world are not ideally suited to two-wheel drive cars,~ said Al-Nejadi. ~But we have a good set-up with the Citroen and have worked hard to develop the car for the desert. We have achieved some good results in recent rallies and I am confident that we can do the same again this weekend.~
~We have made a few minor amendments to the route and the timetable in the last couple of weeks,~ admitted the event's Clerk of the Course Bengt Gustavsson. ~There has been some construction work in the area and we wanted to make sure that the stages we have chosen would run smoothly come race day.~
In a bid to promote the Al-Ain area, the organisers have arranged three new stages to run in close proximity to Al-Ain on Friday. They follow the timed super special on Wednesday afternoon and no less than eight special stages in the deserts around Sweihan on Thursday.
This weekend's event is being organised by the Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE with additional support from Etihad Airways, the official airline of the rally, Gulf Commercial Group for copiers, Sky Electronics for computers, GTS Recovery for Towing Services, Nissan Motors and the Hilton Hotel Al-Ain.

Community groups ask 4-H for technology help
4-H, Technology
By Kaitlyn Byrne
MSU Ag Communications
MISSISSIPPI STATE -- Tech-savvy 4-H’ers in Mississippi are using their skills to help their communities get connected.
The Mississippi 4-H tech team is composed of 25 senior 4-H’ers who lead technology workshops on such topics as social media and digital filmmaking. Team members are selected through a competitive process and undergo intensive training.
Linda Mitchell, 4-H technology and programming specialist with Mississippi State University’s Extension Service, said 4-H’ers interested in joining the technology team attend a 4-H-sponsored technology camp. At the camp, they complete a series of technology-related projects and are trained in specialized areas by experts.
Mitchell said communication skills are just as important as technical knowledge.
“Team members have to be able to communicate well because our focus is presenting and sharing information,” she said. “These young people have to be able to teach others how to do the work, so public speaking abilities are vital.”
The 4-H tech team works with businesses, schools and even mayor’s offices, Mitchell said.
“We do a camp for junior 4-H’ers and programs for several nonprofit organizations,” she said. “We work through the community, so a lot of service providers, including firefighters and police officers, are invited to attend the workshops.”
Mitchell said the 4-H tech team focuses primarily on computer skills, digital moviemaking technology and most recently, social media.
“When the tech team started about five years ago, we didn’t do a lot with social media, but now it is one of our biggest concentrations,” she said. “We recently helped Pontotoc and Lucedale create social media plans that included Facebook pages for the communities. The tech team members from those areas will be administrators over the Facebook pages for the first few weeks,” she said.
Mitchell said many of the 4-H’ers on the tech team have been offered jobs because of their extensive technology skills.
“We had one young lady receive a job offer at the Washington Post,” she said. “The person who offered her the job was shocked when he found out she was still in high school. That just goes to show how skill-building is important, and it shows the networking opportunities these 4-H’ers have.”
Marissa Landon, a member of George County 4-H, has been on the Mississippi 4-H tech team for two years. She said the team has expanded her knowledge of technology.
“I thought I knew a lot about technology before I joined the team, but I’ve learned so much more than I ever knew before,” she said. “I love technology, and I love helping people become more comfortable with technology, so I get a sense of satisfaction out of helping people who aren’t as familiar with it.”
Experiences with the tech team have helped her overcome shyness and feel more comfortable speaking in front of crowds, Landon said.
“A big part of what we do involves talking to people and helping them understand technology, so I’ve gained much better communication skills from it,” she said.
Landon said she plans to put her newfound communication skills to use by majoring in communications and concentrating in public relations at MSU this fall.

Fangirl Fantasy Star Wars
Zombies Take Over The Clone Wars
February 27, 2012 March 8, 2012 Fangirl Act of Valor, Asajj Ventress, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Darth Maul, GeekGirlCon, magic, Megan Crouse, Mother Talzin, Nightsisters, Star Wars, Team Unicorn, The Clone Wars, vampires, Wizard of Oz, zombies
This past week’s episode of The Clone Wars, “Massacre,” truly turned up the fantastical element, reminding fans that Star Wars was envisioned as a space opera and not necessarily a work of pure science fiction. While I’d shared my excitement about the inclusion of witches and other monsters since last year, I hadn’t really imagined the possibility of zombies when I wrote up my Magic of Star Wars post for Suvudu last week. As soon as I saw those pods hanging in the Dathomiri forest on Friday night, though, my mind started churning – “Vampires or zombies?” I liked a lot of things about this episode, including the zombies, but as Megan points out in her review for “Massacre,” the four-part arc format can leave viewers unable to judge each individual episode on its own merit.
A few other thoughts on The Clone Wars for the day:
So far this season we’ve seen major character development for Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Rex, and on a smaller scale characterization growth for Ahsoka, Jar Jar, Padmé, and now Asajj. As a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I noted some similarities to the character Faith come into play for the former Sith assassin.
The pair of droids episodes earlier this season were met with mixed fan reaction. Obvious direct homages could be found in those episodes to The Wizard of Oz and also to Willow, which definitely have a different take on magic. Looking back now, it’s interesting to consider how those episodes might have deliberately set up parts of the mystique of the magic we’re now seeing come into play with the Nightsisters, Mother Talzin, and even Darth Maul’s resurrection. In her review, Megan points out Talzin’s new take on Glinda’s glittery hovering orb, and I wonder if perhaps Orphne isn’t meant to give fans some insight into the new character Daka introduced this week. (Be sure to check out Dave Filoni’s discussion of Orphne in response to a fan question.)
Some notable fangirls are getting to participate in this four-part arc. The mohawked Nightsister Luce was voiced by Jaime King (Hart of Dixie), and Clare Grant (Team Unicorn) announced on her blog that she will be voicing a character in this week’s upcoming episode featuring more bounty hunters.
A few other notes, too:
GeekGirlCon sent out a reminder today that the submission deadline for panel ideas is March 15th.
The Kickstarter campaign for Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines has met its funding goals, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be happy for more support.
As part of my research for my upcoming novel Wynde, I went to see Act of Valor – this week’s surprising box office champ – and think this is definitely a movie worth the price of admission.

Great point about Asajj’s similarities to Faith, and I hadn’t even noticed my own reference to the Oz-like droid episodes when I called out Talzin on making like Glinda! If I get the chance to talk to Mr Filoni, whether that’s an intentional bit of continuity or not will be one of my questions.
I see Faith in that she’s taken into a family after so long being on the “outside” as a killer, then yanked back out of it. Definitely some reshaping of her.
I want to see you ask that question. If he gives fans the chance to send in questions you should totally submit that.

Lisker Cognac
When, in 1880, Christiaan Lisker Junior took over the family wine and spirits trading company founded in 1824 by his grand-father Christiaan Lisker Senior, it was already flourishing.
At the end of the 19th century, spices, precious fabrics, coffee, tea, wines and spirits from all parts of the world arrived in the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
The Dutch merchant navy wielded undisputed supremacy over all the oceans and trade was prosperous.
In this environment propitious to initiative, Christiaan Lisker decided, to perfect quality, to go and select directly the great wines of Bordeaux, the old Portos, the Sherries an, most of all, the extraordinarily pure eau-de-vie frome the billsides of South-West France, called cognac. He acquired precious lots of Grande Champagne and of old Borderies, tasted, selected and controlled the distillation and ageing if wht later became his speciality and led to his fame all over the North of Europe, the Netherlands, his native country Poland, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.
Today, passion for cognac is still alive in the family, and the great-grandchildren taste dans choose the old cognacs, with the same love and care, to export them all over the world.

OCBC’s Profit In Third Quarter Decline, Wealth Management Fees Surge
By Dale Kramer on November 18, 2019
Reportedly, OCBC (Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. Ltd.), which is Singapore’s second-largest listed bank, stated its quarterly profit dropped by 6%, impacted by a one-off charge for its Indonesian division that overshadowed progress for its lending and wealth management businesses. Particularly, higher wealth management fees aided offset a challenging atmosphere as Singapore intently dodged a slump in the third quarter owing to the trade battle between the U.S. and China—which are the two of the city-state’s largest export markets. In a statement, CEO Samuel Tsien reported, “Our performance for this quarter highlighted the aggressive strength of our assorted business franchise.”
He added, “International and national economic development persisted to slow down, and geopolitical event perils have surged. We shall stay alert and will uphold prudent risk management conducts while executing disciplined cost management.” The net profit was reported at $861 Million (S$1.17 billion) for the July–September quarter, which is the lowest level in three-quarters but on track with S$1.19 billion average projection of five analysts, as per to data from Refinitiv. The net wealth management fees increased by 11% on yearly basis, whereas OCBC’s net interest margin advanced by 5 basis points (1.77%) and net interest income jumped 6% (S$1.60 billion).
Similarly, OCBC was in news for seeking more green loans to maintain its dominance in the Southeast Asia region. Reportedly, OCBC plans to expand its banking to environment-friendly ventures following this year making the largest exposure to green loans amongst its Southeast Asian equivalents. The lender has built a team of five to target sustainable financing following foraying in green loans in the last year and is planning to add bankers, asserted Mike Ng, Head of Structured and Sustainable Finance at OCBC. To this point in 2019, OCBC participated in green lending worth $500 Million, according to data collected by Bloomberg.

Pemulen TR2
Page history last edited by Nancie Ravenel 11 years, 11 months ago
Noveon's technical page about Pemulen
Pemulen TR2 is a polymeric emulsifier produced by Noveon. A block copolymer consisting of a poly acrylic acid similar to the Carbopol resins presently used to make aqueous and solvent gels in art conservation (Carbopol 934, Carbopol 940, Carbopol 941) cross-linked with a long-chained methacrylate, this carbomer has a lipohipllic regions (the methacrylate) as well as hydrophillic regions (the acrylic acid). In the cosmetic industry literature, Pemulen TR-2 is part of a class of copolymers are referred to as acrylate/C10-30 alkyl acrylate cross polymers, having the following structure[1]:
These regions of differing affinity allow Pemulen TR2 to act as a primary emulsifier, that is, it can be used to make oil in water (O/W) emulsions without the addition of soap or surfactant.
Pemulen TR2 does not form emulsions in the same way that traditional surfactants do. To produce an oil in water emulsion, a traditional surfactant surrounds a droplet of oil to keep it suspended in oil. Nonionic surfactants used for cleaning painted surfaces, as described in Wolbers' Cleaning Painted Surfaces:Aqueous Methods, might be used in concentrations as high as 30% to form a macroemulsion.
In contrast, Pemulen TR2 is said to form stable O/W emulsions with as little as 0.4% (Noveon), binding to the oil droplets with the lipophilic portions of the polymer chain that forms the gel. The emulsions created in the conservation lab at Shelburne use Pemulen TR2 in a 1% concentration in the gel.
Gels made with Pemulen TR-2 are most viscous in the pH range of 5-9. A range of alkaline materials are suggested by the manufacturer to formulate aqueous gels using Pemulen TR-2, including sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, triethanolamine (TEA), and Ethameen C-25.
One interesting feature possessed by Pemulen is that this emulsifying agent is designed to break when the gel is in contact with a salt concentration similar to what one would find on human skin. This is a desirable in the cosmetics industry where moisturizers need to be quickly delivered and absorbed into the user's skin, but this may be a less desirable characteristic of an emulsion designed to clean works of art. In practice, this breakage of the emulsion has been observed when attempting to clean very grimy areas and allowing the gel to dwell for an extended period.
Richard Wolbers introduced Pemulen TR2 to the conservators at Shelburne Museum in his capacity of consultant to an IMLS-funded project to clean machine-oil infused paintings on canvas from the museum's 1902 Dentzel carousel. Over the two day consultancy, Richard Wolbers tested a number of cleaning methods, including free solvents, solvent mixtures, Carbopol-thickened solvent gels, as well as emulsions of benzyl alcohol in a gel made with Pemulen TR2, triethanolamine (TEA) and deionized water. He suggested the using a combination of triethanolamine and a 2% solution of Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS) in deionized water as a method of reducing the strength of the Pemulen gel.
Since the structure of Pemulen was described as being similar to that of Carbopol, concerns were raised as to the clearance of Pemulen. Wolbers referred to the research into solvent gel research undertaken at the Getty Conservation Institute for analgous results on clearance. The results of that work were published in Solvent Gels for the Cleaning of Works of Art: the Residue Question.
Testing on the environmental toxicology of Pemulen indicates that it will not degrade in a waste water treatment center, but that it would be removed via biomass treatment of waste water. Pemulen was also shown not to inhibit bacteria used in waste water clean up.

Hi Nancie. I’m going to use the group ‘we” here in my comments because, like a good WIKI contributor, I want to help take responsibility for some of the work – true read/write technology! SO I’ll try working on some of the following questions and comments: I think we should consider adding a chemical structure diagram of a Pemulen monomer, identifying lipophilic regions and branching structures. We should address why Pemulen is mildly acidic in water and how the use of different common alkalis alter the structure (perhaps all in similar ways? haven't thought about it a lot.) Then, as we discussed early, the gel becomes acidic over time, suggesting additional ionization. We need to speculate how this mechanism might occur and why and how ionic species might impact clearance and cleaning.
I realize that shameless self-promotion is normally practiced in the Twitter venue, but in the JAIC, vol. 48 (2009), pages 83 -96 I present the first part of a two-part review of both Solvent Gels for the Cleaning of Works of Art: the Residue Question and (coming later) Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Aqueous Methods. I'll be trying to infer some of the chemical structural work we need to do from information done during the writing of those reviews.

Hi Dale. It is probably an understatement to say that I'm *thrilled* that you're interested in thinking through some of these issues. And you bring up some wonderful questions. Your messages prompted me to do a quick search on Google Scholar and I note that there's an article "Thermoanalytical and microscopical investigation of the microstructure of emulsions containing polymeric emulsifier" in the Journal of Thermoanalysis and Colorimetry, Volume 94, Number 1 / October, 2008, pp.271-274. http://resources.metapress.com/pdf-preview.axd?code=c31g621502311j44&size=largest for a maddeningly tantalizing preview. Note that they indicate that they indicate that the authors note that these emulsifiers impart "steric stabilization". I'd bet that different common alkalis would alter the structure. I haven't yet sat down to make a Pemulen gel with ammonium hydroxide to see how that might work on our various projects, but its something that I really want to do in the near future.
at 6:41 pm on Jun 30, 2009
Perfect. I'll propose a set of formal trial we should set up and develop the chemical theory for, e.g. the funtion of different alkali and pH changes over time, clearance with solvents. I'm going to see if I can Greg Smith at Buffalo State and Carl Dirk, chemist at UT-El Paso to lend an occasional hand. Once I start proposing clinical experiments, we should ask for review from both our networks before getting to work carrying them out and documenting them. Perhaps folks from Mary Striegel's preservation technology blog.

India Developing Network of Coastal Radars

March 20, 2015 By Oscar Nkala – Defense News
GABORONE, Botswana — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has activated the first of the Indian Navy's planned 32 coastal surveillance radar (CSR) stations in the Seychelles, marking the beginning of the rollout of an Indian-led maritime surveillance project set to have stations in the Seychelles, the Maldives, Mauritius and Sri Lanka.
Modi activated the radar system during his recent tour of the Seychelles as he visited key Indian Ocean region allies in a move some military strategists view as an effort to forge a strong alliance to counter aggressive expansion by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) in the region since October.
Addressing senior Indian Navy and Seychelles Coast Guard officers during the commissioning, Modi said India's plan includes setting up radar stations in the Seychelles, Mauritius and the Maldives. Negotiations to set up at least 10 more in Sri Lanka are ongoing.
He said the CSRs will improve the operational capabilities of the maritime security forces of partner nations and the overall security of the exclusive economic zones which make up the region's "blue economy."
"We regard Seychelles as a vital partner in our Indian Ocean neighborhood. Our relationship is unique and special. It is founded on a deep sense of mutual trust and confidence. Our security partnership is strong and has enabled us to fulfill our shared responsibility to advance maritime security in the region," he said.
"It is a privilege to be a partner of the Seychelles in the development of its security capabilities. We also hope that Seychelles will soon be a full partner in the maritime security cooperation between India, Maldives and Sri Lanka," Modi said.
Regional defense analysts say that once completed, the 32-station surveillance project will enable the Indian Navy, through its allies, to monitor the movements of all ships operating in the Indian Ocean.
Modi pledged to donate a second Dornier maritime surveillance aircraft to boost the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities of the Seychelles Coast Guard.
India donated the first Dornier (Do 228) aircraft and some naval vessels to the Seychelles in mid-2013. Seychelles President James Michel said the stations are proof of his country's exemplary defense and security relationship with India.
"Everybody recognizes India's footprints on many facets of our economic, social and cultural development. We have an exemplary partnership in the defense and security sectors.
"This is very much reflected in our fight against piracy and the joint patrolling of our oceans and also the training of our defense personnel. We are very encouraged by the willingness of the government and people of India to work with us in the context of the development of our blue economy,"
In addition to the newly commissioned CSR on the main island of Mahe, more will be installed on the smaller islands of Farqhuar, Astove and Assumption. All are expected to be commissioned into service between July and August.
In neighboring Mauritius, Modi signed an agreement to set up eight Indian-controlled CSR stations and pledged to continue strengthening the Mauritius Coast Guard with new aircraft, naval vessels and Indian training for its seamen.
The IOR surveillance project is widely seen as India's response to China's aggressive new operations in the region. In January, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense said it will step up the deployment of Navy vessels in the area to protect its security and economic interests while contributing to regional international anti-piracy operations.
The Indian move follows recent reports suggesting that China is pushing for the establishment of at least 18 deepwater ports with African and Asian littoral states to set up bases and maintenance yards for vessels.

The Sri Lankan Navy has received the first Australian Customs and Border Protection Vessel (ACV), Corio Bay, at a flag transfer ceremony in Cairns, Australia.
Provided by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS), the Bay-class patrol vessel has been renamed the Republic of Sri Lanka Navy Ship Oshadi.
The ACBPS national director of border force capability Nigel Perry said that the flag transfer ceremony marks the passing of responsibility, authority and accountability of command from one state to another.
As part of this process, ACBPS Marine Unit Officers trained Sri Lankan Navy personnel in day-to-day operational aspects and ship maintenance.
"During the course of its 14 years as a customs vessel, Corio Bay completed 3,759 sea days and steamed 284,026nm."
"The training was comprehensive. It included activities ranging from deck work, familiarisation of electronic systems and equipment on board, to undertaking operational drills," Perry said.
"It was a highly successful 17-day training programme, which allowed crews from both nations to exchange knowledge and experience of operating in the maritime environment.
The highly agile and responsive vessel will complement the Sri Lankan Navy's existing fleet, while conducting search and rescue missions more effectively, covering a large area of the Indian Ocean.
It had been designed to perform strategic patrols, tactical surveillance and enforcement for various agencies to address the eight maritime security threats within and beyond Australia's 200nm Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

Iran Deploys Submarine to India & Sri Lanka
November 21, 2013 By Zachary Keck - thediplomat.com
A submarine-escorted naval fleet set sailed from southern Iran for Mumbai and Colombo on Wednesday.
As if Asia’s waters weren’t crowded enough with subsurface vessels, Iran has deployed one of its heavy submarines to South Asian waters as part of a larger naval fleet, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency, which has close ties with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
On Wednesday afternoon, Fars quoted Admiral Siyavash Jarreh, the Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Navy for Operations, as saying, “The (Iranian) Navy will dispatch the ultra-heavy Tareq-class submarine, ‘Younus’ as part of the Navy’s 28th flotilla of warships to the countries of East Asia.”
The report said that the 28th flotilla left a southern port in Iran hours after Jarreh made the announcement. Fars also reported that Admiral Jarreh had said Iran’s Alborz destroyer and Bandar Abbas helicopter-carrier warship would be accompanying the Younus submarine on the voyage.
Despite Jarreh’s claims that the 28th flotilla was headed to East Asia, the Fars report quoted him as saying, “The Navy’s 28th Flotilla will berth at Mumbai and Colombo ports during its voyage.” In other words, the 28th flotilla seems to be headed to South Asia — India and Sri Lanka in particular.
The purpose of the voyage is unclear, although Fars referred to it as a “crucially important extraterritorial mission of the Iranian Navy.”
Tasnim News Agency, which was established last year to report on the Arab Spring, also carried a report on Jarreh’s comments. It quoted Jarreh as saying that the flotilla’s mission is to make its “mighty and constant” presence felt in international waters. Jarreh apparently added that the flotilla would also “convey the message of peace and friendship” along the way.
The Iranian Navy seems to keep a flotilla constantly deployed, although most of them do not venture farther than the Gulf of Aden and Mediterranean Sea. Still, the trip itself is not unprecedented for Iran’s navy. Indeed, according to Indian news reports, the Bandar Abbas itself made a port call in India back in 2006. Iran’s regular naval forces, rather than the IRGC Navy, are in charge of these longer deployments, which have included port calls in China and Russia.
The more frequent deployments around the Gulf of Aden do not usually have a submarine escort, at least one that is usually announced. However, the inclusion of the Tareq-class submarine on this mission could very well just be due to the fact that it has little other purpose. Iran has three such Tareq-class submarines, which are really 877EKM Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines that Iran purchased from Russia in the late 1980s and 1990s. Although it reportedly paid about US$600 million for each of them, they are uniquely unsuited to Iran’s maritime environment. Specifically, the Persian Gulf’s shallow depth means the heavy submarines cannot operate in most of it.
The three heavy submarines have long been based in Iran’s Bandar Abbas port and are operated by Iran’s regular Navy. Some reports have suggested that Iran is building port facilities for them at its Chabahar Port, which is located in the deeper waters of the Gulf of Oman. Voyages east to the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean are thus some of the only occasions in which the Tareq-class submarines can be utilized.
The naval fleet’s voyage to South Asia comes as the P5+1 and Iran are holding another round of negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. This week also saw Iran claim to launch a new strategic drone.

Londres vend des armes à la Syrie
18/07/2013 Par Florentin Collomp Correspondant à Londres
Selon un rapport parlementaire, le Royaume-Uni a autorisé des exportations de matériel militaire à plusieurs pays sensibles dont l'Iran, la Syrie et la Chine.
Alors que David Cameron vient d'abandonner sa proposition d'armer les rebelles syriens, le Royaume-Uni a-t-il livré des composants permettant de fabriquer des armes chimiques au régime de Bachar el-Assad? Un rapport parlementaire révèle l'exportation par le pays de 12,3 milliards de livres (14 milliards d'euros) d'armement à 25 nations figurant sur sa propre liste de régimes sensibles.
Selon le comité de contrôle des exportations d'armes de la Chambre des communes, du fluorure de sodium, qui peut servir à la fabrication d'armes chimiques, a été exporté vers la Syrie ces deux dernières années. Des véhicules tout-terrain et des pièces de sonars ont également été vendus à Damas. Londres vient par ailleurs d'annoncer l'envoi de tenues de protection contre les armes chimiques aux insurgés syriens. Le gouvernement assure qu'aucun équipement «de nature à être utilisé pour faciliter la répression interne», «provoquer ou prolonger des conflits régionaux ou internationaux» n'est concerné. Mais la logique commerciale semble l'emporter sur les droits de l'homme: sur les 27 régimes à caractère sensible désignés par le Foreign Office, seuls la Corée du Nord et le Soudan Sud n'ont pas de contrat d'armement avec la Grande-Bretagne.
Fusils d'assaut au Sri Lanka
Plus de 3000 licences d'exportations de «produits stratégiques sous contrôle», qui peuvent avoir un double usage civil ou militaire, ont été signées ou renouvelées. L'Iran a bénéficié de 62 contrats, essentiellement pour du matériel cryptographique. La Russie reçoit du matériel biotechnologique, des fusils, des systèmes d'armes guidés par laser et des drones. La Chine a acheté pour 1,4 milliard de livres d'équipements, alors qu'il existe un embargo européen sur les livraisons d'armes à Pékin. Des fusils d'assaut ont été exportés au Sri Lanka, malgré les rapports sur la répression. Israël représente plus de la moitié des montants vendus à l'étranger.
Président de la commission parlementaire, l'ancien ministre de la Défense, John Stanley, s'est dit «stupéfait» par cette «somme gigantesque» - il a d'abord cru que «quelqu'un avait ajouté des zéros»! Il demande au gouvernement des «clarifications» sur l'utilisation possible des produits autorisés à la vente par les fournisseurs britanniques dans certains régimes douteux. «Le gouvernement doit reconnaître le conflit inhérent entre la promotion soutenue des exportations d'armes à des régimes autoritaires tout en critiquant en même temps leur non-respect des droits de l'homme», souligne le député.

Sri Lanka – China relations elevated to a “Strategic cooperation partnership”
Beijing, 05 June, (Asiantribune.com):
President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to elevate Sri Lanka and China relations to a “strategic cooperation partnership” at the summit talks between the two Presidents during President Rajapaksa’s State Visit to China from 27th – 30th May 2013.
During the warm and friendly discussion between the two leaders, President Rajapaksa reiterated Sri Lanka’s support for the One-China Policy and President Xi Jinping stated that China was strongly opposed to foreign countries interfering in Sri Lanka’s internal affairs.
Also during the discussion both leaders endorsed the early establishment of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the two countries to further enhance mutually beneficial trade. Towards this end an MoU was signed for the immediate constitution of joint committees to initiate this process. With the advent of an FTA, it is expected that market access would be provided in China for Sri Lankan apparels, tea, rubber, gems & jewelry, light industry products etc.
Many Agreements in the fields of political, trade, economic & investment, fisheries, defence-related science & technology and youth were signed during the visit.
Chinese President Xi Jinping assured China’s continued support for future developmental projects in Sri Lanka. China pledged a grant assistance of RMB 200 million to be utilized for the building of an international convention centre in Kandy and an arts theatre in Anuradhapura.
Upgrading of the Colombo National Hospital and the Colombo North General Hospital at Ragama; the extension of the Southern Expressway from Matara to Kataragama and the extension of the Beliatta Kataragama railway track would also receive Chinese assistance. The construction of new water supply schemes for Attanagalla, Minuwangoda and Kurunegala will also commence shortly. The construction of the Colombo – Jaffna Expressway (through Kurunegala) was endorsed during the discussion with an estimated private investment of US$ 1500 million. A US$ 400 million road rehabilitation programme will also be undertaken to complete the remaining national road network including roads in the Jaffna Peninsula and connecting roads to the A9 highway. China also agreed to support Sri Lanka tourism authority to promote the country amongst Chinese tourists to increase arrivals from China to 100,000 by 2015.
Endorsing President Rajapaksa’s rural development and economic programme (Divinaguma) initiative, President Xi Jinping offered agriculture equipment and small machineries to Sri Lanka as a means for further capacity building.
In further strengthening bilateral cooperation in the field of education a new university township development for Moratuwa University and the development of the National School of Business Management at Homagama were finalized. Other areas discussed for collaboration were the fisheries sector and youth cooperation.
Prior to the official talks between the two Presidents, the Chinese President Xi Jinping held a welcome ceremony for President Rajapaksa at the Square outside the East Gate of the Great Hall of the People. Present at the ceremony were Mme. Peng Liyuan, wife of President Xi Jinping, Yan Junqi, Vice Chairwoman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Yang Jiechi, State Councilor, and Chen Xiaoguang, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. President Xi Jinping and Mme. Peng Liyuan also hosted a dinner banquet for President Rajapaksa, Mme. Rajapaksa and the delegation.
During the visit, President Rajapaksa also had a bilateral meeting with Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao. Vice President Li requested President Rajapaksa to encourage young parliamentarians of Sri Lanka to visit China on Familiarization Programmes on a regular basis with a view to ensuring the continuity of the warm and friendly relations between the two countries. Following the meeting the Chinese Vice President hosted President Rajapaksa, Mme Rajapaksa and the delegation to a luncheon banquet. During the talks with Prime Minister Li Keqiang, both sides spoke highly of the traditional friendship between the two countries and the Chinese Prime Minister reiterated China’s support for future developmental projects in Sri Lanka including the Hambantota Industrial Zone.
President Rajapaksa also addressed the distinguished gathering of prominent leaders from foreign governments, the services sector, the business world and academia at the opening ceremony of the Global Services Forum, “Beijing Summit”, organized by UNCTAD together with the Ministry of Commerce of China and the Beijing Municipal Government. The Forum, organized on the occasion of the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing and was presided over by Prime Minister Li Keqiang of China. The Forum was a unique platform for promoting trade in services and fostering sustainable development.
During the visit President Rajapaksa also addressed the 2013 International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) Special Conference on “Promote Green Development & Build a Beautiful Asia Together” organized by the International Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the CPC in Xian. The ICAPP is a forum of political parties from Asian and Oceanic countries and attracted representatives from about 50 political parties from Asian countries and many observers from Latin American and African political parties. While visiting Xian, President Rajapaksa, Mme. Rajapaksa and the delegation were hosted to a dinner banquet by the Governor of Shaanxi Province.
President Rajapaksa paid a visit to the Lingguang Temple in Beijing on the first day of his visit and paid homage to the precious tooth relic housed at the Temple and exchanged views on religious and cultural cooperation between the temple and Sri Lanka with the Chief Priest of the Temple. The Chief Priest of Lingguang Temple blessed President Rajapaksa and Mme Rajapaksa and for the peace and prosperity of Sri Lanka.

China to train Lankan army, to provide military technology
Jun 01, 2013 brahmand.com
BEIJING (PTI): Firming up its ties with Sri Lanka, China has granted fresh development loan worth USD 2.2 billion for infrastructure projects and agreed to provide defence technology as well as training to the island nation's army.
Both sides agreed to further deepen defence cooperation and maintain exchanges between the two defence ministries and would continue to carry out cooperating in defence technology, personal training and other fields, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei told media briefing here on Friday.
He was replying to questions on the just concluded visit by Sri Lankan President Mahenda Rajapaksa during which both the nations signed a defence agreement besides a host of deals to beef up infrastructure projects in the country, deepening China's foothold there.
Hong did not disclose the details of the agreements including the one related to development of Colombo port and read out some of the highlights from joint statement issued by both the countries.
According to Sri Lankan Foreign Minister G L Peiris, China has offered USD 2.2 billion worth of new loans.
The countries agreed on USD 1.5 billion investment of private sector in the northern express highway linking Kandy in the central part of Sri Lanka to Jaffna in the north, he earlier told the media here.
The two sides agreed on the extension of a railway, the southern highway and the development of the port of Colombo, Peiris said.
This is in addition to the construction of Hambantota Port with the multibillion dollar assistance of China.
According to reports in Sri Lankan media, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang told Rjapaksa during their meeting that China will explore the possibility of establishing an industrial zone in Hambantota.
China will support Sri Lanka to develop capabilities in satellite communication, space technology and maritime industries, he said.
Hong said China has become major development partner of Sri Lanka and has played very important role in recent years.
Both sides agreed that terrorism, separatism and extremism have posed severe threat to regional security and would carry out practical cooperation to jointly tackle the three forces, he said.
"In a nutshell President Rajapaksa's visit has elevated our bilateral strategic partnership. This kind of partnership will promote bilateral political mutual trust and common development and will maintain regional peace and stability," Hong said.
"This kind of cooperation is not targeting against a third country," he said when asked about concerns in India that the deepening cooperation between the two countries was aimed at containing India.
Hong also recalled Li's recent "successful" visits to India and Pakistan which showed that China is actively involved in friendly cooperation with the South Asian countries.
"This cooperation will give rigorous boost to regional peace stability and development and will bring benefit to people of China and South Asian countries," he said.

Meteorology and Climatology
Current state and tendencies of distribution of ground frosts within the territory of Ukraine
S. V. Klok
DOI: https://doi.org/10.31481/uhmj.20.2017.04
Keywords: global climate changes, ground frosts, weather characteristics, minimum temperature, temperature gradations, recurrence
The purpose of this work consists in identifying the main trends of present-day formation and distribution of ground frosts throughout Ukraine. For this purpose the analysis of a minimum air temperature field has been conducted based on observation data at 186 stations of Ukraine for the period from 1991 to 2014. It is known that extreme values of air temperature are much more informative than its average values. Therefore analyses of meteorological extreme values usually lead to more substantial and qualitative results.
In the course of the work, occurrences of frost in April, May and September have been studied separately from each other while these three months are deemed to be the most dangerous in terms of frosts' frequency and negative impact. In order to identify trends to occurrence of this dangerous weather phenomenon a comparison of two decades of 1991-2000 and 2001-2010 has been made. In addition, the latest observation period of 2011-2014 has been considered separately taking into account the results of comparative analysis of two preceding decades.
The results of the work indicate a decrease of number of September days having this dangerous weather phenomenon during the last few years. However, recurrence of frosts remains stably high in April while in May it appears to be high only in certain years. The obtained results also indicate the fact that the northern and northeastern territories of Ukraine appear to be the most vulnerable to frosts.
Thus it should be noted that a threat of adverse consequences caused by ground frosts is still there and remains to be quite high, especially for agriculture.

What Is Sunday School
Safety Dept. | From the Office of Administration
Sunday school is a class taught on Sundays by churches. Sunday school lessons usually include both biblical and character training for children, teens, and even adults. Sunday schools were originally developed to give poor children who were working in factories the chance to learn to read, but with the advent of compulsory education, children are now being taught to read by the public school system. This gives churches the chance to teach their children values and Bible stories during Sunday school.
In most churches, Sunday school lasts for around an hour. The class is usually taught before the formal church service, and the classes are divided up by age for children and subject area for adults. While each church will handle its Sunday school differently, there are some commonalities in these sessions. They typically include prayer, lesson time, singing, and an offering.
If you are asked to teach a Sunday school class, your first concern will be finding Sunday school lessons. While most Sunday school lessons come from curriculum that has been purchased by the church, you can find free Sunday school lessons online. When looking for free Sunday school lessons, be sure to choose a program or lesson that conforms to your church's beliefs and teachings.
If you do not regularly attend church but would like your children to attend Sunday school, consider looking for a church in your area that runs a Sunday school bus. These buses will pick up your children for Sunday school, and church and then bring them home after the services. Be sure to check what safety protocols are in place before sending your children on the bus.
School safety is something that all individuals in authority in a school setting need to take into consideration. No matter how large or small a school is, if there are children who attend, the safety of those children is the school's responsibility.
That the very first school bus was drawn by horse? In 1827 George Shillibeer built it for a Quaker school and was designed to carry up to 25 children. Heat not include!

Death Panels: Palin Was Right, Says Liberal Salon.
Written by Robert Murphy on October 24, 2013
Remember in 2009 when Sarah Palin warned that Obamacare would lead to “death panels”? People ridiculed her alleged right-wing paranoia; PolitiFact christened her accusation the “Lie of the Year.” In this context, it’s ironic that a recent Slate article admits that socialized medicine goes hand in hand with government death panels. What’s even more disturbing is that the author–Adam Goldenberg–applauds the practice.
Specifically, Goldenberg explains that “Canada Has Death Panels”; this is the very title of his piece. Here’s the news hook:
Last week Canada’s Supreme Court ruled that doctors could not unilaterally ignore a Toronto family’s decision to keep their near-dead husband and father on life support. In the same breath, however, the court also confirmed that, under the laws of Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, a group of government-appointed adjudicators could yet overrule the family’s choice. That tribunal, not the family or the doctors, has the ultimate power to pull the plug.
In other words: Canada has death panels.
And yet Goldenberg’s purpose is not to warn Americans to turn back now, lest we follow Canada down this horrifying path. On the contrary, Goldenberg thinks this outcome is just swell:
Perhaps it is easier for Canadians to trust government-appointed panels, rather than judges, with decisions like these. For reasons that arguably go back to our respective foundings, Canadians tend to have more faith in our government and our bureaucratic processes than Americans do in theirs…
[T]he question is no longer whether we can “play God,” but when, how, and who should do so. When humanity demands haste, and justice demands expert knowledge, Ontario’s death panels offer a solution—whatever Sarah Palin says.

podunk1 says:
Lesson – never, never, never… believe, trust, compromise, or contract with a liar!. If you do, you may elect one, and lose your freedom and the heritage your forefathers fought and died for. Wallowing in deception is wallowing in evil!
Our country is in trouble. Returning to God is our only answer,
G.K. says:
You may want to rephrase that. To many people, government IS God.
ncbill12 says:
Make the family pay for 24/7 care for someone in that condition and see how fast the family pulls the plug.
VRG says:
At least the family will be making the decision and not some stranger who never knew the loved one and doesn't care whether or not the loved one lives or dies. It's hard to make that decision – I know.
George Morgan says:
The family all paid for insurance ' ,so why should they '?
So the fact that Canada has created a populace of maleable sheeple is a plus? That Government can better make personal decisions for people? That people are not capable of making their own decisions? That people not in Government have no ability to judge or to have individual thought processes to come to a correct solution? That the Canadian populace are retarded and we would be better served to be the same? This man is a slobbering knuckle dragging moron. Or simply evil. But certainly one or the other.
Explains the disaster Obamacare (unaffordable healthcare act) web site is . It was created by a Canadian firm. So the retarded people that this man extols created the fiasco. How apropo.
Riiiight, because Canada is the United States and the same thing could totally happen here.
I applaud your comment. The voters of this country don't vote for the good of it but for what they will get.. We are teatering on the edge of the ruination of this Great Country. Too many have lost their life and limbs so that we would be free from
a tyannacal government. If the voters aren't given a clear choice between good and evil instead of the qualifications of the past candidates it doesn't look good for the America I grew up in.
spencor2 says:
One thing about Sarah Palin is that she is honest! The minute the liberals attacked her, I knew they were afraid of her! Why? Because she is honest! The left cannot stand truth! Obama is the epitome of dishonesty: He is an inveterate liar as has been documented on every recorded statement he has made; he is a deceiver of the worst kind; he is constitutionally ineligible to be President; he is a traitor as proven by his involvement in the Fast and Furious scandal, the Benghazi scandal, in both cases Americans died; the IRS scandal, and his masterpiece, Obamacare which was never intended to provide quality health care, but was designed to control every aspect of the people's lives, to crush small business and to wreak havoc on the economy and bring America down! The Democrat talking heads on the various news programs ought to be ashamed, but that goes to their character–they have no shame! But then, they "boo'd" God at the Democrat National Convention!
Goober says:
Just google "73743-healthcare.wmv" this will explain why healthcare is so expensive, plain and simple a youtube video that about illegal aliens have destroyed our healthcare system. You won't believe what you hear and see.
J. Mitchell says:
When I first seen barak obama I did not know who he was, this is years ago before the disaster of his election. I told a friend this man is evil, just look at his eyes. I was right. He opens his mouth and the lies just flow out. He hates OUR country, military and OUR God, however you worship. I pray for each night for OUR country, military and Our Savior.
JPaul says:
Gober, it is much more complicated than just illegal aliens. There are too numerous concerns, including, insurance companies, unions, government health care, health regulations, law suites, equipment, medicine, increase in average life span, supply and demand, inflation, etc, etc.
Marilynn Reeves says:
America is not the country we grew up in anymore. Entitlement is the word of today's America and it has to stop. People today don't want to work because we have made it too easy for them not to. The 1st requirement for any help should be to have some type of job.
Roy Acryin says:
AMEN!! History has proven time and time again that when a Godly nation turns its back on God, they suffer. But when that nation returns to God, they are forgiven and prosper. The history of the Jews is a prime example.
T M says:
According to the World Health Organization the United States spent more on health care per capita ($8,608), and more on health care as percentage of its GDP (17.2%), than any other nation in 2011. As a percentage of GDP, health care expenditures are rising faster than any other sector. Health *outcomes* have remained stagnant or worsened in the last decades, with the epidemics of obesity and sedentary jobs costing US citizens hundreds of billions of dollars.
Someone has to make the hard decision to deny a 400 pound 70-year old his 6th triple bypass ($200,000 each – the money's not coming out of his pocket!!) when it can only add up to 1 year to his life, and he only has a 40% chance of surviving the procedure. 'Death panels' are a blessing. Our curse is having easy access to prohibitively expensive and minimally beneficial procedures.
Alphonso says:
How about if they decide to put the money on a scale and then look at using that amount to keep a sick innocent person alive – or use the same amount to keep someone that is a murderer, rapist, scumbag on death row alive.
Wait, they say the death row person needs dignity and the judge and jurymay have been mistaken !!! Does not the same appy to the ill person (and perhaps even more so) ???
We have more things to do than resources. Hence all things should be efficient and not WASTE precious resources, resources that could, should, would be spent solving other problems !!!
bluetowes says:
Correct Diane.
WhiteFalcon says:
I felt from the beginning that Sarah was right on the money. These commieonazicraats that are in power are absolutely no better than Hitler or Sadam Husain or any of many others that can be named.
Unfortunately, comas don't magically reverse themselves after one's loved one has been in one for several years.
Again, tell the family they need to take their loved one home and care for them themselves while waiting for a literal miracle.
Even Gary has pointed this out – when families have to pay the freight they become remarkably rational on how much money they're willing to spend on someone who has no realistic chance of recovery.
No, it's all public money up there.
When the family is so disconnected from reality (multiple years in a coma), let them be the ones to spend $10,000+ a month keeping their loved one alive at home.
Not on the taxpayers' dime, even if it is Canada.
Danno says:
Anyone who believes in "death panels" should lead by example and kill themselves.
patsch13 says:
Canadians faith in their government goes back to years of acceptance and apathy–much like many Americans attitudes. Unfortunately, the US govt won't have that easy a road go with O-BOMB-a Care. It's imploding on its own, now all it needs is lots of pushback from citizens to retire this ill-conceived and poorly executed sorry excuse for a law.
Get the Marxist out of our house!!!
Maybe you should start with your worthless self
Kathy Sudduth says:
Then why did Dr. Kevorkian go to prison?
It is amusing that Shane's "rebuttal", and I use that term generously here, is actually for Adam Goldenberg, who writes for Salon. Gary North is only pointing out liberals admit this now…so what does that make Shane?
Gil says:
That's exactly what is supposed to happen: either they pay for his care or appeal to charity – failing that they pull the plug.
We know who the problem is and where they are located. Take your comments to your community. Run for office. Attend community meetings. Get off the couch and make a change. Clean up local government and work your way up. Take back States Rights. Don't hire illegals. Buy American. Take a stand.
If the family purchased LTC insurance, fine – they've paid for the care, assuming their benefits are still in force after 3 years.
But again, no health insurance pays for long term care – only LTC insurance.
Most people here in the U.S. who need this level of care for years are on Medicaid – and those are taxpayer dollars. Usually the state share comes from your local property taxes.
No family has the right to demand I pay their bills indefinitely simply because they can't accept the reality that their loved one will never recover.
Lets make sure that all the "elite politicians" that voted for obamacare are SIGNED-UP! That way, they can see for themselves how death panels can serve their own families.. (of course this would never happen to them, even if they signed up, they will always make themselves the "exceptions.)
Boo hoo. Pass the magnum of sour grapes, anonymous.
Bryan76016 says:
We need some way to make NEWS organizations "Eat Their Words" when they lie or mistakenly print a lie, the need to "recant" ten fold and at the same time of day that they "mistakenly" (bias showed) said/printed their lie. Otherwise lose their "news" credentials.
Because the nation still had a conscience when the "Dr." (doctors heal they "do no harm.") was sentenced. Now that "their conscience is seared with a hot iron" no sin is too great to accept. That's how we got obama.
bless2live says:
Death panels for America's finest citizens VS no death panels for America's people convicted of murder(s)! Kill babies in the womb but keep convicted murders alive! America has some twisted corrupt lawmakers!
Evil.
Howard Quinn says:
Allowing those who sneak across our borders,take our welfare,work jobs for money under the table, leave their country in shambles, legal status or even citizenship makes my citizenship worthless. It also defiles those who gave their lives for this country and constitution. We must send them all back to their corrupt countries and leave us in peace.
It seems to me that the only way to solve this problem is to act accordingly against the people in Washington that are on a course to modify our way of life, so as to allow the government full control of our money,family,health and daily lives.
Vote them out all over this country city,,state and Federal.
Betsyb says:
Slippery slope – who gets to decide what's COST EFFECTIVE? What's best for the community, the tribe? Is that America?…or some other culture?
Ok: I don't want to pay for fat people's knee replacements and hernias, drug users' rehab, alcoholics' liver transplants, junk food eaters' triple bypasses, and loose women's birth control AND ABORTIONS!
Tell me me why I should pay for these when I, not perfectly but to the best of reasonable ability, live responsibly? I've heard that the majority of health problems are self-inflicted (poor eating and sleeping habits, drugs, stress, sloth, etc.).
OregonBuzz says:
Evil is the absence of God, as dark is the absence of light.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”. – Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Nazi Propaganda
Sutekh says:
Death panels administrated by appointees of the ruling political party no less.
Just anothger way to describe a pogrom.
Wait'll the Serba get a handle on this one.
OldMexicanblog says:
Re: TM,
— According to the World Health Organization the United States spent more on health care per capita ($8,608), and more on health care as percentage of its GDP (17.2%), than any other nation in 2011.–
I don't understand. Why is spending more a bad thing all of a sudden? I thought we didn't have a spending problem.
Re: ncbill12,
— Unfortunately, comas don't magically reverse themselves after one's loved one has been in one for several years.–
That's not a rebuttal to what VRG is arguing, ncbill. You're not addressing the free choice implication of his comment.

Words and Colors From God
Home » Our Philosophy » Our Core Values – 2
Bartley House Publications has identified 14 core values for which each authors shall incorporate into their writings. The following is a continuation of our 14 core values:
Integrity: Godly character is the only proven platform for ministry influence. We serve with integrity to foster a climate of righteousness and accountability in all relationships. Harnessing one’s life resources with personal integrity and discipline increases ministry effectiveness. A heart and life that is fully surrendered to God becomes one’s most treasured instrument.
Christian Worldview: Bartley House Publications values and maintains that a broad base of academic knowledge is fundamental to becoming an educated person who effectively reasons and interacts in society. At the center of a Christian view of life and the world is the premise that mankind and the universe in which they live were created by the God revealed in Scriptures. God is the source of all truth, not just religious truth; and the Bible provides the basis for the ordering of all knowledge. The authors associated with Bartley House Publications shall integrates thought and life across a broad biblical/theological academic range and fosters in their readers a lifelong appreciation for the independent value of learning and knowing (Proverbs 1:7 and Luke 2:52).
Servant Leadership: BPH values the example set within the Christ model for the servant-leader. The Servant-Leader must learn to serve Jesus Christ and His Church, encourages each other and the world-at-large with excellence, humility, and a submissive attitude so that all leadership avenues clearly recognizes the worth of each individual before God. Bartley House Publications value servant leadership that focuses upon achieving our mission and remaining true to its biblical foundation. BPH believe that servant leadership is the only model of leadership that ultimately glorifies Jesus Christ, the head of the Church.
A Moral/Ethical/Holy Life: Bartley House Publications believes that God calls His people to strive to live in alignment with His character and will. BPH values the highest of holy, ethical and moral standards because we believe this is the code of conduct that is established in Scriptures for those who call themselves Christ Followers. It is Bartley House Publications’ belief that a person can obtain these high biblical standard, not through human effort alone, but by the work of the Holy Spirit through the process of sanctification. “Be ye holy” is not an archaic phrase that is to be relegated to the church of past generations, but is just as relevant today. Holiness is the expected lifestyle of God’s children regardless of a person’s culture. Holiness goes far beyond the issue of ethics and morality; however, these things are an integral part of a holiness lifestyle. It is our belief that a person is to be honest in all matters of life. A person is to honor all promises and vows made, including payment of debts. The development of a Christ-like character is of more value that many successful achievements.
Excellence in Education and Intellectual Development: Responsible Christian discipleship involves bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. BPH maintains that God deserves the best. Bartley House Publications encourages its authors to train the mind through rigorous programs of study designed to enhance knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and shape biblical worldview. Fervency is no substitute for quality. Therefore, Bartley House Publications values the notion of not just doing what is expected but going above and beyond the standard expectations for our authors to provide excellence in their works for which our readers are seeking.
The Global Community and Diversity: Every person bears God’s image and is loved by Him. The BHP community purposes to reflect this biblical perspective in all relationships and to value each individual in light of this truth. Bartley House Publications values ministry that is relational, building a genuine sense of community that is united through trust in the living God. In Christ, believers from diverse cultures and backgrounds are one body.

Gray House
First Parish Parsonage
Also known as the Gray House
The parking lot and shopping center opposite from the Pine Hill Cemetery were developed about 1960. Prior to that time, two houses were in this location. The northernmost was the parsonage for the First Parish Church, built in 1787 for Rev. Robert Gray, and was used until 1832. Worthy of remembrance is the fact that no rum was consumed at the raising of the frame of the parsonage, an event of startling importance in 1787. In those days, men engaged in the raising would never fix the ridgepole in its place until their cry, "the ridgepole won't suit!" was answered by a bottle of rum. A sip all around would remedy the difficulty in a marvelous manner. The bottle was then thrown in the air, oftentime with doggerel verses being repeated, and the lucky boy who could get it first became its owner. This was the local custom, but at the raising of the parsonage, no rum was furnished. This occasioned these lines:
"Jerry is gone and Robert is come,
So we'll put on the ridgepole without any rum..."
alluding to the departing pastor Jeremy Belknap and the incoming Mr. Gray.
From the 1987 Heritage Walking Tour booklet.
