I wanted to make a simple but good dessert for my family this week, and use the ingredients I had on hand. Of course I went to Pinterest and found a few recipes that I could try.
This one look delicious and easy to make. I had all the ingredients except the cake which I did buy for this recipe, but I am sure you can make it as well. This is made with Jello and just some cake.
Break ½ of the angel food cake in to chunks and put in the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
Cut in to squares and serve immediately. | 2019-04-26T00:24:37 | https://ruthycancook.com/2018/04/09/dessert-for-this-week/ |
New and old, ephemeral and eternal—a snapshot of what endears Houston to us, right here and now.
One of the greatest, and most maddening, things about Houston is its constant evolution. What we love today, in many instances, may be gone tomorrow. On the other hand, there are exciting changes on the horizon for our shape-shifting metropolis we simply cannot yet imagine. We kept this in mind while exhaustively researching (and debating) our very favorite things in Houston, as of August 2016—new and old, ephemeral and eternal. Taken together, they form a snapshot of this place where we live, right now. We hope you venture forth, Houstonia in hand, to experience them all, while this issue’s hot in your hands. | 2019-04-26T08:47:00 | https://www.houstoniamag.com/features/best-of-the-bayou-city |
The vision of Hong Kong in my mind’s eye before our recent visit was quite similar to the Hong Kong that I described in my last blog; soaring skyscrapers of glass and steel amalgamated into an iconic skyline along the harbour, double-decker trams gliding through busy streets, flashing noticeboards competing for attention. However, Hong Kong is a lot more diverse than I realised. It is made up of 3 distinct geographical regions – Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and The New Territories – divided by their historical time of acquisition by the UK.
My last blog focused on the areas we visited in Kong Kong Island and Kowloon, but two of the attractions that we wanted to see – the ‘Big Buddah’ and Tai O fishing village – required us to take a day-trip to Lantau Island (see left hand side of the map below), part of The New Territories. Lantau is the largest of Hong Kong’s islands (almost twice the size of HK Island itself), and more than half is covered by mountainous country parkland.
The Hong Kong metro system conveniently links Hong Kong Island to Kowloon and on to Lantau, but to reach the Big Buddah we had to take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car from the Tung Chung terminal to Ngong Ping village. It’s a popular route (despite arriving early we still spent an hour snaking up and down roped-aisles in the ticket queue*), but once we were up-and-away the panoramic view from the carriage was incredible!
* For a few extra dollars you can get a ‘Crystal’ cabin which is glass bottomed; we bought Crystal tickets for the return journey which turned out to be a good idea since the queue for Crystal on the way up was huge while on the way back it was actually much smaller than for the normal cabins.
At 5.7km the ‘Ngong Ping 360’ is the longest bi-cable ropeway in Asia.
Stunning view over Tung Chung Bay.
As we neared the end of the cable car journey the silhouette of the Tian Tan Buddha – informally known as the ‘Big Buddha’ – materialized on the horizon, sitting atop a tree-covered hill, surrounded by an endless sea of tree-covered hills. It was a misty morning and the sight was quite magical.
Exiting the cable car terminal we followed the stream of people into Ngong Ping village, and were funneled past a collection of souvenir shops, noodle restaurants, teahouses, a Starbucks and a Subway. The whole village looked incredibly new and reminded me of a ski-resort with it’s single-story wooden-roofed buildings (the bright blue sky and crisp winter air probably helped with the association).
The Tian Tan Buddha is a seated representation of Lord Gautama (on whose teachings Buddhism was founded) and was unveiled in 1993 to symbolise the harmonious nature between man and nature, people and faith. Cast in bronze he is 26m high (34m if you count the base podium), weighs 250 metric tons and faces North towards mainland China to look over the Chinese people.
His gigantic shape loomed above us as we climbed the steep flight of steps up the hill, getting ever larger as we got higher until he captivated our entire view. At the top we could walk a full circle around the viewing platform beneath the Buddha, and were rewarded by a beautiful view over Ngong Ping village and the remote ‘Po Lin’ Buddhist monastery and temple complex (built in 1924).
Surrounding the Buddha are six smaller bronze statues known as “The Offering of the Six Devas” that are posed offering gifts of flowers, incense, a lamp, ointment, fruit, and music.
Our journey to see the Buddha was long compared the the 20-or-so minutes we spent there, but I would really recommend making the effort; it was a truly hypnotic sight and a meaningful demonstration of the commitment to the Buddhist faith in this area.
From Ngong Ping we caught the #21 bus to Tao O on Lantau’s west coast, a 15 minute journey in which Lantau island morphed in front of our eyes from alpine-esque ski-resort to Cornish-esque fishing village. Little boats bobbed in the harbour and – in contrast to the pretty chalets in Ngong Ping – the surrounding buildings looked weather-beaten and functional.
We entered the village through a street lined with trestle-tables laden with miscellaneous dried fish and seafood, glistening like crystals in the cold winter sunlight. For a fishing village it didn’t really smell of fish, although I imagine that may change in the summer months! The leaflet we collected with our cable car ticket listed local delicacies as shrimp paste, salted egg yolks and fish, steamed glutinous rice cakes and rice dumplings.
It was approaching lunchtime and we were craving something hot to warm us up, so we ducked into a tiny restaurant (essentially the front room of someone’s house) and ordered steaming bowls of noodle soup with cuttlefish (Matt) and wantons filled with shrimp and pork (me). It was delicious, and really hit the spot.
Our energy topped up, we continued through the village until we reached the ramshackle web of interconnected stilt houses which are home to the Tanka people, a community of around 2,000 fishermen and women who’ve built their houses on stilts above the tidal flats of Lantau Island for generations. Their homes are at once sturdy – with concrete stilts driven deep into the seabed – and incredibly fragile, as evidenced by those which have succumbed to the watery elements.
Apparently Tai O used to be one of the biggest villages on Lantau with 30,000 residents, but the stability of a 9-5 job downtown has drawn most young people away from the traditional fishing lifestyle; the remaining residents now rely on tourism to supplement the income from fishing.
While exploring the labyrinth of stilt houses via the rickety wooden walkways we came across the Three Lanterns Cafe, where a friendly lady informed us of their open-door policy and welcomed us to take a look at the view from the upstairs terrace; here we found three small tables and a great view over the rope-drawn ferry bridge.
We decided to stay for a slice of cheesecake and some jasmine green tea and ended up chatting with the co-owner, a guy from Devon (UK) who it turned out was married to the lady who invited us in. He told us that he spends half his time in the UK and the other half in Tai-O helping to run the cafe, a favourite location for professional and amateur photographers alike who are keen to capture the moment the sun sets above the bridge in the distance.
Once I’d exhausted every photo opportunity in the village we made our way back to the bus stop, but not before we had tasted some of the street-food snacks… delicious!
Matt: crushed peanuts in a glutinous rice dumpling. Emma: Egg waffle.
We had an incredible time in Hong Kong – the lingering Britishness of Hong Kong Island was just what I needed on the run up to Christmas (I’ve since devoured the M&S mince pies that we smuggled back to Shanghai!). I enjoyed the tram ride up Victoria Peak and the view over the city, and I could have spent a whole week wandering around the narrow SoHo streets; however, Tai O village was the highlight of the trip for me. The collection of stilt houses was unlike anything I’ve seen before and – for the moment at least – it still feels authentic. Plus, you can’t beat a good egg waffle!
Most fantastic.i really like budha the prophet of peace n non-voleince.most amaging hong kong.
Yes, it was very special to see the Buddha! | 2019-04-24T20:32:47 | https://threeyearsinshanghai.com/2018/01/08/hong-kong-big-buddah-tai-o-village/ |
A new report has recommended that France's laws be changed, to allow African cultural treasures removed during France's colonial period to be returned to their countries of origin.
When French President Emmanuel Macron commissioned the report last year, it signaled a radical policy shift. Currently, the country's law strictly forbids the government from ceding state property, even in well-documented cases of pillaging, DW wrote.
In a speech in Burkina Faso in November 2017, President Macron raised hopes that he would put change in motion. "Africa's heritage cannot just be in European private collections and museums," he said at the time.
He tasked French art historian Benedicte Savoy and Senegalese writer Felwine Sarr to draw up the conditions.
They have recommended changing French law to allow the restitution of cultural works if bilateral accords are struck between France and African states.
The change would apply in particular to works held in museums which were "transferred from their original territory during the French colonial period", the report said.
Some of the works were bought, bartered or sometimes simply stolen, by soldiers, explorers and others during the colonial era. Of the estimated 90,000 African artworks in French museums, around 70,000 are at Paris' Quai Branly museum, created by former president Jacques Chirac, who was a keen admirer of African and Asian art.
The ownership controversy is nothing new. A UNESCO convention against the export of illicit cultural goods, adopted in 1970, called for the return of cultural property taken from a country but it did not address historic cases, including from the colonial era.
With museums fearing they could be forced to return artifacts, former colonial powers have been slow to ratify the convention: France only did so 1997, Britain in 2002, Germany in 2007 and Belgium in 2009.
The issue was again thrust into the spotlight in 2016 when President Patrice Talon of Benin asked France to return items including carvings, scepters and sacred doors from the Palaces of Abomey, formerly the capital of the kingdom of Dahomey.
France refused, citing its law that museums are forbidden from permanently parting with any piece in their collections. President Macron proved to be a president more sympathetic to the cause.
With the release of this report, Marie-Cecile Zinsou, a daughter of Benin's former prime minister and president of the Zinsou Art Foundation in Cotonou, said, "Today it feels as if we're just a step away from recovering our history and being finally able to share it on the continent."
But restitution won't happen automatically. In order to begin any restitution process, African countries must lodge a request with French authorities, based on inventory lists.
Meanwhile, the prospect has angered some curators and art dealers who say it would eventually empty museums and galleries in Western countries. They point to the fact that many objects came from kingdoms which no longer exist, and that in many cases the owners can claim they were obtained legitimately.
Critics also say the move could prompt private French collectors to move their works out of France for fear of seizure. Some have also raised practical concerns, such as the danger of artifacts being stolen or poorly handled by inexperienced museums in politically unstable countries.
But, as African nations applaud the report, and the wheels of French bureaucracy lumber towards changing the law, other European countries are examining their own collections of African cultural artifacts.
Germany is also considering what to do with the items stolen from its colonial-era African empire, which ran from 1884 to the end of the First World War, in countries including Cameroon and Namibia.
In September 2017, Germany's Minister of Culture Monika Grütters suggested a model similar to that used by the German Center for Lost Cultural Property. The center seeks out owners of art plundered by Nazis in order to return the items.
The debate could ignite again in 2019 when a major new ethnological museum, the Humboldt Forum, opens its doors. Its collection includes artifacts taken from former German colonies. | 2019-04-22T06:03:53 | http://www.iran-daily.com/News/234704.html?catid=11&title=French-art-dealers-angry-after-report-urges-return-of-African-treasures |

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) will recognize Marshall A. Lichtman, MD, of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, with the 2017 Wallace H. Coulter Award for Lifetime Achievement in Hematology. Dr. Lichtman will be honored for his notable service to the field of hematology as an educator, mentor, researcher, and physician throughout his 51-year career.
The Wallace H. Coulter Award for Lifetime Achievement in Hematology is named after the late Wallace Coulter. Mr. Coulter was a prolific inventor and engineer, best known for developing the Coulter Principle, a method that revolutionized the use of basic blood tests to screen for disease. This award commemorates Mr. Coulter’s innovative spirit, visionary leadership, and entrepreneurship, and it is bestowed on an individual who has demonstrated lifetime achievement and leadership in education, research, mentoring, and practice. ASH President Kenneth C. Anderson, MD, will present Dr. Lichtman with this award on December 10, during the 59th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition in Atlanta.
Dr. Lichtman is Professor Emeritus in the Departments of Medicine (Hematology/Oncology) and of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester, New York. He is revered as a compassionate, knowledgeable, and skillful physician and teacher who is frequently consulted in the diagnosis and management of complex hematologic problems. He has authored several textbooks, multiple book chapters, and numerous scientific articles with a broad influence on hematology. Notably, he has co-edited Williams Hematology for seven editions and contributed numerous chapters on blood cell diseases to each edition. He was named a Master of the American College of Physicians in 1994 in recognition of his skills as a physician. While continuing his professorship and activities at Rochester, he served as Executive Vice President for Research and Medical Affairs at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. During this time, he expanded the Society’s Translational Research Program and started the Clinical Scholars and Specialized Centers of Research grant programs, the latter of which was later named in his honor.
His research interests have included detailed studies of blood cell membrane biochemistry and biophysics; the hemolytic anemias; hemoglobin function; hematopoiesis; marrow ultrastructure and cell release; the hyperleukocytic leukemias; the pathobiology of the myeloid neoplasms; and, more recently, historical aspects of hematologic diseases. His 44-page chapter entitled “Historical Landmarks in the Understanding of Lymphoma” is highly regarded, as is the text Hematology: Landmark Papers of the 20th Century.
During his 51-year career, Dr. Lichtman served on multiple editorial boards, including those of Blood, Experimental Hematology, the American Journal of Hematology, and Stem Cells. He was Editor-in-Chief of Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases for 14 years and has continued to write thoughtful commentaries on issues in hematology.
He has been a member of the Hematology Study Section of the National Institutes of Health. He served as a Governor of the American National Red Cross and as Chair of the American Red Cross Scientific Council. Dr. Lichtman has received several honors and awards, including election to the American Society of Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians, as well as the University of Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences’ Distinguished Alumnus Award and the Rochester Academy of Medicine’s Certificate of Merit. He also served as Dean for Academic Affairs and Research and, subsequently, as Dean of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
A former President of ASH (in 1989), Dr. Lichtman has been an active member of the Society for 47 years. His roles include serving on the Executive Committee and the Advisory Board, as well as serving as Chair of the Scientific Affairs Committee and on the Nominating and Finance Committees. | 2019-04-25T12:11:01 | https://www.ascopost.com/issues/september-25-2017/ash-honors-marshall-a-lichtman-md-with-lifetime-achievement-in-hematology-award/ |

Shawn Mendes just dropped his video for 'A Little Too Much,' and let us tell you: It is exactly the right amount.
The emotional track, which appears on his upcoming debut album 'Handwritten,' is gorgeously brought to life in the black and white video, which simply shows the young Canadian performing on stage to an empty audience, armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar and those amazing vocals.
"Sometimes, it all gets a little too much / But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up," Shawn belts out on the moving chorus. "And you don't have to be afraid / Because we're all the same / And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much."
It is an emotional -- and important -- reminder that no matter how defeated we're feeling, never give up. And we love how the haunting simplicity of the video -- coupled with the genuine feelings Shawn pours into the song -- really drives that point home.

For determined people, failure is simply an unavoidable and valuable bump on the learning curve of life. It is the inevitable result of risk-taking and is a true ally of progress, providing valuable hindsight, helping develop perspective and building the resilience required for a journey of discovery.
For those lacking determination, it is often a lonely, unfortunate endgame. | 2019-04-26T07:59:46 | https://www.scottmacleay.com/blog-thoughts/2016/5/24/thoughts-on-determination |

The hostel will help you book your ferry and you can rent a bike at the hostel. I feel so sad about leaving this place, it was amazing!
Great party hostel! The group of backpackers felt like friends and there's relax atmosphere between the staf and backpackers. Beds are oke but not great. There's a tourist-information corner and fix your tickets and transfer to half/fullmoon party.
Stayed at echo beach over the full moon party period, had a great experience!! Loads of fun people and had the time of my life. Very basic rooms and facilities but that wasn’t a problem since you’ll spend most of your time at the common area which is great!!
Great atmosphere, beautiful beach and good breakfast! The room was okay, but I couldn't sleep in the bed under the airconditioning because it was broken and freezing cold. In the rest of the room it was pretty hot.. They tried to make it, but that didn't really help. Except for that, it was all fine!
Leuk hostel als je van uitgaan en drukte houdt en makkelijk om mensen te leren kennen. Het hostel ligt aan een mooi strand en heeft een leuke, grote sociale ruimte. Er werd goed schoongemaakt alleen waren de bedden erg slecht en er zaten vlekken in het beddengoed. Het eten van de keuken was goed, voor een goede prijs. Via het hostel kun je makkelijk een scooter huren om het eiland te verkennen. Er zit een hele goede koffiezaak tegenover met een Nederlandse eigenaar!
Echo beach is where you go when you want very relaxed and great communal space and meet nice people. Perfect for solo travelers. Unfortunately the dorm AC broke down every day causing horribly sweaty sleeples nights (shoul’ve gone to the hammocks outside).
I looooved the atmosphere in this hostel (me being a solo travel) more than anything but that was pretty much it. Rooms weren’t cleaned during my 5 day stay (and hadn’t been either upon my arrival) and were basically disgusting. Never saw so much hair and dirt on a floor. Showers on our side were cold (other showers were close by though) and mattresses were stone-hard and plastic. Only small lockers available downstairs although there is plenty of space to put some lockers in the rooms.
I had a bad experience at Echo Beach because of several issues. I stayed 6 nights at Echo Beach (1night in Echo Beach and 5 nights in Baan Thai across the street). We had several problems at Baan Thai. Electricity has failed several times. Even a complete night (no airco, no lights, no charging phones etc). That same night there was no water (can't brush teeth, no toilet, no shower). In Echo Beach itself there was mold in the bathrooms and a lot of showers and toilets couldn't be locked. | 2019-04-25T21:43:54 | https://www.dutch.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Echo-Beach-Backpackers/Koh-Phangan/67962 |

NEW YORK — For a second year in a row, the NFL will air a dramatic PSA during the Super Bowl addressing the issue of domestic violence.
This year’s video shows a succession of text messages between two friends. One friend is encouraging another named Jess to attend a Super Bowl party, but Jess says she can’t come because “Jake is in one of his moods. I should prob not go out.” The alarmed friend asks if Jess is okay. Jess never answers.
The video, like the one aired during Super Bowl 49, was created by NoMore.org, an educational campaign raising awareness about domestic violence.
Last year’s video featured footage of a home that had clearly been the scene of an attack. A woman’s 911 call, discretely asking for help, can be heard as the rooms of the partially destroyed home are shown.
That group’s PSA came on the heels of embarrassing domestic violence cases involving NFL stars and criticism of the way the league handled them. The most notorious case involved Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, seen in a hotel video knocking out his girlfriend, who later became his wife. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell came under fire for the way in which Rice’s situation was handled: the player was only required to sit out two games. After film of Rice hitting the woman surfaced, Goodell said that the two game suspension had been a mistake, and he made the suspension indefinite.
During the 2015 season, photos emerged of bruises on the ex-girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy following a 2014 incident. Hardy was convicted of assault, but those charges were dropped on appeal when the ex-girlfriend stopped cooperating with prosecutors.
The Cowboys rejected suggestions that Hardy be cut from the team.

Blister packaging is used for small products like toy cars, medicines and batteries. Any product that is contained in anything that has a plastic front and another material at the back is considered as blister package.

Effectiveness of design is emphasized today as a management resource along with human, material and monetary resources as well as information and time. However, design involves various visible and invisible factors in a complex fashion, making it difficult, if not impossible, to arrive at desirable solutions. My study encompasses ideal processes for design per se and design development by research and analysis of the relations of objects and producers, objects and users, and objects, producers and users based on the situation in society as a background.
Presently, I am conducting some studies focused on improving 'QOL' and related to “Service”, “Elderly people”, and “Energy” based on the change of situation regarding 'objects and producers', 'users', and 'society'.
I have taught Design Theory (Undergraduate Programs), Industrial Design Fundamental Practice B (Undergraduate Programs), Theory and Practice of Design System (Undergraduate Programs), Practice of Industrial Design (Undergraduate Programs), Senior Project I/II (Undergraduate Programs), Design Management (Graduate Programs), Strategic Architect Project A/B (Graduate Programs), Cognitive Theory of KANSEI Value (Graduate Programs).
I am engaged in design lectures for high school students in open lectures.
As international collaborative activities, I got a sabbatical leave in 2012 fiscal year, stayed in IIT Institute of Design in the USA as a visiting scholar for about 1 year. During the time, I also visited Parsons The New School for Design (New York), Pratt Institute (New York), Arizona States University (Phoenix), Art Center College of Design (Los Angeles) and California College of the Arts (San Francisco) in the USA, and Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Port Alegre) in Brazil. I exchanged information of education and research, and promoted the personnel exchange. In addition, I utilized the overseas dispatch system of the Faculty of Design and stayed in Parsons The New School for Design (New York) for around four months in 2015 fiscal year. I exchanged information of education and research, promoted the personnel exchange.
1998.04I have investigated and analyzed the domestic electrification product and the optical instruments etc. as an object, from product quality and time serial viewpoint, concerning the relationship of product diversification and design development..

"This is part of my manuscript for a session with Keen Bull on how additive manufacturing will impact the world, at this years DIF-festival.
We believe three things are happening with organizations at the moment..
First, advantage of scale has given far more of us increased material wealth, access to mass education, longevity of life increased social complexity and so forth.
The mass production system has enabled us to grow as human beings. But as we grow we have also come to demand more from the business organizations we depend upon for consumption and employment (1).
This hasn’t been a part of the organizations toolbox.
Organizations have had a blueprint that was tailored for mass efficiency — but not meaningfulness, identity, belonging and individualization.
These elements, which are now essential to the output and progress of an organization were deemed problematic and irrelevant in the old system.
So there is a conflict at the moment between a new generation of employeeneeds and what the current organizational tools can offer.
The second thing is that there is an increase in market complexity and uncertainty. We are in an era where digitization has led industries to converge and mutate.
So this system of certainty and predictability which was built for stability in certain times. Is suddenly finding itself in uncertainty. Unable to control for the asymmetric relationships that are appearing between their customers and new organizations.
The only thing certain becomes uncertainty.
Thirdly the iron law of industry — advantage of scale itself — is being disrupted.
In fact scale is turning into a disadvantage due to the massive cost of producing non-standardized parts.
Scale, which once was a barrier to entry for new companies has turned into a barrier for incumbents to answer the demand patterns of the market.
As advantage of scale breaks down every scaffolding around it seems to shake or go down with it.
When the iron law of efficiency — which has cost individuals, ideas, talents and meaningfulness so much — comes crashing down we are GIVEN the opportunity to redesign how we organize and create together.
And advancements in Additive Manufacturing is on a path to softening one of the hardest kernels in the midst of the industrial corporate landscape — the industrial machine.
With Additive manufacturing we are envisioning an ability for the industrial landscape to start delivering on the emerging demand in the market for identity and individualization.
As we are moving from this organization designed and trained to make as little friction as possible, where people are situated into narrow compartments with clearly and precisely defined roles and goals — to an organization where friction, creativity, outliers have no added cost. They are in fact what is needed in order to be aligned to the needs of the market. We are imagining a radically different organization designed to output today what wasn’t even imagined yesterday.
We are entering a highly flexible world demanding highly flexible organizations.
The organizations are not linear, they are not based on hierarchies or chains of command and centralized decision making.
In this new world we have decentralized teams making autonomous decisions. Smaller companies (because there is no advantage of scale) with local niches and the ability to turn around swiftly as demand patterns are manipulated by new impulses."
"We’re hardwired to comprehend physical things, Duarte says, and software all too often behaves in ways that break with our models and expectations. Wiley thinks of it as breaking the suspension of disbelief, as when something happens in a sci-fi movie that doesn’t follow its own internal logic. Duarte is a little more direct, with a subtle dig at Apple’s iOS and its flying software layers: "We’re not hurtling you through space at high speeds," he says. "We’re not puncturing your hand with invisible, impossible surfaces."
"Design is all about finding solutions within constraints," Duarte says, "If there were no constraints, it’s not design — it’s art."
Google’s designers steadfastly refuse to name the new fictional material, a decision that simultaneously gives them more flexibility and adds a level of metaphysical mysticism to the substance. That’s also important because while this material follows some physical rules, it doesn’t fall into the old trap of skeuomorphism. The material isn’t a one-to-one imitation of physical paper, but instead it’s "magical," as Duarte puts it.
It can do things that physical paper can’t, like grow and shrink with animations. Those animations were important to Google, because they help users understand where they are inside an app. "A lot of software … kind of feels like television or film in terms of jump cuts," Wiley says, causing you to lose your sense of time and place. For apps, you want something more akin to a stage play. "It’s going from one moment to the next," he says, "that scene change, and what’s happening onstage is choreographed and transitioned, and there’s meaning.""
"Good art disrupts the social order. It wakes you up, shocks you, makes you feel alive—it makes you see the world again, differently. Bad art is boring, predictable, prescribed, a weak illustration of what you’ve already been thinking."
"Ten years ago, "school reform" at least equally applied to Deborah Meier and Ted Sizer as it did to, say, Joel Klein.
In the intervening decade, I've become a social software curmudgeon -- you'll pull Blogger from my cold, dead hands -- and yielded the "ed reformer" tag to people and practices I hate.
Basically, in both cases, the money men started to roll in and roll over the geeks and the teachers who were building tools and schools with an eye to something other than the market, or market-based logic. We're only just now hitting the point where it is clear the grifters are rolling into schools like Visigoths, but even when the point hasn't been to make money directly, it has been to apply the methods of business to education.
It has taken a while to sort out, but at this point many of the leading figures in screwing up the internet are also leaders in screwing up education (reform): Gates, Zuckerberg, Jobs (RIP), etc. It isn't hard to tease out the common thread. The earnest geeks who do things, understand how things work, and care about actual people get rolled by the big money guys. That's it." | 2019-04-18T21:13:53 | http://m.pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/t:predictability/ |
Beyoncé has been unveiled as the new face of H&M's summer campaign. The global superstar will be wearing pieces from the H&M summer collection inspired by her style.
"I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements -- fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial"
Beyoncé has worked with the in-house design team at H&M to create the perfect pieces for the heat of summer. Included in the collection are also garments – among them a tie-dye bikini and 25 per cent of sales of which will be donated to H&M for Water. H&M’s initiative with WaterAid which so far has raised £2,650,000 since 2002.
Photographers by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin,the campaign images were shot in Nassau, Bahamas, while the commercial was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and is shot like a music video. It will be available to view online in its entirety, with edited versions for TV. | 2019-04-26T04:08:54 | http://vernalmagazine.blogspot.com/2013/03/beyonce-for-h-m.html |

Have You Found Your Miracle?
The Kurdish cause has made us into what and who we now are, as most Kurds seem to have become deep nationalists because of the sufferings they have been through, and the loss of lives they have had to grieve.
The tragedy that is the Kurdish dream has set a blaze in the hearts of Kurds everywhere. While the Kurds in Rojava (Western-Kurdistan) are now fighting to protect what is their homeland, other parts of Greater Kurdistan have endured this battle for decades. Bakur (Northern-Kurdistan) is currently in what is known to be “peace talks” with the Turkish government, in order to find an understanding and to set a way forward for both sides.
Kurds in Bashur (Southern-Kurdistan) are still working to strengthen their position in Kurdistan, as well as the Middle East, despite the fall of Saddam and his Baath party happened over a decade ago. Advocates in Rojhelat (Eastern-Kurdistan) organize activism on a frequent basis now days, and brave activists are willing to stand for their beliefs no matter how young they are. Although such activities are increasing, there are almost no political agenda within Rojhelat’s region. The Iranian government has been chasing, executing and kidnapping anyone they see fit for decades. Thus, there is no room to breathe, and never a moment to strategize and unite the parties.
1. Devotion to the interests or culture of one’s nation.
collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.
Lets return to Bashur for a moment, to see if the Kurds there have been able to nourish the land on their own with the achieved autonomy. Since Saddam’s fall in 2003, the Kurdish Regional Government, Herêmî Kurdistan in Kurdish, has flourished immensely. The booming economy has attracted businesses from all around the globe, and the KRG had the world’s fastest growing economy in 2013.
The region has become a safe haven while in the care of the Kurdish security forces, within the otherwise news portrayed bloody Iraq. Presently, the region is one of the most stabilized areas in the Middle East, as there have been minimal terrorist attacks after the KRG were installed as the head of government.
KRG’s politics have been positive to the contemporary developments in Southern Kurdistan, and as a result human rights have improved, and the average life expectancy has increased. Women’s rights have also seen a slight improvement, and it will hopefully continue even more in the coming time. Herêmî Kurdistan has shown that it is able to function and restructure itself without resorting to any type of violence towards other nations. Bashuri Kurds have shown the world how they are able to live peacefully with oppressors from the “past” while still creating a safe and healthy environment for anyone that is willing to live by their side in a peaceful manner.
On the western frontier of Rojava, a similar situation and “safe heaven” have been created. While the rest of Syria has turned into an unfortunate chaos as hundreds of thousands of innocent people have been murdered, raped and forcibly displaced, the Kurdish political and army identity have been successful in securing the Kurdish cities and villages in an attempt to stabilize the region. YPG armed forces have driven out terrorists from this area, and by doing so they are not only protecting Kurdish citizens, but also everyone who is in need of protection. The political leaders in Rojava are forming a unity within the political parties to form a united front and establish an autonomous Western Kurdistan within the borders of Syria. The Kurdish people, that previously did not have any human or civil rights in Assad’s Syria, are now able to rebuild the land they rightfully own. Furthermore, they can to a certain extent enjoy a newfound safety provided by the Kurdish fighters, which neither the Syrian army nor the FSA could provide for them.
2. Something that is passed down from preceding generations.
3. The status acquired by a person through birth; a birthright.
Although some see Bakur’s new “peace process” as propaganda, the cooperation is first of all a statement that Kurds are willing to solve the situation in a democratic manner, despite the undemocratic treatment of Kurdish politicians and activists in Turkey.
The PKK has called upon a ceasefire and halted their operations within Turkey. The Kurds in Bakur are fighting for their rights as one united front, and have held protests in a peaceful manner. The political parties have agreed to not seek to divide the country from the Turkish border, but to rather achieve a similar autonomy as Bashur.
Seeing Bashur’s progress, we are letting the world know that Kurds are the only ones that can rebuild the lands that belong to the Kurdish people. Kurds are ready to sacrifice, but more importantly, they are willing to help the ones in need. They have shown the world time and time again that while others have oppressed us, we will not seek vengeance, or be hateful towards those who martyred us.
We are ready to lead, rebuild and protect this region, just like we have done hundreds of years in the past. The future can only become brighter from here on out. | 2019-04-19T00:24:08 | https://medyamagazine.com/kurdistan-working-title/ |
Last winter we observed a white hawk, actually a leucistic red-tailed hawk, on Rutgers Busch campus. Mike spotted him again while driving to work about a week ago. We've both been on the lookout when driving in the area. Today since the weather was nice and we wanted to get outside, we did a drive by of the area and found him. We parked and were able to watch him from a distance for a while. We also wandered around the area after he flew away but didn't get any pictures of the few birds we found.
I saw him last year and saw him again today while out walking my dog near Johnson Park. I get so excited every time I see him!
I saw him a few times in the past week on Busch campus. I typed into "White Hawk New Jersey" into Google, and I was shocked when the exact bird came up! I got a glimpse of a white hawk last year, but I pasted it off as a trick of the eyes. This is a very cool bird.
I saw an immature white hawk yesterday in Wayne NJ I was glad to find this site as this type of hawk is really SA. I knew from photos that he/she was a young hawk it caught my eye flying to land on a branch no more than 10 ft. off the ground. It perched on the branch for at least five minutes it was so up close it saw me it was like seeing it in a zoo. It was my Dad's Birthday 12/21/13 he has been gone a long time, I still miss him so much, we were very close and I think he may have sent him to say Hi I am still with you.
Last week a very healthy looking white hawk lifted off the ground from the snow in front of my car as I was driving about 10 miles per hour in a cemetery here in Hackettstown, NJ. It was absolutely magestic.
Spotted today just off Busch campus crossing over route 18! I almost crashed my car. I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing!
Wonderful to hear the hawk is still making an appearance! Glad you didn't crash your car. I remember the first time I saw it I had a similar reaction, "couldn't believe my eyes." Thanks for posting.
Seen the white hawk on way to work about 2 months on the new engineering building on Busch Campus flew across 18 right before campus drive etc .
Just saw this gorgeous hawk today (my spirit animal). It was pretty epic! | 2019-04-26T14:19:31 | http://www.new-jersey-birds.com/2010/10/return-of-white-hawk.html?showComment=1530798772024 |
January 23, 2008 – Now Read This!
Not all comics are nice. Not all stories are cosy and comforting. This slim volume collecting some short strips by Danish cartoonist Søren Mosdal, are powerful, surreal to the point of absurdism, starkly, bleakly, casually violent yet unbelievably compelling vignettes of modern disassociation and spiritual isolation in an urban landscape of staggering indifference.
Mosdal’s intense, exaggerated drawing bristles with ill-suppressed animosity as he tells of getting drunk, getting stoned, getting laid and ultimately getting nowhere. Whether relating what I pray are not autobiographical everyday interludes or depicting the distressing adventures of Hans Drone (“The Greatest Writer of our Time!”), or any of the other misfits gathered here, Mosdal’s fevered works are unsettling but unforgivably intoxicating. If you’re old enough and strong enough, these beautiful, ugly stories are ready for you and absolutely worthy of your attention.

As much as I’d love to claim that Marvel’s fortunes are solely built on the works of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, I’m just not able to. Whereas I do know that without them the modern monolith would not exist, it is also necessary to acknowledge the vital role played by the second generation creators of the early 1970s. Marvel’s welcome of fresh, new, often untried talent paid huge dividends in creativity -and most importantly at a time of industry contraction – new sales.
One of the most successful of these newcomers was Jim Starlin. As well as the groundbreaking Master of Kung Fu, which he worked on with his equally gifted confederates Steve Englehart and Al Milgrom, his earliest success was the epic of cosmic adventure collected here.
Captain Marvel was an alien on Earth, a defector from the militaristic Kree who fought for Earth and was atomically bonded to professional sidekick Rick Jones by a pair of wristbands that enabled them to share the same space in our universe. When one was here the other was trapped in the antimatter dimensiom known as the Negative Zone.
After meandering around the Marvel Universe for a while, continually one step ahead of cancellation (the series had folded many times, but always quickly returned – presumably to secure the all important Trademark name), the Captain was handed to Starlin — and the young artist was left alone to get on with it. With many of his friends he began laying seeds (particularly in Iron Man and Daredevil) for a saga that would in many ways become as well regarded as the Kirby Fourth World Trilogy that it emulated. But the Thanos War, despite many superficial similarities would soon develop into a uniquely modern experience. And what it lacked in grandeur it made up for with sheer energy and enthusiasm.
This regrettably incomplete collection begins with Iron Man #55, and is scripted by Mike Friedrich. ‘Beware The … Blood Brothers!’ introduces Drax the Destroyer, an incredibly powerful alien. Trapped by Thanos under the desert, he is rescued by the Armoured Avenger, but it’s merely a prelude to the main story which appeared in Captain Marvel #25-33, (with an interlude starring Iron Man and The Fantastic Four’s Thing from Marvel Feature #12). Thanos is obsessed with conquest and targets Rick Jones whose subconscious hides the location of an ultimate, irresistible weapon.
With a coterie of old super-villains and a rogue fleet of starships he misdirects Earth’s defenders whilst he turns himself into a god, and only Captain Marvel – with the aid of an Eight billion year old cosmic entity has any chance to defeat him. (Completists should note that the Avengers’ battle against that fleet of aliens isn’t reprinted here, which is a pity as it’s a pretty good action issue, but the Thing joined Iron Man’s second desert battle with the Blood Brothers and that is included).
This is a key event in Marvel history, innovative and still deeply thrilling on an instinctual level. The co-creators of this opus all continued or went on to great things in the industry. As well as the previously cited Englehart, Milgrom and Friedrich, Mike Esposito, Chic Stone, Dave Cockrum, Pablo Marcos, Dan Green, Joe Sinnott, Klaus Janson and Jack Abel all lent their talents to this groundbreaking story. If you are at all interested in superhero comics, you should brave the less than polished artwork and somewhat dated dialogue for a magnificent rollercoaster thrill-ride.
The book concludes rather weakly with Starlin’s last regular Captain Marvel adventure, taken from issue #34 of the comic book. In the first part of a much longer sequence the Protector of the Universe temporarily defeats Nitro, the Exploding Man, only to succumb to the world’s deadliest nerve gas. From this exposure the hero would eventually contract the cancer that killed him, as depicted in Marvel’s first Graphic Novel, The Death of Captain Marvel. (I’ll be reviewing that particular oversized tome in the days ahead, but I should make you aware that a single book combining it and the collection reviewed above was released as The Life and Death of Captain Marvel – ISBN13: 978-0-7851-0837-5 in 2002 and might still be available if you want all your cosmic eggs in one basket).

Rain, winds, floods, mud and debris ushered in the New Year. While the weather has mostly cleared there is still a lot of clean-up being done. Roads especially take a beating in this sort of weather. from potholes, mudslides and flood damaged bridges we find that the normal path of life can be disrupted. Sometimes this is for a brief period. it may be just an ongoing aggravation as we detour around a slide, a pothole or wash out. Some roads may face extended closures. The picture in this blog is the First Street Bridge over the Russian River just below flood peak. Our neighbors to the south in Geyserville are facing an unknown time of closure of the Hwy. 128 Bridge over the river. It was significantly damaged during the flood.
Having worked “flood duty” for many years (American Red Cross, Twin Hills-Gold Ridge Fire District, Calif. Dept. of Forestry & Fire Protection) I was especially constrained to pray for both victims and responders during these challenges. Floods bring many hazards and challenges but one in particular is that they tend to impact those involved for extended periods of time. A fire or accident can be a tragedy that can change lives profoundly. However they tend to be of fairly short duration. The recovery or rebuilding may be extended but the actual crises is usually short, yet painful.
Floods are usually more prolonged in there assault on our lives. They are usually preceded by a stormy siege (in an of itself problem laden). Some floods are gradual with time to prepare and respond. Flash floods can occur very quickly with horrendous results. Here in Northern California we face both. The actual flood can occur for hours, days or even weeks. Then comes the clean-up and rebuilding. That can take years. All this brings about the reality of flood-fatigue. This is the condition that sets in when victims or responders run out of adrenalin and the harsh muck and stench of the damage is recognized.
Storms, floods and the damage and decay they bring are sometimes the seeming condition of life on a broader scale. In personal struggles, family or work challenges we can often face sieges of harsh weather. Then come the actual floods of life. Sickness, financial troubles, relationship losses all can overwhelm and inundate the individual or family. While we may face the early tides of trouble in our own strength,soon we all can face the exhaustion of flood-fatigue.
The pictures at the top of this blog are of our flooding river. While the river was flooding, just to the northeast of the bridge the rainbow appeared. Once again I was reminded that it is in the storms and floods of life that we discover the promises, the strength and provision of Christ. It is in our need, fatigue and weakness that we experience the epiphanies of Emmanuel, God with us. | 2019-04-21T09:01:03 | https://redwoodjournal.net/2006/01/12/273/ |
Who keeps killing animals in London, Ontario?
The sleepy hamlets that speckle the surrounding area of London, Ontario, have a deep and at times sinister history.
From the infamous ‘Black Donnellys’ of Lucan, Ontario — whose gruesome death in 1880 has been deeply entrenched in the folklore of the many nearby farming communities — to more recent and sensationalized killers of the 1970’s like the ‘Mad Slasher’ and the ‘Bedroom Strangler’, the region has been no stranger to violent crime.
Cold-case research led former cop and criminologist Michael Arntfield to write a book about how London was once the serial killer capital of the world.
Today, he believes he’s witnessing all the signs of an escalating — and sexually sadistic — serial killer in the making.
Since 2015, as many as 25 animals in as many as eight separate instances have been found mutilated and killed in and around London. Multiple coyotes. Exotic snakes. A house cat, a bunny, eventually even a small dog. Some remains were left in plain sight; others hidden from view. There were startling similarities among some casualties. More than once, the species in question wasn’t readily apparent: the two dogs found beheaded and skinned behind a grocery store on Trafalgar Street in February, 2016, turned out not to be dogs after all, but coyotes.
“At that point, I never thought it would be repeated,” Judy Foster, Executive Director of the London Humane Society, told VICE News.
The ten snakes found in front of a house that September had their heads crushed. The cat was gutted, its intestines neatly and intentionally arranged in Springbank Park. The bunny was skinned. The small dog was decapitated.
Beyond the gruesome details, little else is known publicly about the deaths. The London Police Service has provided no information to the public regarding the discoveries and has not put out any formal request for information.

And so far, nothing has definitely linked the cases. In fact, many of them have been brushed off as isolated incidents. But Arntfield, who has helped draw attention to the situation through media interviews, sees a pattern of escalation — the victims have gone from being wild animals that could be trapped or hunted to domestic pets, and they were discovered in increasingly more well traveled areas.
He’s operating under the assumption that most, if not all, of the killings were committed by one person — something no one else has publicly speculated.
Arntfield, a former cop and professor of criminology at the University of Western Ontario, talks extensively in his classes about the early warning signs of sexual sadists, who gain pleasure from killing people. And he thinks that is what is happening here. “We’re dealing with someone who’s doing this for a sexual purpose,” he said.
His book, entitled Murder City and released in 2015, talks about the psychological, geographical and circumstantial factors that collided to create a perfect storm in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, during which London saw as many as six serial killers operating at one time, more per capita than anywhere else in the world.
Not long after the snakes were discovered in front of a suburban home, as Arntfield explains, in the exact same locations, coaxial cables were discovered molded and arranged in a disturbingly similar fashion to the snakes in the original scene.
Arntfield received a photo taken on Oct. 16, 2016 of as many as six birds lying in a seemingly intentional arrangement, all reportedly with their necks snapped and their beaks crushed. They were found at Rogers Avenue near Wilson St., a location relatively close to the university and where those original coyotes were found.
Greg Thorn, an associate professor of biology and geological sciences at Western, was alerted by a student to one set of coyotes found on campus in March of 2015. He went to check out the scene for himself and found, behind Western’s Staging Building, near a residence hall, two dead coyotes laid beside each other about 20 feet from a walking trail.
Thorn says he was in disbelief. “What was really surprising was that they were carried there dead,” he said.
None of these instances have resulted in an official determination of cause of death.
“That’s one of the troubling things about this story, actually, is that in all of these cases, we don’t know when the animal actually lost it’s life,” said Foster.
A spokesperson for the London Police Service told VICE News that they were initially only made aware of two cases — the coyotes found behind a grocery store in February of 2016 and the beheaded dog discovered in December.
The Humane Society, Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources and the Western University Campus Police were also notified and investigated cases within their jurisdictions — the coyotes found north of the city and on campus — but declined to comment on cases they were involved in and referred to the ongoing investigation by the London Police.
While it remains unclear as to exactly where these animals came from, there is one case that has been resolved: that of a mutilated goose that was dropped off at the front door of the London Humane Society. It was later determined that this bird had been dropped off by a samaritan after hitting it with their vehicle.
Still, Arntfield is convinced that the remainder of the instances portray some sinister behaviour.
“The position of the animals and the nature of the mutilations are becoming more extreme, and they’re being left in more populated areas,” said Arntfield.
The knowledge of the shock of a discovery like that is part of what drives this person, says Arntfield.
In 2015, three disturbing and eerily similar discoveries were made both along the Medway River on the campus of the University of Western Ontario, in Parkhill, and near a walking trial in Ailsa Craig — both suburbs northwest of London. In each location, two coyotes were left mutilated, some beheaded and all gruesomely displayed. In February 2016, police were called after what was thought to be two dogs were discovered beheaded, skinned, and left behind a Metro grocery store on Clarke Rd. near Trafalgar St. It was later determined that they were not dogs, but coyotes.
In September of 2016, London resident Kate Fowler discovered more than 10 snakes at the curb in front of her home and posted them on Facebook. Believed to be exotic breeds and therefore pets, the snakes were left dead, and according to Arntfield, posed and with their heads crushed. On July 24, 2016, a mutilated house cat was found in Springbank Park. Believed to have been tortured to death, the cat was found along a walkway, in a highly visible location, gutted and with its intestines neatly and intentionally arranged nearby. Sometime later, in August, a bunny – skinned and beheaded – was discovered along a walking trail on, once again, Western campus. The last known incident, on Dec. 16, occurred when someone found a skinned and beheaded ‘animal’ (as reported at the time) behind the Beer Store, on top of a dumpster, at Adelaide Street and Lorne Avenue. It was later determined that the animal was a small breed dog. Some of its organs had been removed. | 2019-04-26T10:28:48 | https://news.vice.com/en_ca/article/43498m/who-keeps-killing-animals-in-london-ontario |
Where do you buy a "Keep Fire In Your Life" shirt?
I am sorry if their was a previous post asking for these, but I could not found any about this. I am looking for a link or where to find the "Keep fire in your life" t shirts. I know it has something to do with Urban Firefighter Magazine; but are not on their website for sale. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
From what I have understood, if you aren't one of the UFF instructors, you can't get one.

“For far too long, progressive politicians have backed interventions in the housing marketplace — such as restrictive zoning rules or rent control initiatives like Proposition 10 … that do nothing but limit the supply of affordable housing and drive up prices for the poor and middle-income residents of our state,” said Hoover Institute Fellow Lanhee Chen, policy director for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.
“(Proposition 10) will result in a housing freeze, already developers are waiting to see if it will pass before investing in new projects. Smaller landlords will likely leave the rental business completely,” agreed Adama Iwu, lobbyist and co-founder of We Said Enough.
Former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell, a Republican who represented parts of Silicon Valley and now is a professor of Law and Economics at Chapman University, acknowledged the potential impact on low-income renters. He proposed a potential solution.
Other Influencers acknowledged benefits of rent control, but still expressed reservations about its pitfalls.
“The judicious use and expansion of rent control can and will hold rents down, but unfortunately it will also reduce the number of new rental units built as investors fear they will not be able to gain from their dollars,” said California Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman.
But Manuel Pastor, Director of USC’s Program for Environmental and Regional Equity, pointed to potential economic advantages of rent control.
Michele Siquieros, president of the Campaign for College Opportunity, attempted to reconcile the two perspectives, advocating for rent control but pointing out it is only one aspect of an comprehensive affordable housing strategy.
“The reality is that California needs both limits on rent increases that allow low-income and middle-income families the ability to stay housed AND we need major investments in building (denser) housing to address challenges by both public and private investors,” she said.
The attorney for the adult children who were tortured and abused by their California parents for years says they're trying to live their lives as normally as possible and each is grappling with how much they're willing to forgive. | 2019-04-19T21:11:20 | https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/state/california/article218407735.html |
US noninvasion troops deployed abroad often try to promote greater respect for human rights in the host country. The host country, having an incentive to retain the troop presence, may choose to comply with these requests. We argue that this effect will not be at play in states with high security salience for the United States (US) (for which the US may not be able to credibly threaten to remove the troops). In these cases, US deployments will provide the leader with security from both internal and external threats that is independent of the local population’s support for the leader. Host state leaders thus become less reliant on (and potentially less responsive to) their local populations, which in turn may lead to increased human rights violations. In this article, we use data on both US troop deployments abroad and on human rights violations to test these arguments from 1982 to 2005.
This research note examines how domestic institutions can moderate the relationship between domestic and interstate conflict involvement. Previous work has found that military dictatorships are more likely to become involved in either domestic or international conflicts, compared to party-based autocracies. We argue that the same institutional explanations for why military autocracies are more conflict-prone also make them less capable of successfully carrying out multiple conflicts at the same time. Analyzing interstate and domestic conflict involvement on a sample of dictatorships over the period 1947–2004, we show that military autocracies dealing with internal armed conflict are less likely than their nonmilitary counterparts to become involved in an international conflict.
With a lower risk of casualties and a high degree of precision, air power is an attractive foreign policy tool to powerful states that have increasingly relied upon it in recent years. This paper presents newly collected data on uses and effectiveness of air power in interstate wars from 1914 to 2003. The dataset provides more complete and comparable cases that can be useful in answering questions of not only the coercive effectiveness of air power, but also of the decision to use air power in conflict, of ethical concerns arising from the use of air power, and of the interaction of air power with other military and foreign policy tools. In addition to introducing the dataset and discussing trends in the data, a preliminary empirical application is provided, re-examining the relationship between strategy and air power effectiveness.
This article studies whether the pursuit of counterterrorism militarizes foreign aid flows. It focuses on the case of US foreign aid to sub-Saharan African states, which recently have experienced an increase in the presence of al-Qaeda or its affiliate terrorist organizations. This article argues that as terrorist groups carry out attacks inside a state’s territory, aid towards that state will serve such counterterrorism goals. For one, the state’s executive branch will receive increased military aid to immediately fight al-Qaeda or affiliates. For the other, the United States also steps up aid for civil society and development, which could over time undermine al-Qaeda’s mobilization and recruitment efforts. In an empirical analysis that covers 46 African states from 1996 to 2011, our results largely corroborate the hypothesized patterns for attacks that occur on a country territory and in the neighborhood. We note, though, that the overall composition of aid shifts relative to the military when there are direct attacks, something that does not occur when attacks happen in the neighborhood only. Our article concludes that concerns about militarization of aid are warranted, but that actual manifestations are nuanced.
Diversionary war theory states that leaders may initiate an international conflict in order to invoke internal cohesion and distract the public from domestic issues. Recent developments in diversionary literature suggest the possibility that leaders can alternately divert against domestic targets, such as minority groups. Empirical support for domestic diversion, though, has been mixed. In this paper we seek to reconcile this by further examining the different dynamics at play between actors who are faced with diversionary incentives. We suggest that a major reason why we do not observe many cases of domestic diversion is strategic behavior by minority groups. Much like states do, minority groups that are potential targets of repression engage in strategic conflict avoidance when they observe diversionary incentives to be present. We test our theory through a multivariate probit model that uses the state–minority group dyad as the unit of analysis.
This article explores the role that ground troops play in aerial campaigns. Specifically, it intends to explain how ground troops affect the duration of aerial bombing campaigns. It distinguishes between the effect of ground troops on the duration of aerial campaigns that are selective and on those that are more general and less discriminate (using newly coded data on aerial strategies). The effect of ground troops may vary depending on how air power is being used. Ground troops may increase the duration of aerial campaigns in cases in which selective strategies are used during the aerial bombing campaign. In these cases, states lose the possibility of quick, “clean” victories once ground troops are introduced. In the cases of the less-discriminate bombing campaigns, the effect of ground troops is the opposite: They shorten the duration of the bombing campaign, possibly through the increased effectiveness of a combined arms approach.
This article attempts to answer the question of why major powers engage in more active foreign policy behaviors than minor powers. It does so by comparing two explanations for the increased conflict propensity of major powers. The first explanation focuses on major powers’ observable capabilities, while the second stresses their different behavior. We incorporate both into an ultimatum model of conflict in which a state’s cost of conflict consists of both observable and behavioral components. Using data from the period from 1870 to 2001, we empirically illustrate the observable and behavioral differences between major and minor powers. We then utilize a decomposition model to assess the relative significance of the two explanations. The results suggest that most of the difference in conflict propensity between major and minor powers can be attributed to observable differences.
Major powers often deploy troops abroad with the consent of host states. The stated aim of these deployments is often both to protect the host state and to foster stability in the region. Drawing from an extension of Palmer and Morgan’s two-good theory of foreign policy, the authors explore some of the (perhaps unintended) effects of troop deployments abroad on the foreign policies of the host states. In particular, the authors focus on the effects of US deployments. The authors argue that as the number of US troops deployed to a host state increases, we should expect the host state to reduce its own troop levels, be more likely to initiate militarized interstate disputes, and be less likely to be the target of interstate disputes. The authors test these hypotheses using data on US troop deployments abroad from 1950 to 2005 and discuss implications that their findings may have for US foreign policy.
Global terrorism and local rebellion are observed rather frequently; solutions appear to be rather sparse. A common strategy adopted by governments is to attempt to deter potential rebels from engaging in acts of violence, often by responding to attacks with violent reprisals directed at the populace from which the rebels are recruited. The logic supporting such a strategy follows from a theory of deterrence that we believe is underdeveloped. This theory focuses heavily on the credibility of the deterrent threat and on ensuring that the cost imposed by retaliation is high. This ignores the flip side of the deterrent threat—that is, the promise that if one does not misbehave (by engaging in acts of rebellion), one will not suffer retaliatory punishment. Policy designed to ensure that punishment is swift and severe (and perhaps disproportional) can undermine deterrence and actually encourage more potential rebels to become active. Using a game-theoretic model, we show that successful deterrence requires a strategy in which retaliation is proportionate and directed only at the guilty, as well as being certain. Moreover, potential rebels must believe that the innocent will have attractive opportunities outside of joining the insurgency as well as that the innocent will not be punished. We provide empirical illustrations of our thesis from participants in the Palestinian uprising, including several who have taken up arms against Israel. | 2019-04-20T08:12:06 | https://womenalsoknowstuff.com/profile/carla-martinez%20machain |

The Celtics were loose [url=http://www.jetscheapstore.com/customized-cheap]Cheap Customized New York Jets Jerseys[/url] , smiling and laughing. They weren’t straining to hear each other speak and there were no obnoxious Cleveland fans heckling them.
Brown scored just 10 points – 13 below his average after two games in the series – and was in almost immediate foul trouble as the Cavs dominated while pulling within 2-1 in the series.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens may change his lineup for Monday’s Game 4, perhaps returning to center Aron Baynes and bringing Marcus Morris off the bench. Stevens has to do something to free up Al Horford [url=http://www.giantsfootballauthentic.com/patrick-omameh-jersey-authentic]Youth Patrick Omameh Jersey[/url] , who has been held in check by Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson the past two games.
By starting Baynes, Stevens could force Cavs coach Tyronn Lue to make a counter move and either put Kevin Love – or even James – on Horford.
Boston had one of the league’s best road records during the regular season, going 28-13 – only Houston and Golden State were better. But with several young players, including 20-year-old Jayson Tatum [url=http://www.jetscheapstore.com/thomas-rawls-jersey-cheap]Thomas Rawls Jersey Jets[/url] , the Celtics are learning that playing in front of hostile playoff crowds can be daunting.
”It’s very different,” said Horford, who took only four shots in Game 3. ”I think that at home, you have your home crowd behind you. You have a comfort level about you. And on the road, literally it’s just you against everybody else. It takes a while for you to get used to and understand how well you have to play on the road. You have to be able to do all the little things in order to have a chance.
The Cavs seized control from the opening tip in Game 3, bursting to a 20-4 lead and then clamping down defensively on the Celtics [url=http://www.patriotscheapstore.com/jason-mccourty-jersey-cheap]Jason McCourty Jersey Patriots[/url] , who didn’t get the open looks they enjoyed in Games 1 and 2.
And for a change, James had plenty of offensive help as Cleveland had six players in double figures. Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson had major contributions [url=http://www.raidersfootballauthentics.com/brandon-parker-jersey-authentic]Youth Brandon Parker Jersey[/url] , giving the Cavs a taste of what could lie ahead. | 2019-04-24T14:09:26 | http://www.alles-ueber-kryptowaehrung-und-blockchain.de/t623f53-Cleveland-does-bu.html |

If you’re still wondering about any of these bits then maybe it’s worth going back and looking at the Getting Started Module. If you’re happy with this then let’s walk through the steps you’ll need to follow to build your first automated test in TestComplete.
Create your Project suite, by clicking on the ‘New Project Suite’ button (1) and then enter the name for this suite. Once that’s created click on the ‘New Project’ button (2). It’s a bit back to front but you’ll be creating more Projects than Project Suites so it’s kind of makes sense to have the ‘New Project’ button on the left.
* – we wont get into scripting in this course but we might touch on the odd little bit of code so we may as well select Python at this stage.
Then click ‘Finish’ and we’ll have our first Project which is contained with our first Project Suite.
Before we go any further we’ll need an application to test. To make our lives easy we’re going to use an application called Calc Plus from Microsoft.
Microsoft don’t actually provide this as a download’able application anymore but you will find it on sites like ‘download.cnet.com’.
We’re using Calc Plus because it exposes a lot of it’s object information to TestComplete. We’re not using the default calcualtor supplied with Windows because this one doesn’t expose everything we need. Calc Plus just makes our life easier as we start out learning TestComplete.
Next we’ll create our first test. Our first test will be a mixture of adding test steps manually and recording parts of the test too.
To start off then we’ll manually add a few test steps before we record some test steps.
Then right click on the ‘StartCalc’ test in project explorer and select run start calc. This’ll just make sure we have Calc Plus running so that we can complete the next step.
You should see the recording tool bar open as TestComplete records your actions. And then record a few actions in Calc Plus (e.g. click the keys 2 * 2). Do NOT close the Calc Plus application at this point.
Then click stop on the recording tool bar.
At this point we’ve created all the component tests we need to run a full test scenario. All we need to do is link these together and run them. We do this at the project level by adding multiple project test items that call these tests in sequence.
And that’s it. Our first automated test. Created using a combination of building keyword tests manually (using drag and drop) and by recording tests. We’ve built the project in a modular fashion with three test cases pulled into the project list for execution. This way we can reuse these tests in other scenarios as we build out our test cases. | 2019-04-26T08:00:59 | http://www.testmanagement.com/blog/2017/09/module-2-testcomplete-creating-our-first-test |

The National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) on Tuesday cautioned young people to avoid risky behavior, while celebrating Valentine’s Day to avoid health problems and unintentional injuries.
Dr Miriam Ezekwe, Project Coordinator, National Comprehensive AIDS Programme in States, NACA gave the advice in an interview with newsmen in Abuja.
She identified risky behaviour such as alcohol and drug use as contributory factors to health issues. According to her, NACA’s mandate is to coordinate and sustain advocacy by all sectors and at all levels on HIV and AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Ezekwe said: “you know risky behaviour is associated with alcohol, drug use and all that. “So, we are arming young people with the right information on how to prevent risky behaviour, knowledge is power. “Young people must avoid risky behaviour and use the 10-10-10 rule; when you want to make a decision, the first 10 seconds, how will you feel about it in 10 seconds. “How will you feel about that decision in 10 days’ time and how will you feel about that decision in 10 years’ time. “If you can just spend a little time and review any action you want to take by using the 10-10-10 rule, I’m sure we are going to avoid a lot of risky behaviour tomorrow. ” She revealed plans by NACA to create awareness on radio and TV on risky behavior in order to reduce the dangers associated with it. Newsmen report that Valentine’s Day, which is named after a Christian martyr in the 5th century is celebrated globally on Feb. 14, every year. | 2019-04-24T17:00:45 | http://www.9jabestloaded.com.ng/2018/02/valentines-day-naca-advises-young.html |
Home gyms are ideal for those who love to exercise, yet find getting to the gym on a regular basis to be difficult. Best of all, home exercise equipment is not nearly as expensive as many people make it out to be, which typically means that even those who are on a tight budget will be able to outfit their home with at least somewhat of a basic gym.
What's more convenient than having a gym setup in the comfort of your very home? Home gyms have been more and more popular these days since they're pretty much a practical investment for a lot of fitness enthusiast and bodybuilders. Probably the best thing about having one, is that they provide their owners the luxury of working out anytime they feel like it or wanted to. Another great thing about having one, is that they encourage you to have no more ""The fitness center is full"" and ""I need to go home early"" excuses. They'll be waiting for you at home so you can train right after you settled everything you need to get done first. Afterwards, you can then just take a cold shower and hit the sack right after your exhausting and rigorous workout.
A home gym is very much easy to set up. You can purchase the equipment piece-by-piece. For example, you can get a pair of dumbbells first and a set of weight plates. Afterwards, you can proceed by purchasing a barbell and bench and then get some of the other gym essentials such as the gym flooring tiles, kettlebells and cardio equipment to get the full gym experience. However, a lot people don't really have the luxury of having much free space at home to set up their home gyms on. That is why most of the time people look into buying compact all-in-one equipment.
Here, at Gym and Fitness, we offer the products from top brands at the best possible pricing. We have home gyms manufactured by Body Solid, Healthstream and Titan. All three brands are well-known for their product's unmatched quality and for the unparalleled value each of them bring to their end-users.

At Half Acres Academy, we recognise that children are living within an increasingly technological world and aim to develop confidence and knowledge in this area. Computing skills are taught specifically during computing lessons. Skills are practised in sessions and then applied across the curriculum to enhance other subjects. Alongside computing skills we regularly revisit internet safety and the importance of why we need to keep ourselves safe on the internet. As children leave primary school, we aim for children to transfer this knowledge and have the confidence to implement these skills in everyday situations.
Children are usually taught computing within afternoon learning and every class has a timetabled opportunity to use the laptops and ipads. We encourage staff to incorporate technology throughout the wider curriculum and use these skills to research and present writing in a variety of ways. Each class has access to SMART boards and teaching is delivered using this technology. Skills are covered through a two year rolling programme to ensure that children are taught the appropriate skills to support their development.
In Key Stage 1, children are beginning to develop their computing skills through using a range of technology such as Bee Bots, laptops and ipads. To encourage children to recognise the value of using technology we teach skills through termly topic links. Children develop their skills to navigate around a computer and use a range of Microsoft programmes to copy and paste images and insert text boxes. The use of the internet to search images is incorporated alongside internet safety to reinforce the importance.
Staff frequently monitor the attainment of children using the National Curriculum statements and use this to inform their teaching. Leaders support staff in delivering the curriculum through PDMs and termly discussions. Leaders gather knowledge of how the curriculum is being taught through work scrutinies, lesson observations and pupil interviews where children can articulate and demonstrate the skills they have been taught.
A recent introduction of the on-line application Seesaw, especially in Key Stage 2, allows children and teachers to collaboratively store, view and reflect on a range of work including videos, audio and annotated explanations. | 2019-04-22T06:13:48 | https://halfacres.com/computing |

In this case obviously there isn’t enough from the sale to payoff or satisfy the first or second lien (bank) holders. So we would work along side the bank to try and negotiate a reduced amount or payoff in order to close the transaction. It is important to know that I try and keep your out of pocket expenses to a minimum or in most cases $0. When we submit a offer to your bank (along with any other required documents) we included fees such as-Back Payments & Penalties, Home Owners Insurance payments, Delinquent Taxes, Title Fees, Real Estate Commissions ect…as Bank Expenses! In some cases the bank will come back and counter our offer with the banks acceptable terms..at that point we can renegotiate until we hopefully come to mutual agreed upon terms.
It is important to know that every Short Sale is a different situation. Different hardships, loans, situations and bank requirements make the process very complicated. Please call me so we can talk and go over your options. If needed I will come over at no cost so we can discuss it in detail. | 2019-04-22T20:44:27 | http://keithparrett.com/short-sale-forclosure/ |
My son, Alex, used to have birthday sleep overs, and then for a few years he had birthday camping sleep overs in our garden which usually meant getting about four hours sleep as the little darlings went to bed at 2am and got up at 6am to play "hunt".
Enough was enough so for the last two years we have been going to Glencoe and just before the scabrous mountain that is Buachaille Etive Mor we head left down the single-track Glen Etive road for about half an hour until pulling over into a lay-by and rough camping about a quarter of a mile away from the road.
Getting to the camp isn't easy. The ground is rough and you have to traverse a stream. The boys had great fun playing "hunt" and "torchlight", or whatever they call it, and did some exploring. They found several dead deer in various stages of decomposition. I found one at a waterfall that looked like it was sleeping were it not for the angle of its neck. I played one game of hunt and won - no-one found me as I sat in the woods next to our camp in pitch darkness but while I sat there I kept seeing something in the trees. It was white and approached and receded and looked like a sheet flapping in the wind. I kept switching on my torch to see what it was and saw only trees, but it was back as soon as I switched the torch off.
Last year we camped in the exact same spot and brought my daughter and her friend along, and the dog. While gathering wood for the fire we entered the trees and found a large metal pot, about four feet in diameter. We tried to lift it, but it was really heavy. I couldn't lift it on my own. I couldn't even move it. Four of us managed to get it a few inches off the ground. Above the pot, hanging from the branches were bits of ropes and various blades and things that looked like saws. I still can't imagine who would struggle to carry such a heavy object a quarter of a mile from the main road over uneven ground and across a stream to put it in the woods, and why they would do that.
In twelve hours time, we'll be back there. | 2019-04-22T05:03:27 | http://ian-hunter.co.uk/blog/comments/124 |

Theatre practitioner, writer, creative learning specialist and blogger Carl Woodward recently caught up with Tony Adigun of Avant Garde Dance to talk through his love of music, reinventing a classic tale and his inspirations. Below is a small excerpt from the interview – and Pavilion Dance even gets a cheeky mention!
“Fagin’s Twist examines one of Charles Dickens’ most famous notorious villains. How did it all come about?
I was looking for a classic tale to re-tell, and finally settled on the story of Oliver Twist. In thinking about the different characters in the book, with the team, I set about re-imagining some of them; discussing what led them to the point at which the story we all know starts, and creating backstories for those who didn’t have them. How did they get to that point? Oliver’s character seemed too simple, he was too nice and everything just fell into place for him. It seemed too easy for him. Fagin was the last one we looked at. I’m a believer in the underdog and I was really interested in his personality. I wanted to take his journey before he got to the point where he’s most recognisable and look at his past, at his childhood and see what parallels I could make between him and Oliver.

Supercharger Drive Pulleys are the pulleys that attach directly to the supercharger. The smaller the size, the quicker you will spin the supercharger causing you to see more boost and horsepower. If you go larger in size, you will see lower boost levels. | 2019-04-23T12:34:59 | http://www.superchargersonline.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=510_1071_1073 |
This soup has some interesting ingredients. Pumpkin (of course), orange juice, smoked Gruyere cheese, and Sherry are among them. It’s easy to do, the ingredients are fairly cheap (you’ll see I bought all of mine at either Aldi or Walmart) and it’s cooks in under an hour.
Heat 3 pats of butter in a Dutch oven. Cook the onions until translucent. Add the pumpkin, potatoes, and ginger. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until heated through.
Add the chicken stock, orange juice, and sherry. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 20 minutes. Potatoes should be soft.
Add the cream, salt, and pepper. Heat it through, about 5 minutes. Add 4 ounces of the Gruyere cheese, making sure it is melted throughout the soup.
Remove from heat and serve. If you’ve got some nice crusty French bread, it goes well with this. I picked up a baguette at Aldi and it was perfect with this.
I’m going to give this a try, sounds yummy. | 2019-04-24T06:58:52 | https://www.cherieburbach.com/2014/09/29/pumpkin-potato-soup/ |
Pork chops and apples aren’t exactly a novel combination, but this Greenmarket Cookbook recipe provides an English twist to the classic pairing. It certainly is a nice alternative to the other apple products I’ve been cooking my pork chops in—applesauce can get awful sweet. The cider gives a hint of alcohol and a pinch of apples and leaves the chops perfectly moist and tender.
I just made sure it was a good cider that didn’t have any sugar added. I found a great 750 mL bottle for less than $8. Sure, it helped the dish, but it will also made those 15 minutes of waiting seem just that much shorter.
Pour the oil in a skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced onion and stir often for about 4 minutes or until nicely browned.
Add the thinly sliced red pepper and turn the heat to medium low. Cook for 7 minutes, or until the peppers are soft. Move the peppers and onions to the edge of the skillet and get ready for the chops.
Season the chops with the salt and pepper. Add to the open space in the pan, turn the heat back up to medium-high, and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
Pour in the cider, turn the heat to low, and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve up! | 2019-04-21T07:03:59 | https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2007/09/dinner-tonight-pork-chops-braised-in-hard-cid.html |

The power of the internet: Talk radio knows the bill better than the Senators do, says Jeff Sessions.
I'd think that bloggers know it better as well. For one thing, I suspect that if the Senators have copies of it, they have paper copies, printed out at Federal expense. We have the annotated web version, and 300 pages of amendments.
1. Are you part of the elites or establishment in your community?
2. Have you given any donations to either of your Senators' campaigns in the past?
3. Do you have any kind of relationship with the Senators, members of theirstaff, local leaders of his/her political party, or somebody who does?
Although most of us are part of the broad public (that tends to be overlooked by Senators), I know that out of 437,000 activist NumbersUSA members, some of you in every state have some special connections.
For those of you who do, I appeal with greatest urgency for you to use every means at your disposal to call your Senator or staff person or political party leader — this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow morning.
We are already hearing from a number of you with these kinds of connections who are making contact. And the effect is powerful.
You cannot overestimate the power of your calling and saying, "I've been a friend for years .... " or "I'm a financial supporter" or something of that kind and then talk about your great concern for the political future of this Senator, as well as for your state, if S. 1639 goes through.
The late Robert A. Heinlein talked about the importance of that kind of contact in his non-fiction book Take Back Your Government , written in 1947, but he was talking about 3 by 5 index cards, 2 cent postcards, and 5 cent telephone calls.
Please make arrangements to be at the closest "Main State Office" of each Senator that voted YES on CLOTURE.
Tell the office staff "I am a taxpayer and a constituent. I am opposed to this Amnesty bill and want Senator _____ to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE today! I am here to await the results of his/her vote and get that information when it comes in."
Do not take signs, stickers, or any items. You are merely a voter and a taxpayer, in a taxpayer supported office, seeking information about the Cloture vote. You can continue your calls to DC on your cell phone. Call all local media if you can, tell them who you are, where you are and what you are doing.
OUR GOAL: Word must reach the Senator's ear, before they vote on Cloture, that there is a group of anti-amnesty concerned constituents talking to press and awaiting their vote on cloture at their main state offices.
Again, that's the kind of thing that couldn't be organized on a national basis in the 1940's, when Heinlein was writing. It's another example of what can be done by ordinary citizens, with ordinary computers, and one ordinary vote each. | 2019-04-23T18:13:19 | https://vdare.com/posts/the-power-of-the-internet |

Is Passage of Immigration Bill Dependent on Paul Ryan?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats doggedly pursuing a far-reaching immigration bill are counting on help from Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's running mate last year and an unlikely candidate for delivering the centerpiece of President Barack Obama's second-term agenda.
Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman who is frequently mentioned in the GOP lineup of possible 2016 presidential candidates, stands apart from many fellow House Republicans in favoring a way out of the shadows for the 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. in violation of the law.
"Paul Ryan says we cannot have a permanent underclass of Americans, that there needs to be a pathway to citizenship," says Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., who has been working relentlessly on immigration legislation. "He is my guiding light. I know I get him in trouble every time I say it."
Senior White House aides often mention the Wisconsin Republican as crucial to the prospects for legislation this year, hoping the Republican with impeccable conservative credentials will sway recalcitrant House members. Ryan also is a reminder of two other powerful forces backing an overhaul of immigration laws - the Catholic Church and business.
Ryan is a practicing Catholic who made a point of attending Mass every Sunday during the jam-packed 2012 campaign; the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops strongly favors the first major changes to immigration in 27 years.
Ryan also represents a southeast Wisconsin district in a state that relies on the manufacturers of Waukesha engines, Kohler generators and numerous supply chains. The companies are counting on immigrants to fill future factory jobs.
"The American economy needs immigration reform, certainly the Wisconsin economy does," said Kurt Bauer, the president and CEO of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the state's chamber of commerce.
Ryan says any immigration legislation has to address the question of the 11 million living in the U.S. unlawfully. Improving border security alone is not enough. "You can't fix the system, in my opinion, this is my personal opinion, without coming up with a viable solution for the undocumented and it's got to be a solution that respects the rule of law, that doesn't grant amnesty, that respects the person who came legally from the beginning by making sure that those who are undocumented go to the back of the line, and I think we can come up with that," he said.
But House Republicans in gerrymandered districts with few Hispanic voters have shown little inclination for addressing a path to citizenship, let alone an urgency to deal with immigration at all. Forces of personalities - Republicans Marco Rubio and John McCain and Democrat Chuck Schumer - helped steer a comprehensive bill to passage in the Senate on a strong, bipartisan vote of 68-32.
The House, which has adopted a piecemeal approach, is unlikely to consider any legislation before the August break, a timetable that raises doubts of any immigration legislation passing Congress this year.
Ryan is undeterred. He is working away from the spotlight, staying in contact with the bipartisan "Gang of Seven" House lawmakers trying to craft a bill. He doesn't see himself in a high-profile role like Rubio, arguing it's an approach that doesn't work in the House.
"There are lots of different pockets of parties here in the House. And I've always believed from passing budgets and other big pieces of legislation that listening to members, talking with members, negotiating is the most effective way of getting things over the finish line," he said in a recent interview. "It's kind of more of a workhorse role than a show horse role only because I just find that's the most effective way of getting things through the House."
Proponents of immigration legislation are pressing to get the House to back an overhaul bill. Senators this week identified 121 House Republicans seen as persuadable in favor of a bill, and Ryan was on the list. | 2019-04-20T22:10:22 | https://www.usaonrace.com/feature-stories/4385/is-passage-of-immigration-bill-dependent-on-paul-ryan.html |

Node.js, like any back-end language, offers a simple file reading and writing module. And like most Node data modules, it uses streams abstraction to communicate between services. Streams are one of those core node ideas that are found in most data services. There are two types of Streams: readable and writeable streams. Each has its own events, behaviours and can be controlled with event listeners to your own needs. You can listen to events like connections, data, stream ending and various others (depending on the module).
However, data transfer usually come with some problems. Say you have a client to whom the server is sending data. If you happen to be reading data from an outside source, you will be doing two processes. Reading that data and sending it to the client. At certain points, you will find the client to be consuming the data slower than you are sending it. If this behaviour isn’t checked, you will end up with a slow client problem. Fortunately, Node allows you to pause streams and listen for any drained data events from client writing process.
readFile.pause(); //if we aren't writing to the client, dont read anything!
That is it; except for a simple error that I mentioned in the first paragraph. Can you spot it?
Hint #1: Try refreshing the page.
Hint #2: Your node service needs to create a new read stream for each request.

Many of you want to know how we advise you to eat. Some of our patients desperately need to know the correct way to change their method of eating. This is because their eating habits are making and keeping them unwell. The best diet for restoring health has been described as "the Zone". It consists of the method of getting the correct amount of protein and other foods (40% of calories from carbohydrates, 30% from protein foods, 30% from oils) to balance hormones, blood-sugar, and take the stress off the pancreas and adrenals. It allows you to eat almost anything. Your diet can be as tasty and varied as you want it to be!
1. Help you lose weight (if you need to) or gain muscle (if you need to). It normalizes your weight and body-fat percentages. It is a successful and dependable weight-loss system for the overweight. The average overweight person will lose pounds every week. It will also allow the increase of lean muscle mass for the active person working-out. Because it keeps the body from over-secreting insulin, and to release the fat-burning hormone glucagon, it allows the body to access fat to be burned as fuel.
2. Balance your blood sugar, and keep your pancreas from secreting excess insulin. That will prevent diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol. It is the recommended eating system for headache and migraine patients.
3. Increase your energy and keep you mentally alert. It takes food-related (blood sugar) stress off the adrenal glands. It is the food-balancing system for patients with low adrenals and the symptoms caused by them.
4. Offer you the eating method that can be customized for varied people with extremely different needs. It can help the very ill recover, or assist an elite athlete obtain best-ever performance.
5. Reduce pain for many individuals. The hormonal balance the Zone causes will reduce the inflammatory conditions that are characterized by pain, including arthritis. It helps with autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis).
6. Extend your life expectancy because it normalizes blood pressure, factors affecting plaquing of artery walls, and thus occurrence of heart attack and stroke. There is evidence to show that it is cancer-preventing. It is the diet that will slow the aging process.
The key is to balance the ratio of protein, carbohydrates and oil every time you eat or snack. You will want to eat every 3-6 hours, because hormones and blood sugar stay optimally balanced for about 5 hours.
The Zone (40-30-30) is used as part of patients’ treatment programs. For many it is a central part of their nutrition program, together with supplements that are customized for their health condition. It brings improvement to individuals who, either by craving or misinformation, were loading-up on carbohydrates and under-eating protein foods. It brings the correct amount of the right oils to people who either over-consumed, or over-limited fat and oil intake. The results are often miraculous, and can be expected to be as good as the individual will understand, apply and follow the guidelines.
The easiest and recommended way to get the Zone (40-30-30) underway for you, is to for you to get a Zone Made Easy Starter Kit containing: The book and planner which tells you easily all you need to know. Also get the snack/meal replacement bars, and some EZ Whey so you can make the great tasting shakes.
For scholars seeking to read more detailed scientific information, the book "Getting into the Zone", by Dr. Barry Sears is available through us.
By getting a starter kit, you have all you need to start on this fabulous program the same day you get it! | 2019-04-18T10:26:23 | https://www.ucmg.net/weight.htm |

THE fate of the Internet and how it is governed is set to take the global stage on Dec 3 when the United Nation's 193-nation International Telecommunications Union (ITU) meets in Dubai for the World Conference on International Telecommunication (WCIT) to review a 1988 treaty.
The International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs) treaty governs how telephone calls and other communications traffic are exchanged internationally and the upcoming review is being conducted in an effort to update and revise it for relevance in a drastically changed and connected world.
Under the existing framework, the Internet has no centralized governance in either technological implementation or policies for Internet access and usages, allowing considerable freedom to communicate, innovate and participate.
However a new proposal for the ITRs to govern the Internet's role is fast gaining attention as worldwide concerns grow over the potential impact of the revised treaty which could increase Internet costs and violate consumers' privacy rights.
Among the issues on the WCIT agenda are ideas to battle Internet spam and fraud. But also included in the stack of over 1,300 proposals are potential hot-button items that opponents believe could be used by in places such as Iran and China to justify their crackdowns on bloggers and other Web restrictions.
In reports, US officials and companies have sounded the alarm about such proposals, which would expand the scope of the treaty so it shifts from regulating telecommunications networks to regulating the exchange of information on the Internet.
The European Telecommunications Network Operators, an association of 50 operators of 35 countries, also wants the ITU to subject Internet content providers to a rule which would authorize Internet service providers (ISPs) to charge them rates proportionate to the bandwidth their content consumes.
This proposed move would make providers of services such as YouTube, Facebook, Amazon and iTunes pay a substantial amount to the ISPs for their services, part of which might be passed on to the consumers.
The final decision, which would lead to a revision of the ITRs, would be made through a vote of the ITU member states at the conference.
In a bid to raise awareness and garner the support of the global Internet community over what has been described as a 'closed-door meeting' between selected stakeholders, two major movements have sprung up in recent months.
First there is coalition led by Canada-based OpenMedia called Protect Internet Freedom, which is representing over 160 countries.
In an article on its website, the organization’s online community facilitator Stephen Ludlow wrote: “Under the ITU’s governance, censorship laws introduced by one country would require all other participating countries to adopt those same restrictions, meaning that Internet openness and innovation would be threatened as a result."
In Malaysia, along with Dazzlepod and FinchVPN, the Center for Independent Journalism (CIJ) has been listed as a supporting member of the coalition.
In an email interview, Masjaliza Hamzah, CIJ’s executive officer, told Digital News Asia (DNA) that the review will have an impact on policies and standards that could affect the exercise of human rights on the Internet.
“Government representatives have full participation in the ITU, unlike civil society, and if the ITRs treaty also includes the Internet, this is yet another layer where policy and standards are discussed without civil society's direct input,” she said.
Masjaliza added that currently, civil society groups at least have some measure of access in the Internet's decentralized model of governance.
“The ITU's expertise is in telecommunications policy and regulation, so it should just stick to that mandate rather than expand it,” she said.
When asked if the CIJ had any major plans to push the campaign, Masjaliza said the CIJ currently does not have the resources to do so in a big way.
“We do what little we can, by promoting it on social media, and urging Malaysia-based organizations to sign. It always feels like an uphill battle, but civil society needs to make their stand on this known,” she added.
The second major campaign against the proposed changes to the ITRs is being spearheaded by Google.
The search giant began actively promoting its Take Action campaign early last week, urging Internet users to sign up for more details and include their voice in support of the free and open Internet.
According to Google, the independence of the Web is being increasingly threatened by governments, with 42 countries currently filtering content and in the past two years 19 new laws have been introduced which threaten Internet freedom.
However, the campaign’s assertion that only a handful of stakeholders, namely government entities, have a say in the ITRs proceedings, has been contested by the ITU.
Conneally said the so-called closed-door meeting is however inclusive of 193 national delegations, in addition to private sector companies and civil society organizations registered to attend in large numbers.
The post also pointed out that the United States, where Google itself is headquartered, has confirmed more than 125 people in its delegation, with a large majority of these delegates representing the private sector and civil society.
“It is interesting to note that Google representatives are part of the United States delegation,” he added.
The organization firmly believes that a revised treaty can help harness the power of ICTs (information and communications technologies) to deliver social and economic benefits in every nation on earth, including across every sector. ITU’s goal is to continue enabling the Internet, as it has done since the Internet’s inception.
With less than a week to go before the WCIT begins in Dubai, the campaign to garner global support against it continues with all eyes on the possible proposals which will emerge from the 11-day meeting and its potential consequences. | 2019-04-22T08:57:25 | https://www.digitalnewsasia.com/digital-economy/debate-over-internet-fate-to-light-up-in-dubai |
In order to interpret yet another of his mysterious and terrifying dreams, Nebuchadnezzar felt obliged to turn again to Daniel, ".because I know that the spirit of the Holy God is with you and no secret is withheld from you" (v 6).
The essential moral of the dream is that man's pride - a trait associated with human MALCHUS, kingship, government, power - is an affront to God, Who brings down and humbles the mighty in order to teach them that everything they have is only His gift.
Nebuchadnezzar had ascended to the greatest heights as a conqueror and ruler of a world empire. He had built up Babylon as an enormous metropolis whose magnificent buildings were the very wonder of the world. But he said in his heart, "My power and the strength of my hand has made for me all this might" (Deut. 8:17). He had to learn the same lesson that we all have to learn: that no matter what we may have achieved, whether materially or spiritually, there is no place for vanity and arrogance because everything we have has been given to us by God not because of our own intrinsic worth or merit but only through His kindness and compassion.
The great tree in Nebuchadnezzar's dream with its beautiful branches and abundant fruit providing food for all, shade for all the animals and branches for all the birds, was none other than the king himself, who is the PARNASS - provider of livelihood and sustenance for all. Thus MALCHUS is called the PARNASS, source of PARNASSAH.
It was Rabbi Nachman of Breslov who revealed that the angel that came to cut down Nebuchadnezzar's mighty MALCHUS and teach him the lesson of his life was a manifestation of the soul and spirit of RASHBI - Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, author of the outstanding kabbalistic treasure, the holy Zohar. In verse 10, "a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven", the initial letters of the Hebrew words, E-ER V-KADEESH M-IN SH-EMAYA NA-HEES, are an anagram of the name Shim'on (Preface to Likutey Moharan Part I).
To teach Nebuchadnezzar his lesson and humble his arrogant heart, he was to be literally cast down from his kingship and transformed into a beast living wild with the animals eating grass and moistened with dew. Stripped of his human intellect and sensibilities, he would have the heart of a beast for seven years.
The decree against Nebuchadnezzar is reminiscent of the similar decree against his counterpart on the side of holiness, King Solomon, who was tricked by Ashmodai ("Asmodeus") king of the demons into giving him his protective ring, after which the demon king banished Solomon from his kingdom forcing him to wander for years until he was restored (Targum and Rashi on Ecclesiastes 1:12; Sanhedrin 20b).
King Solomon recorded the moral of what he learned about the world during his period of humiliating banishment in the last work of his life, Ecclesiastes. Daniel spelled out the essential lesson that Nebuchadnezzar was to learn from his banishment here in our chapter, v 22: "You will be driven from men and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field. until you know that the Supreme God rules over the kingdom of men and that He gives it to whoever He pleases".
Ordinary citizens like ourselves should also learn from this that it is God who has appointed all of the world leaders of today, and He alone decides whom to raise up and whom to bring down. Instead of complaining about our "leaders" we should ask what we can do to improve things in the realm where we have influence: the spiritual realm.
Each one should also take to heart the existential message of this chapter to all men - for there comes a time when each one of us must meet our end, and the body goes back to the earth from which it came and the soul returns to her Maker.
Having interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel advised him to redeem his sins with charity. The rabbis taught that Daniel was punished for advising the wicked Nebuchadnezzar how to save himself, because "Charity elevates a People (= Israel ), but the kindness of the nations is a sin" (Proverbs 14:34). "All the kindness that the idolatrous nations perform is accounted to them as a sin because they do it only in order for their power to endure" (Bava Basra 10b). Some say Daniel's penalty was to be thrown into the lions den, while others say that Daniel is identical with Hathakh (Esther 4:6 & 9) who was killed by Haman (Bava Basra 4a).
For a whole year Nebuchadnezzar gave charity to support the exiles from Judea, who had been reduced to begging (Rashi on v 24) but one time he heard the noise of the crowds of poor people he had agreed to support and he regretted not having used the money to embellish Babylon even more grandiosely. He decided to stop giving charity (Rashi on v 25), and: "At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace. and said, Is this not great Babylon that I have built up by the might of my power." (v 27). No sooner had the words left his mouth than the decree as foretold in his dream was fulfilled exactly as Daniel had interpreted it, and Nebuchadnezzar was banished from his kingdom until he learned the truth.
According to the dating system of Midrash Seder Olam, Nebuchadnezzar had come to power in Babylon in 3319 (-441 B.C.E.) and ruled for 45 years until his death in 3364 (396 B.C.E.). He was succeeded by his son Eveel Merodakh, who ruled for 23 years, after which Belshazzar, Nebuchadnezzar's second son (Rashi on v 1), ruled for two years until 3389 (371 B.C.E.) It was in that year that Darius king of Medea fought against Belshazzar, killed him and captured Babylon , as recorded in the closing verse of our present chapter (v 30). Thus Babylon ruled for a total of 70 years.
Rashi (on verse 1) says, "We find in Josephus that Belshazzar fought against Darius the Mede and Cyrus (Darius' son-in-law) by day and conquered them in battle, and in the evening he made his great feast, and it was during the meal that his enemies returned and fought against the city and conquered it."
Nebuchadnezzar may have learned God's lesson, but he failed to teach it to his son Belshazzar, who at the height of his drunken jubilation over his imagined victory ordered the gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar had looted from the Holy Temple in Jerusalem to be brought out for use in his idolatrous feast.
The mysterious message of doom that appeared on the walls of Belshazzar's palace at the height of the banquet was inscribed by the fingers of a frightening human-looking hologram of a hand. The Talmud (Sanhedrin 21b-22a) brings a variety of opinions about why neither the king nor any of the Chaldean sages, wizards, astrologers, necromancers or other diviners could decipher the writing. One is that the script in which the Torah scroll was written changed in the days of Ezra (which were now beginning with the demise of Babylon ) and no-one knew the new script. Other opinions hold that in any case the message was written in the ATBASH cipher (where Aleph is replaced with Tav, Beit with Shin, etc.).
It would appear that since the death of Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel had been relegated to a position of lesser influence, but now while everybody panicked, the Queen (Mother?) suddenly remembered the divinely-gifted grace-crowned Daniel, who was summoned to foretell the imminent first stage in the collapse of Nebuchadnezzar's dream-image of gold, silver, copper, iron and clay as he had originally interpreted it (Chapter 2) - the fall of the golden head, Babylon.
Daniel rejected the gifts of purple robes, gold chains and rule over one third of the empire that Belshazzar offered him in return for deciphering the message. Daniel did everything not for gain but only LI-SHMOH, in order to sanctify the Name of God. Despite the fact that in speaking to Belshazzar he knew he was addressing another world autocrat no less arrogant and ruthless than his father, Daniel did not shrink from delivering his message of reproof and doom. After reminding Belshazzar of the forgotten lesson learned by Nebuchadnezzar, he says, "You his son Belshazzar. have not humbled your heart." (v 22). "You took the Temple vessels and used them to praise gods of silver and gold, copper, iron, wood and stone that do not see or hear or know anything, but you gave no honor to God, in Whose hands are your soul and all your ways" (v 23).
Each generation has to learn the same lesson again. The days of Babylonian supremacy had been numbered and were now complete. Belshazzar had been weighed in the scales and found wanting, and the Babylonian empire therefore broke in pieces as the ascendant star of Medea rose over the world. | 2019-04-18T12:22:57 | http://www.azamra.org/Bible/Daniel%204-5.htm |

For over 25 years I’ve used Nolan for all my AC work. He has not once disappointed me! Our AC went out at the office and as usual he was right here, earlier than planned, and had it working in a matter of minutes! This time an electrician had marked our breaker panel wrong and it was simply a tripped breaker, but each time I know I can count on the fastest, most cost effective fix from Same Day AC. I recommend Same Day AC to all my friends, family and clients!
“When my 30 year old Singer AC finally gave out, Same Day AC was there to help. They installed an incredibly reliable Trane unit that has paid for itself in energy savings in less than three years. With the optional extended warrantee, I have not had one worry in the world, and Same Day AC is there every Spring and Fall to run a maintenance check on our new system. Thanks Same Day!
“Same Day AC has been a great asset to our home inspection business. If we have an air conditioning or heating problem they rush out and take care of it. They make our unhappy clients happy again! | 2019-04-23T06:11:58 | https://www.samedayacservice.com/testimonials/ |

I'm trying to write an algorithm that reads in two CSV files to a table, loops through each entry in one looking for an identical value in the second, and either updating some data in the table or writing it all to a new table. When the loop is complete, I'll write it all back out to another CSV file.
The reading and writing of the files I'm ok with, having learnt the syntax for a previous iteration of this project.
I think I'd be using a nested foreach loop, with the outer loop pulling the reference value and the inner loop parsing to see if there's a match - if true, update data I'm looking for, if false, write a null value or something.
Accepting help on getting correct algorithm or pseudocode, but will also accept code snippets if you're good with PowerShell.
If the files were both pre sorted by the value of the field in question then the number of iterations could be drastically slashed.
But of course the sort operation in itself is a bunch of work that has to be done sometime.
And you don't necessarily want your data reordered in such a fashion - though you could add a field containing original record # then just sort by that in the final stage.
The datasets are alphabetically ordered - or can be, quite easily.
Unsure if I just spent too many hours playing with spreadsheets, but I guess I could look at the first letter of the value being parsed, and only match against values from the other dataset starting with the same character.
I remember the overheads involved in eg bubble sorting vs other types of sorting, but I'm not sure if the pattern matching in powershell is smart enough to skim the first character, and only move onto the second if it's the same, and so on, rather than matching against every single entry in the array/table.
For string comparisons you may as well just straight up compare them, the comparison will quit at the first mismatched character which should be more efficient than you pre-parsing in that way.
For the sorting - for sure there must be some free, easy to call packages out there that you could just use rather than having to reinvent the wheel. | 2019-04-19T23:12:45 | https://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/topic/60074-powershell-help/ |

The goal of the study is the identification of pigments and other materials contained in wall paintings of three Macedonian tombs which date back to the fourth to third century BC: the tomb I of Dion, the tomb IV of Dion, and the tomb A (Heuzey). The investigation is carried out in two phases. First, portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is used for in situ measurements. In the second phase, 12 microsamples which were removed from damaged areas of the wall paintings are investigated using optical microscopy, micro-Raman, and micro-FTIR spectroscopy.
The following pigments are identified: red ochre, yellow ochre, Egyptian blue, and carbon black. Moreover, the dominant presence of calcite is revealed, while gypsum is identified in the preparation layers of only two samples. Finally, an organic material (probably egg yolk) is detected in three samples by FTIR. Based on these findings, an interpretation of the possible (fresco/secco) painting technique(s) which could have been applied in the Macedonian paintings is provided, in light of previously published reports.
The authors would like to thank the Ephorate of Antiquities of Pieria and the Ministry of Culture of Greece for providing the permission to study the mural paintings and the corresponding samples. | 2019-04-24T20:12:08 | https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-78093-1_25 |

Wait. Wait! Give us a minute. Just a second. I just have to get my pants on. Too many things, all at once, and the pants trip the traveller, face-splat. Slow down, sit down, put pants on one leg at a time.
and how does it feel to be a celebrity? My attempt ended up A over T, but at least no one was looking! Me no celebrity! | 2019-04-19T20:23:12 | https://lindaghill.com/2018/01/08/jusjojan-daily-prompt-january-8th-2018/comment-page-1/ |
The 670G LC excavator has been upgraded to Tier 4-Final with a 463-horsepower engine. Smart features include a Powerwise III engine/hydraulic-management system with multiple productivity modes that enable operators to balance engine performance and hydraulic flow for predictable operation, the company says.
“High productivity” delivers more power and faster hydraulic response to move more material. “Power” provides smooth and balanced metering for normal operation. “Economy” reduces top speed and helps save fuel.
Maintenance upgrades include a battery disconnect switch, spin-on fuel filters, and two additional water separators to maintain long fuel filter life. An improved step position on the track frame and handrails on the upper structure provide multiple points of contact when accessing the engine compartment. | 2019-04-22T15:09:05 | https://www.constructionequipment.com/john-deere-670g-lc-excavator |

* Even with the proliferation of antiviolence curricula, sometimes teachers may decide to simply take matters into their own hands. Arnold Pakula, a fifth-grade teacher at the Highland Oaks Elementary School in Dade County, Fla., reached that point after a number of shootings of teenagers in his area.
At the time, he was serving on the board of the local parent-teacher association. The group's discussion turned to the problems of kids with guns, ``and I said, I really need to do something in my fifth-grade class,'' Mr. Pakula says.
So he wrote a play about the accidental death, by gunshot, of a young student. The play has six characters, each of whom sees the sad incident through a different lens - a friend, a parent, a teacher, for instance.
The play was originally intended for an elementary-school audience, but Pakula developed another version for older kids, in which the characters include coaches and boy- or girlfriends.
The teacher and his student-actors are regularly invited to take their play to schools in the Miami area. The short performance is usually followed by ``lots of questions and answers about guns and gun possession,'' Pakula says. His own school is suburban and mainly white, but the audiences are typically black or Hispanic.
``Race doesn't matter,'' Pakula says. He has seen all kinds of kids come up after the play to talk about its connection to events in their own lives, whether injuries, murders, or suicides. | 2019-04-23T17:51:36 | https://www.csmonitor.com/1994/0718/18122.html |
Utilization of antibiotics in food-producing animals has resulted in a larger risk of life-threatening infections in young children – and significantly reduced medicine’s ability to treat those infections.
The threat is the subject of a report published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The lead author and the AAP’s immediate past chair of the executive committee of the Council of Environmental Health, Dr. Jerome A. Paulson, FAAP, stated in the introduction that antimicrobial resistance is one of the major threats to world public health, and puts our ability to treat infectious diseases at risk.
The report comes out on the same day the World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement which says there are global misunderstandings about antibiotic resistance.
Officials from WHO also said that 64% of individuals surveyed in 12 countries stated that antibiotic resistance is a serious issue. On the other hand, 66% said that people are not in danger of a drug-resistant infection if they are taking antibiotics as prescribed. 44% stated that antibiotic resistance is only an issue for those who take prescriptions frequently.
Paulson stated that over 2 million people in the US became ill with antimicrobial-resistant infections each year, causing more than 23,000 deaths.
According to the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, there were more than 19,000 infections involving children in 2013. Those infections resulted in 4,200 hospitalizations and 80 deaths.
Paulson stated that the highest incidence rate in this group was for children below the age of 5.
He added that life-threatening infections are highly unusual in otherwise healthy children. Majority of life-threatening illnesses happen in children with other medical issues. However, healthy children can contract pneumonia, from the pneumococcal bacteria, which can be life threatening. In addition, they can get infections from E. coli 0157, which they may contract from contaminated meat, which may be life-threatening.
One of the primary causes of antimicrobial resistance is a particular farming method. Low doses of antimicrobial agents are added by farmers to the feed of healthy animals over long periods to promote growth, prevent disease and increase feed efficiency.
These non-therapeutic uses are partly responsible for resistance and often make antibiotics ineffective when doctors require them to treat infections in humans. Children, especially, are at risk.
Paulson suggested two immediate precautions parents can take.
They can purchase poultry and meat that has not been raised using antimicrobial agents, or they can work with others to demand the elimination of antimicrobial use in farm animals except to treat disease.
The report authors highlight that a lot of antimicrobial agents used in food animals are similar to or are the same as those used in human medicine.
They wrote that antibiotic agents in food animals may frequently be used without any veterinary oversight or prescription, unlike in human medicine. | 2019-04-20T19:13:21 | https://www.internationalinside.com/health/antibiotics-used-in-livestock-threaten-childrens-health/ |
