Roberto Mangabeira Unger (; born 24 March 1947) is a philosopher and politician. He has developed his views and positions across many fields, including social, political, and economic theory. In legal theory, he is best known by his work in the 1970s and 80s while at Harvard Law School as part of the Critical Legal Studies movement, which is held to have helped disrupt the methodological consensus in American law schools. His political activity helped the transition to democracy in Brazil in the aftermath of the military regime, and culminated with his appointment as Brazil's Minister of Strategic Affairs in 2007 and again in 2015.
Unger's critique of economics begins with the identification of a key moment in economic history, when the analysis of production and exchange turned away from social theory and engaged in a quest for scientific objectivity. In Unger's analysis, classical economics focused on the causal relations among social activities, which were connected with the production and distribution of wealth. Classical economists asked questions about the true basis of value, activities that contributed to national wealth, systems of rights, or about the forms of government under which people grow rich. In the late-nineteenth century, in response to attacks from socialist ideas and debates about how society works, and as a means to escape the conundrums of value theory and to answer how values could become prices, marginalist economics arose. This movement in economics disengaged economics from prescriptive and normative commitments to withdraw the study of economies from debates about how society worked and what kind of society we wanted to live in. For Unger, this moment in the history of economics robbed it of any analytical or practical value. Unger's critique of Marginalism begins with Walras' equilibrium theory, which attempted to achieve a certainty of economic analysis by putting aside normative controversies of social organization. Unger finds three weaknesses that crippled the theory: foremost, the theory claimed that equilibrium would be spontaneously generated in a market economy. In reality, a self-adjusting equilibrium fails to occur. Second, the theory puts forth a determinate image of the market. Historically, however, the market has been shown to be indeterminate with different market arrangements. Third, the polemical use of efficiency fails to account for the differences of distribution among individuals, classes, and generations. The consequences of the marginalist movement were profound for the study of economics, Unger says. The most immediate problem is that under this generalizing tendency of economics, there is no means by which to incorporate empirical evidence and thus to re-imagine the world and develop new theories and new directions. In this way, the discipline is always self-referential and theoretical. Furthermore, the lack of a normative view of the world curtails the ability to propose anything more than a policy prescription, which by definition always assumes a given context. The discipline can only rationalize the world and support a status quo. Lastly, Unger finds that this turn in economics ended up universalizing debates in macroeconomics and leaving the discipline without any historical perspective. A consequence, for example, was that Keynes' solution to a particular historical crisis was turned into a general theory when it should only be understood as a response to a particular situation.

Summarize this article in one sentence.
For the health and safety of your home and family, and the maintenance of your wood stove, you shouldn’t burn anything but seasoned wood in your stove. You can use plain paper or newspaper as kindling, but don’t burn things like: Wood that’s wet, green, painted, or pressure treated Garbage Plastic Cardboard Coal Particle board or plywood Wood pellets Gas, lighter fluid, or any other fuel When the ashes build up under the grate or in the bottom of the firebox, you should clean them out. Too much ash in the bottom will impede the airflow, meaning your fire won’t get the oxygen it needs. To clean the ashes, use a shovel or brush to sweep the ashes into a metal bucket. Take the ashes outside immediately and add them to your garden or compost. Always leave a one-inch (2.5-cm) layer of ash in the bottom of the fireplace for insulation. Never clean out the ashes right after a fire. Wait at least 24 hours to give the ashes time to cool completely. When you're using the wood stove on a regular basis, clean inside the firebox once a week. To clean it, scrub the inside with a stiff-bristled brush to remove soot and other residue. When you’ve scrubbed the inside, vacuum out any ash and soot from around the base of the stove. To make sure your wood stove is properly cleaned and to prevent chimney fires, call in a professional chimney sweep once a year. This person can also inspect the stove, pipes, and other components for damage and corrosion. The best time to have your chimney swept is before summer, because heat and humidity can mix with carbon residue and create acids that eat away at your wood stove components. You should also inspect your wood stove regularly for rust, cracks, and other signs of damage.
Summary:
|
Burn seasoned wood only. Clean out the ashes regularly. Clean the firebox weekly. Have the stove inspected annually.

Writers of Sporting News described hitting four home runs in a single Major League Baseball (MLB) game as ``baseball's greatest single-game accomplishment''. Eighteen players have accomplished the feat to date, the most recent being Scooter Gennett on June 6, 2017 against the St. Louis Cardinals. No player has done this more than once in his career and no player has ever hit more than four in a game. Bobby Lowe was the first to hit four home runs in a single game, doing so on May 30, 1894. Fans were reportedly so excited that they threw $160 in silver coins ($4,500 today) onto the field after his fourth home run.

The foursome of chirpy college students warmed up in the River Ridge course tee box, focusing on loosening their legs before taking their first shot on a par-four hole.
Cody Seybold ran toward his ball, almost "Happy Gilmore" style.
Then there was that unmistakable "thump" and a well-struck soccer ball arced toward the first green and its 21-inch diameter hole.
Welcome to the wonderful world of FootGolf, a soccer-golf hybrid played on more than 257 courses in the United States, according to the FootGolf League.
How FootGolf got started
"It's the same structure as golf, except you are playing with your feet," said player Connor Bush, wearing soccer cleats and baggy shorts.
"You still have to include strategy. What kind of green are you playing on? Are you going to drive? Are you going to chip?" he said.
Because soccer balls don't travel as far as golf balls, the FootGolf holes are shorter, averaging 157 yards on the Oxnard, California, course.
While the weekday, 18-hole green fee for traditional golf at River Ridge is $38, the fee for its ball-booting cousin is much less.
The FootGolf green fee at River Ridge is $10 for adults and $5 for children. A soccer ball runs between $15 and $30, and no tees or gloves are needed.
"It's really not expensive -- great when you are on the college budget," FootGolfer Lloyd Mueller said while juggling his soccer ball between shots.
"It's a great way to spend 2½ hours with your friends."
At River Ridge, the FootGolf holes run perpendicular to and weave between regular golf holes, so both traditional and FootGolfers play at the same time.
Answer the following questions:
1. What sport was played?
2. Were they in high school?
3. How many courses are there?
4. How is it different than golf?
5. Are the holes longer than golf?
6. How much does it cost for regular golf?
7. Where is the course?
8. What is it called?
9. How much does it cost for a kid to play?
10. And for adults?
11. How long does it take?
12. Do they take turns with regular golfers?
13. What is the name of one of the players?
14. And another?
15. And one more?
16. What kind of shoes do they wear?
17. How big is the hole?
18. Why are the holes shorter than regular golf?
Numbered answers:

1. FootGolf
2. No
3. more than 257
4. you play with your feet
5. No
6. $38

2. a fairly provocative look at teenage life, featuring the kinds of multidimensional characters that aren't typically included in movies aimed at the high school crowd.
3. . . .its bolder themes and naked ambition heighten the sense of disappointment towards the film's end when it fails to deliver on its initial promise.
4. The picture's relative uniqueness is what intrigues and compels, marking Better Luck Tomorrow as important, if not ultimately entirely successful.
5. A powerful and unpredictable film.
6. Reviewers seem surprised that a young Asian-American filmmaker has been reading Bret Easton Ellis and watching Quentin Tarantino, when in reality the opposite would be startling...
7. Justin Lin’s biggest accomplishment is providing a stereotype-shattering insiders’ view of the angst and rage of a group of Asian teenagers ...
8. [I]f the story has some rough edges, well, it's a first film.
9. Doesn't settle for easy thriller plot twists.
10. At times Lin's story slides into crime cliches, but whatever he lacks in plotting he makes up for in style and brute emotional force.

The ROFR rights that go with this capacity add a tremendous amount of value (i.e. market rates with short term commitment vs. 15 - 20 year obligation of new build) Capacity currently has access to all supply basins. However, the current FERC proceedings on receipt point reallocations will probably result in a supply split of 60% San Juan and 40% Permian. Rates for the capacity and my Duke proposal are attached.

The California Gold Rush (1848--1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. The news of gold brought approximately 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. The sudden influx of immigration and gold into the money supply reinvigorated the American economy, and California became one of the few American states to go directly to statehood without first being a territory, in the Compromise of 1850. The Gold Rush had severe effects on Native Californians and resulted in a precipitous population decline from disease, genocide and starvation. By the time it ended, California had gone from a thinly populated ex-Mexican territory, to the home state of the first presidential nominee for the new Republican Party, in 1856.
Based on the above text, what's the best answer to this question: did california became a state because of the gold rush?

Background: Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock musical about a fictional rock and roll band fronted by a transgender East German singer, Hedwig Robinson. The book is by John Cameron Mitchell, and the music and lyrics are by Stephen Trask. The story draws on Mitchell's life as the son of a U.S. Army Major General who once commanded the U.S. sector of occupied West Berlin. The character of Hedwig was inspired by a German divorced U.S. Army wife who was a Mitchell family babysitter and moonlighted as a prostitute at her Junction City, Kansas, trailer park home.
Context: The character of Hedwig was originally a supporting character in the piece. She was loosely inspired by a German female babysitter/prostitute who worked for Mitchell's family when he was a teenager in Junction City, Kansas. The character of Tommy, originally conceived as the main character, was based on Mitchell himself: both were gay, the sons of an army general, deeply Roman Catholic, and fascinated with mythology. Hedwig became the story's protagonist when Trask encouraged Mitchell to showcase their earliest material in 1994 at NYC's drag-punk club Squeezebox, where Trask headed the house band and Mitchell's boyfriend, Jack Steeb, played bass. They agreed the piece should be developed through band gigs in clubs rather than in a theater setting in order to preserve a rock energy. Mitchell was deeply influenced by Squeezebox's roster of drag performers who performed rock covers. The setlists of Hedwig's first gigs included many covers with lyrics rewritten by Mitchell to tell Hedwig's story: Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well"; Television's "See No Evil"; Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wide World"; Yoko Ono's "Death of Samantha"; Pere Ubu's "Non-Alignment Pact"; Cher's "Half Breed"; David Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging"; Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes"; and the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale." A German glam rendition of Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" once served as the musical's finale. Mitchell's second gig was as fill-in host at Squeezebox on a bill featuring singer Deborah Harry of Blondie. It was for this occasion that Mike Potter first designed Hedwig's trademark wig, which was initially constructed from toilet paper rolls wrapped with synthetic blond hair. Mitchell, Trask, and the band Cheater (Jack Steeb, Chris Wielding, Dave McKinley, and Scott Bilbrey) continued to workshop material at venues such as Fez Nightclub and Westbeth Theater Center for four years before premiering the completed musical Off-Broadway in 1998. Mitchell has explained that Hedwig is not a trans woman, but a genderqueer character. "She's more than a woman or a man," he has said. "She's a gender of one and that is accidentally so beautiful."

Embed Tornadoes kill at least 4 in Mississippi 2:13 autoplay autoplay Copy this code to your website or blog
An already hectic holiday travel week took a tragic turn Tuesday afternoon as at least four people were killed by tornadoes that swept through the south. Damage-causing twisters were reported in Louisiana and Georgia but the deadliest were in Mississippi.
The coroner in Marion County, Mississippi, reported two fatalities, as well as, several injuries, and the sheriff in Jones County reported two more people died when a tornado destroyed the mobile home they were in, according to NBC affiliate WDAM.
"If today's storm deaths prove to all have been caused by tornadoes, it will become the deadliest December tornado event in Mississippi since 38 died in the Vicksburg tornado of Dec. 5, 1953," according to Weather Channel senior digital meteorologist Nick Wiltgen.
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant issued a state of emergency for those two counties at around 7 p.m. ET. Emergency management officials in Mississippi said that tornadoes closed U.S. Highway 98, damaged multiple homes and left some 8,000 customers without power. Golf ball-sized hail fell in Enterprise, Mississippi, along with some pea-sized hail in the Bude area.
The National Weather Service said a tornado watch was in effect late Tuesday for parts of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas and warned of the possibility of 2-inch-wide hail. Roy Lucksinger, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel, said 3 to 5 inches of rain was possible across the South. There were also reports of at least two other tornadoes Monday afternoon: One near Amite City, Louisiana, which caused tree and power line damage, according to the Weather Channel; and one near Valdosta, Georgia.

Meanwhile, flight delays began piling up at East Coast airports on Tuesday because of the tornado-storm system packing strong winds, thunderstorms, snow. Another system is threatening rain and heavy snow in the Northwest and Rockies. And dozens of flights were scrapped at Philadelphia International and at LaGuardia in New York, and delays ran as long as two hours.
The East Coast system will pivot to the north on Wednesday, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds into the Great Lakes. Chicago and Milwaukee could see "significant" snowfall toward the end of Christmas Eve, Lucksinger said.
"At the moment the system could just clip Chicago on Christmas Eve with potentially heavy snow that would certainly disrupt flights," Lucksinger added.
And a separate storm arriving in the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday is set to bring rain before moving across the Rockies. Salt Lake City could see up to 8 inches of snow on Christmas Day.

Tornado system touches down in parts of Mississippi
A tornado system touched down in portions of Mississippi on Tuesday afternoon, killing at least four people and leaving injuries, damage and power outages, said local authorities.
Two people died in Jones County and two more in Marion County, said state Emergency Management Agency spokesman Brett Carr.
"Two people died inside their mobile home that was completely destroyed," said Jones County Sheriff Alex Hodge. "This was in the rural part of Jones County. There were other brick and mortar homes that had major damage but we have no other injuries reported."
The mobile home was not part of a mobile home park but on a property by itself, clarified Hodge.

In the town of Sumrall, west of Hattiesburg, a tornado hit a day care off Highway 42.
"Got it pretty good," said police spokesman Officer Nick Verner.
Verner said all the children have been accounted for and there were no injuries. They were moved to a nearby bank.
In Columbia, 27 miles southwest of Sumrall, the tornado damage appeared to be centered off Highway 98 near a Walmart, according to Marion County Emergency Management spokeswoman Megan Smith.
Smith confirmed reports of injuries and damaged or destroyed cars and structures.
"Fifty patients were seen in the ER today because of the storm," said Marion General Hospital spokesperson Millie Swan. "Eight of those were transported to Forest General Hospital in Hattiesburg because they needed a higher level of care. We are operating on generator power. Columbia is completely out of power."
Swan said most of the patients have been released.
"We may see more patients come in tomorrow though as search and rescue continues. Maybe someone who broke their ankle or something and has waited to come in," said Swan.
About 6,300 households were without power, according to the Mississippi governor's office.
Also in Marion County, a sheriff's department operator reported people trapped and injured as a result of a tornado touchdown. Authorities couldn't provide an exact number of people affected.
Carr said multiple roads were closed due to damage including, Highway 13.
In Jones County, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency reported damaged homes and power outages.
Hodge said there was major damage to a church, trees down and power lines down.
"Right now, the system is pretty much forming a diagonal line across the southeast corner of the state," said spokesman Greg Flynn. "There is a report that we have another one -- a tornado in Jones County near the City of Laurel. It was a dangerous system coming through."
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant issued a state of emergency for Marion and Jones counties, along with other parts of the state affected by severe weather.
The same storm system destroyed about 15 homes outside Amite, Louisiana, 47 miles northeast of Baton Rouge, according to Tangipahoa Parish Emergency Management spokeswoman Vicki Travis.
Photos obtained by CNN showed structures completely flattened.
No injuries were reported in Tangipahoa, but 1,750 households did not have power.
Flynn said the agency worked to prepare residents for the storm but the bad weather "could not have come at a worst time of year."
"People are out scrambling to get their last-minute Christmas shopping done. We have a lot of people moving around and traveling for the holidays. A lot of visitors that may not know where to go and what to do when the bad weather came through," said Flynn.
The National Weather Service extended its tornado watch to include Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
Winter storm
The tornado system compounded a rain-heavy storm that already soaked the area.
"You wouldn't think of December as a month which you would see severe weather," said CNN meteorologist Karen Maginnis. "Actually, this is a secondary peak for tornado activity. The first is during the spring months, but we got very warm, moist unstable air that is going to unload quite a bit of heavy rainfall all across the southeast."
"This is going to be very problematic -- not just for travelers, but now that the weather has turned very violent," said Maginnis.
The National Weather Service warned that 2 to 4 inches of precipitation are expected, with 6 to 8 inches possible, in parts of Alabama, Georgia and north Florida by the time this storm rolls through.
A flash-flood warning was issued for parts of Tallahassee on Tuesday evening, where over 6 inches of rain had fallen.
The Northeast also experienced its share of weather woes on Tuesday. Travelers in Philadelphia were seeing average delays of almost two hours due to low clouds, the Federal Aviation Administration reported. Things weren't much better in Boston's airport and at LaGuardia and Newark Liberty airports in and around New York City.
Lower gas prices, more weather headaches?
A weather system spinning in the middle Mississippi River Valley is expected to move slowly toward the Great Lakes region.
A weather system that formed in the Gulf of Mexico pushed moisture north, creating heavy rain and winds up to 30 mph in the Southeast, CNN meteorologist Michael Guy said. On the Gulf Coast, at least, these storms could be accompanied by large hail and possibly isolated tornadoes.
All this wetness could make for treacherous driving on the I-95 corridor, which runs up the East Coast.
And none of it is good news for the 98.6 million Americans that AAA projects will be going 50 or more miles this holiday season, a 4% increase from last year. They can take advantage of plummeting gas prices -- which, averaging $2.25 nationwide, are down 69 cents a gallon from a year ago.
By Christmas Day, things should quiet down on the East Coast, with most of the moisture having moved into and past Canada.
"There may be a few lingering snow showers across the Western Appalachians and interior New England," he said. "Winds will be strongest Christmas Eve night into Christmas morning for the Northeast as the front and system passes."
It's not just the East
The West will have its own travel problems, with precipitation forecast to hit the Northwest on Tuesday moving into the Rockies -- in the form of snow -- Christmas Day.
The National Weather Service says snow is likely in Denver; Missoula, Montana; and Jackson, Wyoming. Flight delays are possible in Minneapolis; St. Louis; and Omaha, Nebraska.
Even Hawaii isn't immune, with flash flood watches in effect for all its main islands through Wednesday night due to heavy rains. ||||| CHICAGO (AP) — A wintry mix of Gulf Coast thunderstorms expected to travel north, predicted snowfall in the Great Lakes and blustery conditions in the nation's midsection threatened Tuesday to snag holiday travel plans nationwide.
While snow fell in some Midwestern states Tuesday — nearly 2 feet in South Dakota's Black Hills — a strong storm system expected to drop rain along the East Coast and snow from Missouri to Michigan developed in Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana, among other southern states. The storms in the South generated likely tornadoes, damaged some buildings and left thousands without power.
Meteorologists predicted rain-into-snow for parts of the Great Lakes region, with several inches of Christmas Eve snow expected in portions of Illinois. Officials at both airport hubs in the nation's third-largest city readied for the potential of holiday delays and cancellations, particularly with more people expected to fly this year.
"I'd be nervous about the possibility of not being able to get out," said Chicago area meteorologist Charles Mott. "I would definitely make plans about possibly staying put or doing something else."
About 4.2 million passengers are expected through O'Hare and Midway international airports during an 18-day holiday travel period ending Jan. 6, said Chicago Aviation Department spokeswoman Karen Pride. That would be a 3 percent increase at O'Hare and a 9 percent jump at Midway compared to last year. Pride urged travelers to allow plenty of time and monitor airlines closely.
Elsewhere, a blast of cold and snowy conditions affected travel Tuesday.
Dozens of flights in and out of Philadelphia International Airport were canceled and others saw delays of about two hours due to bad weather and low clouds.
Just west of Green Bay, Wisconsin, a school bus was involved in three-vehicle crash on snow-covered, slick roads. No serious injuries were reported.
In eastern Colorado, Interstate 70 was shut down into Kansas because of strong winds and blowing snow.
Parts of western South Dakota saw snow accumulations of a foot or more through Tuesday morning. Higher elevations in the Black Hills got close to 2 feet.
But not all winter enthusiasts were so lucky.
Snow isn't expected in other parts of South Dakota until Friday. Sioux Falls resident Alana Amdahl said she's disappointed about the lack of snow projected for Christmas.
"We live in South Dakota for a reason," said Amdahl, 27. "We don't have palm trees to put Christmas lights on, we have evergreens. Of course, we need snow. It can melt after the new year."

– There's lousy weather in many parts of the US just before Christmas but it's been especially bad in Mississippi, where tornadoes killed four people yesterday and left thousands of others without power. A state of emergency has been declared in two counties in the southeast of the state. "You wouldn't think of December as a month which you would see severe weather," a CNN meteorologist says. "Actually, this is a secondary peak for tornado activity," she adds, warning that "we got very warm, moist unstable air that is going to unload quite a bit of heavy rainfall all across the Southeast"—which could be problematic, and not just for travelers. The same storm system—packing thunderstorms and snow—caused delays at East Coast airports yesterday, with flights canceled in New York and Philadelphia, and is expected to hit the Great Lakes region today, reports NBC. Another storm system could snarl travel in the Northwest and Rockies. Officials in Chicago are braced for possible flight delays and cancellations. "I'd be nervous about the possibility of not being able to get out," a Chicago-area meteorologist tells the AP. "I would definitely make plans about possibly staying put or doing something else."

1. The African Union in 2009 adopted such a resolution , ` condemning the payment of ransoms to terrorist groups to secure the freedom of hostages ' .
2. The police should retain a monopoly on all negotiations , both to ensure kidnappings are not materially rewarded and to improve their own efforts to stop the practice .
3. Ransom payments should be criminalized and payees arrested if they are found to have paid a ransom .
4. Furthermore , the involvement of police will drag out hostage negotiations , making the overall industry less profitable to kidnappers for whom time is money .
5. While not all kidnappings may end peacefully , if the police are aware of them all , it may only take a few leads in a few cases to break a kidnapping ring and reduce the threat to society as a whole .

Maclean's pointed out that the 2008 novel The Hunger Games, and its subsequent 2012 film adaptation, have similar themes. Although Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins maintains that she ``had never heard of that book until (her) book was turned in'', The New York Times reports that ``the parallels are striking enough that Collins's work has been savaged on the blogosphere as a baldfaced ripoff'' and that ``there are enough possible sources for the plot line that the two authors might well have hit on the same basic setup independently.'' The 2012 film adaptation has also faced similar criticisms for similarities to Battle Royale.

Paragraph: Zinni feared that Bin Laden would in the future locate himself in cities, where U.S. missiles could kill thousands of Afghans. He worried also lest Pakistani authorities not get adequate warning, think the missiles came from India, RESPONSES TO AL QAEDA'S INITIAL ASSAULTS 135 and do something that everyone would later regret. Discussing potential repercussions in the region of his military responsibility, Zinni said, "It was easy to take the shot from Washington and walk away from it. We had to live there." Zinni's distinct preference would have been to build up counterterrorism capabilities in neighboring countries such as Uzbekistan. But he told us that he could not drum up much interest in or money for such a purpose from Washington, partly, he thought, because these countries had dictatorial governments. After the decision-in which fear of collateral damage was an important factor- not to use cruise missiles against Kandahar in December 1998, Shelton and officers in the Pentagon developed plans for using an AC-130 gunship instead of cruise missile strikes. Designed specifically for the special forces, the version of the AC-130 known as "Spooky"can fly in fast or from high altitude, undetected by radar; guided to its zone by extraordinarily complex electronics, it is capable of rapidly firing precision-guided 25, 40, and 105 mm projectiles. Because this system could target more precisely than a salvo of cruise missiles, it had a much lower risk of causing collateral damage. After giving Clarke a briefing and being encouraged to proceed, Shelton formally directed Zinni and General Peter Schoomaker, who headed the Special Operations Command, to develop plans for an AC-130 mission against Bin Laden's headquarters and infrastructure in Afghanistan. The Joint Staff prepared a decision paper for deployment of the Special Operations aircraft. Though Berger and Clarke continued to indicate interest in this option, the AC-130s were never deployed. Clarke wrote at the time that Zinni opposed their use, and John Maher, the Joint Staff 's deputy director of operations, agreed that this was Zinni's position. Zinni himself does not recall blocking the option. He told us that he understood the Special Operations Command had never thought the intelligence good enough to justify actually moving AC-130s into position. Schoomaker says, on the contrary, that he thought the AC-130 option feasible. The most likely explanation for the two generals' differing recollections is that both of them thought serious preparation for any such operations would require a long-term redeployment of Special Operations forces to the Middle East or South Asia. The AC-130s would need bases because the aircraft's unrefueled range was only a little over 2,000 miles.
Question: "Why were the AC 130's never deployed?"
Answer: "They did not have enough in supply"

The fourth Chinese domination was a period of the history of Vietnam, from 1407 to 1427 during which the country was invaded and ruled by the Chinese Ming dynasty. It was the result of the conquest of the region in 1406 to 1407. The previous periods of Chinese rules, collectively known as the Bắc thuộc periods in Vietnam, were longer-lasting, constituting much of Vietnam's history from 111 BC to 939 AD. The fourth Chinese occupation of Vietnam was eventually ended with the establishment of the Lê dynasty.

Dear Ken, I would like to thank you for the great experience that I had with Enron, and for the opportunity that you gave me three years ago. I joined Enron looking for a change and I have never regretted of my choice. A lot of things changed over this time. In my first presentation to Gazprom in Moscow, I remember, that I pictured Enron as the largest gas pipeline operator in Americas aggressively looking for energy development projects in emerging markets. Two years later, I was talking to Microsoft executives in Redmond, who were looking for a partner to conquer a high-tec broadband world. I don't know any other company, which can offer such an opportunity for a change and growth, and which is able to change itself so much as Enron. I am grateful that over this time you have been personally involved in my business career and introduced me to the Enron management team - Mark Frevert, Richard DiMichele, Vince Kaminsky and others. I also would like to use this opportunity to admit some of my mistakes. As it was my first experience inside a corporate environment (not as CEO), it took me some time to develop relationships with people inside Enron. These relationships are critical to achieving success within the company. But Enron is a great place to learn, and in a culture that encourages innovation and risk-taking, some mistakes are inevitable. I am pleased that the deal that my team and I developed and managed to provide Microsoft (MSN) with broadband network was successful (you may remember we discussed this idea prior to my move to Enron Broadband Services). This spring I took an advantage of your recommendation and graduated from the Harvard Advanced Management Program. It was a great experience and I learned professionally and personally. It was a very competitive group of executives from all over the world, and the program consisted of a three-month intensive academic curriculum. Together with one of my Harvard classmates and his Canadian telecom company, we are now working to start a new business in the US. You have a challenging task to return Enron to its leadership position. I admire the steps that you are making. Without restoring integrity to internal and external relationships, it would be impossible to achieve this goal. I have no doubts that you and your colleagues will make this happen. I wish you all the best and thank you again for the opportunity that you

golf greens are among the most highly managed turf areas to be found. not only are they subject to the variables of nature, they must withstand compaction from concentrated foot traffic and exhibit infiltration rates sufficient to absorb heavy rainfall without ponding while still retaining water and nutrients for optimum turf growth. in addition, maintenance costs are very carefully monitored with golf greens and there can be very little interruption of play for golfers.
How would the previous sentence be correctly capitalized?
