Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can coexist with asthma and can occur as a complication of chronic asthma. After the age of 65 most people with obstructive airway disease will have asthma and COPD. In this setting, COPD can be differentiated by increased airway neutrophils, abnormally increased wall thickness, and increased smooth muscle in the bronchi. However, this level of investigation is not performed due to COPD and asthma sharing similar principles of management: corticosteroids, long acting beta agonists, and smoking cessation. It closely resembles asthma in symptoms, is correlated with more exposure to cigarette smoke, an older age, less symptom reversibility after bronchodilator administration, and decreased likelihood of family history of atopy.
The restoration of power to the patriciate was only temporary. After a period of unrest with repeated violent clashes such as the Züriputsch of 1839, civil war (the Sonderbundskrieg) broke out in 1847 when some Catholic cantons tried to set up a separate alliance (the Sonderbund). The war lasted for less than a month, causing fewer than 100 casualties, most of which were through friendly fire. Yet however minor the Sonderbundskrieg appears compared with other European riots and wars in the 19th century, it nevertheless had a major impact on both the psychology and the society of the Swiss and of Switzerland.
Wood has long been used as an artistic medium. It has been used to make sculptures and carvings for millennia. Examples include the totem poles carved by North American indigenous people from conifer trunks, often Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), and the Millennium clock tower, now housed in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. It is also used in woodcut printmaking, and for engraving.
Connotation Connotation Connotation Definition Connotation refers to a meaning that is implied by a word apart from the thing which it describes explicitly. Words carry cultural and emotional associations or meanings, in addition to their literal meanings or denotations. For instance, “Wall Street” literally means a street situated in Lower Manhattan, but connotatively it refers to wealth and power. Positive and Negative Connotations Words may have positive or negative connotations that depend upon the social, cultural, and personal experiences of individuals. For example, the words childish, childlike and youthful have the same denotative, but different connotative, meanings. Childish and childlike have a negative connotation, as they refer to immature behavior of a person. Whereas, youthful implies that a person is lively and energetic. Common Connotation Examples Below are a few connotation examples. Their suggested meanings are shaped by cultural and emotional associations:“He’s such a dog .” – In this sense, the word dog connotes shamelessness, or ugliness.“That woman is a dove at heart.” – Here, the dove implies peace or gentility.“There’s no place like home .” – While home may refer to the actual building someone lives in, connotatively, it most often refers to family, comfort, and security.“What do you expect from a politician ?” – Politician has a negative connotation of wickedness and insincerity. To imply sincerity, the word statesperson might be used.“That woman is so pushy !” – Pushy refers to someone who is loud-mouthed, insisting, and irritating.“My mom and dad worked hard to put me through college.” – The words Mom and Dad, when used in place of mother and father, connote loving parents, rather than simply biological parents. Examples of Connotation in Literature In literature, it is a common practice among writers to deviate from the literal meanings of words in order to create novel ideas. Figures of speech frequently employed by writers are examples of such deviations. Example #1: Sonnet 18 (By William Shakespeare)Metaphors are words that connote meanings that go beyond their literal meanings. Shakespeare, in his Sonnet 18, says:“Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day …”Here, the phrase “a Summer’s Day” implies the fairness of his beloved. Example #2: The Sun Rising (By John Donne)Similarly, John Donne says in his poem The Sun Rising says:“She is all states, and all princes, I.”This line suggests the speaker ’s belief that he and his beloved are wealthier than all the states, kingdoms, and rulers in the whole world because of their love. Example #3: The Merchant of Venice (By William Shakespeare)Irony and satire exhibit connotative meanings, as the intended meanings of words are opposite to their literal meanings. For example, we see a sarcastic remark made by Antonio to Shylock, the Jew, in William Shakespeare’s play The Merchant of Venice:“Hie thee, gentle Jew. The Hebrew will turn Christian: he grows kind.”The word “Jew” generally had a negative connotation of wickedness, while “Christian” demonstrated positive connotations of kindness. Example #4: The Animal Farm (By George Orwell)George Orwell’s allegorical novel Animal Farm is packed with examples of connotation. The actions of the animals on the farm illustrate the greed and corruption that arose after the Communist Revolution of Russia. The pigs in the novel connote wicked and powerful people who can change the ideology of a society. In addition, Mr. Jones (the owner of the farm), represents the overthrown Tsar Nicholas II; and Boxer, the horse, represents the laborer class. Example #5: Julius Caesar (By William Shakespeare)Metonymy is another figure of speech that makes use of connotative or suggested meanings, as it describes a thing by mentioning something else with which it is closely connected. For example, Mark Anthony, in Act III of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, says:“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”Here, the word “ear” connotes the idea of people listening to him attentively. Example #6: Out, Out (By Robert Frost)Read the following lines from Robert Frost’s poem Out, Out:“As he swung toward them holding up the hand Half in appeal, but half as if to keep The life from spilling”In the line “The life from spilling,” the word “life” connotes “blood.” It does make sense as well because loss of blood may cause loss of life. Example #7: As you Like It (By William Shakespeare)Connotation provides the basis for symbolic meanings of words because symbolic meanings of objects are different from their literal sense. Look at the following lines from Shakespeare’s play As you Like It:“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts …”Here, a stage connotes the world; players suggests human beings; and parts implies different stages of their lives. Function of Connotation In literature, connotation paves way for creativity by using figures of speech like metaphor, simile, symbolism, and personification. Had writers contented themselves with only the literal meanings, there would have been no way to compare abstract ideas to concrete concepts, in order to give readers a better understanding. Therefore, connotative meanings of words allow writers to add to their works dimensions that are broader, more vivid, and fresher.
The numbers afterward are like a license plate. There's an FAA registry where you could look up owner information from a tail number. Normally control towers refer to planes by the portion that follows the N (so 220SG). Some controlers will further reduce that to the last few letters (if they're unique). They always use the phonetic alphabet, so that plane would be "two-two-zero-sierra-golf"

While all dogs are genetically very similar, natural selection and selective breeding have reinforced certain characteristics in certain populations of dogs, giving rise to dog types and dog breeds. Dog types are broad categories based on function, genetics, or characteristics. Dog breeds are groups of animals that possess a set of inherited characteristics that distinguishes them from other animals within the same species. Modern dog breeds are non-scientific classifications of dogs kept by modern kennel clubs.

There is a sizeable Greek minority of about 105,000 (disputed, sources claim higher) people, in Albania. The Greek minority of Turkey, which numbered upwards of 200,000 people after the 1923 exchange, has now dwindled to a few thousand, after the 1955 Constantinople Pogrom and other state sponsored violence and discrimination. This effectively ended, though not entirely, the three-thousand-year-old presence of Hellenism in Asia Minor. There are smaller Greek minorities in the rest of the Balkan countries, the Levant and the Black Sea states, remnants of the Old Greek Diaspora (pre-19th century).
Glucose is a monosaccharide, or a simple sugar, and starch is a polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate, composed of lots of glucose molecules stuck together.The body breaks down starch into glucose (via maltose, a disaccharide) fairly quickly with enzymes in the mouth and gut.t has 6 carbons and is an aldohexose. Sucrose is a dissaccharide. Meaning it is made up of two monosaccharide units. The â¦ se units are a cyclic Glucose and a cyclic Fructose. Cellulose and Starch are both polysaccharides.
Well, first off, people aren't voting for him. Sanders is getting crushed according to just about ever poll ever. _URL_1_ That said, he's generating a lot of hype on places like reddit because he appeals to the demographic. For all practical purposes, he's running on a socialist platform (note, I'm not saying that as an insult or anything, it's something he openly states). Here's a link to his talking points on major issues. _URL_0_ In brief, he wants higher minimum wages, stronger climate regulation, stricter weapon control, income redistribution, and higher taxes for the upper classes. He's against most free trade treaties, business tax breaks, and GMO food if I recall. The real TL;DR is that he's running pretty far to the left of Clinton.
Roanoke Colony The Roanoke Colony (/ˈroʊəˌnoʊk/), also known as the Lost Colony, was the first attempt at founding a permanent English settlement in North America. It was established in 1585 on Roanoke Island in what is today's Dare County, North Carolina. The colony was sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh, although he himself never set foot in it.
Price ceiling The neutrality of this article is disputed. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met. (February 2018) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Non-binding price ceiling Pricing, quantity, and welfare effects of a binding price ceiling A price ceiling is a government-imposed price control, or limit, on how high a price is charged for a product. Governments use price ceilings to protect consumers from conditions that could make commodities prohibitively expensive. Such conditions can occur during periods of high inflation, in the event of an investment bubble, or in the event of monopoly ownership of a product, all of which can cause problems if imposed for a long period without controlled rationing, leading to shortages. [1] Further problems can occur if a government sets unrealistic price ceilings, causing business failures, stock crashes, or even economic crises. In unregulated market economies, price ceilings do not exist. Contents1 Real-world examples1.1 Rent control in New York City1.2 Apartment price control in Finland1.3 The "Coulter law" in Australian rules football1.4 State Farm Insurance1.5 Venezuela2 Price ceilings that lead to higher prices3 See also4 References5 Further reading Real-world examples [ edit]Rent control in New York City [ edit]"Pay no more than Ceiling Prices", World War II US poster"New ceiling price lists are here", US Office of Price Administration, World War IIRent control is a price ceiling on rent. When soldiers returned from World War II and started families (which increased demand for apartments), but stopped receiving military pay, many could not deal with higher rents. The government put in price controls, so soldiers and their families could pay their rents and keep their homes. However, it increased the quantity demand for apartments and lowered the quantity supplied, meaning that available apartments rapidly decreased until none were available for late-comers. Price ceilings create shortages when producers are allowed to abdicate market share or go unsubsidized. [2]Apartment price control in Finland [ edit]According to professors Niko Määttänen and Ari Hyytinen, price ceilings on Helsinki City Hitas apartments are economically highly inefficient. They cause queuing, and discriminate against the handicapped, single parents, elderly, and others not able to queue for days. They cause inefficient allocation, as apartments are not bought by those willing to pay the most for them—and those who get an apartment are unwilling to leave it, even when their family or work situation changes since they can't sell it at what they feel the market price should be. These inefficiencies increase apartment shortage and raise the market price of other apartments. [3]The "Coulter law" in Australian rules football [ edit]Uniform wage ceilings were introduced in Australian rules football to address uneven competition. In the Victorian Football League (VFL) a declining competitive balance followed a 1925 expansion that had admitted Footscray, Hawthorn and North Melbourne. [4] [5] The effects on financially-weaker clubs were exacerbated in 1929 by the beginning of the Great Depression. From 1930, a ceiling system, formulated by VFL administrator George Coulter, stipulated that individual players were to be paid no more than A£ 3 (approximately A$ 243 in 2017) for a regular home-and-away match, that they must also be paid if they were injured, that they could be paid no more than A£12 (approx. A$975 in 2017) for a finals match, and that these wages could not be augmented with other bonuses or lump-sum payments. The "Coulter law", as it became known, remained a strictly binding price ceiling through its history. During its early years, the Coulter law adversely affected only a minority of players – such as stars and players at wealthier clubs. These individuals experienced, in effect, a drastic cut in wages. For instance, from 1931 the ceiling payment of £3 per game fell below the legal minimum award wage. [6] While, players at the more successful clubs of the day, such as Richmond had previously paid significantly higher average wages, clubs that were struggling financially often could not meet the ceiling under the Coulter law. Clubs with a long-standing amateur ethos became significantly more competitive under the Coulter law – such as Melbourne, which had long attracted and retained players by indirect or non-financial incentives (e.g. finding players employment not related to football). The Coulter law led to at least one VFL star of the 1930s, Ron Todd moving to the rival VFA, because he was dissatisfied with the maximum pay he could receive at Collingwood, [7]As a result of World War II, the wage for a regular game was halved (to £1/10 shillings) for the 1942–45 seasons. After the war, the ceilings were modified several times in line with inflation. During the 1950s, "Coulter law" was also blamed for shortening the careers of star players such as John Coleman and Brian Gleeson, because it prevented them and their clubs from paying for the private surgery that the players required to continue their careers. The Coulter law was abolished in 1968. However, in 1987 a club-level salary cap was introduced by the VFL and has been retained by its successor, the Australian Football League (AFL). State Farm Insurance [ edit]On February 4, 2009, a Wall Street Journal article stated, "Last month State Farm pulled the plug on its 1.2 million homeowner policies in Florida, citing the state's punishing price controls... State Farm's local subsidiary recently requested an increase of 47%, but state regulators refused. State Farm says that since 2000 it has paid $1.21 in claims and expenses for every $1 of premium income received." [8]Venezuela [ edit]On January 10, 2006, a BBC article reported that since 2003, Venezuela President Hugo Chávez had been setting price ceilings on food, and that these price ceilings had caused shortages and hoarding. [9] A January 22, 2008, article from Associated Press stated, "Venezuelan troops are cracking down on the smuggling of food... the National Guard has seized about 750 tons of food... Hugo Chavez ordered the military to keep people from smuggling scarce items like milk... He's also threatened to seize farms and milk plants..." [10] On February 28, 2009, Chávez ordered the military to temporarily seize control of all the rice processing plants in the country and force them to produce at full capacity, which he alleged they had been avoiding in response to the price caps. [11]On January 3, 2007, an International Herald Tribune article reported that Chávez's price ceilings were causing shortages of materials used in the construction industry. [12] According to an April 4, 2008, article from CBS News, Chávez ordered the nationalization of the cement industry in response to the industry exporting its products to receive higher prices outside the country. [13]Price ceilings that lead to higher prices [ edit]There is a substantial body of research showing that under some circumstances price ceilings can, paradoxically, lead to higher prices. The leading explanation is that price ceilings serve to coordinate collusion among suppliers who would otherwise compete on price. More precisely: Forming a cartel is profitable, because it enables nominally competing firms to act like a monopoly, limiting quantities and raising prices. But forming a cartel is difficult, because it is necessary to agree on quantities and prices, and because each firm will have an incentive to "cheat", that is, to sell more than agreed at by lowering prices. (Antitrust laws make collusion even more difficult because of legal sanctions.) Having a third party such as a regulator announce and enforce a maximum price level can make it easier for the firms to agree on a price and to monitor pricing. We can view the regulatory price as a focal point which is natural for both parties to charge. One research paper documenting this phenomenon is Knittel and Stangel, [14] which found that in the 1980s in the United States, in states that fixed an interest rate ceiling of 18 percent, firms charged a rate only slightly below the ceiling. But in states without an interest rate ceiling, interest rates were significantly lower. (The authors did not find any difference in costs which could explain the result.) Another example is Sen et al. [15] who found that gasoline prices were higher in states that instituted price ceilings. Another example is the Supreme Court of Pakistan decision regarding fixing a ceiling price for sugar at PKR45/kg. The result was sugar disappeared from the market due to a cartel of sugar producers and the failure of the Pakistani government to maintain supply even in the stores owned by the Government against the large demand of the sugar. The imported sugar required time to reach the country, and it was not feasible to sell at the rate fixed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Eventually, the government went for a review petition in the Supreme Court and sought the withdrawal of the earlier decision of the apex court. Eventually, fixation of ceiling price was withdrawn and the market equilibrium was achieved between PKR55-60/kg (Supreme Court of Pakistan decision, 2006–2007).

If hair on the head is not available, then body hair from other sites (such as the chest or underarm) may be used. As for how long marijuana or other drugs stay in hair, in theory, they may stay there for years, or even centuries after a person's death, according to a 2004 paper published in the journal Forensic Science International.

Nunavut From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Flag of Nunavut The territory of Nunavut is shown in red on a map of Canada Nunavut is a territory in Canada. It is the newest, largest, and northernmost territory of Canada. It was founded in 1999 when many Inuit living in the Northwest Territories wanted to have an independent province and government. Its capital is named Iqaluit. It is in the north of Canada, and has a particularly cold climate for much of the year. It has many native people (mainly Inuit). The main form of transportation is the snowmobile. For the first week of being a separate unit, it was the Province of Nunavut, but after a week it was renamed Nunavut Territory. A symbol of the territory is the Eskimo Dog ( qimmiq ). [1] Even today, some people still use these dogs.

A New York man is charged with manslaughter after he allegedly pushed his 71-year-old landlord, who was trying to collect rent, down a flight of stairs to his death. Edgar Moncayo, 71, and his wife are described as a gentle couple from Ecuador with three daughters and several grandchildren. (Source: Cristina Moncayo/WABC/CNN) The family of 71-year-old Edgar Moncayo says the landlord was simply trying to collect rent Sunday afternoon from 22-year-old tenant Alex Garces. The renter had reportedly missed at least a month’s payment, given his landlord problems and was threatening to leave without paying. Following a dispute over the unpaid rent, police say Garces pushed Edgar Moncayo down the front stairs of his building. The victim was found at the bottom of the staircase, unconscious and bleeding from the head. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead of a traumatic brain injury. "The guy pushed my dad so furiously that my dad flew from the front door to the concrete of the sidewalk,” said Cristina Moncayo, Edgar Moncayo’s daughter. In court Tuesday, it was revealed that Garces initially told police he was moving a mattress and accidentally knocked Edgar Moncayo down the stairs. But officers say Ring surveillance video, which they reviewed during the investigation, shows the victim was pushed. “We didn't expect this to ever happen. It's like a dream, you know, a nightmare," said Juan Jose Farfan, Edgar Moncayo’s grandson. Farfan says that before his death, his grandfather had tried to help Garces with the rent, reducing it from $400 to $200 per month. Edgar Moncayo lived with his wife in the basement of the New York City home and rented out the floors above. The two are described as a gentle couple from Ecuador with three daughters and several grandchildren. Family says he emigrated nearly 30 years ago and worked two jobs as a parking attendant, so he and his wife could buy their home and raise their family. Cristina Moncayo says they will donate her father’s organs, as he would have wished. Garces pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree manslaughter. Bail was set at $25,000 cash or $50,000 bond. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison. Copyright 2020 WABC, Ring, Cristina Moncayo via CNN. All rights reserved.

Crash [ edit]See also: Southern Airways Flight 932The November 14, 1970, plane crash that killed all 75 passengers on board, including 37 members of the Thundering Herd football team, is well documented. The event and its aftermath were depicted in the 2006 Warner Brothers motion picture, We Are Marshall, starring Matthew Mc Conaughey and Matthew Fox. Basketball [ edit]Main articles: Marshall Thundering Herd men's basketball and Marshall Thundering Herd women's basketball Marshall Thundering Herd men's basketball team is led by head coach Dan D'Antoni. The Marshall women's team has a new head coach for 2017-18, long-time Marshall and Central Arkansas assistant Tony Kemper, who replaces his boss of the last decade, Matt Daniel, at the helm of the program when Daniel and his family headed back to Arkansas for a business opportunity for his wife, Dr. Jennifer Daniel, a dentist. Baseball [ edit]Baseball at Marshall has long been handicapped by a lack of facilities, being the only sport at the university without a proper facility on or near campus. Coach Jeff Waggoner, however, now uses the George Smailes Field at the YMCA Kennedy Center for non-conference home games in Huntington, Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W. Va. (home of the Class A South Atlantic League West Virginia Power, a Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate) and plays 1-2 series a year at Linda K. Epling Stadium at Beckley, W. Va., hosting FIU of Conference USA there in April 21-23, 2017. Epling Stadium is the summer home of the W. Va. Miners, a summer college wooden bat Prospect League, where one of the assistants is former Marshall and San Diego Padres catcher Joe Goddard, recently inducted into the Marshall Athletic Hall of Fame. In the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft, Thundering Herd pitcher Aaron Blair, a 6' 5", 230 right-hander, became the highest player ever drafted out of Marshall when the Arizona Diamondbacks selected Blair with the 36th pick of the 1st round on June 6, 2013. . [2] The Thundering Herd team of 2016 won a school record 34 games against just 21 losses, and advanced to the semifinals of the C-USA Tournament, falling to eventual champion Southern Miss. Club sports [ edit]Marshall also fields club teams, not affiliated with the Athletic Department, in rugby union for both women and men, men's ice hockey, and a men's lacrosse team. Rivalries [ edit]See also: College rivalry § United States Marshall's biggest rivalries are out of conference with Ohio University, Miami University, East Carolina University, and Morehead State University. In Conference USA, Marshall has a budding rivalry with the Western Kentucky University, Middle Tennessee State University, Old Dominion University, and University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and ten-year rivalries with University of Southern Mississippi and University of Alabama at Birmingham. Facilities [ edit]Joan C. Edwards Stadium [ edit]Joan C. Edwards Stadium Marshall plays football at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, which seats 38,019. The stadium, which opened for the 1991 season as Marshall University Stadium with a then-record crowd of 33,116 for a 24–23 win over New Hampshire, hosted a record crowd of 41,382 on September 10, 2010, when the Thundering Herd played the in-state rival West Virginia Mountaineers. On a facade on the stadium's west side is a bronze memorial dedicated to the 1970 plane-crash victims. In 2003, Marshall renamed its stadium, honoring a major donor, Joan C. Edwards to the university and its athletic program. The facility became the first football stadium in Division I-A to be named after a woman; Mrs. Edwards husband, James F. Edwards, has his name on the actual playing field. Also in 2003, Marshall University, under much scrutiny, disbanded its men's track & field program, expressing financial concerns with the school's 2005 move from MAC to Conference USA. Since that time it has been demonstrated that men's track paid for itself due to the students paying for the majority of their schooling. In May 2007, the track on campus was closed to make way for the new recreation center, and since that time the women's track and field team has trained and competed without a track of its own until the new indoor track was opened in the Chris Cline Athletic Center in 2014. [3]Cam Henderson Center [ edit]The Cam Henderson Center Both men's and women's basketball are played at the 9,048-seat Cam Henderson Center, named for the innovative coach who guided the school's basketball team from 1935 to 1955 and football from 1935–49. Henderson won 358 games against just 158 losses as a basketball coach. Henderson's 1946-47 team finished that season with a school-record 32-5 mark and captured the 1947 NAIB (today's NAIA) National Championship in Kansas City, Kansas. In football, he coached the Herd to the Buckeye Conference title in 1937 and then to the second-ever Tangerine Bowl on Jan. 1, 1948, falling to Catawba College 7–0. Henderson won 68 games as a football coach. Current Marshall coach, and former Herd point guard, Danny D'Antoni, led the current Marshall men's team to a 20-15 mark in his third season and a runner-up finish in the Conference USA Basketball Championships in Birmingham, Ala. in March, after finishing 17-16 during the 2015-16 season and making the semifinals of the tournament. The women's team, which advanced to the WBI two years ago (upsetting No. 1 seeded Northern Kentucky) and to the WNIT last year, has a new coach. Matt Daniel's long-time assistant Tony Kemper, at both Marshall for five years and prior to that for five years at Central Arkansas, will be the new head coach for 2017-18, as Daniel and his family moved back to Arkansas thanks to a new dental practice opportunity for Daniel's wife, Dr. Jennifer Daniel.2012 expansion project [ edit]In 2012 MU announced a multi-step expansion project, contingent on fundraising. MU accepted ownership of the Veterans Memorial Fieldhouse located five blocks from campus. The facility was demolished and replaced by the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex, a soccer specific stadium which opened in August 2013. MU's former soccer facility next to Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Sam Hood Field, was replaced by the Chris Cline Athletic Complex, a $25 million indoor football practice facility, indoor track, and physical therapy research center, Marshall Sports Medicine Institute, a facility for both student-athletes and anyone from inside or outside of MU who needs help with sports medicine or work related rehab or training. It opened in September 2014 and is the new home for the Marshall University Athletic Hall of Fame. MU legends Chad Pennington, a former NFL quarterback with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, and the current head coach of the Houston Rockets of the NBA, Mike D'Antoni headed up fund raising for the effort for Marshall Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick.

Assyrian people , or Syriacs -LRB- see names of Syriac Christians -RRB- , are an ethnic group indigenous to the Middle East . Some of them self-identify as Chaldeans , or as Arameans . They speak modern Aramaic , whose subdivisions include Northeastern , Central , and Western Neo-Aramaic , as well as another language , dependent on the country of residence . The Assyrians are typically Syriac-speaking Christians who claim descent from Assyria , one of the oldest civilizations in the world , dating back to 2500 BC in ancient Mesopotamia . The areas that form the Assyrian homeland are parts of present-day northern Iraq , southeastern Turkey , northwestern Iran and northeastern Syria . The majority have migrated to other regions of the world , including North America , the Levant , Australia , Europe , Russia and the Caucasus during the past century or so . Emigration was triggered by such events as the Assyrian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire during World War I , the Simele Massacre in Iraq in 1933 , the Iranian Revolution of 1979 , Arab Nationalist Ba'athist policies in Iraq and Syria such as the al-Anfal campaign of Saddam Hussein , and the rise of ISIS and its takeover of most of the Nineveh Plains . Assyrians are predominantly Christian , mostly adhering to the East and West Syrian liturgical rites of Christianity . The churches that constitute the East Syrian rite include the Assyrian Church of the East , Ancient Church of the East , and Chaldean Catholic Church , whose followers mostly speak the Northeastern branch of East Aramaic . Whereas the churches of the West Syrian rite , the Syriac Orthodox Church and Syriac Catholic Church , mostly speak the Central and Western branches . Most recently , the 2003 Iraq War and the Syrian Civil War which began in 2011 have displaced the regional Assyrian community , because its people have faced ethnic and religious persecution at the hands of Islamic extremists . Of the one million or more Iraqis reported by the United Nations to have fled Iraq since the occupation , nearly 40 % were Assyrians even though Assyrians comprised only around 3 % of the pre-war Iraqi demography . According to a 2013 report by a Chaldean Syriac Assyrian Popular Council official , it is estimated that only 300,000 Assyrians remain in Iraq . Due to the Syrian Civil War , however , many Iraqis , including Assyrians , have fled back into Iraq , specifically to northern Iraq and the part of the country controlled by the Iraqi government , with ISIS still in control of much of the Assyrian homeland .

President of the Senate While vice presidents used to regularly preside over the Senate, modern vice presidents have done so only rarely, usually only when swearing in new senators, during joint sessions, announcing the result of a vote on a significant bill or confirmation, or when casting a tie-breaking vote. The Senate chooses a president pro tempore to preside in the vice president's absence. Modern presidents pro tempore, too, rarely preside over the Senate. In practice, the junior senators of the majority party typically preside in order to learn Senate procedure.
I know that the US gives Colombia a lot of money to shut down cartels before they become powerful...and they are pushed out of major cities and into the jungle. Its kind of like a win win. They get major cities back for tourism and the production of drugs is out of sight out of mind in the jungle somewhere. Also a lot of cartels moved to neighboring countries...ie Peru..

Time for biochemistry. Throughout the day, your body produces a chemical called adenosine. Adenosine is the chemical in the body which makes you tired, and at the evening, the levels of adenosine make you very sleepy by being absorbed into adenosine receptors. The adenosine is then recycled through the body as you sleep. What caffeine does is it blocks these adenosine receptors. With the receptors blocked, the adenosine can no longer interact with the receptors, thus it causes you to become awake and alert. However, drinking too much coffee throughout the day is bad. The body continues producing adenosine throughout the day, and caffeine does not allow the level of adenosine to lower as well, since it cannot be absorbed. Once the caffeine is flushed out, all that built up adenosine may cause a crash, it will flood the receptors. This causes fatigue which many call a "crash."

Rerun van Pelt \| Peanuts Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] History Rerun was born on May 23, 1972 , in the middle of a storyline that involved Lucy kicking Linus out of the house. Lucy learns she has a youngest brother in the strip from May 23, 1972. Rerun is named in the strip from May 31, 1972. Rerun's first appearance in the strip from March 26, 1973. When Lucy compared having a second brother to television reruns, Linus thought "Rerun" would be a perfect name for the baby (or possibly nickname; his name is shown in quotation marks in some strips, but the first panel of the September 11, 1996 strip suggests that he does not know any other name for himself). Rerun's first actual appearance was on March 26, 1973 . He joined Charlie Brown's baseball team on March 29, 1973. A few weeks later, the team won their first ever game, only to forfeit the game in a gambling scandal. It was revealed on April 19, 1973 that Rerun had bet on the game with Snoopy . At first, Rerun was only a minor character, appearing mostly on the back of his mother's bicycle, terrified. By the early 1980s, Schulz said he had "run out of ideas" on how to use Rerun. In a documentary, Sibling Rivalry: Growing Up Van Pelt, Schulz's widow recalled that he even admitted that, at that time, he regretted creating Rerun because he could not think of any further way to use the character, and yet he could not eliminate him altogether, as his siblings were main characters. Snoopy and some of his bird friends indulge in a French Foreign Legion fantasy in Rerun van Pelt's sandbox. Rerun's appearances became rare. On occasion, he was simply shown sitting in the background, silently observing other characters. In one strip, he sits silently as Lucy declares that nothing that happened that day was her fault, then lifts his baby bottle to declare, "I'll drink to that." In another strip, he sits silently in his sandbox as Snoopy and his bird friends , acting out their French Foreign Legion fantasy, march past. In one ongoing storyline from March, 1992, there is no mention of Rerun at all when Snoopy stays with Linus and Lucy while Charlie Brown 's family goes away on a trip. Infant Rerun appeared in several strips in November of 1992 , again riding on the back of his mother's bike, and unsuccessfully being taught by Lucy to count fingers. Starting in 1993, he started appearing more frequently, having grown beyond infancy, and as Schulz said, Rerun "took over" the comic by the mid-1990s. Initially, toddler Rerun was shown playing cards with an equally confused Snoopy, and learning to tie his shoes from Lucy. By 1996, Rerun had aged to 5 years old and reluctantly entered kindergarten, so he was still younger than the other characters in the Peanuts gang . Schulz's widow speculated that Rerun's new-found prominence was likely due to the emergence of grandchildren in Schulz's life. A running gag featuring Rerun has him being too scared to go to kindergarten on some days, so he hid Rerun and Snoopy es under his bed. Lucy tries to get him to move, but Rerun rarely does. Another running gag is that Rerun wants a pet dog. He frequently borrows Snoopy from Charlie Brown. In one storyline, starting May 16, 1996, Rerun convinces Snoopy to invite Spike to move in to the van Pelt house as a pet. Rerun changes his mind when he sees how skinny Spike is. In strips from the final years of Peanuts, Rerun is often shown drawing "underground comics" at school against his teacher's instructions to draw pictures of flowers. Other characters often inform Rerun that his drawings do not resemble his intended subjects. At other times, Rerun tries to sell his drawings, including ones of Snoopy, door to door. In Sibling Rivalry: Growing Up Van Pelt, it is suggested that Schulz's story lines about Rerun's cartoonist aspirations were autobiographical. Schulz sometimes used Rerun as a successor to Linus in revisiting old storylines. In a 1973 strip, Lucy ruined Linus' first viewing of the movie Citizen Kane by revealing that "Rosebud" was the title character's sled, greatly upsetting Linus. A
An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system.Anticholinergics inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells.hen a significant amount of an anticholinergic is taken into the body, a toxic reaction known as acute anticholinergic syndrome may result. This may happen accidentally or intentionally as a consequence of recreational drug use.
The 12-hour clock is a time convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods : a.m. -LRB- from the Latin , ante meridiem , meaning before midday -RRB- and p.m. -LRB- post meridiem , meaning past midday -RRB- . Each period consists of 12 hours numbered : 12 -LRB- acting as zero -RRB- , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , and 11 . The 24 hour/day cycle starts at 12 midnight -LRB- often indicated as 12 a.m. -RRB- , runs through 12 noon -LRB- often indicated as 12 p.m. -RRB- , and continues to the midnight at the end of the day . The 12-hour clock was developed over time from the mid-second millennium BC to the 16th century AD .
Call Me by Your Name (film) It is the summer of 1983. Elio, a 17-year-old Jewish-American youth, lives with his parents in rural Northern Italy. Elio's father, a professor of archaeology, invites a 24-year-old Jewish-American graduate student, Oliver, to live with the family over the summer and help with his academic paperwork. Elio, an introspective bibliophile and a talented musician, initially finds little in common with Oliver, who has a contrastingly carefree and exuberant personality. Elio resents having to give up his bedroom for Oliver for the duration of his stay. Elio spends much of the summer reading, playing piano, and hanging out with his girlfriend, Marzia. Meanwhile, Oliver expresses attraction for one of the local girls, much to Elio's annoyance.
Another popular argument for affirmative action is the compensation argument. Blacks were mistreated in the past for a morally irrelevant characteristic of being black so society today should compensate for the injuries. This causes reverse discrimination in the form of preferential hirings, contracts, and scholarships as a means to ameliorate past wrongs. Many opponents argue that this form of reparation is morally indefensible because if blacks were harmed for being black in the past, then preferential treatment for this same trait is illogical. In addition, arguments are made that whites today who innocently benefited from past injustices should not be punished for something they had no control over. Therefore, they are being reverse discriminated against because they are receiving the punishment that should be given to people who willingly and knowingly benefited from discriminatory practices
Haydn - Symphony No. 101 (The Clock) - Classic FM Become a VIP Haydn - Symphony No. 101 (The Clock) Composed around 1793/4 especially for a trip to London, Joseph Haydn 's Symphony No. 101 has a reason for its quirky nickname… Listen to the bassoons and the strings in the second movement of Haydn 's Symphony No. 101, nicknamed 'The Clock', and you'll hear something quite striking. That incessant rhythmic pulse sounds so much like a timepiece going round and round it was given the perfect moniker. Aside from its rather fetching title, 'The Clock' is one of 12 symphonies written by Haydn that were inspired by his times in London. Every inch the anglophile, Haydn loved visiting the capital - perhaps unsurprisingly, Londoners loved his London symphonies too. Most of them were met with blanket praise, and 'The Clock' was no different. Even today it's one of the most performed of Haydn's symphonies in the modern concert hall. So, next time you're wandering past Big Ben, just think of those delicate little bassoon and string parts… you just might be able to get a feel for 'The Clock' as you walk through Haydn's London.
Bad credit score: 500 to 579. If your credit falls somewhere in this credit score range, financing terms will cost you big-time. For long-term loans, such as a 30-year mortgage, expect to see interest rates that are at least three percent higher than interest rates awarded to borrowers with good credit.
Survivor Series (1993) The event consisted of four tag-team elimination matches and a bout for the Smoky Mountain Wrestling Tag Team Championship. The main event match saw the All-Americans, a team of face wrestlers from the United States, competing against the Foreign Fanatics, a team of heels that represented other countries. The All-Americans won the match when Lex Luger was the last man remaining. In an undercard match, four members of the Hart family competed against Shawn Michaels and a group of masked men. The original plan was for the Harts to face Jerry Lawler, with whom they were feuding, but Lawler was not able to appear at the event having been fired after being indicted for raping a 13 year old girl. The Harts won the match, but a confrontation between Bret Hart and Owen Hart after the match led to Owen turning against the family the following year.
Toba Tek Singh (short story) The story is set two or three years after the 1947 independence, when the governments of India and Pakistan decided to exchange some Muslim, Sikh and Hindu lunatics, and revolves around Bishan Singh, a Sikh inmate of an asylum in Lahore, who is from the town of Toba Tek Singh. As part of the exchange, Bishan Singh is sent under police escort to India, but upon being told that his hometown Toba Tek Singh is in Pakistan, he refuses to go. The story ends with Bishan lying down in the no man's land between the two barbed wire fences: "There, behind barbed wire, was Hindustan. Here, behind the same kind of barbed wire, was Pakistan. In between, on that piece of ground that had no name, lay Toba Tek Singh."[2]
Growing Seedless Watermelons. If youâve enjoyed a delicious seedless watermelon, you might wonder how they are grown. It starts by treating watermelon seedlings with a chemical that makes the plant have 4 times (4X) their normal number of chromosomes. After planting, when this watermelon flowers, it receives pollen from a nearby normal (2X) watermelon. The result is a fruit that has seeds that are 3X .

Many major battles of the American Civil War were fought in Tennessee—most of them Union victories. Ulysses S. Grant and the U.S. Navy captured control of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers in February 1862. They held off the Confederate counterattack at Shiloh in April. Memphis fell to the Union in June, following a naval battle on the Mississippi River in front of the city. The Capture of Memphis and Nashville gave the Union control of the western and middle sections; this control was confirmed at the Battle of Murfreesboro in early January 1863 and by the subsequent Tullahoma Campaign.
Poverty in India The World Bank has been revising its definition and benchmarks to measure up poverty since 1990, with a $2 per day income on purchasing power parity basis as the definition in use from 2005 to 2013.[7] Some semi-economic and non-economic indices have also been proposed to measure poverty in India; for example, the Multi-dimensional Poverty Index placed 33% weight on number of years spent in school and education and 6.25% weight on financial condition of a person, in order to determine if that a person is poor.[8]

Maximilian was deeply dissatisfied with General Bazaine's decision to abandon the state capital of Chihuahua and immediately ordered Agustín B. Billaut to recapture the city. On December 11, 1865, Billaut with a force of 500 men took control of the city. By January 31, 1866 Billaut was ordered to leave Chihuahua, but he left behind 500 men to maintain control. At the zenith of their power, the imperialist forces controlled all but four states in Mexico; the only states to maintain strong opposition to the French were: Guerrero, Chihuahua, Sonora, and Baja California.
Human embryogenesis Human embryogenesis is the process of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo that occurs during the early stages of development. In biological terms, human development entails growth from a one-celled zygote to an adult human being. Fertilisation occurs when the sperm cell successfully enters and fuses with an egg cell (ovum). The genetic material of the sperm and egg then combine to form a single cell called a zygote and the germinal stage of prenatal development commences.[1] Embryogenesis covers the first eight weeks of development; at the beginning of the ninth week the embryo is termed a fetus. Human embryology is the study of this development during the first eight weeks after fertilisation. The normal period of gestation (pregnancy) is nine months or 38 weeks.

Protein is one of the primary nutrients your body uses to build cellular structures. In this lesson, you will learn how protein is broken down into amino acids within your digestive tract and how amino acids are absorbed out of the intestines and into the hepatic portal system. Protein Proteins are important nutrients that your body uses to build cellular structures that carry out vital functions. In fact, the basic building blocks of proteins are so important to your cells that if you did not consume protein, it would be like trying to build a house without tools or nails. In this lesson, you will learn how proteins are broken down into their basic units, called amino acids. You will then see how amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine wall and used by your body to build cellular structures and components. When we talk about digestion, we look at protein as a large molecule composed of one or more chains of amino acids. Proteins are large molecules made up of one or more chains of amino acids. Amino Acids When you feel hungry, you typically think of protein as a food, such as eggs, milk, meat, nuts, or beans. Regardless of which way you want to look at protein, one fact remains, and that is that amino acids are the basic building blocks of protein. The term 'building block' is a good way to describe amino acids because they are literally used by your body for building biological substances. In fact, many of these biological substances are actually specialized proteins. So, you might eat an egg for breakfast, and once you swallow it, enzymes break down the protein in the egg into amino acids. Then, those free amino acids recombine in different ways to form specialized proteins. These specialized proteins become different things, such as enzymes, or antibodies, or hormones. Or, they might become structural proteins, such as muscle proteins or collagen found in connective tissue. Protein Digestion It's good to keep in mind that protein digestion is not as simple as eating an egg and magically getting amino acids. A large protein molecule breaks down via a few intermediate steps, in the stomach and in the small intestine, before it becomes the tiny amino acids. So, let's take a look at how proteins are broken down by your digestive system. Protein digestion begins in the stomach with the action of an enzyme that we previously learned about called pepsin. Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach. When pepsin acts on the protein molecule, it breaks the bonds that hold the protein molecule together, called peptide bonds. So, you can think of pepsin as the enzyme that breaks peptide bonds. When these bonds are broken, you get chains of amino acids linked together called polypeptides. Since we know that the prefix 'poly' means 'many,' we can easily recall that a polypeptide is many amino acid units joined together. These polypeptides then move into your small intestine, where digestion will be completed by additional enzymes. Pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach that breaks down the peptide bonds in protein. In the small intestine, pancreatic enzymes that we previously learned about, called trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase, really go to work breaking down the polypeptides. These enzymes enter the duodenum via the pancreatic duct. These pancreatic enzymes are helped by the brush border enzymes. We previously learned that the brush border enzymes are special enzymes found on the microvilli of the small intestine that complete digestion. The peptide bonds holding the polypeptides together continue to be hydrolyzed, or broken down, and result in smaller units called peptides. Peptides are simply defined as two or more amino acids linked together. Enzymes continue to break down polypeptides and peptides into amino acids. Because amino acids are very small, they are able to be absorbed through the small intestine lining and into your bloodstream. Hepatic Portal System It's important to note that digested nutrients that leave the digestive tract take a detour to the liver before entering the general bloodstream. Your liver is an important organ, and this detour allows your liver to have first claim at nutrients coming from the digestive tract. It's almost like the liver is king and it gets first dibs at the good nutrients; then, when it takes its fill, the rest of the body has the leftovers.

New Delhi (Sputnik): The Indian government’s avowed objective in appointing the country’s first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) was to ensure optimum utilisation of defence resources through the integration of tri-service operations and establishment of joint or theatre-specific commands. The country’s first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat assumed formal charge of his post on Wednesday and committed to promoting synergy between the Army, Air Force, and Navy, besides ensuring better management of defence resources. Addressing the media after receiving a guard of honour outside the Defence Ministry, General Rawat refuted allegations of being politically inclined, but added that the armed forces work according to the directions of the government in power. “We stay far away from politics, very far. We have to work according to the directions of the government in power", news agency ANI quoted General Rawat as saying. Chief of Defence Staff(CDS) General Bipin Rawat on allegations that he is politically inclined: We stay far away from politics, very far. We have to work according to the directions of the Government in power pic.twitter.com/CYQnp3C9o6 — ANI (@ANI) January 1, 2020 General Rawat, it may be recalled, had drawn criticism when as the country’s army chief he indirectly took a public stand against the ongoing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) passed by the Indian Parliament last month. "Leadership is all about leading. When you move forward, everybody follows...But leaders are those who lead people in the right direction. Leaders are not those who lead people in inappropriate directions, as we are witnessing in a large number of university and college students, the way they are leading masses of crowds to carry out arson and violence in our cities and towns. This is not leadership", General Rawat said at an event on 27 December, four days before ending his tenure as India’s 27th army chief. Opposition politicians criticised him for that statement, with the Indian National Congress party saying that General Rawat’s decision to speak against the CAA protests was both a violation of the Indian Constitution as well as Article 21 of the Army Act ("no person subject to the Act shall publish in any form whatever or communicate directly or indirectly to the press any matter in relation to a political question''). The Communist Party of India (Marxist) even sought an apology from General Rawat for his “indiscretion". In a statement, the party said: “The Polit Bureau urges that the General apologises to the nation for his indiscretion which has extremely adverse ramifications for the Constitutional arrangement in the country. We also demand that the government takes note of such a breach and censures the General". The army and some others supporting General Rawat said he was well within his rights to speak as a citizen of the country. On Wednesday, however, moving forward, General Rawat said: “All the three services will work as a team. As per the task given to the Chief of Defence Staff we have to enhance integration and do better resource management".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated General Rawat on his assumption of the office of India's first CDS, describing him as an outstanding officer. He also paid tribute to the country's martyred soldiers. I am delighted that as we begin the new year and new decade, India gets its first Chief of Defence Staff in General Bipin Rawat.

1099-C surprise: Canceled debt often taxable as income Credit Cards · Credit Card News · 1099-C surprise: Canceled debt often taxable as income1099-C surprise: Canceled debt often taxable as income For many consumers, after the collector leaves their lives, the taxman arrives By Fred O. Williams \| Updated: February 28, 2018If you thought your money woes ended last year when you settled that credit card debt, think again. For many consumers with debt problems, after the debt collector leaves their lives, the taxman arrives. Months after successfully resolving credit card debts, consumers may receive 1099-C “Cancellation of Debt” tax notices in the mail. Why? The IRS considers forgiven or canceled debt as income. Creditors and debt collectors that agree to accept at least $600 less than the original balance are required by law to file 1099-C forms with the IRS and to send debtors notices as well. The more than 4 million taxpayers a year who receive the forms must report that portion of forgiven debt as “income” on their federal income tax returns.1099-C tax surprise If a debt is forgiven or canceled, the IRS requires lenders to issue a 1099-C tax form to the borrower to show the amount of debt not paid. The IRS then requires the borrower to report that amount on a tax return as income, and it’s often an unpleasant surprise:6 exceptions to paying tax on forgiven debt1099-C: Frequently asked questions“A lot of people don’t realize they have any tax issues at all when they are going through this,” says Alison Flores, principal tax research analyst at H&R Block. “They say ‘I’m really poor, I’m broke and I can’t pay my bills. How can you consider this income?’”It is, according to the Internal Revenue Code. For example, a person with $10,000 in credit card debt who negotiates to pay only $6,000 of the balance would have $4,000 in forgiven debt income. That $4,000 must be reported as “other income” on Line 21 of the 1040 tax form. Depending on the amount of debt forgiven, the taxpayer’s income level, deductions and other factors, the consumer could face a sizable tax bill come mid-April. Source: IRS Office of Research Publication 6961, 2017 Update The number of debt cancellation forms sent to taxpayers – and the Internal Revenue Service – shot up after the recession. It fell for the first time in 2016. The IRS estimates 4.0 million 1099-C forms will be filed covering the 2017 tax year, and 4.3 million for 2018. The agency predicts filings will hit 6.3 million in 2025. Surprise tax problem The problem: Many consumers have no clue what 1099-C forms are, and some may trash cancellation of debt notices because the forms are sent by the same debt collectors with whom they thought they no longer had business. Still others are not filing the 1099-Cs with their federal income tax returns – putting taxpayers at risk for IRS audits, penalties and fines. Consumer credit counselors and tax attorneys say few consumers are aware of the tax implications of settling to pay a lesser amount than they owe in credit card debt. "In some cases it is the IRS that alerts people to the fact that they owe taxes on settled debt ... a very unpleasant surprise. "“In some cases it is the IRS that alerts people to the fact that they owe taxes on settled debt, but past the point where it would have been paid on time,” said Bruce Mc Clary, spokesman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, a nationwide group of nonprofit credit counseling agencies. “A very unpleasant surprise for those who are unaware of or don’t receive their copy of the 1099-C.”Negotiating with creditors, debt collectors and debt buyers to pay a fraction of the amount owed is a common practice in the industry, often accomplished through third-party agents such as consumer credit counselors or debt settlement specialists.“Debt buyers are willing to negotiate a discount, sometimes, depending on a person’s circumstances, at a very significant discount off the entire balance, to settle the debt,” says Donald Maurice, a partner at the Maurice Wutscher law firm in New Jersey who represents debt buyers. Not all forgiven debt taxable Consumers who receive the 1099-C cancellation of debt forms should take them to a tax preparer or tax adviser, unless they feel comfortable handling the arcane tax rules and forms on their own.“Make sure your tax preparer understands the rules related to these type of activities,” says Mark Steber, chief tax officer for Jackson Hewitt. “Ask to talk to an office manager. Tell them ‘I need to see someone who understands this type of situation.’”Taxpayers may qualify for one of several exclusions that allow them to reduce taxable income from canceled debts. If the exclusions apply, they must file an IRS Form 982 in addition to the 1099-C. The 6 exceptions to paying tax on forgiven debt include debts discharged during bankruptcy and debts of consumers who are insolvent (meaning their liabilities exceed their assets) before the cancellation of debt. However, the exclusion applies only up to the amount by which consumers are insolvent. That means if $5,000 in debts were forgiven and liabilities exceeded assets by $2,000, then the $2,000 would not be counted as taxable income. “The remaining $3,000 would be reported under other income,” says H&R Block’s Flores. Debt resolution tax tips Consult a tax adviser before finalizing a debt settlement, and ask for a tax preparer who is knowledgeable about 1099-Cs. Clarify with the creditor or debt collector the exact amount that will be declared on the 1099-C form. Be aware that the 1099-C is coming. Don’t throw it away. Take it to your tax preparer. If there is a dispute about the amount reported on the form, contact the creditor or debt collector immediately to resolve the matter. Ask for a corrected 1099-C form. New for the 2017 tax year Congress has scrambled to extend a tax break for homeowners who were hit by foreclosure or short sale in 2017. Under the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, mortgage debt that was forgiven for struggling homeowners was excluded from taxes. The law expired at the end of 2016, but was extended through tax year 2017 on Feb. 9 – after tax filing season began. The extension, section 40201 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, allows you to exclude mortgage debt that was discharged after Dec. 31, 2016. If you already filed your federal return for 2017, it will be necessary to file an amended return to take advantage of the break, Flores said. This may be the last year that the break for home debt is available. “Given that Congress has rejected prior attempts to make the exclusion permanent, the likelihood of future extensions is doubtful,” the National Consumer Law Center staff attorney Geoff Walsh wrote in an analysis. Also for 2017 taxes, the sweeping U. S. tax overhaul enacted at the end of the year provides a break for student loan debt that is erased because of death or disability. Under the plan, the amount forgiven will no longer be subject to taxes. This element of the tax law is set to expire in 2025. Fewer 1099-C forms should be issued for debts merely because they have gone 36 months without a repayment, reducing a big headache for taxpayers. The IRS in November 2016 published a bulletin canceling a previous rule that required creditors to issue 1099-C forms for debts that had gone without a payment for 36 months. The rule was intended to account for debts that would likely never be repaid. But it resulted in taxes for debts that had not been forgiven at all, and were later the subject of debt collection action. The 36-month reporting requirement had been cited as a major source of problems for taxpayers by the Taxpayer Advocate Service in its annual report to Congress. The requirement made it possible for creditors to issue a 1099-C form while continuing to collect a debt, or after selling it to debt buyers. “Creditors may threaten to ‘sic the U. S. government’ on a debtor by issuing a Form 1099-C as a means of pressuring a debtor to pay,” the advocate’s report said. Taxpayers who do receive a 1099-C form for a debt that has not been canceled as far as they know should contact the creditor for clarification. If the debt has not in fact been canceled, the creditor should rescind the 1099-C. If the creditor does not rescind the form, it will be necessary to use the IRS dispute process to show that the debt has not been canceled. "There is no current law that says that a debt buyer must disclose that a 1099-C would be forthcoming after the settlement of debt. "Informing consumers of debt settlement's tax ramifications Much of the surprise element of the 1099-C cancellation of debt forms could be eliminated, say tax preparers, if all creditors and debt buyers routinely informed consumers that there could be tax ramifications when they settle debts for discounted amounts. Says Maurice, the debt buyers' attorney, “There is no current law that says that a debt buyer must disclose that a 1099-C would be forthcoming after the settlement of debt.”The Taxpayer Advocate Service has cited confusion and inadequate communication about 1099-Cs in its annual report to Congress. The taxpayer advocate’s office has published You Tube videos in an effort to demystify the 982 tax form needed to claim an exemption from taxes on forgiven debt. The bottom line on 1099-Cs is to be prepared for them. Don’t delay getting help from an expert if you need help determining whether you qualify for one of the exemptions. Ignoring the form can have dollars-and-cents consequences. Steber, from Jackson Hewitt, warns that the IRS is more advanced at tracking taxpayers’ income. “There is an increased likelihood that if you had one of these events that the IRS knows about it,” he says. “The IRS tracks it back. The IRS is quick to catch up with the person who, for whatever reason, left that [1099-C] off of their return.”Taxpayers who might have moved and didn’t receive their 1099-C notices in the mail from creditors can’t count on ignorance as a defense: “They will catch up with you,” Steber says.

Brighton Rock - Graham Greene - Book Drum Brighton Rock Graham Greene - Credit: Forgács Máté "A stranger with no shortage of calling cards: devout Catholic, lifelong adulterer, pulpy hack, canonical novelist; self-destructive, meticulously disciplined, deliriously romantic, bitterly cynical; moral relativist, strict theologian, salon communist, closet monarchist; civilized to a stuffy fault and louche to drugged-out distraction, anti-imperialist crusader and postcolonial parasite, self-excoriating and self-aggrandizing, to name just a few." Thus wrote Michelle Orange on the strange, multi-faceted nature of English-born author Graham Greene, who created such 20th century literary classics as The Quiet American, Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter and The Power and the Glory. Henry Grahame Greene (1904 - 1991), the fourth of six children born to first cousins Charles Henry and Marion Raymond Greene, grew up in Hertfordshire and attended Berkhamstead School , where his father was headmaster. Singled out as a 'softy' by his fellow pupils, and revolted at being forced to live in such close proximity to other boys, he found boarding school incredibly difficult. In his distress he made several suicide attempts, using whatever he had to hand, such as deadly nightshade or hayfever medication. He was finally allowed to become a day pupil after spending six months in psychoanalysis. After leaving school, Greene attended Balliol College, Oxford , where he studied history. Greene once described his student years as 'drunk and debt-ridden', yet his first volume of poetry, Babbling April, was published then, and he became a prolific contributor to the student magazine. He was also, albeit briefly, a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain , and in 1933 he held true to his early left-wing principles and joined the Independent Labour Party . Graduating from Oxford in 1925 with a second-class degree, he began working as a journalist in Nottingham, before moving on to become sub-editor of The Times. Raised in the Church of England, Greene converted to Catholicism in 1926 after meeting Vivien Dayrell-Browning . They were married in 1927, although Greene proved to be a self-confessed 'bad husband and fickle lover'. Their first child, Lucy, was born in 1933, followed by Francis in 1936. In 1947, Greene left Vivienne for Catherine Walston, but the couple were never divorced. In 1929, Greene published his first novel, The Man Within. Its success encouraged his decision to leave The Times and become a full time fiction writer. However his next two books, The Name of Action (1930) and Rumour at Nightfall (1932), proved unpopular, and it was only the publication of Stamboul Train in 1932 (adapted for screen in 1934 as Orient Express) that finally secured his writing career. He supplemented his income during this period of uncertainty by working as a critic for The Spectator. He began to separate his work into two distinct categories: 'entertainments' and 'novels'. His last ‘entertainment’, published in 1958, was Our Man in Havana. In total he wrote 28 novels , including Brighton Rock (1938), The End of The Affair (1951) and The Quiet American (1955). The Third Man (1949) was a novella which became a screenplay, memorably filmed in Vienna with Orson Welles stealing the show. Almost all of Greene's novels were made into films or television programmes. He also wrote four collections of short stories, several screenplays and a number of plays. Greene was an avid traveller, ever on the hunt for fresh inspiration. He was particularly fascinated with countries that were experiencing conflict – 'the worlds’ wildest, remotest places' – such as Kenya, Cuba, Poland and Vietnam. A 400-mile trek through the jungle of Liberia in 1935 gave him the material for Journey Without Maps (1936). Witnessing Mexico's religious purges in 1938 resulted in Lawless Roads (1939) and The Power and The Glory (1940). As a result of these experiences he was recruited by MI6, and during World War II he was posted to Sierra Leone where he worked for the Ministry of Info
George Washington -LRB- -LSB- ˈdʒɔɹdʒ_ˈwɒʃɪŋtən -RSB- -- , 1799 -RRB- was an American politician and soldier who served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797 and was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States . He served as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War , and later presided over the 1787 convention that drafted the United States Constitution . He is popularly considered the driving force behind the nation 's establishment and came to be known as the `` father of the country , '' both during his lifetime and to this day . Washington was widely admired for his strong leadership qualities and was unanimously elected president by the Electoral College in the first two national elections . He oversaw the creation of a strong , well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the French Revolutionary Wars , suppressed the Whiskey Rebellion , and won acceptance among Americans of all types . Washington 's incumbency established many precedents still in use today , such as the cabinet system , the inaugural address , and the title Mr. President . His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term . The 22nd Amendment -LRB- 1951 -RRB- now limits the president to two elected terms . He was born into the provincial gentry of Colonial Virginia to a family of wealthy planters who owned tobacco plantations and slaves , which he inherited . In his youth , he became a senior officer in the colonial militia during the first stages of the French and Indian War . In 1775 , the Second Continental Congress commissioned him as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution . In that command , Washington forced the British out of Boston in 1776 but was defeated and nearly captured later that year when he lost New York City . After crossing the Delaware River in the middle of winter , he defeated the British in two battles -LRB- Trenton and Princeton -RRB- , retook New Jersey , and restored momentum to the Patriot cause . His strategy enabled Continental forces to capture two major British armies at Saratoga in 1777 and Yorktown in 1781 . Historians laud Washington for the selection and supervision of his generals ; preservation and command of the army ; coordination with the Congress , state governors , and their militia ; and attention to supplies , logistics , and training . In battle , however , Washington was repeatedly outmaneuvered by British generals with larger armies . After victory had been finalized in 1783 , Washington resigned as commander-in-chief rather than seize power , proving his opposition to dictatorship and his commitment to American republicanism . Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention in 1787 , which devised a new form of federal government for the United States . Following his election as president in 1789 , he worked to unify rival factions in the fledgling nation . He supported Alexander Hamilton 's programs to satisfy all debts , federal and state , established a permanent seat of government , implemented an effective tax system , and created a national bank . In avoiding war with Great Britain , he guaranteed a decade of peace and profitable trade by securing the Jay Treaty in 1795 , despite intense opposition from the Jeffersonians . He remained non-partisan , never joining the Federalist Party , although he largely supported its policies . Washington 's Farewell Address was an influential primer on civic virtue , warning against partisanship , sectionalism , and involvement in foreign wars . He retired from the presidency in 1797 , returning to his home and plantation at Mount Vernon . Upon his death , Washington was eulogized as `` first in war , first in peace , and first in the hearts of his countrymen '' by Representative Henry Lee III of Virginia . He was revered in life and in death ; scholarly and public polling consistently ranks him among the top three presidents in American history . He has been depicted and remembered in monuments , public works , currency , and other dedications to the present day .

Ludwig van Beethoven: Composer's life & music \| Classic FM Classic FM's Fast and Friendly Guide to Beethoven 01:56 Beethoven Biography Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer and pianist, who is arguably the defining figure in the history of Western music. Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in December 1770, but no-one is completely sure on which date. He was baptized on the 17th. The earliest recorded piece that Beethoven composed is a set of nine piano variations, composed in 1782. Beethoven moved to Vienna in 1792, where he met influential composers like Haydn and began to compose in earnest. By 1796, he had begun to suffer from tinnitus and was losing his hearing. Beethoven composed his Piano Sonata No. 14 ('Moonlight') in 1802. The Third Symphony, known as the 'Eroica', was completed in 1804. It went on to redefine the symphony as a genre. The opening motif to the Fifth Symphony from 1808 is one of the most famous musical excerpts in history. The 'middle period' of Beethoven's career also saw him compose piano works like the Waldstein and Apassionata sonatas, as well as his only opera, Fidelio, which went through countless rewrites and revisions. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the 'Choral' from 1824, is another work of his that has remained infinitely popular. It was the first time that a composer had used choral voices in a major symphony. Ill health and increasing deafness caused a drop in productivity at the end of Beethoven's life, but he still managed to produce important works like his 'Late Quartets' in 1825, which were wildly inventive for the time. Beethoven died in Vienna on the 26th March 1827 after a long illness that has variously been attributed to alcohol, hepatitis, cirrhosis and pneumonia. Did you know? Beethoven composed only one opera, Fidelio, which took years to get right. He re-wrote one aria no fewer than 18 times and came up with four different overtures before deciding upon the one he liked. Beethoven: the man

Missouri River The Missouri makes a bend to the southeast as it winds through the Great Plains, receiving the Niobrara River and many smaller tributaries from the southwest. It then proceeds to form the boundary of South Dakota and Nebraska, then after being joined by the James River from the north, forms the Iowa–Nebraska boundary. At Sioux City the Big Sioux River comes in from the north. The Missouri flows south to the city of Omaha where it receives its longest tributary, the Platte River, from the west.[18] Downstream, it begins to define the Nebraska–Missouri border, then flows between Missouri and Kansas. The Missouri swings east at Kansas City, where the Kansas River enters from the west, and so on into north-central Missouri. To the east of Kansas City, the Missouri receives, on the left side, the Grand River. It passes south of Columbia and receives the Osage and Gasconade Rivers from the south downstream of Jefferson City. The river then rounds the northern side of St. Louis to join the Mississippi River on the border between Missouri and Illinois.[14][15]

Washington, D.C. residents who support the statehood movement sometimes use a shortened version of the Revolutionary War protest motto "No taxation without representation", omitting the initial "No", denoting their lack of Congressional representation; the phrase is now printed on newly issued Washington, D.C. license plates (although a driver may choose to have the Washington, D.C. website address instead). President Bill Clinton's presidential limousine had the "Taxation without representation" license plate late in his term, while President George W. Bush had the vehicle's plates changed shortly after beginning his term in office. President Barack Obama had the license plates changed back to the protest style at the beginning of his second term.
I'll Be Seeing You (song) It was also played in the 1989 Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors; in the end credits of the 1990 film Misery (Liberace's rendition);[7] in the 1992 movie Shining Through;[8] in two episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; in the 1999 documentary Beyond the Mat (when the Rosemary Clooney version is heard),[9] in the 2004 film The Aviator (sung by Martha Wainwright),[10] and the Jimmy Durante version is heard in the 2004 film The Notebook as the song for Noah and Allie. It was featured and performed by Anne Shelton in "Dance with the Dead", a 2006 episode of Midsomer Murders, which was set near an old World War II airfield. It was also played in the closing credits for the final (until 2011) episode of Beavis and Butt-head; in the 2010 season 4 episodes of Eureka ("Founder's Day" "A New World" and "I'll Be Seeing You"). On the final episode of The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson which was aired on May 22, 1992, Doc Severinsen and the NBC Orchestra closed the show with it, as it was one of Carson's favorite songs.

First, the geography of the area was very different in antiquity. Everything I've read has suggested that the Hellespont (Dardanelles) had much more narrow spots in the 6th century BCE. I don't have any sources for that on hand, but searching for "Hellespont geomorphology" or the like will produce something. Second, Darius I in fact did cross at the Bosphorus on his campaign against the Scythians in 513 BCE. When Xerxes I crossed over into Europe during the Persian Wars, it was his [route](_URL_0_) that determined the point of crossing. He was moving north from Sardis, and the Bosphorus crossing would have been a more circuitous route. Speculation mode: I don't know about previous crossings by any group, but if indeed the Hellespont had never been bridged previously, it is feasible that Xerxes choose to cross there for the "did it first" value. He was not a humble man, to say the least.

It's Gonna Be Me The video begins in a large toy store, with "Bye Bye Bye" playing in the background. Each group member is an animated plastic doll version of themselves in a box similar to their album cover. They punch through the plastic front of their boxes and try to attract the attention of the girl shopping (Kim Smith, who also appears as the puppeteer in "Bye Bye Bye") so that they can be bought. Army men abseil down from a higher shelf, destroy their boxes, and laugh at them when they are purchased. Next, the boys spot a set of Barbie-like dolls and go hang out with them. The Barbies drop a net on them, and again tease them when they are bought and NSYNC is not. Finally, the group gets back to their shelf and does a dance for the shopping girl. She buys them, and upon scanning, each doll becomes the real-life version of each group member. All of this is interspersed with the band in a color-lit room singing and dancing with the lights changing colors.

In China, a call to boycott French hypermart Carrefour from May 1 began spreading through mobile text messaging and online chat rooms amongst the Chinese over the weekend from April 12, accusing the company's major shareholder, the LVMH Group, of donating funds to the Dalai Lama. There were also calls to extend the boycott to include French luxury goods and cosmetic products. Chinese protesters organized boycotts of the French-owned retail chain Carrefour in major Chinese cities including Kunming, Hefei and Wuhan, accusing the French nation of pro-secessionist conspiracy and anti-Chinese racism. Some burned French flags, some added Swastika (due to its conotaions with Nazism) to the French flag, and spread short online messages calling for large protests in front of French consulates and embassy. Some shoppers who insisted on entering one of the Carrefour stores in Kunming were blocked by boycotters wielding large Chinese flags and hit by water bottles. Hundreds of people joined Anti-French rallies in Beijing, Wuhan, Hefei, Kunming and Qingdao, which quickly spread to other cities like Xi'an, Harbin and Jinan. Carrefour denied any support or involvement in the Tibetan issue, and had its staff in its Chinese stores wear uniforms emblazoned with the Chinese national flag and caps with Olympic insignia and as well as the words "Beijing 2008" to show its support for the games. The effort had to be ceased when the BOCOG deemed the use of official Olympic insignia as illegal and a violation of copyright.
Another source of loanwords was Old Norse, which came into contact with Old English via the Scandinavian rulers and settlers in the Danelaw from the late 9th century, and during the rule of Cnut and other Danish kings in the early 11th century. Many place-names in eastern and northern England are of Scandinavian origin. Norse borrowings are relatively rare in Old English literature, being mostly terms relating to government and administration. The literary standard, however, was based on the West Saxon dialect, away from the main area of Scandinavian influence; the impact of Norse may have been greater in the eastern and northern dialects. Certainly in Middle English texts, which are more often based on eastern dialects, a strong Norse influence becomes apparent. Modern English contains a great many, often everyday, words that were borrowed from Old Norse, and the grammatical simplification that occurred after the Old English period is also often attributed to Norse influence.

Although professional wrestling is worked, there is a high chance of injury, and even death. Strikes are often stiff, especially in Japan and in independent wrestling promotions such as Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) and Ring of Honor (ROH). The ring is often made out of 2 by 8 timber planks. Many of the injuries that occur in pro wrestling are shoulders, knee, back, neck, and rib injuries. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy and traumatic brain injuries have also been linked to pro wrestling, including in the double-murder suicide case involving Chris Benoit. Professional wrestler Davey Richards said in 2015, "We train to take damage, we know we are going to take damage and we accept that".

In the early 20th century, the vast conscription of Italian men from all throughout Italy during World War I is credited with facilitating the diffusion of standard Italian among less educated Italian men, as these men from various regions with various regional languages were forced to communicate with each other in a common tongue while serving in the Italian military. With the eventual spread of the radio and television throughout Italy and the establishment of public education, Italians from all regions were increasingly exposed to standard Italian, while literacy rates among all social classes improved. Today, the majority of Italians are able to speak standard Italian, though many Italians still speak their regional language regularly or as their primary day-to-day language, especially at home with family or when communicating with Italians from the same town or region. However, to some Italians, speaking a regional language, especially in a formal setting or outside of one's region, may carry a stigma or negative connotations associated with being lower class, uneducated, boorish, or overly informal.
Clickjacking, also known as "UI redress attack or User Interface redress attack", is a malicious technique in which an attacker tricks a user into clicking on a button or link on another webpage while the user intended to click on the top level page. This is done using multiple transparent or opaque layers. The attacker is basically "hijacking" the clicks meant for the top level page and routing them to some other irrelevant page, most likely owned by someone else. A similar technique can be used to hijack keystrokes. Carefully drafting a combination of stylesheets, iframes, buttons and text boxes, a user can be led into believing that they are typing the password or other information on some authentic webpage while it is being channeled into an invisible frame controlled by the attacker.
