After over a year and a half (556 days, to be precise) since five opposition ministers resigned from the Lebanese cabinet, precipitating the worst political crisis since the Civil War, a solution was finally reached between Lebanese politicians in Doha, early this morning.
The agreement brings to a close a turbulent period which saw downtown Beirut shut down by demonstrators, dozens of civilians killed in street clashes, the Nahr al-Bared conflict, a string of political assassinations, and the return of ugly displays of sectarianism, which threatened to drag the country back into civil war.
these concessions reflect what is widely perceived as the outright failure of the bush administration to achieve any of its goals in the area, in spite of opening supplying sunni militiamen through something called "secure plus" at the insistence of hardliners -- as had been broken originally by sy hersh. more from joshua landis, who all but pisses upon the ridiculously hyperbole of the frustrated neoconservatives of the wall street journal in contempt -- and more still, in disbelief at the amateurish efforts of washington.
and maybe it is nothing but cover, a false pretense, a prelude to war of the kind nir rosen sees neoconservatives like the brookings institution's michael o'hanlon advocating with respect to iran..

the geopolitics of israel
it notes that the only material threats to israel are either 1) internal disunity, which can put one or more of its three natural geopolitical parts within reach of either syria or egypt (not conincidentally the focii of the clean break strategy); or 2) great imperial powers seeking control and/or access to the mediterranean through the levant.
it is interesting to view, then, the promulgation of the delusion of an 'imperial iran' as a sort of manufacuring of the latter kind of threat. but putting aside that nonsense, one must see that the current major threat to israel is most obviously the sole great power in the region -- the united states -- which explains much of the israeli dedication to maintaining its extraordinary political lobby in the united states as a means of maintaining maximum independence in what is essentially a subjugated role within a global anglophone empire (what stratfor calls the persian model).
with the bush administration having occupied iraq and now perhaps considering action beyond into iran and syria, one has to wonder if some in israel would hesitate to encourage the greater explicitness of the american role as regional hegemon. as noted:.
does anyone in the israeli power strucutre conceive of a time when its cleverness vis-a-vis the united states could end -- leaving it facing an ambivalent or even explicitly aggressive great power?
it is normal in my view for democracies in particular to be ruled by the dominant minority through the cultivated popular perception of fear, that most reliable of collective motivations. so militant and radicalized has the campaign for fear of iran (and indeed several of the political entities that lie outside effective anglophone control) become that it finds even the suggestion of communication (much less the material con |

It's not unusual for one or two to approach swimmers or jet skiers in search of a playmate. In Panama City Beach, Florida, dolphins are known to hold a symbiotic relationship with humans. Pods will follow fishing boats in anticipation of a good spot to hunt, or hang out at the pier waiting to be fed with fishing boat scraps. In return, many businesses rely on these aquatic locals for personal encounters with Panama City Beach dolphins, sightseeing tours, boat tours, and snorkeling excursions.

en | N/A | N/A | The Cosmos network seeks to connect various disparate blockchain networks with its ecosystem. With such a network, individual networks can open the possibilities of decentralized systems by freely allowing assets to move between chains, making the flow of information, data, and value more fluid than ever.
Cosmos is a project strictly focused on solving the interoperability problem between blockchains. The team calls it the internet of blockchains, which is about as apt a way to describe its utility as any. With its design, Cosmos hopes to bring both interoperability and scalability solutions to the blockchain space.
The Cosmos network launched its mainnet in 2019 and has seen some growing popularity within the crypto space since then. Projects that have launched in the Cosmos and its Tendermint ecosystem include Binance Chain, Terra, and Aragon, among many others.
In short, Cosmos is a network of blockchains that operate parallelly and independently, using their own consensus mechanisms, like the Tendermint consensus mechanism.
What Is Cosmos Hub?
The Cosmos Hub is at the heart of the whole interoperable system, so it is worth going over it in more detail.
What Are Cosmos Zones?
Cosmos’ Zones are application-specific blockchains. Cosmos is designed as such that these Zones can choose to accept or refuse connections with any others that are connected to the hub.
The Cosmos SDK is a modular development framework that lets developers create application-specific blockchains or Zones. The Cosmos team says that developers can build their own Zones very quickly, which is essential to the adoption of the network.
Governance sees Cosmos validators and delegators vote on proposals such as changing network parameters or other typical decisions made in a governance forum. There are a few different periods that go into the whole process.
First, during the deposit period, users deposit their ATOMs into a proposal, which goes on for two weeks. Then, the voting period begins, and contributors can cast votes. Delegators can also offer their ATOMs for voting influence to validators.
To stake ATOM, you will need some first. You can buy it from Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken and move it to a non-custodial wallet that supports Cosmos staking. Many Cosmos stakers use Keplr wallet.
Next, you will have to choose a validator. For most wallets, you can choose a validator from a list of validators. For other wallets, a validator is pre-selected for the wallet user.
After choosing a validator, you select “delegate” and enter the amount. Confirm the transaction to start staking!
AtomicDEX supports BEP-20 ATOM and thousands of other cryptocurrencies.
The future of Cosmos (ATOM) is hard to define accurately, given that there is so much competition in this space. Recent Cosmos (ATOM) news doesn’t grab as many headlines like some other projects, but it’s clear that the market is in need of strong interoperability solutions.
We recommend learning more about the state of blockchain interoperability and what teams are doing to overcome this obstacle. This is a significant pain point in the industry and is set to revolutionize the industry once it is fully tackled. |

en | N/A | N/A | Home - List of One Piece Characters - Raise Max
Raise Max of One Piece
Raise Max is a member of the Revolutionary Army. He is known as a legendary player who never loses. At the beginning of One Piece Gold, he was a prisoner of Gild Tesoro.
Gold (2016).
Raise Max is a very small built man with tousled green hair. He wears a crumpled white hat and glasses with orange tinted lenses, but one of them broke during the fight with Tesoro’s henchmen. He has a red “7” tattooed on his left cheek. He also has a lot of stubble on his face. To go with this, he wears a tattered white suit with a purple shirt with a light dot pattern underneath, which is also tattered. He also wears dark jeans fastened by a white belt and white shoes.
Overall, his appearance seems very run down and messy, which probably came from his time in Golden Prison.
Raise Max makes it a point to always appear cool and manly. He usually talks calm and collected, which probably comes from his days as a professional gamer. At the beginning of Movie 12, his fighting spirit was broken. At the time, he couldn’t understand why Luffy never gave up no matter what happened to him and tried to make him understand several times that there was no point in rebelling against Gild Tesoro. But Luffy managed to give him courage again through his tireless fighting spirit, which is why he supported him and Franky in the end.
Raise Max was known as a legendary player for a long time and was adored by Franky, among others, and was even one of his idols. However, he decided to join the Revolutionaries one day and became friends with Sabo and Koala, among others. At an unknown time, Raise Max was also married twice, with each of the two marriages resulting in divorce.
When he went to Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro managed to beat him in a match and threw him into Golden Prison.
When Luffy and Franky were thrown into Golden Prison, Raise Max explained to them where they were and what to expect. However, Luffy was rather indifferent to this. He tried to find an escape route despite the circumstances, and then defeat Gildo. At first Max tried to talk him out of it, but Luffy’s tireless attempts inspired him, whereupon he joined Luffy and Franky with other prisoners. Along with the other prisoners, Raise Max jumped into a massive fan to stop the blades, thereby getting to the other side to the pump station. He later joined the rest of the former prisoners in fighting Gildo’s henchmen, while the Straw Hats took care of the stronger members of Gildo’s force.
After Luffy’s victory over Tesoro, he was able to escape on a ship together with Koala and Sabo.
Its name means “to raise to the maximum” and raise is a common term in many games of chance, such as Poker. |

en | N/A | N/A | The good news is that having access to off the grid internet is feasible; nevertheless, don’t expect a consistent or fast internet connection. I live in Alaska, which has a low population density and few internet access alternatives, although many people gain at least partial internet access. The bad news is that you will most likely be unable to browse the internet as you would if you had a solid internet connection.
Furthermore, most individuals have data restrictions, and social networking and video streaming sites consume a lot of data; watching a movie and surfing social media will quickly consume a couple of GB of your data quota. If you want a cable broadband internet connection, you must live partially off the grid; for more details, see my recent article How to Live Partially Off the Grid.
Check Satellite Internet
Use a HAM Radio
Use a Microwave Internet Connection
Broadband Power Lines
Final Thoughts on Internet When Off the Grid Living
This is by far the simplest and best way to get internet while living off the grid for many individuals. In general,cell phone coverlow population density, your cell phone coverage is poor, and you will most likely have a relatively low data allotment. If you have the option of creating a contract without a data cap, that would be your best alternative.
You will also need to check the cell phone coverage, and by this, I do not mean going to the carrier’s website and seeing where they have coverage, as this is most likely not genuine and is only to get you signed up with them. You must go to the place and check the signal strength; in some situations where cell phone coverage should exist, you will most likely find nonelive in a remote place surrounded by hills; huge forests can also impede cell phone reception.
Keep the booster close to your phone, with no walls between it and the antenna.
If you have other devices, such as a HAM radio, please turn them off while browsing the internet.
If feasible, get a booster with a higher GHz output; they are the fastest.
If you reside near one of the fixed wireless broadband antennae and the signal is quite slow, you can still improve the signal; simply acquire an extra antenna, and you should be good.
Viasat: Provides 10-100 Mbps, has a data cap of 40-150 Gb and costs $50-$100, yet internet speed claims should be taken with a grain of salt regardless of which carrier you choose. The issue is that internet speed varies greatly; you would be better off with a 10 Mbps connection that is stable rather than a 100 Mbps connection that frequently drops to less than 1 Mbps.
Most LTE data plans include data caps; choose one with the best reception in your location; the data cap is nothing if you can’t connect to the internet.
This is comparable to fixed wireless broadband, but itis is the greatest type of internet available; the speed is adequate, and the connection is stable. The biggest issue with microwave internet towers is that they must be in direct sight of your receiving antenna. Thus if you live in the middle of the woods or a valley, you will not have internet access.
The good news is that you can use the internet even if you don’t have any DIY abilities. If your house is not in direct line of sight of the microwave internet tower, locate a hill and position your receiving antenna there, ensuring that it has a direct line of sight. All that remains is to connect your wireless router to the antenna using an internet cable; keep in mind that the longer the cable, the slower the internet.
When most people think of a Hotspot, they envision one created by their cell phone. The truth is that numerous firms do provide Hotspot with a little device that functions similarly to a wireless router. A hotspot created using a cellphone is adequate, but a hotspot created with a hotspot device is far superior, faster, and more stable. Most companies that sell hotspot devices require mobile phone connectivity in the vicinity, but this is not always the case, so check around.
The data caps on these USB sticks are also relatively low, as low as 1GB; the good news is that you will never be able to achieve that if your internet connection is poor. In addition, you will have to purchase the USB stick and pay a monthly subscription to use it.
There are few possibilities for internet access in many distant places where smaller towns and settlements are located. Some towns get together to create a tiny network that is subsequently linked to the internet. The quality of the internet is determined by who the real source is, which can be many miles distant. A single fiber optic cable is pulled and connected to a router for short distances, with individual homes connected to the router through a standard internet cable.
In other cases, if the distance is relatively great, some towns will build up antennas and repeaters; while this is not the best choice, it is better than nothing. Keep in mind that special permits are required to set up these antennas and repeaters.
BPL is a service available in many rural towns; there is no need for internet connections because you may access the internet directly from the power grid. This is largely for folks who live partially off the grid but are still linked to the electrical grid. However, with luck linked to the grid. In some locations, firms that provide BPL will install an antenna and a repeater so that even if you are not close to the power grid, you can still access the internet.
If you have to pay for antennae, repeaters, and the full setup, it will cost you an arm and a leg. This is an excellent option for folks who do not have cell phone service in certain places, yet such a setup can be prohibitively expensive if you are not directly connected to the grid.
Most people mistake these for standard wireless antennas; they are entirely separate devices. In the last few years, the technology used for long-range Wi-Fi antennae has advanced to the point where you may be several miles away from the antenna that is supplying the internet. These long-range antennas are typically installed in small settlements. However, some individuals have them as well.
The bad news is that these antennas can be quite expensive, and some organizations that sell these antennas frequently try to make a package deal with a specific internet service provider. The good news is that, with luck, the internet can be excellent.

en | N/A | N/A | Most interesting new questline ideas for Children’s Week from a lore perspective?
It's Children's Week! This is my first time experiencing it and I find it pretty neat to see all the sights that exist just for this event and have the kids follow me around on journeys. You can see the quality increase as you tackle each quest, too. Starting with the human/orc children that are just a bunch of locations to see, then the Draenei/Blood Elf children who have somewhat of a story brewing with the Draenei having a bright future and the Blood Elf performing for the band, then the Oracle and Wolvar children having a lot more unique interactions from each other by visiting different locations, and finally the Kul Tiran/Zandalari children having full storylines going on, with the former deciding what he wants to be when he grows up and the latter conning you.
Gilnean and Goblin orphans. Both are still started from the Stormwind and Orgrimmar orphanages.
I think they're both from races whose capitals are just sitting around in disuse so if they had quests that had you go back there, there would at least be some purpose for them now. Here's what I'd do.
This child's parents would have actually died in the Burning of Teldrassil (since this is coming in modern WoW times). The matron tells the player this and also under her breath warns that he really wants to go back to Gilneas so you shouldn't cave in.
The first three quests are to visit the Darnassus refugee area in Stormwind where he talks with some displaced Gilneans, go to Darkshore where he sets up a homemade tribute to his parents on the shore nearest Teldrassil, and to visit Genn Greymane (who would be in the courtyard during this). Greymane gives a speech about how children like this one are the future of Gilneas and all that. The child asks about visiting Gilneas and Greymane says he should not return there until it is cleared of the enemy entirely as it is too dangerous. The kid says he barely remembers Gilneas because he was so young but Greymane just tells the player to keep his mind off Gilneas.
The next set of two missions are set in Gilneas. The kid begs the player to take him there and says that Greymane is actually about to set out on a boat to check in on things there and so you can both stowaway. You do so because the player character does whatever anyone tells them to do as long as experience is involved. First they want to visit the cathedral where they walk around in awe and say their parents told them this was where brave Gilneans made their last stand against the Worgen while the rest escaped. Then he wants to visit Greymane Manor where he runs around checking out all the rooms and saying his family never got to come there.
For the final mission, he wants to go to the now-sunken Duskhaven before you return to the orphanage because that is where he used to live when he was a baby. While somberly looking at the ruins, a Forsaken assassin shows up and says something about how the others called them crazy but they knew if they hung out long enough they'd catch lingering rats. From off-screen, Genn Greymane calls out and leaps in as a Worgen, slaying the assassin. (Maybe the child also turns into a Worgen pup because that would be adorable. He could make them promise not to tell anyone because he's trying to keep it under control.) The kid apologizes but Greymane just says he's happy worse didn't happen. He noticed some supplies were thrown from their crates and saw a trail of packing straw leading from the ship, indicating stowaways. After chiding the player, he ushers both back onto the ship and after a loading screen you're back in Stormwind where you turn in the quest. The kid thanks you for letting him see Gilneas finally and hopes to return someday.
This child's parents died like many goblins do: in an explosion of their own making. After saying sweet childlike things to you she quickly drops the act and says she needs your help because she's wanting to work her way into Gallywix's operations to one day take over. (I know Gallywix isn't the Trade Prince of the Horde anymore but he's still running his own operation).
The first three quests are pretty close together. She wants to go to the secret lab in Azhara where she shakes her head at the sloppiness of the experiments there and sets about building something that she doesn't inform the player about. Next she wants to go to Bilgewater Harbor where she inputs some code into "Gallywix's Pride" that she says is for extra assurance later. A goblin walks in and asks her what she's doing and she instantly puts back up the innocent child act. Finally she wants to go to Gallywix's Pleasure Palace where she gets involved in a discussion with a bunch of guests, subtly finding out names of Gallywix's trusted followers.
The next two quests start with her finding out a blimp is taking off from the Pleasure Palace and going somewhere, and she wants to be on board. The player takes her on board and it flies to Kezan where the Bilgewater Port is apparently being reconstructed secretly by Gallywix's men and he himself is present. She is surprised things are moving so quickly but is excited all the same. First she wants to visit the mines where she discovers the Kajamite, at least for now, is still gone. Then she goes to the first bank of Kezan which is in ruins, and she gets disappointed when she discovers the gold isn't in fact, just loosely laying around for the taking.
Read more: isn'r.
Finally she realizes the time and knows she has to go back soon or people will get suspicious. But she wants to try to get near Gallywix himself to overhear what he's discussing. Upon arrival, Gallywix actually immediately notices her and asks just what is going on. The girl laughs, says this is too easy, and then holds up her invention from the secret lab, saying Gallywix is about to enjoy life as a chicken. The device explodes instead and the girl is knocked down. Gallywix laughs at her but says he overheard a lot of what she'd been planning and she reminds him of a young version of himself. He decides to take her under his wing instead to watch her more closely, and pays the player off with some of the mechanical pets found lying around Bilgewater Port, saying their scrap could be worth something. The player goes back to Orgrimmar where the matron is dismayed at the turn of events but says she doesn't know what she expected from a goblin. |
en | N/A | N/A | Hanging from the rafters in San Antonio’s AT&T Center are seven retired numbers.
00: Johnny Moore 1980-90
32: Sean Elliott 1989-01
Is the Spurs’ list of retired numbers any guide to what we can expect when the Thunder gets in the business of retiring numbers?
The San Antonio list will expand soon, of course. Tim Duncan’s 21, Tony Parker’s 9, Manu Ginobili’s 20. All will be hanging from the rafters sooner or later, depending on when the Spurs’ trio of stars decides to retire. The only question is whether the Spurs want to honor all three at once or separately.
The current Spur honors club includes two superstars (Gervin and Robinson) and five long-time contributors to the San Antonio success.
Silas goes back to ABA days, even played a year with the Dallas Chaparrals, the club that moved to San Antonio in 1973. Silas made two ABA all-star teams. He was a 6-foot-1 point guard from Stephen F. Austin who averaged 19.6 points a game in seven San Antonio seasons.
OK, so what do we learn from the Spurs’ retired numbers, as it relates to the Thunder?
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are no-brainers, of course. Serge Ibaka, too.
The truth is, the Thunder is a little young to be too worried about retired numbers. I can see the Thunder waiting another 12-15 years before retiring a number. Seems a little out of order to retire someone’s number before you retire Durant’s or Westbrook’s. And they’re not slowing down any time soon.
But if you’re looking for clues, San Antonio is a good place to start. |
en | N/A | N/A | Discussion on the Role of Modern Curriculum in Creating Skilled Agricultural Graduates
Posted by Md. Masudul Hassan August 12, 2020 1.2k Views
Introduction to the session:
The curriculum of the agricultural universities of the country is not up to date. Agricultural University graduates have no substitute for production knowledge as well as marketing, supply chain,nd technical knowledge. There is a need to open a wing in the ministry to create agri-entrepreneurs and to fund young entrepreneurs by setting up incubation centers in agricultural universities. Therefore, the curriculum of agricultural universities needs to be updated, said the Minister of Agriculture. Md. Abdur Razzak.
Chief Guest: Minister of Agriculture. Md. Abdur Razzak.
He ‘’ organized by Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University from Government House here yesterday. VKamal Uddin Ahmed, former Governor of Bangladesh Bank Dr. Sattar Mandal presided over the function. Atiur Rahman, Agriculture and Media Personality Sheikh Siraj spoke.
Professor Lutful Hasan, “New subjects are being added to the syllabus all the time, but there are some weaknesses. Over time, that is likely to change. The agriculture minister said the biggest challenge in agriculture is to provide safe and nutritious food for all. Agriculture and food security are alreadyge. With this, Covid-19 has become a blow to the head. As a result, the global food system or food chain is going through an extreme crisis. To meet these challenges, skilled and trained agricultural graduates need to be created. It is possible only through up-to-date, modern, and practical curriculum. In order to make agriculture more profitabshould be increased. We need to build a sustainable marketing system for agricultural products at home and abroad through the commercialization of agriculture. Need to add value by processing. The syllabus andneed to be updated in line with the universities of the developed world. The time has come to formulate a syllabus with knowledge of commercial agricultural techniques.
Agriculture Secretary. Nasiruzzaman:
Agriculture Secretary. Nasiruzzaman said the history of agriculture and rural power structures need to be brought into the curriculum. In order to develop agriculture, it is important to know about its evolution. Along with this, how farmers and agricultural graduates will successfully address the risks of climate change also needs to be included in the syllabus. Former education secretary NI Khan said not only the curriculum needs to be changed, but also higher training needs to be provided for teachers. The rules for the recruitment of teachers need to be changed. Because the teachers teach the students according to the curriculum. Since graduates work with farmers, it is necessary to include social science courses in the syllabus.
Former Governor of Bangladesh Bank, Atiur Rahman:
Former Governor of Bangladesh Bank, Atiur Rahman said that importance should be given on how agriculture can be made safe and environmentally sustainable. The curriculum should focus on practical education, especially internships. Graduates need to be more involved in internships with farmers and industrial establishments.
Others Speaker:
The speakers further said that agriculture is rapidly moving towards commercialization. If skilled and trained manpower cannot be involved in these places, they will fall into the hands of foreign experts. How to add value by converting agricultural products into different products has not been developed in this country. We have to consider how to do that. The speakers emphasized the inclusion of courses on marketing, industrialization, supply chain, communication and leadership skills, agricultural processing, risk management, and information technology knowledge in the curriculum to enhance the commercialization knowledge of agricultural graduates to make agriculture sustainable. The whole webinar conducted by Agamir Banglaadesh organization and Live telecast through their Facebook page.

Food poisoning is usually caused by unhygienic conditions in our kitchens or urban eateries. That is why, if you are Raila Amolo Odinga and the darling of an ethnic people called Luo, you have to be extraordinarily careful with your words whenever food upsets your tummy.
This is a country, after all, where such great Kenyans as Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, Thomas Joseph Mboya, Robert John Ouko and Pio Gama Pinto have been cut down at the prime of their lives as a result of profound fear by individual members of the upper classes of certain ethnic communities that certain individuals – especially if Luo – might one day occupy State House.
The mere thought of these completely senseless tragedies might have powerfully dissuaded many potentially great sons and daughters of Kenya from entering the fray. On the other hand, many a politician might have been powerfully tempted to milk political sympathy out of it by inventing a tribal conspiracy against him or her. But, upon the whole, the Luo community has paid the highest price for the strange and backward belief by Kenyans that only your tribesman can rule Kenya to your personal advantage, material or otherwise. Despite our alleged education, this mentally uneducated attitude is what prevents Kenyaat is why Mr Odinga’s case is so interesting. It is that none of Kenya’s scores of ethnic communities is as excitable as the one that I share with Mr Odinga. What has happened to such Luo leaders as Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Thomas Joseph Mboya and Robert John Ouko leads ineluctably to one question. Even if their extreme excitability be in the blood, much of that excitability may stem from their conviction that all of Kenya’s other ethnic communities seem united in their profound fear and even hatred of the Luo as an ethnic group – a claim fuelled by the tendency of the educated Luo elite often to behave with unbecoming conceit.
But it will be the duty of the first Luo individual to occupy State House to rid that community of these myths against the Luo. That is one reason that Kenya owes Mr Odinga a shot at State House. Personally, I think the son of Jaramogi may have learned enough lesson to deter him from tyrannising Kenya should he ascend to State House. |

You would definitely need to make use of the inverters/ups to make it viable.
i emailed the sellers rep , they said the UPS and batteries were commissioned on site end of 2016 , how long it was operated , how many times it was cycled or charged / discharged i dont know but its quite possible the thing could have sat idle for 6 - 12 months too.
They are AGM's , made in china but are rated at 10 year service life if you google the battery model number.
Yeah I only saw this as value for money if it was going back out and used for its original purpose.

en | N/A | N/A | Ice and aircrafts are never a good combination. Ice, which can accumulate on any part of the aircraft, is most dangerous when it accumulates on the wings or similar airfoils. These icing encounters cause many fatalities a year, fatalities that could be prevented if pilots use the strategies and tactics that are at their disposal to avoid icing dangers. In flight icing is always a concern and should be treated with an expedited response, however, proper avoidance of icing conditions begins on the ground during preflight.
This safety report will discuss the many types of icing and their effects on flight. Along with the effects of icing on an aircraft, this report will examine the procedures to follow when reacting to these icing conditions. This report will include accident datare importantly the research and technologies developed to help reduce icing-related aviation accidents. Aircraft Icing Aircraft Icing What are the Causes and Possible Solutions? Icing is a definite weather hazard to aircraft.
Icing refers to any deposit or coating of ice on an aircraft. Two types of icing are critical in the operation of aircraft: induction icing and structural icing. Another important form of structural icing may affect the runway or other resources used by aircraft. A runway covered with even a thin film of ice can cause loss of directional control and make braking efforts completely ineffective while the craft is on the ground (Roy, Steuernagle, Wright, 2008). In flight, including the takeoff, the threat of ice hazard is increased.
Icing Causes: Common sense tells us that winter time brings on icing conditions, however, ice is present, or potentially present, somewhere in the atmosphere at all times, no matter what the season. The secret is the freezing level of altitude, which may be around 15,000 feet during the summer and perhaps as low as 1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) on those warm winter days (Lester, 2004). Carburetor icing: When the temperature and dew point are close, you can be certain that water vapor is condensing within the carburetor of an aircraft reciprocating engine, and, if the engine is run at low speed, the condensation is turning into ice.
This is why some engine manufacturers recommend that carburetor heat be applied when the throttle is retarded for prolonged descent and prior to landing (Gleim, 2003). Accident summaries contain many cases of unexplained power loss. Many of these aircraft accidents can be attributed to carburetor ice. Once carburetor ice is suspected at the first sign of engine roughness Aircraft Icing or power loss- apply full carburetor heat (Gleim, 2003). After carburetor heat is applied the engine may run rougher as the ice melts away but the rpm will return to their normal setting.
There are many cases of loss of engine power as a result of carburetor icing which forces a landing. The following accident report summary describes a similar carburetor icing situation: A 106-hour Skyhawkr as the airplane climbed through 9,000 feet means sea level (MSL). She then switched fuel tanks and moved the mixture to full rich, but the engine continued to lose power. Carburetor heat was not used at any time. A forced landing was subsequently made in a field, where the airplane collided with a utility pole and landed in a ditch.
The previous report refers to induction icing within the engine, but other forms of icing attach to the exterior of the aircraft called structural icing. Airframe or structural icing refers to the accumulation of ice on the exterior of the aircraft during flight through Aircraft Icing clouds or liquid precipitation when the skin temperature of the aircraft is equal to, or less than 0 deg C (Lester, 2004). Types of Structural Icing: Structural icing takes on many forms depending on the size of the moisture that comes in contact with the aircraft.
The types of structural ice are clear, rime and a combination of the two. The primary concern over even the slightest amount of structural ice is the loss of aerodynamic efficiency. The increase in drag caused by the additional ice also causes an increase in stall speed, instability and a decrease in lift (Roy, K. S, 2008). The type of ice that forms on the aircraft primarily depends on the size of the water droplets. Clear ice forms when the drops are large and the droplets impacting an airplane freeze slowly, spreading over the aircraft components gradually forming a smooth sheet of solid ice (Lester, 2004).
Clear ice is the most dangerous form of structural icing because it is heavy and hard; it adheres strongly to the aircraft surface greatly disrupting airflow. Clear ice will normally form while flying through cumuliform clouds and through freezing rain (Lester, 2004). Rime ice is the most common icing type and forms while flying through stratified clouds and freezing drizzle (Lester, 2004). It forms when water droplets freeze on impact, trapping air between the small frozen drops, giving the ice a milky white appearance.
Mixed ice has characteristics of both types making it a combination of rime and clear ice. Aircraft Icing The following NTSB summary describes the dangers of inadvertently encountering ice and the effect it will have on the ability of the aircraft to maintain lift and stability: CE 182. One serious and one minor injury. Pilot received a weather briefing approximately one hour prior to flight during which A chance of light icing was forecast. Approximately 30 minutes after takeoff, while at 6,000 feet, a small amount of ice began to form on the strut in the light rain.
Although the aircraft was then cleared to climb above the cloud layer, heavy icing began to accumulate. The aircraft could not climb above 7,300 MSL and a 300 400 feet per minutes (f. p. m). descent developed. The aircraft was cleared to an alternate airport via radar vectors. Over the runway at about 50 feet above ground level (AGL), the aircraft uncontrollably veered to the left and struck the ground hard, collapsing the nose gear. A witness stated that there was ? inch of ice on the fuselage and an inch on the belly. The aircraft was also loaded approximately 200 pounds over gross weight.
NTSB cited the probable causes as icing, improper weather evaluation, and deteriorated aircraft performance. (Watson, 2007) Pilots need to avoid ice especially if their aircraft are not approved for flight into icing. The aircraft in the NTSB report summary above was not approved for flight into icing conditions. Although ice forecast retrieved via weather briefings are in some cases inaccurate the pilot needs to have an escape route should icing be encountered. Accident data as reported by the NTSB is most useful when it brings abouticing-related aviation accidents.
Aircraft fall into two categories, those approved for flight into icing and those that are not. Aircraft equipped with ice protection system allow them to keep ice from accumulating Aircraft Icing on the wing structures while in flight. The evolution of aircraft has provided advanced and useful technologies that have made our aircraft safer in less favorable atmospheric conditions. Icing protection systems: The types of icing protection systems are pneumatic deicing boots, thermal devices, and electro-mechanical systems (Burrows, 2002).
The pneumatic deicing boot is a rubber tube attached to the leading edge of an aircraft wing. When ice is encountered during flight, portions of the rubber device inflate breaking off the ice (Burrows, 2002). Pneumatic deicing boots are used on propeller driven aircraft and jets. Thermal systems use electricity to heat protected surfaces of equipped aircraft. Thermal deicing systems have a more advanced function than deicing boots in that it prevents ice from forming on the heated protected surfaces. The electric heaters can be used as de-icers or anti-icers (Burrows, 2002).
The newest technological advance in de-icing is called electromechanical de-icing, the system use a type of mechanical actuator that physically knocks the accumulated ice off the flight surfaces. The technology works in conjunction with previously developed ice detection systems and is triggered automatically once sensors detect ice. First, an electro-thermal strip heats the wings leading edge to just above freezing, melting the ice. Then other electro-thermal systems heat the leading edge enough to evaporate moisture on contact, preventing it from escaping and refreezing elsewhere as runback ice.
The water flows downstream and eventually freezes where Aircraft Icing the aircraft is less sensitive to airflow disruptions. Thats where [the deicers] hit it. An electrical current is sent through one set of coils at a time, and as the current loops through the coil, it flows in one direction and then the opposite, inducing a magnetic field. Jolted with electrical energy pulses that last . 0005 second, the coils deliver impact accelerations of over 10,000 Gs to the airfoil skin once a minute, shedding ice as thin as . 06 inch. Despite the high G-load, the impact amplitude”the amount of movement of the aircraft skin”is only about . 025 inch. The skin accelerates so rapidly, though, that ice de-bonds as if hit with a hammer (Smithsonian Air and Space).
Conclusion Ice and aircrafts are a dangerous combination when pilots dont utilize weather services to determine freezing levels. When a pilot doesnt understand when to deploy his ice protection system or doesnt do a proper preflight including weather briefings, icing encounters become a reality. Many fatalities a year could be prevented if pilots use available resources to avoid icing dangers. |

en | N/A | N/A | The enactment of U.S. laws on crimes from humanity would reinforce the prospect of the United States a person day seriously contemplating ratification of the proposed Conference on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes From Humanity. In testimony before the U.S. Fee on Worldwide Spiritual Freedom on Sept. 30, I sought to explain the importance of the legislation at present being crafted on Capitol Hill. I was joined at the listening to by Professor Leila Sadat, who targeted on the convention’s a lot of attributes. The following narrative is drawn from my testimony.
At the Nuremberg Trials subsequent Globe War II, the Holocaust was 1st and foremost prosecuted by U.S. prosecutors as a criminal offense against humanity with deeply embedded spiritual origins. If one surveys the atrocity crimes dedicated in latest decades and currently (namely genocide, crimes towards humanity, and war crimes), spiritual violence stands out as a core aspect of numerous of these prejudicial assaults against multitudes of victims. Remember the persecution of the Muslim Cham community Bosnia in the early 1990s, Sudan for a long time, ISIS and its rampage as a result of the Middle East a number of a long time in the past, which include versus the Yazidis, and these days the Uyghurs in China, the Rohingya in Myanmar, and continuing religious turmoil in Nigeria, Kashmir, Yemen, Armenia-Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, the Holy Land, and Northern Eire. Not every thing that has transpired in these religion-stoked cases constitutes crimes against humanity, but this atrocity crime has remaining and proceeds to inflict considerably much more scars on humankind than other international crimes.
st overseas policy stories of the 7 days, featuring briefs, opinions, and explainers. Every single Friday.
The Earth Economic Forum documented in 2019 that spiritual violence across the globe is rising. That trend proceeds to this working day. So this is fact knocking on our door.
Lots of of the prison functions in the class of crimes in opposition to humanity have been utilized in religious conflicts: common or systematic commission of murder, extermination, forcible transfer of inhabitants, torture, and mass rape or other types of sexual violence, not to point out persecution that can underpin ethnic cleaning on spiritual grounds and unspecified “inhumane acts” that are verified by courts. In truth, the London Constitution that produced the Intercontinental Military services Tribunal for the Nuremberg Trials and the Rome Statute that set up the Intercontinental Felony Court docket (ICC) explicitly codified religious persecution as a crime from humanity.
Regrettably, not only is there no conference on the avoidance and punishment of crimes towards humanity, there is a hole in U.S. federal legal legislation pertaining to these violations, which do not exist in the U.S. Code, even while federal courts generally have invoked crimes in opposition to humanity as enforceable customary intercontinental law in civil law issues. As a short while ago as Sept. 15, the U.S. District Courtrooma civil lawsuit brought in February 2018 by survivor victims from a previous Liberian warlord, Moses W. Thomas, for torture less than the Torture Target Protection Act and for equally war crimes and crimes from humanity underneath the Alien Tort Statute. The plaintiffs survived a July 1990 massacre at a Lutheran Church in Monrovia, Liberia, in the course of that country’s civil war. Thomas, accused of supervising the slaughter, returned from the United States to Liberia two years back. If there experienced been a crimes against humanity statute in federal legal regulation in 2018, Thomas could have been detained awaiting trial.
Additional, were the United States to codify such prison penalties, it would be very well-placed to participate in the long term in the proposed Convention on the Avoidance and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity as obtaining presently attained its domestic necessities. The United States thus could provide as a chief to really encourage prosecution of this body of atrocity crimes in national courts globally.
A person can no for a longer period logically argue that crimes against humanity, dedicated on this sort of a large scale, should really be absent from the federal legal code, as if they benefit the imprint of impunity. Frankly, this is an antiquated omission that could be considered by other folks as an at any time- shining green light to dedicate crimes in opposition to humanity without having panic of U.S. felony justice.
For a lot of many years, I and many others have pointed to this glaring hole in federal prison legislation. Slong labored on laws to codify and criminalize crimes towards humanity, which is the draft monthly bill that merits having across the finish line for filing in this Congress. The American Bar Affiliation Working Team on Crimes In opposition to Humanity, which I chair and of which Professor Sadat and Professor Beth Van Schaack (a Just Stability executive editor) are members, has been operating to progress a crimes against humanity bill considering that 2015. The draft legislation also would right a pair of other gaps in federal law to be certain criminal liability under U.S. legislation of non-American perpetrators of war crimes waged towards anyone everywhere in the world if these alien perpetrators are present in the United States, and to bar from admission to the United States any alien who engaged in the fee of war crimes or crimes versus humanity.
The United States ought to not be a harmless haven for perpetrators of crimes versus humanity in the course of religious conflicts abroad or, for that issue, to progress any cause anywhere. A federal government are unable to talk of religious liberty abroad – significantly considerably less of trying to find to protect it — if the exact same authorities is providing shelter to the incredibly people today who deny such religious freedom by committing crimes versus humanity towards those people whose religious persuasion is distinct from their personal. The passions of victims of crimes in opposition to humanity keep on being paramount. Provided jurisdictional prerequisites are met, the U.S. authorized program must be structured to permit the Section of Justice to fulfill victims’ yearning for accountability.
Nor would it be plausible to allow an American citizen to dedicate crimes from humanity at residence or overseas without the need of currently being subject to felony punishment below U.S. law. We have not accepted any such impunity for the fee of genocide, torture, or war crimes (such as recruiting, enlisting, or conscripting youngsters in an armed pressure or team or using kids to participate actively in hostilities), and there is no rational argument why we must exclude crimes from humanity from the checklist of crimes that Us citizens should not dedicate or tolerate. We must be environment the instance, specifically in the deal with of authoritarian regimes throughout the globe.
Further, just as federal legal statutes pertaining to genocide, war crimes, and torture do not carve out the U.S. armed service from their achieve, neither should really the crimes in opposition to humanity monthly bill. Even though crimes against humanity (and their challenging contextual prerequisites) are not explicitly specified as such in the “punitive articles” of the Uniform Code of Armed forces Justice, there are a range of violations in these kinds of punitive articles or blog posts that can be uncovered (or interpreted to fall) inside of the corpus of crimes from humanity. A federal criminal law would guarantee — as with genocide, war crimes, and torture — that there is no loophole in federal legislation permitting the fee of crimes in opposition to humanity. If there have been to be an intentional command final decision to commit crimes versus humanity and to do so as section of a recognised prevalent or systematic attack from a civilian population — a situation I would obtain shockingly un-American — then there will have to be an unambiguous signifies of accountability beneath U.S. law.
Even if one particular continues to be anxious about the exposure of American nationals to compliance with such intercontinental law, I would emphasize this position: Despite the fact that the United States is not a State Get together to the Rome Statute, the country would be foolish not to have a crimes towards humanity law to implement on its very own will. The theory of complementarity beneath the Rome Statute applies to equally States Get-togethers and non-get together States to the treaty. Exactly where a place has the potential in its criminal regulation to investigate and prosecute crimes from humanity — as crimes in opposition to humanity and not lesser crimes — then that region can stay clear of ICC scrutiny for any this kind of crimes allegedly fully commited by its nationals, furnished the authorities proceeds in great faith to look into and, if merited, prosecute any such people today.
This theory serves the passions of a non-occasion Condition, these types of as the United States, due to the fact the ICC might seek to investigate U.S. nationals if there are allegations that individuals people today committed crimes in opposition to humanity on the territory of a State Social gathering to the Rome Statute. The Court docket must respect the United States when it responds in superior religion that it will investigate alleged crimes versus humanity, just as it can now do with respect to alleged genocide and war crimes if suspected by the Court docket, supplied there is federal regulation enabling its legislation enforcement authorities to examine and prosecute crimes towards humanity. If there is no this sort of legislation, then the ICC can dismiss American protestations and declare that the United States lacks the legal potential to undertake the endeavor, which the Court docket then may proceed to undertake on its very own. There are 104 nations around the world, including all but one of the United States’ 27 NATO allies, that have codified crimes in opposition to humanity in their legal codes. A massive majority of these 104 nations are States Functions to the Rome Statute. Nationwide legislation empower this kind of international locations to training their total complementarity legal rights under the Rome Statute, fundamentally necessitating the Court to “back off.” The United States oddly remains, due to the fact of this gap in federal law, needlessly exposed to scrutiny by the ICC.
All that currently being said, the laws is generally aimed at the much more prominent objective of making sure that alien perpetrators of crimes versus humanity discover no sanctuary in the United States.
Eventually, David Miliband, president and mainand was interviewed about a new “age of impunity.” The absence of a crimes in opposition to humanity regulation in the U.S. federal legal code certainly exemplifies that description of our moments. It is virtually a clarion get in touch with to all those who dedicate such atrocities that the United States remains out there for refuge, or even a quick pay a visit to to Disney World, without anxiety of prosecution. One particular may well explain the United States as “Impunity World” for this kind of earth-course criminals.
A crimes in opposition to humanity bill ought to not be a hefty carry on Capitol Hill. It need to be viewed as a bipartisan, non-partisan vital for the sake of humankind. The modest section that the United States can enjoy in this worldwide obstacle is to criminalize commission of crimes towards humanity — in the exact spirit as our lawmakers already have carried out for particular person acts of genocide, torture, and war crimes — and so supply a route to justice for the victims in particular. |

This will help to keep interruptions to the class to a minimum. We know that on occasions they may be forgotten, which we totally understand. On these occasions please ensure that items are clearly labelled with your child s name and HB. Book Amnesty Please could you check at home for any school reading books and library books and return them to school as soon as possible. Reading books are expensive and take up a large part of our curriculum budget. We can t afford to lose too many of them! Don t forget, too, that we have a Book Drop container (in the entrance to the library) if you have any children s books that are in good condition and no longer wanted. We welcome them to recycle around the school. Uniform We believe that school uniform plays an important part in our success as a school. It helps newcomers feel that they belong from the very beginning and means that no one feels singled out by their dress. We feel that setting a smart standard of dress encourages high standards of work and behaviour. It also reduces peer-group pressure to conform to the latest fashion trends. Children wear dark green cardigans or sweatshirts with the school logo in yellow; white polo shirts and black or grey skirts or trousers. The following items and more can be bought from the school office: Fleeces (for outside wear only) Sweatshirts Cardigans Polo shirts T shirts for PE Book bags PE bags For PE lessons, children should wear a green Loughton school shirt or a white t-shirt, with black or navy shorts and trainers. Optionally, children may wear black track suit trousers and top or black school hoody for PE. Peripatetic Music Peripatetic music lessons have started and timetables are displayed on the notice board outside the music room for children to check the times of their lessons. Unfortunately, due to high demand, not all children who applied will be able to start music lessons. However, we will keep their names on a waiting list and they will receive priority should a place become available. Full details are available on the school website. School Car Parking You will have noticed that the school has a barrier system to prevent parents dropping off and picking up children and walking children through the car park. If any parents feel they need access to the car park due to a disability please contact the school office. Please do not park in The Talbot car park, on the yellow zig-zags or solid white lines near the school, or in the main gateway. I would also ask all parents to take care not to block or park over residents driveways.

To Cairn, or not to Cairn?
I am not sure that ‘cairn’ was ever intending to be used as a verb, but in an age where people now habitually ‘source’ and ‘message’ and ‘google’, I think that I can be allowed a little bit of liberty with language.
Cairning. Personally, I love a bit of cairning. Although, I am conscious that it is an activity not without its naysayers. In the Lofoten islands it is frowned upon; positively discouraged; considered detrimental to the natural environment. However, in other parts of the world, cairning––or rock balancing, if you will––has become something of an art-form.
I had been told about a beach on St. Agnes, in the Isles of Scilly, where stacking stones proliferated.
Given St. Agnes’ relatively small size, it took quite a long time to discover the whereabouts of the beach in question (it is slightly south west of the Troy Town turf maze). Partly it was because it lay a tiny distance from the main track, but partly it was because it was initially difficult to discern the stone cairns amidst all the other boulders on the rocky shore. Until suddenly you did. And then you couldn’t stop seeing them.
There were towering sculptures of rocks, twenty or so high; some tapering to spindly, delicate summits. There were less ambitious piles of two or three stones piled on top of one another; there were towers in unfeasible––seemingly inaccessible––locations, on rock promontories, or on top of huge boulders; and there were stacks topped with natural ornamentation––a shell; a strand of seaweed; an unusual-looking piece of driftwood.
I added to the stackery, of course. I couldn’t help myself. But was I adding to the destruction of a natural landscape or creating a beautiful new one?

en | N/A | N/A | In addition to the classical symptoms of autism, such as behavioural disturbances, delay in learning to speak, inappropriate social interaction, obsession over particular objects or foods, lack of eye contact, and language comprehension issues, coumadin and benadryl there may also be signs of abnormal eating behaviour, which may or may not be attributed to specific eating disorders.
One key feature of autism is hyposensitivity or hypersensitivity; thus, children with autism can have different sensory experiences compared with children without autism. As such, textures, smells, tastes, and the feel of food (and non-food) items may be important contributors to their eating habits.
In one study investigating eating habits of childrent, the refusal rate of particular food groups was examined. Refusal, or avoidance, of most food types was significantly higher in.
It is important to note, however, that refusal of food items is not exclusive to children with autism, rather many children who do not have autism also refuse food items, asHowever, the refusal rates are significantly higher in children with autism compared to those without.
So what types of foods do children with autism prefer? Answering this question is not simple, as autistic children are on a spectrum (ASD) and thereforethere is significant research that suggests a majority of autistic children prefer foods of a similar texture, be it all-soft, or all-hard/crunchy.
Improving eating habits in children can be a difficult and often a draining task. It may take months, if not years to change their habits, and it is important to keep persisting.
These tips can actually be applied for any family, as they reinforce healthful eating practices for all children.
As with any of these tips, they most certainly will not work first time, and you need to persist for sometimes months. A gradual change or introduction is often a good start to gage your child’s reactions. Often with these behaviours, the goal is to learn and be comfortable with different foods rather than eating everything you present to them.
Finally, if despite persistent active changes to your child’s mealtime routine does not yield fruitful results, then it is worth seeking the guidance and advice of a medical professional such as a paediatrician, dentist, or clinical nutritionist. They will rule out physiological conditions and tooth problems and provide referral to specialists such as clinical psychiatrists who will try to use behavioural strategies to change behaviour. If the problem is a swallowing problem, speech and language therapists may help with such issues. Sometimes, a counsellor or occupational therapist with autism experience may be needed. |

en | N/A | N/A | punchline! It resonates with me in a lot of ways and encourages me in a lot of ways, and I know it will do just that for you too.
My name is Tony Atambi. I’m Nigerian (proudly so). I’m a lawyer who currently lives and works in Abuja; also a Christian gentleman.
Errrm…Let’s just say as the year went on, motivation waned far too many times, I felt like I was stuck in a rut far too many times, not knowing with the slightest precision what to do next with my life. And so there were quite a number of times where, as a result of the worry arising from life not being in motion, I slid into depression.
- Motion doesn’t equate progress. If you have ever tied motion (being up and about for up and about sake) with progress, you might wanna discard that thought. It is not valid. Being busy is simply what it is – Busy. Busy doesn’t necessarily mean progress. The guy trying to empty the Atlantic Ocean is busy but he will never make any progress.
On closer examination of my thoughts, I realized that I just wanted to be busy, regardless of whether it was productive or not. It pays sometimes to take a break and ask if you’re just running around or getting productive.
- I learnt that my fears are not necessarily valid. In fact, I dare say fears are not valid. The fact that you fear something doesn’t confer it with the capacity to happen. There is no truth about fear. You fear what may or could happen. Yet it is never certain. So I find that sometimes, the things we fear are things we should really confront.
- I’m grateful for the beauty of falling in love (yeah, this is my emotional side) and being loved in return. 2015 brought along to me, a certain amazing lady and Lord knows, I’m in love. Baby, if you can see this, you know I love you to tiny little bits.
- I’m grateful for the grace to always speak a word in season that blesses someone. Every now and then, I put out tweets that serve to minister to and encourage people. I get very positive feedback all the time. In my little corner, God has used me to bring His word to people. He takes all the glory.
Your story resonates in more ways than one and I thank you for sharing.

en | N/A | N/A | Taking a “Team Approach” to Prevent Nursing Home Abuse — Southern California Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Blog — December 25, 2015
Taking a “Team Approach” to Prevent Nursing Home Abuse
It no longer comes as a surprise for many Southern Californians that our elderly loved ones can be at serious risk of nursing home abuse and neglect in facilities that we once believed were safe. But recognizing that there is a problem is not enough to solve it. What can we do to prevent elder abuse in a large-scale, lasting way? A recent article in the Cornell Chronicle cited a new study in The New England Journal of Medicine, which underscored the significance of the “It Takes a Village” approach to putting a stop to elder abuse.
Profiling the Most Likely Victims of Elder Abuse
As the new study explains, we have not learned that rates of elder abuse are increasing. Instead, we have learned more about how frequently elder abuse occurs and to whom. Over the last several years, physicians and researchers have identified a certain profile of seniors who are most likely to become victims of nursing home abuse and neglect. Risk factors include but are not limited to:
Gender: More women experience elder abuse, the authors of the study report, than do men;
Impairment: Cognitive and physical impairments make elder abuse or neglect more likely;
Income: Seniors with low incomes are more likely to become victims of nursing home abuse;
Dementia: Older adults who have been diagnosed with dementia are more likely than those without dementia to be abused; and
Residence: Those who live “with others such as a spouse or adult children, are also at higher risk.”
Having more than one of the risk factors increases the likelihood of elder abuse. As the study authors explain, “you can get a picture of an older woman, who is beginning to experience an impairment, lives with a relative (who is likely to be the abuser) and otherwise is socially isolated, and may have some form of dementia.” And elder abuse is not limited to physical abuse. The recent study underscores that abuse can come in many forms, including sexual and psychological abuse, verbal mistreatment, and neglect.
If we know the profile of the most likely victims of abuse, is there more we can do to prevent it?
Developing a Multidisciplinary Team Approach
Physicians are in the best position to recognize elder abuse and to intervene. As Mark Lachs, one of the study’ co-authors and a professor of medicine and co-chief of the Division of Geriatric and Palliative Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine explains, “a physician may be the only person who ever gets the chance to detect elder abuse because these people can become so socially isolated with just the abuser that often no one else sees them.”
Removing a victim from her current living situation is not necessarily the answer. Instead, Lachs and Karl Pillemer, the other co-author of the study and professor of gerontology at Weill Cornell Medicine, contend that a multidisciplinary team may be one of the best answers for combatting abuse. Such a team might include:
With such teams in place, victims of elder abuse may be able to get the help they need to get out of an abusive situation and to hold their abusers accountable. The authors of the study argue that every city in America should creative a multidisciplinary team if we want to make strides in stopping elder abuse and neglect.

What is Earl Grey Tea and its origin?
Earl Grey tea is a blend of black tea which has been infused with bergamot oil. It is one of the most popular and well-known flavoured Tea. Earl Grey is a quintessentially British Tea and is famously known to be the Queen’s favourite flavour of Tea. It is so popular, it has the whole month of June dedicated to it, Earl Grey Month.
It is believed to have acquired its name from British Prime Minister Earl Grey in the 1800’s.
Although it’s exact origin still remains unclear, we’d like to thank Grey for his wonderful contribution to this glorious beverage.
How to make Earl Grey Tea?
Teabag: Boil fresh water to 100.
Loose-leaf: Boil fresh water to 100°C. Using an infuser add 1 teaspoon of tea per person and pour water over the tea leaves. Leave the tea to infuse for 5 to 7 and stir. |

Entertainment, Nollywood, Relationship
Popular Yoruba actor, Femi Adebayo,, seems to be getting his fans confused since the rumours about him giving marriage a second shot.
The popular actor in a recent interview denied that he was having any plans to get married anytime soon.
He emphasized that the whole marriage stories were not true as he does not know those behind the whole rumours.
“It is not true that I am getting married anytime soon. I have said it on several occasions that I have no plans for marriage. The story is false. I don’t know anything about what they are saying and I don’t know where the news is coming from,” he told Punch.
His marriage to the mother of his children, Kadijat, crashed, especially when he was romantically linked with Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele few years ago.
It was sniffed that the actor was in a new relationship with a US based Nigerian lady whom he met in Nigeria about two years ago when the lady was on vacation from her base in the US.

Father Tesfaye
Artist Tesfaye Sahilu, a.k.a. Ababa Tesfaye has died today, July 31, 2017, at the age of 95. He died a week after he (through his daughter-in-law) received an honorary Doctoral Degree from Unity University.
Tesfaye was also famous Actor, Singer, Magician, and the act of mimicry.
Many of us know Ababa Tesfaye as children’s story teller on ETV, now EBC. Ababa (Father) Tesfaye has been known long as a national grandfather for Ethiopian children. Many grew up listening to his tales on television - and his stories are imprinted in everyone's heart. His tales are so original and Ethiopian that typically represent moral lessons and manner of presentation. From the establishment of Ethiopian Television (ETV) until June 2006 he has been an idol of children's TV-Show as "Yelijotch Gize" - "Children's Time."
After his father and mother had died, he raised with his guardian. He was believed to come up with different challenges.
Previously, Tesfaye also recognized by the Bego Sew, loosely translated a “Good Person” award headed by its founder Diakon Daniel
Kibret.
“Yearbegna Mist” is one of the several plays including Gonderew Gebremariam, Yedem Dimitse, Mekentoan Tifta, Arbegnoch, Ethiopia, and others. He has played such world famous characters such as Pontius Pilate, Iyago, Tiresias and many other heroes, kings, and clowns.

Money laundering can sometimes involve multiple steps to conceal where these illegal funds came from. One of the steps is placement of the money. The goal is to deposit the funds into a bank account without drawing attention to it (Cliff and Desilets 2). It is likely the deposits will be structured, meaning multiple small deposits, possibly into several accounts at several banks. At this point the money can be switched to trade goods or even converted into other currencies. A lot of times the cash or trade goods are transferred away from the country the crime was committed (Cliff and Desilets 2).
Layering is the second step in the money laundering process. In this step the funds are moved multiple times to distance them from the original source (“Money Laundering”). They could buy a series of negotiable and investment instruments or wire the funds through multiple accounts at multiple banks across the globe (“Money Laundering”). Th.

en | N/A | N/A | the thesis. For an essay to be persuasive the writer must have the ability to summarize the topic concisely and effectively. The essay must remain focused and never stray from the point.
Logical:
Giving a unity to the entire essay and maintaining lucid transitions between sections is extremely important. The reader’s mind is likely to wander if the essay lacks a logical, cohesive structure. Initial points and arguments must lead smoothly into those that follow, thus linking the whole piece, with former and latter ideas backing each other up and adding weight to the writer’s argument.
It is advisable to limit each paragraph to explaining just one idea. This will give a good overall impression and enable the reader to understand the argument step by step. Bear in mind that connections are as important as logical transitions. If a student begins an essay with a particular approach it should be maintained throughout the text. A good writer will notice how the different paragraphs can greatly accentuate the idea of the topic. All the evidence and facts collected during the research stage should be put to use in the writing.
However, omitting all opinions that obviously contradict the topic under discussion can leave the reader with a poor impression. The writer will appear more professional by dealing with a diversity of ideas while remaining focused and precise. All information must be up-to-date; however, if necessary, old facts may be used to prove certain points.
While keeping opposing opinions under discussion, the writer must ensure that all the information he or she is presenting is authentic and accurate. Theses should be supported by solid evidence. By including multiple points of views on a single idea an argumentative essay can be extremely versatile. If there are any conflicting opinions, they too should be included, but the student should use them wisely to support the subject. A direct declaration that an opinion is right or wrong is out of place in an argumentative essay, rather the writer’s skill lies in logically leading the reader to the desired conclusion.
The conclusion must briefly describe the entire essay in the light of the foregoing arguments and evidence:
The argument of the essay must be complete:
It is always wise to discuss your topic with your class fellows. For example, if the topic for my argumentative essay were World War II, I would try to gather information about the topic and formulate it with a proper introduction, middle and end. Never leave any questions in the middle section unanswered. Keep your argumentative essay extremely concise but do not forget to make sure it is also clear and complete.
A five-paragraph essay, correctly planned, will put your argument across convincingly. An argumentative essay becomes most compelling when all the information is presented in five following three make up the main body of your argument and the last is devoted to the conclusion.
Lengthy argumentative essays:
If the subject of your essay is complex, you may increase the length of the essay according to the demands of the topic. As a general rule, it is the amount of information or evidence that decides the length of the final essay; however, do try not to increase the length unnecessarily. </s> PwC Business Leaders Breakfast Session (Vancouver)

en | N/A | N/A | fact, when you think about it: everything conspired for that to be the case, starting with the sociological composition of the square protest – essentially bringing together educated, precarious urban youth, well-made to awaken a both spontaneous and instinctive sympathy among the media class. This sympathy reached its height among the on-the-ground reporters sent there to hold a microphone or a camera, on account of their similarity to this milieu: they themselves are typical representatives of the youth they came to ask questions.
Rarely have we seen a movement that challenges the social order being celebrated by the guardians of that social order. And here, too, things were exactly the same. For the media reception totally turned around, with a generalised explosion of crazy editorials. Now there was no longer any question of leaving the story in the hands of the dogsbodies of news gathering. It became a matter for op ed writers. We should produce an anthology of the kind of things that it was possible for some to write at that moment, gratifying in their idiocy and their delirium. The disruptive thing, from the system’s point of view, was the fact that we put a question back on the agenda that all these people have been working to chase out of public debate for decades: the question of capitalism.
We always have to reach institutions’ breaking points in order to know what they are capable of. And we were beginning to approach them. When an institutional order, a system of power, really feels endangered it can become capable of anything – by which I mean, all kinds of violence. To a degree – of course, a still moderate one – that was the experience of the social movement and the element of Nuit Debout identifying with that movement. Police violence, judicial violence, and the symbolic violence by editorial writers who were literally foaming at the mouth – they all made for one and the same thing, the system defending itself. We could not have given ourselves any more telling proof of the fact that we were in the right!
I can respond within the terms of your implicit reference: May ’68 was not a tragedy, so even supposing that it was its repetition, Nuit Debout could not be a farce! Nuit Debout has its own characteristics which came to it from its very genesis: it developed around the Labour Law, meaning that like most great movements in France it developed around the social question, the wage question. And when all is said and done, that ultimately means the question of capitalism itself. May ’68 was about tearing apart old forms of authority. That was not a task that Nuit Debout had to accomplish. It could concentrate on other things, two in fact: the general question ofis to say the question of the generalised institutional takeover within the framework of the Fifth Republic; and the question of capitalism as a system of oppression, so a question that was on the order of the day in May ’68.
I say ‘seemingly’ because it may well be that the convergence was achieved where – as is so often the case – people didn’t expect it: in an unprecedented formation that without doubt represents the creation not of Nuit Debout but of… who else? No one in particular, but what was once called the creation of a process without a subject. This unprecedented formation is what they now call the cortège de tête [combative group at the forefront of a demo, often smeared in mainstream media as identical to ‘black bloc-ers’]. You’d have to be a BFMTV editorialist with your arse glued to your armchair to make out that the cortège de tête is simply a mass of ‘hooligans’. The reality of the cortège de tête is the diversity of its composition: totos [pejorative term for autonomists] and milis [Mouvement Inter Luttes Indépendant, a radical movement originating in lycée students’ struggles] but also entirely ordinary demonstrators infuriated by police violence over the course of the protests, trade union militants who’ve decided they’ll no longer tolerate being beaten or gassed without reacting, etc. That was where the true convergence of ‘those in struggle’ took place, and however small in scale it was, necessarily, the highest form of convergence: the one that takes place concretely, in a common confrontation.
This also allows us to extend the comparison of the two events in a very direct way. As we might expect, the simplest means of delegitimising something – immediately within the grasp of no matter what media mind – resided in the maniacal treatment of ‘violence’. And the media worked to reduce Nuit Debout and the movement against the El Khomri bill to nothing but this. But let’s compare the respective levels of violence in May ’68 and spring 2016. Although May ’68 has now become an element of political folklore, and one which columnists look upon with stirrings of nostalgia and indeed indulgence, the level of violence it reached is on a whole different level to what we experienced in spring 2016. Remember, in May ’68 there were barricades in Paris. Barricades! The Palais Brongiart [at that time the Stock Exchange] was set alight. But BFMTV and France Info have gone hysterical because five windows were broken at the Necker [Hospital] – by an isolated cretin, by the way – when as it happens the true destroyers of the hospital are sitting in suits at the Élysée and Hôtel Matignon [t]. Yet given a measureless but ‘abstract’ institutional violence and a ‘concrete’ physical violence of a hundred times less degree, we can count on media idiocy only to see the second violence and never the first. If the true parallel to draw between May ’68 and spring 2016 is indeed that one, then that gives us some food for thought.

en | N/A | N/A | TOP SECRET: How Evans, Kidnap Gang Members Got Multiple Nigerian Passports - NIS Officers Open Up
Evans The Kidnapper
The Nigerian Immigration Service, (NIS), has said that the (alias Evans) and his cronies risk 10 years imprisonment and N2mllion fine each if it is proven that they actually possess multiple Nigerian passports.
Police detectives investigating the confessed billionaire kidnapper, Evans, and his accomplices have discovered that the gang members, including Felix Chukwuma Kanu, have obtained several Nigerian passports.
Malaysian deportee and native of Amaekpo, Ohafia in Abia State, Kanu, claimed ownership of three passports, although in different names and various personal details, but with same photograph
One of his passports bears the name Kanu Felix Chineyerem, born on October 13, 1980, a native or Arochukwu. The passport, issued at the NIS, Ikoyi, has the serial number no A01349427. The second which also has his photograph has the number A02101757, with the name Arinze David, born on April 1, 1973, but issued in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Police detectives have discovered that the second passport has been tampered with since it was originally issued to one Lukmon Fatimon in Ogun State on January 25, 2016. Kanu said he travelled with the fake one in connivance with agents at exit points, who ensured he did not pass through the normal protocol, accentuated by the fact that the system does not check the face of the traveller but his statistics.
But in an interview with Sunday Telegraph, NIS Spokesman, Assistant Comptroller of Immigration, Sunday James, said that anyone found in possession of more than one Nigerian passport commits a crime and shall be liable, upon conviction to a 10-year jail term.
Giving a legal basis for this position, he said Section 10 of the Immigration Act states: “Any person who holds or is in unauthorised possession of more than one valid Nigerian Passport, unlawful alters, tampers with or mutilates any passport or any pages thereof,
Speaking against the revelation that some of the cronies of the notorious kidnap suspect claim that they own five passports or more, the Service brushed such assertions aside, stating that, it is impossible to possess more than one e-passport, because such would be stopped at the point of acquisition.
ACI Sunday James, said: “I can tell you categorically that the e-passport is tamper-proof and for any reason, may be of theft, it is still subject to the biometrics of the original owner. So any attempt to tamper with it by replacing the name or passport photograph, or even cloning renders it useless.
“But I can tell you that nobody can use the passport of another person. It is very difficult for anyone to use the e-passport of another person. But we cannot rule out cloning which can be done by fraudsters in some parts of the country.
“It is impossible for any individual to have more than one valid Nigerian e-passport. Though one cannot rule out the Oluwole factor, even after the place has been dismantled in Lagos since March 2005.There could be some other syndicates all over the country who carry out such forgeries,” he said.
According to him, should any individual obtain passport by different names, it would be detected by the immigration system, either at the point of acquisition, or wherever it is presented either at point of entry or exit. Immigration systems make it easy to detect cloned or fake passports.
Explaining further he said that “under stolen or lost document (STLD), an individual can steal someone else’s passport and take it outside the Immigration system to a syndicate group and do something cynical with it; like identity theft or cloning.
“But where such is done, the impersonator cannot pass through our recognised entry routes; that person only uses illegal points. If you steal any person’s passport and the person reports, it will be rendered useless. The person cannot use any of our entry points, because that passport will be detected,” James said.
Also, a Comptroller of Immigration who pleaded anonymity, corroborated this story, saying: “I can categorically tell you that it’s impossible for anyone to have two Nigerian International Passports not to talk of having five with the way the programme is now structured.
Expatiating on the case of Evans and his cronies that have multiple passports, he said: “Have they presented the passport? Don’t forget the IG said Ghanaian-Nigerian passport. Have the passports been confirmed genuine? Don’t also rule it out; one can get fake passports.”
He said, however, that the gang members and indeed anyone who possesses more than one passport, steals and or alters any existing one will be prosecuted and charged to court and the penalty is 10 years imprisonment as earlier stated.
On activities of master forgers, he said even after raiding and stamping out Oluwole counterfeiters, there is no denying their existence.
“For every step government is taking, the organised crime people are trying to outsmart us. Don’t forget this is their craft. They don’t have any other job than to produce fake document for anyone who wants to patronise them,” he said. |

en | N/A | N/A | to enter the market and make use of the stored private key.
We leveraged libp2p and IPFS to implement our marketplace.
\includegraphics[ scale=0.35]{images/overview.JPG}
In general, we have three levels of packages (see \autoref{fig:systemoverview}. Level 3 is the highest level and it contains API implementations so that it can be called by the user interface. Level 2 contains the \textit{managers} package. This package contains object-oriented classes with each their own responsibilities. For example, \textit{listingManager} handles the listings, \textit{ipfsManager} manages P2P storage and \textit{chatManager} manages chat channels. These classes are accessible and provide service to the level above. Level 1 makes use of lower level classes such as \textit{connection}, which takes care of connection establishment and maintenance.
For this reason, we decided to handle the disclosure session results on a server that is hosted on the same machine as the IRMA server. This functionality is implemented with the door server, as explained in \autoref{sec:irma}. IRMA allows for the usage of an API token to only have authorized requesters, but also signing session requests with a key is possible \cite{irmadocs}. However, because the session requester is a trusted entity, we chose \textit{none} as \textit{authmethod}. The session results can be handled securely on the backenrketpalacestructureNEW.png}
As can be seen in \autoref{fig:systemtls}, the session request between the user and the door server is initiated in step 2 after the user has clicked a button in step 1. The door server creates a QR code and sends it to the front-end where the user can scan it (step 3). In step 4, the personal attributes are sent from the user's IRMA application to our IRMA server. In order to provide confidentiality and integrity, IRMA has implemented a TLS-connection between the server and mobile application, which can be enabled by adding a key and certificate to the configuration of the IRMA server. We hence achieve privacy-preserving disclosure of personal attributes through the use of TLS and only internal communication between front-end and door server.
We use RSA to sign listings in order to authenticate the owner. Listings are signed by users before they are sent over the network. The listings are first hashed to speed up the signing process. Afterwards, they are signed by the private key of the publishing user. The receiver can verify that the user that claims to be the owner of the listing is actually the one that sent the packet~\cite{milanov}.
\subsection{Market security}
A sender encrypts all messages with the public key of the receiver. The sender furthermore includes its public key with the signature received during registration in the message. The complete message is signed by the sender.
Upon arrival of a message, the receiver decrypts the message. They then check if the signature on the included public key is valid. If that is the case, they accept that the sender is a valid user. If not, they drop the message.
The time required for performing these operations depends on the system. This is affected by Distributed Object Location and routing as well as content caching, replication and migration~\cite{Androutsellis-Theotokis:2004:SPC:1041680.1041681}.
In order to answer this question, we set up an experiment wher

Abstract: The NADPH-dependent QueF nitrile reductases catalyze the unprecedented four-electron reduction of nitrile to amine. QueF nitrile reductases can be found in the tRNA biosynthetic pathway of many bacteria and are potential antimicrobial drug targets. QueF enzymes have also attracted great attention as potential industrial biocatalysts for replacing the nitrile-reducing metal hydride catalysts used commoBecause of their narrow substrate specificity, engineering of the QueF enzymes to generate variants with altered or broadened substrate specificity is crucial for producing practically useful biocatalysts. A betteQueF enzymes would expedite rational inhibitor design and enzyme engineering. In this work, we probed the catalytic mechanism of the Vibrio cholerae QueF nitrile reductase by state of the art QM/MM calculations at the ONIOM(B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p):AMBER) level. The QM/MM computational results suggest that the nitrile to amine conversion proceeds through four major stages: (a) formation of a C–S covalent bond between the substrate and the catalytic cysteine residue to form the thioimidate intermediate, (b) hydride transfer from NADPH to the substrate to generate the thiohemiaminal intermediate, (c) cleavage of the C–S covalent bond to generate the imine intermediate, and (d) second hydride transfer from NADPH to the imine intermediate to generate the final amine product. The free energy barrier for the rate-limiting step, i.e. the second hydride transfer, was found to be 20.8 kcal/mol. The calculated barrier height and the catalytic residues identified as essential for nitrile reduction are in accordance with the currently available experimental data. The knowledge about the transition states, intermediates, and protein conformational changes along the reaction path will be valuable for the design of enzyme inhibitors as well as the engineering of QueF nitrile reductasCatalysicatal.5b00528]. |

And so ends, on the most sour of sour notes, what might otherwise arguably be called the most successful first-term presidency that anyone can remember. In a year of COVID lockdowns capped by the events of these two weeks, it becomes easy to forget the positive impacts of the Trump presidency.
The media, of course, isn't helping. Quite the opposite, actually. Since the 2016 election, all pretense of reportorial objectivity has been tossed out the window. The media have proactively worked every day to discredit Trump's election and to undermine his presidency.
The most recent example comes from last week's violence at the Capitol. The media would like you to believe that the thousands of people who showed up in Washington last week – enraged, inflamed and foaming at the mouth on account of Donald Trump – stormed the Capitol en masse.
Last week's mayhem was caused by a comparatively tiny number of criminals out of the tens of thousands of law abiding American citizens who rallied in support of President Trump. If the media were honest, they would report this unassailable fact. They would also report that this is the first example that anyone can remember of violence breaking out at a demonstration for someone on the right (while violence breaks out at lefty demonstrations almost as a matter of course).
Lost in all of the chaos is the recognition that Donald Trump was the first president of either party to actually confront really serious problems facing this country. No nation that hopes to prosper can afford to start wars that it has no strategy for finishing. No nation that hopes for a bright future can allow a million or more poor, uneducated peasants to flood across its borders every year. A nation that wants to succeed can't outsource its manufacturing to a hostile foreign power. A nation that wants to pass down prosperity to its children cannot do so if the middle class that powers and sustains the economy is allowed to shrink year by year.
The problem for Donald Trump is that a lot of very powerful, deeply entrenched Washington Uniparty elites have been getting rich from endless wars, Chinese mercantilism and illegal immigration. Never mind that all of those unremarkable state college-educated middle-class flyover-country wage earners went without an increase in real wages for 20-plus years. Never mind that when a world pandemic broke out, we learned that 97 percent of the antibiotics used in America are produced in China.
Trump addressed these problems head on, called them out for what they are and called out those who are profiting thereby. Trump said it loudly and often and was hated for it in the coastal enclaves populated by the top echelons of the media and the ruling class.
Yes, the Trump presidency ends terribly. But let's not forget that what Trump did in four years needs doing and matters greatly.
Nothing's free and there's no forgiveness.

Amen and Awoman, as the genius pastor ended the congressional prayer. The very long list of accomplishments of President Trump that Paul has enumerated is precisely the reason that removing him was the "hill to die on". Leftist politicians, along with fellow travelers and useful idiots, were all hands on deck to make sure that this man was given no more opportunities to reverse their decades of hard work to make America a third world country (MATWC). Their tactics were without any legal or moral conscious; they were using brass knuckles against an opponent wielding swim noodles. Oh but you say, Republicans believe in law and order and behaving in a civilized manner; we do not stoop to using such unbecoming tactics. Well, that is very commendable, but just prepare toThe Republican party needs to "grow a pair", and I am not sure that the present leadership is willing to undergo such a procedure.
How, specifically, are you suggesting "grow a pair" manifest?

fraudulent inauguration. Who wants to rub shoulders with a lot of low-class creeps? We 74 million "deplorables" sure don't want to. Nor does our president, the man who campaigned his butt off for us on a proven record that ,in a better world, would have made him the toast of the town. Why should the man who didn't lie to us honor the one who did, the one with no agenda who hid in his basement?
Working in tandem, we know the Democrat and the Republicans stole the election so it is only fitting that they join hands with the media, academia, and big tech, and celebrate their special day, the day they conquered the people. This sorry lot represents the true deplorables, and we loath them more and more by the day.
Forgive the crudeness butt: President Trump could fart in public leading the National Media, the environmental wacko's, and Dems to scream from the highest elevations "Trump just destroyed the Ozone layer single handed!" In their eyes and from their mouths, he can do NOTHING right.
What they are doing is simply revenge served as cold as possible. A plaque a friend of mine left me when I took over his job at a Texas government agency read: "When people show you who they are; believe them!"
After voting for Trump twice, I'm left with a sadness that in spite of all the accomplishments, we're in deep trouble and he is to blame. With just a little humility, self awareness, and control over his tongue, he would be starting his second term. As it is, the Biden camp has declared war on his policies. How long will it take to tear down the wall and open our borders, eviscerate our energy industry that gave us energy independence, pack the Supreme Court making conservative judges irrelevant, raise corporate tax rates sending companies back overseas….and a host of other policy about-faces? It will be a grim four years, and I don't see anyone to blame but Trump.
"H" says good things about the way YOU were raised, but "let Trump be Trump" was all we could hope for.
All any of us can do is — in Melaniaspeak — "be best" at who we are.
Debatable accomplishments aside, the presidency doesn't change who someone is, it reveals who someone is.
"Debatable accomplishments?" The didn't drop to 3.6 percent? Unemployment among African Americans didn't reach the lowest levels since records began being kept? The same for women and Hispanics? None of that happened? In 2019 there weren't more job openings than there were unemployed Americans to fill them? Those numbers all come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics — i.e. the government. You love government. Yet the numbers are somehow "debatable?"
The chaos at the southern border (something about which we Texans are much more immediately informed than you New Englanders) didn't subside? The "caravans" from Central America didn't stop? Mexico didn't begin cooperating in stemming the tide? None of that happened either?
American military forces in Afghanistan weren't drawn down? The predations of ISIS didn't cease? The near weekly terrorist attacks on sporting events, concerts, public markets, international airports and large public gatherings didn't stop?
Donald Trump didn't confront China's rampant malfeasance? He didn't call it out in a way that no prior president of either party was ever willing to call it out? He didn't frequently and consistently stand up to that malign regime's naked mercantilism? That was just some fevered pre-dawn dream sequence that 75 million of us experienced?
The economy didn't boom? Any number of polls didn't reveal a sharp reversal of the often-asked "country on the right track/wrong track" question?
Days prior to the election there wasn't a Rasmussen poll that showed that even in the presence of the COVID dislocations, 60 ? That poll didn't happen?
What about any of this is debatable? All of it is quantifiable by readily available, widely disseminated data and reporting
Amen & Awomen Paul! Only ideologues and/or useful idiots could interpret those accomplishments as debatable!

Life did not begin 01/20/17. Ride-the-wave until the botched Coronavirus response clobbered the economy.
RE China: CONSUMERS, not Chinese producers, are eating the tariffs. Buzzword you'll be hearing lots: "re-shoring," and Joe Biden's made-in-America initiatives don't just cover PPE and pharmaceuticals the outgoing regime was content to outsource to China. What's done is done, but don't expect Congressional Republicans to squawk when China orders a bunch of 737MAXes (read: jobs, and you heard it first here). Or when that "Infrastructure Week" Trump never got around to employs millions, FDR2.0
RE Rasmussen poll: I know Scott (and did some work 50 years ago for his dad, who invented ESPN, but I digress). I've followed Rasmussen data since before the company was sold-out-from-under-him; and urge you to, as science now becomes cool again, and new optimism displaces the "carnage" Trump railed-of in an Inaugural rant Dubya called "some weird shit." And that was WHEN things were good (see graph above).
Fast-forward to 01/06/21: Carnage which sobered those of us watching in real-time. Around an erected gallows, the crowd chanted "Hang Mike Pence!"

But absent sudden advances in human cloning, that's just a pipe dream.
That said, I must confess to involuntarily, audibly scoffing when you proclaimed: " rolling out this vaccine in record time!"
As though The Donald personally whipped-up the formula in chemistry set test tubes right there in his golf cart…as though we hadn't heard him tell Bob Woodward that the virus had gone-airborne WHILE telling the American peopler," by April he assured us. Remember April? Dr. Fauci warns the coming weeks could be even more dire.
"Operation Warp Speed?" Just this weekend we are learning that the vaccine stockpile the administration spoke of does not exist.
Hope-for-the-worst all you want, but America is turning the page.
'Neglected to respond to: ""
Check the map. There's a northern border too, and marauding hoards might've simply changed-course.
Here's hoping Vermonters heeded ravings by wild-eyed laughingstock Giuliani about ballots from China coming in over the Canadian border.
Yes Jim, the Queens, NY personality certainly contributed to the outcome of the election, but we cannot dismiss the effects of unlimited air and digital influence, as well as supporters that buy ink by the barrel. When you combine those forces with the willingness of the other party to use every scheme conceivable to achieve victory, the challenge was insurmountable. Let us hope and pray that the grim 4 years will not turn into a grim century (if the country survives). However, unless more is done to be proactive, rather than reactive, nothing will change. Let us also hope that all Americans will recognize and remember the many positives of Trump that Paul identified in his commentary.
Jim, I think the real reason that Trump was hated was not due to his personality but that he was able to bypass the bureaucracy (deep state) and use his skills as a businessman to get so much accomplished in spite of incredible political opposition (based on lies) by both parties. He put the typical career politician to shame. The perpetual self-centered Washington clique (mutual admiration society) was thereby threatened.
His America First and Make America Great Again policies brought him fantastic love from the American people who had made incredible gains his first three years before the Chinese virus hit (on purpose?) and was exploited to hurt his agenda. These Americans had been neglected for decades due to selfish regulations designed to benefit the Washington fortress of public parasites who took priority over them and at their expense.
Let's be frank. The BIG LIE has succeeded from the Treasonous Lecherous Left in this last "election" (so called exercise in futility given the relaxed ballot rules in place) to establish the Union of Socialist States of America (USSA) and take over our country as ONE-PARTY RULERS (the UNI-PARTY), never ever to relinquish their Marxist stranglehold on the formerly (free) American people, without end.
All you have to do is read their plans of the last 100 years as they used the BIG LIE to subvert every traditional American value by way of generating HATRED for our Founders and the "Declaration of Independence" claim of Unalienable "individual" Rights as endowed by God Himself, the Creator. In the Marxist or Fascist or Communist world of dictatorial dogma, God is replaced by the self worshiping Man-idols that relegates humanity to the beasts of the field to be "managed or coerced" to benefit the self appointed demigods who maintain their power through FEAR.
I do not understand how any intelligent thinking person could actually hope to reverse this fact of being conquered by the UNI-PARTY since our individual Electoral franchise has been replaced by "managed" election results to benefit the "common good" as determined by the demigods in power. In fact, we are seeing incredible reprisals being meted out on anyone that doesn't AGREE with the Leftist agenda. This is a typical FEAR tactic to demolish any opposition that is hostile to the Marxist dogma. Defamation and Debasement, not Debate, is the Rule-of-Man where the Rule-of-Law has disappeared.
The Commiecrats have always been able to stay two steps ahead of the Republicans because they are willing to fight dirty and win at all costs since their end always justifies their means (their creed). Hence, the Republicans are easily put on the defensive while they struggle to maintain the status quo. This is why the Socialist agenda has continued to be advanced in spite of Republican opposition over the decades. 2020 is the year that the plunge into full strength Socialism was finally achieved with safeguards put in place to eliminate any possible reversal.
In the new UNI-PARTY administration, the Constitution is easily made obsolete (suspended or eliminated) by ANY social disturbance that threatens the USSA in which Martial Law could easily be invoked. Therefore, it seems foolish that any Republican could claim to regain a return in part to Constitutional government in any future election that would never be allowed to occur.
So what do we do? Let us consider the fact that the States still have some sovereign power as has been demonstrated and tolerated by the Left when it comes to Sanctuary Cities or States regarding a whole host of dubious values. Why should Conservative States be treated any differently? The "Union" has very little value when entire States reject the Leftist agenda. Maybe it is time for us to accept the Double Standards that permeate the Left and use it to our advantage as well, and therefore start a peaceful propaganda campaign to gain support among those who still value freedom as we knew it. Why should the Left not support this idea of diversity for the sake of harmony in the "Union" itself?
CORRECT about "UNI-PARTY."
The big money contributes to both Rs and Ds.
The CORPORATE Party is in charge.
Impressive R.O.I.
Indeed Holland, impressive return on investment, especially for big tech! They no longer need to be concerned about Section 230 being repealed, which gives the social media a green light for more censorship and monopolistic behavior. Where are all the civil libertarians who were on the front line to protect free speech? When you have such a powerful ally to win elections, I guess the 1st Amendment is just another burdensome obstacle. Another fine example of integrity by convenience!
HAD YOU been paying attention in junior high school, you'd've learned that the First Amendment protects us from GOVERNMENT, not the free market private sector.
But first-things-first: No-response-to my-reply-to your first post, up above? Or is this where chicken hawk generalities fail to produce details?
O.K. Mr. English teacher, let us review: 1st Amendment to the U.S.Constitution: "congress ( government) ". Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (government) gives big tech immunity from liability, even when they act as the free press with editorial control. Without this GOVERNMENT exemption, I would agree with allowing free market forces to work. First things second: though I do not like to respond to NYT links, I will be happy to give a complete response…..but first, could you display a little integrity in responding to my question several months ago: DO YOU STILL AGREE WITH THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR OF NY DECISION TO REQUIRE NURSING HOMES AND LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES TO ACCEPT COVID-19 POSITIVE PATIENTS? I cannot wait.
One more thing, we need to understand that the Left does not tolerate diversity when it comes to traditional Conservative American values based on the Judeo-Christian ethos on which the moral aspects of the Constitution are based. Therefore, we must be careful in our support of these values of individual liberty as superior to the "collective" values honored by the Left, lest we be seen as "right-wing extremists", bordering on being dubbed as sympathetic to "terrorists".
I am still learning about the proper use of speech and the vocabulary that the Left will not consider threatening in this new era of "regulated" dialog that is being closely monitored. "Reeducation Camps" are not my idea of a fun time at government expense. I'm sure the new Hong Kong members of Communist China are struggling with this issue as well. I hope "You Tell Me Texas" will remain a bastion of intelligent dialog as we move into the "cancel culture" world of polite speech that replaces the unintended harmful speech of the past. I'm glad that I don't use social media and don't have to worry about offending the Big Tech oligopoly and the purges to which they have become famous.
lists President Trump's accomplishments, real and "debatable." It is an impressive list. I for one will take any man, flaws and all, who can do that much good for the citizen, and accomplish it all without lying to voters or pocketing millions from China. I plan to save this list (you should copy it as I have before the basement dweller takes it down from the White House web sit on Wednesday), so I can compare it to Harris' accomplishments after four years.
"without lying to voters?"

"The ugliest smear lie: Rep. Ilhan Omar supports al Qaeda"
How do you NOT know Omar does not support Iran and al Qaeda? Because she says so? I do believe the Qur'an says it is O.K. to lie to the Infidel. YOU TOO Sir are an Infidel in her eyes. So if you want to believe that piece of work; be my special guest.
As far as the other lies these clowns printed. Go back and read my first statement involving passing wind.
Something in President Biden's speech sparked a thought; sure some of you all have thought of this as well, but it is worth contemplating given the gravity of the issue. Since the World Economic Forum war gamed this very scenario back in October 2020, probably is safe to surmise they also included a conclusion to the Wuhan Virus. Now that the WEF has their people in place to rule America, wonder how long it will actually take to get control of this viral plague? Will be interesting to watch if somehow a fairly swift end comes to this disease or will the powers to be allow it to rage on for another year?

RI is best-COVID-tested state (grab the arm rest) PER CAPITA. This virus preys on people, not acres.
Maybe I need to rephrase my comment this way: The diversity of the population of Texas that is experiencing a mass migration of Californians, New Yorkers, Oregonians, Illinoisians, and other blue state refugees presents a large problem with getting a handle on vaccinations and what they bring with them disease wise. Toss in the Mexican border issue with illegals crossing everyday of the week, and there is no equal comparison to Rhode Island's population and ours. The dynamics of fluid populations of the two states cannot be equally stacked up against each other. So YOUR Governor has a bit of an advantage I would think with a lesser population and a state than not many are kicking the doors down to get into.
If you will recall, the subject of the commentary was the blue state governors' response to the Covid pandemic. So, I simply asked your opinion about the decision by the governor of New York to requireSince you were defending the wisdom and administrative acumen of the governors of blue states, your opinion on that very cruel and ignorant decision was very relevant to the discussion. "What's that got to do with ME?. Try this…..your opinion has everything to do with you! Even though you do not have the integrity to state clearly your opinion, let me address your lack of understanding about my statement that Republican leadership needs to "grow a pair". No Holland, I do not think Ronna McDaniel can or will try to "grow a pair", but the crux of the recommendation was to be more proactive than reactive. In other words, be more like the Democrats, who have mastered the art of proactive lawsuits, etc. to change voting laws, even if unconstitutional. The "all hands on deck" proactive campaign to get rid of President Trump was a thing to behold, even if shameful. As far as the Republican reaction…..if I hear the terms: "double standard", "hypocrisy", "its not fair" again, I think I will be reactive. I will puke! Does this settle your obsession with "a pair" and growing them?
'Still vague on how I'm accountable to you for public policy decisions in a state where neither of us resides.
And your stake in whatever happened/didn't in a nursing home in New York is unclear. For all I know, you may have lost an elderly relative there. If so, I'm really sorry that happened.
I'm just not read-into the situation, and don't have an opinion. If ya wanna talk Flint Water — which I have covered, there and since — I can put a whole dinner party to sleep.
I never implied that you are accountable to me or anyone else "". What I am implying is that you are not a serious person, if you cannot express you opinion on something of such importance. If Governor Abbot or any red state governor had made such a terrible decision, I would have no problem opining that it was a terrible decision. A political party to me is a political party…..not something to be worshipped. Please do not let your political ideology trump your integrity (small t)!
While you are applauding your governor, could you stop for a moment, and then give your opinion on violating her own rules about congregating during this pandemic? I know this is another "What's that got to do with ME?" answer, but give it a shot. This is just the type of leadership we need in the Commerce Department. Should we mention the budget deficit she presided over? This even makes her more qualified to be a part of the new administration?

George Orwell once stateomeone who has spent a lifetime immersed in the "situational ethics" of Marxist dogma is simply operating with a diseased and illogical mind based on "jello" logic of interpretation and deduction and is unable to have a rational discussion with normal thinkers who value and seek truth over fantasy.
On the other hand, we Conservatives believe in Liberty and the Rights of "individual" Humanity and Sovereignty on which this country was foundedrefore, treat ANYONE that hates our beliefs as political OPPONENTS, not ENEMIES (at least until our lives are threatened). That is why we should be alarmed at the new regime that has taken over this country, given their attitude to those they have designated as domestic enemies. They have adopted a new language of deception to redefine ordinary political OPPOSITION as ENEMIES of the State.
I submit the following link as evidence of this "change in the dialog" that should frighten all of us. We should want to know the TRUTH, no mater how painful it may be to accept. There is an old saying from the 50's that circulated in our country when the Nuclear threat from the USSR was discussed, i.e., "Better Red than Dead." Can this be a reality today; given the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) which seems to be interlinked with the new radical Commiecrat Party and the Biden family, in particular?

Where are the establishment Republicans in their (missing) defense of Trump supporters (at least 74 million voters – a Republican record) against the Democrat attacks claiming that these Trump Republicans are "potential terrorists"? Don't they appreciate the loyal Conservatives that worked (in vast numbers with effort and funds) to help secure past Republican victories against the Democrats, specifically the 12 year Bush administrations and in subsequent failed campaigns through the 16 year Clinton and Obama administrations? Don't these establishment Republicans understand that 87% of the Republican base (most recent poll) supported Trump just before he left office?
I think the answer is simple. The establishment Republicans are more loyal to the Washington swamp of the Republican and Democrat "good old boys network" (in collusion with corporate lobbyists) than they are to the hard working voters that have supported them through thick and thin. is the revelation of the TRUE loyalties of establishment Republicans and their hypocrisy that has NOW been revealed to the Republican base in spades. The elephant symbol for the Republican Party members is appropriate in this case since we will never forget how the establishment Republicans refused to defend us against the vicious charges claimed by the Commiecrat Party.

en | N/A | N/A | We know that a lot of you out there have multiple tanks. Perhaps you have one for home and one for the office. Or maybe you keep one for fruity flavors and one for desserts. The only problem with having different tanks is that you have to buy different coils. These Bottom Universal Coils are meant to help you with that.
These are the perfect coils if you have both an Aspire Atlantis and a Sense Herakles. The bottom of the coil was designed so that it could screw into either of these tanks (the Atlantis V1, V2, and Mega are all compatible with these coils). They also work with other tanks that fit Atlantis coils, like the Silo Beast, and any tanks that fit Herakles coils, like the Donner or the Hercules.
If you've got multiple tanks and are tired of buying different coils for each one, give these a shot.
Note: Due to a manufacturing error, these coils may read as .2 - .5 ohm. Please consider this before purchasing - there are no refunds on any coils. |

en | N/A | N/A | Hi Creative friends, Gwen with you back on the blog for the last day of our 25 Days of Christmas blog feature. I have one last Scrapbook layout idea for you, its a special layout about the night before Christmas.
I started the layout by backing the ‘December Title’ cut file in a mix of pattern papers from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio ‘Joyful’ collection. I’ve used the paper stack for this as the prints in the designs are a smaller format to those in the 12×12 sheets. I love how you can see more pattern in the open space of the cut file when working with these sized papers.
I’ve then gone ahead and created my background for the layout and mounted my photo. I’ve then added my signature stitching, I am crushing on this contrasting thread for this collection. |
en | N/A | N/A | I think ions have electric charge over it and radicals have no charge over it ?
is there any uses of ions in chemical reaction ?
Briefly, an ion is, as you suspect, a molecule with a net positive or negative charge, while a (free) radical is a molecule (or fragment thereof) with an unpaired electron.
NH3 (g) + H2O (l) → NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Ions have a charge( either positive or negative) whereas Free Radicals are usually neutral.
Ions have completed their valance shell though chemical[covalent] bonding( either though the octet or duplet rule) while the valance shell of free radicals is incomplete.
Ions have an even number of electrons whereas free radicals have an odd number of electrons.
Ions are represented with a "-" or "+" in the superscript while free radicals have a dot(.) above them for the unpaired electron.
Oops. Did it again. That should have been added as an answer, rather than a comment. Too bad I can't remove, or even edit my comment.
I would state that Br is a free radical because it has an unpaired electron and an equal number of protons and electrons in the valence. Br- is an ion because it has 1 more electron than protons in order to follow the octet rule.
As for your second question, ions are everywhere, and do lots of things. You can use certain ions to scavenge ions from water (through precipitation, such as adding silver ion to tap water to remove chloride ions). Hydrogen ions (or hydronium ions, if you prefer) can be converted to hydrogen gas (and vice versa) through hydrolysis or reaction with metals. Some molecules are good oxidizing or reducing agents, which means they can be quite reactive. For instance, drop a penny in nitric acid (HNO3), and the H+/NO3- combination of ions causes the copper to dissolve (while generating some NO, and ultimately NO2 once the NO reacts with oxygen).
Again, please explain how we can make general statements like "an ion will have an even number of valence electrons" in the face of ions such as Co2+ ([Ar]3d7) and Co3+ ([Ar]3d6). I think that such easy maxims on the parity of electrons in ions, whether in general or just for the valence shell, do not exist. But I could be wrong.
Ions that do not have an even number of valence electrons do exist, but only in rare environments. An O- ion can be created, but it is not stable. |

The Problem of Compliance Writing for FDA-Regulated Companies
Workshop Feedback and Reviews
Writing for Compliance® is the breakthrough workshop training that is FDA-regulated industry’s first and only formal training program devoted to improving FDA and regulatory inspection outcomes through improving writing skills within regulated companies.
Updated and improved for 2016, Writing for Compliance® now provides even more examples, Warning Letter references, exercises and structure for achieving best-in-class compliance-implicated documents. Incorporating extensive input from former FDA Investigators and feedback from prior participants, the program features more exercises, more assistance with “what does good look like” and a new, defined writing process to provide increased consistency and improved outcomes for compliance writing activities.
In over four years of delivering the program to FDA-regulated companies, and with over two hundred mid-to-senior level management personnel having attended, an astonishing 95% stated that the workshop was relevant to the work they currently do, and 94% said they would recommend the workshop to a colleague!
Really enjoyed the session—very much in line with the issues I fight daily. Director of Manufacturing
The new Writing for Compliance® program covers a wide range of topics that are fundamental to writing for regulated industry purposes, including but not limited to:
the one thing you must do to succeed in any FDA or other regulatory inspection;
key principles of writing for regulators as a primary audience;
representing data, statistics, and scientific information;
focus on quality records and inspection-focus documents; and
the incorporation of legal advocacy principles to maximize documents effectiveness.
Material is presented in lecture and through interactive workshop exercises designed to encourage critical thinking, improve writing skills, and highlight the importance of well-crafted documents to FDA compliance outcomes.

The Age-Friendly City Overview
“ .” Gil Penalosa, Executive Director, 8-80 Cities
What does it mean to be a senior citizen? The official definition in most countries is a person who is more than 60 or 65 years old. Beyond that, there is little else that seniors have in common. Today, a revolution in the “culture of aging” is underway, and timeworn notions of the elderly no longer fit. Ocontributing to their communities in myriad ways. But aging can have its challenges. As people get older, they may experience physical and cognitive changes. Loss of mobility, visual and hearing impairments, slowed reflexes, illness, and memory loss are a few examples of changes that can create barriers to independent living and sometimes lead to isolation and loneliness. Because thall children under the age of 14 by 2050framework to help cities become more age-friendly. This entails designing and adapting a city’s natural and built environment to create to homes and public buildings, and health care support and services so tSuch features do not just benefit the elderly, but people of all ages.

en | N/A | N/A | Reverse Mortgage NegativesNegative mortgage reversal
The full paper will describe exactly what a reverse mortgage is. An inverted mortgage is actually a loan that you could take out on the home equity of your real estate. Persons over 62 years are entitled to obtain a mortgage of up to 40% (as long as you don't pay for the house) on the full appraisal of their real estate.
It is not necessary to return the loaned money at any time if you do not choose to move or resell real estate. As a rule, the drawbacks of receiving a reverse mortgage are easy. If you are obliged to reimburse on the house, you must reimburse that to get the finance credit, if you need more than 40%, this is the maximum on the loan, and if you are moving away or selling the real estate, you must reimburse the whole mortgage.
It' s great to take a place and think about each of the pros and cons before you make this kind of important monetary decision. Nevertheless, if you are stuck in a large amount of your own bank account debts, want to find out about payment or perhaps enjoy your pension, this might be a good idea for you. |
en | N/A | N/A | the bridge. This order completed commitment of all the 1171st engineers, for the 146th had only two companies and Company A, 1340th, was engaged in road repair and in occupying captured pillboxes in the 110th Infantry sector to the south. This company was not considered for commitment in the 112th Infantry sector at this time because the extent of the German operation was not known. The enemy might also be threatening on the 110th Infantry front.
Colonel Daley and Colonel Isley arrived in Vossenack to reconnoiter shortly after 1300. Daley was wounded slightly in the leg by shell fragments--not seriously enough to require evacuation. The two engineer commanders made contact at the infantry battalion CP with Captain Pruden, fully in command of the remnants of the 2d Battalion, 112th Infantry, since Colonel Hatzfeld's evacuation. Pruden said he had to have relief within thirty minutes; he could not be responsible for holding the hastily contrived line any longer than thirty minutes with his demoralized force, now reduced to about forty men plus the tank support. Enemy infantry were in full contact. When Colonel Isley said it would take at least one and a half hours to get his men forward, Captain Pruden asked him to hurry, saying he would hang on as best he could.18
After Colonel Daley and Colonel Isley had gone into Vossenack, General Davis came upon Company A, 146th Engineers, moving into its assembly area where it had been directed by Colonel Isley to await further orders. With the company was Maj. Willard B. Baker, 146th S-3, who said General Davis told him: "Go in. Drive the enemy out of the town. Move. Get going."19
Many of the men were still wearing their hip boots from road work and the commanders knew nothing of the Vossenack situation. The company commander, Capt. Sam H. Ball, Jr., issued instructions to his platoon leaders as they moved forward. He sent out several men as a point and told his 1st Platoon under 1st Lt. William J. Kehaly to take the right (south) side of Vossenack's main street, his 2d Platoon under 1st Lt. Kenneth J. Shively to take the left (north), and his 3d Platoon under 1st Lt. William A. Anderson to be in support. Advancing in a column of platoons, one file on either side of the Germeter-Vossenack road, the company entered the western edge of Vossenack and Captain Ball directed the lead platoons to continue to the church and assume defensive positions. He himself reported to the command post of the 2d Battalion, 112th Infantry, with Colonel Daley, Colonel Isley, and Captain Pruden. Because of General Davis' orders and the lack of preliminaries, troops were getting into town in less than the infantry captain's requested half-hour.
As the 1st and 2d Platoons passed the infantry CP, they began to receive harassing rifle fire from the eastern end of Vossenack. Pvt. Doyle W. McDaniel climbed atop a shed roof on the north side of the street in an effort to locate this fire; he jumped down again and landed almost on top of a German, whom he shot. When his platoon reached the crossroads at the church, McDaniel climbed another building in another attempt to spot the enemy riflemen, only to be seen first himself and killed.
The 1st Platoon on the right (south), using "run and duck"ok a It held the church as well, one house beside it on the south, and three houses on the west side of the street leading from the church toward the Kall gorge.20
Company C, 146th Engineers, followed Company A into Vossenack just before dusk. Capt. Vincent L. Wall, the company commander, was directed to take over defense of the north side of the main street, leaving Company A free to defend the south side. Captain Wall and the battalion S-3, Major Baker, went forward to reconnoiter after darkness had already come. As they attempted to go around the eastern side of the church, a German threw a hand grenade at them, wounding Captain Wall. Both officers pretended to be dead until a German rose up, evidently to determine the effect of the grenade, and in so doing silhouetted himself. Rising quickly to one knee, Captain Wall shot the German with his carbine, and the two officers ran back around the corner of the church.
Because of his wounds, Wall turned his company over to 1st Lt. Richard R. Schindler, who then established the Company C platoons in the buildings on the north side of the street--in the order 1st, 2d, 3d--from east to west. All platoons
of Company A then shifted to the south side of the street.21
Meanwhile about thirty-five men of Company B, 20th Engineers, who had withdrawn that morning from Vossenack upon Captain Lutz's order, had been assembled near Germeter and were ordered by General Davis to assist the Vossenack defense. Tying in with the defense of the 146th Engineers, they went into position south of Vossenack and west of the crossroads where a wooded draw pointed finger-like toward the town from the south.
After the arrival of Company A, 146th Engineers, in Vossenack, Colonel Daley had continued back toward Germeter, met General Davis, and explained the disposition of his command. When General Davis objected to the decision to send the two companies of the 1340th Engineers to the bridge area before reinforcing Vossenack, Colonel Daley radioed the 1340th column to turn back. But, he discovered, Company C, 1340th, had already reached the bridge. He then ordered Colonel Setliffe, the battalion commander, to leave whatever force he felt was necessary to hold the bridge and return the remainder of the two companies to Vossenack. Setliffe decided that all of Company C was necessary to hold the bridge.
Colonel Daley next telephoned General Cota and reported the situation. General Cota directed the 1171st commander to take command of all troops in Vossenack and to assume responsibility for defense of the town. Since the 1340th Engineers seemed to have control of the bridge area and the 146th seemed adequate for the defense of Vossenack, Colonel Daley set up two command groups, one under Colonel Isley controlling all troops in Vossenack and one under Colonel Setliffe controlling all in the bridge and Kall trail area.22
The 1340th column had moved out about noon for the Kall valley. The two platoons of Company A, 20th Engineers, dropped off at their former defensive bivouac at the entrance of the main supply route into the gorge. Company B, 1340th, had started out somewhat later than Company C, and reached only the Company A, 20th, positions when Colonel Daley's radio message instructed it to go back to Vossenack. While the men of the company dug in near Company A, 20th, their commanders went to Vossenack and talked with Colonel Isley, who now was in over-all command of troops in the town. Even though the positions now being occupied by Company B, 1340th, were not very satisfactory, it was decided that the men should remain in them rather than find new ones in the dark. Next day offered the possibility of improvement.
In the meantime Company C, 1340th, with approximately ninety-two men and five officers, had reached the Kall bridge without fighting and was in a defensive position by about 1830. The 3d Platoon under 2d Lt. Jack H. Baughn and one squad of the 1st Platoon crossed the bridge and dug in east of the river; the 2d Platoon on the west bank dug in near the bridge and the Kall trail, facing generally
northeast in a platoon perimeter defense. The remaining two squads of the 1st Platoon dug in south of the 2d but still north of the bridge, facing generally south and southwest. The company had six machine guns, nine bazookas, and its usual complement of M-1 rifles.

These are random signals of thermal origin or simply unwanted signals coupled into the circuit. Noise is usually described by its frequency content, but that is a more advanced topic.
But this circuit involves a capacitor as well as a resistor, whereas Ohm’s Law only applies to resistors. A similar result occurs when we analyze circuits that involve inductors. It turns out that it is possible to generalize Ohm’s Law to include capacitors and inductors on equal footing with resistors. To do this, we introduce the concept of impedance. Impedance is a generalization of resistance that applies to resistors, capacitors, and inductors alike. Generally, the impedance of a component or circuit is a complex number, and we use the symbol Zˆ to denote it. |

en | N/A | N/A | Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show, Comedy Central says show will ‘endure for years’
February 10, 2015 Rodrigo Torrejon 2 Comments Comedy Central, daily show, jon stewart
Just when you thought your day was going great, the world drops some sad news on us. In what is a pretty big surprise and a resounding bummer, Jon Stewart has abruptly announced that he will be stepping down from The Daily Show. According to A.V. Club, Stewart broke the news of his retirement to the audience at the taping of tonight’s episode. Many conjecture that the move is made in light of his recent turn as a serious director with Rosewater, but details regarding his departure are sparse as of yet.
Comedy Central released a statement confirming Stewart’s announcement shortly after, thanking him for his 17 years as host and stating that Stewart will end his hosting duties later on in the year. Though the statement says The Daily Show “will endure for years to come” it’s not entirely clear if that means the show will continue without Stewart or if Comedy Central is simply saying that no future similar shows will be able to match The Daily Show‘s impact on the media. The full statement from Comedy Central is below:
In other news, we also released a statement confirming we will be locked in our rooms curled up in the fetal position, sobbing uncontrollably. Much love for the veteran host of The Daily Show and best of luck.

Deacon of Saragossa, and Martyr, 304
Deacon of Saragossa and Martyr in 304.
Very little is known about his life, other than:
· Born and raised in Huesca, northern Spain, and ordained by Bishop Valerius, of Saragossa.
· Early in the 4th century, all Christians were under persecution by Roman emperors Diocletian and Maximian.
· The Governor of Spain had Valerius and Vincent arrested and imprisioned in Valencia.
· One legend recounts that Valerius had a speech impediment and so Vincent became the preacher on his behalf.
· When they were arrested, they were challenged to renounce their faith.
· It is said that”
·
·d.
· d
· Valerius was exiled, but the angry Governor ordered that Vincent be tortured.
the scripture that exhorts us to
“… in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord.
someone shoulda told me in advance
that it would be so hard to account for my faith.
Although the Baptismal Covenant
to renounce Satan the powers of evil in the world
even as we claim Jesus as our Lord and Savior,
Instead, the covenant asks,
“Will you proclaim by word and example
a well thought-out answer?
will you speak or will you remain silent?
Our gospel lesson today says it just as directly:
“…everyone who acknowledges me
the Son of Man also will acknowledge
but whoever denies me
before others will be denied
If it is difficult to account for your faith,
And we are called to do so, which is why God gives us the inner strength to do so
Has it ever happened to you
that you have been confronted to explain
the “reason for the hope that is in you”?
when looking for a field education site
where I would work for a year,
that you hold in your heart
that guides your inner spiritual life |
en | N/A | N/A | It gets problematic when fannibals are so married to their vision of a character derived from either the show or the source material that they regard any deviation as a betrayal on an epic scale. I really don't get that. Isn't it more interesting to compare our interpretations with one other, the source material and the show; and question why our version of the character is so different?I mean, how many shows have there ever been tha invite such vigorous thought & discussion?
I peeped into the Hannibal tags and I think...
Actually, we haven't seen freddie killed, onscreen or off. We see will attacking freddie (not in self defense, but she did make the first move by shooting at him!
Meanwhile, hannibal is shown rather predictably waiting for freddie in his murder suit. She is probably alive because of will's attack on her which i think was staged for that very purpose. But how long did anyone think freddie could live in the same space as a guy like hannibal anyway. We thought she had been turned into pork loin two episodes in, ffs!
I like to make note of which food products advertise during the show and silently applaud them. (Though even Hannibal won't get me to the Olive Garden...
