Upper Mustang Trek is located beyond the great Himalayan range in the western part of Nepal. Apart from exploring the Himalayas and the arid but beautiful landscapes, Upper Mustang Trek provides the trekkers with the opportunity to observe the ancient Buddhist and Tibetan culture, still prevalent in the region. The major attractions of the Upper Mustang Trek are undoubtedly the ancient monasteries, some of them very old, the artistic caves and the barren lands and the mountains that lie scattered in the region. The culture at Upper Mustang is a beautiful mixture of Tibetan and Buddhist traditions. In the past, it used to be an independent state with a separate King ruling the region. Lo-Manthang is still considered as the Kingdom of upper Mustang.\nThe existing culture of the people of the Upper Mustang region greatly resembles to the Tibetan cultures exercised by the Buddhists. Going to the upper Mustang as part of the trek is one of the great ways to experience the old charm of the Himalayan mountain deserts.

The DVD, which was shown during a recent meeting of the County Commissioners, will be shown in local schools. Dates are already set to show the video at Allegany and Fort Hill High schools. The concern over the use of bath salts and synthetic marijuana and related drugs has been growing as both public health and public safety threats.

The two schools of thought take this idea to different conclusions; Austrian economics advocates for far less government in recessions, whereas MMT advocates for greater deficit spending in recessions.\n\nBasing my conclusions on the disastrous austerity contractions of the Bruning Chancellery, as well as contemporary Ireland and Greece, I have already railed quite strongly against the concept of austerity during a recession. Readers have (understandably) been quite sceptical. The position I am taking puts me in line with Professor Krugman, and various other Keynesian characters. And I agree that every dollar spent by the government must be taken out of the economy in taxation. And, government spending is often (but not always) plagued with problems such as regulatory capture, mismanagement and malinvestment.\n\nBut the evidence is clear \u2014 heavily indebted nations that slash spending and (as in the case of Greece today) raise taxes to \u201cpay down debt\u201d" -"\u201cThe responsibility of the crisis: the greed of a few and the lack of controls from whom should control them, the representatives of the people and the toxic journalism that reports the reality only in terms of the media corporations\u2019 political and economic interest\u201d.\n\nSuch is Bauluz\u2019s view of the current media crisis.\n\nHe then describes a picture well-known to anyone who has ever worked in big media: \u201cThere are more and more tired journalists, many hostages in their newsrooms, doing and saying what they\u2019re told\u201d.\n\nWith this perspective in mind, Bauluz thinks that the only solution to reconstruct journalism is for groups of colleagues to get together and organise online, supported by citizens, foundations and philanthropists.

The attorney is or will be compensated according to statutorily determined probate fees.\n\nPart of the probate estate includes real property which the attorney is instructed to sell. As a result, the attorney contacts a real estate broker to list the property for sale. However, the attorney demands that the broker pay the attorney a \"referral\" fee in return for the attorney's agreement to retain the broker. The broker's fee to the attorney is not disclosed to the executor or the court.\n\n1. May the attorney ethically demand the payment of the referral fee by the broker as a prerequisite to retention of the broker?\n\n2. To what extent is the attorney's receipt of a referral fee affected by disclosure of the fee to either the executor or the court?\n\nII\nSUMMARY\n\n1. No. The demand raises an unavoidable conflict of interest between the lawyer and his client.\n\n2. Acceptance and disclosure of a referral fee does not cure the conflict and is not the proper procedure to be paid for these services.

The idea behind MSMTs is to provide spanning trees that minimize the costs of edge traversals in a Markovian manner, that is, in terms of the path starting with the root of the tree and ending at the vertex under consideration. In a second part, the chapter generalizes this class of spanning trees in order to allow for damped Markovian effects in the course of spanning. These two effects - that is, (i) the sensitivity to the contexts generated by consecutive edges and (ii) the decreasing impact of more antecedent (or \"weakly remembered\") vertices - are well-known in cognitive modeling (Gaerdenfors, 2000; Kintsch, 1998; Murphy, 2002; Sharkey and Sharkey, 1992}. In this sense, the chapter can also be read as an effort to introduce a graph-model to support the simulation of cognitive systems.

SoundDance, a two-disc set of concert recordings released to celebrate his 80th birthday, shows once again the depth and breadth of his responses to a broad and constantly changing sonic environment.\n\nThe first disc pairs Abrams with the late tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson, a long-time friend of Abrams with whom precious few duo documents exist. This may be Anderson\u2019s last concert recording, and it is a powerful one. Their four-part suite, \u201cFocus through Time \u2026 Time,\u201d works as a connected whole and in microcosm. It encompasses the arch-like and fluid forms associated with a lot of freely improvised music, and yet there is significant back and forth that breeds worlds of detail. Introspective pauses abound and vie with passages of high energy, creating rhapsodic music that never loses its focus. When I saw Anderson at the 2008 Vision festival, his playing was being compared to late Coltrane, and it seems clear that Anderson\u2019s tightly wound" -"LA Fashion Photographer Video Channel on Vimeo\n\nZOOMONME is one of the greatest modeling and photography studio galleries online featuring some of Shaun Alexander\u2019s most recent discoveries and new models by presenting their headshots, modeling portfolios, zed cards or videos.\nEstablished in 1999, ZOOMONME was created due to Shaun\u2019s love and passion to help and seek fresh talent, showcasing and upholding his newest finds and talent as a Los Angeles photographer internationally through his substantial connections in the modeling and film industry.\n\nModeling portfolios\n\nPortfolios for Fashion Models and Actors\n\nThe website embodies a perfect collaboration between his two passions, \u201cphotography\u201d and \u201cdiscovering new faces\u201d and at the same time helping those young Hollywood hopefuls with the right tools, guidance and expertise.\nShaun\u2019s exceptional style has been acclaimed and celebrated by his contemporaries and he has earned the respect of many famous personalities.

You have a large number of followers as well, right? People follow your brands on social media primarily because they like your brand. As simple as that!

Since its launch, it's grown and evolved and so have I as a teacher, writer, and a coach.\n\nThis blog is not just for those searching for spirituality. Nor is it specifically for corporate suits curious about meditation.

He's been around a while, and he has some views on the Bible that may disturb many. However, I'm not trying to discuss that right now. I want to discuss his opinion on how African-Americans should be identifying in America. He says that identifying as negro, colored, African-American, or black has done nothing in the pass but keep us subjected to white supremacy. I said myself that I thought we should move away from identifying as black because of the potential it has of dividing dark-skin and light-skin, and every shade in between, if you can define the shade in between. Even if some of this goes on in our subconscious, that whole mindset falls under the effects of white supremacy, therefore I agree with Dr. Williams in this regard.

The gameplay introduces a challenging balance of collecting stars and powerups while optimizing fuel and dodging obstacles. Gameplay switches between calm and stormy skies to add even more variety, and as you fly higher, storms become more frequent and longer, while powerups and fuel become more rare. Stars can be collected throughout the game and used to unlock new balloon characters from a wide selection of cute designs, each with their own personalities. The game is rendered beautifully in a Disney inspired art style, full of rich colors and effects that pop. The animation and physics are fluid and really give the impression of soaring through the clouds.

The player controls the testosterone-pumped commander P. Jefferson, the space pilot of the USS Eradicator, who sets out to destroy X, the Supreme Alien God Emperor, and bring peace to the universe. Along the way he is accompanied by Edgar IV, the ship's British, sentient navigation system. The space ship can freely move around the screen while the background scenery scrolls vertically and many waves of enemies need to be defeated. There is a basic weapon with double cannons, different special weapons and an overdrive function. Between missions there are static cut-scenes showing the characters with voice-acting.\n\nInstead of a linear path, the game offers a map with sixteen levels that are mostly available right away, divided over two zones. There is a recommended path as a difficulty level is shown for each stage, but it is also possible to play them in any order. Generally there are two types of missions: ten side missions to earn upgrades and experience, and six story missions that end in a boss battle with the ability to assimilate the boss weapon afterwards.

As a big-block, the 383\u2019s displacement isn\u2019t nearly as small as the 350 or 361 cubic-inch B-series engines produced by Chrysler in the early days of the big-block, but it\u2019s also not nearly as large as the popular 440 engine either. When the Chrysler Corporation decided to add the 906 cylinder heads and high-performance 440 camshaft to the 383 for the 1968 model year, the engine immediately became a hit among enthusiasts of the era. Installed in the Plymouth Road Runner and Dodge Superbee, this engine easily propelled these B-Bodies to low 14 second quarter-mile times at trap speeds of more than 100 mph. And with a little work, the 383 could go deep into the 13s and still be much more drivable than the optional Hemi.\n\nWith a 4.250-inch bore size, a size coincidentally shared with the famous 426 Hemi, and a 3.380-inch stroke, the 383 is somewhat of a small- to mid-size big-block, and takes advantage of the best attributes of both big- and small-block V-8s.

It began about 2500 B.C. and largely disappeared in the 1400's B.C. Historians once thought that the Minoan civilization ended after Crete was devastated by an earthquake, a tidal wave, and volcanic ash after a massive volcanic eruption on the island of Thera. This view is no longer held by most historians, who now speculate that Achaean invaders from the mainland may have destroyed the civilization.\n\nIn 1900, the British archeologist Arthur Evans unearthed the palace of the king at the ancient city of Knossos on Crete. Further discoveries on Crete and excavations on Thera beginning in 1967 revealed much about Minoan life and culture.\n\nFrescoes, pottery, and metalwork show that the chief deity of the Minoans was a mother-goddess. Her favorite sacrificial victim was the bull. The national sport was a form of bullfighting. The palace had an intricate arrangement of floors, rooms, and passageways, and a remarkably modern plumbing system, including flushing toilets. The Minoans wrote on tablets in hieroglyphs and in two forms of script: Linear A and, later, Linear B. In 1952, Linear B was found to" -"Some blog. Some jam.

In the old days, a surety was an individual. This individual would provide their word on behalf of another and, if that other person did something improper, the first party would provide recompense to the party harmed.

If the rancher would then default, say by selling those cattle and gambling away the funds, the shopkeeper would pay the banker back all of the funds.\n\nThis evolved over time to the corporate arena. That is, it was more than just guaranteeing the \u201cJim\u201d did what he was supposed to do. Instead, the surety would be guaranteeing the performance of a company.

We really did. Scott was making fun of me because I kept singing \"Yankee Doodle\" to Harper all day. I have a list of songs that I sing to her daily and I feel like she might be getting tired of them so I broke out a whole NEW collection last week in honor of our nation's birth......\"this land is your land\", \"america the beautiful\" and even \"Proud to be an american\" but she REALLY liked Yankee Doodle.\n\nHarper spent most of her day being held by her grandparents. For some reason - Scott's mom kept avoiding the camera so I don't have any pictures of her but she was very helpful - holding Harper and loving on her.Most of the day was rainy and cloudy and YUCK and then in late afternoon - it turned out beautiful - just in time for cookouts and fireworks!

It's a love affair to be written about as in the steamiest of romance novels. (You know, if those were about food, instead of people.) Barbacoa is full of flavor and so simple to make.

I read a fair number of mainstream obits/tributes last night (I\u2019ve so far avoided SF sites and fanpages) and none seem to get it right. I do, however, know what they get wrong. A number of writers, most memorably to me this writer at Slate who professes to be a \u201csci-fi nerd\u201d (and has issues with how to use \u201chowever\u201d properly), are falling over themselves trying to distance Bradbury from science fiction as a genre.

Ambition is necessary, in public as in private life, but sometimes ambition can be ugly to see and distorting to the soul. Just think of how people sometimes use the term \u201cambition\u201d negatively or sarcastically: \u201cMy goodness, he is certainly ambitious!\u201d\n\nThis is preface for taking in the sad decline of New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. Booker was, by most accounts, a sensible mayor of Newark. You may also recall that back in 2012 he departed the liberal reservation by defending Mitt Romney against the Obama campaign\u2019s attacks on Romney\u2019s business career, calling those attacks \u201cnauseating.\u201d (He got taken to the leftist woodshed for a whipping for that tergiversation.) And I once saw him up close and in person with a small group of business leaders where he talked sense about the debilitating role the teachers\u2019 unions play in public education, and several other issues.\n\nBut now it appears ambition has taken hold of Booker\u2019s soul, and it is sad to see, though completely understandable.

In 1741 he and another government supporter, whom he had put up for the second Milborne Port seat, were returned after a contest; but when faced with a petition, which in the state of the House might have led to the loss of both seats, he agreed to vacate his own seat by temporarily taking an office of profit, leaving one of his opponents to be returned unopposed.3 He was re-elected for the next Parliament, towards the end of which he was drawing a secret service pension of \u00a3600 a year. The rest of his political career is that of a parliamentary beggar, perpetually in financial difficulties, partly due to the cost of maintaining his interest at Milborne Port.4 On his death, 21 July 1763, his estate passed to his nephew, Thomas Hutchings, who assumed the name and arms of Medlycott and succeeded him as Member for the borough." -"When ageing media mogul Rupert Murdoch sat down for an interview with Paul Kelly in May, he demonstrated not only his own weakness, but also the flaws in Australian democracy.

There are several types of income, and each has it\u2019s own advantages and disadvantages. Of these there is earned income, residual income, leveraged income and passive income. In this article we will be discussing residual income and it\u2019s benefits as well as it\u2019s drawbacks.\n\nFirst, what exactly is residual income? Residual income is income you gain by doing something once and then receiving profits from it over and over again without your needing any further effort on your part. We are all accustomed to doing work once and then getting paid for the work we do. For instance, in a traditional job you work eight hours and get paid once for those eight hours. Residual income is like working eight hours, and instead of getting paid once, you get paid for those same eight hours again and again.\n\nResidual incomes can be and often are less per payment than earned incomes. Generally, the commissions earned on one time sales are often larger than commissions earned on sales of products that require renewals and maintenance.

Their rise has clearly caught the eye of the CJC.\n\nThe report\u2019s principal recommendation is that the government set up an online court service known as \u201cHM Online Court\u201d (HMOC). This would allow individuals to settle civil cases with a value of \u00a325,000 or less. A full launch of such a service could happen as early as 2017.\n\nOne of the report\u2019s visions for HMOC includes the appointment of Online Judges \u2013 full-time and part-time members of the judiciary who could pass judgment on cases via the web.

They retreat to their bedrooms, where they have pictures on the walls, stuffed animals on the beds and bottles and tubes of cosmetics on the dresser.\n\nThere are a few signs that this is not a traditional family home. The girls and adults have separate entrances. The snack cabinet is locked, as is a medicine cabinet whose contents are handed out by a medical professional. And the adults who ask, \"How was your day?\" are paid staff members." -"Ronaldinho has revealed that the key to his resurgence in form at AC Milan has been his off-field happiness.\n\nThe Brazilian netted an impressive hat-trick in Milan's 4-0 victory over Siena, a result that saw the Rossoneri close the gap on league leaders Inter to three points, with a game in hand and a clash with the reigning champions later this month.\n\nAnd Ronaldinho, who has now netted six goals in his past three games, admitted his delight at rediscovering the sort of form form that saw him crowned FIFA World Player of the Year in 2004/2005.\n\n\"I feel the love and so I am happy,\" he told Sky Italia. \"I step on to the field happy and everything goes smoothly from there.\n\n\"I don't know if we will win the Scudetto, but we just need to keep playing well and having fun.\"\n\nRonaldinho scored his debut Serie A goal against Inter and will be hoping to find the net again when the two teams meet in next week's Derby della Madonnina, with calls growing louder for him to be included in Brazil's World Cup squad." -"New York\n\nAllison Schulnik\u2019s previous exhibitions employed theatrical settings to display her stop-motion animations, ceramics, paintings, and drawings. Here, she narrows the focus to her two-dimensional output. Her heavily impastoed narrative paintings, which possess the same physicality and rawness of her works in clay, warrant the attention.\n\nThe exhibition\u2019s title, \u201cHoof II,\u201d alludes to Schulnik\u2019s training as a dancer, as well as to the central role unicorns and centaurs occupy in the show. With their suggestive horns and erections, Schulnik\u2019s unicorns are decidedly male, though their eyes are depicted as vaginal forms, perhaps reflecting their carnal desire. Developed from a group of small gouaches made in 2015, her female centaurs are dubbed \u201ccentaurettes,\u201d a term likely borrowed from Disney\u2019s 1940 film Fantasia, a clear touchstone for Schulnik\u2019s subversive and darkly erotic vision.

He has covered just over 13 of the 26.2 miles he must complete.\n\n\"People say I must be mad to do it, and they're right - I have been mad from the start,\" said Mr Scott, who ran a marathon in Jordan last year dressed as Indiana Jones.\n\n\"I knew as soon as I took the first step last year that it was a terrible mistake, but I saw it through.

The companies involved in the palm oil supply chain have to be aware of the issues that sit side by side this industry, linked to major controversies including deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, indigenous rights abuses including labor exploitation and cruelty to animals. This, of courses, happens in the countries where the palm oil is produced, because the land and forests must be cleared for the development of palm plantations.\n\nAs the use of palm oil in food products exploded \u2013 because of the high yield of the trees leading to wider cultivation in some of the world\u2019s most vulnerable tropical habitats, like Indonesia and Malaysia \u2013 countless hectares of forest get cleared to make space for oil-palm monoculture.\n\nOn top of the loss of precious land, the natural habitat of endangered species of orangutan (the Sumatran orangutan is listed as \u201ccritically endangered\u201d) is being destroyed.\n\nThat\u2019s a lot for one industry to take on board." -"Game Fire 4.0.622\n\nPut all your PC's resources at the disposal of your games, with just one click.\n\nGame Fire is an original and very useful freeware, open source, which you'll definitely appreciate if you use your computer to play games, in addition to other things.

The fallout from the tragic incident is far from over as Russia\u2019s decision to supply Syria with S-300 missile defence systems has led to condemnation from the US, worry from an Israeli government that seeks to continue to enhance its security partnership with Russia, joy from Syria and its traditional regional allies, while the true feelings of Russian policy markers regarding the S-300s are not fully known.\n\nBut just as timing is everything in comedy, the same seems to apply in tragic situations.

It is soft yet strong enough to use in 6 different carries including three front ties, hip carry, back carry and a pregnancy support wrap. The design of the 4D fabric allows the Ergobaby Wrap to safely carry your baby on your back unlike regular stretch wraps.\n\nMy Chiropractic Opinion on the Ergobaby Wrap\n\nUsing the wrap techniques shown for the Ergobaby Wrap, it is very ergonomic for both baby and wearer. Baby is held in nice and close to the wearer, ensuring that there is no excess strain on the wearers shoulders and back.\n\nAlso baby is held in an ergonomic M-posture whereby their knees are higher than their hips and spine is held in a C-curve which is important for newborns and small babies under 6 months.\n\nNegatives\n\nQuite thick, so maybe warm to use in summer, but would be great in the cooler months.\n\nYou need a second person to assist you when using the back" -"Monday, May 23, 2011\n\nI have a love of music - I always have, and I always will. If I am having a lousy day, nothing can make me feel better than listening to some good music. I can move between a lovely concerto; to hip hop; to big band. Regardless if it's Eric Clapton, Mtume, Kenny G, Maxwell, Rod Stewart, Kanye, Tu Pac, Carrie Carpenter, U2, Van Halen, Cyndi Lauper, George Michael, Kelly Clarkson; the list is endless, because I simply appreciate music and all the aspects of it.\n\nDuring this time of year I start looking for the outdoor concerts and seeing which ones may fit my tightly packed schedule. The summertime makes me want to be outside, so I am fond of venues where the concerts are held out doors, and the closer to the beach or wine country they are - the better. California is flush with concerts throughout the year, but one of the big ones is the Playboy Jazz Festival, held at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. If you've ever been to this concert, you know that it's a cornucopia of top performers in the jazz industry.

The proportion of polygenomic infections was high overall (41.6%, 122/293) and increased (p=0.052) in 2015 (46.4%, 77/166) when compared to 2013 (35.3%, 48/136).

While many ideas about masculinity have been challenged and undermined, too little effort has been invested (by men, first and foremost) in fostering healthy aspects of maleness and reimagining unhealthy ones. The contemporary understanding of gender has generated a great deal of angst and a host of questions for men and boys. It was, therefore, with a mixture of keen interest and mild trepidation that I attended the event Man Up: Understanding Masculinity on Sunday afternoon at Christ Church Cathedral. What would be said, and in what tone?\n\nAdrian Harewood of CBC Ottawa hosted the event and opened by speaking of a contemporary reckoning for negative aspects of masculinity via his own past admiration for Bill Cosby, then invited his guests to read from their respective books. Rachel Giese spoke of the so-called \u201cman box,\u201d shorthand for masculinity defined in terms of seven commonly-accepted characteristics, and how many men are reclaiming such \u201cmasculine markers\u201d as a response to an uncertain cultural landscape around maleness.

A giddy, energetic, lovable presence that can change the energy on any given day.\n\nDogs learn the ways of the trail: the ever-changing scenery, people, and circumstances. Live outside for 4-5 months? Many dogs are bred for it. No two dogs are the same, so they\u2019ll approach a big hike in different ways.\nSadly, most aren\u2019t cut out for the long haul, even though they may love it. It takes a special dog to be able to keep motivated and physically fit on a distance hike. Working breeds seem to have the ethic and stamina to enjoy the daily task of walking and protecting their person everyday.\n\nPhoto credit: @effiedrew\n\nUp to this point, my dog Luna has logged over 4,000 miles on long distance trails with me.

When every dollar spent has to equal a sale, it can be difficult to justify doing video marketing, or any \u201cBranding\u201d marketing efforts at all. However, there are many excellent reasons why start-ups should make video marketing one of their key tactics.\n\nTop Reasons Why Start-ups Should Do Video Marketing\n\nVideo can elevate perception of your brand.\n\nOne of the biggest challenges start-ups often face is seeming equal to more established competitors. Most people have no idea how much it costs to make a video and assume that it is expensive. Therefore, producing a well-made video makes it seem as though you have a large marketing budget and the sales to support it. Pair your video with one or two testimonials from big clients, and suddenly you seem much more established.\n\nVideo is not as expensive as you think.\n\nAlthough video seems expensive, it certainly doesn\u2019t have to be. Large companies often spend 10\u2019s or even 100\u2019s of thousands of dollars on videos. However, if you have a clear idea and choose an independent video production" -"Graveside services for Guy L.

Academics post their proposed research with a budget goal, and ask the public to fund projects that most appeal to them, side stepping the often lengthy process of applying for grant money through academic channels.\n\nCritics of the scientific research crowdfunding model argue that the denominations earned from crowdfunding on sites like Microryza and Petridish add up to only small change--and they might be right.

I have a Sony digital 8 Handycam that I am loathe to get rid of as it takes good quality film. However I can't view any film on the PC for editing etc. Someone has suggested that I need a 'Firewire' connection.

Many businesses are slowly learning how lucrative the market can be. According to MuslimVillage.com, this market is worth over $5 billion globally.\n\nRecently, however, no beauty product has much of a stir as Inglot's O2M nail polish.\n\nA background -- Nail polish is an oft disputed topic in many Muslim circles. Over the years, many scholars have been in consensus that prayer can't be performed while wearing nail polish, as the required ablution (or wudu) is not done properly of water does not reach every part of the body. Nail polish is seen to preclude this, as it does not allow water to get to the nails.\n\nThe issue has been contentious among many Muslim women. Some stopped wearing nail polish altogether. Many choose to wear it only during their menstrual period, when they aren't praying. Still, others continue to wear it, citing that they don't see it as a big deal.\n\nWhat's revolutionary about the Inglot nail polish isn't the polish itself, but rather, the dialogue that has" -"Benefits of strength training\n\nResearch with Cerebral Palsy kids\n\nDr. John K.

This is something that is not well understood in the West.

It was founded in Baltimore in 1837 by A.S. Abell as a four-page tabloid. Abell dedicated The Sun to printing the news without regard to its editors\u2019 prejudices, and within a year its circulation exceeded 12,000. It began as a penny paper aimed at a mass audience, but as it developed, The Sun came to be directed especially to a serious, intellectual, and issue-oriented readership. Its growth was slow but solid, as Abell rejected the prevailing wisdom that a newspaper should be a mouthpiece for a political party and held instead to an independent political line.\n\nThrough much of its history, The Sun has excelled at coverage of national and international news, at the same time placing less emphasis on local news. The Sun compiled an outstanding record in covering the Mexican War of 1846\u201348, in one famous instance reporting the fall of Vera Cruz (1847) before official tidings of the event reached the U.S. government.

Game Informer and Ubisoft later confirmed that this was true with two shots of our hooded hero standing in front of a Colonial era American flag. Pretty cool eh? Still, this only brings more questions. What will the story be about? What new gameplay elements will be introduced now that the setting has changed to the New World? We don't know for sure, but we can certainly speculate.\n\nLet's start by looking at what our new hero is carrying on his body. The recently released Game Informer cover includes a perfect shot of both the front and back of our protagonist as he stands atop a snowy hill. He carries a small hand-axe in one hand and a single-shot flintlock pistol in his other. Strapped to his back is a second holster filled with another flintlock pistol. People used to carry dual flintlocks in order to fire two shots quickly by holding one gun in each hand.

If someone leaves a treatment program and doesn\u2019t continue to work on their sobriety, they could relapse.\n\nProcrastination is not just putting off things you need to do; it can be the act of putting less important things over the things you should be doing. For example, a student might put off working on a term paper and choose to play his guitar all evening. Not turning in a paper will have a harsher consequence than not practicing chords. The student could get a bad grade and possibly fail the class. The consequence of not playing guitar that night is just missing a few hours of practice.\n\nSomeone just out of a Wilmington NC alcohol rehab and drug treatment program may know that it\u2019s important to attend support" -"As always, we\u2019re wrapping up our look at a video card\u2019s stock performance with a look at power, temperature, and noise.

Scientists believe embryo fossils are actually a bacterial \"sculpture \" -- a vestige of the embryos' destruction\nview more\n\nCredit: F.R. Turner, E.C. Raff, and R.A. Raff\n\nBLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Bacterial decay was once viewed as fossilization's mortal enemy, but new research suggests bacterial biofilms may have actually helped preserve the fossil record's most vulnerable stuff -- animal embryos and soft tissues.\n\nA team of 13 scientists led by Indiana University Bloomington biologists Rudolf and Elizabeth Raff found that the invasion of dying embryo cells by bacteria -- and the subsequent formation of densely packed bacterial biofilms inside the embryo cells -- can completely replace embryo cell structure, generating a faithful replica of the embryo. The scientists call this formation a \"pseudomorph,\" a model of the embryo made of bacteria. Their report will appear online via the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences \"Early Edition\" as early as Nov. 24.\n\n\"The bacteria consume and replace all the cytoplasm in the cells, generating a little sculpture of the embryo,\" said Elizabeth Raff, the report's lead author. \"We did find, however," -"IoT pushes wireless MCU developers to create devices with more processing power\n\nPowered by a PSoC 6, the Oura Ring captures the user's biometric data, which can be transmitted using Bluetooth\n\nThe demands of the IoT are pushing wireless MCU developers to create devices with more processing power, a range of connectivity options and ultra low power consumption.\n\nAs the Internet of Things becomes more of a reality, products for a wide range of applications are appearing that offer the required connectivity.

That's the multi-million-dollar koan Netflix is looking to answer. And fast.\n\nEarlier this week Netflix debuted Lilyhammer, its first original series. Yet there was no premiere episode. It went online Monday morning, almost at random and without much fanfare, the day after the Super Bowl. The series has not been promoted on Netflix.com's homepage, nor in its apps. Lilyhammer, with a grimacing Steve Van Zandt on its cover tile, isn't even found in the \"new arrivals\" section for TV shows.\n\nAnd maybe that's because Lilyhammer isn't a television show. The series was designed for the web, part of a larger original content strategy to compete with networks such as HBO. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has said the company will spend as much as 15% of its content budget on original streaming content; to produce House of Cards, for example, Netflix is reportedly sinking $100 million into the new David Fincher-helmed series. Lilyhammer, the first result of Netflix's new licensing game plan, demonstrates what a radical departure the show is from traditional television\u2014not only in the" -"Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Free Trial starts Dec 15, ends Dec 20\n\nActivision has announced that a Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Free Trial is coming starting December 15 at 10AM PT and ending on December 20 at 10AM PT.

Although well-intended, this push largely ignores free speech and due process rights in its apparently single-minded focus on protecting students from sexual violence, harassment, or bullying.\n\nA central example of this overzealousness is the federal Tyler Clementi Higher Education Anti-Harassment Act.

See More +Sub-Saharan Africa is in the midst of a power crisis marked by insufficient generating capacity, unreliable supplies, high prices, and low rates of popular access to the electricity grid. The region's capacity for generating power is lower than that of any other world region, and growth in that capacity has stagnated. The average price of power in Sub-Saharan Africa is double that of other developing regions, but supply is unreliable. Because new household connections in many countries are not keeping up with population growth, the electrification rate, already low, is actually declining. The manifestations of the current crisis are symptoms of deeper problems that are explored in this study of power sector institutions in 24 countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, which draws extensively on a new body of research undertaken as part of the multi-donor Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD).

Jansen, PhD\n\nFritz Perls, a gestalt psychotherapist, used to ask patients who complained of being chronically depressed to make a detailed list of exactly how they were keeping themselves that way. His idea was that human emotions normally change continually; so if someone experiences any emotional state for very long they must be really working to maintain it by suppressing the other emotions which would have happened naturally.\n\nOf course, his patients used to complain about having to do this exercise, but it was amazingly effective. Perls felt that we are usually more responsible for our predicaments than we realize; and by taking responsibility for the way we are rather than blaming it onto someone else we take the necessary first step toward improving ourselves. The utility that this conceptual reversal generates in this and other gestalt exercises is analogous, I believe, to the leverage that newtonian physics creates: Aristotle had conceived of physical objects as static, at rest, unless forced to move. Newton conceptually reversed this idea and conceived of objects as continuing to move unless restrained.\n\nA popular notion these days in chiropractic circles is that significant research has not happened because the" -"The 4th XLIFF Symposium will take place on June 11-12 2013, in London, UK,\nand it will be BIG due to its official collocation with Localization World, London 2013!\n\nThis year, the traditionally successful XLIFF Symposium will be for the second time integrated as a Track in FEISGILTT, a new Federated Event dedicated to Interoperability Standardization in Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, and Translation Technologies.

The Prestige Cosmetics display was conveniently next to the NYX Cosmetics one, so I took a look and ended up purchasing their primer to try (which I ended up liking a lot). I picked this shadow up for $8.49 at Ulta a couple weeks ago. I had been intrigued by this particular shade for several months, but for some reason never purchased it. Now that I have it, I wonder why the heck I didn\u2019t buy it sooner!\n\nHocus Pocus can be be described as a duo-chrome shadow with a red-brown undertone and shimmery blue/teal overtone. It could be considered a dupe for both the Blue Brown pigment by MAC and the shade Girly in the Too Faced Everything Nice palette that came out this past Christmastime.\n\nHow gorgeous is this?!\n\nSo this shadow is wicked pigmented. We\u2019re talking pigmentation out the wazoo!

A great question! Not always an easy answer.\n\nIn this situation you may have a difficult decision. Let\u2019s say your best friend\u2019s child attends this school. Assume you\u2019ve seen the school and really like it. But, its an hour drive each way to and from your house.\n\nIf you go ahead and apply to this school, a letter of recommendation from your friend would probably help your application. If your friend offers to speak to the admissions director about your family, all the better.\n\nIn this situation you really need to determine if the location of the school is going to make it too difficult to get your child there every day. Will the drive be too hard on you? Will the drive be too long for your child?

The way we conceive of ourselves as a people, our conception of God and God\u2019s ways, how we are commanded to live our lives, and the nature of our connection to the Land of Israel are all rooted in the Torah\u2014and of course in the rest of Tanach (the Hebrew Bible) as well.

We are reading these four verses at the end of a long story, the encounter between Jesus and a woman by a well in Samaria, so some words of introduction are needed. It is interesting to note that this encounter happens immediately after Jesus meets Nicodemus in John 3. In the case of Nicodemus we have a distinguished religious leader, a pillar of the community, who comes to see Jesus under the cover of darkness. He asks Jesus two questions but then the chapter quickly turns into a monologue by Jesus about God\u2019s intention to save the world and how that will come about.\n\nIn our text for today the one who encounters Jesus is almost the exact opposite of Nicodemus. Instead of being a named, upstanding, male, leader of the Jewish community who comes in the middle of the night, Jesus meets an unnamed, woman, a despised foreigner with an irregular marital history.

The sharpener has two stages for severe sharpening and quick refreshing of blade edges. The diamond abrasive wheels provide a rough sharpen that gives the blade back its edge, while the micron abrasives finish it off with a fine sharpening. Suitable for santokus, debas, and sashimi blades, the Asian Knife Sharpener produces factory results every time.

The new malware has been primarily found in Europe, and is being spread primarily via phishing campaigns, using emails spoofed to appear as though they\u2019re coming from official sources.\n\nOne example recently discovered by the research team appears to come from the Swiss Government, warning recipients that there were errors in their tax returns. Attached to this email is a file called \u201cDokument.zip.\u201d\n\nOne of the intriguing things about the malware is that it\u2019s digitally signed with a valid Apple developer\u2019s certificate. These certificates are only issued to certified developers, and they\u2019re important because they\u2019re required in order to publish apps in the official Mac App Store. Also, because the presence of a signed certificate means that they can be installed without triggering security errors that would normally require a manual override.\n\nAll it takes to install the malicious code is to unzip the file. Once it\u2019s unzipped, the software will modify the infected PC\u2019s network settings and reroute web traffic through a proxy server located somewhere on the TOR network.

They devise a game in which the passing of a tin carousel between them signals the recipient to carry out an outrageous dare designed by the other, with the trouble they get into only serving to bring them closer together. Ten years later, Julien and Sophie are in college--and while they have both grown to be attractive and intelligent, their relationship is still only platonic and their disruptive game still continues at a fevered pace. Continuing into adulthood and forging separate lives, their dares become more hurtful to each other. It soon becomes apparent that the game has only served to prevent them from admitting their true feelings for each other.

In fact, the entrancing first act (in which Julien and Sophie are children) is" -"Thanks. I guess its partially my fault that i didnt look at the structural closely.

Yet plenty of people are stuck renting because they don\u2019t have the cash to buy a home \u2014 almost 80 percent of millennials in the San Jose area rent, according to a report by Abodo.\n\nRedwood City-based Zently wants to take away some of that pain by making it easier to live with roommates \u2014 which is the only way many can afford to live in the Bay Area. The Zently app automatically pays your rent, splits bills between you and your roommates, and alerts your landlord when something needs to be fixed.\n\nRoommates can use the Zently app to split housing-related bills. (Courtesy of Zently)\n\nWhen you connect the app to your bank account, it begins automatically flagging housing-related expenses \u2014 like grocery and utility bills \u2014 and then sends charge requests to your roommates for their share.

Maybe the villain.\n\nIf that's not what comes to mind it could be this: a shirtless encounter with nature, shirtless fishing, or a little sunbathing \u2014 all in Siberia, mind you.\n\nBut who's the man behind the visage? The Putin dossier is thick. Born: 1952 in Leningrad. Religion: Orthodox Christian.\n\nHe was married to a flight attendant from 1983 to 2014, when they divorced. As for dating, now it's been rumored the president is dating an Olympic rhythmic gymnast, and the BBC even speculated they wore wedding rings.\n\nWe know he has two daughters: Maria, born in 1985, and Katerina, in 1986. And Putin got a law degree in 1975.\n\nThe rest of his life is pretty hush-hush. For instance, Putin's wealth. Financial filings ahead of the March 18 election showed that he earned $673,000 between 2011 and 2016, according to The Washington Post. Unofficially, one estimate puts Putin's net worth at $200 billion, held by associates and front companies.\n\nThat's the personal.

The game has seen no small amount of success, having since received two spinoffs, with the original title being ported to iOS devices and Linux, as well as the Xbox One, which Cubed3 reviews here.\n\nBridge Constructor puts players into the shoes of an engineer for a small country where all bridges were recently destroyed in a major natural disaster. It is your job to rebuild the bridges and get traffic moving again. Initially, the bridges built are made of simple wood, but over the course of the game, some bridges allow for use of concrete pillars, high-tension cables, and steel girders. Unfortunately, this small, impoverished country seems to have very little funds to restore its recently-destroyed infrastructure; there is a budget that must be adhered to.\n\nYou cannot build beyond the budget that is imposed, so you have to think incredibly carefully about how to build the bridges. Each one built must be able to support two vehicles crossing at one time without collapsing, and this is how levels are completed.

It has various properties that make it useful for a number of situations.\n\nCBD does not directly interact with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the Endocannabinoid system, it is still being researched, but is thought to modify the behaviour of other cannabinoids, and potentially interact with another Cannabinoid receptor that is yet to be uncovered.\n\nOf prime importance to the value of Medical Cannabis, is that CBD negates some of the negative effects of THC, specifically negating the memory impairment associated with high THC Cannabis, and also having the opposite effect of THC on mental disorders. It is widely known that high THC Cannabis can bring about earlier onset of schizophrenia type disorders, and also exaggerate the symptoms, however moderate amounts of CBD ameliorate this negative effect. In fact high CBD extracts are a promising new area of treatment for mental disorders such as schizophrenia, and is an area of intense research currently.\n\nThe most widely publicised use for CBD medicines has been with intractable epilepsy, which was made famous by the success of a young girl from" -"This morning I was able to climb back onto the bike after a lay off of about three weeks or so.

For \u201cLunch Break,\u201d Lockhart spent a year at the Bath Iron Works in Maine, examining the lives of shipyard workers and producing artworks investigating different aspects of their daily lives. These take the form of three series of photographs and two films. Rather than focusing on the labor itself, Lockhart instead documented the workers during their lunch break, emphasizing their social rituals over production as a means of humanizing the face of a disappearing working class. Yet despite the amount of research put into the project, the quasi-ethnographic \u201cLunch Break\u201d feels surprisingly sparse and detached from the individual stories of the workers.

It focuses on optimizing business operations on a global level, instead of optimizing assets to their individual objectives. Key feature of AWO is the integration of information and decision-making among the various assets that comprise the value chain of the company.\nAWO provides several benefits from a business perspective, such as: (1) Cost reduction and associated margin maximization from the integrated gas value chain (2) Maximizing exploitation of (short term) market situations, related to spot opportunities (3) Enabling a more efficient and faster response to upset situations by making optimal operational changes\nIn general, AWO involves optimizing the operations of supply, manufacturing and distribution activities of a company to maximize operational profits.

This is one of the most important books, and almost forgotten, about Portuguese calligraphy, and the work of Andrade de Figueiredo is among the most amazing examples of calligraphy of the Eighteenth Century.

A flow can be determined as an incompressible flow with the help of Mach number. The medium can either be a liquid or a gas. The medium can be flowing whereas the boundary may be stable or the boundary may be traveling in a medium which is at rest. The medium and boundary both may be traveling with certain speed but their velocities in respect to each other are what matters.

Land application of agricultural wastes as fertilizer is relatively commonplace and is specifically excluded from RCRA's reach when done for that purpose. However, the court found that the CAFO over-applied manure on its fields to the extent that the application could not be classified as a fertilizer; instead, it constituted open dumping of a solid waste and caused an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health or the environment. The defendant, Cow Palace LLC, is a concentrated animal feeding operation (\"CAFO\") that generates on the order of 100 million gallons of manure each year and land applies much of that manure as fertilizer over 533 acres of its property.\n\nThe outcome of the case hinged on whether the CAFO handled the manure in a manner that eliminated its usefulness as a fertilizer.

Led by Lieutenant Colonel Tejero, they took the parliamentarians hostage under gunpoint. Their aim was to remove the current prime minister, Adolfo Su\u00e1rez, and largely reverse the transition to democracy that Su\u00e1rez had overseen since Franco\u2019s death. By default, Spanish television recorded this attempted, but ultimately failed, coup d\u2019\u00e9tat, making it possibly the only coup ever captured on TV. In his gripping The Anatomy of a Moment, Javier Cercas structures his portrayal of the Spanish transition to democracy based on these clips.\n\nAt first glance, the clips (which you can find on YouTube) seem to show that all the parliamentarians hid under their chairs once Tejero and his accomplices opened fire.

What I've learned about myself is that I don't eat very much when I'm depressed, and I do eat junk food when I'm stressed or feeling inadequate. Why junk food and not fruit, vegetables and nuts??? Because junk food = comfort food. Comfort food makes you feel good because it tastes good and is familiar. The problem with eating junk food to ease stress is that it's not good for you, adds unnecessary fat, calories, sugar and salt to your diet and promotes weight gain. Both situations (not eating and eating junk food) shine light on unhealthy coping skills.Since 2014 started my stress levels have been through the roof! I think I bit off more than I can chew.

I grew up on a farm in rural KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. My dad, Wally Fry, farmed goats. I became attached to the goats and was devastated when they would leave the farm in trucks to be sold to slaughterhouses and for traditional sacrifices. I realised that I was an animal lover and it\u2019s not possible to love animals and still eat them.\n\nHow did Fry\u2019s start?\n\nFry Family Food was founded by my parents, Wally and Debbie Fry in 1991. Wally had stopped trading goats and started a construction business. He built a very successful business and was eventually building large factories. In 1988, he was commissioned to build a piggery. He went back to see the piggery in operation and was so shocked by what he saw, that he became a vegetarian. Being a meat-lover, he really struggled with the vegetarian options available and set out to make a product that looked" -"GIRARD Cleanup is set to resume at old Leatherworks tannery\n\nThe initial cleanup will concentrate on one of 27 acres. By TIM YOVICH VINDICATOR TRUMBULL STAFF GIRARD -- The cleanup of the Ohio Leatherworks property will resume Monday although the content of an underground tank is uncertain. The former tannery business, closed for about 30 years, was destroyed by fire in 1995. The 27 acres along U.S. Route 422 are owned by Leatherworks Partnership, a group of three investors. Anthony Cervone III, operational services manager for Innerscope Technical Services, Austintown, said Wednesday the cleanup will resume Monday. Cervone said the effort to remove debris will concentrate on an area where the main building was located. Although the property owners want the work to be done by the end of the month, Cervone said it will probably take longer. During a three-day cleanup effort at the end of August by Terreri & amp; Sons of North Jackson, a large 10,000- to 20,000-gallon underground tank was discovered. Cervone explained that preliminary testing of the liquid showed it contains \"isothicyanide.\" \"I don't know what it is,\" he said, noting the tank will not be removed until the content is known.

With a maximum bomb load of 2000 lbs, it is a decent medium bomber, although its gunners' fields of fire are somewhat poor, the only viable one being the dorsal turret gunner which suffers from the large blind spot the rudder creates directly behind the aircraft. It is recommended to level bomb at high altitude, as its poor manoeuvrability means you will have a hard time bombing moving ground targets at low altitude without a relatively straight bombing run.\n\nGeneral info\n\nFlight Performance\n\nDescribe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.\n\nUsage in battles\n\nAs the first non-naval bomber available to the Americans, this plane is faster than its predecessors in the tech tree, the PBY flying boats.

Using a historical institutional approach, Knut Roder focuses on labour market policies and explains the process of policy change. The book offers a unique combination of quantitative party policy content analysis with qualitative data and numerous interviews conducted for this book with the parties' policy makers. It reveals the Labour Party's and the SPD's search for an alternative approach to economic policy during their long spell in opposition in the 1980s and 1990s, and illuminates how both parties arrived at the current 'third way' / 'Neue Mitte' rhetoric. Their search for new policies was highly problematic, and led eventually to a 'delayed', incremental adoption of neo-liberal inspired economic policies. There was a fundamental paradigm shift in the 1980s from Keynesianism to neo-liberalism, and the parties' slowness to adjust to this shift, Roder argues, was largely responsible for their electoral failure. Similarly, their eventual adjustment to the new paradigm explains their electoral success in the 1990s. Applying the historical institutional analysis, this book argues that both parties' policy choices" -"Medium Helena\n\nAbout Waiting for approval\n\nAbundant greetings to you all.

Colleges and universities are clinging to a parochial set of notions about the job descriptions and skills needed by those who would manage the enterprise of higher education. In the age of markets, accountability, and cost constraints, the motivations and skills of professionals inside the academy differ very little from those in outside settings. Without a real departure from the current practice in higher education, a real gap is likely to develop between the level of managerial skill required in the future and what will actually be available. Higher education, like nearly every other U.S. enterprise, is being recast by an accelerating shift from a producer-driven to a consumer-driven economy. A well-managed institution must focus on service, efficiency, and quality, and it must employ effective managers at every level. Colleges and universities tend to see themselves as entities that differ fundamentally from other organizations, but the reality is that the managerial skills required are very similar to those of other organizations. Institutions of higher education are often ignoring qualified managers because they are" -"The urn has turned\n\nAustralia did not give up the Ashes with a whimper.

As a result they have evolved unique signalling mechanisms through plasmodesmata that allow rapid communication between different parts of the plant. Communication through plasmodesmata involves the trafficking of informational macromolecules such as transcription factors, gene transcripts, and small RNAs. Moreover, viral pathogens exploit these cell wall channels for intercellular and systemic spread, which often results in serious crop diseases. The EMBO workshop will bring together scientists working on plasmodesmata structure and regulation, plant development, defense signaling, gene silencing, and virus movement.\n\nThe aim of this EMBO Workshop is to support the development of new scientific concepts and experimental approaches for exploring the mechanisms, control and role of intercellular communication in developmental plant biology and crop diseases. Participants and speakers are expected to stay for the whole duration of the meeting. Young researchers and students will have excellent opportunities to participate in this meeting through presenting posters, short presentations, and through discussions during breaks and social activities.\n\nThe EMBO Workshop will be organized into the following sessions:\n\nStructure and Regulation of Plasmodesmata\n\nPlasmodesmata and Plant Development\n\nIntercellular Transport" -"Sherry Ballew has told Kansas City me Barton County authorities received a call from Davis and Riley saying \"they were tired of hurting people\" and planned to overdose on drugs as soon as they found a place to drop off the girl.\n\nThe couple was eventually arrested on a dirt road after their truck got into a wreck.\n\nFederal officials are investigating possible kidnapping charges.\n\nIn the court documents, police said an audio recording found in the vehicle Davis and Riley were captured in had Davis talking about other tapes that had been made.

Their circle of friends is comprised of a number of celebrities, who mostly play as themselves; Jason Alexander, Richard Lewis, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer and so his manager, Jeff, together with his somewhat hysterical wife, and so on. Throughout the series, Larry manages to cause an endless series of socially awkward situations that are nevertheless hilarious.\n\nLarry is almost always guided by the very best intentions, but only fails and blunders, and his wife is a constant victim of his awkwardness in social interactions. This is mainly why some episodes look like they are simply an argument from the first minute to the last, but the series does seem to develop nicely as Larry David applies some of his formulas from Seinfeld and you do feel an urge to see the next episode.\n\nOne thing leads to" -"Ghosts and Demons\n\nby Clovis\n(Missouri)\n\nThis is something that haunts me today.

Analogists will ask, is there a steroids problem in academia? An article in NYer digs deeper into use of neuroenhancing drugs in schools. And further, like pro sports, is there steroids use (sans coffee) in the highest echelons of research? Away from sensationalism, here is a research question: should we not be prepared for Erdos-like prediction of aliens demanding Ramsey numbers, and for sake of humanity, invest in research on steriods for brains? The point is steroids for sports produces one record, some good moments for the fans, and large $s for TVs, but humans move on to anticipate the next record. Steroids for science on the other hand may have more lasting impact. No, I am not advocating steroids, or proposing we produce monster brains that would read the NYer without savoring it.

Those opposed point to the fact that, literacy aside, the books are being used to sell Happy Meals, and that is indeed very bad. There are six books in the Mudpuddle series, which means that children will pester their parents for Happy Meals at least six times between now and February 7, when the promotion ends.\n\nMcDonald\u2019s could, of course, appease both sides and have a more lasting effect on the quality of children\u2019s lives by selling them better" -"Our past plans suggested we would have Android platform support by this time.

Before the time of Charles II., the King had often atrociously abused the power of arrest and acted in utter disregard of the privilege of habeas corpus. It was the dread of such behavior of their monarchs, who at that time still retained a great deal of their arbitrary power, which aroused the English people to pass the great habeas corpus act.

Several of them have stated they quit their jobs and planned their finances to run out today, May 21st. As his people stated in an interview, \u201cThere is no plan B.\u201d\n\nAccording to Camping\u2019s statements in an interview, the rapture is to occur exactly 7,000 years after the flood. Today is that date by Camping\u2019s calculations.\n\nHis reasoning is that the Apostle Peter said, \u201cWith the Lord a day is like a thousand years.\u201d Since God said, \u201cI will send a flood in seven days\u201d, the earth will end 7,000 years from the date of that statement. However, people seem to forget the rest of Peter\u2019s statement, \u201cand a thousand years is like a day.\u201d Now if we apply the same logic to the second half of the verse, calculations suddenly don\u2019t make sense. Perhaps the point of Peter\u2019s statement isn\u2019t a coded message, but a reminder that time is not a boundary to God.

Those who fail the test will receive a cashless debit card and individuals who test positive multiple times will be referred to a medical professional for treatment.\n\nWhile the tests have been described as \u2018random\u2019, the program uses \u201cdata-driven profiling tools\u201d to target people at higher risk of substance abuse.\n\nA number of mental health, welfare and drug treatment organisations have hit out at the proposal, which they say demonises those who rely on social security.

I might be in the T spectrum of our little acronym however living in a small conservative town leaves me woefully underrepresented in terms of the other letters.\n\nIt's complicated. Some gender queer people feel like they aren't strongly gendered, so neutral is a good description. But other gender queer people strongly identify with both traditional genders and need to express both their masculine and feminine side, although not necessarily simultaneously. And it's not really something that you can consciously choose: it's more like due to the complex interplay of personal and social factors your gender chooses you.\n\nGender labels can be useful things, but they also have a negative side.

When a person becomes bankrupt, the control of all his assets, with certain exceptions, passes to the trustee whose job is to sell them and distribute the proceeds to the creditors.\n\nBankruptcy proceedings start with the making of a Bankruptcy Order by the court. Immediately on the making of the order an official called the Official Receiver (OR) takes over control of the bankrupt\u2019s estate pending the appointment of a trustee. The OR is an officer of the court and a member of the Insolvency Service, an executive agency within the Department of Trade and Industry. Where there are significant assets, an Insolvency Practitioner will usually be appointed to act as trustee, either by a meeting of creditors or by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. Where no Insolvency Practitioner is appointed, or where there is a vacancy in the office of trustee, the OR acts as trustee.\n\nAn application for a bankruptcy order may be made" -"Joe Paterno 1926 \u2013 2011\n\nWith apologies to Shakespeare, I come to bury Joe Paterno, not to praise him.\n\nFor the benefit of readers who actively ignore sports in general and college football in particular I\u2019ll offer this summary. For over 40 years Joe Paterno was head football coach at Penn State University.

He contributed millions to charity and by all accounts was a good guy.\n\nBut when presented with evidence that one of his assistant coaches was molesting children he did the minimum required by law, which was essentially nothing.

Kuo's note prior to WWDC indicated that Apple was likely to leave the non-Retina models without an update as part of an effort to continue pushing consumers toward the Retina line, so the primary focus is really on new Retina MacBook Pro models.\n\nOne potential explanation comes from a late April note from Kuo in which he suggested that updated Retina MacBook Pro models may not ship for some time after WWDC due to production bottlenecks on the displays used in the machines. Depending on when those updated models might be ready, Apple may simply have felt that the gap between WWDC and their availability would be too large to" -"E3: SEGA's shady no comment on Sonic Generations Wii U\n\nSEGA had just got done showing off Sonic Generations (more on that soon) and asked for questions, as publishers often do at E3 presentations.

Truth became thus relative to a group of people and individuals (relativism). Based upon the relativist view, as a Sophist he taught rhetorical skills to win arguments, thereby reducing philosophy from a quest for truth to mere skills of argumentation and persuasion. The shift of the locus of truth from the sphere of existence to language parallels an orientation of postmodernism. Both Socrates and Plato challenged his philosophy, and Plato named one of his dialogues after him.\n\nLife and works\n\nProtagoras taught for nearly 40 years traveling Athens and surrounding cities, teaching the art of rhetoric and his philosophy to mostly wealthy Greek citizens. By the request of his friend Pericles, he drafted the laws of a new Greek colony Thurii. Protagoras wrote at least two books, Truth (or Refutatory Arguments or On Being) and On the Gods. His agnostic view of the gods presented in the latter caused his conviction on impiety and forced him to flee Athens, and" -"Cheesy Garlic Dressing (and a warning)\n\nI used to think making my own salad dressing would be a pain in the butt. It seemed like every recipe needed a different type of vinegar\u2013rice vinegar! balsamic! white wine vinegar! sherry vinegar!\n\nThen I attempted balsamic vinaigrette and it was a complete disaster, confirming my suspicions. It took me about a year to get over it and try again, and now Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette is my favorite dressing.\n\nCreamy dressings were next on my list, starting with Caesar. I found a great recipe at Good Cheap Eats and dove in. Unfortunately, it was a gritty fiasco. Pre-shredded cheese is too coarse and doesn\u2019t break down no matter how long you blend it. Update!

We hope you find this special edition on OD thought provoking and would love to hear what questions and reflections it prompts for you.\n\nI like the idea of turning the sub-title of your excellent winter edition, 'evolution & revolution', into a question. Thanks for this.\n\nMy reaction to 'revolution' is to think in terms of being both far reaching and rapid. Of course revolutions can have lengthy gestation periods and may not overturn all that has gone before. But there is generally a tipping point (sometimes only visible with hindsight) where the action begins. Are we there yet?\n\nThe strange thing about evolution (in a biological context) is that it is easier to recognise with hindsight. Under great environmental pressures evolution can run very quickly. We need to identify those pressures, and the responses that are being tried. Perhaps answers have already been found - but are not yet recognised as the fundamental shifts in thinking that they will become.

Natural hazards and catastrophes can be defined as processes, originating in the biosphere, with damaging fall-outs on mankind and the world we live in. The main hazardous catastrophes (varying in magnitude, frequency, duration, extent, onset speed, spatial dispersion and temporal spacing) are: earthquakes, volcano eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, coastal erosions, floods, hurricanes, drought, wild and man-induced fires, etc. It is worth noting that, in absolute terms, the economic costs of disasters have been increasing over the last decades. Furthermore, losses due to earthquakes constitute a significant part of the global losses due to natural hazards, and are those that yearly cause the highest number of casualties. In Europe (EU-27), more than 41 million people (about 8%) live in high seismicity regions; another 64 million (about 13%) live in moderate seismic areas. The total economic loss due to earthquakes during the 20th century is about 40 billion Euro alone in Europe. Between 1980 and 2000, the average yearly death toll because of earthquakes was about 240 casualties in the EU (mainly in Italy) and" -"Wednesday, July 20, 2016\n\nThey say that variety is the spice of life.

Only Use for Intended Purposes\n\nProper knife use means you use a specific knife only for certain jobs it was designed for. For example, you shouldn\u2019t use a vegetable knife (Nakiri Knife) for cutting meats or boning. Specialty knives are designed for performing specific tasks and when you use them for other jobs, you can damage the knife and in some cases, void any warranties. If you\u2019re not sure what a certain knife is used for, do a little research so you will know how to use it in the right way.\n\n2.

Unfortunately, politicians in Washington know little about the free market and that certainly includes President Obama.\n\nOne of the President's plans to help the middle class is to give everyone two years of free college. Free to him means making someone else pay. I have a better plan. I want to make it legal to pay students to get a useful education by repealing all laws that interfere in voluntary contracts dealing with employment. This includes minimum wage laws. Today our colleges graduate a lot of students with degrees that have not provided them with the skills needed to take the many jobs going begging.

With two EP's and\nsome sporadic shows under their belt, they've relocated to Los Angeles\nand are ready to make a name for themselves. They spent most of 2014\nholed up in singer/guitarist Gabriel Strycharz's Santa Barbara home,\nrecording what has now become known as Season of Violence or Mourning, Protest, & Birth of Bishop Killborne, their debut album.\n\nThe\nthree-piece make the kind of thoughtful folk rock that fans of My\nMorning Jacket or Father John Misty might recognize. If there's one\nthing Season can be called, it's diverse. Often\nshifting from dreamy, lackadaisical, free-roaming jaunts to fuzz-laden\nindie anthems to good ole' folk ballads and everything in between. An\nemphasis on atmosphere and ambiance makes it a spatially resonant\nalbum, definitely recommended for a listen with the biggest headphones\nyou can find.\n\nThough generally clear and\nfocused, the vocal phrasing throughout implies a sort of underlying\nurgency or panic, which is perhaps a side effect of the album's lyrical\ncontent.

The newly-developed acoustic tractor beam can pull objects six orders of magnitude \u2014 that's a million times! \u2014 larger than any previous experiments.\n\nThe concept of manipulating matter through the careful application of fields first showed up in science fiction in Edward E. Smith's Spacehounds of IPC, a novel by the author/chemical engineer serialized in Amazing Science starting in 1931. Now, tractor beams have propagated to just about every corner of space-based science fiction. While some previous success has been achieved for tiny nanoparticles, a collaboration between researchers in Scotland and Illinois has managed to use tractor beams to manipulate relatively enormous centimeter-sized objects.\n\nGetting the limitations out of the way, this tractor beam uses acoustic waves, and as every nit-picking scifi-fan knows, sound does not propagate in space. Even more inconveniently, shape matters: the tractor beam only works on objects that have a not-flat backside. But, for objects in the atmosphere that have junk in trunk, this beam can exert enough pressure to move it at will! ...as long as it only takes a few millinewtons of force to haul" -"Python Data Types\n\n#1) Numbers\n\nIn Numbers, there are mainly 3 types which include Integer, Float, and Complex.\n\nThese 3 are defined as a class in python.

Kirk\n\nApr. 22nd, 2011\n\n05:06 pm - NCN 20 & 21\n\nLast month I planned to cycle from Croydon to Brighton, although I gave up at Three Bridges. Last week I tried again, and this time I made it the whole way. I followed NCN 21 as far as Three Bridges, then NCN 20 from Three Bridges to Brighton.\n\nLast time, I left Croydon at 12:00 and reached Three Bridges at 16:15. This time I intended to leave earlier, but I didn't actually set off until 12:38. Having said that, we're in BST now, so by GMT/UST I actually left 20 minutes earlier than before. I reached Three Bridges at about 16:15 (BST), i.e. the same time of day as before. However, this journey was quicker, and I had more daylight left (since the days are getting longer). My original plan was to go for a quick swim in the sea when I reached Brighton. My revised plan was to get there in time for sunset (19:45 BST), so that I could watch that from the beach. I actually arrived at about 20:00, so there was still daylight. I went for" -"On any given night at Brandi's Exotic Nightclub in Vancouver, the women equal, and sometimes outnumber, the men. Sure, it's touted as a bridge between a nightclub and a venue for adult entertainment, a comfortable place for couples and women, but you can't escape the fact that women on stage are incrementally peeling off their clothes. The advent of what some people are calling \"raunch feminism\" is what is driving a whole bunch of trends like this lately - from pole and lap dancing lessons under the clever marketing guise of fitness, to Girls Gone Wild, and its Canuck counterpart Wild Canadian Girls, where young women at Mardi Gras and Spring Break flash, spread and simulate lesbianism - not for money, but simply for cameras.\n\nSexual power, a well-practiced special talent of women, could be one reason why so many of us are frequenting strip clubs these days. Another might be women's well-conditioned habit of competing with each other for the attention of men. It cold be that we simply want to keep a watchful eye on our boyfriends / husbands.

As a warlock, you will need to learn to use your pets, manage your threat, and collect Soul Shards. As you grow in levels, your strategies will change slightly, you will have to learn to adapt to new situations and new spells. But however your strategy adjusts, it can usually be boiled down into a few basic concepts.\n\nThe different approaches to combat really depend on the pet you are using. So let's look at the pets that a warlock can have, and in what situations we would use them. Before we do however, we should first explain a key concept of the warlock: the Soul Shard.\n\nSoul Shards are a unique Warlock resource displayed in the user interface beneath the player's health and mana bars similar to Death KnightRunes. The resource works in tandem with the Soulburn spell, to empower the next spell the player casts, granting it a special effect, such as increasing its damage or making it an instant cast.

About 60 people have been murdered coming out of Mass by suicide bombers in Peshawar, Pakistan, and a considerable number have been killed (the death toll is still unclear) at a shopping mall in Nairobi by members of a Somali terrorist gang which specifically targeted non-Muslims, which in Kenya means Christians.\n\nBoth these incidents require a nuanced but nevertheless forthright response.\n\nThe Pakistani government has a long and proven record of not only failing to protect its minorities, but actually persecuting such minorities. The crime in Peshawar is to be blamed on the perpetrators, but it is also the fault of the Pakistani government, which has failed to protect its Christian citizens and which has given in to extremism by passing discriminatory blasphemy laws.\n\nThere is little any reader of The Catholic Herald can do to influence the Pakistani government, one fears, but one can ask our elected representatives in Britain why our government is so friendly to Pakistan.
