domestic issue. Tis is not unlike many other strategies the leftist Dhimmis embrace to forfiet American sovereignity, the LOST treaty is a case in point. The progressives seek to supersede our (and everyone else's) constitution with unrepresentative proclamations from UN bureaucrats where collectivist authoritarianism is the policy de jour. It's most blatant efforts and the resultant calamities that follow are evident in what is taking place in the EU. We must stand fast on our American exceptionalism and except ourselves from all Global Governance perfidy that is really only the mechanism by which the progressives mean to foist One World Authoritarian Government on all of us, with them as the authority. Very glad that Issa actually came out of the closet regarding his belief in the absurd gun-control-conspiracy aspect of this mess. Issa no longer has even a shred of credibility about the true nature of his show trials: to cynically exploit the death of a federal agent in order to embarrass the Administration. Darrell Issa is the lowest of the low. Never let a crisis go to waste, even if you had to soak it with gasoline and strike the match yourself. These people have NO shame. Even the Gun Dealers refused to go along with the program when they realized what it was. The ATF DID NOT ALLOW THIS, THEY FACILITATED IT! They were selling 50 BMG Barrett's ($8,000ea) for cash money. That's money laundering. Not to mention a 50cal Barrett can split an engine block in half

situation really in the "bioethic community". Perusic_antil2 Dear commenters, please don't waste your time. These "most eminent philosophers and bioethicists in the world" (Savulescu, Singer, Harris etc.) are just a bunch of megalomaniac small minds who make a living out of mindless provocation. Don't feed the academic trolls! Dr. Timothy J. Williams The authors of the article don't just "talk" about infanticide. They JUSTIFY it. That is what is obscene in their reasoning and in the publishing of the article. If I mention that the modern Chinese practice infanticide, I am not in any way approving of it. But if I state that, in my view, the Chinese have every right to kill their female children if they feel inconvenienced by them, then I am approving of infanticide. That would most definitely be a contribution to the madness and horror. Surely, you can't be too dense to understand this? A minor pedantic point -- if they have justified infanticide, then the response here would be otiose. If something has been justified, then we have to accept its permissibility. The most that can be said is that they've attempted to justify, or mounted a justification of it. This aside, it's hard to see what's achieved by the repeated description of what's going on in the paper. That doesn't engage with it. OK -- but the fact that something is believed (by bioethicists, Germans, or anyone at all) isn't evidence that it ought to be believed. Giubilini and Minerva's ideas may be

son is as you say, feeling threatened and insecure. If all three of you can get on, the children will sense this and may behave in a different way. Many girls share a bed with their sister and find it great fun if they get on. The key is getting them to like one another and enjoy each other's company. You should discuss your concerns and work out whether this is rivalry or something more serious. Ultimately, you all need to work together to encourage all four children to be kind to one another and enjoy the new family unit.

Bob Carr, who will hold talks with Clinton this week. The pressure facing WA's mental health system has been exposed by the long awaited report prepared by Professor Bryant Stokes. The Stokes report showed an alarming trend of suicide among recently released men and women and a dramatic shortage of available beds for mental health patients. There is mounting pressure for priests to report to police any confessions of child sex abuse. Currently any confessions made to a priest are protected under a seal of confession. Howard Sattler spoke with Federal Attorney-General Nicola Roxon. A landmark study of WA leavers has uncovered binge drinking by school children is greater than most parents think with data showing children having more than 11 standard drinks a day. Paul Murray spoke to Steve Allsop from the National Drug Research Institute about the results. How long will it be before your phone is the only smart thing about you? According to researchers at Stanford University it may have been yesterday. Steve Mills spoke to lead researcher Dr Gerald Crabtree about how our genes can't keep up with evolution via technology. The office of Business, Maintenance and Works has been grilled by the Estimates and Financial Operations Committee over their handling of contracts for BER work. Paul Murray spoke to the opposition's spokesperson on Commerce Kate Doust about the committee's inquiries. Congratulations Steve Mills: Steve Mills has been awarded the Deborah Kirwan Award by Seniors WA for his interview with 73 year old Dilys Bossely.

This means you couldn't be out of the house for 15 hours a day. If you're allergic to animals, this may not be the option for you. If you can be trusted with someone else's pet for a couple of weeks, and you like the idea of a free stay, you'd better sign up quick -- Logan warns that these sorts of properties get snapped up fast, so be sure to choose the instant alert option which means you'll receive an email as soon as a house is listed, rather than the daily alert. She also advises creating a listing with as much biographical information as possible as owners like to know as much about potential sitters as possible -- it's a good idea to post a video of yourself too, and character references. While Housetrip says longer lets have been snapped up by foreign tourists visiting the UK there are plenty of shorter stays available.

Design Ethnography. Setting A rural county in North Carolina, USA. Participants 38 low income people ?18 years of age (20 men, 33 African-American) were identified from an STD clinic and a county jail, and by social service professionals. 24 of the participants reported having had >1 STD. Methods Indepth interviews of 1 -- 2 hours were held with each participant. Questions focused on sexual behaviour and condom use, drug use, STD care seeking and self treatment, and sexual risk taking in relation to curable STDs such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and syphilis. Interviews were audiotaped and transcribed. Codes, common patterns, and emergent themes were identified. Sections of 4 interviews were excluded because of data contamination by an inexperienced interviewer. Main findings The findings reflect an insider's (emic) view of how to protect oneself from STDs and why. Primary and secondary prevention strategies were identified. The most common primary prevention strategy was partner selection based on familiarity, appearance, and reputation. Familiarity was equated with safety. The extended friendship ...

rating -- originally 15 in the UK, which was reduced to 12A on appeal; but R in America. Was that imposed because of the scene in which the King swears copiously? CF: What infuriates me is that in America violence is judged in context, whereas language is not. So with language there is an arithmetic that says: one fuck is a PG 13, two fucks is an R. They don't say: one bullet through one head is a PG 13, two bullets through more than two heads is an R. TH: In our film, the F-word is used in a therapeutic context. It is an extremely funny scene. I defy anyone to carry any long-term trauma as a result of seeing it. Colin, you seldom give interviews... CF: You are right. I wondered if this was because journalists tend to typecast you and Darcy continues to be a burden? CF: No -- what is interesting is that people want him to be. It is a myth people have been fascinated with from the moment I played the character. Darcy has never been a burden. They have manufactured it. They have said: "If he is so grumpy about Darcy, why would he go and do Bridget Jones ?" Because I'm not! Yet as an actor written up as a pin-up, you must sometimes feel similar to a reluctant royal. Doesn't it make you feel an affinity with the King? CF: I am not dismissing the truth of what you are observing

My mum died last year, two days into our holiday in Canada. Although she was 92, and in very poor health, it still came as a bit of a shock, as I had seen her a few days before and she seemed OK. We were staying in the Rockies, out of cell phone range. We went out for a drive and I picked up a couple of answerphone messages, the first saying she was ill, the second, three hours later, saying she had died. Not the best way to hear. Even worse, I was due to meet her young sister two days later for the first time in 30 years, and was dreading having to tell her. What my cousin hadn't told me is that my Aunt now has Alzheimer's (or something similar). She had been told who I was, but didn't ask about my mum, TG, so there was no point in telling her. My cousin said If I had told her, she would have forgotten the next day, so there was no point in upsetting her needlessly. After my Aunt went home, my cousin and I talked about my mum, and it was good to have family around. I will always be grateful for the fact that my mum had made her own funeral arrangements some years earlier, and paid for everything. It made the practicalities so much easier. It was sad news, but I had to be told as I managed her affairs. I continued with my

The mixer: Though best known for his guitar work in Smashing Pumpkins , James Iha has had an illustrious career since he left the group in the late '90s. He's taken up with Maynard James Keenan's A Perfect Circle , he owns a record label and a recording studio with Fountains Of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger -- with whom he's also formed a supergroup featuring members of Hanson and Cheap Trick -- and he's made two solo records, including 2012's Look To The Sky . Still, even with all those projects, Iha has always been a bit of a mystery to the public. He's remained the quiet guitarist in the background of the loud rock 'n' roll band, or the enigma manning the DJ booth. He generally has some big idea going, though, so The A.V. Club asked him to make a list of songs for people with their heads in the clouds -- or more succinctly, for dreamers. Neil Young , "Sugar Mountain" James Iha: "Sugar Mountain" is a song for a dreamer because it is a beatific hippie utopian song, and has a touch of darkness to it as well.

Of all the amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals in the world, the most abundant species is probably the chicken. At any one time, approximately 20 billion cocks and hens are alive on the planet (though never for long). Donna Laframboise is a journalist and civil libertarian in Toronto, who made her name as a fearless investigative reporter in the 1990s. She has recently been investigating the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and has come up with startling results about how its reports are compiled. For those of us who took the IPCC's evaluations of climate at face value when they came out -- I know I did -- and thought that they were based on an impartial and careful process that relied on peer reviewed evidence, these revelations are shocking. Her book The Delinquent Teenager is now available on kindle and will shortly be in paperback. It is one of the most important pieces of investigative journalism in recent years. It demolishes the argument that we need the mainstream media because the blogosphere will never do the hard work of investigative journalism. The opposite is true.

The Microsoft Alumni Foundation awards last night were an opportunity to see how former Microsofties are spending their time, money and energy. But the evening was also a window (pardon the pun) into the evolving corporate citizenship strategy of Microsoft Corp. While the alumni foundation is a means for former employees to rally around philanthropy, the company has its own recent news on its giving practices. Microsoft is entering its 30 th year of giving and promoting philanthropy among employees. To date, the software giant has raised $970 million for philanthropy around the globe, and officials expect that to top a billion in the next year. "When you look at our employees, so many have made it because somebody, somewhere, gave them the opportunity to go out and get an education and come here," said Akhtar Badshah , vice president of the Microsoft Alumni Foundation. "They feel that there is something in them to give back." Giving is also something that has supported recruiting efforts and the -- at times -- fanatical love that Microsofties have for the mother ship in Redmond. "Today's generation coming out of college, it's very important to them to go to companies that are doing good in the world," Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation CEO Jeff Raikes said in an interview with the Puget Sound Business Journal. "So that Microsoft tradition is very appealing. I think what you're hearing is that some other companies are recognizing that in order to have access to that talent,

utilities. And the fact that jet fuel must be aerosolized to a relatively high range of concentrations for it to explode, as opposed to simply burning on ignition, leaves me wondering why NIST failed to make any sort of conjecture as to the route fuel might have taken, the concentrations evaporating fuel could have reached in the first ten minutes 1000 feet below the strike zone. And NO explanation for these reports other than to say "it is plausible" jet fuel fireballs were the cause. Within the first 5 to 8 minutes... Your reliance on NIST's report is understandable, but if there is in fact a coverup, by not considering alternatives you support that effort. In some of your documentary work on this you allow contrary opinions to be heard, but not in great depth, while placing great weight on those backing the official conspiracy theory.

far greater need to use renewable energy in key sectors. Delaying the nuclear energy phase out would considerably increase the economically viable reduction potential (an additional reduction of 90 million tonnes of CO2 until 2020) and would greatly decrease the average abatement costs. Between 1990 and 2004, Germany reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by some 17%, from 1232 million tonnes to 1025 million tonnes CO2 equivalent (CO2e). Emissions from the energy sector fell from 397 million to 359 million tonnes CO2e during this period. The BDI said it hopes the report will "lay a foundation stone for a process of increased cooperation between the federal government and society". It said it intends to produce a "revised edition" of the study which will evaluate progress made on implementing current findings. Nuclear power plants generate about one third of Germany's electricity, but a coalition government formed after the 1998 federal election made the policy of phasing out nuclear energy under Green environment minister Jurgen Trittin. Currently, under a 2000 compromise, the operational lives of German power reactors are limited to an average of 32 years, although operators can apply to transfer generation time from lesser to more efficient plants. Two reactors have already been shut down early, and although some generation time has been passed from older to newer plants for economic reasons, the agreement would eventually see all reactors shut down by 2015. Many similar power reactors in other countries are licensed to safely operate for up to 60 years. Now,

thought mine were going to be low, but they were not!The most important thing is that we each get as much choice as is possible and are left to feel alright about those choices. I actually love you. this is exactly how I feel too. I've had three children, and I live in quite a hippy / organic / yoga / nauseatingly middle class area, where it really did feel like some kind of martyrdom competition with everyone trying to out 'all you need is a bean bag' each other and have the most 'organic' child birth possible, as if the more pain you felt, the better mother you'd be. If I heard one more person tell me about the dangers of a 'highly medicalised birth' I thought I would scream. It made me want to walk around with a big sign saying 'elective caesareans rule ok'. Which perhaps evidences that despite being a 32 year old mother of 3, I actually still behave like I am 5. I really feel that it is the choice of the woman giving birth, and everyone else should just back the hell off. Happy mums make happy babies and it is painful enough giving birth without also having to deal with everyone else's opinions on how you should do it.

drivfer problem, is not a bug of the driveer at all, but actually how windows requires this resources from the hardware, the driver didn't why he had no sufficient information, collapsing windows and ending on our BSOD. this is not related to the video, but actually to the chipset(mb) or processor. The best options are to update the MB drivers, or wait until Activion returns with some update for the game. PS: The problem happened to the instruction KxStartSystemThread, apparently a lot of people with 2 screens complain about this, i also have 2 screens turned on, does anyone who have this problem doesnt have 2 screens or more? Also one of my friends was able to run the game but it was laggy when he entered in the aim mode, desconecting the 2nd screen made the game run fine. Ive got an fx 4170 clocked @ 4.7ghz and its worked fine right out of the gate. Im running on a tv and monitor. The one issue ive had with this game is my nvidia drivers crashing, causing me to have to end the game's process in task manager. I have 2 monitors but they are cloned. I will set them up as dual monitor setup tonight and let you know if this causes me any problems. Do they need to be spanned or set for dual view? Let me know how yours are so I can do the same.

both are transcribed, with the nuclear-encoded protein being targeted to the complex plastid. We can speculate that it is the fusion of Psb28 with the ribosomal protein S4 that prevents the elimination of psb28 from the plastid genome. Phylogenetic analyses show that nuclear psb28 is a duplicate of the plastid homologue, although this relationship only became apparent when appropriate methods were used. The reason lies in the compositional bias of the analyzed sequences, which causes LBA and substantially affects the topology of the tree. Molecular Phylogeny Nucleotide sequences coding for Psb28 from various photoautotrophs including cyanobacteria, glaucophytes, plants, chlorophytes, rhodophytes, cryptophytes, haptophytes, and stramenopiles, were downloaded from GenBankT and other sources (see Table S1 ). The nucleotide sequence dataset was translated to amino acids in BioEdit [33] and either aligned using ClustalW algorithm (BioEdit) and retranslated back into nucleotides or aligned using Mafft-6.717 [34] . Both amino acid and nucleotide alignments were used for further phylogenetic analyses. Both alignments were manually edited (BioEdit), and ambiguously aligned regions and gaps were excluded from further analyses. A specific nucleotide dataset was made by exclusion of the third nucleotide codon positions. Nucleotide datasets were used to construct Maximum parsimony (MP) [35] and Maximum likelihood trees (ML with GTR+? 4 +I model) [36] . Because the third codon position appeared to be saturated, we excluded this position prior to the analysis (trees not shown). Amino acid alignments were used to construct MP [35] , Neighbor joining (AsaturA [25] ; method designed to deal with

Because I think if you're too soon, you might not be clear on exactly what you're asking people.

Every year, the world's biggest music acts descend on festivals across the planet -- the largest attracts nearly 400 000 punters. It's a frenzy of amazing performances, experiences, catastrophes and of course, hilarious and mind-blowing stories. In 2012, AWME again assembles heads of the biggest festivals across the globe. Share in the history and evolution of the music festival culture through personal tales exposing what really goes down from the front gate, to the crowd pit, backstage and beyond. Not to be missed by any music lover, industry member or festival enthusiast. He is a well known public figure in his own right, running the PR machine for many of his tours and often being the media's "go to man" for an opinion on the music industry or the state of the nation. Australia's most noted music promoter Michael Chugg talks to veteran music journalist Iain Shedden about lessons learned (and ignored) from his 50-odd years in the music industry, and the book they co-wrote on the subject 'Hey, you in the black t-shirt'.

With enough practice you can block it out for minutes on end. (personally I was lucky - pain free birth [it was uncomfortable though] in a birthing pool in a midwife unit, and a second [painful but extremely fast - wasn't able to block the pain out completely or hold the baby in!] home birth in the shower so fast that the midwife hadn't arrived...curiously all fine and not full of anxiety during the event though). Both births were supported by paracetamol. @juniperberry My experience is actually similar to yours because the midwives decided for whatever reason that it's too early to examine me. Even with my water broken. I was so lucky I was in a private room in the antenatal wing. My husband was able to stay in the room with me, without anyone noticing. (Because of lack of visits from midwives). I wouldn't be able to do it without his support. I agree with @clozza that the most important factor is actually a calm and encouraging birth partner. My husband was beyond wonderful. He was with me for 2 days in the hospital room, without any sleep hardly. @juniperberry, I wasn't examined until the evening of the 2nd day, when they want to kick me out of my private room and send me home. Because my water has broken, they said they'll give me a sweep to get me going. I was already fully dilated at that point and they pushed me to the delivery suite. I

Now, if they had spend that extra money, say 2 times more, then we would not have ended up having to pay 4 times more. This is the terrible cycle witnessed with pretty much everything in this country involving our various "systems" - government and private business, i.e., insurance cos., social security, etc. It's insane ... we are a country as a whole whom rather "spend less" and do things only when everything falls apart. For example, rather than spending money on quality preventative care our lovely system wants us to be in several health straits before helping, even if you pay for private insurance. It's ridiculous.

very credible economically, but hugely influential politically. The second view -- pretty mainstream among economists, including the IMF -- was that austerity would be damaging but not disastrous. Based on historical evidence it postulated a multiplier of around 0.5 -- i.e. a reduction of 1% in public expenditure would lead to a fall in output of around 0.5% The third view was exemplified by the writings of Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman and numerous others, and argued that institutional factors meant that the multiplier was likely to be much higher; these economists crucially argued that rather than relying on historical data to understand an economic situation that had few precedents, it was necessary to revisit the macroeconomic theory. Krugman famously and scathingly caricatured the advocates of the first view as "waiting for the confidence fairy". They argued that this approach led to the conclusion that the multiplier would be far higher, certainly greater than 1 and possibly as high as 1.7. Portes quotes from the latest IMF Bulletin which shows that the Fund is moving much closer to the third view -- and points out the policy implications: first that the assumptions used by the OBR to feed into UK economic policy were way too optimistic (and its puzzlement over why things have not gone as it predicted misplaced); and that the impact of fiscal expansionism, the obverse of austerity, will be all the greater.

the very people that will share you dream and together you will see it become reality. That is why I have the slogan on the website, which you may have seen. Together we will reach our full potential, within the plan of God, for our lives. How can my vision possibly come to pass? God does not expect you to work alone! We do have a part to play, but He will bring people into our lives that have different abilities and gifts that will add to what you can do and then God will do His part to complete the vision. When will it come to pass? Impatience is why so many Christians fail. God is a God of order and timing. It will happen but it will be in His timing. In most cases, there may be things we need to mature in, or to experience before He can take us to the next step. We need to be willing to learn every step of the way. Too many times I have felt pressured to act and when I did I soon found out it was not God that was pressuring me. What is the purpose of your dream? It is God?s desire that "no one shall perish.? What that means is that He desires every living person to develop a relationship with Him and realize the salvation that is available through Jesus.

causes friction and will disturb the hair cuticle, making it harder to keep hair smooth. Quick tip: I always tell my clients to use a paper towel to help absorb the water from your hair. Always use a covered hairband or 'smoothie' when popping into a pony as it doesn't rip the hair, causing tears and split mid lengths. Never tie the hair up while it is still wet, as the hair is more fragile will split much more easily. What are your top tips for ensuring you have a good hair day, Primpers? I haven't had my hair cut in 3 mths (growing it out as they always cut off way too much) and I don't have spilt ends at all thanks to using coconut oil as a night time treatment. Plus the pureology range of shampoos and conditioners, that's made a HUGE difference to the condition of my hair. Oh and going brunette from blonde too I'm sorry but I don't buy the 6-8 weeks for trims theory when you're growing your hair.

Barack Obama did not vote to raise taxes. The vote she's referring to, John McCain voted the exact same way. It was a budget procedural vote. John McCain voted the same way. It did not raise taxes. Number two, using the standard that the governor uses, John McCain voted 477 times to raise taxes. It's a bogus standard it but if you notice, Gwen, the governor did not answer the question about deregulation, did not answer the question of defending John McCain about not going along with the deregulation, letting Wall Street run wild.

under the lease. Generally speaking each suggested amendment works to exclude or minimise the Tenant's liability for a particular outgoing. Make these changes to the text in the first schedule of the 5th Edition ADLS lease agreement. CLAUSE 1.1 The Tenant shall pay the annual rent by equal monthly payments in advance (or as varied pursuant to any rent review) on the rent payment dates. The first monthly payment (together with rent calculated on a daily basis for any period from the commencement date of the term to the first rent payment date) shall be payable on the first rent payment date. All rent shall be paid without any deductions or set-off by direct payment to the Landlord or as the Landlord may direct. This strike out keeps alive the possibility of paying rent by 'set off'. 'Set off' is basically jargon for 'swapping debts'. For example if Joe owes Bob $10 and Bob owes Joe $5, the legal concept of 'set off' would allow Joe to pay Bob $5, with the other $5 of debt cancelled or 'set off'. This amendment will be important to a tenant if the landlord claims money from the tenant, but at the same time owes the tenant some other debts. In such a situation the Tenant could 'set off' their debts to the landlord against the landlord's debts to them. CLAUSE 2.1(D) Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, the annual rent payable as from the relevant rent review date shall not be

T.S. Eliot: Four Quartets Little Gidding I Midwinter spring is its own season Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown, Suspended in time, between pole and tropic. When the short day is brightest, with frost and fire, The brief sun flames the ice, on pond and ditches, In windless cold that is the heart's heat, Reflecting in a watery mirror A glare that is blindness in the early afternoon. And glow more intense than blaze of branch, or brazier, Stirs the dumb spirit: no wind, but pentecostal fire In the dark time of the year. Between melting and freezing The soul's sap quivers. There is no earth smell Or smell of living thing. This is the spring time But not in time's covenant. Now the hedgerow Is blanched for an hour with transitory blossom Of snow, a bloom more sudden Than that of summer, neither budding nor fading, Not in the scheme of generation. Where is the summer, the unimaginable Zero summer? If you came this way, Taking the route you would be likely to take From the place you would be likely to come from, If you came this way in may time, you would find the hedges White again, in May, with voluptuary sweetness. It would be the same at the end of the journey, If you came at night like a broken king, If you came by day not knowing what you came for, It would be the same, when you leave the rough road And turn behind the

Caribbean Islands (1998), published by BGCI was the result of a series of workshops held in the Caribbean from 1995 to 1998. Participants from over 20 countries in the region attended these workshops. The Action Plan provides a framework for action to help development and conservation go hand-in-hand to improve the quality of life for the peoples of the region. A specific objective of the Plan is to show how botanic gardens are playing a major and increasing role in sustainable development of these countries by helping agriculture, forestry, horticulture, tourism and other sectors and in the conservation of habitats and species. In 1999 BGCI invited botanic gardens, conservation and environmental organizations and bodies throughout the world to help revise and update the Botanic Gardens Conservation Strategy (1989) as the International Agenda for Botanic Gardens in Conservation.

There is no doubting the competancy of the photographer although I do agree with the burnt out highlight comments but the picture begs the question: Why? Don't see the point. If it had been a bit more surreal such as having the man up to his waist in a burn or in amongst some Highland cattle it might have a bit more of the Pink Floyd album cover about it. I Like the light, but the subject is in the wrong part of the frame. Also, his hands bother me. That hand position in wedding photography is known as "fig-leaf" pose. And it really looks bad here. He appears to be holding something that is distracting. I agree that he appears to be a banker that just took possession of some farm and didn't have time to change clothes. I like the contrast between the suit and the outdoors. I would do the opposite as many suggested with the sky and take out any clouds so there's a solid background and the attention is on the man.

I don't know where this came from, but suddenly we're keeping things in "draws" and making "eras" when we're careless ... grrr! I can't distinguish between "drawers" and "draws" (/dr?:z/). Surely you don't say something like /dr?:r?:z/, do you? A common difference in pronuncation I hear is with the word, 'philanthropist'. I pronounce this word with a long 'a' and a 'u' for the 'o'. Does that make sense? Many pronunciation websites say it this way too with their 'soundclips'. But I have heard many pronounce it with a short 'a' and short 'o'. It should have a short 'a' and either a short 'o' or a schwa...I suspect your 'u' is actually a schwa, but when you say "long 'a'", do you mean long-as-in-length (i.e., what are called "long vowels" in sensible languages, like Latin and Greek -- /a:/) or long as in what English speakers for some inexplicable reason call "long" vowels (which are completely different vowels and dipthongs -- /e?/)? I'd find it hard to say with either... "Arctic" was actually borrowed into English from the Latin word "articus" (note the lack of a 'c' before the 't').

Or make myself feel guilty that I should be tending to those weeds that are always in the garden, needing pulling. I'm my own worst enemy. I drive myself crazy, I really do. I'm trying, day in, day out to slow down. Not all together. No, that would just drive me insane, but in moments. Just to be. To stop. To enjoy. I force myself to take these moments, be in them, drink them in. Remember them. Photos help. Looking at them through a lens makes you stop. Capture the light. Snap the moment. Recording the simple beauty of every day moments that pass us by each and every day. The dark caramel colour of my first coffee of the day

John Hargraves. Thank you for the support you have shown me in my sixteen months as Chief Minister. To the other candidates here and I can see you dotted through the room and all of your campaign teams, thank you very much for going out and spreading the Labor message. I have never been involved in such a disciplined, positive campaign as I have been in the 2012 election and you should all be very proud of the role you have played in that, so thank you. To the central campaign team led by Mr Elias Hallaj; the stories I could tell you about him, but I won't because we're on television. But to Elias thank you for your patience and your leadership, your preparedness to take a call. Elias for acknowledging when you were wrong -- that you were wrong -- and also for not being too smug when you were right and we were wrong, thank you. To my staff in my office who I have worked most closely with thank you, I won't name you individually but you all know who you are and I couldn't have done my job without you. Finally to my family who are here, to Dave who's put up with me though this pretty stressful time. To my children; Abby, Charlie, and Evie who are here and behaving themselves which is so lovely to see. Thank you very much darlings I know you've missed mummy and she will be around a little

I have about a fairly old mobo that I'm guessing doesn't support 3 TB natively. Is it worth getting one anyways (and maybe unlocking it with the HD manufacturer's software?) or would I save myself a lot of headaches by sticking with 2 TB? Edit now that I have more time - if not, and you're not using it to store the only copy of important data, go for it. Not a fan of using any of that kind of software where the data is important, or where you are reliant on it to boot. It can cause weird issues at the worst times, like when you are cloning the drive to replace a failing one, or booted off a Windows CD to run a chkdsk or bootrepair, etc. Or maybe you decide to partition the drive to test out Linux, and you overwrite the special bootloader and kiss the drive goodbye, etc. All kinds of edge cases that aren't immediately obvious manifest themselves at the worst possible times.

So it was quite amazing to me that I found myself perched over a bowl of steaming hot water, surrounded by four other women on a Tuesday night, rubbing my chest with goo and saying 'Well, this is the most attention I've had in a while'. [Sidebar please. That Man is currently in China, and had previously been working 80+ hour weeks. I wish I was exaggerating. So, I'm sure he would have been gazing at my freckly chest with uncontrolled lust had he been something other than Zombie Man, or had he actually seen me upright or in a pose other than Sleeping Tiger for the previous few weeks. If he was that kind of guy.] Aaaaanway... sorry mum. Let's move on. I rolled up to this shopping at home party as a sceptic rolls up to a sance. Really, because I wanted to try something different and see what would happen. Plus, a lady I really like asked me at the last minute, and it was a fun excuse to get out of shit o'clock with the kids, and have a giggle, a facial and a glass of wine.

pervasive effect on school performance. Moreover, when handwriting is perceived as arduous and time-consuming, motivation to write may be greatly reduced, leading to a lack of practice that may further compound difficulties with writing. Finally, handwriting in the earliest grades is linked to basic reading and spelling achievement; for example, when children learn how to form the letter m , they can also be learning its sound. Attention to the linkages among handwriting, reading, and spelling skills can help to reinforce early achievement across these areas. Manuscript or cursive? At one time, manuscript (print) writing was typically taught in first grade, whereas cursive was introduced later, usually in third grade. Historically, some authorities argued for the superiority of one form over the other for children with LDs, most often for the superiority of cursive over manuscript. However, there is little evidence that cursive is easier to learn than manuscript, and there are clear advantages to having children focus on the form of writing similar to what they must read in print. Most critically, children should be able to use at least one form to produce legible, reasonably effortless writing, and instruction should focus on the form that appears most likely to lead to that outcome, especially for older children with handwriting difficulties. Assessment of handwriting skills Assessment of handwriting should incorporate observations of execution, legibility, and speed of writing. Execution includes correct and consistent pencil hold, posture, and letter formation. Counterproductive habits in these latter areas are not always obvious

nucleotide level. We focused on the bovine genome (version 4.0), whose assembly and annotation is still ongoing. Ensembl orthology predictions from release 50 were used, as these represented the highest quality genome annotations across several mammalian species. Ensembl automatically produces orthology predictions between species and for each release of the database these predictions can be easily queried using the "BioMart" tool. A simple query to obtain the number of non-orthologous genes between the bovine and the human genome returned 5,507 out of 22,836 genes. The reverse query returned 19,811 out of 36,396 human genes with no orthologs in the bovine genome. The differences are dependent on the level and quality of annotation for the two genomes, and on the larger set of annotated human genes. In order to reduce this effect in a simple two-way comparison, the bovine and human datasets were filtered with information coming from other completed genomes, specifically mouse and dog. A total of 3,801 bovine genes had no orthologs with these three species while 1,010 human genes, with orthologs in mouse and dog, had no orthologs in cow (Figure (Figure1). 1 ). These two groups of genes were considered as the most consistent non-orthologous genes to use in further work. In the previous assembly of the cow genome (Btau 3.1, Ensembl release 49), a similar query gave almost double the number of bovine non-orthologous genes (6,247), while non-orthologous human genes were slightly fewer (865). This reflects major improvements in the bovine genome assembly and annotation between

conditioning are dying from the heat. If you are in danger, put on your bathing suit (guys, add a t-shirt) and get in a cool shower. Once you are wet, do not remove the bathing suit - just dry off enough so you aren't dripping all over the house, and go about your duties. You will stay much cooler. Repeat as needed. "This is a ridiculous article. It is 102 degrees today and nothing is keeping the house cool except A/C. People without A/C are literally dying from the heat." Oh, please. Old, frail people and stupid people are dying. I lived through plenty summers well over 100f without A/C, using common sense tips like these. 105 degrees and 80% humidity sucks, but a box fan, some shade, and cool liquids to drink make it completely non-threatening. This is a fact, in the northern hemisphere from March 21 until September 21, the northern side of a house is exposed to the Sun much more than the southern side. Therfore shade is more valuable on the northern side. The western side has been heating longer and the sun is present during the hottest part of the day. Please consult an expert before you publish drivel such as this article. For those of you whom think putting a jug of frozen water in front of a fan is energy efficient is, I hate to tell you, wrong.

nightstands of the scholarly and the coffee tables of the middle-class. It inspired a flood of "Story of ..." books whose words are now lost to the past. It was, and still is, the primary text for many university philosophy curricula. For those who have read it, Story of Philosophy is probably their "trapped on a desert island with one book" selection. That the work remains in print and in demand three generations later is a testament to the author and to the subject... both mighty fine creations. I usually look down on philosophical "collections" because they tend to give an inadequate picture of any single philosopher and they also tend to lack cohesion. But this book is not just a collection - it is more like a narrative. The name "The STORY of Philosophy" indicates the focus, which is not just to present the work of various philosophers but to weave them together. Durant's choice of philosophers may seem to be unreasonable, but it serves his purpose. He presents a wide range of thought, from ancient Greek to modern. His analysis is always deep - his insights are fascinating. His understanding of the nuances of these thinkers is not in question. Each section presents Durant's analysis alongside material quoted directly from the philosopher being discussed. In this way both the original material and thoughtful analysis are given. In broader terms, Durant brings all this diverse thought together. He describes the progression of thought through careful comparison and contrast and

Abstract Background Glutathione has a wide range of functions; it is an endogenous anti-oxidant and plays a key role in the maintenance of intracellular redox balance and detoxification of xenobiotics. Several studies have indicated that children with autism spectrum disorders may have altered glutathione metabolism which could play a key role in the condition. Results Thirty nine studies were included in the review comprising an in vitro study, thirty two metabolite and/or co-factor studies, six intervention studies and six studies with genetic data as well as eight studies examining enzyme activity. Conclusions The review found evidence for the involvement of the ?-glutamyl cycle and trans-sulphuration pathway in autistic disorder is sufficiently consistent, particularly with respect to the glutathione redox ratio, to warrant further investigation to determine the significance in relation to clinical outcomes. Large, well designed intervention studies that link metabolites, cofactors and genes of the ?-glutamyl cycle and trans-sulphuration pathway with objective behavioural outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorders are required. Future risk factor analysis should include consideration of multiple nutritional status and metabolite biomarkers of pathways linked with the ?-glutamyl cycle and the interaction of genotype in relation to these factors.

incomes New Zealanders earn. That is a fundamental objective of our plan to build a stronger economy." -- John Key, 8 February 2011 " The driving goal of my Government is to build a more competitive and internationally-focused economy with less debt, more jobs and higher incomes. " -- John Key, 21 December 2011 By now, more and more New Zealanders are waking up to one simple reality; National cannot lead this country to prosperity or anything remotely resembling it. Their policies for growth seem predicated on, cutting wages asset sales bullying and demonising beneficiaries lanning dangerous and unsound deep-sea drilling of the East Coast of the Nth Island mining in conservation lands It is the height of desperation and bloody-mindedness that National's major policy of job-creation relies on cutting wages as some kind of "bribe" for employers. It is the depth of stupidity that will see young people on $10.80 displacing older workers, as employers cut costs in order to maximise their profits -- especially as consumer spending is dropping. (See: Electronic card spending drops in September ) It is this sense of sheer miserly selfishness that resulted in, tax cuts in 2009 and 2010 which benefitted the richest in this country All Key's policies work exactly as intended -- to turn us into a low wage third world economy with no sovereignty.

Interestingly the FtB lot have posted that lawyers they have consulted disagree with you. Lets say I gave you a key to my house and you were welcome to come over whenever. Later we fall out and it is made very clear publicly that you are not welcome -- the fact I previously gave you a key and it is trivially easy to enter my house does not stop that being illegal. The means to access private information is not the consideration -- the fact that he was not allowed to and he knew it is the crux of the matter. That he then tries to revise history and it was all some heroic whistle blowing operation just rubs salt in the wound. As an aside, I did not read your side of this conflict first. I first read Greta Christinas post, and then noticed that a large part of FTB were writing similar posts.

to you for regarding advice. Is it help with interviewing? Is it your ability to multitask? Is it your technical expertise or your ability to troubleshoot someone's iPhone or computer? What do people think of you as sort of an expert in? So that's how you can think about your strengths. I think we're all much better at pinpointing our own weaknesses. We know what we're not good at doing or what we don't like doing. And if something is really painful, if you think about doing it, don't seek out a job that's going to have you building financial models, or cold calling customers, or showing real estate, if the idea that sounds totally unappealing. So yes. Think about your strengths and weaknesses and then absolutely think about your financial needs and goals and how they fit in with those strengths and weaknesses. I think the biggest challenge, obviously, is when your strengths and weaknesses don't jive with your financial goals. So for instance, if you want to make millions of dollars and think Wall Street is the way to get there or becoming an entrepreneur is the way to get there, but you don't have a great appetite for risk or you don't know anything about finance, well those two things probably aren't going to happen then.

executor of her estate and informs her twin son and daughter, Simon and Jeanne, of an unusual request made by their late mother. Her mother wants them to deliver two letters, one to their father, whom they have never seen, and one to their brother, about whom they have never heard. Although her son, Simon, considers this request a sign of his mother's madness, her daughter sees it as an opportunity to uncover the truth about who her mother really was. She accepts the assignment from the executor and this sets in motion a journey to a war-torn country in the Middle East to discover the past of Nawal Marwan. When Nawal's son dismisses his mother as unstable and reclusive, he naively assumes that he knows who his mother was. Because of his youthful arrogance and insensitivity, he does not yet understand that his mother's quiet demeanor, her silence, may have been her strategy for survival. As the narrative unfolds, we discover that Nawal's life consisted of unspeakable horrors, and yet she somehow survived and outwardly lived a normal life. Her demons continued to haunt her and her response was silence, never confiding in her children or revealing to them anything about her past. Jewish tradition echoes her response of silence in the face of tragedy.

but close to it. Just one final point. This whole debate about the International Criminal Court and concerns about it, understand all of the points out there and the legitimacy that they seek to invoke. The real threat actually comes from national courts that are seeking to exercise universal jurisdiction. You see this playing out now in real time. It is in Spain where it's playing out. So the argument that somehow we cannot tolerate the International Criminal Court because of the fear of universal jurisdiction which, in fact, the Court does not have, is actually a greater threat today from national courts that are simply enacting national laws of universal jurisdiction than they are from what might be considered a more conservative International Criminal Court. QUESTIONER: (Off mike.) Who would initiate this on the American side, the attorney general of Alaska or somebody? Who starts this moving? SCHEFFER (?): Well, can I -- I think I can quickly say this. Interestingly enough, in federal law now we have two new laws, the Genocide Accountability Act and the Child Soldiers Accountability Act, which has a fairly -- it's not total universal jurisdiction, but it basically means if you're a foreigner and you've committed genocide overseas and you decide you want to come to Florida and live comfortably in that nice home, we can prosecute you.

But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold, Grandma wrapped it around her arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the autumn, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.

I came, I saw, I got annoyed Main menu Post navigation Who Owns All Arsenal Shares? Here's some more info about who actually owns all Arsenal's shares -- this post replaces the one on the same subject from last week, which I have now deleted. First how many shares are there? When I tweet about shares, I'm often asked and I immediately answer: 62,219. That's the figure given on the Plus Markets website, and they should know. However, the share register maintained by Capita Registrars gives the figure as 62,217. And they should also know. So I don't know the truth, but I'm sure it's one of those options. The largest block held these days -- indeed the largest ever held by one person or organisation -- is the 41,581 held by Kroenke Sports Enterprises (66.83%). KSE UK is wholly owned by Mr Enos Stanley Kroenke. The second largest block is the 18,496 (29.72%) held by Red & White Securities Ltd, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Red & White Holdings, which itself is owned jointly by Alisher Usmanov and Farhad Moshiri.

No one shall with impunity lay a finger on the aureole of our government infallibility. The pretext for stopping any publication will be the alleged plea that it is agitating the public mind without occasion or justification. I BEG YOU TO NOTE THAT AMONG THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE ORGANS ESTABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT WE HAVE PRE-DETERMINED TO ALTER. WE CONTROL THE PRESS 4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to them. 5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the minds of the GOY communities to such an extent the they all come near looking upon the events of the world through the colored glasses of those spectacles we are setting astride their noses; if already now there is not a single State where there exist for us any barriers to admittance into what GOY stupidity calls State secrets: what will our positions be then, when we shall be acknowledged

What do weather balloons and satellites do? Students investigate how weather balloons are tracked by radio after release into the upper atmosphere. They report on what information is collected and how it is used to construct weather maps. Students investigate how weather satellites record and send photographic images of Earth to state weather bureaus. Satellite images show cloud cover and measure wind speeds. A useful site to explore satellite images is the Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology: Students work individually or in small teams to make a rain gauge out of a measuring cylinder in a beaker with a funnel on top. Place in an open position in the school grounds and record rainfall over several days. Students record their observations in a journal. Students create a story about someone caught in a natural disaster. Students demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between: movements in the Earth's crust and mantle changes within the atmosphere natural disasters. Application activities Effects wheel Students draw several concentric circles. They select a particular natural phenomenon such as flooding and place its name in the centre. They divide each successive circle into double the number of segments as is in the previous circle. In the segments of each circle students list the flow-on effects from effects in the previous circle. Further resources The following resources contain sections that may be useful when designing learning experiences: Digilearn* Exploring Earth's structure: Earth probe -- Students drill to the centre of the Earth.

NELL SCHOFIELD: It was probably very hard for her to accept that she wasn?t going to have a career as an actress, that she wasn?t going to be as famous or as big a star as she was when she was 16. RICHARD MUECKE, JAD CAPELJA?S EX-HUSBAND: She was becoming more and more psychotic. And in the early days I had said to a few friends, ?there?s something going wrong here.?

The mower can be in the charger to start or in the yard it'll spin around wait, wait some more and then spin up the blade and take off. No one else has a lawnbott and no one has an electric fence nearby so I'm kinda worried about runaway lawnbott :'(. Just tried it the bot reports no signal. I plugged it back in and it went off towards the boarder with some low bushes. Somehow hitting it at an angle as never before with the growth a little long and ended up somehow snagging a bit of bush and the wire!

But I believe - and basically I can attest to it 2 months into it, that this seems to have been solved by the 3510 series. Maybe an upgrade from 3500 to 3510 would help. I often see or hear that an upgrade be used to solve a problem with the Lawnbott. Will someone tell me why an upgrade should be used to solve a bad design or faulty part.

from the dozen or so other, major, mystery religions (many of which were more prevalent and widespread than the "Christian" version). As a result, early Christian apologists seized upon the notion that its version of the "mysteries" was literally, historically true and that the fundamental aspect of Christianity was to have faith that its version of the story was literally, historically true. Justin Martyr dismissed the other versions of the story (many of which pre-date the alleged time of Jesus by centuries) as "diabolic mimicry." just because you don't want the "some time? to be the three years doesn't mean it isn?t. Now because the gospel of Luke was based on Matthew and Mark they must have been supported by Paul so out they go: Also because as you pointed out the writing styles of 1 & 2 Peter seem to be different so we can?t know which was actually written by Peter so we must loose both of them. Also since you seem to accept any biblical theory that suggests that a book wasn?t attributed to its author and those books must be removed because they are fakes. That leaves these: gg Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; i mmediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Gal 1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

Why not staying in Iran to get a realistic picture?...Because it is fast food. Easy money. Go go toys. Dont waste your time with this kind of orientalist crap, go watch real crap like skydiver instead. At least it is real fake, not fake fake. from the report of my american friend and a friend of tunisia for 20 years, it may have already started happening there. the origin could be a relatively small section of society there now that is very active, bigoted and unrestrained. from there to state oppression is not a long step. unfortunately In some ways, the granting by the Bush administration of 'permission slips' for techniques, which led to at least two people deaths it is alleged is bad, becasue the government had full foreknowledge of it. In other countries, which are poorer, have worse centralisation of power, abuses often happen without the knowledge of the centralised powers in charge. They still probably hold responsibility, and or may engage in instigation of such acts.

I'm not quite as bendy as I used to be and had to be helped down. This was in order to collect photographic reference for my graphic memoir. Who is the first person you try your work out on? Why choose them and how much do they influence you? My husband. He's also an artist and fairly well read, so I trust his judgement -- mostly. Having another creative person handy with whom to discuss ideas can be a great influence. We don't have children of our own so I can't test ideas out in that way. However, one of the things I learnt from writing courses was that one's own children aren't necessarily the best judges of a good story; much of their delight comes from the undivided attention of the carer, and a cuddle, rather than any literary prowess on the adult's part. I also have one or two writing friends whom I can trust to be honest. The last thing you want is someone who simply tells you it's great because they don't want to hurt your feelings. On the other hand, you don't want people to thwack you over the head with your manuscript when they think it stinks. It's a tricky balance at times. Do you have a favourite character that you've written or illustrated? Sledgehog is my firm favourite (as yet unpublished) character. She's the speediest sledging hedgehog in the whole wide hill.

Today, Be Glad Tomorrow," and "Want Peace of Mind? Spend Prudently"--stuff my great grandmother, who never went to school, could tell you while laboring over a pot of stew in the kitchen. But the most hilarious part of Ben the Clown's article is where he so graciously and caringly warns his "beloved" fellow Americans that basically Obama is out to take away their freedoms. Firstly, where was this noble defender and protector Ben Stein when we lost all kinds of freedom as a result of that most unpatriotic "Patriot Act" that Bush & Co. rammed down our throats following 9/11??? Secondly and specifically in regards to healthcare, try telling the 50 - 60 million currently uninsured Americans that they'll be losing their freedom if a universal healthcare plan is implemented. What a joke! The fact is we need universal healthcare. No employer-sponsored plan, individual savings plan, tax break, etc. can take its place. With employer-sponsored plans, you lose your job and there goes your insurance coverage. Same with an individual savings plan: who's going to keep paying health insurance premiums when you've been laid off or disabled and have more urgent expenses such as food, gas and rent/mortgage? The U.S. is the only industrialized "Western" country that does not have a comprehensive, universal health plan, and it's a disgrace. The (supposedly) richest country in the world cannot provide adequate healthcare for its citizens. First you have to wonder why that is, and secondly, it's about time that changed. Gidget |

appointed commissioner and council, composed entirely of senior civil servants based in Ottawa. Beginning in 1951, elected members were added gradually to the previously all-appointed council until it became a fully elected body in 1975. The commissioner used to be a deputy minister in the federal department in charge of the administration of the Yukon Territory and the NWT in addition to other major responsibilities. In 1966, the federal government created federal electoral constituencies in parts of the Northwest Territories. In 1967, a resident Commissioner was appointed and many federal programs were transferred to the territorial government. Morin, Don Don Morin, government leader of the NWT (courtesy Government of NWT). In 1967 the seat of territorial government was moved to Yellowknife and the commissioner relocated there with the nucleus of what has become a territorial public service. The federal Northwest Territories Act contains the written constitution and defines the powers of the territorial government. The territorial assembly consists of 19 members, one of whom it chooses to preside as Speaker, and one as premier. There are no political parties in the territory. A unique feature of the assembly currently is that the majority of members are native. The chief executive officer for the territory is the commissioner, appointed by the federal government, who is required to administer the territory under instructions from the minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. The government leader serves as chairman of the executive assembly, whose members are chosen by the legislative assembly from among

in the order of merit, that is determined by competitive examinations. But there is also another way of recruitment, which is appointment by the President of the Republic, in a limited proportion of the membership, of persons having distinguished themselves in the practice of public administration. It is important to emphasize that promotion of members of the Council from one grade to another (which are, successively, "auditeur", "matre des requtes" and "conseiller d'Etat") is strictly automatic, to give them full guarantees of independence, and depends only upon seniority of service. Finally - and last but not least - the Council of State has the curious particularity to be presided over by a "Vice-President", as the presidency of its general assembly is formally attributed to the Prime Minister. But the latter has no effective power in the functioning of the institution. And it has to be specified that the Vice-President of the Council of State is the highest ranking official in the French administration. As regards administrative tribunals, they were established, in their present-day form, in 1953 and are the ordinary first instance judge for all cases other than those having to be directly submitted to the Council of state. There are 41 administrative tribunals all over the country, with 30 in mainland France (the Paris administrative tribunal being by far the biggest and having a special organization) and 11 in the different French overseas territories (such as, for example, the Administrative Tribunal of New Caledonia, just to mention one located

mind and questions you've tried to avoid answering. Thus I was gutted when after the first 100-or-so pages of The Possibility Of An Island it became clear that he hadn't 'done it again' he'd actually produced something of a damp squib. In fact the book picks up in the second half as Daniel becomes increasingly central to the fate of the Elohim and humanity, yet, it still missed something. This is a great puzzle for me. Everything's there that's made Houellebecq great in the past and is looked at from interesting new perspectives: men are still sexual deviants always looking for the younger woman but now the younger woman is shown to be just as cruel as the older husband, the ridiculous nature of religion in a scientific world is held up for all to see in the form of new-age-cultism, the degeneration of the body in a world that loves youth is examined in detail and reprising the theme of 'Atomised' humanity is to be replaced by a superior new breed. So why does it feel so lifeless? The Possibility of an Island lacks the sparkle of Houllebecq's previous books, the ideas are there, you can almost always see the points he's trying to make yet somehow they don't quite feel 'made' with the killer lines that summed up complex sociological ideas strangely absent. The savage treatment of his characters, holding their every mistake up, illuminating the tragically self-destructive nature of the human condition, still pervades yet you feel

"I wanted to write a song with no people in it, only boats at rest. Of course, there's a ghost in one of the verses but he/she doesn't qualify as a human. The song was written as a folk tune at first, but then seemed to work as a choral piece as well. It's been recorded worldwide around 40 times." - AMG to George Seto/Mudcat Forum, Aug 9, 2007.

idea, for a particular audience (more on this below), is essential in crafting powerful and engaging speech and writing. The repetition of the same words over and over again quickly bores people, while the skilled use of a wide array of them enables you to draw people in and paint a rich picture. This is why an expansive vocabulary is one of the keys for great leaders -- words allow you to grab the interest, and then allegiance, of others. And a robust vocabulary is just as important when you're operating off the cuff as when your remarks are pre-planned -- instead of hemming and hawing, searching for the right words to say, you can express yourself forcefully and with confidence. Boosts your powers of persuasion. It's hard to get people interested in an idea -- whether a tangible product, a business pitch, or a piece of philosophy -- and convince them of it unless you 1) understand it inside and out yourself, and 2) can describe it to others in an engaging way (see the two points above). Repeating the same word over and over again ("I've got this cool idea. See, it's got this cool wheel here and then this really cool axle stick outs...") is going to have the eyes of your audience quickly glazing over. It certainly won't help you sell them on something, or on yourself -- issuing banalities in a job interview ("I'm a hard worker and a people person!") won't do anything to

to be sure that we give the player the utmost control" Here's an example: If you find yourself rarely using your secondary weapon, you can simply drop it from your custom class. That frees up a slot for something else; an extra attachment for your primary weapon, perhaps, or a second explosive grenade. Or you could equip a back-up tactical grenade, like the new Shock Charge, which stuns enemies with a bolt of electricity. You can even bend the rules by customizing your class with a fourth or fifth perk. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 's debut multiplayer trailer shows an extreme example, a custom class armed with nothing but a combat knife, revolver, and six perks. These rule-breaking custom choices are made possible thanks to the inclusion of Wildcards. Equipping a Wildcard will consume one of your ten available slots, but it allows for customization unseen in previous Call of Duty games. With Wildcards, players can equip two primary weapons (rifles, shotguns, SMGs) or affix three attachments (red dot sight, extended clip, stabilizer) onto a single gun. "It was important for us to challenge our assumptions about Create-A-Class," said David Vonderhaar, game design director at Treyarch.

of maximizing social media tools and digital video to communicate with the public in hopes of generating a movement and calls to action. Hugh Evans, CEO and co-founder of The Global Poverty Project, announced the "social media campaign has been off the charts". An article in the Wall Street Journal reported, "More than 71,000 people had signed up online, resulting in more than 3.5 million page views. Nearly 200,000 pieces of information were shared on Facebook, and just a bit more than that on Twitter. About 170,000 people signed petitions via the site, and there were 98,000 videos viewed to completion". According to The Global Poverty Project, there was $1.3 billion pledged in commitments to help fight extreme poverty around the world. Overall, I cannot promise any answers to the questions posed as I continue to wrestle with how best to approach the complexity of today's global challenges. I believe that is one of the purposes of this blog, WhyDev , is to encourage one another to never stop questioning and never stop learning. So, from one aspiring global citizen to another, I leave you with this quote by Robert Kennedy: "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

highway And the colors are gonna run All of a sudden dont ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it I said, yeah I feel safe I said, yeah you know I cant stay here all the time as much as Id like to But, I just learned about all day and all night And dig sounds, and go down to the river And once the artists go through the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah (in the back room) ah-ah Gotta do my thing (in the back room) In the back room (in the back room) Fades- In the back room (in the back room) [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/v/van+morriso\\... ]

will spread whilst cooking. You will need to cook them in 2 batches or on two baking sheets. Place in the oven for about 12 minutes until golden. Turn halfway to ensure an even bake. Allow to cool on the tray for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy one (or four!) with a nice hot cup of tea. The dough mix is really lovely. I think it even tops my House Warming Cookies recipe! Beautifully chewy in the middle but crunchy on the edge. Just lovely! I think if you took the cinnamon out of the mix you could pretty much add any flavour you wanted to it. Maybe some milk chocolate orange chunks or chocolate chips & marshmallows. Mmmmm.
