Every person has a unique personality consisting of a distinctive pattern of thinking, perceiving and relating with the world. In the personal sphere, understanding the forces that shape personality can be useful for achieving growth and satisfaction. In the business arena, it can be crucial for recruiting the right candidates and for understanding why employees respond to different motivations. The four primary of theories of personality are psychoanalytic, social-learning, self-growth and traits-based.
Psychodynamic theories focus on the inner workings of personality, especially internal conflicts and struggles. Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a key figure in this field. For him, personality was a dynamic system directed by the conflicting desires of the instinct-based id, the rational ego, and the idealistic and judgmental super-ego. In a business context, psychodynamic theories are of limited application because they place too much emphasis on sexual and aggressive instincts and are highly subjective. They remain influential despite infrequent use.
Traits-based theories of personality focus on stable qualities that a person shows in most situations. There are hundreds of possible traits, such as sociability, orderliness, intelligence, shyness, sensitivity, rebelliousness, creativity and obstinacy. However, most traits can be traced back to 35 basic traits, 16 source traits, or the five core OCEAN traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Because theories based on traits models are objective and grounded in research, they have multiple practical applications and are often used as the basis for psychological tests in business settings.
Social Learning Theories
Social learning theories focus on learning and nurturing in contrast to traits-based theories, which stress heredity and nature. Human experience -- not human nature -- is considered the primary cause of personality growth and development. As we learn, we alter the way we perceive our environment and the way we interpret incoming stimuli, which influences the way we interact or behave. Social learning takes the concept a step further, introducing the idea that we learn through our interactions with society. Society plays a much larger role in the way we think about ourselves and the world and how we interact or behave in the larger context of society. Social learning theories are of interest in business because they deal with the learning process and the effect of incentives and disincentives on behavior modification.
Personal Growth and Humanism
Theories inspired by self-growth and humanism stress the private and subjective experience. Personality is considered an expression of the need for personal growth. Different personalities are manifestations of differing stages and paths in the individual's quest to fulfill his innate capabilities. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a particularly influential model in this area and one of the multiple humanist tools that can be used in the development of paths for personal, as well as professional, development. Maslow's theory suggests that people have basic needs for survival -- food, shelter, safety -- that must be met before higher order needs, such as self-esteen and self-actualization, can be fulfilled.

Background Cardiovascular complications of pregnancy present an opportunity to assess risk for subsequent cardiovascular disease. We sought to determine whether peripartum cardiomyopathy and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy subtypes predict future myocardial infarction, heart failure or stroke independent of one another and of other risks such as gestational diabetes, preterm birth and intrauterine growth restriction. Methods and results The California Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project database was used to identify all hospitalised pregnancies from 2005 to 2009, with follow-up through 2011, for a retrospective cohort study. Pregnancies, exposures, covariates and outcomes were defined by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes. Among 1.6 million pregnancies (mean age 28 years; median follow-up time to event excluding censoring 2.7 years), 558 cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy, 123 603 hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, 107 636 cases of gestational diabetes, 116 768 preterm births and 23 504 cases of intrauterine growth restriction were observed. Using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, peripartum cardiomyopathy was independently associated with a 39.2-fold increase in heart failure (95% CI 30.0 to 51.9), resulting in ∼1 additional hospitalisation per 1000 person-years. There was a 13.0-fold increase in myocardial infarction (95% CI 4.1 to 40.9) and a 7.7-fold increase in stroke (95% CI 2.4 to 24.0). Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were associated with 1.4-fold (95% CI 1.0 to 2.0) to 7.6-fold (95% CI 5.4 to 10.7) higher risk of myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke, resulting in a maximum of ∼1 additional event per 1000 person-years. Gestational diabetes, preterm birth and intrauterine growth restriction had more modest associations. Conclusion These findings support close monitoring of women with cardiovascular pregnancy complications for prevention of early cardiovascular events and study of mechanisms underlying their development.

text: Accurate information on metabolizable energy and true digestible amino acid (TDAA) content of sorghum grain is important in order to formulate sorghum-based poultry diets accurately. Estimates of ingredient nutritional values using bioassay methods require live birds and special facilities, which are time-consuming and costly. Accordingly, prediction by mathematical models would be of some considerable benefit. Sixty-eight samples of sorghum grain, representing 32 different varieties, were used to test the correlation between TDAA and nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy (TMEn) with total essential amino acids. Two methods of multiple linear regressions (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were used to find the relationship between total amino acids (model inputs) with TDAA and TMEn contents (model outputs) in sorghum grain. The fitness of the models was tested using R2, mean square (MS) error and bias. There is a strong relationship between total amino acid concentration with both TDAA and TMEn content in sorghum grain. The TDAA and TMEn values were more accurately estimated by ANN model compared to values obtained from the MLR model. The R2 values corresponding to testing and training of the ANN model showed a higher accuracy of prediction than the equation constructed by MLR method. Based on the experimental evidence, it is concluded that the TDAA and TMEn values in sorghum grain can be predicted from total essential amino acids using ANN models. Consequently, this method provides an opportunity to reduce the risk of formulating an unbalanced TDAA diet for poultry.

Even as parties prepare for the third phase of the South Sudan revitalisation programme later this month, concerns linger over the impartiality of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development countries in brokering talks with President Salva Kiir.
Most of the groups in the talks — South Sudan youth organisations and the Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) led by Riek Machar, opposition parties and the civil society — have been pushing for the talks to be removed from Igad, arguing it’s malleable to President Kiir.
Gabriel Dak, a member of the Senior Youth of South Sudan lobby group, said they have been lobbying for the peace talks to be handed over to the African Union and the United Nations.
Key Igad partner states — Kenya and Uganda — are being perceived to have taken President Kiir’s side.
The UN special advisor for prevention of genocide, Adama Dieng, and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, have specifically singled out Kenya and Uganda for fuelling the conflict by facilitating the flow of arms to South Sudan.
“Violence is likely to continue throughout South Sudan in part because some neighbouring countries are helping to arm government forces,” said Mr Guterres in a statement to the UN Security Council on February 27.
However, the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary of Foreign Affairs Monica Juma termed the allegations unfortunate and misguided.
“The situation in South Sudan remains extremely complex and such unhelpful statements must be avoided at this critical time in pursuit of a credible and all-inclusive peace process.
Kenya and neighbouring countries have had their patience tested to the limit, but have continued to soldier on without showing any signs of fatigue,” said Dr Juma.
The first phase of the Igad revitalisation programme was convened from February 5 to 16 to revisit the collapsed 2015 peace agreement with the objective of restoring a permanent ceasefire; incorporate all armed and unarmed interest groups and develop a realistic timeline and implementation schedule towards democratic elections at the end of the transitional period in October.
The three key outstanding issues that must be agreed on in the next round of talks are security arrangements to enforce the cessation of hostilities agreement signed in December last year; the restructuring of the transitional government and the power-sharing percentages.

There was no no official word on the on the alleged "security breach" in the offices of the Finance Minister and his aides--Advisor Omita Paul and Private Secretary Manoj Pant--and two conference rooms used by the minister, who had reportedly written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in September last year, except a brief statement by Mukherjee.
Mukherjee is said to have urged the Prime Minister to order a secret inquiry into the "serious breach of security in his office" in the form of "planted adhesives" in 16 locations in a possible surveillance attempt.
No live microphone or recording devices were found, he reportedly said in his letter to the Prim Minister three days after Central Board of Direct Taxes brought in private investigators to conduct an electronic sweep of the Ministry's VVIP chambers.
Confirming a part of the episode, Mukherjee told reporters that the Intelligence Bureau had made investigation into reported bugging in his offices and found "nothing".
"In respect of news item regarding bugging in my offices, the IB investigated into it and found nothing in it," he said without going into any details.

Saul Milton and Will Kennard have been performing as Chase and Status since 2004. In between relentless remixing, producing, and DJing, they released their debut album More Than A Lot in 2008. From all this activity they cemented their mastery of drum and bass and won fans from Snoop Dogg and Pharrell to DJ Hype and Pendulum. And now comes their sophomore effort, No More Idols.
Clearly this duo wants to bring techno music into the mainstream. We find elements of pop, R&B, reggae, and hard rock in each song, and a strong melodic sense permeates the album. While the frenetic drum and bass beats ground the album and provide consistency, each song features a different singer and its own mish-mash of styles. Their singles from this album are the soulful anthems “Blind Faith” and “Hypest Hype,” which sample The Doors’ “Been Down So Long” in a frenzied blues-reggae dance track with a heavy metal guitar riff. This stuff is coming at you so fast you don’t realize how many genres of music you’ve just heard until the third or fourth listen.
One of the great pleasures of this album is the duo’s mastery of dynamics. They never let you get tired of a particular beat, vocalist or riff. The record moves seamlessly through different BPMs and levels of energy. It feels like you’re driving through London from club to club late at night, picking up interesting strangers along the way.
While the absence of a consistent vocalist and style may cause long-term identity disorders (what is the Chase and Status sound?), this album is a virtuosic tour de force through the international club scene and modern urban life itself. No More Idols sounds like 2011.

The mayor of Hyattsville, Maryland, an urban area outside of Washington, DC, is dead at the age of 44 after committing suicide.
“It is with great sadness that we report that our beloved Hyattsville Mayor Kevin Ward passed away yesterday, January 25, from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” a post on the official website for Hyattsville said on Wednesday. “Mayor Ward was a valued and trusted leader and a fierce advocate for all the people of Hyattsville. We are heartbroken at this loss and extend our deepest sympathy to his family.”
Ward previously served as city council president in Hyattsville, located just north of the border between Maryland and the District of Columbia, and became mayor at the end of 2020 when then-Mayor Candace Hollingsworth stepped down. Ward, a Democrat, then won the mayoral election in May 2021.
Ward’s body was found by United States Park Police officers in Fort Marcy, a park in McLean, Virginia, according to WJLA.
“I am a pretty straightforward person,” Ward’s campaign website reads. “I believe in listening more than talking. But when I talk, I am not one to mince words or tell people what they want to hear. I believe in doing the work. I believe that if I can help someone, then I can change her or his life. This is why I dedicated my career to providing the best technology to education and human services, to help as many as I can.”
Ward leaves behind a husband and two sons.
“The First Lady and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Hyattsville Mayor Kevin Ward,” Maryland’s Republican Gov. Larry Hogan tweeted. “We extend our most heartfelt condolences to the Ward family and the people of Hyattsville as they grieve this tragic loss.”
The city did not immediately announce funeral details but said that community members in need of grief counseling or mental health support are encouraged to contact Community Crisis Services Inc. (dial 211 and press 1), or call 800-273-TALK, or the Affiliated Sante Group crisis support line at 301-429-2185.

Background: Parthenolide (PT), the effective active ingredient of the medicinal plant, feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), has been used as an anti-inflammatory drug due to its involvement in the inhibition of the NF-кB pathway. Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated the anti-tumor effect of PT in several cancers. However, the effect of PT on esophageal carcinoma remains unclear to date. In this study, we examined the inhibitory effects of PT and its underlying mechanism of action in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells – Eca109 and KYSE-510.
Methods: The proliferation ability of Eca109 and KYSE-510 treated with PT was detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 and colony forming assay. The Transwell assay and the wound healing assay were used to analyze the cell invasion and migration ability, respectively. The tube formation assay was used to investigate the effect of PT on tube formation of endothelial cells. The expression level of NF-кB, AP-1 and VEGF was analyzed by Western blot.
Results: We demonstrated that PT attenuates the proliferation and migration ability of ESCC cells in vitro and also inhibits tumor growth in the mouse xenograft model. In addition, PT exhibited anti-angiogenesis activity by weakening the proliferation, invasion and tube formation of endothelial cells in vitro and reduced microvessel density in the xenograft tumors. Further studies revealed that PT reduced the expression level of NF-кB, AP-1 and VEGF in ESCC cells.
Conclusion: Collectively, the results of our study demonstrated that PT exerts anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis effects possibly by inhibiting the NF-кB/AP-1/VEGF signaling pathway on esophageal carcinoma and might serve as a promising therapeutic agent for ESCC.
Keywords: parthenolide, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, NF-кB, VEGF, AP-1

Present day manufactured home: around too much to want
Whath2 a constructed residence?h2 They the suitable word to spell out exactly what was previously called a mobile room or truck.
That latest keyword regularly hold countless suitcase. But to believe that a forward thinking manufactured house is nothing like a 1970s trailer would be flat-out completely wrong. Processed housing now are safeguarded, cozy, spacious and completely showcased. And plenty of commons correct tends to be as different from the ’70s stereotypes of truck areas as you know.
Little wonder, 22 million People in america lived-in processed domiciles in 2017. And 10 percent off latest residences started that 12 months had been manufactured people.
Unfortuitously, processed property are hard to finance. Though with unsecured loans surfacing as a viable alternative, that could be altering.
h2TheMortgageReports and/or all of our couples are now not able to support all of the following countries – MA, NV
Strategy to finance a produced home
A lot of material about funding these domiciles tell you to become a home loan. And they’re ideal. You’ll probably spend considerably that way — if you should as well as the homes meet the requirements.
But, into the real-world, very often far from the truth. Staying qualified to receive a home mortgage, house necessity:
- Being constructed after 1976, get federal government tickets (find out graphics below) verifying they fulfills security and premium specifications whilst still being maintain great condition
- Become realh2 homes — That implies it has to be basically designated as real estate (without as an automobile or individual homes) and get dependent on house fees
- Comply with regional guidelines over their foundations and have experienced the wheel and axles taken away
- Have no enhancements (most notably some sorts of decking) that quit it complying with creditors’ criteria
Even if the homes suits those specifications, financial institutions frequently demand a whole lot more for small-value financial products than big your. Therefore you should explore all your capital choices, contains a private loan.
h2TheMortgageReports and/or the business partners are now incapable of website the subsequent countries – MA, NV
Unsecured loans were an authentic choice
In 2017, 77 percentage of recently constructed housing had been designated as personal residence instead of property. A person can’t financing personal residence with a mortgage.
So payday loans with bad credit Maryland that the owners of those own utilized unsecured loans as long as they required funding.
Unsecured loans has a large advantage over mortgage loans: the financial institution provides zero fascination with, or control of, house. that because you’re definitely not securing the loanh2 (supplying the lender permission to seize or repossess in the event that you default) utilizing genuine land. As an alternative, you’re borrowing this money based on your own signature by itself. In order to use the funds for any purpose you would like. The lender doesn’t cleaning.
That lender will, but tending much about acquiring its a reimbursement. They travelling to need to make certain you’re an excellent borrower. So that it travelling to check your credit file and achieve. And it’ll need examine your earnings and financial predicament to make certain are able to afford the monthly premiums. You’ll also need to become age 18 or over and have a legitimate public security multitude.
Different crucial advantages of personal loans over mortgage loans become that they’re generally affordable or free to set up. No high priced concept, escrow, or assessment prices. Loan company charge are generally loads reduced.
And that you take advantage of the income very much faster: normally within every week and quite often in 24 hours or less.
Tend to be consumer loan levels sufficient to finance a manufactured property?
Many lenders will advanced up to $100,000 to good borrowers. And that must adequate to pick an individual a enjoyable manufactured household. The common sales cost for a fresh one of those was $70,600 (excluding terrain) in 2018, based on the made cover Institute. Without a doubt, that discusses broad differences in proportions and you’ll be capable of geting a new, smaller (single-width) one around $40,000.
The natural way, used residences were much less pricey. Contingent location,
But, if you have to transfer the house to a new web site, you ought to anticipate a payment between $1,000 and $10,000, dependent upon the range and whath2 involved in disconnecting utilities and preparing home for travel.
If you’d like to shift one from a single
Whath2 a standard interest for your own loan?
Personal bank loan interest rates depend on how great a buyer you are actually, the variations become large.
Therefore, for those who have a great overall credit score, a smart revenue and lots of cash left at the conclusion of month-to-month once you’ve created bills on your more bills, you have access to an exceedingly low-rate. Indeed, you’ll discover charges of 4.99 percent if not reduced offered.
But if your credit history certainly worst, you’ll probably invest much, even more — assuming individuals will agree the job in any way. If we analyzed, we were able to come a particular loan company that will believe lending $50,000 to some one with a credit score of 620. Also it preferred mortgage of 21.5 percentage. Charges over 27 per cent won’t be uncommon for everyone with a low credit score.
As with every kinds of borrowing from the bank, you’ll stand-to profit dramatically should you research rates for all the lowest rates. For example, you shouldn’t join funding available from employees for the park your car exactly where you’re purchasing. At least, you will need ton’t do so without first banking whether discover more effective products available. A few momemts on the internet will save you big money.
Exactly why that be the better choice to shop for a processed home with your own mortgage
One reason why so many individuals really love made homes is that they’re so reasonably priced. At a time when it prices $107 a sq ft to construct a conventional, site-built home, it will cost you just $49 to create a manufactured a person. And, naturally, that 50 percent cutting passes into following sale market place, implies you can easily uncover a pre-owned manufactured household for a track.
Manufactured home mortgages are usually at reduced cent levels. And even though signature loans generally include improved rates than carry out mortgage loans, you’ll still might cut costs with manufactured home/personal money combination than you would probably with a stick-built house and a home mortgage.
Become approved for an individual loan
Around no far better time and energy to examine your eligibility for a personal debt for a home purchase. The carrier network of these lending is getting much larger each day, and much more corporations are providing way more tools.

This is one of the most popular small breeds. Its characteristic ducal walk and beautiful coat, which may be decorated in various ways, are its hallmark. Let us learn about Yorkshire Terriers, their personality and attitude towards people.
- Group 3: Terriers
- Section 2: Toy Terriers
- Without working trial.
The history of the breed
The breed’s name indicates the place of its origin – West Yorkshire County and bordering Greater Manchester located in the north of England. In the mid-19th century, Scottish millworkers came to Yorkshire searching for a job. They brought several different varieties of small Terriers with themselves and they were then the first who were developing the breed.
However, they did not care that much to pass some knowledge and provide information about the breed. Nonetheless, we know that the breed developed from three dogs: a male called Old Crab, a female Kitty and one other female. Each of those dogs was of a different breed: black and tan Terrier, Maltanese and Skye Terrier.
All Terriers originated from Scotland. The name Yorkshire was given due to the fact that the breed was developed in Yorkshire. In general, the first Yorkshire Terriers appeared in 1850. The name was introduced in 1870. The new breed has a lot in common with other terriers, in particular a hunting instinct, which is usually focused on toys and rodents.
In the beginning the name Yorkshire Terrier was used in relation to all the dogs resembling terriers – with long fawn or silver hair, small tail and trimmed ears. However, the first representative of the new breed was presented at the dog show Paisley Yorkshire terrier called Huddersfield Ben that belonged to a woman from Yorkshire – Marry Ann Foster.
The breed was registered by AKC (American Kennel Club) in 1885. In the Victorian Era Yorkshire Terrier was very popular and very often presented at the dog shows. In 1940 the breed’s popularity decreased. Yorkshire Terrier called Smoky become a famous war dog during World War II that renewed the popularity of its breed.
According to the breed standard, the fur should be shiny, straight, clean and silky soft. The fur is long and parted down in the middle of the back. It must not impede the movement.
The hair is dark grey to black, from the neck to the base of the tail. On the head, chest and upper part of the limbs the hair is light and tanned. At the endings the hair is the lightest. However, in general adults have different color variations and hair types.
Sometimes the fur may be woolly or, on the other hand, it may be very thin. Both of the variations meet the breed standard. The kennel clubs suggest that atypical varieties should not be bred on purpose. It is because the dogs that have atypical fur, may suffer from the genetic defects, which may be passed on the descendants. Moreover, the grooming of the more hairy variations is more difficult and time consuming.
The puppies are born with a black coat and brown spots on the muzzle, above the eyes, on the lining of the ears and under the tail. Some of them may have a white “star” on their chests or on the toes. It happens sometimes that puppies are born red, however both parents must have this trait. White accents do not constitute fault as they disappear with age. Usually, several-month old Terriers do not already have them. A final coloration, usually black or grey, may be achieved even when the dog is 3 years old.
The fur may be trimmed short in order to keep it healthy and clean however at the shows dogs must have long hair that are trimmed to the level of the ground, to the extent that they do not impede movement and look elegant. Hair on the limbs and on the tips of the ears is trimmed as well.
Long hair requires a lot of grooming. In order to avoid breaking the hair and damaging it may be wrapped in a rice paper or other products and special oil is applied. The substance should be washed out once a month and a new application must be made within a week. The grooming treatments were described in 1878 by John Walsh who enlisted products such as coconut oil that help growing a healthy fur.
It walks with a self-confidence. It is very active, caring and curious. It loves having everyone’s attention focused on it. It is not docile like other small breeds therefore it is rather not suitable for families with children. It is great for adults and children above 8 years old.
The breed may be easily trained, what results from its facility to work without human’s help. They were originally destined to serve as working dogs therefore they require a physical and psychical stimulation like for example long walks, formations and play.
When it feels fulfilled and satisfied is gladly lays on its owner laps. Within the breed, there are different dogs though. They may show their happiness in different ways. All those dogs are unique and have different needs.
The breed is prone to many different diseases: bronchitis, lymphangiectasis, liver diseases, cataract and dry eye syndrome. The dogs have delicate digestive system, they may suffer from vomiting and diarrhea resulting from unbalanced diet or bad food.
It does not react well to injections and anesthesia. In addition to that, it is more sensitive to the injuries caused by fall, other dogs’ attacks or their owners’ clumsiness. In the area where the injection was made, there may appear inflammations or hair loss. They are also prone to allergies.
Detailed information / size
- Height at shoulders: 15 to 23 cm (6 to 9 in)
- Weight: 1.81 to 3.17 kg (4 to 7 lb)
- Life span: 10 to 15 years
Yorkshire Terrier – curiosities
- The first representative of the breed was Huddersfield Ben – which is called the father of the breed.
- Stanley Coren ranked Yorkshire Terriers 27th in the ranking of the most intelligent breeds.
- Yorkshire Terriers tend to bark a lot, therefore they are god at alarming when there is a stranger near the house. An excessive barking may be reduced by the means of proper training.
- The dogs that weigh less than 1.3 kg (2.8 lb) live shorter than the heavier ones because they are more prone to the diseases such as diarrheas and vomiting as well as the sensibility to anesthesia, injections and injuries.
- The Yorkshire Terriers have a tendency to mouth diseases. This is due to the fact that their jaws are small and the teeth grow in the clench and therefore may easily fall. Clenched teeth are much more prone to the bacteria that result in periodontal diseases and in some cases – even to heart and kidney failure. In order to prevent from the complications it is recommended that the teeth are brushed with special toothpaste (the toothpaste for people may be harmful). It is also worth taking the dog to the veterinary doctor so that he could brush the teeth himself.

Early in The Aosawa Murders, Riku Onda writes that “it’s impossible to ever really know the truth behind events,” setting the tone of the mystery surrounding a horrible mass murder in 1970s Japan in which seventeen people are poisoned by cyanide after drinking a toast with sake and soft drinks. What starts as a jovial birthday party for three generations of the Aosawa family ends in the family, their relatives, and friends dying in agony. The only survivor in the Aosawa family is Hisako, their blind teenage daughter.
One has to be pretty dedicated to Russian literature to run across Alexander Grin (1880-1932). Nor, if this newly translated collection of (long) short stories is any indication, once one has found him, does Grin fit any expected mold.
Karine Khodikyan is one of Armenia’s foremost writers, with a body of work encompassing plays, film and TV scripts, fiction, and journalism. Armenian literature, like others of the Caucasus, is surely under-represented in the English-speaking world, but now Khodikyan’s collection of short fiction, The Door Was Open, has—via Nazareth Seferian’s smooth translation—been made available in English with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia.
Few contemporary works of fiction from Uzbekistan are translated into English directly. Those that have found their way into the English language are usually classical texts or themselves translations of Russian translations of the Uzbek originals. Given this scarcity of accessible modern Uzbek literature, the casual English language reader could be forgiven for not knowing upon what basis to judge the relative worth of a novel like Gaia, Queen of Ants by Hamid Ismailov.
Chan Ho-kei has worked as a software engineer and video game designer, and his knowledge of the latest technology shines through in his new high-tech thriller, Second Sister, his second novel to be translated into English.

Sokcho is a nondescript seaside town not far from the North Korean border. In the summer, Sokcho is a beach resort, if not the most upmarket; in winter, there is not much going on.

I dealt myself spades again this week, which means I read another story at Daily Science Fiction. What a lucky choice! Thank you, Deal Me In 2018!
The story on the day I chose to read was:
As a long-time writer with more rejection notices than I care to count, I relished this short piece from start to finish. I also
stalked followed Mr. Sonnek to both his blogs: Parenthetical Statements and Lab Rules. The kid is still in college, and he’s already FAF. We may have another Jim C. Hines on our hands, folks.
If YOU need a short story to read, I have free ones here on my Free Reads page. I also have four collections for 99 cents each linked from my Short Stories page. I’ve also just published a collection of extremely goofy stories about that fool, Lonnie, and his best friend, Tiny.
A WRITING PROMPT BASED ON MY POST: Write about rejection. Make it funny.

WHO runs Britain? Eco-campaigners and activist judges? Or our elected politicians?
Two years ago MPs overwhelmingly approved the third runway at Heathrow. Even in that dysfunctional Parliament it won a huge majority of 296.
They were all aware of climate change. But they also knew this was a vital step for us as an independent trading nation outside the EU. Even the CBI, no fans of Brexit, called it a “historic decision”.
But as with fracking, which could have slashed energy bills for millions and powered the UK for a generation, it has been killed off by a green lobby whose concerns, while understandable, always seem to trump our economy.
The Appeal Court claims the runway bid was flawed because it failed to factor in our agreement to end emissions by 2050. But how far will they take that argument? To any new transport infrastructure? Any new road?
The Government must find a way to stop its net-zero commitment, which The Sun supports, crippling our economy as our rivals flourish.
Equally it must stop courts running a parallel government and siding with pressure groups to block key decisions taken by MPs elected to do so.
It may not be in Boris Johnson’s personal interests to back a further appeal.
It is, however, in the national interest to radically and rapidly increase our airport capacity — or watch business and jobs disappear across the Channel.
PM’s tough talk
IT is hard to fault the PM’s pledge to abandon trade talks in three months if Brussels will not change its tune.
We will need six months to prepare for new border checks and WTO terms.
And EU demands are transparently ridiculous, even to its fans.
It is obviously crazy to try to tie a sovereign nation to foreign courts and laws and demand rights over its fishing waters.
The EU is still fed up about Brexit and keen to deter others. It needs to get over it, and prioritise its citizens’ jobs.
It is being utterly unreasonable and incoherent — and the world can see it.
ROUGH sleeping is falling far too slowly to be eliminated by the 2024 target date.
That said, we welcome the new money to tackle it — and the hiring of expert Dame Louise Casey, who slashed the numbers 20 years ago.
Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick rightly calls the issue “a moral scandal”.
Why, then, has it doubled under Tory rule?

BEST of luck to our Eurovision contender and his poorly timed song My Last Breath.
We’re not sure it’s coronavirus-related.
But it’s quite catchy.

"The Rainmaker" by John Coleman was inspired by the journals and diaries of the noted American painter George Catlin (1796 - 1872). During his travels, Catlin had observed a number of sacred, Indian ceremonies that involved an appeal to the Great Spirit for the life giving source of water, rain. This ceremony was virtually the same among pre-historic tribes of native Americans from coast to coast.

I am trying to create a new filter where I can look at the active bugs in a sprint.
The issue is that I do not want to go back and update the filter with the name of the new sprint each time we close out the previous sprint.
Is there a filter that will allow me to show just what is being worked on during the active sprint? Burn down charts allows you to chose what is to be shown by giving you an option of "Next Sprint Due (auto)". Can this same logic be applied to creating a filter?
We have tasks that started in team A in "SprintTeamA 1"
but were not completed. Now the tasks in team B are processed
in "SprintTeamB 2". If I want to display all tasks of team A
in the active sprint, the old tasks are also displayed.
I used this filter:
Sprint in openSprints() AND Sprint not in futureSprints() and Sprint = SprintTeamA
I would like see this:
Sprint = active Sprint TeamA ("SprintTeamA 2")
I use the filter in a dashboard and don't want to adjust the sprint every time.
You can use the openSprints JQl function. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/advanced-searching-functions-reference-764478342.html#Advancedsearching-functionsreference-openSprintsopenSprints() for more details.

These colorful Chicken Teriyaki Buddha Bowls are easy to prepare and packed with delicious vegetables and served over brown rice. Sponsored by Crazy Cuizine.
I love taking care of my family and cooking for them. When they were toddlers and had frustrating taste buds to contend with, I would double down and find new foods for them to try. As the kiddos grew up, the food challenges evolved.
Today I have teenagers. Do you have any idea how much teenage boys eat?! The pots of soup I make every week are now GIANT pots. And despite making homemade lunches, dinners and snacks for them, there is never enough food around to satisfy these endless appetites.
Sometimes, I need quick meals that are easy for anyone to whip up because this family of five has a ridiculous schedule of extra curricular activities to manage. I need easy meals that can be a hearty lunch, a satisfying dinner or even an in-between meal to curb the hangry teens before dinner.
And that’s why I always have something in the freezer when I don’t have time to cook a fully homemade meal.
These Chicken Teriyaki Buddha Bowls are a terrific way to feed the family when time is short. I used Crazy Cuizine Teriyaki Chicken which was super easy to heat up in the microwave or pan. My kids absolutely love brown rice, so I use that as the base of these chicken teriyaki bowls.
Buddha Bowls are basically grain bowls packed with vegetables and a protein. For the grain, you can use white rice, brown rice, quinoa or any other grain you like. When I make my bowls, I pack them with as many colorful vegetables that I can find. For these bowls I used purple cabbage, carrots, snow pea pods and radishes.
I do not cook the vegetables, because we like them on the crispy side. The steamy hot rice and chicken teriyaki will warm up the shredded vegetables, but they will still retain the crunch we love. Garnish with green onions and sprouts, and you have a satisfying and delicious meal that is super easy to prepare.
- 1 Box 18 - 20 oz (or ½ of a 38 - 40 oz clubstore box) Crazy Cuizine Teriyaki Chicken (frozen)
- 1 ½ cups brown rice (uncooked)
- 3 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cabbage, red or green
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 16 snow pea pods
- 2 radishes, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
- ¼ cup sprouts
- In a medium sized pot add brown rice, water and salt.
- Bring rice to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook until water is absorbed and rice is done, about 45 minutes.
- Place a pan over medium high heat and add Crazy Cuisine Teriyaki Chicken.
- Cook chicken for 6 minutes or until hot, then add all of the Teriyaki Sauce and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Divide steamed rice into 4 bowls and top with teriyaki chicken.
- Arrange carrots, snow peas and radishes in the bowls with the chicken.
- Top with green onions and sprouts.

If I were a farmer I might curse this invasive plant. But as a forager, I look forward to its generous annual fall crop of fruit. Autumn olive was brought to the U.S from Japan in the 19th century, and it did so well here that in the mid-1900s the U.S. Soil Conservation Service recommended it as a windbreak and for erosion control. Oops!
Birds love autumn olive fruit (almost as much as foragers do) and they do an excellent job of dispersing the seed, which germinates in all kinds of adverse conditions. This plant has another advantage: it’s a nitrogen fixer, which allows it to thrive in poor soils. And the Missouri Botanic Garden tells me that a single plant can produce up to 80 pounds of fruit and up to 200,000 seeds. For all of these reasons, feel free to harvest as much silverberry as you like. You will not make a dent in the population, and there will still be plenty left for all kinds of wildlife (including other foragers).
It is astonishingly easy to harvest vast quantities of fruit, just by running your hands down the stems of the plant, but watch out for the thorns. Some foragers lay a tarp at the base of a shrub and shake the fruit off…a smart way to avoid injury and insure that only the truly ripe fruit goes home with you. Autumn olive is listed as invasive in many states east of the Mississippi.
Let’s take a moment to discuss its common names. I prefer Silverberry or Autumnberry to Autumn Olive (its most common common name) for several reasons:
- While the foliage resembles that of a true olive, the fruit is red and sweet/tart, i.e nothing like an olive.
- It reminds people of Russian Olive, which is much less tasty and not nearly as versatile as a human food ingredient.
- Silverberry is much more descriptive, since the undersides of the leaves are silver AND the ripe fruit is flecked with silver.
Silverberries usually ripen in September and October, depending on where you forage. Fruit looks ripe long before it actually is, and unripe fruit is quite astringent, so taste a berry or two before you fill your foraging bags. Ripe fruit will still have a sour edge, but it will be pleasant rather than puckering.
Silverberries are high in vitamin C and lycopene, and they’re tasty raw or cooked. The seed is large relative to the size of the fruit, so you’ll want to spit that out if you eat silverberry as a trail nibble. But don’t spit it out on the ground because then you’ll be doing what the birds do, i.e dispersing the seed!
Silverberry juice makes an excellent jelly, and can be substituted for lemon juice in a meringue pie. Or, run the fruit through a food mill and use the pulp to make a pretty quick bread using your favorite banana bread recipe.

As a St. Louis tractor-trailer accident attorney, I was very pleased to read about a trucking accident that could have ended much worse than it did. As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Feb. 5, Stacey Spies, 37, suffered a mild concussion and a major fright after a sheet of ice fell from a semi ahead of her on Interstate 70. Spies, of St. Peters, was traveling about 60 mph when the ice broke the windshield of her car and hit her in the side of the head. Luckily, she was able to stop without being involved in another accident, and suffered only minor injuries. No one else was injured, but another motorist stopped and helped her stay calm until help arrived. It wasn’t reported whether the truck driver stopped or even noticed the accident.
Spies said she felt “very, very lucky” that the accident was not worse. She was traveling east on Interstate 70 on the afternoon of Feb. 3, several lanes to the left of the semi truck. From there, she was able to see the sheet of ice come off the top of the truck and head through the windshield of her Chevy Cavalier. She said she grabbed the wheel and screamed, but came to a complete stop in her own lane, then called 911 to get help from the Missouri Highway Patrol. The Missouri Highway Patrol reminded all drivers to clear as much ice and snow as possible from their vehicles, because even a small piece of ice can weigh several pounds. A spokesperson for the AAA of Missouri said ice on the roofs of vehicles can also fall on the vehicle’s own windshield, blinding the driver.
I’m pleased that Spies and other passers-by on the interstate were not badly hurt. But as a southern Illinois semi truck accident lawyer, I’m disappointed that no mention was made here of the truck driver’s culpability in this accident. In many states, state laws specifically require drivers to clear snow and ice from their roofs, often in response to accidents worse than this. That’s not the case in Missouri and Illinois, but both states do make drivers responsible for maintaining their vehicles and ensuring they’re safe to drive. In addition to any citation or criminal charges, drivers and their auto insurance companies could face lawsuits from anyone they injure by failing to make sure their vehicles are free of ice before they get on the road.
If your family has been hurt by a truck driver’s negligence, you should call Carey, Danis & Lowe right away. That includes more conventional trucking accidents as well as accidents caused by ice or auto parts that fly from large trucks at highway speeds, endangering everyone around them. Our Missouri 18-wheeler accident attorneys prefer to take these cases as early as possible, because an early start can make a big difference in dealing with trucking companies and their insurance companies. Ordinary drivers don’t expect to have catastrophic truck accidents – but for trucking companies, they are part of the cost of doing business. To make sure your right to fair compensation is preserved, it’s essential to talk to an attorney before taking any money or agreeing to sign or record anything for the insurer.
Carey, Danis & Lowe offers free consultations to all potential clients, so you can speak to us without any further obligation or cost. To set up a meeting, call us toll-free at 1-877-678-3400 or send us an email today.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Juniors Sarah Dahlstrom (Southborough, Mass.) and Brianna Tabin (South Hadley, Mass.) and senior Stephanie Okpoebo (Chelmsford, Mass.) each set new Holy Cross school records on Saturday as the women's track and field team finished sixth at the 2014 Patriot League Outdoor Championship, hosted by Navy.
Dahlstrom totaled a new school-high in heptathlon with 4,289 points, finishing fifth overall. The previous record was 4,202 set in 1991. Tabin finished second in the 100-meter dash and surpassed the previous Patriot League record of 11.68 seconds with a school record and career-fastest time of 11.68. Okpoebo finished third in the race with a career-fastest time of 11.70. Okpoebo won the 200-meter dash with a new Patriot League and school record time of 24.05 seconds. Tabin finished fourth in the race with a career-fastest time of 24.58.
Sophomore Catherine Gildea (Milford, Conn.) posted a third place finish in the 800-meter run with a career-best time of 2:13.20 while fellow classmate Caroline Carley (Barrington, Ill.) finished sixth in the event with a time of 2:14.14. Carley also finished sixth in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:35.77.

The 4x100-meter relay team also earned second team All-Patriot League honors.
Qualifying members of the women's track and field team will return to action on Friday and Saturday, May 9-10, at the New England Outdoor Championship beginning at 10:00 a.m.


The unit is far from terrible but not close to perfect either. I'd like to see the following in it:
- Capacitive screen. Absolutely essential. After using one, resistive screens look bad and feel bad. Multitouch may be a gimmick, but it's one I want, very much so.
- Better battery. I'm getting maybe 100mins of wifi usage and not much more on standby. I want days worth of standby.
- Better processor/graphics/UI. I don't know who is to blame here. Maybe Android isn't using the graphics processor well. Maybe the graphics processor is poor. Maybe the CPU is the bottleneck. Who knows? I just want it to be better.
- Hardware HDMI output on/off switch.
- GPS/Bluetooth. I can buy a GPS unit for €15. A bluetooth dongle for €2. There's lots of room inside.
- A digital compass.
- Beer dispenser. This is my daydream after all!
- A screen twice as big. Almost square, like 1200 * 1024. That would be about 13" on the diagonal. But just so much better... although I could live without these last two.
I'm not alone in searching for a better way! Here are some other people looking to improve their pads:

Researchers are working to better measure how much water is lost to evaporation at the nation's two largest reservoirs as part of effort they say could lead to new water management strategies.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Desert Research Institute have teamed up to study evaporation at Lake Powell, building upon ongoing research at Lake Mead, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported last week.
The researchers deployed floating platforms with remote sensors on the lake at the Arizona-Utah border to measure water temperature, weather conditions and other variables. From the data collected over next two to three years, they aim to produce a more accurate evaporation estimate that could be applied to measuring rates elsewhere.
"It's a difficult number to measure," said Chris Pearson, assistant research scientist of hydrology at the institute based in Reno, Nev. "It's not just a Lake Powell problem. It's a science problem."
The current way of estimating water losses from evaporation is "not considered very representative" of the actual amounts, said Jed Parker, a hydrologic engineer with the bureau. The estimates could be off by 20 or 30 percent, Pearson said.
"I'd say the current estimates have a lot of uncertainty in them," Pearson said.
Under the current estimate system, Lake Powell lost about 386,000 acre-feet of water last year. Estimations for Lake Mead east of Las Vegas show it losing more than 600,000 acre-feet of water each year. One acre-foot of water is enough to supply two average Las Vegas homes for about a year.
Water managers cannot do much to stop evaporation, but more accurate measurements could lead to better water budgeting on the Colorado River, which supplies about 40 million people, Parker said.
"That's why we're spending the money and trying to refine the method," Parker said.
The U.S. Geological Survey launched a similar study at Lake Mead in 2010, finding in the first year that observed evaporation was 4.5 percent higher than the estimate. In the second year, the observed evaporation was 5.3 percent lower than the estimate. The research also indicated that evaporation was overestimated in the summer and underestimated in the fall.
Parker and Pearson anticipate similar findings at Lake Powell.

|State’s trade unions to hold rally tomorrow|
GUWAHATI, Dec 3 – Members of the State's trade unions will centrally hold a rally on December 5 at 11 am on the bank of the Dighalipukhuri, as part of a countrywide protest programme against the alleged bids of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) - led Central Government to amend the labour laws to suit the interest of the capitalists.
They will also oppose the bids of the Central Government to open the important sectors like insurance, railways and defence for foreign direct investments (FDIs).
They also resent the apathy shown by the Central Government towards the issues concerning minimum wage, implementation of the labour laws, arresting rise in the prices of essential commodities and social security for the workers engaged in the unorganised sectors, among others.
The participants of the rally will also stage a demonstration in front of the Kamrup (Metro) Deputy Commissioner's office and send a memorandum to the Prime Minister, through the Deputy Commissioner, said a pamphlet.
Members of the trade unions in other parts of the State will stage demonstrations at their respective district headquarters that day on the above issues.
Over twenty trade unions of the State have said in the pamphlet that representatives of the trade unions of Nagaon, Morigaon,
Kamrup (Metro), Kamrup, Nalbari and Darrang districts will take part in the Guwahati programmes on December 5.
Trade union members belonging to other parts of the country will stage demonstrations at their respective state capitals and district headquarters on the above issues the same day.

Published on Wednesday, April 1, 2020
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by the pathogen Cercospora sojina, is a common soybean foliar disease of many soybean-producing regions worldwide. In the U.S., the disease is established in southern production regions and has recently become prevalent in the Midwest and Upper Midwest. It’s believed that the range expansion and increased disease severity are caused by widespread planting of susceptible varieties, warmer winter temperatures, and the increased adoption of conservation tillage practices, which, together, lead to increased inoculum levels. FLS does not always cause yield loss, but yield loss of up to 60% has been reported with severe infection rates.
FLS overwinters in infected residue, primarily residue left on the soil surface; infected seeds can also carry the disease. FLS infections occur in warm, moist conditions, mainly on new leaves, because older leaves are less susceptible to disease development. Rain splashing spreads spores from the ground to young leaves. The disease is polycyclic, meaning that multiple infection cycles can occur within the same year because the FLS disease lesions produce spores. If warm, moist, or rainy conditions persist, new infection of young leaves can occur as long as conducive weather continues. Storms and wind can spread spores throughout a field and to new fields. Hurricanes move spores great distances and result in northward movements of the disease.
Symptoms typically occur from growth stage R1 to R6 in soybeans, though symptoms can occur at any time. FLS causes small, up to ¼ in., lesions that are circular or slightly irregular in shape. The lesions begin as small, gray, water-soaked spots and develop into tan or gray necrotic lesions with red to brown borders. Sometimes, the lesions can be surrounded by a chlorotic halo. Lesions are thin and can leave holes in the leaves. In highly susceptible varieties or severe infections, lesions may join together to form larger lesions on the leaves. In rare and extreme situations, pod and stem infections have been observed. Severe infections may result in premature leaf drop. Seeds may be infected when lesions occur on the pods. Gray blotches may appear on infected seeds, or the disease may be asymptomatic on the seed. Since FLS infects new tissue growth, it is common to fi nd symptoms in one layer of the canopy (i.e., on the 6th trifoliate) but not on leaves above or below that point if favorable conditions for disease development did not continue. When favorable conditions persist, symptoms will continue to appear on new leaves and exist in multiple layers of the canopy.
Frogeye leaf spot overwinters in infested soybean residue. Crop rotation out of soybeans for at least one season will reduce inoculum. Tillage will bury residue and decrease inoculum; however, neither of these will completely mitigate the risk of infection. Since seed can be infected, it is import ant to plant certified seed that is free of infection and to use a comprehensive seed treatment.
Resistance genes have been identified for FLS. Planting resistant varieties is one of the most cost-effective means of controlling FLS. If FLS is a known problem, plant a variety that is rated high for resistance to FLS.
Applying fungicides that are labeled for control of FLS is an effective strategy to control this disease. FLS has shown widespread resistance to the Qol or strobilurin group of fungicides (FRAC code 11). It’s recommended to apply a fungicide with at least two effective modes of action to prevent resistance development. Beck’s Practical Farm Research (PFR)® has identified the R3 reproductive stage as the most economical time to apply a foliar fu ngicide. In a study conducted by The Ohio State University, fungicide applications were economical when one to two lesions were present in 25 ft. of the row at R2.

Major-General Joseph Hooker, having been appointed to succeed Major-General Burnside, assumed the command of the army of the Potomac, and issued general orders to that effect from his headquarters at Falmouth, Va.--Major-Generals W. B. Franklin and E. V. Sumner relinquished their commands in the army of the Potomac.--At Vicksburgh Miss., the gunboat Chillicothe was engaged in shelling the lower rebel batteries, without provoking a return fire.
Early this morning a party of rebels in ambush, commanded by a lieutenant of the Second South-Carolina infantry, attacked a scouting-party of twenty-one men from Colonel De Cesnola's cavalry brigade near Morrisville, Va., killing a scout named Michael A. Fagan, company C, Fourth New York cavalry, and wounding another scout named Dixon, of the Ninth New York cavalry.--New York Times, February 1.
The bark Golden Rule, Captain Whitebury, belonging to the Panama Railroad Company, was captured by the privateer Alabama, fifty miles south of St. Domingo. The Alabama sent a boat's crew on board the ship, and the captain was asked if his cargo belonged to neutral owners. He replied that it did, whereupon Semmes demanded the evidence of the fact. This could not be produced, as the captain had not even a bill of lading to show that his cargo was shipped by neutrals. Semmes informed him that if he had even a consular certificate that any portion of his cargo was the property of neutrals, he would let him depart unmolested. In the absence of such evidence the officers and crew were removed to the Alabama, portable articles of value were taken, and the ship set on fire and destroyed. The captain was allowed the liberty of the ship, but the mates and crew were placed in irons. The captain was treated with great kindness, and all hands safely landed at the city of St. Domingo.
A short skirmish took place at Woodbury, Tenn., between General Palmer's division of Grant's army and seven rebel regiments, resulting in the defeat and rout of the latter, with a loss of thirty-five killed, including a rebel colonel, and over one hundred prisoners. General Palmer had two killed and nine wounded.--At Mendota, Illinois, a grand Union meeting was held at which resolutions were adopted and speeches were made indorsing the action of President Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation.--Chicago Tribune.
In the rebel Congress in session at Richmond, a desultory debate occurred on a resolution introduced by Mr. Crockett of Kentucky, with reference to the conditions on which peace should be negotiated. Mr. Foote of Tennessee indicated the claims and interest which Maryland would have in such a negotiation, as the faith of Congress had been pledged that peace should not be concluded without securing to her a free election of what her position should be. He expressed continued faith in the loyalty and patriotism of the people of Maryland, and thought that no more prejudice should attach to the position of this State than to that of Kentucky and Missouri. He ridiculed the idea of a Border Confederacy. He was not in favor of any political confederation with the States of the North-West. He had been misrepresented in this respect. He was in favor of a military league, offensive and defensive, with any one of the North-Western States that would lay down her arms, and he would assist and protect such State against the power of the Lincoln Government. He thought that by proper influences and methods the North-West could be disjointed from New England and the Middle States in this war in less than sixty days. After touching a number of topics in connection with the probable event of a negotiation for peace, Mr. Foote said he was not prepared to discuss the whole subject within the confines of the  present resolution before the House, but that he would at a future time submit some enlarged resolutions on the subject.--Richmond Examiner. Governor Vance of North-Carolina, issued a proclamation commanding the soldiers of that State who were illegally absent from their regiments in the rebel army, to return to duty on or before the tenth day of February, under pain of being tried, and, upon conviction, executed for desertion.

Memorial service for Cameron Reilly
The mother of murdered teenager Cameron Reilly has thanked staff and students of Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) for a memorial ceremony held for him.
Cameron (18) was a first-year student in hospitality studies in DkIT when he was killed. A man has been charged with his murder.
Last Wednesday the college held the ceremony and planted a tree in Cameron’s memory.
Afterwards the hospitalities studies department said: “While we all wish we were gathering under different circumstances, it was a fitting event to remember a lovely young man who left us too soon. Cameron, you still live in our hearts and minds.”

The Navy Should Ship Out
Just off the east coast of Puerto Rico lies the little island of Vieques, home to a small town of 9,000 United States citizens. That would be unremarkable were the island not also the home of a huge base where the US Navy conducts live-fire exercises.
In no other location does live bombing take place so close to a significant civilian population. It doesn't take much to see the potential for disaster, and the Puerto Rican government has for years tried to get the Navy to move the exercises elsewhere.
San Juan's campaign got a new push in April, when a Marine jet accidentally bombed a civilian guard post, killing a guard and wounding four others. It was just the latest in a litany of injuries to Vieques residents and created a public furor in Puerto Rico.
Recently, the Navy admitted that another Marine jet mistakenly fired shells with radioactive depleted uranium at Vieques in early March. Use of such shells on the island is illegal.
None of the 50 states would tolerate a bombing range so close to a town. A state's congressional delegation would make sure any such operation got shut down. But Puerto Rico isn't a state; its governor and nonvoting delegate to the House must rely on persuasion instead.
We're persuaded. It's time for the Navy to phase out the live-fire exercises or move them to a safer location.
And it's also time for Congress to set up a neutral process by which Puerto Ricans can decide whether they're ready for statehood, with the advantages - and responsibilities - that entails.

Want to use the Fanatec Magnetic shifters on your older style Fanatec wheel?
We cannot believe that Fanatec decided to only supply thier new shifters with a 6 pin plug and therefore only make them compatible with the newer wheels!!
This simple adapter converts the 6 pin to the older style 2 pin plug.
Although they are simple they take us time to make, so sorry they cannot be cheaper.
If there is demand we will gladly publish the parts and what you need to do. Please ask if you want this info.
We have not tried fitting the shifters to any wheels yet, but will be trying them on the Formula e-sports, Carbon and Black together with the BMW and Porsche 918.
This is for a pair of adapters so enough for a set of the shifters.
Relates to these
If anyone wants to make these themselves the following parts are needed
- Molex Pico-spox 6 pin male plug 1.5mm pich CLICK HERE
- JST 2.0mm PH 2-Pin female plug to go to the wheel like this CLICK HERE
Wire like this, it does not matter which way round the red / black wires go.
