Tax Lien Lawyers in San Benito
In San Benito, Texas, a "lien" is specified as a property right that's authorized to a creditor against a piece of property owned by a debtor, for the purpose of collecting on the debt if the debtor is unwilling or unable to pay. A lien permits its owner to exercise some control over the property that is the subject of the lien. This includes the right to force a sale of the property, and to seize the resulting revenue, and priority access to the property ahead of other creditors.
A tax lien, then, is simply a lien that is established for the particular purpose of collecting taxes from a delinquent tax payer in San Benito, Texas.
Tax liens in San Benito, Texas are ineffective if the taxpayer doesn't have any property to place the lien on. However, practically any property, including that which the taxpayer acquires after the lien goes into effect, can be affected by a tax lien.
Tax Lien Procedure in San Benito, Texas
Imposing a tax lien in San Benito, Texas is normally an uncomplicated process. Usually, the tax authorities simply have to make a decision that the taxpayer is delinquent in their taxes, and that imposing and enforcing a tax lien will actually be worth the effort.
Then, the IRS, or state tax authorities, send a "notice and demand," informing the taxpayer that they owe back taxes, and that they are obligated to pay their taxes within 10 days.
If that time period expires, and the debtor still hasn't paid, the Texas tax lien will go into effect automatically, with no additional action required.
But, these rights are limited. In San Benito, Texas, and everywhere else in the United States, the IRS has 10 years to enforce a tax lien. If they do nothing about it within 10 years, the lien expires. This rule exists for a few reasons. First, it encourages the IRS to act as quickly and efficiently as possible, and not "sit on its rights." Additionally, it acknowledges the fact that any encumbrance on a piece of property, such as a lien, makes the property less valuable. By guaranteeing that the lien will either be satisfied or expire within 10 years, this prevents property from being withheld from the stream of commerce forever.
How Can a San Benito, Texas Tax Lien Lawyer Help?
If you receive notice from the federal government, or the government of Texas that a tax lien has been imposed on your property, some pretty intricate legal issues are necessarily involved.
Luckily, San Benito, Texas tax attorneys can help. If you are facing the prospect of a tax lien, you should not hesitate to seek skilled legal advice, to ensure that your legal rights are protected.

Eswatini, MTN Bushfire Festival, an event that left a trail of euphoria in its wake, has once again proven its unrivalled prowess in igniting the senses. With hearts still echoing with the rhythms of joy, we extend our deepest gratitude to the visionary organisers who crafted an otherworldly experience. Nestled within the breathtaking House on Fire venue, in the very heart of the majestic Malkerns Valley, Swaziland, this annual explosion of entertainment transformed reality into a kaleidoscope of magic and wonder.
This captivating event presented a tantalising feast for the senses, where music, art, and fashion intertwined to create an unforgettable experience. For three dazzling days, the town was enlivened by the harmonious melodies, spirited libations, and a wave of visitors from Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, and even the Caribbean seeking to revel in the magic of the festival.
Drawing in over 20,000 residents and passionate visitors alike, Bushfire Festival has become a must-attend event, renowned worldwide for its celebration of music, arts, and culture. Steeped in rich history since its inception in 2006, this visionary extravaganza not only nurtures artistic talent but also champions social responsibility. It serves as a catalyst for the flourishing arts scene, encouraging the joy of creative expression while inspiring all attendees to contribute meaningfully to society. With a diverse range of activities, Bushfire Festival captivates fashion enthusiasts through a captivating Bushfire merchandise collection by local talents, awe-inspiring art exhibitions, thought-provoking discussions, and inspiring guest speakers in the workshops leading up to the main event.
Although the festival takes place at the start of winter, the Bushfire crowd certainly brought the heat over the three-day event. When my colleague Mmamello Motake informed us that we would be covering one of the biggest festivals in the world, I immediately got excited because I know how Africans love to dress up for events in general, so I could not wait to witness different people coming from all corners of Africa.
Our team got to step into a realm where culture intertwines with style, where vibrant rhythms moved our souls and feet, and where fashion became a canvas for individuality to flourish. Most come for the incredible music lineup filled with local African talent; others attend for the food and market, and all come with the intention to look good, and to capture themselves living in their favourite moments. People were intentional with their style and looks as this is the one place where people can be free to ignite their exaltation.
As a fashion lover myself, it is only natural I recount the fashion spectacle we witnessed over the three electrifying days. Prepare to be immersed in a tapestry of defining fashion themes by the evoking characters I have encountered.
First, I delve into the spellbinding world of Afro-futurism that I picked up. Afrofuturism fashion is a pulsating fusion of traditional African aesthetics and futuristic elements. A few fashion-forward pilgrims dressed to the occasion in a way that removed time and immersed us into a fantasy that truly set the tone for the festival. Bushfire is their world, and we get to experience it.
Eswatini Festival Core
Next, we explore the Swati’s in bohemian reverie, which is the core essence of festival fashion. I was amused by the sea of flowing fabrics, vibrant embroideries, and whimsical prints that not only captivated our eyes but also transported us to a dreamlike state. Flirty ensembles adorned with ethereal layers, statement pieces paired with funky eyewear, and intricately woven fabrics adorning the hair as headpieces, all harmonized in a symphony of carefree elegance.
The enchanting Bushfire Festival in Eswatini saw a captivating sartorial symphony unfold as stylish souls merged the vibrant tapestry of African tradition with their Western threads. Quite a few festival-goers, irrespective of race, fused beadwork and radiant prints with cosmopolitan fabrics. Though I have witnessed this collaboration between African and Western clothing countless times before, I found myself wondering if I would come across anything truly remarkable worth documenting. At Bushfire, however, I was not disappointed. It was in the way people artfully styled their hair or how individuals from different races showed their appreciation for traditional prints in their attire. The festival became a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of heritage and an exquisite storytelling of harmonious unity.
Hair is The Heroin
Afros and vibrant colors were the memos I wished I had received. . We saw hair metamorphosised into magnificent puffy clouds, paying homage to the nostalgic spirit of the 1969 Woodstock festival. But it didn’t stop there; audacious interplays of electrifying pink, green, and purple braids, as well as free-flowing hair, showcasing an unapologetic rebellion against the mundane, daring us to embrace the fire. Lastly, and personally my favourite, were the visionaries who skillfully weaved ethereal fabric through their hair. These individuals defy convention, and I hope to see more daring hair expressions in settings beyond festivals.
Effortlessly Cool Boys
In the midst of all the passion and extravagance, the effortlessly cool boys in urban streetwear swag still managed to stand out. Their outfits were a dynamic blend of an “I didn’t really try to look this cool” attitude and boundless creativity. Amidst their ensembles, high-end brands stealthily made an appearance, neatly coordinated knits, and utilitarian denim boilers served as the perfect canvas for street art-inspired motifs. Through their fashion choices, these festival-goers expressed their rebellious spirit and their desire to make a statement effortlessly, without breaking a sweat.
The last theme was an unexpected surprise, and I absolutely enjoyed witnessing the carefree spirit of the festival-goers when the sun emerged. As the final day of the three-day festival unfolded, a warm kiss bid farewell, causing everyone in attendance to momentarily forget that the winter season loomed ahead. It became a shirtless Sunday, with scorching hot energy filling the air and exposed skin radiating under the sun’s embrace. Men and women strutted, embracing their shirtless attire, either donning casual jackets or opting to cut off the bottoms of their tops, allowing their abdomens to bask in the refreshing air.
The fashion at Bushfire Festival went beyond mere aesthetics. It served as a visual representation of the festival’s ethos, where artistic expression seamlessly intertwined with social consciousness. Attendees consciously chose to wear local clothing, reflecting their commitment to preserving their culture and utilising their creativity to inspire dreams. The diverse looks became tangible manifestations of the African fantasy, embodying harmony, inclusivity, and innovative community, leaving a positive impact on all fortunate enough to witness them.
Bushfire Festival is an integral part of the vibrant tapestry. As the sun set on each day of this extraordinary event and rose anew, the fashion at Bushfire Festival continued to inspire, provoke, and captivate enthusiasts from around the world, leaving an indelible mark on the realm of creative expression.

Principle of double effect
Euthanasia and the slippery slope
Euthanasia (from the Greek: εὐθανασία meaning "good death": εὖ, eu (well or good) + θάνατος, thanatos (death)) refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering.
There are different euthanasia laws in each country. The British House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics defines euthanasia as "a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering". In the Netherlands, euthanasia is understood as "termination of life by a doctor at the request of a patient".
Euthanasia is categorized in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary. Voluntary euthanasia is legal in some countries and U.S. states. Non-voluntary euthanasia is illegal in all countries. However, in the Netherlands, physicians can avoid prosecution by following well described and strict conditions when non-voluntary euthanasia is performed on infants. Involuntary euthanasia is usually considered murder.
Like other terms borrowed from history, "euthanasia" has had different meanings depending on usage. The first apparent usage of the term "euthanasia" belongs to the historian Suetonius who described how the Emperor Augustus, "dying quickly and without suffering in the arms of his wife, Livia, experienced the 'euthanasia' he had wished for." The word "euthanasia" was first used in a medical context by Francis Bacon in the 17th century, to refer to an easy, painless, happy death, during which it was a "physician's responsibility to alleviate the 'physical sufferings' of the body." Bacon referred to an "outward euthanasia"—the term "outward" he used to distinguish from a spiritual concept—the euthanasia "which regards the preparation of the soul."
In current usage, one approach to defining euthanasia has been to mirror Suetonius, regarding it as the "painless inducement of a quick death". However, it is argued that this approach fails to properly define euthanasia, as it leaves open a number of possible actions which would meet the requirements of the definition, but would not be seen as euthanasia. In particular, these include situations where a person kills another, painlessly, but for no reason beyond that of personal gain; or accidental deaths which are quick and painless, but not intentional.
Thus another approach is to incorporate the notion of suffering into the definition. The definition offered by the Oxford English Dictionary incorporates suffering as a necessary condition, with "the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma", and this approach can be seen as a part of other works, such as Marvin Khol and Paul Kurtz's "a mode or act of inducing or permitting death painlessly as a relief from suffering". However, focusing on this approach to defining euthanasia may also lead to counterexamples: such definitions may encompass killing a person suffering from an incurable disease for personal gain (such as to claim an inheritance), and commentators such as Tom Beauchamp & Arnold Davidson have argued that doing such would constitute "murder simpliciter" rather than euthanasia.
The third element incorporated into many definitions is that of intentionality – the death must be intended, rather than being accidental, and the intent of the action must be a "merciful death". Michael Wreen argued that “the principal thing that distinguishes euthanasia from intentional killing simpliciter is the agent's motive: it must be a good motive insofar as the good of the person killed is concerned”, a view mirrored by Heather Draper, who also spoke to the importance of motive, arguing that "the motive forms a crucial part of arguments for euthanasia, because it must be in the best interests of the person on the receiving end." Definitions such as that offered by the House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics take this path, where euthanasia is defined as "a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering." Beauchamp & Davidson also highlight Baruch Brody's "an act of euthanasia is one in which one person ... (A) kills another person (B) for the benefit of the second person, who actually does benefit from being killed".
Draper argued that any definition of euthanasia must incorporate four elements: an agent and a subject; an intention; a causal proximity, such that the actions of the agent lead to the outcome; and an outcome. Based on this, she offered a definition incorporating those elements, stating that euthanasia "must be defined as death that results from the intention of one person to kill another person, using the most gentle and painless means possible, that is motivated solely by the best interests of the person who dies." Prior to Draper, Beauchamp & Davidson had also offered a definition which includes these elements, although they offered a somewhat longer account, and one that specifically discounts fetuses in order to distinguish between abortions and euthanasia:
"In summary, we have argued ... that the death of a human being, A, is an instance of euthanasia if and only if (1) A's death is intended by at least one other human being, B, where B is either the cause of death or a causally relevant feature of the event resulting in death (whether by action or by omission); (2) there is either sufficient current evidence for B to believe that A is acutely suffering or irreversibly comatose, or there is sufficient current evidence related to A's present condition such that one or more known causal laws supports B's belief that A will be in a condition of acute suffering or irreversible comatoseness; (3) (a) B's primary reason for intending A's death is cessation of A's (actual or predicted future) suffering or irreversible comatoseness, where B does not intend A's death for a different primary reason, though there may be other relevant reasons, and (b) there is sufficient current evidence for either A or B that causal means to A's death will not produce any more suffering than would be produced for A if B were not to intervene; (4) the causal means to the event of A's death are chosen by A or B to be as painless as possible, unless either A or B has an overriding reason for a more painful causal means, where the reason for choosing the latter causal means does not conflict with the evidence in 3b; (5) A is a nonfetal organism."
Wreen, in part responding to Beauchamp & Davidson, offered a six part definition:
"Person A committed an act of euthanasia if and only if (1) A killed B or let her die; (2) A intended to kill B; (3) the intention specified in (2) was at least partial cause of the action specified in (1); (4) the causal journey from the intention specified in (2) to the action specified in (1) is more or less in accordance with A's plan of action; (5) A's killing of B is a voluntary action; (6) the motive for the action specified in (1), the motive standing behind the intention specified in (2), is the good of the person killed."
Wreen also considered a seventh requirement: "(7) The good specified in (6) is, or at least includes, the avoidance of evil", although as Wreen noted in the paper, he was not convinced that the restriction was required.
In discussing his definition, Wreen noted the difficulty of justifying euthanasia when faced with the notion of the subject's "right to life". In response, Wreen argued that euthanasia has to be voluntary, and that "involuntary euthanasia is, as such, a great wrong". Other commentators incorporate consent more directly into their definitions. For example, in a discussion of euthanasia presented in 2003 by the European Association of Palliative Care (EPAC) Ethics Task Force, the authors offered: "Medicalized killing of a person without the person's consent, whether nonvoluntary (where the person in unable to consent) or involuntary (against the person's will) is not euthanasia: it is murder. Hence, euthanasia can be voluntary only." Although the EPAC Ethics Task Force argued that both non-voluntary and involuntary euthanasia could not be included in the definition of euthanasia, there is discussion in the literature about excluding one but not the other.
There is a debate within the medical and bioethics literature about whether or not the non-voluntary (and by extension, involuntary) killing of patients can be regarded as euthanasia, irrespective of intent or the patient's circumstances. In the definitions offered by Beauchamp & Davidson and, later, by Wreen, consent on the part of the patient was not considered to be one of their criteria, although it may have been required to justify euthanasia. However, others see consent as essential.
Euthanasia conducted with the consent of the patient is termed voluntary euthanasia. Active voluntary euthanasia is legal in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Passive voluntary euthanasia is legal throughout the U.S. per Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health. When the patient brings about his or her own death with the assistance of a physician, the term assisted suicide is often used instead. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland and the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington and Montana.
Euthanasia conducted where the consent of the patient is unavailable is termed non-voluntary euthanasia. Examples include child euthanasia, which is illegal worldwide but decriminalised under certain specific circumstances in the Netherlands under the Groningen Protocol.
Euthanasia conducted against the will of the patient is termed involuntary euthanasia.
Passive euthanasia entails the withholding of common treatments, such as antibiotics, necessary for the continuance of life.
Active euthanasia entails the use of lethal substances or forces, such as administering a lethal injection, to kill and is the most controversial means.
According to the historian N. D. A. Kemp, the origin of the contemporary debate on euthanasia started in 1870. Nevertheless, euthanasia was debated and practiced long before that date. Euthanasia was practised in Ancient Greece and Rome: for example, hemlock was employed as a means of hastening death on the island of Kea, a technique also employed in Marseilles and by Socrates in Athens. Euthanasia, in the sense of the deliberate hastening of a person's death, was supported by Socrates, Plato and Seneca the Elder in the ancient world, although Hippocrates appears to have spoken against the practice, writing "I will not prescribe a deadly drug to please someone, nor give advice that may cause his death" (noting there is some debate in the literature about whether or not this was intended to encompass euthanasia).
Euthanasia was strongly opposed in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Thomas Aquinas opposed both and argued that the practice of euthanasia contradicted our natural human instincts of survival., as did Francois Ranchin (1565–1641), a French physician and professor of medicine, and Michael Boudewijns (1601–1681), a physician and teacher.:208 Nevertheless, there were voices arguing for euthanasia, such as John Donne in 1624, and euthanasia continued to be practised. Thus in 1678, the publication of Caspar Questel's De pulvinari morientibus non subtrahend, ("On the pillow of which the dying should not be deprived"), initiated debate on the topic. Questel described various customs which were employed at the time to hasten the death of the dying, (including the sudden removal of a pillow, which was believed to accelerate death), and argued against their use, as doing so was "against the laws of God and Nature".:209–211 This view was shared by many who followed, including Philipp Jakob Spener, Veit Riedlin and Johann Georg Krünitz.:211 In spite of opposition, euthanasia continued to be practised, involving techniques such as bleeding, suffocation and removing people from their beds to be placed on the cold ground.:211–214
Suicide and euthanasia were more acceptable under Protestantism and during the Age of Enlightenment, and Thomas More wrote of euthanasia in Utopia, although it is not clear if More was intending to endorse the practise.:208–209 Other cultures have taken different approaches: for example, in Japan suicide has not traditionally been viewed as a sin, and accordingly the perceptions of euthanasia are different from those in other parts of the world.
In the mid-1800s, the use of morphine to treat "the pains of death" emerged, with John Warren recommending its use in 1848. A similar use of chloroform was revealed by Joseph Bullar in 1866. However, in neither case was it recommended that the use should be to hasten death. In 1870 Samuel Williams, a schoolteacher, initiated the contemporary euthanasia debate through a speech given at the Birmingham Speculative Club, which was subsequently published in a one-off publication entitled Essays of the Birmingham Speculative Club, the collected works of a number of members of an amateur philosophical society.:794 Williams' proposal was to use chloroform to deliberately hasten the death of terminally ill patients:
That in all cases of hopeless and painful illness, it should be the recognized duty of the medical attendant, whenever so desired by the patient, to administer choloroform or such other anaesthetic as may by-and-bye supersede chloroform – so as to destroy consciousness at once, and put the sufferer to a quick and painless death; all needful precautions being adopted to prevent any possible abuse of such duty; and means being taken to establish, beyond the possibility of doubt or question, that the remedy was applied at the express wish of the patient.—Samuel Williams (1872) , Euthanasia Williams and Northgate: London.:794
The essay was favourably reviewed in The Saturday Review, and an editorial speaking against the essay appeared in The Spectator. From there it proved to be influential, and other writers came out in support of such views: Lionel Tollemache wrote in favour of euthanasia, as did Annie Besant, the essayist and reformer who later became involved with the National Secular Society, considering it a duty to society to "die voluntarily and painlessly" when one reaches the point of becoming a 'burden'. Popular Science also analyzed the issue in May 1873, assessing both sides of the argument. Nevertheless, Kemp notes that at the time, medical doctors did not participate in the discussion; it was "essentially a philosophical enterprise... tied inextricably to a number of objections to the Christian doctrine of the sanctity of human life".
The rise of the euthanasia movement in the United States coincided with the so-called Gilded Age – a time of social and technological change that encompassed an "individualistic conservatism that praised laissez faire economics, scientific method, and rationalism", along with major depressions, industrialisation and conflict between corporations and labor unions.:794 It was also a time that saw the development of the modern hospital system, seen as a factor in the emergence of the euthanasia debate.
Robert Ingersoll argued for euthanasia, stating in 1894 that where someone is suffering from a terminal illness, such as terminal cancer, they should have a right to end their pain through suicide. Felix Adler offered a similar approach, although, unlike Ingersoll, Adler did not reject religion, instead arguing from an Ethical Culture framework. In 1891, Alder argued that those suffering from overwhelming pain should have the right to commit suicide, and, furthermore, that it should be permissible for a doctor to assist – thus making Adler the first "prominent American" to argue for suicide in cases where people were suffering from chronic illness. Both Ingersoll and Adler argued for voluntary euthanasia of adults suffering from terminal ailments. However, Dowbiggin argues that by breaking down prior moral objections to euthanasia and suicide, Ingersoll and Adler made it possible for others to stretch the definition of euthanasia.
America also saw the first attempt to legalise euthanasia, when Henry Hunt introduced legislation into the General Assembly of Ohio in 1906.:614 Hunt did so at the behest of Anna Hall, a wealthy heiress who was a major figure in the euthanasia movement during the early 20th century in the United States. Hall had watched her mother die after an extended battle with liver cancer, and had dedicated herself to ensuring that others would not have to endure the same suffering. Towards this end she engaged in an extensive letter writing campaign, recruited Lurana Sheldon and Maud Ballington Booth, and organised a debate on euthanasia at the annual meeting of the American Humane Association in 1905 – described by Jacob Appel as the first significant public debate on the topic in the 20th century.:614–616 Hunt's bill called for the administration of an anesthetic to bring about a patient's death, so long as the person is of lawful age and sound mind, and was suffering from a fatal injury, an irrecoverable illness or great physical pain. It also required that the case be heard by a physician, required informed consent in front of three witnesses, and then required the attendance of three physicians who had to agree that the patient's recovery was impossible. A motion to reject the bill outright was voted down, but the bill itself failed to pass, 79 to 23.:796:618–619
Along with the Ohio euthanasia proposal, 1906 also witnessed the creation of a second bill: Assemblyman Ross Gregory introduced a proposal to permit euthanasia to the Iowa legislature. However, the Iowa legislation was far broader in scope than that offered in Ohio. It allowed for the death of any person of at least ten years of age who suffered from an ailment that would prove fatal and cause extreme pain, should they be of sound mind and express a desire to artificially hasten their death. In addition, it allowed for infants to be euthanised if they were sufficiently deformed, and permitted guardians to request euthanasia on behalf of their wards. The proposed legislation also imposed penalties on physicians who refused to perform euthanasia when requested: a 6–12 month prison term and a fine of between $200 and $1000 dollars. Unsurprisingly, the proposal proved to be controversial.:619–621 It engendered considerable debate but failed to pass, having been withdrawn from consideration after being passed to the Committee on Public Health.:623
After 1906 the euthanasia debate reduced in intensity, resurfacing periodically but not returning to the same level of debate until the 1930s in the United Kingdom.:796
In January 1936, King George V was given a fatal dose of morphine and cocaine in order to hasten his death. At the time he was suffering from cardiorespiratory failure, and the decision to end his life was made by his physician, Lord Dawson. Although this remained a secret for over 50 years, the death of George V coincided with proposed legislation in the House of Lords to legalise euthanasia. The legislation came through the British Volunteer Euthanasia Legalisation Society (now known as Dignity in Dying), which was formed in 1935, although its formation can be traced back to a 1931 speech by Dr Charles Killick Millard.
Euthanasia opponent Ian Dowbiggin argues that the early membership of the Euthanasia Society of America (ESA) reflected how many perceived euthanasia at the time, often seeing it as a eugenics matter rather than an issue concerning individual rights. Dowbiggin argues that not every eugenist joined the ESA "solely for eugenic reasons", but he postulates that there were clear ideological connections between the eugenics and euthanasia movements.
A 24 July 1939 killing of a severely disabled infant in Nazi Germany was described in a BBC "Genocide Under the Nazis Timeline" as the first "state-sponsored euthanasia". Parties that consented to the killing included Hitler's office, the parents, and the Reich Committee for the Scientific Registration of Serious and Congenitally Based Illnesses. The Telegraph noted that the killing of the disabled infant—whose name was Gerhard Kretschmar, born blind, with missing limbs, subject to convulsions, and reportedly "an idiot"— provided "the rationale for a secret Nazi decree that led to 'mercy killings' of almost 300,000 mentally and physically handicapped people". While Kretchmar's killing received parental consent, afterwards, most of the 5,000 to 8,000 killed children were forcibly taken from their parents.

The "euthanasia campaign" of mass murder gathered momentum on 14 January 1940 when the "handicapped" were killed with gas vans and killing centres, eventually leading to the deaths of 70,000 adult Germans. Professor Robert Jay Lifton, author of The Nazi Doctors and a leading authority on the T4 program, contrasts this program with what he considers to be a genuine euthanasia. He explains that the Nazi version of "euthanasia" was based on the work of Adolf Jost, who published The Right to Death (Das Recht auf den Tod) in 1895. Lifton writes: "Jost argued that control over the death of the individual must ultimately belong to the social organism, the state. This concept is in direct opposition to the Anglo-American concept of euthanasia, which emphasizes the individual's 'right to die' or 'right to death' or 'right to his or her own death,' as the ultimate human claim. In contrast, Jost was pointing to the state's right to kill. [...] Ultimately the argument was biological: 'The rights to death [are] the key to the fitness of life.' The state must own death—must kill—in order to keep the social organism alive and healthy."
In modern terms, the use of "euthanasia" in the context of Action T4 is seen to be a euphemism to disguise a program of genocide, in which people were killed on the grounds "disabilities, religious beliefs, and discordant individual values". Compared to the discussions of euthanasia that emerged post-war, the Nazi program may have been worded in terms that appear similar to the modern use of the euthanasia, but there was no "mercy" and the patients were not necessarily terminally ill. Despite these differences, historian and euthanasia opponent Ian Dowbiggin writes that "the origins of Nazi euthanasia, like those of the American euthanasia movement, predate the Third Reich and were intertwined with the history of eugenics and social Darwinism, and with efforts to discredit traditional morality and ethics.":65
Historically, the euthanasia debate has tended to focus on a number of key concerns. According to euthanasia opponent Ezekiel Emanuel, proponents of euthanasia have presented four main arguments: a) that people have a right to self-determination, and thus should be allowed to choose their own fate; b) assisting a subject to die might be a better choice than requiring that they continue to suffer; c) the distinction between passive euthanasia, which is often permitted, and active euthanasia, which is not, is not substantive (or that the underlying principle–the doctrine of double effect–is unreasonable or unsound); and d) permitting euthanasia will not necessarily lead to unacceptable consequences. Pro-euthanasia activists often point to countries like the Netherlands and Belgium, and states like Oregon, where it has been made legal to argue that it is mostly unproblematic.
Similarly, Emanuel argues that there are four major arguments presented by opponents of euthanasia: a) not all deaths are painful; b) alternatives, such as cessation of active treatment, combined with the use of effective pain relief, are available; c) the distinction between active and passive euthanasia is morally significant; and d) legalising euthanasia will place society on a slippery slope, which will lead to unacceptable consequences.:797–8

West's Encyclopedia of American Law states that "a 'mercy killing' or euthanasia is generally considered to be a criminal homicide" and is normally used as a synonym of homicide committed at a request made by the patient.
The judicial sense of the term "homicide" includes any intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, even to relieve intractable suffering. Not all homicide is unlawful. Two designations of homicide that carry no criminal punishment are justifiable and excusable homicide. In most countries this is not the status of euthanasia. The term "euthanasia" is usually confined to the active variety; the University of Washington website states that "euthanasia generally means that the physician would act directly, for instance by giving a lethal injection, to end the patient's life". Physician-assisted suicide is thus not classified as euthanasia by the US State of Oregon, where it is legal under the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, and despite its name, it is not legally classified as suicide either. Unlike physician-assisted suicide, withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatments with patient consent (voluntary) is almost unanimously considered, at least in the United States, to be legal. The use of pain medication in order to relieve suffering, even if it hastens death, has been held as legal in several court decisions.
Some governments around the world have legalized voluntary euthanasia but generally it remains as a criminal homicide. In the Netherlands and Belgium, where euthanasia has been legalized, it still remains homicide although it is not prosecuted and not punishable if the perpetrator (the doctor) meets certain legal exceptions.
A survey in the United States of more than 10,000 physicians came to the result that approximately 16% of physicians would ever consider halting life-sustaining therapy because the family demands it, even if believed that it was premature. Approximately 55% would not, and for the remaining 29%, it would depend on circumstances.
This study also stated that approximately 46% of physicians agree that physician-assisted suicide should be allowed in some cases; 41% do not, and the remaining 14% think it depends.
In the United Kingdom, the pro-assisted dying group Dignity in Dying cite conflicting research on attitudes by doctors to assisted dying: with a 2009 Palliative Medicine-published survey showing 64% support (to 34% oppose) for assisted dying in cases where a patient has an incurable and painful disease, while 49% of doctors in a study published in BMC Medical Ethics oppose changing the law on assisted dying to 39% in favour.

There is a new movement against buildings in the Portuguese capital. “Lisbon Precis” was created by Carlos Marques, former Vice-President of the Lisbon Municipal Assembly, and Fernando Nunes da Silva, former Councilor for Mobility of the Lisbon Chamber.
With the construction of several real estate projects, the movement says that the Portuguese capital is in danger of “killing the golden egg hen of tourism”
In an interview with Lusa, Carlos Marques stated that the creation of the movement was arrested because “there is much wrong in the city of Lisbon and the path that is following the city of Lisbon”, and this path can lead to the decharacterization of the capital.
For now, the only goal is to alert citizens to what the city needs. “Today, Lisbon is being ruled by the great global economic interests”, which are investing millions of euros in the city “to build towers, transform the city into a non-characteristic city other than the old city, and with it, risk killing the tourist's golden-egg hen, ”he assumed.
The Lisbon Precise should organize thematic debates on the most varied topics, which should include the environment, airport, urbanism, transport and mobility, after the legislative elections. In addition to Carlos Marques and Fernando Nunes da Silva, Pedro Soares and Jorge Falcato of the Left Block, the politologist André Freire, Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, geographer Jorge Malheiros. and the historian Raquel Varela are other subscribers of this movement.
The movement criticizes several projects, such as the construction of the Picoas Tower, the project designed for the Portugália block on Avenida Almirante Reis, the construction of “imposing buildings” in Praça de Espanha and the licensing of the project for Entrecampos.
In addition, “we are against the violent expulsion of Lisboners from their homes to put Lisbon on top of local accommodation, making Lisbon an increasingly rich city for tourists,” the group adds on its Facebook page. "We are against the forgiveness of two million euros from IMT and IMI to a speculative fund just for refurbishing a building on Avenida da Liberdade."
“We are against the existence of a private company, but with 100% capital of the Lisbon City Council, which acts as a City Council within the City Council, but with full urbanistic powers without control of the City Council plenary and the sovereign control body. the Municipal Assembly of Lisbon ”, they add.


Cisco Systems did more than launch two new servers earlier this week. It also rejiggered some of the networking gear used in conjunction with its Unified Computing System wares and talked a bit about its customers.
As El Reg previously reported and has been goading Cisco about since last year, the company finally put some four-socket x64 iron out to better compete against the established suppliers. The new B440-M1 blade and C460-M1 rack servers are, of course, based on Intel's "Nehalem-EX" Xeon 7500 processors, which were announced themselves last week.
These new four-socket boxes offer four times the compute capacity in the same footprint as the existing two-socket B-Series blades and C-Series racks based on the Xeon 5500 processors that launched with the original "California" UCS blades in March 2009.
To balance out the extra compute capacity, Cisco had to jack up the bandwidth on the UCS machines. And so Cisco has quadrupled the bandwidth of its Fabric Extender architecture, know as FEXLink, allowing for up to 160 Gb/sec of data to be pumped into and out of the B-Series blades plugged into the chassis. That bandwidth is delivered from the UCS 6100 Fabric Interconnect (essentially a modified Nexus 5000 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch with server and networking management software) to the UCS 2100 Fabric Extenders. Each UCS 5100 chassis has two UCS 2100 fabric extenders, which virtualizes the links between the server blades and their network and storage (the latter using the Fibre Channel over Ethernet, or FCoE, protocol).
With the announcements this week, Cisco is also taking the FEXlink architecture to its Nexus 5000 top-of-rack switches. The company announced a second generation of Nexus 2000 fabric extenders, which hang off the Nexus 5000 parent switches, which typically are at the end of the row of machines with the extenders being at the top of racks. Just as in the UCS blades, the combination of the Nexus 5000 switches and the Nexus 2000 fabric extenders allows for all of the network ports to be controlled from a single domain.
The original Nexus 2148 fabric extenders, which according to Paul Durzan, director of product management for the Server Access and Virtualization Group have accounted for over 1 million ports sold since they were announced last year, ran at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. But the Nexus 2248 extenders announced this week allow for 100 Mbit as well as Gigabit ports (up to 576 ports, to be specific), and the Nexus 2232 extenders pull 10 Gigabit Ethernet links - a total of 384 ports - from the Nexus 5000 switches out to non-UCS servers.
Pricing for the new Nexus extenders starts at $9,000 and they will be available during the second quarter. (The goal is to get the price down to $300 per 10GE port). Cisco plans to offer fabric extenders that can hang off the Nexus 7000 core switches, which also support converged network protocols.
The Nexus 5000s now also support what Cisco calls hitless software upgrades, which means the underlying IOS operating system and switching software inside the box can be updated without having to take the switch down.
As Cisco has been hinting, the company is not abandoning Fibre Channel storage switches just because it is hot to trot with FCoE on the Nexus and UCS switches. To that end, Cisco announced the MDS 9148 multilayer fabric switch, which has 48 8 Gb/sec FC ports, will be available in the second quarter to goose links to storage area networks. Cisco has also added 8 Gb/sec FC uplinks to the Nexus 5000 and UCS 6100 switches. The MDS 9500 already supported 8 Gb/sec FC links.
Obviously in response to some customer demands to get their hands on the virtual networking embedded in the UCS system without having to move to the blade boxes, Cisco also took the virtualized Nexus 1000V virtual switch and plunked it onto one of its 1U C200-M1 rack servers and called it the Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance. The appliance also has network analysis software sprinkled on it to make it different. The Nexus 1010 appliance has 32 licenses of the Nexus 1000V software (each running in an ESX Server partition), which are valued at $21.375. The appliance costs $24,995 and will be available this month.
Durzan confirmed that Cisco now has over 400 customers who have ordered UCS systems, and when Cisco says UCS, it means the literal California B-Series blade boxes and the C-Series racks. The reason is that sometime in the second half of 2010, the C-Series racks will be allowed to plug into the UCS Manager software running on the UCS 6100 switch.
Cisco is not talking more about exactly what these customers have bought or whether this number is better or worse that expected, but John Chambers, Cisco's chairman and chief executive officer, is expected to say more on the subject soon, according to Durzan. So far, some 15,000 applications and most of the key operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Oracle Solaris, Novell SUSE Linux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and obviously VMware's ESX Server hypervisor have been validated on the B-Series and C-Series machines. That's not a bad ramp for a product that started shipping in July 2009.
Then again, Sun had a pretty good ramp with its x64 servers a few years back and then it flatlined.
A few more things relating to the UCS Manager embedded in the UCS 6100 switch. Just like the Nexus 5000s use fabric extenders to expand the network but leave it all under the same control domain, the UCS 6100 does the same thing but the UCS Manager software adds server configuration specs to a service profile. This service profile defines everything relevant about the blade, turning it into a stateless piece of hardware as far as the UCS setup is concerned.
If you want to move a workload, you just move its service profile and the new blade looks just like the old one as far as the network is concerned. (The Nexus 1000V handles the virtual switching so the VMs don't get lost.) With this week's tweak of the UCS Manager software, the service profile now includes policies governing power and cooling metrics for the UCS blades in addition to MAC addresses, worldwide names for storage, and policies for storage access.
Cisco says that UCS Manager, thanks to its open APIs, is now integrated with all the major provisioning tools in use today in the data center, including tools from BMC Software, CA, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Symantec, and VMware. Cisco's Developer Network has cooked up an API software development kit so programmers can use UCS iron to validate their tools
When Cisco updated the B-Series blades and C-Series racks with the M2 models (meaning it popped out the Xeon 5500 processors and plunked in the new Xeon 5600s) back in March, it did not release pricing for the machines. Here are the prices, all for minimum configurations: the B200 M2, $3,103; the B250 M2, $8,258; the C200 M2, $1,720; the C210 M2, $2,170; and the C250 M2, $11,114. ®


Brennan Linsley, Associated Press
NUUK, Greenland — Two American explorers, one white, one black, made a historic assault on the North Pole a century ago and then headed home, leaving behind a legacy of daring and discovery, and of two little boys in sealskins — their half-Inuit sons.
Today it's the descendants of those 3-year-olds who are exploring the world.
"He said, 'I'll find the way or I'll make a way.' That's what I'm doing, too," Robert E. Peary II, 55, a well-traveled Inuit lecturer-performer, says of his famous great-grandfather, Rear Adm. Robert E. Peary.
Those bearing Matthew A. Henson's name — Peary's chief aide — are venturing beyond their remote Greenland birthplaces as well.
"I have that feeling, I want to be traveling always," says Avo Henson Sikemsen, 27, who recalls dogsled trips from her Arctic village as a girl, but who has since seen the world, from Cairo to New York. One cousin is even off to Harvard.
Over four generations, the two family lines, rooted in the planet's northernmost communities, have multiplied, spread out, even intermarried, and are now plugging in to a globalizing world. But for decades their existence was unknown beyond the frozen fjords and towering icebergs of Greenland's far northwest.
It was there, in the Thule region, that Peary's party set up base in the 1890s to begin a series of Arctic expeditions that ended with the epic 1909 trek, after which the U.S. Navy officer was acclaimed as discoverer of the North Pole.
During those years 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) above the Arctic Circle, Peary relied heavily on Inuit — or Eskimo — hunter guides. But that wasn't the only companionship he and Henson found.
Peary, a Pennsylvanian in his 40s with an American wife and daughter at home, had a relationship with a much younger Inuit woman, Aleqasina, who bore him two sons, one of whom died young. The Maryland sharecropper's son Henson, also married but without children, had an Inuit mistress as well, Akatingwah. Their son, Anaukaq, was born in 1906, as was Peary's surviving son, Kaala.
After the Americans left in September 1909, never to return or communicate with the Greenlanders, their Inuit families fell into destitution. Many years later, Kaala, who died in 1998, recalled wearing dogskin clothes as a boy, a badge of poverty.
But the youths learned from stepfathers the traditional skills of hunting seal, narwhal, polar bear — the essence of life in the harsh Arctic. With dogsled and kayak, Kaala Peary and Anaukaq Henson grew into formidable hunters and, by the 1930s, supporters of their own families. Kaala had five children — three daughters and two sons. Anaukaq had five sons who survived.
Admiral Peary's forgotten son first came to outsiders' attention through French explorer Jean Malaurie, who spent a year with the Polar Eskimo tribe in 1950-51 and later wrote of Kaala, who was almost killed by an enraged walrus while hunting.
Anaukaq Henson, who died in 1987, remained little known until Harvard University's S. Allen Counter journeyed to Greenland's far north in 1986 to confirm rumors of "black Eskimos." The neuroscientist was campaigning for proper historical recognition for Matt Henson, whose accomplishments had been obscured because of American racial attitudes in generations past.
Counter succeeded in having the black explorer's remains reinterred at Arlington National Cemetery near Admiral Peary's grave, and he sponsored a U.S. visit by Anaukaq, Kaala and grandchildren in 1987, when the Greenlanders met for the first time with Peary's American descendants and with Henson's more distant relatives.
"I'd like to go to America again, to see those tall buildings," Anaukaq's son Vittus, a solidly built 64, said in a recent interview in Nuuk, capital of this self-ruling Danish island.

Travellers who dive into the heavenly blue waters of Bahrain can return home with more than memories of their time on the islands.
Adventurous visitors can now participate in diving missions to find pearls and bring treasures they are lucky to find underwater.
Pearl diving Bahrain has been closed to tourists for 80 years but is being submitted again as part of a major drive to bring tourists to the Arabian Gulf.
Bahrain has been recognized as the world’s pearl capital and will become one of the few places where visitors can dive for precious gems.
What is pearl diving?
Pearl hunting is a pearl recovery activity of wild mollusks, usually oysters or mussels, in the sea or freshwater. Pearl hunting was widespread in the Persian Gulf and Japan, but also it occurred in other regions.
In most cases, pearl-bearing mollusks live in depths that can not be accessed manually from the surface, and there is a need to dive or use some forms of tools to reach them.
How deep do pearl divers go?
In Asia, some pearl oysters can be found in shallow water at a depth of 5-7 feet from the surface, but divers often had to go 40 feet about 12 meters or even 125 feet deep to find enough pearl oysters.
These deep dives were extremely dangerous to divers.
How much is a real pearl worth?
Pearl value can vary greatly depending on many factors, such as its type, size, colour, surface quality, and much more.
The wild pearl will be worth more than cultured pearls. However, on average, the pearl value ranges between $ 300 and $ 1500.
Tools of Pearl Diving
Definitely, you will need some essential equipment when you decide to go pearl diving. Although pearl hunting is a kind of diving into water (scuba diving), more equipment will be needed for pearling.
Divers will need stone and iron weights, nose clips, oyster knives, leather finger protectors, oyster baskets, and cotton diving suits.
Pearl Diving in Bahrain
Visitors to the Bahrain Kingdom are invited to the deep waters of the Gulf for diving and searching for natural pearls, where the history of the pearl hunting industry is restored to this day.
By selecting a group of four diving sites, each containing an abundance of oysters, divers can collect up to 60 oysters from the seafloor in the Gulf.
And if they are lucky enough, they can preserve the finest treasures of the island forever.
Best Pearl diving sites in Bahrain
Bahrain Pearling Track became the second Bahraini place to be included in UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012 after Bahrain Fort.
In recognition of the importance of the Bahraini pearl heritage worldwide, it focuses on three local oysters and more than ten locations on the ground in Muharraq.
Ras Rayyah, the northern tip of Muharraq is the starting point for all diving activities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Visitors with a licensed permit can dive for two hours, and collect up to 60 oysters in one session.
This license allows visitors to access diving sites such as Sayah, Amamah, Shataya, and Balata, located off the coast of Muharraq, north of Bahrain Island.
The pass allows for government control of the ocean, ensuring the surveillance of diving trips and the number of oysters collected for sustainability.
For beginner divers, Sayah, the site closest to the beach, is the most convenient, and visitors who do not have a full PADI license are welcome to dive into the shallow water.
Bu Amama, Shtayaah, and Bulthama are deepwater sites located about 35 miles from the coast of Muharraq Island. Here, visitors must obtain a full PADI license and be fully equipped with scuba diving equipment.
Whatever the preferences, whether they are beginners or advanced, there is a unique experience available to all through the official diving companies, Delma Marine and Scuba Life.
It is worth mentioning that Scuba Life Bahrain runs separate PADI courses for those looking for a qualification to the Bahrain Kingdom.
Museum of Pearl Diving
Besides going to pearl hunting, you can also enjoy visiting the Bahrain Pearl Diving Museum. Located in the Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs, as it is an important historical building in itself.
The museum lists the history of pearl diving in Bahrain with different tools. As well as other artifacts from the history of maritime navigation in Bahrain.

Title: Evaluation of Time and Temperature Dependent Deformation of FRP Bonded to Concrete
Author(s): Yoseok Jeong, Anurag Jaipuriar, Maria M. Lopez, and Charles E. Bakis
Publication: Special Publication
Appears on pages(s): 1-18
Keywords: FRP; Externally Bonded; Stress Distribution; Creep; Debonding.
Abstract:Most of the recent research on the bond characteristics of the concrete-FRP interface involves short-term behavior which may not be indicative of bond behavior following sustained forces on the adhesive joint, particularly in the case of ambient-curing adhesives which can take weeks to reach their full strength capability. The objective of the research effort is to investigate the effects of sustained loads and various temperatures on the bond behavior of FRP sheets bonded to concrete. The approach involves experiments and numerical analysis. The model was parameterized with experiments on the concrete, FRP, interface, and epoxy. Good correlation was seen between the numerical simulations and pull-off experiments. Parametric studies shed light on the influence of temperature, epoxy modulus, and epoxy thickness on the redistribution of interfacial shear stress during sustained loading. This investigation confirms the hypothesis that interfacial stress redistribution can occur due to sustained load and elevated temperature and its effect can be significant.

Gorgeous blonde with hazel eyes Alexis Adams was born in a small town from Florida, USA where she was raised and studied to become a nurse at the Pasco Hernando Community College in Richey while working as a waitress in a local restaurant.
The bombshell’s first steps towards the adult industry where made at the age of 15 when she lost her virginity and started acting promiscuous, wanting to explore more her dirty nature. However, she waited a long time until she entered the X-rated world by beginning modeling in 2012 for the famous magazine Playboy (she was the Playboy Coed of the Week for January 19, 2012) and working for Model Mayhem for about a year. Since then, she has also posed for Stare and Hustler magazines until she felt that she could do more and outrun her fellow porn stars who worked in the film industry.
From the point the beautiful babe managed to overcome her shyness, her career took off and she started acting in solo scenes where she teased herself with steamy moves and in hot sessions filled with hot fucking. She stated that her favourite performance until now was the one in the movie “Not the Wizard of Oz XXX” due to the fact that the original movie is one of her favourites.

In five years’ time, every state in the union has encountered at least one flood or one flash flood.
Your city map may not show it but every person, no matter where you live, resides in a potential flood zone.
Coverage for flood damage is not automatically included in a homeowner’s policy. Be sure to check yours.
Is your home in a Special Flood Hazard Area or an area with higher risk probability? If you have an FHA mortgage and you live in such an area, you are required to have a flood policy.
It doesn’t take a catastrophic flood to create disaster. Less than six inches of water can cost many thousands of dollars in destruction.
In the event of flash flooding, water surges can reach ten feet and higher.
It only takes two feet of fast moving water on a roadway to overwhelm a car.
Just because it’s not raining hard during a weather event doesn’t mean flood or flash flood won’t happen. A hurricane, blizzards and heavy melt-off of snow are too frequently ignored as a flood cause.
Be mindful of newly developing land sites. As these are built, the natural pathways for runoff can be compromised
Think U.S. government financial assistance is cheaper than flood insurance? Think again! A thirty-year federal loan of $50,000.00 taken out at an interest rate of four percent breaks down to a monthly payment of $240.00. That’s $2,880.00 every year! Contrast that against a $100,000.00 flood policy at $400.00 annually. That breaks down to monthly payments of $33.00.
Affordably priced Preferred Risk flood policies that cover a building plus the contents can be taken out for a property where the flood risk is low or moderate.
Is your town, city or neighborhood in an NFIP partnership? You qualify for flood insurance! Find out if you live in a National Flood Insurance Program community by checking FEMA’s Community Status Book .
Thirty days is how long it usually takes for insurance to take effect once you buy it. Don’t wait until the weather event is imminent or the waters begin rising around you before thinking about flood insurance.
A property in a high risk region has a higher chance of flood damage than being taken in a fire.
No one is 100% safe from flood disasters. Twenty percent of NFIP flood policy claims are filed by property owners who don’t live in high risk flooding regions. A full third of Federal Disaster Assistance go to property owners who have flood damage outside the high risk regions.
$3.5 billion went out annually between 2005 and 2014 for flood coverage claims.
Premium reduction discounts of as much as forty-five percent are available to qualified property owners in higher risk regions when communities participate in the Community Rating System (CRS). Even a moderate to low risk are can receive as much as a ten percent discount in the CRS program.
Between 1978 and 2015, the NFIP satisfied flood claims and their associated expenditures to the tune of almost $50 billion.
Higher awareness has resulted in over 5.3 million policies being taken out in over twenty-two communities across the United States.
Two flood insurance terms to know: Replacement Cost Value (RCV) and Actual Cash Value (ACV). RCV refers to replacement costs for flood damage to single family, primary homes. ACV isn’t the same as RCV. ACV is calculated by the subtraction of depreciation from replacement costs.

Sri Lankan Mallum (or Mallung) is a dish typically made with stir-fried greens (or cabbage) and grated coconut.
While traveling for 10 weeks in Sri Lanka, I was served and learned how to cook half a dozen varieties of Mallum. Many involved local leafy greens that were kind of a cross between kale and spinach, and often sort of like collard greens. When I got back to Germany, I experimented with recreating the leafy greens mallum, and found that arugula worked quite well. It’s especially great for using up arugula in the fridge that’s no longer fresh enough for a salad or is too bitter to be eaten raw. Kind of like cooking with spinach, when cooked, the arugula will get a lot smaller and you’ll end up with less that you expected!
This is the recipe that I used for my third travel-inspired vegan cookbook, The Lotus and the Artichoke – SRI LANKA. I called it Rocket Greens Curry. Curry perhaps isn’t really the best word. Mallums are mallums, just like chutneys are chutneys, even if we might want to call it a sauce.
You can serve this dish as one of many with a Sri Lankan meal, or as a starter – kind of a warm salad.
I make it when I have lots of greens to use up, or if I’m serving dal curry, beetroot curry, and Jackfruit Curry, and rice. The four curries together are four different colors, which provides a stunning visual element to the meal. If I’m ambitious and make more dishes to go with the meal, I go for Deviled Chickpeas or Soymeats Curry. The play of different colors, shapes, textures, and unique flavors always impresses dinner guests. Continue reading →
Here’s a quick and healthy vegan recipe for one of my favorite salads. It’s great for lunch on its own, or as an appetizer before a soup or lighter meal. Instead of quinoa, you can use other grains like couscous or bulgar, or use the dressing, avocado and tomato on fresh greens, like spinach or arugula.
This is a fun salad that I came up with sometime last year. The inspiration comes from salads I’ve had at restaurants and homes across Europe, especially in Germany and France. I’d seen endives (chicory) prior to moving to Europe over ten years ago, but they seem to be much more popular and celebrated on this side of the Atlantic. That said, I have had some great endive salads in Montreal, too.
Why are so many vegetarian cookbook authors bashful or apologetic about salads? Not me! I’m proud of my salads: I love serving them to others, and I enjoy eating them myself. Done right, salads are interesting, delicious, and nutritious. What’s to be afraid of?
This is an all-raw variation on one of my favorite, traditional Indian snacks — roasted chickpeas. Actually, my earliest memory of roasted chickpeas is having them served as part of breakfast at the Hare Krishna temple in Philly in the early 90s.
Years later, when I really got into raw foods, I was sprouting just about everything I could find. I’ve experimented a lot with sprouted chickpea houmous and I love chickpea sprouts in salads. That said, they’re not for everyone. Try it and see if you like the fresh, raw, nuttier flavor. On their own they taste a bit weird, but the ginger and lemon and pinch of spices brings out a nice, zippy flavor to go with the crunch. Earth-crunchy, that is.

Jon Erlichman posted how Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in his garage, suggesting that he was a self-made billionaire
However, Aidan Smith pointed out that Bezos’ parents invested more than 245k dollars into Amazon to help him out
Aidan then went on to explain how other famous billionaires had a lot of help because they had wealthy and powerful family members. Here’s what he said about Bill Gates
This is what Aidan said about Warren Buffett
Mark Zuckerberg might not be who he is today without the expensive tuition he received
Aidan then talked about the Waltons and the Kochs
Not to mention how Kylie Jenner is far from the self-made billionaire some claim her to be
The moral of the story is that people shouldn’t beat themselves up for being poor because a lot of very successful people had financial help and support
Aidan told us that he has a decent-sized following and is used to his posts going moderately viral. “But I’m pleasantly surprised by how much of an impact this tweet in particular had.”
According to him, believing that certain famous billionaires are self-made when they might not be is harmful for a variety of reasons. “For one, even in the rare cases in which people from working-class backgrounds amass exorbitant wealth, it’s still not ‘self-made’ given that amassing wealth on that scale will always have come from ruthless exploitation of others.”
While Bezos may have started Amazon in his parents’ garage when he was 30, people tend to focus on this part, not the fact that his parents invested 245,573 dollars in Amazon in 1995, nor that Bezos worked in Wall Street before committing to Amazon.
Bloomberg found that if Bezos’ parents kept all of their holdings in the company, their shares would have been worth around 30 billion dollars in 2018.
As of now, it’s unclear how much of the stock Jackie and Mike Bezos still own. They could secretly be among the world’s wealthiest 30 people (possibly even ahead of Elon Musk at the time).
Bezos and others might be successful, talented, dedicated, and not afraid to take risks (nobody is trying to diminish their accomplishments or effort) but they’re not entirely self-made.
Aidan’s thread definitely got the internet’s attention: it got more than 489k likes, nearly 150k retweets, and started a discussion.
Some people were surprised to learn some of the things that Aidan shared on Twitter. Others fully agreed with his message. Meanwhile, some Twitter users questioned why people are getting upset at people becoming successful, even if they did use their parents’ money. To which some internet users responded that fake underdog stories lead to poor people being told it’s their own fault for not becoming rich.
People had different opinions after reading Aidan’s posts. Some thought that success is success no matter what while others agreed with Aidan’s ideas

Beijing may soon announce an air defense identification zone in the South China Sea, the South China Morning Post reports:
China is preparing an air defence identification zone (ADIZ) in the South China Sea, two years after it announced a similar one in the East China Sea, according to sources close to the People’s Liberation Army and a defence report.
But one source said the timing of any declaration would depend on security conditions in the region, particularly the United States’ military presence and diplomatic ties with neighbouring countries.
“If the US military keeps making provocative moves to challenge China’s sovereignty in the region, it will give Beijing a good opportunity to declare an ADIZ in the South China Sea,” the source said. […]
In a written response to the South China Morning Post on the zone, the defence ministry said it was “the right of a sovereign state” to designate an ADIZ. “Regarding when to declare such a zone, it will depend on whether China is facing security threats from the air, and what the level of the air safety threat is,” the statement said.
Even assuming this report is accurate (Beijing has not confirmed or denied anything), the exact details of where the lines would be drawn and what regulations will be enforced within those lines remain unclear. Whether any boundary that is set will be static is also up in the air—Beijing has been known to extend the boundaries of its ADIZ in the East China Sea.
What is certain is that China’s move would heighten tensions. Many analysts are looking to the East China Sea ADIZ as a precedent, but given how much more developed China’s infrastructure is in the South China Sea, Beijing is probably better positioned to enforce its claims in this case. Meanwhile, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia are set to announce their own ADIZs with U.S. backing, which only makes everything more complicated.
Having finished his tenth Asia tour this past week and yet still mid-pivot, President Obama has hesitated to get too confrontational with Beijing. The President’s position has opened a rift with the Pentagon over the intensity of U.S. military patrols in the region. As a result, it’s not clear how the U.S. might respond to the announcement of an ADIZ. Many eyes will be on American officials heading into the Shangri-La Dialogue with China later this week.

Since this is the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, a rocket analogy is appropriate to illustrate the importance of a new-vehicle launch to automakers. The flubbed launch of a new car is about as easy to correct as a flubbed rocket launch. One can no more relaunch an automotive vehicle than a space vehicle once it has left the pad.
In the launch of its own new product, J.D. Power & Company says the company that did it best last year was Hyundai, with its first luxury vehicle, the Genesis. Other winners were Ford, Volkswagen and Nissan.
The firm's inaugural Vehicle Launch Index, which quantified how well new and redesigned vehicles do in the first eight months post-launch (whether they make orbit or, metaphorically, splash and sink into the Atlantic) looks at things like vehicle revenue, dealer gross profit, incentives, residual value and the credit quality of buyers to rank automakers.
It also looks at vehicle quality and design, based on the Initial Quality Study. To be considered, brands have to have sold at least 5,000 units in the first eight months and be either all-new or major redesigns.
Among the 27 vehicles rated in the study, the Ford F-150 pickup truck came in second and Volkswagen's Tiguan SUV came in third.
Among the 12 models that did better than industry average, Nissan, Honda, Ford and Volkswagen each had two; Dodge, Subaru, Mazda and Hyundai had one each.
Following Tiguan were Nissan Maxima, Subaru Forester, Honda Pilot, Ford Flex, Honda Fit, Dodge Challenger, VW Passat CC, Nissan Murano and Mazda 6.
The vehicle deemed worst launch was Toyota's Matrix.
The firm says that in addition to obvious factors like attractive design, good performance, ease of operation and function, a successful vehicle launch must also involve the right volume and pricing, and product mix.
The Westlake Village, Calif.-based firm says automakers will spend some $50 billion to conduct 205 vehicle launches in the U.S. in the next three years. Among those, 80 will be completely new entries, 52 will be "all new" versions of current models and 73 will be major redesigns.

VADODARA/NEW DELHI: Legendary artist K G Subramanyan
, credited with being one of the pioneers of Indian modern art, passed away in Vadodara on Wednesday at the age of 92.
"The Kerala-born artist, who had been recovering from a hip surgery conducted over four weeks ago, suddenly took ill and passed away around 3 AM. It is a huge loss for us," Naveen Kishore, publisher Seagull books, told PTI over phone.
Kishore has published over 40 books of the late artist, fondly referred to as 'Mani Da' and the Seagull Foundation For The Arts has been organising exhibition of the master's works in cities across the country.
"He lived a full life and was famous for saying that for him each day is a day of celebration. He had a wonderful support system and we will miss him," Kishore said.
In a career spanning over six decades, the multifaceted artist, who lived and worked in Baroda, had been a painter, sculptor, muralist and print maker besides an author of children's books. He was awarded Padma Vibhushan
in 2012, Padma Bhushan in 2006 and Padma Shri
He was renowned for his outdoor murals, terracottas, and toys and also experimented with weaving. In the 1970s, he began experimenting with reverse painting, an 18th century craft tradition where the artist paints on a sheet of glass and reverses the glass to view the final image.
Subramanyam is survived by his only daughter Uma and son-in-law. His wife Sushila predeceased him a decade ago.
Subramanyan studied under the tutelage of Benode Behari Mukherjee, Nandalal Bose and Ramkinkar Baij at Santiniketan. His style inspired by rich folk art traditions and also refers to the Modernism's cubistic styles of the West.
Artists and art fraternity members expressed their grief at the news of his demise.
Rajeev Lochan, director National Gallery of Modern Art
said, "The country has lost one of its legendary artists, pedagogue, theorist and scholar with the demise of K G Subramanyan. The NGMA mourns the loss of this noted personality whose contribution to the art world would be always remembered."
A retrospective exhibition of his work was held in 2003 at the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi and Mumbai.
"I got to know about his demise from friends and it is a great loss," Ranjit Hoskote, art curator, poet and cultural theorist, told PTI from Goa.
Hoskote also took to Twitter and said, "Artist, teacher, wise storyteller, inspiration to several generations of Indian artists: he will be missed."
Baroda-based artist Rekha Rodwittiya expressed sadness at the artist's demise. "Indian contemporary art has lost its icon," she said.

Multithreading is the procedure of stretching a computing task across lots of computing cores. If that’s the case, but the interference vanishes. Actually, measurements of Gaia will be quite so precise that it may supply a more stringent confirmation of light bending.
There are a lot of different approaches to quantum gravity. The upcoming atomic computing architecture should make deploying isolated computing environments safer and simpler. https://www.ozessay.com.au/ Therefore, there’s an amount of accuracy within the system which isn’t 100%, but pretty close.
The Ideal Approach for Quantum Mechanics
Our subconscious mind was shaped by that which we’ve been programmed to believe past a span of several years starting in childhood. Similarly, once you aren’t thinking of an idea, like the concept TABLE a minute past, it might have existed in your head in a state of full potentiality. So after you create your preferred destiny live your existence with that point in your thoughts backwards.
General relativity, for instance, produces remarkable insights into the character of spacetime. The history of quantum mechanics may be broken into three chief periods. It’s that which we call physics.
Let’s https://hospital.medicine.duke.edu/ backtrack only a bit, with a concise explanation of quantum physics. The second statement claims that quantum mechanics does not permit logical inference. The reality is, everybody is confused by quantum physics.
Facts, Fiction and Quantum Mechanics
The moment you understand that your mind is a garden, you can start to plant in it only the things which you desire. Folks are responding to their pre-existing environment that is keeping them in precisely the same feeling, in the very same circumstances, with the identical stuff forever! The truth is there aren’t any points existent in the universe, therefore there isn’t any moment.
It’s well worth keeping in mind that there are various alternative theories to quantum mechanics. This overall theory of relativity starts with the observation that any 2 objects will fall in a gravitational field in the same manner. Much like anything, there’s a rational and intuitive element, or rather, there’s a rationale perspective and an intuitive perspective.
Several fish, reptiles, insects and possibly even mammals are considered to use magnetic fields to navigate. The most typical reaction is a kind of dizzy feeling, together with a profound peaceful excitation. The interference that produces colored bands on bubbles can’t be explained by means of a model that depicts light for a particle.
One has to, it’s a boundary that has to custom writing service be passed into the infinitely tiny. There’s a risk that luminiferous ether truly exists, but nevertheless, it can’t be proven. Experiments have demonstrated there is a correlation.
How to Choose Quantum Mechanics
Einstein believed this spooky’ action at a distance has to be nonsense, resulting in decades of discussion. Perhaps another aspect that’s more attributed to how scientists are extremely knowledgeable mind. The period RADAR is not uncommon in the present everyday language.
Quite simply, there wouldn’t be any compelling reason to interpret the outcome with respect to the TSVF rather than one of the a number of other ways that researchers interpret quantum behavior. All must be a consideration of the entire known and unknown aspects. The mixture of which forms the real basis of nothing.
In order to make certain that the magnetic field is uniform, the pole pieces must be carefully designed. In classical mechanics, objects exist in a particular place at a particular moment. Space keeping two objects separate does not halt the quantum connection between both objects, even if they’re trillions of miles apart.
The Quantum Mechanics Chronicles
Given the understanding of the universe at present, the full history of the universe ought to be perfectly knowable. There continue to be lots of things about large and smaller physics that have yet to be reconciled. At exactly the same time that it implies that you’re accountable for what you create inside your own thoughts.
The Secret to Quantum Mechanics
Since that time, the result was confirmed several times. Take into consideration the simple fact that the only approach to detect particles is via a photo-detector. Everything has a distinct identity and is located at a particular place at a certain time.
The Fight Against Quantum Mechanics
Some of the most innovative communication systems now under development depend on the properties of quantum science to put away and transport details. The general fundamentals of radar have been known for quite a long time, but a lot of electronic discoveries were necessary before a handy system could be developed. One of the principal problems in the foundation problems of quantum mechanics is linked to the use of the observer in the observation procedure.

I will be going on a very very very long trip soon and a whole day of flights and two children I am going crazy trying to think of how to make my flights more organized so I decided to do a Crayon Roll...I know you have seen them I mean who hasn't? But I wanted to make one specifically for BEGINNER SEWERS < like myself so here is what I did:
You will need:
Now on how to make it:
1.First I cut 3 rectangles 6"x 18"
* I cut two of those rectangles using the same fabric(flannel Baseball Print) and one white cotton fabric for contrast!
2.Then you will cut one rectangle 6"x18" of felt ( I am always wanting to save some money and all you need is two sheets of felt then cut and it will cost you only 40 cents versus getting fusible interfacing)
3.You will take your contrasting fabric rectangle(white on mine) and fold in half to make the pouch for the crayons then iron flat.
4.Then you will start from the left side and measure 1 1/2" in and mark your fabric then you will mark every 1" from the first line until you get to the end I ended up with 16 pouches for crayons...*the first and last pouches will be larger then the others but you can't tell and you can add more crayons to them!!
5.Then you will be taking your felt rectangle and you will place it on the wrong side of the fabric say for instance you will place the felt on a table then you will place the fabric on top right side facing up at you and then the white fabric and line them up really good PIN REALLY WELL and sew those lines you drew for the crayons to go *you will only sew from top to bottom of white piece like i show on the picture above!
6.Then you will cut 2-3 inches of elastic and place in the middle of crayon roll and on the left side!
7.Now make a fabric sandwich and place the two main pieces right sides together PIN TOGETHER really well and leave a 3 inch opening on one side of the rectangle when sewing around to flip it right sides out when done!! using a 1/4" seam allowance.
8.Clip the excess on the corners and turn it right sides out!
It should look like this ^......then for added stability because i used two pieces of felt I sewed two straight lines going all the way up so it wouldn't bunch up. I just counted 4 squares and used the line of the fourth pouch as a guide and sewed all the way up. I counted another four squares and did the same one more time and your DONE! just roll it up and mark where you want your button and hand stitch that baby on and ENJOY!!


Students from all three Lee’s Summit public high schools rallied for Lee’s Summit Social Services last week during one of the most critical times of the year for the organization.
High schoolers from Lee’s Summit, Lee’s Summit North and Lee’s Summit West collected more than 8,700 pounds of canned food, boxed goods and other supplies for LSSS.
“I am continually amazed at the power and giving spirit of the youth in our community,” Lee’s Summit Social Services Executive Director Matt Sanning said.
“We are in such a critical time of year for what our agency provides to those in need in our communities. This amount of food – collected by these incredibly giving teens – is a massive boost for us as we head into the holiday season.”
LSSS will again feature its Christmas Store this season for families in need. And businesses can sponsor an “Angel Tree” with ornaments representing wish lists for local families as well.
For more information on the Christmas Store or to sponsor an Angel Tree, call 816-525-4357 or visit https://www.lssocialservices.com.
“This holiday season is no different than in years past – the need is still here and we want to work to make sure families are able to have the food and clothing they require,” Sanning said.
Lee’s Summit Social Services is an emergency assistance organization that provides financial, food pantry and utility resources to meet the basic needs in the communities of Lee’s Summit, Greenwood, Lake Lotawana and Lone Jack.


Made by UGEARS, rubber band powered.
You can use the model in two modes – the tram mode is propelled via a rubber band engine, while the funicular mode is when one end of the rails is tilted up to a particular level, the tram can free wheel down the track.
Want to build a bridge? It is extremely easy to do so by operating the levers on either end of the rail, which can then be used to lift the model above the surface it is resting on.
The pantograph is included to work as a lever for pushing out the wind-up wheel of the rubber band engine.
The mechanism is as realistic as possible, with a start lever, direction shifter, brake lever, and an emergency exit to the roof.
Packaging size 14.6*6.7*1.2 in (37*17*3 cm)
Model Size: 158*73*137 mm
Rail 767*54*70 mm
Number of parts: 154

Creative Creases is a monthly class I teach to 12 stampers who are part of a club. They create two hard copy patterns with unique and creative folds (aka creases) plus they create two completed cards using the patterns.
This is an exclusive class and I rarely share the projects online but today I wanted to give you a sneak peak because of my REWARDS program.
As part of my online shopping REWARDS you can receive the patterns AND the cards when you place a $50 online order. Each month the patterns and cards change so continued online ordering promises new, creative creases.
New cards and patterns are mailed after the 20th of each month.
This week's project is a "Lisa Original" fold. This pocket card has a 'pull out' feature I know you're going to enjoy. I'm also providing you with photos and measurements in this post. One of the pictures below features a full size pull out and the cutting dimensions for that project are also included.
- Cardstock base; cut cardstock 4 1/4" x 11"
- Score in half at 5 1/2"
- Cut 1" off one end of the cardstock
- On that same end, score 1" and fold down to create the flap
- Back to Black Designer Series Paper cut 3 1/4" x 4"
- Tag insert: cut cardstock 2" x 5"
- Full size cardstock cut cardstock insert: 3 3/4" x 5"
