Mochovce NPP: The turbine is spinning at Unit 3
In order to start a turbine in a nuclear power plant, you must first start it with a rotator to reach fifty-three rotations per minute. Only then you can let in the hot steam that will push the turbine blades. At full operation, they will spin three thousand times per minute.
The turbine of unit three at the Mochovce nuclear power plant started rotating for the first time in second half of June 2019. The news was presented on 2 July also to the MPs of the Slovak Parliamentary Committee for Economic Affairs who came to visit the nuclear construction site.
It’s running but not yet generating power
Spinning at a rate comparable to the human heartbeat – fifty-three per minute – preparations are being made to put the whole nuclear unit into operation. The turbine was started first by a button located directly at the turbine’s site, but then also through the main control room, which is the “brain” of the entire power plant. It controls everything – starting from the reactor through to the turbine and finishing with the cooling towers.
The first spinning of turbines is important for the commissioning of the new nuclear power plant and it allowed Slovenské elektrárne to continue with the scheduled tests.
At the control room – the launching of turbines of Mochovce NPP unit three.
Steam does not come from the reactor
Let’s talk a bit more about turbo generators of the new Mochovce power plant. Under each turbine there is a condenser. The condenser gathers the condensation of the “exhausted” steam that has been spinning the blades of the turbine’s impellers. This type of steam needs to be liquefied so that it can be afterwards reheated again and changed to steam in the steam generators, subsequently using the steam pressure to spin the turbine generators. Round and round, 345 days a year (the remaining days are taken by planned overhauls and refuelling).
When the steam passes its heat onto the condenser, how will it be cooled?
Well, this is the moment when the iconic image of nuclear power plant in Slovakia, more than one hundred and twenty metre tall cooling towers come into play. Many people passing by Mochovce or Bohunice nuclear power plants presume that reactors are hiding directly under these towers. The truth is though, the cooling tower simply cools water. More precisely, it fans the water through the natural air flow. In order to increase the cooling effect, the cooling towers are shaped as a nozzle with clouds of water aerosol rising above the installation’s panorama. The towers thus serve only for cooling the condensers.
And what about the reactor?
Well, the reactor is to be found somewhere else, in separate constructions, hundreds of metres away, enclosed in ferroconcrete containments. In June 2019, the cooling towers at Mochovce were related to yet another success in completion of the new nuclear power plant.…

Premiere filling of the unit three cooling tower
In June 2019, Slovenské elektrárne filled the cooling tower of Mochovce Unit 3 to its operational level. The huge pumps used for pumping water from the cooling tower to the condenser were turned on. It was also the premiere launch of the pump from the main control room.
About the pumps.
These are the the two largest engines at Mochovce Unit 3, used to push massive amounts of water through pipes that are two hundred and twenty centimetres wide in diameter. Each pump consumes almost five megawatts of the approximately five hundred megawatt output of each reactor unit. It means that one pump consumes as much electricity per one hour as two average Slovak households per entire year.
This is what the start-up of water circulation pump at Mochovce unit 3 looks like at the screen inside the control room.
Seventeen swimming pools per hour
No wonder that it needs a lot of juice when the pump, at its maximum flow, pushes some thirty-five thousand cubic metres per hour, i.e. thirty-five thousand tonnes of water from the cooling tower to the condenser. To have a better picture of what that means, imagine seventeen swimming pools filled in sixty minutes, or the weight of four hundred and forty Boeing 737s.
All that is needed to cool down the water for the condenser, to a temperature not higher than thirty-three degrees Celsius.

Nothing says summer like the first bite of a garden tomato.
No sooner do you take that taste than all the backyard tomatoes turn red and beg to be picked. Or so it seems. Not to worry. We have plenty of ideas on how to use up those red beauties.
Freeze them: Varieties used for sauce, such as romas or plum tomatoes, are easy to freeze. Cut out the cores and bag and freeze. When you’re ready to use them, drop them in warm water for a few minutes and the skin will slide right off.
Puree them: Boil them with a little water, put them through a food mill and place in 1-cup amounts in zip-close bags. Label and freeze.
Roast them: Core and halve the tomatoes, place in a single layer in a roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil. Roast at 325 degrees for 90 minutes to two hours, until they’re very soft. Bag and freeze, or cover with their cooking oil and refrigerate for a week. You can also puree and freeze.
Dry them: Reader Elizabeth Burns suggests doing it outdoors.
“It’s cheap and easy and delivers colorful, flavorful tomato morsels just right for snacks, salad or casserole garnish or extra zing in nearly any meal,” she wrote in an email.
Burns says to line cookie sheets with plastic wrap. Slice tomatoes crosswise, about ¼-inch thick, and lay slices on the trays, with no overlapping. Cover against bugs with a protective screen or cheesecloth and set out in full sun. After a hot day or two, they may be dry enough to turn.
“Depending on the weather, you can just leave them out 24 hours a day until they are dry (about 3-4 days),” she writes.
Store dried tomato slices in zip-close bags in the refrigerator to enjoy during the winter.
Don’t let the lengthy ingredients list dissuade you from making this dish. Make the meatballs one day and assemble the dish the next day.
2 pounds ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons cilantro
2 teaspoons green chilies
1 teaspoon minced gingerroot
1 teaspoon garlic
1½ teaspoons coriander powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
¾ teaspoons cumin powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1½ cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon peeled gingerroot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced green chilies
2 teaspoons coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon cayenne
1 can (28 ounces) tomatoes, with juice (or 3½ cups fresh chopped tomatoes; romas work best)
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garam masala
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped, for garnish
In a bowl, combine the ingredients for meatballs. Mix by hand. Lightly roll into walnut-sized balls. Do no compact. Set aside on baking tray. (This step can be done the night before.) In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute onions until beginning to color, 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and saute until browned, 8-10 minutes longer. Pour in 1 cup water. Place the baking sheet with meatballs on top of the saucepan, making sure the pan is completely covered. Reduce heat to low and simmer until onions are very soft, 8-10 minutes, or until water evaporates. The heat from the pan will “set” the meatballs. When there is no more liquid in pan, carefully lift meatballs from the baking sheet and arrange on top of onions. Cover pan and cook meatballs 1-2 minutes. Uncover pan, increase heat to medium-low and cook until meatballs are firm enough to turn gently with a spoon and the meat juices have been absorbed, 6-8 minutes. Stir meatballs to brown. Scatter ginger, garlic, chilies, coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper on top. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook until meatballs are browned. If meatballs stick, stir in a few of the tomatoes to deglaze the pan. Stir in all the tomatoes, ½ cup cilantro and the salt. Increase heat to medium. Cover and return to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until gravy is thick, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle garam masala over top. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir before serving. From “Easy Indian Cooking,” by Suneeta Vaswani (Rose, $18.95).
Makes 12 cups
10 pounds very ripe plum tomatoes, cut in quarters
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
In a large pot, heat the water over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Mix in the tomatoes, and cook for about 15 minutes or until they start to soften and break down. Reduce heat to low, add salt and keep cooking for about 2 hours or until the volume of liquid has reduced by one-third. Remove from heat and cool. Pass the mixture through a food mill to remove the solids. Place the puree in 1 cup amounts in freezer bags, press out the air and zip shut. Label and freeze. They’ll keep for at least three months. From “The Too Many Tomatoes Cookbook,” by Brian Yarvin (The Countryman Press, $19.95).
Bell Pepper and Tomato Bisque
1 large onion
2 large bell peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon salt
1½ pounds tomatoes, including romas, halved
2 cups carrots or potatoes, diced
4 cups stock
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
Cracked black pepper to taste
¼ cup half-and-half
Heat a large stockpot over high heat. Add the oil and saute the bell peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic, paprika, salt and carrots and saute for 15 minutes or until the carrots become tender. If mixture sticks, throw in a halved tomato. Decrease the heat to medium, stir in the tomatoes and cook until they dissolve. Stir in the stock, 2 tablespoons basil and the parsley. Simmer for 30 minutes. Puree the soup in a blender. Return the soup to a clean pot and reheat. Adjust seasoning. To serve, spoon the soup into a bowl and garnish with a bit of half-and-half. Note: If you cut the tomatoes in half and let them dissolve into the onions, it’s easy to fish out the tomato peels, which will curl and float to the top after the broth is added. Based on a recipe in “Organic Marin: Recipes From Land to Table,” by Tim Porter and Farina Wong Kingsley (Andrew McMeel, $29.95).
Greek Stuffed Tomatoes
Lamb can be difficult to find and sometimes you need a change-up from ground beef, so try ground pork in this recipe.
4 large ripe tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus oil for baking dish
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
½ pound ground lamb or beef or pork
½ cup uncooked white rice
2 tablespoons pine nuts
¼ cup raisins
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chicken broth
Cut the tops off the tomatoes. Use a serrated grapefruit spoon to hollow out the bodies. Reserve bodies, tops and pulp. Heat the oil, onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 15 minutes or until the onion begins to turn golden on the edges. Add the lamb and 1 cup of the reserved tomato pulp and continue cooking for about 20 minutes or until meat is completely browned. Mix in rice, pine nuts, raisins, salt and broth. Lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer covered for 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Remove from heat and set aside. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Oil a baking dish. Fill the hollow tomatoes with the meat mixture and stand them on end in the baking dish. Place the reserved tops on the tomatoes. Brush tomatoes with olive oil, and bake for 30 minutes or until completely cooked. Serve warm. From “The Too Many Tomatoes Cookbook,” by Brian Yarvin (The Countryman Press, $19.95).
Makes 10 pints; recipe can be doubled or halved
5 pounds very ripe tomatoes, squeezed and then chopped
5 pounds peaches, peeled and chopped
3 pounds onions, diced
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 ounces jalapeno peppers, diced; do not seed or de-vein
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon powdered ginger
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup chopped cilantro, with stems
½ cup chopped mint
½ cup lime juice
½ cup peach cider or peach nectar
Prepare and place all ingredients in a pot except cilantro, mint, lime juice and peach cider. Bring ingredients just below boiling; add reserved ingredients. Conduct initial pH test with pH strips. If pH is below 4.3, it is fine. To reduce, add lime juice, 1 tablespoon at a time. Hot pack at 190 degrees. Perform another pH test after 24 hours. If pH is below 4.5, safe canning was accomplished. From “Putting Up: A Year-round Guide to Canning in the Southern Tradition,” by Stephen Palmer Dowdney (Gibbs Smith, $19.99).
Dowdney’s safe canning practices mean:
• Jars and lids have been sterilized.
• Jars have been filled to the canning line.
• Initial pH has been taken and the product is safe.
• The temperature has been taken and is at or above recommendation. Or, for water bathing, the stated temperature has been obtained and a 2-minute hold period has been timed.
• The finished jars are inverted for a minimum of 2 minutes.
• After 24 hours, a test jar will be pH tested again.

Drosophila Acer (Angiotensin-converting enzyme-related) encodes a member of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) family of metallopeptidases that in mammals play roles in the endocrine regulation of blood homeostasis. ACE is also expressed in adipose tissue, where it is thought to play a role in metabolic regulation. Drosophila ACER is expressed in the adult fat body of the head and abdomen and is secreted into the haemolymph. Acer null mutants have previously been found to have reduced night-time sleep and greater sleep fragmentation. ACER may thus be part of a signalling system linking metabolism with sleep. To further understand the role of ACER in response to diet, we measured sleep and other nutrient-responsive phenotypes in Acer null flies under different dietary conditions. We show that loss of Acer disrupts the normal response of sleep to changes in nutrition. Other nutrient-sensitive phenotypes, including survival and glycogen storage, were also altered in the Acer mutant but lipid storage was not. Although the physiological substrate of the ACER peptidase has not been identified, an alteration of the normal nutrient-dependent control of Drosophila insulin-like peptide 5 protein in the Acer mutant suggests insulin/IGF-like signalling as a candidate pathway modulated by ACER in the nutrient-dependent control of sleep, survival and metabolism.

Elevated expression of the leukaemia associated antigen SSX2IP predicts good survival in acute myeloid leukaemia patients who lack detectable cytogenetic rearrangements
Guinn, B., Greiner, J., Schmitt, M. and Mills, K.I. (2009) Elevated expression of the leukaemia associated antigen SSX2IP predicts good survival in acute myeloid leukaemia patients who lack detectable cytogenetic rearrangements. Blood, 113, (5), 1203-1204. (doi:10.1182/blood-2008-09-178848).
Full text not available from this repository.
Greiner et al have previously described a positive association between elevated leukemia-associated antigen (LAA) expression (RHAMM, G250/CA9, and PRAME) and survival in 116 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients by microarray. We have analyzed 312 presentation AML samples using 199 133A chips and 113 Plus2 chips and segregated AML patients based on above- and below-median levels of expression of the LAA synovial sarcoma X breakpoint 2–interacting protein (SSX2IP). Analysis of Kaplan-Meier curves showed an association between elevated SSX2IP expression and improved survival times (log-rank test, P = .05). We found that SSX2IP expression did not predict the survival of AML patients who had detectable cytogenetic abnormalities; however, it was significantly associated with improved survival rates in patients with no detectable cytogenetic rearrangements (log-rank test, n = 180; P = .007). We also found a correlation between elevated SSX2IP expression and other clinical parameters that are considered to be good prognostic markers: days in remission (log-rank test, P = .03), age at diagnosis (< 60 years; t test, P = .003), and FLT3 WT (t test, P = .004). When we examined SSX2IP together with the expression of other LAAs known to be associated with improved survival, we found a significant correlation with SURVIVIN (Pearson correlation, P = 3.97 x 10–5) and RHAMM (Pearson correlation, P = 4.3 x 10–5). Other groups suggested that the expression of distinct LAAs on leukemic blasts may lead to the eradication of residual disease after intensive chemotherapy. RHAMM and Survivin, like SSX2IP, have increased expression in proliferating cells while RHAMM and SSX2IP are both expressed on the surface of malignant cells. There appears to be a small but growing group of LAAs that are coexpressed in AML patients and are associated with improved survival. We examined whether having 1 or more of SSX2IP, Survivin, or RHAMM affected survival in patients with a normal karyotype and found that having expression of none, 1, 2 or all 3 of these LAAs was a significant prognostic indicator (log-rank test, P = .021, respectively). With regard to the presence of cytogenetic abnormalities, these appear to supersede the influence of elevated LAA expression on prognosis.
In summary, we have found that SSX2IP expression at disease presentation predicts good survival in AML patients with no detectable cytogenetic rearrangements. This may, in part, explain why patients with low LAA expression (often the elderly) fail to elicit effective immune responses and tend to have poorer survival. A new phase in cancer-targeted therapy will be particularly difficult, but especially needed, for AML patients whose tumors lack cytogenetic abnormalities and detectable immunogenic LAA expression and whose survival rates are notably reduced

Consolidation of the Confederation
Between 1415 (conquest of the Habsburg Aargau) and 1474 (beginning of the Burgundian Wars), a solid state system was formed, the Swiss Confederation. It was expanded until 1536. The system comprised the “Thirteen Old Places” from 1513 (also known as the “Thirteen-Place Confederation”): aristocratic guild city republics (Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, Basel, Freiburg im Üechtland, Solothurn and Schaffhausen) and “democratic” countries (Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden, Glarus, Appenzell), as well as the half-urban, half-rural train. In addition, allies of various degrees appeared as facing places, v. a. the cities of St. Gallen, Biel (BE), Rottweil (until the 17th century), Mulhouse and Geneva, the Abbey of St. Gallen, the Principality of Neuchâtel and the Diocese of Basel (not until 1579). The two Alpine republics, Valais and the Free State of the Three Leagues (Graubünden), had also gained closer contact with the Confederation of the “Thirteen Old Places”. Although they belonged to the entire federal system, they regarded themselves as independent republics organized internally as federations. The government system of the Confederation was that of a federation. The thirteen old places and some of the places facing them were represented by delegations of two at the daily statuterepresent. As a conference of ambassadors, this guarded the common affairs, without prejudice to the sovereignty of the individual place (canton). The cantons jointly administered subject areas (Landvogtei), results of conquest and acquisition (parts of today’s cantons Aargau and Sankt Gallen, today’s cantons Thurgau and Ticino).
Military successes and the end of expansion
After successfully overcoming the internal crisis in the Toggenburg War of Inheritance (1440–46 / 50), a last attempt by the Habsburgs to seize the lost territories, the Confederation of Swiss (thirteen-place Confederation) came to power. to regain with the help of the Armagnaks (Armagnac; victory at Sankt Jakob an der Birs, 1444; dissolution of the alliance between Zurich and Habsburg), to international reputation through the unexpected victories over Charles the Bold of Burgundy (Grandson and Murten, 1476; Nancy, 1477) whose wide-ranging territorial state ambitions were thus ended.
According to computergees, the Swiss, long known to be strong in combat, have since allowed recruiters from foreign powers to recruit the surplus young team as mercenaries (“foreign services”; including ” Swiss Guard”). The crisis between urban and rural cantons that arose over the application for membership from Freiburg and Solothurn (the latter were temporarily hostile to the reinforcement of the former) was settled through the mediation of Nikolaus von Flüe (brother Klaus) (Stanser Verkommnis, 1481). At the end of the 15th century, the Rütli myth was formed to legitimize the Swiss Confederation (including in the “White Book of Sarnen ”).
In the Italian War between the Valois and the Habsburgs, the Swiss tried to intervene independently in 1511-15 within the framework of the Holy League directed against France. It succeeded in driving the French out of northern Italy (1512) and securing the Duchy of Milan with the victory of Novara (1513), but French diplomacy succeeded in dividing the cantons. The military defeat of Marignano (Melegnano) 1515 led to a rethink. An “eternal peace” was concluded with France in 1516 and a close alliance in 1521, which was a treaty of friendship and pay. From the territorial conquests of these wars, the Swiss were left with the area of today’s Canton of Ticino (Ennetbergische Vogteien) and the Valtellina (common rule of the Three Leagues). In 1536, Bern used a favorable opportunity in the Italian War to conquer the Vaud region (Vaud, Story). As a result, however, the Swiss share in world politics was again limited to the role of mercenary supplier. This was done through the granting of advertising licenses by the cantons, which received compensation (pensions) for this. For various reasons it was necessary to renounce an active foreign policy. The form of government of the federation was not suitable for uniform action; the division into two denominational blocs caused by the Reformation did the rest. The integration into a confederation was subject to geographical limits.
The development of the Confederation of the Thirteen Old Places (Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden, Glarus, Zug, Freiburg, Solothurn, Basel, Schaffhausen and Appenzell), which remained territorially unchanged until 1798/1803, took place within the framework of the Holy Roman Empire completed (German history). Initially, the emperors (especially the Luxembourgers) promoted the development of the Swiss imperial cities and states (against the Habsburgs). The rejection of Maximilian I’s plans for imperial reform led to the Swabian War of 1499; it ended after Swiss successes (especially the battle of Dornach, 22.7.1499) with the compromise of the peace of Basel (22.9.1499). The Swiss Confederation retained its old privileges and effectively left the empire.
Reformation and denominational division
State church measures of the cantons as well as social movements in the peasantry of different cantons favored the advance of the Reformation. Basel and St. Gallen proved to be centers of humanistic criticism. In Basel, for example, B. Erasmus, J. Amerbach and H. Glareanus, in St. Gallen J. Vadianus. The political positions of the bishops were undermined everywhere. The Reformation fell into the crisis after the Milanese defeat and the reorientation towards France. In U. Zwingli, Zurich found a reformer who, far more consistently than M. Luther, tackled both the theological-ecclesiastical and the political-social side of the new order.


In a tragic incident in Mississippi, USA, a young girl died after her younger brother allegedly shot her in the head. Reportedly, he got upset with her because she refused to hand the video game controller over to him. He then went on to shoot her. According to reports in a leading American news channel, Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell said that the girl passed away on Sunday. On Monday, it was identified that the young girl was only 13 years old at the time of her death.
As per reports, when the girl wouldn't give her 9-year-old brother the controller on Saturday, the boy went and grabbed a .25-caliber gun, the sheriff said. The boy then shot his sister in the back of her head. She was immediately rushed to a children's hospital but unfortunately, she did not survive. Authorities have revealed that they are yet unaware of how the boy even got the gun in the first place. An investigation is still going on in the case. Stay tuned for more updates.


Senate to resume ‘ninja cop’ probe on Oct. 9
MANILA, Philippines — The Senate is set to resume its probe on the so-called “ninja cops” or policemen who allegedly engage on the recycling or reselling of seized illegal drugs on Wednesday, October 9.
Senator Richard Gordon, chair of the Senate justice and human rights committee leading the inquiry, said that there will new witnesses that will come forward and new evidence that will be presented.
He added that the hearing will also give embattled Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Oscar Albayalde a chance to clear his name and answer questions about the issue.
“The people have a right to know how these ‘ninja cops,’ these corrupt cops, operate and they are entitled to justice. People want to know that the policeman that they have work for them,” Gordon said in a statement.
“That they are still working for their welfare, for their safety. Having these corrupt cops is like being trapped in a hen house with a ravenous python,” he added.
Gordon maintained that policemen engaging in the drug trade is a “betrayal of the President” as they “have been paid well, ahead of the teachers.”
“More importantly, they betray the people. They betray the people, they betray the President in spite of the fact that taxpayers’ money is given them to increase their salary,” he added.
In a press conference, Senate President Vicente Sotto III said he expects something “explosive” during the resumption of the Senate inquiry as new witnesses and evidence will be presented.
He added that he signed nine subpoenas in connection with the ongoing investigation.
“I think there will be new evidence and one or two witnesses. New evidence for sure because I signed about nine subpoenas last night,” he said. /je

A 19-year-old girl, referred to as Guo Lingling (this may be a pseudonym), was allegedly struck and kicked repeatedly by her so-called instructors after failing to ask permission to go to the bathroom. An autopsy report showed she died from skull injuries and brain damage.
Sales of counterfeit products represent nearly 45% of those cases, 18.2% higher than last year. Bad feedback from consumers, frequent returns of goods, and complaints have been plenty. Some sellers use unreal low price as a business trap to promote their products.
The Lost Tomb is an action and adventure TV adaption of a popular online novel by Xu Lei. This is the first seasonal online TV series in China and the novel is scheduled to be dramatized in eight seasons, one season for each year. The first season was released in June of 2015. The novel series of the same name is about several people`s adventure in ancient tombs, and it enjoyed a wide readership since it was released online in 2006. Thus the adapted TV series had been accordingly highly expected by its fans but turned out to be disappointing. Although there were 24,000,000 hits on the web within the first two minutes of its debut, the season was later criticized by the audiences for its weak storyline and poor quality. Some lines of the series even became jokes on the social media.
There was no immediate word from the Romney camp on the reported results。

May 9, 2014 – Hillary Clinton:”President Jonathan Embezzles Nigeria’s Oil Money & Promotes Corruption”
Ex-United States Secretary of State has lambasted Nigerian President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan over corruption in Nigeria and reckless spending of Nigeria’s oil money
Hillary made this known while speaking in separate events in New York City.
Clinton said President Jonathan has squardered Nigeria’s oil resources and has indirectly aided corruption in the country.
Clinton, who also expressed her anger over the abducted schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State, spoke with ABC-TV’s Robin Roberts on American national television, and also at a public function organised by the International Crisis Group.
Later, the former Senator and First Lady made other critical remarks concerning Nigeria at a philanthropy parley, as she was widely quoted by several American media outlets, including CNN.
Clinton stated the following position in the New York events she attended, challenging the credibility and quality of the country’s leadership under President Jonathan’s watch.
“The seizure of these young women by this radical, extremist group, Boko Haram, is abominable, it’s criminal, it’s an act of terrorism, and it really merits the fullest response possible, first and foremost from the government of Nigeria,” Clinton told ABC-TV.
“The government of Nigeria has been, in my view, somewhat derelict in its responsibility toward protecting boys and girls, men and women in northern Nigeria over the last years,” she said.
“The Nigerian government must accept help – particularly intelligence, surveillance and recognizance help – their troops have to be the ones that (are) necessary, but they could do a better job if they accept the offers that are being made. Nigeria has made bad choices, not hard choices,” Clinton said, parroting the name of her forthcoming memoir.
“They have squandered their oil wealth; they have allowed corruption to fester, and now they are losing control of parts of their (own) territory because they would not make hard choices,” she went on to say.
“The Nigerian government has failed to confront the threat, or to address the underlying challenges. Most of all, the government of Nigeria needs to get serious about protecting all of its citizens and ensuring that every child has the right and opportunity to go to school,” she said in her address to the function organised by the International Crisis Group.
“Every asset and expertise should be brought to bear. Everyone needs to see this for what it is, it is a gross human rights abuse, but it is also part of a continuing struggle within Nigeria and within North Africa,” she added forcefully.

NOTE: I have been dealing with deaths in the family and did not sign on to Swap-bot or send swaps for a long while. I feel that I am ready to move on and feel that returning to the Swap-bot community will help me do so. I am trying to remedy my low ratings now, so please be patient with me. Thank you for your understanding.
Hello! Just a little blurb about me. Born and raised in Texas, I am a college student and mother of a 2 year old named Andy. Reading and crafting keep me sane so I always find time for them!
My current hobby is cross stitching (mostly video game art) and I love finding modern and interesting patterns. I also love cooking and baking, its so rewarding to be able to enjoy your delectable "art"!
I recently got a sewing machine and im excited to learn how to use it! I've also always wanted to try and learn how to make little felt animals, they are so adorable!
One of these days I hope to get a die cutter machine, cursive typewriter and a letter press, but they are so gosh darn expensive. Its also one of my dreams to own a laser cutter. Have you seen those things? How can you NOT want one??
My home is smoke-free and although we do have pets, they are blocked off away from my crafting area.
Here are a few things that I enjoy:
I make scrabble tile pendants and have some Twilight themed ones available. If you would like to do a private swap with me just sent me a message!
I have lots of other things that are available too, but there are so many random things it'll be easier if you tell me what youre looking for. However, I currently have the following in mass quantities:
Hardcover children's books
TONS of quarter machine bubbles (the container the little toy comes in)
Baby themed scrapbooking stickers
Most of my closest friends are currently serving overseas. I would love to send a helicopter or camo helmet stuffie/plushie to them if you could help me out, PM me and we can do a private swap.
Cute address labels ( I do not have a color printer )
StazOn ink pads ( any color )
Regular ink pads ( any color except black and blue )
Rubber stamp of: sparrow, fox, bird in flight
Back issues of Craft: magazine ( http://craftzine.com/ )
Back issues of Make: magazine ( http://makezine.com/ )
I do not wish to receive Dotees and overtly religious items. I do not mind religious quotes and such, but please nothing with too strong of an overtone. Also please, no teas, I have plenty here that I do not even drink.
Stationery-wise, I prefer not to get Diddl or designs with phrases on them, but if its what you have that is ok.
NOTE FOR SUMMERTIME: It is EXTREMELY HOT here, please do not send any chocolate, candles, or anything melty right now.

In our weekly blog posts, we’ve examined a number of topics like, trends in gaming, and what motivates players, but who is actually playing mobile games? According to EEDAR’s 2016 report, women (with an average age of 38), are the majority at 55%. Also, console gaming, a segment of the market traditionally populated mainly by younger males, has now reached a 50/50 gender composition.
Interestingly, despite being in the majority, women aren’t the biggest spenders. On the contrary, men largely surpass women when it comes to in-game spending (60% of paying players are male). In addition, the data collected on the amount of time spent on gaming apps versus other smartphone apps, reveals some curious results: men spend more time on mobile games, while women spend the most time on social media.
It’s interesting that while women comprise the majority of mobile game players, they spend less time and money than men who play mobile games. Why don’t women make as many purchases on their favorite mobile games? We could speculate endlessly about many factors behind the different spending behaviors between men and women, but a deeper look at the gaming industry composition might offer some insights.
Is the gaming industry neglecting its largest audience?
As Meg Jayanth summarized in her 2014 Guardian article, “52% of gamers are women- but the industry doesn’t know it”. This applies not only to the people playing the games but also the people who are creating them. According to research done in 2011 by Tiga, a UK based Independent Game Developers’ association, women accounted for only 12% of game developers in Britain. What has changed since that report was first published? According to the latest worldwide statistics on gender distribution in the gaming industry, the percentage of female game developers has increased over the years, reaching 23 % in 2016, and it’s likely to continue rising; but clearly, women are still overwhelmingly underrepresented in the industry.
Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why the games targeted at men (first-person shooters, action RPGs, battle, and strategy, etc.) continue to dominate the app marketplace. There’s no doubt, many women also enjoy these types of games, but which types of games are most popular with women? According to this 2016 analysis, women tend to prefer quiz, card, slot, trivia, simulation, and social games. Puzzle games appear to be gender neutral, accounting for the most popular genre for both men and women.
With a few exceptions, the majority of new releases are genres targeted to male players, and it’s still rare to see female protagonists or heroines with whom female players may identify. That seems like a missed opportunity, considering that some games geared more towards women, for example, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood and Covet Fashion, were among the top 100 grossing games in 2016.
While the industry is slowly moving to keep up with the growing demographic of adult women, on the flipside we are seeing more and more female developers entering the gaming sector. Recent initiatives by Google and Blizzard aim to increase inclusivity & diversity in the industry. Just earlier this month, Women in Games (with the endorsement of the IMGA) presented the first-ever Women In Games Mobile Awards, recognizing games created by teams with women developers based in Europe.
If you’re struggling with reaching your target demographic, getting them engaged, and converting them to high-value customers, drop us a line!

Ever since the Model S has been launched, Tesla has seen a steady increase in stock value and with the excellent service to go with the electric car, the manufacturer has secured its place in the industry.
But recently, an accident involving the Model S has struck a blow to the company.
After hitting a large metal object which fell of a truck, the Tesla Model S caught fire and burned to a crisp. This happened in spite of the fact that an electric vehicle is, in theory, far safer than an internal combustion engine user. In a press release, Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, explained what happened.
It seems that the mentioned piece of metal penetrated the thick underbelly of the car, damaging the battery pack and starting the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was made worse by the firefighters, as they reportedly destroyed a metal firewall.
This little incident caught the internet’s attention, which, in turn, prompted a sudden drop in share value, going from $190 to $168, before stabilizing again at $181.

Party stands alone in eight Phnom Penh communes
PHNOM PENH – The Cambodian People's Party (CPP) will automatically win control of at least 24 communes, taking a total of 158 seats, as it is the only party contesting these communes in Sunday’s election.
The National Election Committee named these communes as: Sangkat Boeung Kok (7 seats) and Sangkat Kampong Cham (7 seats) in Kampong Cham province; Sangkat Monorom (5 seats) in Mondulkiri province: Morokot commune (7 seats), Choam Ksan district, Preah Vihear province; Kandeang commune (5 seats), Reang Til (5 seats), Kandeang district, Krapei Pi commune (5 seats), Veal Veng district, Pursat province; Thmor Daun Pov commune (5 seats), Thmar Bang district, Koh Kong; province; Sangkat Koy Trabek (5 seats), Svay Rieng city.
Seven communes in Ratanakkiri province are included: Talao (5 seats), Andong Meas district, Long Khong commune (5 seats), Bor Keo district, Samaki commune (5 seats), Laak (5 seats), O'Chum district, Ta Veng Krom commune (5 seats) Ta Veng district, Koh Pong commune (5 seats), Kok Lak (5 seats), Vern Sai district.
In Phnom Penh, the CPP stands alone in eight communes: Sangkat Boeung Trabek (7 seats), Khan Chamkar Morn, Sangkat Or Russey I (9 seats), Or Russey II (9 seats), Monorom (9 seats), Mittapheap (9 seats), Khan 7 Makara, Depot Market 1 (9 seats), Doeum Kor Market (11 seats), Khan Toul Kork and Sangkat Toul Svay Prey I (9 seats), Boeung Keng Kang.
Of the 17 parties contesting the elections, the CPP was the only one standing in 1,652 communes across the country, while the Candlelight Party is standing in 1,623 communes.
Funcinpec has 680 candidates in the communes, followed by the Khmer National United Party (596), the Cambodia National Love Party (315), Cambodia Nationality's Party (245) and the Cambodian Youth Party (114).
The other 10 parties have candidates in fewer than 100 communes, including the Cambodia Reform Party (59), the Khmer Will Party (58), the Kampucheaniyum Party (38), the Grassroots Democratic Party (32), the Khmer United Party (30), Beehive Social Democratic Party (23), Indigenous Peoples Democratic Party of Cambodia (19), Khmer National Unity Party (14), Raksmey Khemara Party (6) and Khmer Economic Development Party (4).
The NEC has rejected some candidates, especially from the Candlelight Party, because they do not meet the legal requirements, with some unable to read and write Khmer.
This means the Candlelight Party will lose the chance to contest 11 communes. The same thing has happened with the Beehive Social Democratic Party and the Khmer Will Party.
In many communes, the Candlelight Party is competing with the CPP. In addition to the communes where the CPP stands alone, the Candlelight Party has no candidate in five other communes.
The Candlelight Party will not be represented in two communes in Phnom Penh, Sangkat Prek Leap and Khan Chroy Changva. The CPP is competing in the latter only with the Khmer National Unite Party. In Sangkat Kbal Koh, Khan Chbar Ampov, the CPP will compete with FUNCINPEC.
In Kaleng commune, in Ratanakkiri's Lumphat district, the CPP is competing with the Khmer National United Party, while the Indigenous Peoples Democratic Party is facing the CPP in Sangkat Sokdom, Sen Monorom City, Mondulkiri province. In Toul Korkir commune, Mondul Seima district, Koh Kong province, the Cambodian People's Party is competing with the Cambodian Youth Party.

Walter M. Kimbrough, president of the historically black Dillard University in New Orleans, told the Washington Post, "Simply put, as we see young black people chant 'Black Lives Matter' in the streets, their actions clearly indicate that black colleges matter as well."
According to The Washington Post, HBCUs like Claflin University in South Carolina and Harris-Stowe State University in St. Louis—just miles from where Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson—are welcoming record-sized freshmen classes this year. Enrollment has also jumped at Shaw University (49 percent), South Carolina State (39 percent), Tuskegee University (32 percent), Virginia State University (30 percent), Philander Smith College (29 percent), Dillard University (22 percent), Central State University (22 percent), Florida Memorial University (20 percent) and Delaware State University (19 percent).
This comes after nearly 38 percent of HBCUs reported a 10 percent increase in enrollment between 2013 and 2014, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics.
The surge comes after protests at predominantly white institutions (PWIs) around the country demanded more black students, faculty, and staff; name changes for buildings named after racists; mandatory diversity training; and the creation of safe spaces for students. By December 2015, student protesters at 80 colleges and universities had issued written or verbal demands.
Some progress has been made, with universities putting together task forces, creating new initiatives, and hiring more diversity officers.
However, Kimbrough argued that, while PWIs absolutely need to be more inclusive and diverse, "students of color must have reasonable expectations." For example, "Demanding a school in a rural town of a homogeneous state to have large numbers of black faculty and staff will never happen."
For black students, Kimbrough wrote, HBCUs "serve as the original safe spaces."
According to a recent survey by Inside Higher Ed and Gallup, "While 84 percent of university leaders believe race relations on their own campuses are either 'excellent' or 'good,' less than 25 percent thought so about race relations on other campuses in 2015-16."
While minority institutions make up only 3 percent of all colleges and universities, 11 percent of African-American students are enrolled in HBCUs, according to the Center for Minority Serving Institutions at Penn.
A 2015 Gallup poll found that black graduates of HBCUs were more professionally and personally fulfilled than black graduates of predominantly white institutions.
In addition to the obvious benefits of higher HBCU enrollment, the increase could help HBCUs stay afloat. In recent years, HBCUs have struggled financially, with some on the verge of collapse. Higher enrollment could help HBCUs keep their bond rating, keep their staff, and keep their accreditation status.


Last time I gave a speech at a rally, as a graduate student, I just winged it and it didn’t go so well--so today I wrote some things down. I want to talk mainly about the political situation surrounding public education and some new openings in the political context.
Since I arrived here a decade ago, I’ve watched the California legislature and Governors Davis, Schwarzenegger and Brown systematically de-fund the greatest public university system in the world. Meanwhile, the university has tried to balance its books on the backs of the students.
Over those ten years, many of us (students, faculty, staff and sometimes administrators) have organized, lobbied and protested but the cuts have just kept coming. In the last three years, the Great Recession has made California’s budget crisis even worse, the cuts have been deeper, and the tuition increases have been just ridiculous.
Part of the problem is Prop 13, the 1978 ballot initiative that required a 2/3 supermajority for any increase in California’s taxes. This allowed a minority of Republican legislators to hold a blue state hostage to their anti-tax, anti-government, anti-equality agenda and forced us into a budget crisis. Unfortunately, Californians seemed in no mood to repeal Prop 13 despite the deterioration of California’s public services (and especially its schools). And any attempt at repeal would certainly be countered by a massive corporate advertising blitz.
It’s a bleak picture. But lately things are looking up a bit. The Democrats are currently two seats away from a 2/3 supermajority in both the Senate and Assembly and the November election may allow them to achieve it. In 2008, Californians gave a citizen’s commission (rather than the legislature) the power to draw legislative districts. Under these new districts, the Democrats will most likely pick up enough seats in the State Senate and MAY be able to do so in the State Assembly. Two of the closest Assembly races are local. The 8th District in East Sacramento County where three Democrats face off against two Republicans and the 9th district in Elk Grove/Lodi where UC Davis Med School Professor Dr. Richard Pan faces off against two Republicans. The top two vote getters in the June 5 primary will go on to the November election.
Another development is both hopeful and terrifying. Governor Brown has placed a referendum on the November ballot to temporarily raise income taxes for the wealthy and sales taxes for everyone. If the measure passes, he promises an increase for higher education of 4 percent per year for three years. But if it fails, more cuts. The measure appears to have the support of a slim majority of the voters at this moment, but only if two similar initiatives are removed from the ballot.
If the Democrats do win a supermajority, the battle to restore UC funding will still be at the beginning. Democratic legislators, like most politicians, are cowards and many have bought into the Republican argument that tax increases retard economic growth. We will need to pressure them hard--both during and after the election. The Governor’s commitment to higher education is also suspect.
We also must pressure the UC and UC Davis Administrations. Unfortunately, the administration has a very narrow view of politics. It is resigned to meekly lobbying legislators for funding, failing miserably, and then raising tuition. It has not yet committed to campaigning for a new legislative majority that can re-fund the UC System and forcing that majority to do so. We must demand such a commitment from the regents, UC President Mark Yudof, and our Chancellor (who happens to be on the defensive right now).
The protests have been making a difference. They caused Yudof and the regents to back off the latest round of tuition increases, for the moment. And 74% of Californians now believe that state funding for higher education is inadequate. Unfortunately, only 45% are willing to pay higher taxes to restore funding.
We need to help Californians understand that new revenues will be necessary if we hope to preserve affordable higher education. We also need to convince them that the benefits of affordable higher education do not just go to individual students but to all the lives they touch. Affordable public education helps Californians to live more prosperous, healthy and meaningful lives, it helps them understand and participate in their democracy, it promotes social mobility and equality of opportunity, and it promotes economic and cultural growth.
The occupy movement has so far remained non-partisan and non-electoral in order to avoid being co-opted by the Democrats and in order to seek deeper levels of change than simply electing a new slate of legislators beholden to corporate campaign contributions.
That’s probably wise for occupy, but the movement to defend higher education pre-dates occupy and is bigger than occupy. There are roles and responsibilities for all of us.
As a movement, we must work at all levels—though not everyone must work at every level—protesting, changing public opinion, lobbying elected officials, and winning elections. At this moment, we have a political opening—Let’s use it.
I want to end with the names of three websites that I think are especially useful (just google them): ReFund California, Remaking the University, and Fight for your Education. I also have links to all of these on my blog: after-dinner critic.

The study showed that the teeth of babies with particular genetic variants appear later and that these children have a lower number of teeth by age one.
Furthermore, the research found that those children whose teeth develop later are more likely to need orthodontic treatment.
In addition to the new findings, the UK’s leading oral health educator, the British Dental Health Foundation maintains that a good oral health programme remains vital to the development of children’s teeth.
Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter added that dummy and thumb sucking was partly the cause of future orthodontic treatment.
He said: “These can both eventually cause problems with how the teeth grow and develop and may result in treatment with a brace when the child gets older. If your baby needs a dummy, there are ‘orthodontic’ soothers or dummies that reduce the risk of development problems in the future.
“It is recommended that children should go to the dentist with their parents as soon as possible. You should then take them regularly, as often as your dentist recommends.
This will let them get used to the noises, smells and surroundings and prepare them for future visits. The earlier these visits begin, the more relaxed the children will be.”
The National Dental Helpline (0845 063 1188) receives thousands of calls every year for advice on orthodontic treatment and general oral health issues, alongside enquiries to the www.dentalhealth.org website.
The study, which was carried out by members of Imperial College London, the University of Bristol and the University of Oulu in Finland, scanned the entire genetic code of 6,000 individuals.
The participants were tracked from the mother’s early pregnancy right up until adulthood.
Dr Carter added: “First or ‘baby’ teeth usually develop before your child is born and will start to come through at around 6 months. All 20 baby teeth should be through by the age of 2, with the first permanent ‘adult’ molars (back teeth) appearing at about 6 years of age, behind the baby teeth and before the first teeth start to fall out at about 6 to 7.
“However, all children are different and develop at different rates.”
Researchers identified five genes associated with both the first tooth eruption and the number of teeth aged one. It also revealed that 35% of participants were more likely to require orthodontic treatment by the age of 30 years old.
Abnormal tooth development may lead to dental problems that demand challenging and costly orthodontic treatment.
The discovery of genes influencing tooth growth may lead to innovations in the early treatment and prevention of congenital dental and occlusion problems.

Being sick actually benefited my HSHY cross stitch tremendously. I was able to spend another 2-3 hours on it throughout the day when I was feeling perkier and whenever I got too tired to keep chugging, I'd just grab a pillow and blanket and crashed out for a few hours while he played video games or graded papers for his students.
|Progress as of 12/26/2013.|
In total, I've spent eight hours on this project so far and put down 791 stitches (3.66%), another big jump from where I was at WIP 005. I hope that I'll be able to complete a decent chunk of this project before going back to work and school on the 22nd. It's an ambitious goal, but if I could even get a quarter of this project done by then, it would be a huge accomplishment.

After Nine Eleven 2001: politics, law and Australian democracy
thesisposted on 2022-03-29, 00:12 authored by Michael Gerard Crowley
This research combines aspects of politics and law. The focus is on the political and legislative responses by the Australian Parliament to the terrorist attacks in the United States of America on 11 September 2001. These responses were driven, among other things, by power, politics, fear and Australia’s close association with the United States of America. The research was informed by interview responses from a number of parliamentarians sitting in Federal Parliament in the years 2001–4. A focus on the political and legislative responses recognises the significance that politics, including party politics, plays in Parliament when enacting important and contentious legislation. Interview responses highlight the dominant role the office of prime minister played in Australia’s legislative responses. Other outcomes from interviews include the narrowing of community representation in Parliament, the role of fear in political decision-making and a belief that the Parliament was expected to act decisively to protect Australians. The political and legislative responses to terrorism in Australia are underpinned by history and philosophy, with the research being guided by the distinct but equally useful perspectives of Camus’ analysis of rebellion and Luhmann’s social systems theory, combined with interviews of parliamentarians. These interviews had a foundation in Emy’s earlier interviews and analysis of members of Parliament. This approach provided a strong base on which to analyse and discuss Australia’s response to the events of 9/11. Trends and future risks to Australia’s democracy are identified and discussed. A series of papers provide an in-depth discussion and analysis of selected issues, including the Australian–American alliance, the use of secret evidence and closed courts, how and why cogent punishments were handed out to persons convicted in Australia under the new terrorism offences, the impact of terrorism on corporate governance and collateral uses of terrorism legislation by the Government. A common theme emerging from the research is the influence a charged national security environment has in a democracy when conflicts arise over individual versus state rights.
