New York City cop Barry Sutton investigates the devastating phenomenon the media has dubbed False Memory Syndrome-- a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. Neuroscientist Helena Smith dedicated her life to creating a technology that will let us preserve our most precious moments of our pasts. If she succeeds, anyone will be able to re-experience a first kiss, the birth of a child, the final moment with a dying parent. Together they face a force that attacks not just our minds but the very fabric of the past. Memory makes reality-- and the force is beginning to unmake the world as we know it. -- adapted from jacket.
The future is everything we wanted it to be—and far more than we bargained for. It is the twenty-third century. Herb, a young entrepreneur, returns to the isolated planet on which he has illegally been trying to build a city—and finds it destroyed by a swarming nightmare of self-replicating machinery. Worse, the all-seeing Environment Agency has been watching him the entire time. His punishment? A nearly hopeless battle in the farthest reaches of the universe against enemy machines twice as fast, and twice as deadly, as his own—in the company of a disarmingly confident AI who may not be exactly what he claims. . . . Little does Herb know that this war of machines was set in motion nearly two hundred years ago—by mankind itself. For it was then that a not-quite-chance encounter brought a confused young girl and a nearly omnipotent AI together in one fateful moment that may have changed the course of humanity forever.
Book Introduction to Recursive Programming Description/Summary:
Recursion is one of the most fundamental concepts in computer science and a key programming technique that allows computations to be carried out repeatedly. Despite the importance of recursion for algorithm design, most programming books do not cover the topic in detail, despite the fact that numerous computer programming professors and researchers in the field of computer science education agree that recursion is difficult for novice students. Introduction to Recursive Programming provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to recursion. This text will serve as a useful guide for anyone who wants to learn how to think and program recursively, by analyzing a wide variety of computational problems of diverse difficulty. It contains specific chapters on the most common types of recursion (linear, tail, and multiple), as well as on algorithm design paradigms in which recursion is prevalent (divide and conquer, and backtracking). Therefore, it can be used in introductory programming courses, and in more advanced classes on algorithm design. The book also covers lower-level topics related to iteration and program execution, and includes a rich chapter on the theoretical analysis of the computational cost of recursive programs, offering readers the possibility to learn some basic mathematics along the way. It also incorporates several elements aimed at helping students master the material. First, it contains a larger collection of simple problems in order to provide a solid foundation of the core concepts, before diving into more complex material. In addition, one of the book's main assets is the use of a step-by-step methodology, together with specially designed diagrams, for guiding and illustrating the process of developing recursive algorithms. Furthermore, the book covers combinatorial problems and mutual recursion. These topics can broaden students' understanding of recursion by forcing them to apply the learned concepts differently, or in a more sophisticated manner. The code examples have been written in Python 3, but should be straightforward to understand for students with experience in other programming languages. Finally, worked out solutions to over 120 end-of-chapter exercises are available for instructors.
In this monograph the recursion method is presented as a method for the analysis of dynamical properties of quantum and classical many-body systems in thermal equilibrium. Such properties are probed by many different experimental techniques used in materials science. Several representations and formulations of the recursion method are described in detail and documented with numerous examples, ranging from elementary illustrations for tutorial purposes to realistic models of interest in current research in the areas of spin dynamics and low-dimensional magnetism. The performance of the recursion method is calibrated by exact results in a number of benchmark tests and compared with the performance of other calculational techniques. The book addresses graduate students and researchers.
Book Recursion Across Domains Description/Summary:
Explores two important phenomena in natural language - recursion and embedding - integrating current linguistic theory, cross-linguistic fieldwork, and specific acquisition and experimental techniques.
Book Recursion: Complexity in Cognition Description/Summary:
This volume focuses on recursion and reveals a host of new theoretical arguments, philosophical perspectives, formal representations and empirical evidence from parsing, acquisition and computer models, highlighting its central role in modern science. Noam Chomsky, whose work introduced recursion to linguistics and cognitive science and other leading researchers in the fields of philosophy, semantics, computer science and psycholinguistics in showing the profound reach of this concept into modern science. Recursion has been at the heart of generative grammar from the outset. Recent work in minimalism has put it at center-stage with a wide range of consequences across the intellectual landscape. The contributor to this volume both advance the field and provide a cross-sectional view of the place that recursion takes in modern science.
Thinking Recursively Eric S. Roberts Digital Equipment Corporation Recursion: The process of solving large problems by breaking them down into smaller, more simple problems that have identical forms. Thinking Recursively: A small text to solve large problems. Concentrating on the practical value of recursion. this text, the first of its kind, is essential to computer science students’ education. In this text, students will learn the concept and programming applications of recursive thinking. This will ultimately prepare students for advanced topics in computer science such as compiler construction, formal language theory, and the mathematical foundations of computer science. Key Features: Concentration on the practical value of recursion. Eleven chapters emphasizing recursion as a unified concept. Extensive discussion of the mathematical concepts which help the students to develop an appropriate conceptual model. Large number of imaginative examples with solutions. Large sets of exercises.
Book System Simulation by Recursive Feedback Description/Summary:
Conventional construction of digital dynamic system simulations often involves collecting differential equations that model each subsystem, arranging them to a standard form, and obtaining their numerical solution as a single coupled, total-system simultaneous set. Simulation by numerical coupling of independent stand-alone subsimulations is a fundamentally different approach that is attractive because, among other things, the architecture naturally facilitates high fidelity, broad scope, and discipline independence. Recursive feedback is defined and discussed as a candidate approach to multidiscipline dynamic system simulation by numerical coupling of self-contained, single-discipline subsystem simulations. A satellite motion example containing three subsytems (orbit dynamics, attitude dynamics and aerodynamics ) has been defined and constructed using this approach.
Book Classical Recursion Theory Description/Summary:
1988 marked the first centenary of Recursion Theory, since Dedekind's 1888 paper on the nature of number. Now available in paperback, this book is both a comprehensive reference for the subject and a textbook starting from first principles. Among the subjects covered are: various equivalent approaches to effective computability and their relations with computers and programming languages; a discussion of Church's thesis; a modern solution to Post's problem; global properties of Turing degrees; and a complete algebraic characterization of many-one degrees. Included are a number of applications to logic (in particular Gödel's theorems) and to computer science, for which Recursion Theory provides the theoretical foundation.
Book Interfaces + Recursion = Language? Description/Summary:
Human language is a phenomenon of immense richness: It provides finely nuanced means of expression that underlie the formation of culture and society; it is subject to subtle, unexpected constraints like syntactic islands and cross-over phenomena; different mutually-unintelligeable individual languages are numerous; and the descriptions of individual languages occupy thousands of pages. Recent work in linguistics, however, has tried to argue that despite all appearances to the contrary, the human biological capacity for language may be reducible to a small inventory of core cognitive competencies. The most radical version of this view has emerged from the Minimalist Program: The claim that language consists of only the ability to generate recursive structures by a computational mechanism. On this view, all other properties of language must result from the interaction at the interfaces of that mechanism and other mental systems not exclusively devoted to language. Since language could then be described as the simplest recursive system satisfying the requirements of the interfaces, one can speak of the Minimalist Equation: Interfaces + Recursion = Language. The question whether all the richness of language can be reduced to that minimalist equation has already inspired several fruitful lines of research that led to important new results. While a full assessment of the minimalist equation will require evidence from many different areas of inquiry, this volume focuses especially on the perspective of syntax and semantics. Within the minimalist architecture, this places our concern with the core computational mechanism and the (LF-)interface where recursive structures are fed to interpretation. Specific questions that the papers address are: What kind of recursive structures can the core generator form? How can we determine what the simplest recursive system is? How can properties of language that used to be ascribed to the recursive generator be reduced to interface properties? What effects do syntactic operations have on semantic interpretation? To what extent do models of semantic interpretation support the LF-interface conditions postulated by minimalist syntax?
Book Recursion and Human Language Description/Summary:
In this volume, the issue of recursion is tackled from a variety of angles. Some articles cover formal issues regarding the proper characterization or definition of recursion, while others focus on empirical issues by examining the kinds of structure in languages that suggest recursive mechanism in the grammar. Most articles discuss syntactic phenomena, but several involve morphology, the lexicon and phonology. In addition, we find discussions that involve evolutionary notions and language disorders, and the broader cognitive context of recursion.
The Recursive Mind challenges the commonly held notion that language is what makes us uniquely human. In this compelling book, Michael Corballis argues that what distinguishes us in the animal kingdom is our capacity for recursion: the ability to embed our thoughts within other thoughts. "I think, therefore I am," is an example of recursive thought, because the thinker has inserted himself into his thought. Recursion enables us to conceive of our own minds and the minds of others. It also gives us the power of mental "time travel"--the ability to insert past experiences, or imagined future ones, into present consciousness. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, animal behavior, anthropology, and archaeology, Corballis demonstrates how these recursive structures led to the emergence of language and speech, which ultimately enabled us to share our thoughts, plan with others, and reshape our environment to better reflect our creative imaginations. He shows how the recursive mind was critical to survival in the harsh conditions of the Pleistocene epoch, and how it evolved to foster social cohesion. He traces how language itself adapted to recursive thinking, first through manual gestures, then later, with the emergence of Homo sapiens, vocally. Toolmaking and manufacture arose, and the application of recursive principles to these activities in turn led to the complexities of human civilization, the extinction of fellow large-brained hominins like the Neandertals, and our species' supremacy over the physical world. Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.
Book The Recursion Method and Its Applications Description/Summary:
This volume reviews recent advances in the development and application of the recursion method in computational solid state physics and elsewhere. It comprises the invited papers which were presented at a two-day conference at Imperial College, London during September 1984. The recursion method is based on the Lanczos algorithm for the tridiago nalisation of matrices, but it is much more than a straightforward numerical technique. It is widely regarded as the most elegant framework for a variety of calculations into which one may incorporate physical insights and a num ber of technical devices. The standard reference is Volume 35 of Solid State Physics, which contains all the early ideas of Heine, Haydock and others, upon which the method was established. The present volume provides the first review of subsequent developments. It also indicates where problems remain, or opinions differ, in the interpretation of the mathematical details or choice of practical techniques in applications. The field is still very li vely and much remains to be done, as the summary chapter clearly demonstra tes. We are grateful to the S. E. R. C. 's Collaborative Computational Project No. 9 on the electronic structure of solids and the Institute of Physics's Solid State Sub-committee for their sponsorship of the conference. We thank Angus MacKinnon for his help in conference organisation and Jacyntha Crawley for secretarial assistance. December 1984 David G. Pettifor Denis L. Weaire v Contents Part I Introduction Why Recur? By V.
This book provides a comprehensive account of the role of recursion in language in two distinct but interconnected ways. First, David J. Lobina examines how recursion applies at different levels within a full description of natural language. Specifically, he identifies and evaluates recursion as: a) a central property of the computational system underlying the faculty of language; b) a possible feature of the derivations yielded by this computational system; c) a global characteristic of the structures generated by the language faculty; and d) a probable factor in the parsing operations employed during the processing of recursive structures. Second, the volume orders these different levels into a tripartite explanatory framework. According to this framework, the investigation of any particular cognitive domain must begin by first outlining what sort of mechanical procedure underlies the relevant capacity (including what sort of structures it generates). Only then, the author argues, can we properly investigate its implementation, both at the level of abstract computations typical of competence-level analyses, and at the level of the real-time processing of behaviour.

New Yorkers Plan City’s First Dog Cafe
New York can finally boast its own cat cafe since Meow Parlour opened in December, and now it might be getting its own dog cafe as well.
According to Gothamist, two enterprising New Yorkers have started an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to start New York’s first dog cafe, where petless New Yorkers can sit and have a beverage and play with some puppies for a while. If they get off the ground, the relative stress levels of New York residents should plummet.
Fundraisers Maggie Chan and Mandy Chow are trying to raise $70,000 to start a dog cafe that would include a large, glass-walled play area for dogs, so the dogs could play and the restaurant could serve food and drinks without getting in trouble for having dogs running around. Customers could go inside and play with the dogs, too.
Chan and Chow say the plan is for all the dogs to be adoptable. Their goal is for the dog cafe to partner with local shelters so the dogs would come in every day to play at the dog cafe, where customers can watch and possibly participate. The dogs would not live at the cafe full-time.
So far the indiegogo campaign only has $786, but there is a whole month to go. The Meow Palace cat cafe reportedly raised $65,000 towards its opening.

God, it was good to be here on this beach, Jenny thought, to feel the wind on her skin and the heat of the sun and the coldness of the bottle of Prestige beer in her hand. She didn't even want to open her eyes in case it wasn't true, and she found herself back in the office. They both loved this island. It was their first time here but she knew it would be wonderful. The old town was so interesting with the quaint buildings and churches and marketplace.
She frowned briefly into her beach towel, remembering. They had gone to the market earlier, in the morning before the heat of the day. John wanted to see the fish catch brought in and they both had made the effort to get up early. It was fascinating, the reef fish spilled onto the rough wooden tables, restaurant owners and island housewives pushing and vying to buy the biggest and best. On the way back, however, winding their way through the alleys, she had looked down a crooked, dark lane and noticed an old woman swinging a machete, lopping the heads off chickens that hung from a wooden beam. The strung up fowl flapped and struggled after being beheaded, and bright red blood splattered and sprayed on the cobbles. It was a third world market. People did things differently here than they did back home, but the sight had left her disturbed. The callousness of the old woman, the careless way she cut the heads from the birds and ignored their death throes, and that look in the crone's eyes when she glanced up and saw her watching...
A dark skinned waiter was moving around through the beach chairs taking orders for drinks and she waved him over to ask for two more bottles of the frosty cold beer. Drinking in the afternoon was such a sinful thing to do but they were on vacation, and she needed to decompress from the city left far behind.
"Okay dear?" John asked.
They knew each other well enough that a shorthand form of speech usually was sufficient for communication between them. What he really was asking was if she was content to sunbathe the afternoon away, or was she ready to go back to their room and shower.
"Of course, John."
Her husband took a long pull on the beer and relaxed back into the towel covered beach chair. With his Bulgari sunglasses and board shorts he looked about as comfortable as a man could get on a beach crawling with gorgeous young women in tiny bathing suits. Well, most of them had bathing suits. That German girl they met on the plane evidently had decided that the top part of her bikini was superfluous.
They had been so lucky when checking in. The reservations were lost and the hotel people had to scramble to find them a room. The only thing available was a beachside bungalow, which they had been given. It was lovely with two queen size beds, a stocked bar, and a clear view down the beach to the ocean. It was also very private, surrounded by flowering hibiscus shrubs. The black waiter arrived back with their drinks and she looked through her bag for tip money. Oddly he seemed more interested in her than the US five dollar bill she dropped on his tray. He appeared almost startled by the money and turned quickly away. After another hour in the hot sun Jenny was starting to crave a cold shower. Apparently John had enough of ogling the other women so they wandered up to the hotel room together.
After long showers they both felt refreshed and decided to go out to a good restaurant. Jenny slipped into a slinky red dress and added a rope of pearls while John pulled on a new polo shirt and white tropical pants. The Cafe des Artistes was interesting and crowded and spilled wonderful smells of cooking seafood onto the street. As they were sitting down inside, however, a girl at the next table jumped up excitedly and pointed at Jenny. She was saying the same words over and over: "C'est Erzulie de loa. C'est Erzulie de loa."
A small crowd of diners gathered and there was much excited talking and gesticulating before the manager came and shooed them away. He apologized profusely for the disturbance. John, however, wanted to know what the girl had been saying.
"Erzulie, it is the name of the Goddess," the manager said with some difficulty, "she thinks you are the loa Erzulie."
"Erzulie?" asked Jenny.
"Yes the Erzulie Freda."
"What is that?"
"The Erzulie Freda is a Goddess of love in the Vodou, Madam, a powerful and aggressive Goddess for these people, and they believe she often takes the form of a wealthy white woman."
"But why do they think its me?"
"I cannot say Madam. She is usually pictured wearing a red dress... like the one you wear."
"And Madam? She wears the three rings as do you."
The manager bustled off and the restaurant returned to normal, or a semblance of normal, because Jenny could feel eyes on her now, people glancing over to their table a bit too often, stares from across the room and from outside on the street where people lingered yet, looking in through the open windows at her. John took her hand in his and examined it. She did wear three rings, her wedding ring, an beautiful antique emerald dinner ring that her mother had passed on to her, and a square cut ruby ring in platinum that she had bought for herself last year when she got that raise. She always wore them. But many people wore more than one ring. It was silly.
After dinner they walked home through the warm tropical night. Surprisingly many people were on the streets. As they neared the hotel they noticed the sound of rada drums, a driving island rhythm. On the beach in front of the hotel something was going on, black island girls in exotic and colorful costumes, some of them very erotic, were dancing is the light of a driftwood bonfire. Guests were watching, bright eyed and excited by the show, swaying with the hypnotic pounding of the drums. John led her down the beach to join the other guests. He seemed quite taken with the dancers, especially one dressed in a particularly provocative costume, frilly and bright and showing glimpses of her naked breasts. The girl was pretty in an overblown way, her eyes dark and smoldering, full red lips, good legs. She had one of those faces that would look homely in the harsh light of the day, but at night, in the flickering firelight, manifested a sensual beauty that was captivating, verging on the sublime. The girl moved to the drums. More. She was the drums, floating in a world of her own. The other dancers danced but she was the music, the wild and miasmatic island beat, her arms allure, her legs enticement, her movements pure sex.
Jenny could feel the heat from where she stood. She shot a sideways glance at her husband and could see he was mesmerized by the dark siren. She pushed him gently and he turned, startled, as if from a dream to look at her and she smiled, an intimate smile full of knowing. The drums meanwhile changed their meter, drawing their attention back to the performers. The girl was gone.
They watched a while longer but somehow the magic was gone with her, that strange enchantment of island drums and exotic beauty had lifted. Suddenly it seemed late and the bungalow seemed like a good place to be. They were waiting inside. As John came in he was grabbed by two of them, large men, black, and she was taken also as she turned to run. John was dragged to a chair and held down while his mouth was wrapped in tape, effectively silencing him. Her mouth was wrapped in tape in a similar fashion but she was carried to the bed and laid on it by several big black men. Jenny struggled, but they held her down. They worked her tight dress up over her hips, roughly pulling it off leaving her naked except for a black thong. The men were all around her, their hands on her, her arms and her legs, holding her spread-eagled on the bed. Then the girl came out of the shadows of the room, the dancer from the show. She came to the bed and looked down on Jenny for a long moment, then nodded to the men and said something to one of them in curt tones. He left the room. She looked once more at Jenny's face and began to take off her costume, slipping the frilly dress over her head and tossing it in a corner of the room. She was naked underneath, naked and black with high breasts, a virginal belly and a full round ass.
The man came back bringing a basket and a long knife and set them on the floor beside the girl. She bent down and came up holding something in each of her hands, a live and flapping chicken in one, the knife in the other. Without pausing she lifted the bird high over Jenny and cut its head off. The chicken flapped madly, crimson blood spraying from its neck, and she held the bird against Jenny's belly. The bird bled out quickly and the black girl sliced once more at it before laying the dead bird on the sheets beside Jenny. She began to mutter, unintelligible words in the Haitian patois. She was holding something in her hand and as she leaned over the bed Jenny could see it was a severed chicken foot, yellow and scaly. The girl continued to mutter in a low voice, her eyes wide in an unfocused stare. She dipped the chicken foot in the blood pooled on Jenny's belly, then carefully drew a symbol on her naked outstretched form, a heart shape outlined around her breasts with a bisecting line that extended from her forehead down to her pubic hair.
"Sortie Erzulie, présentez-moi."
The black girl was chanting, leaning over Jenny, her eyes glazed, calling on that name over and over. Her voice was rising and becoming more imperative, more demanding, and strangely hypnotic. Jenny felt herself slipping from terror into...a feeling of disassociation, like she was floating, watching herself and the people in the room from a position above them. She still felt frightened, but that fear that was buried beneath something, something that was at odds with the situation, seemingly focused on the chanting siren. She saw herself lying on the bed, white, naked, that strange design painted in blood on her helpless body, the half naked black men hunched over her, holding her arms and legs outstretched, the girl working over her, chanting. It was so erotic, so wild. She felt like she was someone else, someone who had been trapped for centuries with all her desires and needs building inside her, waiting for this day, this moment of release... and in an instant she was inundated by lust, her spirit pulled back into her body as an orgasm swept unstoppable through her! Not just one but waves of orgasms, rolling over her, dragging her under and under again leaving her gasping for breath.
The black girl closed her eyes and moved with her, jerking as each orgasm hit and swaying as each spasm passed through her. She moaned loudly and the men in the room moaned with her, their eyes wild and showing white in the semi-darkness of the room. She reached for the nearest man and pushed him against the wall, pulling at his shorts. He was already erect, and as soon as his manhood was freed she pushed onto him, climbing him. The rest of the men left Jenny then, and crowded around the girl. Their hands were on her, caressing, fondling. One by one the frantic dancer took each man, rode him wildly, insatiable. None of them lasted long. There was something pervasive driving them on, something compelling and unstoppable... lust was unchained in the room, unleashed on their willing bodies. Jenny pushed back against the headboard but could not take her eyes off the sight before her, staring, still short of breath from the series of orgasms that had ripped through her. The black dancer moaned loudly and shook and her hips jerked convulsively as she rode the last man down to the floor. There she rose and fell on him, that full ass quivering as she moved on him, taking him recklessly, ruthlessly, on the floor in front of John, Jenny's John, who was as caught up as anyone in the encompassing lust that engulfed the room. John, who had his dick out and was furiously jerking himself off in the chair, staring intently at the scene before him.
Then, it was over, the powerful presence was gone, and like men waking from a collective dream, the men shook their heads and looked around. They found and pulled on their shorts and they left. The girl took longer, looking stunned. She rose from the floor shakily, struggled into her dress and stumbled out into the night. Jenny jumped then as arms went around her but it was John, lifting her from the bed and carrying her into the shower. He scrubbed her down under steaming hot water, rinsing the blood from her, and buffing her dry with thick towels. He didn't say a word. Nor did she. The events of the night were too fresh, too stupefying for words. He laid her in the other bed, the one not stained with blood, and slipped in beside her, moving very slowly, caught with her in a terrible torpidity, an aftereffect, no doubt, of the visitation of the goddess Erzulie. Set kout kouto, set kout pwenyad, Prete m dedin a, pou m vomi san mwen, Prete m dedin a, pou m vomi san mwen, San mwen ape koule.

“The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.”- Woodrow Wilson. Thomas Woodrow Wilson was an American statesman and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. He also led America through World War I. Wilson made the Fourteen Points which was statement of principles that was use for peace negotiations to end the World War I. There are several points that were obtained as a result of American participation in WWI.
The First World War (WW1) was one of the most destructive and adverse wars in contemporary reality. Approximately, ten million soldiers lost their lives because of hostilities. In January 1918, ten months ago the conclusion of war, the President of the United States of America Woodrow Wilson had prepared a list of proposed war aims, which he characterized them as the “Fourteen Points”. Nonetheless, eight of these points wrote off, especially the points, which included territorial and political solutions, accompanying with the dominance of the Entente Powers, bearing in mind the idea of national self-determination for ethnic peoples in Europe. The convention had constituted basic and foundational part for the establishment of the League of Nations, a foremost target of Woodrow Wilson.
In fact, the points were used to establish negotiations after the war ended. Originally, Wilson had tried to keep America out of the war, but Germany’s actions in the sea called for intervention. The war influenced Wilson’s ideas of peace, because by declaring war on Germany,
On January 8, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson proposed the idea of fourteen points. These fourteen points were suggested to aid the nations in creating a more peaceful relationship amongst them. As World War one took its tolls on nations all over the world Woodrow Wilson decided that something needed to be done to put an end to the bloody war, so he suggested his fourteen points that would hopefully end the war and even after the war continue to maintain peace and positive relations between countries. A few of Wilson 's points were not obtained, but a few were brought into effect, and these few points that were passed have helped to advocate peace. During the war every action was being taken to ensure the victory, for example, Germany
The committee of five had five respected men that represented a state. This committee drafted the Declaration of Independence and the key person that drafted the Declaration was Thomas Jefferson. He later became the third president of the U.S. and with this he strived to better the nation’s shipping and trade. One of the things that Jefferson did but was not the best decision was to reduce the army. Jefferson thought that by reducing the standing army and that in turn it would increase the government.
War Message Try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes that could risk the lives of millions. On April 2, in 1917, Woodrow Wilson delivered his speech, “War Message.” Woodrow Wilson delivered this speech four days before he made a life changing decision to enter into WWI. Woodrow Wilson urged for neutrality, but the United States was preparing for their involvement in the war by strengthening the Navy. Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States during this moment of major decision making. Woodrow Wilson’s speech, “War Message” was important because diplomatic relations with Germany were severed and war was about to break out.
President Woodrow Wilson established America’s goal for joining World War I as “making the world safe for democracy.” At the conclusion of the War, President Wilson declared fourteen principles for peace to be used during the Paris Peace Conference, called the Fourteen Points. The most important of these points was the final point: a general association of nations with the guarantees of political and territorial independence and security. As the Peace Conference progressed, more nations ratified the Treaty of Versailles and joined the League of Nations, the embodiment of President Wilson’s fourteenth point. However, Senate the United States, from President Wilson’s own country, did not ratify the treaty. President Wilson also believed that “An overwhelming majority of the American people is in favor of the League of Nations.” The American public also had an influence, albeit a minor one, on the
Once the war was finally over Woodrow Wilson had to make great compromises during the Treaty of Versailles. his original 14 points shrunk into 3 goals. these goals were to defend the United States and its territories, stop European intervention in the Western Hemisphere, and preserve China's Nation. With most of the European powers being extremely worn out from the war these goals were not very hard to ensure and because the US did not have to dedicate as many resources or manpower as its European allies it was easier for us to set the rules and make sure they were followed. After The first World War America return to its independent ideals, we turned back to an isolationist policy and we denied ourselves entry into the League of Nations so

Not sure why and not sure how we wound up in a handicap room when we booked the room months in advanced. Upon entering the room and turning on the bathroom light a bug came out of the shadows and scampered away. Room was clean somewhat, but the bathroom was dirty.
The handicap room was next to the elevator and every time the elevator stopped on the floor the bell would go off. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I won something.
The bed was torturous. We both have healthy backs, but waking up with back pain was not something I wanted to experience on vacation.
Location was great, staff was friendly, but we could not wait to check out.

New York City has begun yet another consumer health advocacy program, much to the chagrin of many locals. This time, they’re targeting sodium-rich foods offered at popular restaurants, by marking each item with an ominous saltshaker symbol.
According to Business Insider, the new policy was recently approved by the NYC Board of Health and took effect on Dec. 1. It will force local eateries to insert a black saltshaker emblem next to menu items that are high in sodium, and many restaurant owners feel as if this is another example of the state government meddling in their business.
The policy will require certain establishments to add the saltshaker symbol to any menu item that exceeds the recommended daily limit of 2,300 milligrams of sodium. For the sake of comparison, a New York Cheddar and Bacon Burger from T.G.I. Friday’s weighs in at 4,280 mg of sodium. Currently, the average American consumes about 3,400 mg of salt per day.
Proponents of the new sodium policy note that experts have long said that Americans consume too much salt, which can increase the risk of high blood pressure and serious heart conditions.
“With the high sodium warning label, New Yorkers will have easily accessible information that can affect their health,” said NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett.
However, opponents of the policy argue that the city is unfairly singling out one ingredient to support their own agenda. Restaurateurs account for most of the opposition, stating that the new regulations will only make it harder for them to stay afloat.
“Every one of these cumbersome new laws makes it tougher and tougher for restaurants to find success,” said NYS Restaurant Association President Melissa Fleischut.
Signs like the saltshaker symbol have a substantial impact on the buying decisions of consumers, which makes such policies an issue for restaurant owners. While about 35% of people passing by wouldn’t even know a business existed without a sign, that same percentage is likely to walk out of a restaurant if its menu is filled with health warnings.
According to CNN, this is not the NYC Board of Health’s first venture into consumer health regulations. The city lost a highly-publicized appeal case in 2014 after a proposal to ban large sugary drinks was blocked by lower courts.
As for the sodium warnings, the policy will apply to chains in NYC with at least 15 outlets throughout the country. In total, it affects about 10% of all menu items offered by these restaurants.
Though the policy officially goes into effect on Dec. 1, the city said they will not start collecting fines until March 1 for those who choose not to add the warnings on their menu.

TUI Cruises has entrusted the Italian shipyard with the delivery of two GT 161k-big cruise ships, both of which will be powered by liquefied natural gas.
The new units, based on a prototype project developed by Fincantieri, will be built at the company's shipyard in Monfalcone. The sister ships are scheduled for delivery in 2024 and 2026, respectively, and will join TUI Cruises' Mein Schiff fleet.
"With the new class of ships we are responding to the wishes of our guests and creating offerings that will also inspire new cruise passengers. As with the other ships in the fleet, the passenger/space ratio remains generous. The decision to run the two additional low-emission new builds is a logical continuation of our environmental strategy," Wybcke Meier, CEO, TUI Cruises, said.
Giuseppe Bono, CEO, Fincantieri, also commented, "These will be the largest ships ever built in Italy: we proved once more we can provide the market with the best mix of reliability and innovation, pillars of Made in Italy and distinguishing features of Fincantieri in the global shipbuilding landscape."


Dominion Virginia Power’s Warren County Power Station has been recognized as the Project of the Year at the Power-Gen International tradeshow and conference in Las Vegas. The project was designed and built by Warren County Energy Partners, a joint venture of Burns & McDonnell and Zachry Group.
The 1,346-megawatt (MW) Warren County Power Station also was named the Best Natural Gas-Fired Project at Power-Gen. Engineering design began in 2011 and the plant went into service in December 2014. Located near Front Royal, Virginia, the combined cycle power facility features a 3-on-1 configuration with Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas 501GAC combustion turbines, a 573-MW TC4F steam turbine and Alstom heat recovery steam generators. The plant uses a thermal energy storage system and chillers from DN Tanks and Turbine Air Systems to reduce water use, store energy and reduce its parasitic power load during peak demand. The system helps increase power output by about 130 MW on a 92-degree day.
“Burns & McDonnell is proud to have played a role in delivering one of the cleanest and most efficient power generating plants in the country,’ said Rick Halil, senior vice president and general manager of Burns & McDonnell’s Energy group. “We congratulate Dominion for this well-deserved award for a generating asset that will be a crucial part of their portfolio for many years to come.”
The plant is a key part of Dominion’s generation resource portfolio in helping it meet a projected demand for 5,600 MW of new generation in its service area by 2019.

A Month in Review- April 2014Submitted by Guidant Planning on May 23rd, 2014
The rotation out of momentum stocks that began in early March continued in April, hitting many of the tech and biotech high-fliers that had soared earlier in the year. That cost the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 dearly, leaving both with negative year-to-date returns. The Russell ended the month down 6.7% from its early March year-to-date high, while the Nasdaq slumped 5.6% over the same period. However, valuation concerns didn’t affect equities across the board. After setting a fresh closing high early in the month, the S&P 500 managed to hang on to its gains, emerging from April the clear year-to-date leader.
Meanwhile, the Dow managed to squeak into positive territory for 2014 on the month’s final trading day by surpassing the all-time high it had not seen since New Year’s Eve. The Global Dow survived April’s volatility relatively well, especially considering geopolitical tensions over Ukraine. Meanwhile, the rotation in equities, a steady hand at the Fed, and little inflation in sight helped keep thebenchmark 10-year Treasury yield low. The price of gold backed off after a $43-an-ounce mid-month spike to end April just below $1,300 an ounce, while the price of oil hovered within a dollar or two on either side of $100 a barrel.
Chart reflects price changes, not total return. Because it does not include dividends or splits, it should not be used to benchmark performance of specific investments.
The Month in Review
• Economic growth stalled during the first quarter, falling from 2.9% in Q4 2013 to the current 0.1%. The initial estimate will be subject to two revisions over the next two months. The Bureau of Economic Analysis attributed much of the decline to lower exports, less spending by businesses on fixed investments and inventory, and reduced spending by local and state governments.
• The U.S. economy created 192,000 new jobs in March, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its previous estimates for January and February upward. However, that did little to help the unemployment rate; because more people sought work, the unemployment rate remained stuck at 6.7%.
• Consumers emerged from hibernation, sending retail sales up 1.1% during the month. However, a 0.2% increase in the consumer inflation rate could have been responsible for a portion of the higher spending (retail sales aren’t adjusted for price increases). The Bureau of Labor Statistics said higher costs for food and shelter were responsible for much of the month’s increase in the Consumer Price Index, which put the inflation rate for the last 12 months at 1.5%. Meanwhile, wholesale prices, especially those for services, jumped 0.5% during the month.
• Manufacturing data was generally positive. Orders for big-ticket items were up 2.6%, and according to the Commerce Department, some of the biggest increases were in computers, electronics, and communications equipment. Industrial production also rose 0.7%, particularly in the mining and utilities sectors.
• Spring brought few signs of improvement in the housing market. The Commerce Department’s April release said new home sales plunged 14.5%, while the National Association of Realtors® said sales of existing homes were down by only 0.2%. Housing starts were up almost 3% from February, but down 6% from a year earlier. Home prices in the 20 cities tracked by the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Index were basically flat for the month, and year-over-year gains were less robust than in previous months.
• As expected, the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy committee once again cut its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, leaving them at $45 billion a month. The Fed also reiterated its intention to keep its target interest rate at its current level well after bond purchases end.
• The Chinese economy showed signs of slowing; the country’s National Bureau of Statistics said the 7.4% growth over the last 12 months was slightly less than the previous quarter’s 7.7%, and below the official 7.5% target rate. Also, exports were down 6.6% in March, while imports fell more than 11%.
• The European Central Bank kept its key interest rate unchanged at 0.25% despite a 0.5% inflation rate that raised concerns about the possibility of deflation there.
Eye on the Month Ahead
Investors will have to assess whether the recent slump in equities is a case of “sell in May, go away” coming early and whether recent selling has worked off concerns about overvaluation. European Union parliamentary elections on May 22-25 will be watched for signs of increasing anti-EU sentiment that could jeopardize support for the financial system there. The Fed’s monetary policy committee will take a break in May, leaving investors to focus on economic data, earnings, and geopolitical considerations.

McConnell campaign questions Grimes' attendance record as secretary of state in new ad
09/30/2014 01:07 PM
Kentucky U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s campaign is hammering his Democratic opponent for skipping work as secretary of state in a new television ad released Tuesday.
The spot, titled “Absences,” is scheduled to air statewide and further ingrains a common theme for McConnell by linking Alison Lundergan Grimes with Democratic President Barack Obama, a highly unpopular figure in Kentucky.
The ad features video of Grimes telling The Courier-Journal’s editorial board in 2011 that she would serve her four-year term if elected secretary of state.
“Sound familiar?” a narrator asks.
The ad then switches to a clip of Obama on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in January 2006, when he said he would serve his full six-year term in the Senate.
“But Obama and Grimes both broke their promises in order to campaign for higher office,” the narrator says.
The ad can be seen here:
McConnell’s spot also takes Grimes to task for collecting her $117,000 salary as secretary of state while showing an empty parking space, allegedly Grimes’, at the state Capitol.
Grimes’ campaign has questioned McConnell’s lack of attendance at Senate agriculture committee meetings, releasing multiple ads on the topic.
The television ad comes the same day video surfaced of a reporter with The Lexington Herald-Leader asking Grimes about her attendance record as secretary of state while she campaigns for the U.S. Senate.
“I’m doing my job as secretary of state,” Grimes said in the video.
The exchange, posted to the conservative super PAC America Rising, can be seen here:
Grimes’ campaign “will gladly stack McConnell’s shameful record of skipping work against Alison’s record of standing up for Kentuckians any day,” spokeswoman Charly Norton said in a statement.
“Unlike Mitch McConnell who has missed 93 percent of Senate committee meetings, Alison Lundergan Grimes has never missed a Board of Elections meeting as Secretary of State,” Norton said. “It’s clear that McConnell remains desperate as he tries to distract voters from the fact that he’s been absent on issues important to Kentucky.”

Vanall’s Plant Hire impressed with its Kamaz 6x6 fleet
Published: 08 October 2018
An invitation to visit the Bell Equipment stand at the 2018 bauma CONEXPO Africa exhibition so impressed the owner of a Witbank-based plant hire company by what he saw of the new range of Kamaz rigid tipper trucks, that he now owns four of these trucks, with more to come.
Vanall’s Plant Hire has been operating in Mpumalanga and further afield since 1987 when the founders, Brian Marshall and Movie van der Merwe, who were working for a large alloys company, could not find suitable plant to hire for an expansion project and decided to fill that gap themselves. When Brian’s son, John, finished school in 1993 he came into the business after buying out founding partner Van der Merwe.
“When I joined the business, we changed our focus from civil construction to bulk material handling,” says John, who is now the Managing Member of Vanall’s Plant Hire CC. “This saw us rapidly gaining experience in supplying load and haul teams for crushing plants, moving bulk materials such as tailings and slag and doing rehabilitation on discard dumps.”
The company serves clients in Mpumalanga’s metal alloys and coal mining industries and has expanded its services to industrial and mining clients in Rustenburg, Steelpoort, Cato Ridge and Vanderbijlpark. It employs almost 150 people of whom most are machine operators and truck drivers.
“We recently landed a contract to move metal slag on an alloys plant where we had deployed a fleet of nine 10-cubic metre tipper trucks,” John explains. “We were keen to see how the Kamaz 65222 with its 12-cubic metre capacity and 6x6 traction compared to our existing fleet in terms of performance and fuel consumption.”
“We have been very impressed by the Kamaz 65222 truck with its 400Hp V8 engine and despite its formidable engine size, it’s surprisingly light on fuel, consuming around 12 litres an hour compared to 10 litres for the smaller 10-cubic metre tippers,” John continues. “The interaxial locking capability of the Kamaz 65222 makes it a very strong truck and this is evident in the ease with which it tackles inclines with full loads.”
Even though Vanall’s Plant Hire generally works on dry rates, they have a cap on fuel consumption and therefore fuel burn figures are kept meticulously.
A comparison on a mining site showed the Kamaz 65222 outperforming larger articulated dump trucks with faster cycles. John sees the cheaper road licence compared to that of a road-legal articulated dump truck as a real advantage. After viewing the comparative results from both the sites over a period of two weeks positive results prompted John to order two more Kamaz 65222 trucks.
“We’ve been happy to keep our Kamaz trucks in their standard yellow livery as this adds to their visibility,” he says. “In terms of our clients’ safety regulations we’ve added fire extinguishers, rear light protectors, isolation lock-outs and bin-up indicators. Depending on applications, we may with future models consider rock bins with slanted tailgates.”
“Another important point I’d like to add is that when working on the slag dump, where we move quenched slag onto a slag dump, the single wheels on the Kamaz 65222’s rear axles have proved a success as slag shards cannot get stuck between two tyres running close to each other as in other trucks with double rear wheels,” John adds. “The slag is often still hot and jagged edges cause sidewall cuts in the tyres which, as you may appreciate, are expensive to replace.”
Slag is a heavy and abrasive material with specific gravities ranging between 3,2 and 3,8 - the latter when loading slag fines. The performance of the Kamaz 65222 trucks under these loads has impressed both Vanall’s Plant Hire and its clients. John is already considering a fleet of Kamaz 6520 6x4 trucks that have a similar load capacity of 12-cubic metres to possibly replace sub-contractor vehicles.

New Street welcomes community back to Spring Fling
SHEPHERDSTOWN — The members of New Street United Methodist Church took an additional step toward normalcy by hosting a Spring Fling on Saturday. The event, normally held every other year, consists of an open sale of goods of all kinds as well as lunch, plants and more.
Although the Spring Fling was scheduled for 2020, it had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
“We have also scheduled a Mother/Daughter Tea event,” said Pastor DeeAnn Dixon. “We hope to make that the event that alternates with the Spring Fling.”
At Saturday’s event, attendees were required to wear masks when entering the church. Once inside, they could peruse items that were organized in various locations within the building. Those seeking furniture found a room filled with items, while across the hall in the sanctuary, book lovers and lovers of art could peruse and choose from a variety of items.
Baked goods were displayed inside the entryway, while the sidewalk leading up to the church entrance had plants of all sorts available for those with a green thumb.
Parishioner Andy White, who was helping to man the book and art offerings, said the items for the event were mainly solicited via word-of-mouth.
“Collecting items is really an all-year process,” Dixon said.
According to Dixon, approximately 20 volunteers were onsite Saturday, to assist customers.
“There is a lot of prep work behind the scenes,” Dixon said, mentioning many more than those who were on-hand Saturday helped make the event a success.
According to Dixon, funds raised from the event will go toward renovating the church’s kitchen and social hall.
“We do so many events there,” Dixon said, adding that the church regularly holds spaghetti dinners there, along with its annual Peach Festival, which sees the kitchen area used extensively.
“We want to update the area and make the space useable in the best way possible,” Dixon said.
Members of the church have been meeting regularly in person for Sunday services, Dixon said, adding that the Spring Fling is the first event that has been held indoors since the pandemic.
“We were able to have our Peach Festival last year,” Dixon said, but added that it was held outdoors rather than inside.
Dixon went on to note that while the church’s services are offered in-person, there is also an online option available for those not yet ready to return.
“We will continue the online presence,” Dixon said. “It has definitely increased our attendance.”

Named after Donald McLeod, Lieutenant-Governor of Punjab, McLeodganj began life in the 1850s as a civilian settlement outside the British garrison of Dharamshala. It was devastated by the 1905 Kangra earthquake and sank into obscurity after Independence – until the Dalai Lama arrived to establish his base here in 1960. Since then, McLeod has become a vibrant centre of Tibetan culture and Buddhism. With an interesting mix of travellers, volunteers, maroon-robed monks and nuns, the international dharma crowd and an increasing flow of Indian tourists, you are never far from an interesting conversation here.
After moving to Delhi I got busy with a lot of things – settling down in a new place, wedding in the family, hunt for a new job, and finally a broken leg. So having finally done all of this, I decided to take a road trip to a hill station nearby. Memories of my last hill station visit to Ooty was still fresh in my mind and I was hoping to visit more hill stations. Hence Mcleodganj happened. We were there for a 3 nights – and had the most amazing time.
It is where India meets Tibet – Lonely Planet
Travel: We drove from Delhi (Gurgaon to be precise). Mcleodganj is over 500km from Delhi, and the last 70km towards from Dharamshala to Mcleodganj is hilly terrain with steep bends. After our Ooty trip we thought we were pros at handling hair pin bends, but the journey to Mcleodganj was a wake up call. The roads from Dharamshala to Mcleodganj are narrow and steep. So if you are planning on driving to Mcleodganj – start early and ensure that you arrive well before sunset.
Resort/Stay: The only resort in Mcleodganj is Fortune Park Moksha that costs 10 grands/night. So we decided to not splurge and stay at D’s Casa (D’s Castle or The Castle) on Club House Road. Small but comfortable property with 13 rooms – all airconditioned. The rooms were clean and had a small balcony looking into either the valley or the hills. I recommend booking Room No. 8… it has a nice view.
Activities: We dedicated one day to sight seeing local market, St. John’s Church, Dal Lake, Naddi View point and Dalai Lama Temple. We rented an auto that took us around. The next day we went to Bhagsunag Waterfall. The place is just 2km away from the main square. But the autos and taxis would refuse to take you there because of the sheer traffic congestion. I recommend packing some water and hiking to the place. The cafe at the top of the waterfall (a steep trek of 500m) is worth a visit. The most hyped activity when you are in Mcleodganj is the Triund trek that is some 9km one way. Unfortunately, I could not take up a walk so intense while I am still recovering from my broken foot. Paragliding and cycling at Dharamshala are other major attractions.
The trip to Mcleodganj was a serene and beautiful experience. Especially after all the changes that have happened in my life in the last 8 months, this was a welcome experience. It felt normal again to be able to do something that had become a routine. I hope to be able to blog more soon.

The Clippers tried to temper their excitement after Game 4, knowing that Game 5 is the next big challenge.
The Clippers rallied from a 22-point deficit in the first quarter and a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to pull out a 101-99 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday afternoon at Staples Center to tie the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal playoff series at 2-2.
With Game 5 on Tuesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Chris Paul suggested that the Clippers can't carry the momentum from Sunday's stirring victory with them.
"At the end of the day, we're going to start the game 0-0," Paul said after scoring 23 points and handing out 10 assists. "We're going to their place. I think we got to bring that same energy and mind-set, not the one we started off with. We just have to understand that sometimes you just have to impose your will, just play hard."
The Clippers did win Game 1 in Oklahoma City before losing Game 2 there and Game 3 at Staples Center on Friday night.
Now it's a best-of-three series.
The Clippers will host Game 6 at Staples Center on Thursday night.
If a Game 7 is necessary, it'll be in Oklahoma City on Sunday.
"The way we look at it, we're 2-2," Thunder Coach Scott Brooks said after Sunday's game. "We have two games at home. It's the best-of-three series with two games at home.

Since 2015 FEA has been putting out unapologetic music true to the spirit of Punk. A natural extension of the tradition of rock bands that touch your most innate feelings. With catchy melodies, powerful riffs, interesting vocals over a pure energy rhythms. This quartet has taken their music to the next level with the release of the album "No Novelties". Produced by Punk legend Alice Bag (the bags) in the amazing Sonic Ranch studio, "No Novelties" is a punch in the face of misogynistic critics of all female bands. Much in the vain the GO-GO's were in the 80's. Their sound is new and fresh , no wonder they got picked up by Blackheart, Joan Jett's record label. I really recommend listening to their exclusive performance in Queer Riot 2020.

UPDATE: USS Iwo Jima and USS New York Ordered to Get Underway
From U.S. Fleet Forces Command Public Affairs
Update published on Oct. 7, 2017
Originally published on Oct. 6, 2017
Editor's Note: The departure of USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) from Naval Station Mayport is delayed due to a mechanical issue with the ship's propulsion system. The disaster assistance equipment, assets, and personnel assigned to the ship will be re-located to be in best position to provide assistance, as required. USS New York (LPD 21) remains scheduled to depart Mayport, Florida, Oct. 7, and will proceed to the Gulf of Mexico.
Both ships are directed to be in position to support the gulf coast region in the event assistance is needed following Tropical Storm Nate, which is currently projected to strengthen into a hurricane before making landfall.
Once employed, our Navy and Marine Corps team has capabilities that will be uniquely effective in disaster relief efforts. To support these capabilities, the combined aircraft on the two ships are three U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E Marine Heavy Lift Helicopters, six Navy MH-60S and four MH-60R Medium Lift Helicopters.
These ships are capable of providing medical support, maritime civil affairs, maritime security, expeditionary logistic support, medium and heavy lift air support, and bring a diverse skills including assessment and security.
USS Iwo Jima and USS New York steamed to the Florida Keys in early September to provide immediate assistance in the wake of Hurricane Irma. While on Station, Sailors and Marines worked along the Lower Keys, from Marathon to Key West, clearing debris from the roadway, distributing food, water, tarps and blankets, and repairing generators and other critical infrastructure, such as water-pumping stations. The ships returned to Mayport on September 19.
If called upon, the top priority of the federal government, while working together to support civil authorities, will be to minimize suffering and protect the lives and safety of any affected.
