"You get the same quality of healthcare here as in the hospital,” Dr Mapue said. True. But Health Cube seems to treat their customers better. After all, in a hospital, I’ve never seen half the number of smiles I saw in Health Cube. It’s nice to see customer service and quality healthcare in just one place.Stef Dela Cruz
The first thing I remembered was I was in a mall and the next thing was I saw myself walking to Health Cube. After a few seconds after I stepped in, I knew where we had to ask and right then we were assisted. I only thought to myself: "If I only had remembered clinics to do this, I might not have waited for years to get my check-up again." This is the first clinic I've ever heard of to automatically email me results of my exam after 24 hours of taking them. Talk about Clinics 2.0 taking advantage of technology. All i can say is clinic visits have never been this pleasant, convenient and smart. I can only call the team of Health Cube friends and never staff. Talk about client experience -- they did it exceptionally well. Everything was a pleasant experience! Thank you so much HealthCube!Ann Luyun

Hybrid Electric Vehicle has become one of the most promising vehicles in the automobile industry due to its energy saving ability and low emission of harmful pollutants. Plugging is used for instantaneous braking or quick reversal of the vehicle. This paper proposes a novel approach for design and fabrication of micro controller based plugging braking technique used in ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) / HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV). To realise this technique, an embedded systems programming is developed using KEIL and PROTEUS softwares. The status of the vehicle motion is indicated by means of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Light Emitting Diode (LED). The simulation and experimental results ensure the feasibility and advantages of the new approach.

Drinking water purification:
The process of eliminating unwelcome Compounds , gases, suspended particles, and biological contaminants from water can be called drinking water purification. It modifies impure drinking water into the essential form for a particular intent. Primarily water is purified for human consumption, however water purification is also done for industrial and healthcare purposes. Sedimentation, filtration, and purification will be the various processes involved with the elimination approach. It isn’t possible to judge if water is pure or not having naked eyes. Water includes many harmful compounds which can be disposed by the businesses and produce h2o contaminate. waterdrop filter review water and also help it become available for drinking.
Reverse Osmosis is a process of Water filtration which employs a high-pressure hose that raises the pressure from the salt of the RO membrane. It compels water across the semi permeable RO membrane. It does not permit the dissolved salt to pass it. The amount of strain depends upon the salt concentration of drinking h2o. A reverse osmosis technique can filter 90% of fluorides dissolved in plain water. The filtered drinking water is ready and safe for the drinking. The rejected stream is either drained out or fed back into the supply stream for repurification. Waterdrop filters use the inverse osmosis process for filtration.
An Waterfilter purifies water from Lowering the contamination of their water. It employs a physical obstacle or even a chemical procedure or perhaps a biological method to carry out the filtration. Purifiers create water all set for many purposes like irrigation, drinking, business, etc.. The filters use the reverse osmosis method to purify water effortlessly. It consists of a tank to put away filtered drinking water and can be used at the future. Any particle larger than 0.0001 μm filters outside via this multi-stage purification method. Reverse-osmosis system is most appropriate to normal water.

Part of a series of articles titled Wildlife in the Badlands.
Long-term Viability of Department of the Interior Bison Under Current Management and Potential Metapopulation Management Strategies
The North American plains bison (Bison bison bison) once numbered in the tens of millions, with a range that extended from northern Mexico to central Canada. Yet by the end of the 1800s, a combination of commercial hunting, novel diseases, and habitat destruction had driven plains bison to the brink of extinction. The establishment of a small number of protected, federally managed herds in the early 1900s saved the subspecies from extinction in the wild. As a result of those efforts, the Department of the Interior (DOI) is now the primary national conservation steward of North American plains bison supporting approximately 11,000 plains bison in 19 herds on 4.6 million acres of National Park Service (NPS), US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in 12 states.
While plains bison are no longer threatened by demographic extinction, most DOI bison continue to exist in relatively small, isolated, range-restricted herds, confined by fences and further bound by socio-political concerns that limit their ecological recovery. Small, isolated populations are vulnerable to extirpation due to random catastrophic events such as disease outbreaks or extreme weather events. Small, isolated populations also lose genetic diversity more quickly than large populations through the process of genetic drift, which in turn can decrease the viability of populations through an accumulation of inbreeding and loss of adaptive capacity.
To mitigate the loss of genetic diversity in these isolated populations, previous researchers have suggested restoring effective gene flow among herds and managing DOI bison herds as a metapopulation. Gene flow can be restored either through the restoration of natural movements between populations or through the translocation of animals (or gametes) among populations.
In this project, the NPS partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the FWS to evaluate the ability of metapopulation management strategies to ensure the long-term population viability of DOI bison. This study had three major components:
- In collaboration with other stakeholders including the BLM, state wildlife managers, non-government organizations, and Canadian bison managers, we collected standardized, up-to-date genetic, demographic, and management data on 16 DOI and two Parks Canada herds (collectively simplified and referred to as DOI bison herein), to assess current existing genetic variation within and between herds (Chapter 2);
- We used these genetic, demographic, and management data to develop and parameterize individual-based, genetically explicit simulation models to project the long-term viability of each bison herd under current management practices (Chapter 3);
- We used this model to evaluate the effects of alternate metapopulation management strategies with varying levels of genetic exchange (translocations) between herds to ensure the long-term viability of DOI bison (Chapter 4).
To evaluate and compare the performance of the alternate bison management strategies modeled in this study, project partners established the following quantitative criteria for successful management:
- All DOI bison herds must have a 99% probability of surviving and maintaining currently established abundance objectives for 200 years;
- The existing genetic diversity within each individual bison herd must be maintained or improved;
- Existing genetic diversity within the DOI metapopulation as a whole must be maintained; and
- Genetic redundancy should be retained within the DOI metapopulation, such that the loss of any one DOI bison herd does not substantially reduce the genetic diversity of DOI herds as a whole.
Results from our genetic analyses (Chapter 2) identify considerable variation in the level of genetic diversity within, and significant genetic differentiation between, existing bison herds. Current levels of genetic diversity within herds generally correspond with known herd foundation and augmentation histories, combined with the expected effects of genetic drift. Results indicate that three bison herds currently have observed heterozygosity levels (Ho) close to 0.50, a value identified with an increased risk of inbreeding depression and as a threshold for triggering genetic augmentation.
Results of simulation models for individual bison herds (Chapter 3) project that all herds will lose genetic diversity over the next 200 years under current management conditions without additional gene flow. Herd size was the most important driver of genetic diversity loss, though the effect of herd size could be modulated by the effect of the removal strategies used to manage herd abundances. Overall, larger herds (>500 animals) lost modest amounts of genetic diversity (3-7% decrease) over time, while small herds (<100 animals) lost considerable diversity (34-81% decrease) over time, with correspondingly large increases in mean inbreeding levels. After 200 years under current management conditions eight herds were projected to have heterozygosity levels < 0.50, with mean inbreeding coefficient levels similar to those shown to impact the reproduction and survival of bison reported by other studies. Increasing the size of herds can reduce rates of genetic diversity loss due to genetic drift, as can removal strategies that maintain even sex ratios, target younger age classes instead of adults during removals, or target genetically overrepresented animals (e.g., bison most closely related to the rest of the herd).
Results of simulation models for individual bison herds indicate that 15 of the 18 herds in this study have a >99% probability of persisting for the next 200 years without additional gene flow. Three of the smallest herds (<100 individuals) are projected to be vulnerable to extinction (>10% probability of extinction) if maintained at current abundance levels without additional gene flow.
We identified logistical, biological, or political issues that could limit particular herds from acting either as a source or as a recipient for translocations, then modeled 25 metapopulation management scenarios in which we altered the criteria used to select source herds for translocations, the frequency of translocations, and the number of animals moved per translocation. We modeled four general scenarios for the selection of source herds for translocations: 1. Source herd must be the genetically least-related herd to the recipient herd; 2. Source herd must be genetically similar to the recipient herd; 3. Source herd must be systematically rotated at every translocation (in order from least-related to most-related to the recipient herd); 4. Source herd must be the geographically closest herd to the recipient herd. For each source herd scenario, we varied the number of bison transferred from two to eight bison, and frequency of transfers from five, eight, or 10-year intervals.
Results of our metapopulation management models (Chapter 4) indicate that translocation management strategies vary considerably in their efficacy. In particular, the criteria used to select potential source herds for translocations, and interactions between criteria used to select source herds and the size and initial levels of genetic diversity of recipient herds, strongly affected the efficacy of translocations to increase or maintain genetic diversity within herds. Using genetically least-related herds as sources for translocations resulted in the largest gains in genetic diversity for almost all herds. However, the less information-intensive strategy of systematically rotating source herds every translocation (in order of least- to most-related) led to almost identically large and consistent increases in the genetic diversity of recipient herds.
If a uniform translocation management strategy were to be adopted for all herds in the bison metapopulation, then a strategy of smaller, less frequent translocations (e.g., 2 bison every 10 years, 3 every 7 years) using either least-related herds as source populations or systematically rotating source herds at every translocation would be adequate for increasing the genetic diversity of most herds while also minimizing the loss of diversity at the metapopulation level. However, our results suggest that individual herds differ in their management needs, and that exploring a more tailored, herd-specific translocation strategy may be most beneficial. In particular, smaller herds benefit from more frequent translocations, larger herds require fewer and less frequent translocations, and herds with low initial levels of diversity are likely to benefit from any translocation.
In summary, this study confirms that management of DOI bison herds in isolation promotes the loss of genetic diversity within all herds. More importantly, this study demonstrates that increased herd size and targeted removal strategies can reduce rates of diversity loss, and that adopting a Departmental metapopulation strategy through facilitated periodic movement of modest numbers of bison among DOI herds (i.e., restoring effective gene flow) can substantially reduce the negative impacts of geographic isolation. Analyses of an array of scenarios for practical bison translocations indicates that the selection of appropriate source herds and numbers of animals to translocate must be considered carefully to most effectively conserve genetic diversity and ensure the long-term population persistence of bison. Long-term monitoring of genetic diversity, both at the individual herd level and across the metapopulation, will be essential to refine the implementation of an appropriate metapopulation management approach to maximize benefit to the species.
Based on these results, we recommend that the DOI Bison Working Group, as chartered under the DOI Bison Conservation Initiative (2008), initiate and oversee a technical task force to develop a comprehensive bison metapopulation management strategy for use by DOI agencies. This comprehensive management strategy must include explicit consideration of genetics, wildlife health, cattle introgression, data management, local unit management issues, partner/stakeholder engagement (Chapter 5). As we complete this project, the DOI Bison Working Group is concurrently working to finalize a bison health report that will describe considerations and issues for management of healthy DOI bison populations, and recommendations for coordination among DOI management units to better support bison health. This forthcoming DOI bison health report, in conjunction with the results of this project, will be key to informing a bison metapopulation strategy. Addressing the complexity of managing bison for conservation purposes will call for new and sustained levels of coordination and communication between DOI agencies and other bison conservation stakeholders, and traditional management models at the individual herd or even bureau level will need to be adapted to encompass broad species conservation goals that support continental conservation across multiple jurisdictions while respecting the variations in local management purpose and capacity.
The next several years offer unprecedented opportunity to capitalize on active engagement and partnerships to make meaningful, impactful, and durable gains in the conservation of bison in North America. With an articulated vision, sound scientific foundations, and committed internal and external partnerships, DOI bureaus are now well equipped to implement a new approach to bison conservation: a cooperative, multi-scaled stewardship model to preserve and protect our national bison heritage and to promote ecological and cultural restoration of bison to North America.

“The kids today don’t know the history. That’s because their teachers and parents don’t know. But I try to tell them.”
These are the words of Theodore “Dutch” Van Kirk, who was the navigator and now the last survivor of the special crew of the Enola Gay. The Enola Gay is the B-29 Superfortress which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, on Aug. 6, 1945. His comment was in response to a high school student telling him that World War II was “when we and the Germans fought the Russians.”
Over the past few days I attended three Memorial Day services and, except for the one at the Capitol, I saw very few children and young adults. Why don’t the teachers and parents of our children know their history? Is it because they are products of the Vietnam and post-Vietnam era when bad decisions by the government led to so much negative publicity about the war that they are ignoring all 20th Century History?
Wars are horrible, but they are part of history. Our loved ones fought and died so that we as a people, a country, would remain free. Not only that, but we are the only people in the history of the world to lay down our lives so that other countries, other peoples, might be free. We might not like a war, but let us never dishonor those who did their duty.
When we of the older generation were school children, our teachers took us on Memorial Day to decorate the graves of soldiers with flowers, which we had brought from home.
This tradition started in Dahlonega in the spring of 1866, two years before it was first officially observed on 30 May 1868, by the placing of flowers on the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
According to Cain’s History of Lumpkin County: “Early in the spring of 1866, a number of Dahlonega’s earnest, true hearted Southern women conceived the idea of decorating with flowers, the graves of the soldiers buried at Mt. Hope cemetery.” Cain goes on to say: “At the time appointed, all the men, women and children of the town assembled at the Methodist church to do honor to the occasion.”
Two things stand out in that quote. First, all the graves of soldiers would be decorated; and second, all the people of Dahlonega were present to process to the cemetery. By those standards how meager our remembrances are today.
Last Thursday the Governor led the Memorial service to remember Georgia soldiers who had been killed since May 15, 2008. The keynote address was by General Charles Campbell, Fort McPherson. General Campbell is the last active duty Army Officer to have served in Vietnam.
General Campbell chose Isaiah 6:8 to reflect on the bravery and sense of honor and duty of the American soldier. “I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
Following the keynote speech, Army Chaplain Blair Davis read the names, ranks, and hometowns of Georgia’s 10 “fallen heroes.” The ceremony ended with the Governor and General recognizing the family members. Colonel William Cain of Dahlonega acted as Master of Ceremonies.
As Christian song writer Randy Vader once wrote about Memorial Day: “The story of America’s quest for freedom is inscribed on her history in the blood of her patriots.”
As a retired U.S. Army officer and Vietnam veteran, I take pride in remembering our military and all their sacrifices on Memorial Day 2009.

J.K. Rowling's New 'Harry Potter' Short Story Should Mean That These 5 Spin-Off Novels Are Coming
You’re killing us, J.K. Rowling. After years of telling fans that Harry Potter was over, the secretive author celebrated the three-year anniversary of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’s U.K. premiere on June 7 with a return to the Potterverse. On Tuesday morning, Rowling released a new Harry Potter short story on Pottermore from the point-of-view of the venomous Daily Prophet reporter, Rita Skeeter, and proved that she’s so not done making magic. So, is she ready to give up that Robert Galbraith pseudonym yet?
The new Skeeter gossip column (that can only be accessed if you're a member of the site) is just as scathing as when she took on Harry, Hermione, and the rest of the Triwizard Champions in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But this time, they’re attending the Quidditch World Cup in Patagonia and a gray-haired, 34-year-old Harry Potter and the rest of Dumbledore’s Army is the subject of her ever-present, acid green Quick-Quotes quill. And, even though every self-respecting Potter fan thinks Rita Skeeter is an abomination to the wizarding world, this story is great.
Which prompts me to sincerely request that J.K. Rowling put a hold on her Cormoran Strike series and shelve Robert Galbraith for awhile — because Potter fans desperately need these four spin-off books to become a reality:
Rita Skeeter’s Most Scathing Daily Prophet Columns: An Anthology
Rowling could do a whole volume on that time in Order of the Phoenix during which the entire wizarding population though Harry was a nutter. Big money.
Dumbledore’s Army: The Dark Side of the Demob
Maybe Rita Skeeter can explain the phenomenon that's Neville Longbottom's trip through puberty? Because that was absolutely magic, right?
The Life & Lies of Albus Dumbledore
The biography that changed everything and fueled the Deathly Hallows subplot of Harry wondering why he'd trusted Dumbledore his entire life, just to end up with seemingly nothing. We're all Albus Dumbledore-lovers here, but Rowling owes us this information.
The Wizarding Royalty Wedding Album: Harry Potter & Ginny Weasley
They're the Will and Kate of the wizarding world — even Rita Skeeter can agree with that.
My Life With Centaurs: Dolores Umbridge's Story
What happened to that woman in the Forbidden Forest? We need to know — if only to feel like Umbridge got the punishment she deserved.

Globally Astonishing Features of Mongolian Cashmere
Use of cashmere originates from the time of Great Empire’s conquest, and an emergence of intercontinental free trade. Records about the use of cashmere apparels are found even at the time of ancient Greece and Roman Empire. It is reported that cashmere delivered from the East through sea routes was known to the Western users. According to Italian trader, Marco Polo who travelled from to the East in the 13th century at the time of Great Mongol Empire Mongolians were not only using cashmere apparels but also trading them to other countries.
Map of Marco Polo’s journey to the East Statue of Marco Polo in Ulaanbaatar city
British colonisation in the 19th century contributed also to expanding the use of cashmere goods in Europe. However, it has become a product of global use only started from the 60s. Today Mongolians are producing high quality of cashmere yarns and apparels based on combining its ancient experiences and the modern technology.
In a result of the selection process lasted for thousand years to endure extreme cold conditions during winter seasons Mongolian goat developed soft and thin fibre which is a feature to be valued for a gold. The fibre of Mongolian goat is bout 13-16 micron and 38-43 cm long that is a quality considered highly suiting for spinning.
Cashmere products are joint products of Western and Eastern cultures, e.g. 100% Mongolian cashmere processed with the use of European technology.

A decorative gush of green-white striped, long and thin leaves pours over the edge of the plant pot, with delicate white blossoms peeking out. The Chlorophytum comosum is a beautiful indoor plant, which is considered to be easy to maintain and fast-growing.
This undemanding plant feels well in a bright spot. Places where they get in direct contact with the sun in the morning or in the evening are just perfect. The light contributes, for example, to the development of a strong coloring of the leaves. If possible, however, the spider plant should not be exposed to the hot midday sun in the summer to make sure the leaves won’t burn.
A half-shaded spot would be all right. In a darker environment and in the shade, however, it grows only slowly. Low temperatures will slow down the growth too. The plant grows best when the room temperature is as constant as possible between 14 °C and 18 °C. This plant is very adaptable, so it can withstand temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C.
Especially in the cold time of year, the chlorophytum comosum should be located in a room rather than outside. In the summer it also grows on the balcony or in the garden, if it is not permanently illuminated by the sun.

Posted on 05/03/2021 12:26:05 AM PDT by Jyotishi
click here to read article
Hasn’t Netanyahu struggles in the last two elections?
He’s struggled through the last four elections (in two years) and is about to bring Israel to its fifth election in a few months.
After every election Netanyahu is given the first chance to form a government, he can’t, so he remains PM until the next election. Rinse, lather, repeat.
I wish Israel knew it is more than one man.
That's not going to happen forever. If he doesn't win more convincingly next time, it's unlikely he'll be asked to form a government again.
Does this guy get paid every time he smears the normals with “right-wing” in this screed ?
Assassin piece on Israel.
Sicko Gwynne Dyer is FIXATED on Netanyahu.
Anti Bibi BS! I've never heard of the source. But is sounds like a leftist liars den. "The Pioneer"? (it is an Indian Newspaper)
The Pioneer was founded in Allahabad in 1865 by George Allen, an Englishman who ran a tea business but whose sharp mind ensured the newspaper exercised great influence in British India. Not only that, Sir Winston Churchill was The Pioneer's war correspondent while author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), in his early 20s, worked at the newspaper office in Allahabad as an assistant editor from November 1887 to March 1889. The newspaper remained a primarily Lucknow-based paper until 1990, when it was purchased by the Thapar Group, under L. M. Thapar, who made it a national newspaper. Mr Mitra carried on the baton, not just fanning out into the heart of India but also to the east and coast. His two terms in the Rajya Sabha helped him develop an insight for a macro-oriented view of India and its place in contemporary dialogue.
Never heard of this antisemitic author “Gwynne Dyer” but I thought demographics has become destiny in Israel as far as rhe steady rightward shift i.e. the more religious especially recent immigrants have far more kids while the secular leftists thankfully don’t reproduce (thankfully this is the case in America as well).
Some aspects of Israel are reminiscent of South Africa — high fences, lots of guns, and large, unfriendly dogs — and religion has played a big role in politics in both countries. But the caravans are moving in opposite directions: South Africa towards democracy, Israel away from it.
Sounds like Jimmuh.
<< perpetual subjugation of its Arab population >>
Total BS, as is the entire article. Arabs hold at least a dozen seats in the Knesset. They also have equal voting rights, and in fact Israel is one of the few places in the Mideast where Arab women can vote.
The only legal distinction between Jewish and Arab citizens is that the latter aren’t required to serve in the Israeli army, yet many still do.
Yes, for the most part the two populations are segregated, but it’s not govt mandated. They CHOOSE to live apart.
Not surprisingly, the author pens articles praising Biden for his “sensibility” and fear-mongering about “climate change.”
OMG! The Rubes!
Yes, but not surprisingly, he's got fans here on FR.
“ The only legal distinction between Jewish and Arab citizens is that the latter aren’t required to serve in the Israeli army”
And when they become a majority are they allowed to make Islam the official religion?
As of a couple years ago, for the first time in Israeli history, the Jewish fertility rate surpassed that of the Arabs. There’ll be no Arab majority in Israel. ...unlike (eventually) in Western Europe.
There was a tempest in a small teapot recently, as Human Rights Watch (HRW) …Screed dies right there.
I see he has a Stalinazi Fascist Sheep-Fisting Salute poster on his page.

WW is the #1 Doctor-Advisable Weight-Loss Program† †Based on a 2020 IQVIA survey of 14,000 medical doctors who advocate weight-loss programs to patients. The Mayo Clinic Food regimen is designed to help you lose as much as 6 to 10 kilos (2.7 to 4.5 kilograms) in the course of the initial two-week phase. Since you’ve already improved your weight loss plan and elevated your exercise, you’ve got already improved your well being. Water has no calories at all, so it satisfies your thirst without adding weight. Khera R, et al. Affiliation of pharmacological remedies for obesity with weight loss and adversarial events: A systematic evaluation and meta-evaluation.
In addition to a more healthy weight-reduction plan, regular bodily activity is a vital a part of your weight loss journey. However even that much could be tanking your weight-loss efforts, in keeping with research introduced at a recent assembly of the European Association for the Study of Obesity. The final result’s your physique burns fewer calories and good points weight sooner than before the weight-reduction plan.
If you cannot additional decrease the calories you eat or enhance your physical activity, chances are you’ll need to revisit your weight-loss aim. Several studies have additionally proven that individuals who snack recurrently eat less at mealtime. Researchers assume the calm self-consciousness developed through yoga might assist folks resist overeating. When examining the rate of weight loss, people lost about 0.fifty five kilos (0.25 kg) per week with intermittent fasting, but 1.65 kilos (0.75 kg) per week with alternate-day fasting ( 2 ). Individuals additionally lost 4-7% of their waist circumference, indicating that they lost stomach fat.
Strolling is one of the greatest exercises for weight loss — and for good reason. The food regimen would not require you to get rid of any foods. Exercise may help in maintaining weight loss. That stated, many consuming plans depart you feeling hungry or unsatisfied. In: The Mayo Clinic Diet. You have moved closer to a slimming way of life that helps people reduce weight with out crazy or difficult weight-reduction plan plans.
The first train that many people do when they need to drop pounds is cardio. Train is a great way to reduce weight – it burns calories and builds muscle mass. When you eat a meal that comprises no fat, then you do not want a dose of Alli. As an alternative, the Mayo Clinic Wholesome Weight Pyramid serves as a information to making smart consuming decisions.
Your body burns many more calories digesting protein than it does consuming fats or carbohydrates. Eat home-cooked meals at the least five days per week. Research present that people who preserve their weight loss over the long term get regular physical exercise. Study co-creator Toshiki Moriyama, Ph.D., a professor within the Health and Counseling Heart of Osaka University, says this is likely to be because you tend to have extra energy the following day in consequence.
Hensrud DD, et al. The Mayo Clinic Food regimen. Typically, it might appear as if you are not eating that a lot, yet you continue to have problem losing weight. The best solution to drop pounds and hold it off is by eating a healthy low-calorie diet and being extra bodily energetic. Overall, due to this fact, GOLO appears to be a cost effective method to assist people not just drop pounds, but additionally turn into healthier total.

text: This novel is like a nasty bar fight that ends before you realize you were the one right in the thick of it. Written in four parts (originally printed in Playboy as a series), not a sentence is wasted. It’s full of guns, frauds, sex and liquor. Jimmy Luntz is an obsessive gambler, and a quartet singer. Anita Desilvera embezzled a huge chunk of change and drinks beer to get sober. Jimmy gets picked up by a guy named Gambol, but that’s not the biggest irony of the book. Jimmy shoots Gambol and steals his wallet, and his Cadillac. In the most broken down situations, right when his characters are at their absolute end, Johnson gives a line like, “She stepped under the shower and would have stayed there forever but the bulb in the ceiling blew and in the dimness under the falling water she thought she saw fireflies clambering from the drain and coming at her face.” By the end, you don’t want this story to go on, but it’s perfect in its tight package—a fine example of what magazine writing used to be, and should be again.

|Teenage debutant Marcus Rashford wheels away to celebrate a scoring debut|
At the start of the week, the state of affairs at Manchester United put the club's season on trial. United were in real danger of exiting two Cup competitions in a week to effectively put to bed any interest in their season. I blogged that the club would do well to remain in both competitions by the end of the week.
It turns out that they did manage it in the end but for long periods last night, it seemed like a major European upset was on the cards. Certainly so when the Danish club opened the scoring at Old Trafford to extend their aggregate lead over United to a couple of goals.
United's early plight in the first half, coupled with news of injury to Anthony Martial in the warm-up had the feel of Murphy's law in operation. Louis van Gaal has been unfortunate with injuries--15 at kickoff yesterday--but it is by his design that the club's human resource is feather-weight. The reasoning is that it affords him to give more young players an opportunity, which is fine and all, but he cannot in the same breath use it as an excuse when things go wrong.
Last night though, more things went right for the Red Devils who lined up with such a plethora of youthful players that if you'd just been from under a cave, you would think that the Dutch manager had opted for a second string selection in Europe's ugly duckling competition.
Often times this season, a dearth of experience in the squad has seen the players lose confidence at the first turn of adversity during a game. There were plenty of points during the game last night that examined the mental strength of the kids on show.
In the first half alone, FC Midtjylland scored with their first attack, Schneiderlin struck the post and Mata missed a penalty. And yet to their credit, United kept at it, plugging away until they---to use a van Gaal coin, 'forced the luck'.
It's a determination that was embodied by the debut of Manchester's latest along the production line, Marcus Rashford. In for the pulled up Martial, the 18 year old turned in a performance that he will never forget regardless how his career pans out from hereon.
Pace, strength and directness in a centre forward is what United have lacked this season and yet Rashford seemed to have them in abundance. Indeed the couple of excellent finishes in the second half were what we know as a typical centre forward's goal, borne of the kind of movement and positioning in the box that we've not seen too often this year.
Louis van Gaal will be accused of many things when his time is up at Old Trafford, but the number of debuts he has handed out to the youth has provided fans with some decent memories to hold onto. Of the young lot, and for various reasons, Old Trafford will remember impressive debuts from Andreas Perreira, Cameron-Borthwick Jackson, Marcus Rashford from the club's ranks and Anthony Martial from the transfer window.
It also helped the club's fortunes yesterday that Memphis Depay was at the races yet again in European competition. His performances against more accomplished opposition in the premier league however gives the impression that he is yet to make the step up in quality required for assignments such as Sunday's league meeting with Arsenal.
Ultimately, for a game that struggled to sell, it was the most entertaining United have been at home in a long while. Certainly the best of the season. There was more panache and verve about United's going forward. Perhaps the youthfulness on this occasion worked to negate the baggage of nerves and pressure that the senior players often exhibit. As such, United ended up creating chance after chance and posting the biggest win under Louis van Gaal. Not once had United managed five goals in a game under van Gaal's leadership. That, in itself is an indictment on United's fortunes under the Dutchman.
United will definitely come up against more stern examination in the competition than a third placed team in the Danish league, but at least they've avoided a humiliation that would have scaled unknown heights. Two positive results on the bounce are no longer a given at United but there will be no eyebrows raised during a week in which United have come up against opposition they are expected to sweep aside. No. The brows will be raised if United close the week with victory over Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.
United's successful template against the Gunners had been built around a competitive, aggressive approach to games against them. Under LVG, that template has since been ditched for a softer, less abrasive approach. The results have since dipped against them. The pain of losing to Arsenal is often underscored by the fact that there is an existing and well known template of how to go about games against them. Unfortunately, LVG never got that memo. At least not quite well anyway.
The 3-0 defeat to them in October was record premier league victory for them against us, highlighting how rarely it has been for Arsene Wenger's side to totally dominate United in a game. We'll find out if van Gaal learnt a few lessons from that on Sunday.

Students of the HSE and University of London Parallel Degree Programme in International Relations earned some of the highest scores worldwide on the exams that the University of London administers at its foreign partner universities.
Of the original 300 students enrolled in doctoral programmes set to graduate this year, only 126 reached the final stage of the process—the dissertation defence. While congratulating the recent class of graduates, HSE Vice Rector Vyacheslav Bashev noted that such a large attrition rate testifies to the seriousness of those who have made it to graduation. ‘Though many of you work, you continue to invest in yourselves intellectually,’ he said.
The HSE News Service attended the first workshop held at a new laboratory that has been equipped for chemistry students. In the new laboratory, first-year students will be able to conduct experiments and learn how to work with different substances.

This axis connects all the other perspectives. It does not attempt to cover one certain social phenomenon in its full scope; we selected examples that can transmit the personal and emotional experience of an individual face to face with ideology or repression.
We focused on the experience of the common citizens who took part in neither active opposition against the regime, nor in its political and economic establishment. The life of each individual was nevertheless marked by the politics (see Our Occupation). In the Eastern Bloc, this was due to the fact that the state intervened even in areas that are now reserved for individual decision. Life under socialism presented specific situations and dilemmas and our examples aim at demonstrating them (see A Serious Conversation). This axis is meant to complement the Reppression perspective, as many examples open the dilemma of how common people (who did not oppose the regime openly) coped with human rights violations (see Diary of the Artist). When working with this axis, it is necessary to bear in mind that we mainly work with artistic representations that construct the “common citizen” category in period and contemporary films. We do not expect and cannot say for sure how many citizens of Czechoslovakia experienced the situations of our characters. However, we selected clips that permit us to ponder the question of why, by whom and when our characters are considered typical.

Magical and Miraculous repost from Care2.com
Though we may not understand it, the essential truth of the universe is that it’s synchronistic and coincidental. Everything is connected with everything else, and if we are in synch with the universe, then we experience synchronicity. The more connected we are, the more we experience coincident or simultaneous events.
Therefore, never ignore coincidences. When a coincidence happens, ask yourself, What does this mean? What is the significance of this coincidence? Coincidences are messages from your soul; they are clues to the nonlocal Self. The local self is the person that you think you are. The nonlocal Self is the unbounded spirit. You experience both, so when coincidence happens, in that moment you have glimpsed your soul, the non-local Self.
When you have a conscious awareness of your soul, you experience everything as a miracle. You feel happy, your life begins to transform. You see the connection between your inner world and your outer world; you see that every event in your life is being orchestrated by the entire universe.
As you elevate your attention from the world of humdrum and trivial to the world of the magical and miraculous, your life becomes magical and miraculous. Your attention is spontaneously alert to the fact that life itself is a miracle.
Adapted from Power, Freedom, and Grace by Deepak Chopra (Amber-Allen Publishing Inc., 2006).

The papers say their union is “irretrievably broken” and that she shouldn’t be entitled to spousal support because “[She’s] an able-bodied person, earning income and is capable of supporting herself.”
But Porsha had something totally different in mind when she filmed the reunion show.
She recently interviewed with TheGrio.com, sharing that she’s hoping that during the upcoming “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion show, she’ll be able to clear the air about her career.
“People feel like I’ve never worked. I’ve never done anything to accomplish anything in my life. That’s not true,” she told TheGrio.com.
Since making her debut on the reality show, Porsha has somehow slipped into the category of being a trophy wife and not having much else to offer. And when she made a big fuss about pursuing her career, many wondered just what career she was talking about
But she insists that she’s an entrepreneur.
“I’ve owned a business since I was 26 years old. A lot of the women, I don’t think they see that side of me, so maybe they just judge it from the outside,” she reasoned.

A railway from Haifa to Damascus was opened in 2905; it runs across the Plain of Esdraelon, enters the Ghor at Beisan, then, turning northwards, impinges on the Sea of Galilee at Samakh, and runs up the valley of the Yarmuk to join, at ed-Der`a, the line of the third railway.
Damascus is closely connected with Galilee and Gilead, and has always been in contact with Mesopotamia, Assyria, Asia Minor and Armenia.
Nevertheless he made his way into Palestine, planted garrisons at Philoteria on the Sea of Galilee and Scythopolis, and finally stormed Rabbath-ammon (Philadelphia) which was held by partisans of Egypt.
But Judas did not lay down his arms, and added to his resources by rescuing the Jews of Galilee and Gilead and settling them in Judaea (1 Macc. v.).
Judas Aristobulus, who succeeded and was the first of the Hasmonaeans, called himself king and followed his father's example by compelling the Ituraeans to become Jews, and so creating the Galilee of New Testament times.
The sons of Antipater became deputies for their father; and it appears that Galilee, which was entrusted to Herod, fell within his jurisdiction.
Driven downward through Galilee they seized Jerusalem, massacred its inhabitants and plundered its churches.
Khan Minyeh is beautifully situated in a "fertile plain formed by the retreat of the mountains about the middle of the western shore" of the Sea of Galilee.
Christianity, regarded objectively as one of the great religions of the world, owes its rise to Jesus of Nazareth, in ancient Galilee.
With these instances in mind, it is natural to regard (3) the curious resemblance as to the (non-historical) order in which Theudas and Judas of Galilee are referred to in both as accidental, the more so that again there is difference as to numbers.
About 165 B.C. Simon Maccabaeus defeated the Syrians in many battles in Galilee, and drove them into Ptolemais.
Between the chapel and the great church is an Early English building which appears to have served as a Galilee porch.

For him there was no schism between Rome and Galilee, between classical genius and sacred inspiration.
The original seat and present home of the nucleus of the Maronites is Mt Lebanon; but they are also to be found in considerable force in Anti-Lebanon and Hermon, and more sporadically in and near Antioch, in Galilee, and on the Syrian coast.
Herod returned with an army, but his father prevailed upon him to depart to Galilee without wreaking his vengeance upon his enemies.
Throughout the Old Testament history, however, Galilee as a whole cannot be said to have a history; the unit of territorial subdivision was tribal rather than provincial, and though such important events as those associated with the names of Barak, Gideon, Gilboa, Armageddon, took place within its borders, yet these belong rather to the histories of Issachar, Zebulon, Asher or Naphtali, whose territories together almost correspond with Galilee, than to the province itself.
After the Jewish return from exile the population confined itself to Judaea, and Galilee was left in the possession of the mixed multitude of successors established there by the Assyrians.
Stock proverbial sayings such as "Out of Galilee cometh no prophet" (though Deborah, Jonah, Elisha, and probably Hosea, were Galileans) were apparently common.
Under the Roman domination Galilee was made a tetrarchate governed by members of the Herod family.
Herod the Great was tetrarch of Galilee in 47 B.C.; in 4 B.C. he was succeeded by his son Antipas.
After the destruction of Jerusalem the Judaean Rabbinic schools took refuge in the Galilee they had heretofore despised.
Lower Galilee includes the plains of Buttauf and Esdraelon.
The whole of Galilee presents country more or less disturbed by volcanic action.
In the lower division the hills are all tilted up towards the east, and broad streams of lava have flowed Lower over the plateau above the sea of Galilee.
North of the Buttauf is a confused hill country, the spurs falling towards a broad valley which lies at the foot of the mountains of Upper Galilee.
The whole of Lower Galilee is well watered.
The principal places of importance in Lower Galilee are Nazareth (10,000 inhabitants), Sepphoris (now Seffuria), a large village standing above the Buttauf on the spurs of the southern hills, and Jenin (En Gannim), a flourishing village, with a palm garden (3000 inhabitants).
Kefr Kenna, now a flourishing Christian village at the foot of the Nazareth hills, south of the Buttauf, is one of the sites identified with Cana of Galilee, and the ruin Kana, on the north side of the same plain, represents the site pointed out to the pilgrims of the 12th and 13th centuries.
The mountains are tilted up towards the Sea of Galilee, and the drainage of the district is towards the north-west.
Though rocky and difficult, Upper Galilee is not barren, the soil of the plateaus is rich, and the vine flourishes in the higher hills, especially in the neighbourhood of Kefr Bir'im.
Josephus gives a good description of the Galilee of his time in Wars, iii.
The antiquities of Galilee include dolmens and rude stone monuments, rock-cut tombs, and wine-presses, with numerous remains of Byzantine monasteries and fine churches of the time of the crusades.
In the 12th century Galilee was the outpost of the Christian kingdom of Jerusalem, and its borders were strongly protected by fortresses, the magnificent remains of which still crown the most important strategical points.
Lower Galilee was the last remaining portion of the Holy Land held by the Christians.
In 1 2 50 the knights of the Teutonic order owned lands extending round Acre as far east as the Sea of Galilee, and including Safed.
The population of Galilee is mixed.
In Lower Galilee the peasants are principally Moslem, with a sprinkling of Greek Christians round Nazareth, which is a Christian town.
The latter is one of the chief examples of the period, to which must be added the cathedral of Salisbury (except the tower); the Galilee at Ely; nave and transept of Wells (1225-1240); nave of Lincoln; west front of Peterborough; and the minster at Beverley.
Galilee was invaded and Baasha was forced to return; the building material which he had collected at Ramah being used by Asa to fortify Geba, and Mizpah to the immediate north of Jerusalem.
From its sources to the Dead Sea it rushes down a continuous inclined plane, broken here and there by rapids and small falls; between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea its sinuosity is so great that in a direct distance of 65 m.
On leaving the Sea of Galilee the water is quite clear, but it soon assumes a tawny colour from the soft marl which it washes away from its banks and deposits in the Dead Sea.
When not in flood the river is often fordable, and between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea there are then more than fifty fords - some of them of historic interest.
Papyrus grows in Lake Huleh, and rice and cereals thrive on its shores, whilst below the Sea of Galilee the vegetation is almost tropical.
It receives two affluents, with perennial waters, on the left, the Yarmuk (Hieromax) which flows in from the volcanic Jaulan a little south of the Sea of Galilee, and the Zerka (Jabbok) which comes from the Belka district to a point more than half-way down the lower course.
He was the puppet ruler the tetrarch of the region of Galilee and Perea, within the Roman Empire.

During the 34-day war, the Hezbollah terrorist army launched some 4,000 rockets into northern Israel, striking cities across the Galilee region.
Salome was the daughter of Herodias, a woman involved with the Tetrarch of Galilee, a man named Antipas.


The government has made fact-based presentations to the labour unions on what it can afford without going to borrow to pay salary.
The proposal includes that no worker will earn below the 30,000 minimum wage enacted by the Minimum Wage Act. We also made suggestions on the consequential adjustments as they affect the other cadres.
Our initial proposal to the labour, which they have rejected, means that Kwara will now spend 85% of its allocation on public sector workers alone, up from the current 75%, while well over 3.450million Kwarans, will struggle with the remaining 15% percent. This is very scary and hardly sustainable if we want to develop.
We will continue to appeal to labour union leaders to temper their demands with the financial realities of the state which they are privy to.
Indeed, the state government will soon make them a new offer based on the emerging realities of the state. It is important to note that the 2020 budget had been predicated on $57 per barrel of crude oil. But today the price of crude oil has fallen to $54 and that means the financial projection of the country and indeed the state has been seriously altered.
Nonetheless, we believe that the labour union leaders and indeed the entire work force are patriotic citizens who fully appreciate the peculiar situation of Kwara at the moment. We urge the workers’ unions to kindly see reasons why we cannot afford to go borrowing to pay salary in the face of yawning infrastructural deficits and underdevelopment.

Blue Matter bids a fond farewell to Whidbey supporters
The legacy of Charlie, Dizzy, Duke and Miles is richer because of contemporary jazz artists.
And a group of talented young musicians on South Whidbey has added to that legacy.
The Blue Matter jazz combo has enriched the musical life of the South End for almost seven years.
But good things often come to an end, and the senior members of Blue Matter are graduating this year.
The band decided to take the opportunity to say thank you to the community, teachers and mentors who have supported them through the years with a farewell performance.
Blue Matter will play at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23 as part of the Local Artist Series.
The band includes Grant Neubauer on piano, Landon Moore on alto sax, Keegan Harshman on bass, Jasper Hayes on guitar and Ian Marsanyi on drums.
The combo will welcome guest artists for the performance, including former band member Tim Atkinson, Seattle musician Neil Welch and high school band director Chris Harshman, among others.
Blue Matter is an award-winning jazz group whose high school members have been together since middle school and who are all members of the South Whidbey High School Jazz Ensemble.
The combo has played numerous festivals and competitions, and has many supporters on the island who have engaged them for public and private events through the years.
Though they are young, their musical prowess is evident.
Pianist Neubauer has come a long way since the early days.
“When I started playing jazz in sixth grade, I was inspired by one pianist, Michel Camilo. He plays Latin jazz, and is very rhythmic. Back then, though, I think I liked him just because he played really fast,” Neubauer said.
“Currently, my jazz inspirations are Miles Davis (the epitome of cool), Bill Evans (for making so little sound like so much) and Aaron Parks (a fellow Whidbey Islander who has ‘made it’ in music.”
None of the band members has amateurish or youthful tastes when it comes to music.
Marsanyi mentioned some of the all-time greats of jazz as influences, such as Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham, Art Blakey, John Coltrane and James Brown.
But, like Moore, he is aware of how lucky he is to be a part of such an artistic community. His father, Robert Marsanyi, is a pianist.
“My father is always a great source of inspiration musically, performance-wise, listening-wise or even conceptually,” Marsanyi said.
Moore named band leader Chris Harshman and frequent guest teacher Neil Welch as his local jazz heroes, along with fellow jazz ensemble sax player and 2008 graduate Jeff Potter.
They began as the brainchild of Chris Harshman in 2003.
Harshman wanted the rhythm section of the school jazz ensemble to jam together and become more of a unit.
He added Moore’s saxophone and a trumpet, Atkinson, to provide melodies.
“We began by representing the school, performing at nonprofit events and small gatherings, and slowly developed our own image,” Marsanyi said.
The youthfulness of the band’s members belied their abilities, and the band continued to develop musically.
“We broke from being exclusively the middle school combo to our own entity, Blue Matter, and began performing for larger crowds and actual money,” he said.
It was a good decision. Blue Matter members went on to make a name for themselves.
Six years later, the band has played everything from gigs at Island Coffee House & Books, Clinton Days, the Island County Fair and M-Bar-C Ranch concerts to shows on the mainland such as the Best of the Northwest Arts Fair, private parties and various jazz festivals.
Blue Matter has helped islanders ring in the New Year at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club parties and at the Fish Bowl restaurant.
“We were recognized at the Lionel Hampton International Jazz festival as combo runner-up, and each member has received solo awards in various competitions, either with the larger jazz band or the combo,” Marsanyi said.
“It was a great experience, and we really bonded both musically and as friends, and to lose the musical part of this is huge,” Moore said.
Beyond the music and performance, the band also has become savvy at the business side of the music industry.
The students of the combo book all of their own gigs, working directly with community members and professionals to set up their schedule.
Additionally, they do all of their own publicity, with the loving help of their parents, Marsanyi said.
But now that the band must split up, each of them are certain Blue Matter has provided the foundation from which they can grow as musicians in the wider world.
“Next for me in music is branching out into free-improvisational music, and contemporary music in general,” Marsanyi said.
Marsanyi is particularly interested in the combination of music and electronics.
“I will also be continuing my efforts as a composer, both for small group or ensemble work and hopefully for full orchestral work as well.”
“Honestly, it’s going to be tough,” Neubauer said.
“We started our musical journey together back in seventh grade, and I strongly feel our individual talent is a direct result of playing with each other. It’s been so much fun, I don’t want to see it end.”
Neubauer hopes to attend a school with a strong music program, and is leaning toward a possible minor in music.
Moore plans on traveling for a year.
“When I get back, I am going to pick up my horn again and see where it takes me,” Moore said.
No matter what happens in the future, Blue Matter members are intent on letting the people who have supported them know how much that has meant to them.
“This gig will be a chance for Blue Matter to give back to the community that has helped us along the way,” Marsanyi said.


text: About 12 billion roubles - approximately 400 million dollars - have been spent in the Altai Territory, southern Siberia, on the rehabilitation of the population that suffered from the nuclear tests at the former Soviet testing ground near the city of Semipalatinsk, the top officials of a special committee established in the Altai Territory for doing away with the consequences of tests reported. Semipalatinsk is situated on the territory of present Kazakhstan near the Altai Territory. According to the committee's data, more than 50 hospitals and outpatient clinics and 21 social-maintenance facilities have been put into service over the decade that has passed since the adoption of the rehabilitation programme. More than 60 million dollars have been spent only on the provision of the diagnostic centres in Barnaul and other towns of the Altai Territory with up-to-date medical equipment. All this made it possible to increase early exposure of diseases, among them oncologic ones.

Use RightClick in the 3DView or the LeftClick in the outliner to select an open mesh object. Then press the “Simple Base” button in the Model Work panel
A popup will appear with options. Select the desired options and pres “OK.” The model will be converted to a closed object.
The triangulate options will add some processing time, but may produce a more satisfactory mesh for software such as Blue Sky Plan Ortho. Whether or not the triangulate option is selected, the original mesh data will be unaltered, which is very different than the methods in other software.
The base height is the distance from the highest point of the mesh perimeter. Setting a small value, like .01 will provide the smallest base possible.
[learn_more caption=”Advanced Use/Information”]
Controlling The Base Orientation
There are 3 modes that control how the flat part of the base is created.
World Z Axis
The most predictable way to control the orientation of the base is to pre-align the model with the world Z axis. Use the view menu to view the “Front” or “Right” world views, and then align the model so that the desired base is aligned perpendicular to the blue Z axis (flat to the X (red) and Y (green)).
Local Z Axis
Multiple objects can be selected, and the “Batch Mode” option checked. A base will be added to all selected objects.

Really irregular borders can cause poor triangulation of the base. This can be fixed by performing a closed plane cut [TODO INSERT LINK] above the base.

Lega Serie A have rescinded Luis Alberto’s assist for Joaquin Correa in Lazio’s 4-3 win over Genoa last week, meaning that he still has still failed to register an assist in Serie A this season.
According to a report from Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi earlier today, the 28-year-old Spaniard provided a simple pass to the Argentinian forward before Lazio’s fourth goal against the Rossoblu last weekend.
Luis Alberto’s assist was rescinded because before the goal Correa skipped past Edoardo Goldaniga and Davide Biraschi with a feint.
A similar situation occurred last week involving the same two Biancocelesti players, this time in the 3-0 win over AC Milan.
Luis Alberto played a pass to Correa in the buildup to the Roman club’s second goal, but because Correa dribbled past Fikayo Tomori, the goal’s development was considered to have started after the last pass.
This means that Luis Alberto officially has still not registered an assist in Serie A this campaign, despite his consistently strong performances and role in the buildup.
