Who was involved in developing the atomic bomb
When was the atomic bomb developed by the US and USSR?Actually the Germans were on track to build the first atom bomb until many key scientists defected to canadian goose jacket the US/Great Britain. That enabled the US to create the first bomb and drop it in canada goose 1945 which led to the end of WW2. Answer The Nazis were nowhere near developing an atomic bomb, the “defecting” scientists mentioned above having left Germany well before WWII. Several were of course, Jews. The Manhattan Project canada goose store was a joint Allied effort with scientists from many countries apart from the US including Britain, Germany, Hungary and Italy. A German, Klaus Fuchs, was a spy for the Russians which how they so quickly developed their own bomb (and why Stalin wasn’t as surprised as he should have been when the Allies used their three bombs). What was unknown was that the Nazi Canada Goose online atomic bomb program had alreadystalled (due to several scientific errors) and been changed to alow priority reactor prototype development project that was to beexpanded after the Nazis canada goose black friday sale won the war to build nuclear power plants.
canada goose coats Who developed the atomic bomb?The US Army’s Manhattan Project under the militaryleadership of General Leslie Groves and the scientific directorshipof Robert Oppenheimer (the two men in the image above). The projectspent two billion dollars, mostly on building factories and otheratomic infrastructure, and employed more than 130,000 people atsites scattered across the US. It is a common misconception that Albert Einstein was part of theManhattan Project. As a pacifist he refused to perform any canada goose uk shop warrelated work and the US Army canada goose uk outlet security would never have granted himthe necessary security clearances (they refused to grant RobertOppenheimer these clearances and it took a direct order fromGeneral Groves to override this and get Oppenheimer cleared asGroves believed he was the only scientist that Groves couldcommunicate with about the issues needed to make the projectsucceed). The only participation Einstein had was to sign a letter on August2, 1939 previously written by Leo Szilard (who invented the atomicbomb in 1933 while in London, patent GB630726) addressed topresident Franklin Roosevelt. After the letter was sent he knewnothing of whether the US was even studying it or not until he sawthe August 6, 1945 newspaper headlines about the atomic bombing ofHiroshima that morning. canada goose coats
buy canada goose jacket Who first developed and introduced canada goose coats on sale the atomic bomb?The first blueprint for the weapon https://www.canadagoosejacketsoutsale.com was written in Britain and how the first feasibility studies were carried out at British universities by British scientists. He told how all the data and discoveries were given freely and promptly to the Americans, even before they entered the war, and how in 1941 Winston Churchill established a British A bomb Canada Goose Coats On Sale programme. Then, as the vastly bigger US Manhattan Project got under way after Pearl Harbor, Perrin explained how most of Britain’s top bomb scientists transferred to the United States. Britain and the Atomic Bomb, as Perrin’s hurried summary was entitled, was a valiant flag flying effort and it had some impact on postwar opinion in Britain, but in the wider world it was comprehensively outgunned. Today, besides a few earnest historians, few people anywhere think of the A bomb as anything other than an American creation. ___________________ No one person ‘developed and introduced’ the atomic bomb. Work on a possible atomic bomb ran concurrently in Germany and Britain from the late 1930s onwards. However, it only became viable with the Manhattan Project. buy canada goose jacket
Canada Goose sale How buy canada goose jacket cheap did the US develop the atomic bomb?At the outset of World War 2 there Canada Goose Parka was great fear in the scientific community that Nazi Germany would be the first to develop nuclear weapons. There was no doubt in the minds of physicists, many of whom were refugees from the Nazis, that Hitler would use an atom bomb if he obtained one. Accordingly the United States, Britain and Canada jointly developed the first atomic weapons in what was called the Manhattan Project. Below are related links to Wikipedia articles on this subject, which is likely far too complex to answer in this forum. You can also try Googling “Nuclear Weapons,” and of course you can and should visit your local library. Your librarian will be more than happy to steer you to dozens of books on this subject, which is truly fascinating and at times simply as mind boggling as a nuclear explosion. Another Answer: US developed atomic bomb by setting up a scientific committee to study the issue. The British research so impressed the Americans that they convinced Roosevelt to begin a program to build an atomic bomb. The American program to build an atomic bomb was code named the Manhattan Project. The project’s first breakthrough came in 1942, when Szilard and Enrico Fermi, another physicist, built the world’s first nuclear reactor at the University of Chicago. Groves organized a team of engineers and scientists to build an atomic bomb at a secret laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Canada Goose sale
Was the atomic bomb developed in Manhattan?The atomic bomb was not developed in Manhattan, but was developedby the Manhattan Project. The project was headed by General LeslieR. Groves Jr. with Robert J. Oppenheimer as scientific director andhad several development sites across the United States. The primaryfacilities were Los Alamos, New Mexico, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, andthe Hanford Site in Washington state. The reason the project was named Manhattan Project was that itsoriginal administrative offices were in Manhattan, at the existingUS Army Corps of Engineers offices, until they were relocated toOak cheap Canada Goose Ridge, Tennessee when adequate facilities for such offices hadbeen built. But the name Manhattan stuck (probably partly becauseit made a good “cover”, hiding the purpose/location of the project as the name “Radiation Lab” obscured the project working onRADAR). The completeManhattan Project involves locations in about a dozen differentstates. However the name Manhattan stuck and was also viewed as an idealcover as the project no longer had any connection to Manhattan NYC.
canada goose clearance sale Why did the US develop canada goose uk black friday the atomic bombs?To end WWII without the potential loss of many American militarylives which would have occurred in Japan was invaded. The Japanesemilitary was brainwashed into suicidal acts rather than surrenderto an enemy. Actually the US did NOT develop the atomic bombfor use against Japan, it was canada goose clearance developed to make sure we got itbefore Nazi Germany! If Hitler had gotten nuclear weapons therewould have been no stopping him anywhere! We HAD to try as hard as we buy canada goose jacket could to see that we would have them beforeHitler. By the time canada goose outlet the US had its first atomic bomb Germany had alreadysurrendered. So the motivation for developing it was gone. But thewar wasn’t. The bomb ended up being used on Japan because:. canada goose clearance sale

canada goose deals The planned invasion of Japan scheduled for the end ofSeptember 1945 was projected to take over a year to win and uk canada goose outlet about amillion lives on each side. canada goose deals
Canada Goose Jackets It had already been decided that if during the invasion ofJapan, the Japanese resisted us as fiercely as they had on the lastPacific islands (and there was no reason to assume they wouldn’t),that we would use chemical weapons, a violation of theGeneva Convention; use of the Atomic Bomb offered a possible way toavoid this.

canada goose black friday sale Did the Nazis develop the atomic bomb?The short answer is Yes, the Nazis developed a low yield tactical nuclear weapon with a 5 kilogram warhead and a blast radius of 1200 metres (1.2 kilometres) An American intelligence report dated 15 June 1945 about German Technical Transfer to Japan during WW2, noted the interrogation of Japanese officer who disclosed during 1944 Germany had transferred details of a matchbox sized warhead with a blast radius of 1200 metres. Nazi patents hidden in the personal papers of Dr Walter Trinks detail a warhead using just 150 grams of uranium 233, which would make a marble sized warhead core. Two Nazi scientists General Dr Erich Schumann (nuclear physicist) and Dr Walter Trinks (ballistics Expert) developed 40 patents for a nuclear weapon during WW2 which were later copied or adapted after WW2 by the Americans and the French to create miniaturised or canada goose coats tactical nuclear weapons. In the early 1950s German wartime nuclear physicist Prof Diebner was recruited to teach the US how to create minature nuclear weapons. Schumann was recruited by the French to teach France how to make nuclear weapons. These weapons were entirely different in concept from the nuclear weapons created in the Manhattan project which exploited the concept of natural critical mass. The Nazi nuclear weapons used less than critical mass of Uranium, but used the implosion Canada Goose Jackets of opposed hollow charge explosives to drive a plasma pinch at the fissile core. The plasma pinch was created by the focused explosive compression of superheated Lithium against a 150 gram cheap canada goose uk target of Uranium 233 coated with Lithium Deuteride (heavy Hydrogen). The superheated collision of Deuterium and Lithium sparked a massive release of neutrons which replicated the same neutron flux found in a much larger critical mass of Uranium 235 at the point of criticality similar to the US Little Boy weapon dropped over Hiroshima. The Nazis used Uranium 233 in preference to Uranium 235 because it could be obtained far more easily and inexpensively than enrichment of Uranium 235 or breeding of Plutonium 239, by Canada Goose Online simply bombarding Thorium 232 with artificial radiation. Also the Nazi method using transmutation of Thorium 232 resulted in an extremely high isotopic purity and thus less was required. The method of detonation required much less fissile material again, thus the Nazis had no need for a massive enrichment project on the scale of Oak Ridge and Hanniford River. Artificial radiation was created using cyclotrons and van der graff generators, but from 1943 the Germans also had an advanced particle accelerator which was more like a spherical tokamak. One of these was captured at Burggrub by General Patton’s forces on 14 April 1945 and another was captured at Bisingen at the laboratory of Forschungsstelle D on 22 April 1945. US intelligence reports cite a successful nuclear test explosion on Bug isthmus of Reugen along the Baltic coast on 12 October 1944. In 2005 an Italian war correspondent Luigi Romersa came forward to confirm that he witnessed this test explosion. Further uk canada goose nuclear test explosions are claimed to have happened at Ohrdruf in March 1945. At least one eyewitness Clare Werner came forward in 2005, corroborated by several other sources. A Japanese diplomatic signal from Stockholm sent on 12 December 1944 discusses the use of a German Uranium atom smashing weapon on the Russian front south of Kursk in June 1943 and later during the siege of a German garrison at Sevastapol in early 1944. The Magic decrypt of this signal was declassified in 1979. A US military archivist who worked on destruction of classified wartime files has published claims that he destroyed US held Nazi records detailing the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Pomerania. After the war Lt General Walter Dornberger disclosed to hidden microphones at a British internment camp that Hitler had always intended to use the V 2 rocket with nuclear warheads. Dornberger’s secretly taped conversations were cited in evidence at Nuremberg trials. At Nuremberg German armaments Minister Albert Speer was also questioned about nuclear test blasts at the Orhdruf Concentration camp. Exactly why the British wanted to know about German nuclear test explosions at Nuremberg was never disclosed. On 5 August 1944 Hitler visited Romania’s leader Marshall Antonescu and told him Germany had a Uranium atom smashing weapon of unimaginable destructive force. A month later Romania fell to a revolution and Antonescu gave evidence of Hitler’s disclosure to his soviet interrogators. canada goose black friday sale
Who was the first scientist to develop atomic bomb?The answer most people are looking for is Robert Oppenheimer. But this is incomplete at best. There was a gigantic effort by the US to develop the Atomic Bomb (The Manhattan Project). This project used hundreds of scientist and thousands of people to develop the first Atomic Bomb. The Manhattan Project was implemented by President Franklin Roosevelt in no small part due to two letters sent to him by Albert Einstein. In these letters, Mr. Einstein refers to the work being done by Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard. The Manhattan Project was assigned to General Leslie Groves. He in turn recruited theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer to lead the “army” of scientists in the development of “the gadget” code name for the Atomic Bomb. So, who was the first scientist to develop the Atomic Bomb? Robert Oppenheimer directly led a group of about 100 scientists that developed the first working device. Enrico Fermi was the first to design a theoretical Canada Goose sale device that could be an Atomic Bomb Leo Szilard was the first to propose the feasibility and destructive power of such a device (for the Allies) and warned of the possibility that German scientists may already be working on such a device. Albert Einstein first proposed that enormous amounts of energy could be extracted from just a small amount of matter (e=mc). He also used canada goose clearance sale his fame to get President Roosevelt’s attention to the possibility of an Atomic Bomb. Other scientist that helped develop the groundwork for the bomb are Niels Bohr (Theoretical Physics), Marie Curie (Discovered Radium) and Otto Frisch. Otto Frisch is credited as discovering fission which is the reaction that makes an atomic bomb possible.
canada goose clearance Why didn’t germany develop the atomic bomb?Heisenberg miscalculated the critical mass of U 235 a few orders of magnitude too high. This resulted in a estimated bomb weight canada goose factory sale too heavy for available planes to carry.. canada goose clearance
Graphite was rejected as a reactor moderator due to high neutron capture crosssection, this forced use of more expensive heavy water. Graphite would have worked had they realized problem was boron from process..
canada goose store Some persons in Nazi leadership saw fission as “Jewish physics”.. canada goose store
Canada Goose online After preliminary work project was reduced by Albert Speer to low priority power reactor only project, to be completed after Germany won the war.. Canada Goose online

Spain Soccer World Cup 2018
Adidas Soccer has revealed the brand new federation home kits for eight teams forward of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. CLICK ON BY WAY OF THE GALLERY ABOVE TO SEE THE NEW ADIDAS KIT DESIGNS FOR THE 2018 WORLD CUP. MADRID (AP) — Spain’s jersey for the World Cup has sparked controversy after being linked to the Republican flag of the Thirties. La Rojo’s home shirt pays homage to one of the country’s most well-known shirts, the jersey worn at the 1994 World Cup within the USA.
Germany and Spain’s away kits for this summer time’s FIFA World Cup have both been leaked, as pleasure builds for this summer time’s showcase in Russia. It appeared a reasonably innocuous event: the launch of the official jersey Spain will wear at subsequent summer season’s World Cup in Russia. Curiously, the new Spain residence kit for the World Cup has proved somewhat controversial to the point the place both Adidas and the Spanish soccer authority (RFEF) have been compelled to make statements as a way to quell anger.
Footy Headlines and Todo Sobre Camisetas claims Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Belgium and Russia have all had their Adidas-designed jerseys revealed. A recent tackle their most iconic residence shirt from the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, the brand new Colombia jersey incorporates a blue and red graphic design on the aspect of the kit highlighting the Colombian flag colors while reinterpreting and referencing the design from the 90s.
Adidas have sought inspiration from iconic kits of the past in their most recent design efforts and in Spain’s case, they’ve produced a modern take on the package worn at the 1994 World Cup within the United States. Set for a launch in April 2018, the Adidas Spain 2018 World Cup Tee has a retail worth of forty Euro. With the 2018 World Cup fast approaching, nations who have already booked their tickets to Russia are ensuring they appear the half.
WE’RE getting closer and nearer to football’s pinnacle event — the 2018 World Cup. The 2018 home jersey is a visual homage to one of many nation’s most well-known shirts; the jersey worn on the 1994 World Cup within the USA. Consistently up to date with the most recent available data and leaks, the 2018 World Cup Package Overview is the place see what every group will put on in Russia subsequent 12 months.
Germany will probably be carrying a new Adidas 1990-themed equipment for the World Cup. Belgium and Adidas have actually delved deep into their history to seek out the World Cup 2018 residence design. Adidas will launch a unique Spain lifestyle shirt for the 2018 World Cup inspired by the Adidas Spain 1996 EURO jersey. The World Cup 2018 Spain shirt options an virtually retro design, which is still absolutely bursting with energy.
Inspired by the uniform Spain wore during its 1994 duel with its rivals Italy, this men’s soccer jersey is a model of the home shirt at present’s gamers put on. Spain head to Russia in the summertime of 2018 searching for their second World Cup title and so they have launched an all new equipment for the event. With Nike lastly having launched the brand’s first 2018 World Cup jersey (England & Nigeria), we’ve up to date the 2018 World Cup Kit Overview.
Serbia will make a return after sitting out the 2014 World Cup – the Serbia 2018 World Cup kits are set to be made by Umbro. The England kits for the World Cup haven’t yet been formally revealed but they are going to be produced by Nike and minor alterations are expected. Even Spain’s national soccer group has been unable to keep away from the tense political local weather within the country at the moment, as requires a boycott have been made in response to their new shirt.
The RFEF defined in the meantime that the shirt is impressed by a earlier national group package from the 1994 World Cup, which did certainly characteristic related stripes down the facet. Thus far, only eight Adidas kits have been released from the 23 confirmed teams, with each jersey taking ‘inspiration from iconic previous shirts’. It features a dynamic line graphic design consisting of diamonds in purple, yellow and blue that represents the velocity, energy and elegance of soccer that is develop into so related to the Spain national group.
The shirt options an up to date monochrome model of the old printed graphic, which runs horizontally throughout the chest, and a gold World Cup winner’s badge. Belgium’s new dwelling shirt pays homage to their World Cup 1984 design, featuring pink and yellow argyle patterning across the chest. Boasting a exceptional look that pulls inspiration from the Spain’s EURO 1996 kit, the special Adidas Spain 2018 World Cup tee features remarkable broad Three Stripes that run down the left facet of the shirt.


Bullets are, without a doubt, one of the most common type of ammo. Tiny arms calibers vary from.17 as much as.50. Airguns as well as BB weapons utilize a. 177 quality bullet. 38 Unique Ammunition is just one of one of the most prominent in use in the United States. Despite its name, it’s actually a. 357 quality bullet (the.38″ describes the approximate diameter of the crammed brass situation). Due to the fact that this ammo operates in 357 revolvers, even more shooters are selecting it because of the cost savings and also decreased recoil (in Europe it is understood by its statistics classification 9 × 29mmR).
You could be shocked to find out that individuals from various walks in life are interested in ammo – from bear hunters to permanent specialists in ballistics, forensics, metallurgy, chemistry, and also making self-controls. Obviously, there’s the present as well as former law enforcement and also military professionals. Those not participated in the energetic use of firearms consist of historians (particularly of the Civil War) and also enthusiasts curious about the advancement of ammo, and the impressive variety of imaginative designs that have been tried.
Constructing a collection of militaria and weaponry is some people’s pastime, instead of being active hunters or shooters. Considering that completion of the Second World War a wonderful numerous excess armed forces rifles have actually been imported and sold in the USA. A couple of designs are still being imported as numerous militaries worldwide, particularly in the smaller countries, clean out their book stocks of obsolete rifles.
Hunters favor a series of rifles with the New England Firearms Handi-Rifle being among the most preferred (though it can be tough to resource because of that popularity). New rifles can be rather costly and it deserves your time to check if there are used weapons to buy either online of in your local weapon shops.
Traditionally, when you wanted to purchase ammunition, you ‘d see your local weapon shop. Obviously, nowadays you have the option of getting ammunition available for sale online. However you need to make sure you understand what it is you’re seeking. There’s more to purchasing ammunition online than just looking for the most affordable rates. Other factors should be taken into consideration so you’re certain you’ll get exactly what you require – the sort of ammo you call for is figured out by what you plan to shoot or search.
You additionally require to think about how much ammunition you need. Discover a source, such as army excess ammunition, where you can obtain replacement stocks quickly of the 7mm rem mag ammo very same ammunition so you do not wind up switching types and also needing to head to the target variety to sight in the new ammunition. Zeroing in a rifle takes time and also ammo isn’t that inexpensive, even if you’re getting surplus ammo. So save on your own some time and cash.
Armed forces surplus ammo is, essentially, the ammo that the numerous militaries (Marine Corps, Army as well as Navy) have an excess of. In the past, it also included ammo that soldiers returned residence with when they were discharged, and then later sold. Now, such points are a lot more rigorously managed as well as ammunition and tools need to be restored prior to a soldier leaves army life. Military excess ammunition is among one of the most popular kinds of ammo simply because the expense financial savings are typically pretty respectable when contrasted to the costs provided by searching and also exterior specialized stores as well as even more common big showing off shops.
Surplus ammo isn’t just limited to the U.S. forces, however – it can likewise originate from outside the united state. An example of that is the cartridge first utilized in the SKS carbine by the Soviet Union in the Second World War – the 7.62 x39mm rifle cartridge.

- Effective drug discovery demands the availability of microgram to gram quantities of high-quality protein encoded by novel transcripts. Protein expression vectors designed for large-scale protein production often include one or more specific tags to such transcripts, to simplify the purification of the targeted protein. Optimization of the complex expression and purification process requires the evaluation of multiple expression candidate clones to identify a production-suitable construct in terms of quality and final protein yield. Efficiency of the entire expression screening process is typically assessed by direct visualization of the banding patterns from whole-cell lysates on SDS–PAGE gels, by direct staining and/or immunoblotting, using antibodies against the tag or the protein of interest. These techniques, generally run under denaturing conditions, have proven to be only marginally predictive of the purification yield and authentic folding for native proteins. Small-scale, multiparallel affinity purification followed by SDS–PAGE analysis is more predictive for expression screening; however, this approach is labor intensive and time consuming. Here we describe the development of an alternative expression efficiency assessment technique, designed to evaluate the accessibility of affinity tags expressed with the desired fusion proteins, using acoustic membrane microparticle assay technology on the ViBE protein analysis workstation.

On our trip to Lowe's to pick up our mulch at the beginning of this month, my husband picked up a bag of Pennington Signature Series Weed & Feed 28-0-4 for our lawn. This is not the usual product that we buy but it was on sale of course, regularly $13.98, but now only $9.98, so we couldn't pass it up. We had some dandelions coming up and it's always a race on our block to see which neighbor is the first to have the greenest, weed-free lawn.
This Pennington Signature Series Weed & Feed formula 28-0-4 is a weed control and lawn fertilizer. We purchased the 13 lb. bag which covers 5000 sq. ft., enough for the front lawn.
Fertilizers are primarily made up of three major elements and the formula we purchased was:
28 = 28% of the bag has nitrogen which makes for quick greening and will continue to do so for up to 2 months.
0 = 0% of the bag has phosphorus used for plant development.
4 = 4% of the bag has potassium which helps to build proteins and aids in photosynthesis.
The weatherman called for rain so as soon as we got home my husband poured the granular formula into our spreader and had the lawn done in record time walking back and forth in his quick even tempo. If there's no chance of rain it's recommended to water your lawn by the second day after putting down the weed and feed.
In addition to controlling our dandelions (they kicked the bucket overnight), this weed & feed kills more than 250 weeds, including white clover, plantain, chickweed and many other pesky weeds that can pop up in your lawn. Do remember that most weed and feed products on the market today contain pesticides which can be a possible carcinogen, a high reproductive toxin or linked to endocrine disruption. The chemical 2, 4-D in weed and feed has contributed to an increase in cancer in dogs. Don't let your children or pets play on just fertilized lawns for at least 48 hours after it's been watered.
We've picked up another bag of Pennington Signature Series Weed & Feed for the backyard since it did such a great job on the front lawn, that was good enough for us!

She ignored her own life in favor of doing his bidding — without being asked. She constantly needed to assure herself that she was the most intelligent person in the room, and it would be a dire situation if there was anyone who would challenge that. He would do this only in a drastic situation, and would do this to rebuild trust, so that he could continue to manipulate you and use you some more. The sociopath already knows all about you. It turns out he has a criminal record for a violent crime although he has been very gentle with me and never have I felt he might be violent.

The only exception to this is when his lies are so close to becoming uncovered, he knows that he risks losing you, and he has not yet finished with you for source for supply. In other words, a person with unmet needs is a person that can be more easily manipulated through those unmet needs. It may include anger and violence management, substance abuse treatment and treatment for other mental health conditions. He will make you feel how lucky you are to have met someone as amazing as his smooth dazzling self.
But you will not be aware of this. Like a teenager, the sociopath is demanding masked with charm , and very selfish. He said he was in the process of moving out. As passive as I am I am learning not to be so anymore I had never had anyone so effortlessly make me do things for her like she did. We are both still currently in college, and at the end of those months would be the beginning of the school year again, so the distance would have only been temporary. He was a free spirit.
Make it clear, that you will not change your mind. This could either be the truth, or something they've said so often they think it's the truth. Remain calm when talking to them. This was all over text, so my first reaction was to ask her for a phone call to at least speak to her. Before dating me, she would casually bring up stories about all the different hook-up stories she had and different people she had sex with.
The day I told him I was leaving my husband and moving out he asked me to lunch. But this is not very likely. But sociopaths tend not to have a lot of real friends because of how self-involved they are and how often they hurt people. But if you are so unhappy in your relationship that the idea that they may be a sociopath even occurred to you, consider why. We were seeing each other maybe six weeks when I broke it off.
Thank you for your support. She blames her misfortune on anyone but herself. Be careful: Because a charming people-person isn't necessarily indicative of a sociopath, you should look out for other signs, too. Whilst not a comprehensive list, these traits show that the person you are dating could potentially be a sociopath. His ability to switch to victim mode will make you feel sorry for him.
. They would leave and not take it to heart. When she does, she has trouble maintaining relationships. Every person has an idea of how they want to shape their relationship, and happiness is derived from the measure in which that idea matches reality. And if you leave the problem unchecked, she will make your life a living hell. Will anything you do be appreciated? Dear Stacey, Thank you for your comment.
They blame you for 'not reminding them because you know they are forgetful. Comes on strong and moves fast If you meet someone and they are keen to move the relationship forward fast, be aware. Gaslighting and Crazy-Making Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that targets to destabilize victims and make them question their own sanity or perception by constant lying, denial and contradiction. He treats the person he's dating like a queen so he can get away with sneakily treating her like a pawn. How can you not pay for his food, when you need to eat yourself? Her sociopath boyfriend is going to try to separate her from you.
If the person is lying and accuses you of being a liar, then you could be dealing with a sociopath. It is as the relationship progresses, and after you have introduced him to everyone that is close to you, you start to wonder, when you will meet people that he is close to? If you want your relationship to continue and thrive, that is. Isolation As you become closer and while your narcissistic sociopath is still being sweet, you might willingly begin to isolate yourself and spend more and more time with them, and less time with your own support network, such as family and old friends. One narcissistic sociopath had a very original way to punish his girlfriend: He would imitate self-harm by banging his head against a wall or by burning his own arms with cigarettes. It is as if they do not have the time to make goals in life. I want you to know, that this is common psychopathic behaviour.
They will keep their distance, and from a distance, make small contact with the 'strong' person, to see if they are noticed. But he sells you a good, honest moralistic man, with great prospects it is all a lie. They like to be in control of every situation and are uncomfortable being around other strong people. A failure to maintain eye contact can be a symptom of someone hiding something or being insecure. They could be talking about marriage today and want to break up tomorrow. But the seed of doubt was already planted and I began to be distrustful asking him about his divorce which he swore was filed and would be final around the same time mine would be. You are only responsible for taking care of your needs.

Resonai, an artificial intelligence and augmented reality company, today announced the launch of Vera, a computer vision platform to create intelligent digital twins of any building or physical space. Vera embeds intelligence into the physical environment to enable communication between any device or agent and its environments. With Vera, devices become context aware with unparalleled capabilities in positional tracking & semantic understanding, making them much smarter and more useful.
Building owners and operators can create a very accurate 3D twin of a building, that includes embedded ‘intelligence” which understands the space, can navigate through it, applies logic and continuously learns from the surroundings. Using the Vera platform, developers can create scalable AR applications with new functionality not previously possible.
“Resonai is introducing a paradigm shift in spatial computing. By solving some of the most critical challenges in computer vision and spatial embedded AI, we can now transform any physical environment into an Intelligent digital space, that communicates and synchronizes data across devices,” said Emil Alon, CEO and Founder of Resonai. “For the commercial real estate industry, this means a new way to interact with physical spaces to solve real business issues, and will unlock a whole new asset class: Digital Real Estate.”
In the commercial real estate market, Vera applications are being used across the building life cycle. Vera Apps for Maintenance & Operations of buildings, that combine indoor search and navigation, smart ticketing systems, AR tutorials for devices, preventive maintenance tools, access control systems and vision based IoT controllers, are demonstrating strong ROI.
“We operate one of the largest growing trade markets in the world and implementing Vera apps has been crucial to increasing tenant satisfaction & decreasing maintenance & operations costs,” said Alisa Zhukova, Deputy General Manager, Moscow Trade Center. “With the security app we can now control who has access and where access is granted, while the Smart ticketing / Navigation app allows tenants to easily report problems on their mobile phones, while technicians receive navigation instructions to the problem, relevant data and can even see ‘behind walls’ to make repairs.”
By converting their physical spaces into digital assets, building owner/operators also create and control a new type of Digital Real Estate with new monetization possibilities such as advertising and promotions, that are expected to outpace the monetization of physical properties in the future.
Vera Apps can be leveraged for multiple applications including Employee Onboarding & Training and to create unique brand experiences in retail stores, with unparalleled access to user behavior data. Resonai plans to continue to work with developers to create new applications and AR experiences that will address additional markets and use cases, with the goal of creating seamless interactions between the real and digital worlds.

|Part of the Sit-in movement|
in the Civil Rights Movement
|Date||February 1 – July 25, 1960 |
(5 months, 3 weeks and 3 days)
The Greensboro sit-ins were a series of nonviolent protests in February to July 1960, primarily in the Woolworth store—now the International Civil Rights Center and Museum—in Greensboro, North Carolina, which led to the F. W. Woolworth Company department store chain removing its policy of racial segregation in the Southern United States. While not the first sit-in of the civil rights movement, the Greensboro sit-ins were an instrumental action, and also the best-known sit-ins of the civil rights movement. They are considered a catalyst to the subsequent sit-in movement, in which 70,000 people participated. This sit-in was a contributing factor in the formation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Main article: Sit-in movement
In August 1939, African-American attorney Samuel Wilbert Tucker organized the Alexandria Library sit-in in Virginia (now the Alexandria Black History Museum). In 1942, the Congress of Racial Equality sponsored sit-ins in Chicago, as they did in St. Louis in 1949 and Baltimore in 1952. College students led a successful 1955 sit-in at Read's Drug Store in Baltimore, but the event received less widespread attention than the Greensboro sit-ins. The Dockum Drug Store sit-in in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas, was successful in ending segregation at every Dockum Drug Store in Kansas and the Katz Drug Store sit-in in Oklahoma City the same year led the Katz Drug Stores to end its segregation policy. Like the Greensboro sit-ins, the participants in the two 1958 sit-ins employed a similar strategy and sought to desegregate store lunch counters. Between 1958 and 1964, Oklahoma City would serve as a hotspot for sit-ins.
The Greensboro Four (as they would soon be known) were Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr., and David Richmond, all young black students at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in their freshman year who often met in their dorm rooms to discuss what they could do to stand against segregation. They were inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. and his practice of nonviolent protest, and specifically wanted to change the segregational policies of F. W. Woolworth Company in Greensboro, North Carolina. During Christmas vacation of 1959, McNeil attempted to buy a hot dog at the Greensboro Greyhound Lines bus station, but was refused service. Shortly thereafter, the four men decided that it was time to take action against segregation. They came up with a simple plan: they would occupy seats at the local F. W. Woolworth Company store, ask to be served, and when they were inevitably denied service, they would not leave. They would repeat this process every day for as long as it would take. Their goal was to attract widespread media attention to the issue, forcing Woolworth to implement desegregation.
On February 1, 1960, at 4:30 pm ET, the four sat down at the 66-seat L-shaped stainless steel lunch counter inside the F. W. Woolworth Company store at 132 South Elm Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. The men, Ezell Blair Jr., David Richmond, Franklin McCain and Joseph McNeil, who would become known as the A&T Four or the Greensboro Four, had purchased toothpaste and other products from a desegregated counter at the store with no problems, but were then refused service at the store's lunch counter when they each asked for a cup of coffee and a donut with cream on the side. According to a witness, a white waitress told the boys "We don't serve Negroes here". Blair responded that he was just served 2 feet away, to which the waitress replied "Negroes eat at the other end". An African-American girl who was cleaning behind the counter called them "stupid, ignorant, rabble-rousers, troublemakers". Another African-American told them, "You're just hurting race relations by sitting there". However, an elderly white woman told them, "I am just so proud of you. My only regret is that you didn't do this ten or fifteen years ago". Store manager Clarence Harris asked them to leave, and, when they would not budge, called his supervisor, who told him, "They'll soon give up, leave and be forgotten". Harris allowed the students to stay and did not call police to evict them. The four freshmen stayed until the store closed that night, and then went back to the North Carolina A&T University campus, where they recruited more students to join them the next morning.
The next day, on February 2, 1960, more than twenty black students (including four women), recruited from other campus groups, joined the sit-in. This group sat with school work to stay busy from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The group was again refused service, and were harassed by the white customers at the Woolworth store. However, the sit-ins made local news on the second day, with reporters, a TV cameraman and police officers present throughout the day. Back on campus that night, the Student Executive Committee for Justice was organized, and the committee sent a letter asking the president of F.W. Woolworth to "take a firm stand to eliminate discrimination." Upon hearing of the sit-ins, the president of the college, Warmoth T. Gibbs, remarked that Woolworth's "did not have the reputation for fine food". The students wrote the following letter to the president of Woolworth's:
Dear Mr. President: We the undersigned are students at the Negro college in the city of Greensboro. Time and time again we have gone into Woolworth stores in Greensboro. We have bought thousands of items at the hundreds of counters in your stores. Our money was accepted without rancor or discrimination, and with politeness towards us, when at a long counter just three feet away our money is not acceptable because of the colour of our skins...... We are asking your company to take a firm stand to eliminate discrimination. We firmly believe that God will give you courage and guidance in solving the problem. Sincerely Yours, Student Executive Committee
On February 3, 1960, the number grew to over 60, including students from Dudley High School. An estimated one third of the protesters were women, many of them students from Bennett College, a historically black women's college in Greensboro. White customers heckled the black students, who read books and studied, while the lunch counter staff continued to refuse service. North Carolina's official chaplain of the Ku Klux Klan (Kludd), George Dorsett, as well as other members of the Klan, were present. The F.W. Woolworth national headquarters said that the company would "abide by local custom" and maintain its segregation policy.
On February 4, 1960, more than 300 people took part. The group now included students from North Carolina A&T University, Bennett College, and Dudley High School, and they filled the entire seating area at the lunch counter. Three white female students from the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina (now University of North Carolina at Greensboro), Genie Seaman, Marilyn Lott, and Ann Dearsley, also joined the protest. Organizers agreed to expand the sit-in protests to include the lunch counter at Greensboro's S. H. Kress & Co. store that day. Students, college administrators, and representatives from F.W. Woolworth and Kress met to discuss, but with the stores' refusal to integrate, the meeting was not resolved.
On February 5, 1960, a high tension environment at the Woolworth counter emerged when 50 white men sat at the counter, in opposition to the protesters, which now included white college students. Again, more than 300 were at the store by 3:00 pm, at which time the police removed two young white customers for swearing and yelling, and then police arrested three white patrons before the store closed at 5:30 pm. Another meeting between students, college officials, and store representatives took place, and again there was no resolution. The store representatives were frustrated that only certain segregated stores were being protested, and asked for intervention by the college administrators, while some administrators suggested a temporary closure of the counters.
On Saturday, February 6, 1960, over 1,400 North Carolina A&T students met in the Richard B. Harrison Auditorium on campus. They voted to continue the protests and went to the Woolworth store, filling up the store. More than 1,000 protesters and counter-protesters packed themselves into the store by noon. Around 1 pm, a bomb threat set for 1:30 pm was delivered by call to the store, causing the protesters to head to the Kress store, which immediately closed, along with the Woolworth store.
On March 16, 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower expressed his concern for those who were fighting for their human and civil rights, saying that he was "deeply sympathetic with the efforts of any group to enjoy the rights of equality that they are guaranteed by the Constitution."
The sit-in movement then spread to other Southern cities, including Winston-Salem, Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Richmond, Virginia, and Lexington, Kentucky. In Nashville, Tennessee, students of the Nashville Student Movement were trained by civil rights activist James Lawson and had already started the sit-in process when Greensboro occurred. The Nashville sit-ins attained desegregation of the downtown department store lunch counters in May 1960. Most of these protests were peaceful, but there were instances of violence. In Chattanooga, Tennessee, tensions rose between blacks and whites and fights broke out. In Jackson, Mississippi, students from Tougaloo College staged a sit-in on May 28, 1963, recounted in the autobiography of Anne Moody, a participant. In Coming of Age in Mississippi, Moody describes their treatment from whites who were at the counter when they sat down, the formation of the mob in the store and how they managed finally to leave. The sit-ins spread to other forms of public accommodation, including transport facilities, swimming pools, lunch counters, libraries, art galleries, parks and beaches and museums, primarily in the South.
As the sit-ins continued, tensions started growing in Greensboro. Students began a far-reaching boycott of stores with segregated lunch counters. Sales at the boycotted stores dropped by a third, leading their owners to abandon segregation policies. On Monday, July 25, 1960, after nearly $200,000 in losses ($2 million in 2022 dollars), and a reduction in salary for not meeting sales goals, store manager Clarence Harris asked four black employees, Geneva Tisdale, Susie Morrison, Anetha Jones, and Charles Bess, to change out of their work clothes and order a meal at the counter. They were, quietly, the first to be served at a Woolworth lunch counter. Most stores were soon desegregated, though in Jackson, Tennessee, Woolworth's continued to be segregated until around 1965, despite multiple protests.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 mandated desegregation in public accommodations.
The International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro contains the lunch counter, except for several seats which the museum donated to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in 2016 and a four-seat portion of the lunch counter acquired by the Smithsonian Institution in 1993, displayed in the National Museum of American History.
In 1990, the street south of the site was renamed February One Place, in commemoration of the date of the first Greensboro sit-in.
In 2002, the February One monument and sculpture by James Barnhill, depicting the Greensboro Four, was erected on North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University's campus.
On February 1, 2020, Google showed a Google Doodle of a diorama made by Karen Collins to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-in.
On April 12, 2022, the Guilford County Board of Education voted to rename The Middle College at N.C. A&T, a high school for boys on the N.C. A&T campus, "A&T Four Middle College at North Carolina A&T State University" effective July 1, 2022.

1992, USA, 135 minutes
directed by David Lynch, written by David Lynch & Robert Engels

Fri: 10:20, Watch The Trailer!
Few of [Lynch's] movies are as pungently atmospheric and bleak as this one. But if Fire Walk With Me is among his messiest in terms of execution, in retrospect we can see how the film serves as a bridge between his '80s examinations of small-town oddness (Blue Velvet, the Twin Peaks series) and his later explorations of imperiled female protagonists (Mulholland Dr., Inland Empire).

directed by Quentin Tarantino, written for the screen by Quentin Tarantino based on a novel by Elmore Leonard
starring Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro
9:30, Watch The Trailer!
4 Stars - This is the movie that proves Tarantino is the real thing, and not just a two-film wonder boy. It's not a retread of "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction," but a new film in a new style, and it evokes the particular magic of Elmore Leonard--who elevates the crime novel to a form of sociological comedy.- Roger Ebert
Director Quentin Tarantino's first full-length feature after 1994's phenomenally successful Pulp Fiction is every bit in the same class as his previous two films, and cements his status as a director of genuine style, intelligence and, in this case, warmth.- All Movie
Wednesday & Thursday April 14 & 15

Nominated For Two Academy Awards including Best Score Jerry Goldsmith
Milius puts dialogue in the mouths of his actors that sends chills down the spine when one is reminded that history is more or less repeating itself.- All Movie Guide
By turns amusing, compelling, and utterly preposterous, it remains an entertaining and surprisingly relevant film for our time.

Thousands of people have seen their homes and properties damaged in the 5.9 earthquake that struck Khoy and surrounding villages on January 29.
Families have been housed in temporary accommodation in the region while government authorities have dispatched medical workers, food and other necessities to the quake-hit city.
Speaking in a camp hosting families affected by the quake, Raisi said the government has a duty to solve the problems of the people in Khoy.
Raisi said he decided to personally visit the quake-hit areas in Khoy after being briefed about the situation in the region by senior government and local officials.
He urged people not to pay attention to rumors being distributed about the situation in Khoy and said that the government will continue its relief operation in the area until normalcy is restored.

This is a very special edition of the Anjunabeats radio show. It’s episode 300, quite the milestone for the young label. And to celebrate, they give us 4 hours of beautiful trance and progressive house (real progressive house…not commercial shit). This is a shining example of what made Ralphy and I both fall in love with this label and its extremely robust arsenal of young, talented producers like these 4 bros. Each plays a one hour mix in this episode, so sit back and enjoy the ride.
Ralphy previewed this collaboration a couple weeks ago, and it’s now released in full HQ format via Armind (Armada) Records and available on Beatport. If you didn’t know prior to this, Arty is next level. His production skills are way beyond his years. Teaming up with a legend in BT and the gorgeous vocal prowess of Nadia Ali, he has produced an elegant trance track that will appeal to the masses and help educate them on the future of the genre.
This is easily the most massive remix package I have ever seen. Features remixes from some of the best in the world. I have also included a few unofficial ones. There is something for everyone here. Listed in order of my preference. Enjoy!
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (Deniz Koyu Remix) - Beatport Link - $$$$$ – The most played remix at Tomorrowland and for good reason. Koyu got skills. Stadium stuff.
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (A-Trak & Clockwork Remix) – Beatport Link - $$$$$ Prime vocal sampling, superb buildup, dope drops, and overall great bouncy festival feel.
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (Armin Van Buuren Remix) - Beatport Link - $$$$ – The king of trance throws his hat into the mix and shows that he is still very much relevant. Great melodies and synth buildup followed by an epic trance drop. Loooooove.
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (Gregori Klosman & Tristan Garner Knights Remix) - Beatport Link - $$$ – Darker side of progressive house. The boys from France get naughty with this one. Their individual styles compliment each other perfectly.
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (Congorock Remix) - Beatport Link - $$$ Unique melodic buildup into and really sick drop. This one will take you to a play called “Full Retard.” Heard it’s pretty fun.
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (Monsta Remix) - Beatport Link - $$ Not my style, but if you like ze wompage, here is the only dubstep remix on the official EP. Real heavy dub. Sounds like a video game at some points.
Unofficial Remixes / Bootlegs:
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (KDrew Remix) – $$$$$ By far the best dubstep remix available right now. KDrew has been sending us stuff for awhile. Might just have to do a spotlight on him. Kid has some serious skills in the studio.
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (Jakob Liedholm Bootleg) – $$$$$ That swedish sound baby. Love this 15yr old prodigy. Everything he puts out seems to be magic. Can’t help but think this is what the SHM or Alesso remix would sound like. Very anthemic.
Zedd feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (3LAU Remix) - $$$$ Quite good. Gorgeous melodic buildups and powerful synths. Great feel good track. 3LAU ain’t just a mashup guy anymore. Props bro. Keep it up!
Ok. Now it’s time for ID Festival. Probably the best possible way I could spend my last day in Atlanta. Ready for that Pryda education? I sure am.
W&W are among my favorite trance artists. This track is one that crossed the boundaries of progressive house and trance. It is ridiculously large in scope, is equipt with a gorgeous lead melody that takes numerous forms over the course of the track’s journal into your ears and out your heart. Big big fan of this one. Oh, and russian girls.
Trance is alive.
All of these are must haves for all the serious trance fans out there. They are in order from soft to hard…in case that interests you.
Another phenomenal production from Arty. This time he teams up with a legend, Paul Van Dyk, and together they produce an absurdly complex and euphoric track. Arty is continuing to separate himself from the masses of up-and-coming artist. He has talent far beyond his years and is on his way to becoming one of the most revered producers in house music. Oh, and if you haven’t seen him live…its magical. Probably better than sex actually…but for real, depending on the encounter, an Arty show is probably better. Along with guys like Mat Zo, Andrew Bayer, Arty is leading the way in a new state of trance.

On January 26th, 2021, Kelly Schrank, an Associate Fellow of the Society for Technical Communication (STC) and a technical writer and editor with over 20 years of experience in different industries, presented the “Engineering Your Networking Experience” webinar for STC. The purpose of the webinar was to describe how to network effectively and to present tips for people with introverted personalities to connect with other people at networking events.
To introduce the webinar, Schrank made an analogy suggesting that people should think about networking the same way they think about their jobs. People often face challenges at work that make it unlikely that they would consistently enjoy their jobs every day. Similarly, most people do not always enjoy networking; however, just as people stick to a job because of pay, benefits, opportunities to gain experience, job satisfaction, and other reasons, they network to reap its benefits.
Schrank quoted the Dictionary.com definition of networking: “a supportive system of sharing information and services among individuals and groups having a common interest” (Dictionary.com, n.d.). People network to build relationships, to learn from other people they meet, and to share ideas. What is important to remember is that networking is not transactional, and to succeed at it, attendees must be relational with each other and not use each other as a means to an end. For example, simply asking a stranger for a job would be detrimental to building a relationship with that person.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) has dropped sharply to $329 on BTC-e, its lowest point in six weeks.
It has broken through its short-term support point of $339, which had been repeatedly tested during the previous 72 hours. As assessed, any meaningful breach would send BTC to fresh lows.
TrioMarkets Partners with HokoCloud, Expands its Portfolio with Social TradingGo to article >>
During the past 48 hours, there has been a noticeable uptick in volume, and with it, a departure from the highly flat behavior and a signal for resumption of larger moves in the market. BTC jumped as high as $348 on volume exceeding 1000 BTC/hour, only to return to what had been a tight range of stability in the low $340’s. With the downward momentum already in place, BTC dropped by 3% during the past 8 hours. Volume averaged 250 BTC/hour during the drop, which while average these days, was a sharp increase from that observed over the weekend.
The recent slump coincides with declines in global equity and commodity markets, in tandem with a strengthening US dollar, though such moves aren’t always necessarily correlated.
Prices on BTC-e are about $5.50 (1.7%) off from those on its peers, slightly above average.

Three new tales from the world of Ethöes… CONQUER THE CASTLEJahrra and her friends are about to embark upon a very important mission: to steal the flag of their nemesis, Eydeth, in a city-wide game of Conquer the Castle. Will they be able to outwit their other classmates in order to win the grand prize, or will the twins once again make Jahrra the laughing stock of the whole school? THE SPIRIT STONE RINGThe Mystic Archedenaeh has found reason to leave the comfort of her forest home in the province of Oescienne. Before she can move on, however, she must first verify a rumor she has heard, but all she discovers is a treasured ring left behind as a bitter reminder of the truth. FIRE AND ICEThe Tanaan dragon Jaax and his colleagues are called upon to save a small town from the wrath of one of the Crimson King’s evil dragons. In the process, Jaax receives a minor injury, a nagging reminder of his failure that soon becomes the symbol of another’s triumph. Read more
An epic fantasy book for kids and adults alike, featuring dragon guardians, magical creatures, and a young girl destined for adventure: Harry Potter meets Eragon. “A remarkable dragon story for young adults and teens. If you enjoy the Eragon book series by Christopher Paolini, you’ll love this series!!” ★★★★★ “An intriguing fantasy adventure. The characters are well-created, and the plot is complex and interesting. Readers who like fantasy, mystery, adventure, and dragons will enjoy reading THE FINDING.” ★★★★★ “This is an excellent epic fantasy about a prophecy, a human girl, and dragons.” ★★★★★ When the dragon Jaax receives word that a human infant has been found in the province of Oescienne, he doesn’t dare believe it. Humans have been extinct for centuries, trapped by a terrible curse and left to live out their existence in the form of dragons. Despite his doubts, however, Jaax assumes responsibility for the baby girl only to discover that what he has been seeking for so many years has finally been found. Jahrra knows all about the legends and sagas of Oescienne, but never in her wildest dreams would she believe that she played a part in one of them. She is far too busy dodging the bullies at school and seeking out new adventures with her friends to worry about what secrets her dragon mentor might be keeping from her, or that her every move is being watched by something living in the forest surrounding her home. But the secrets run deep, and as Jahrra fights to earn her place in this extraordinary world, she will begin to unravel the truth of it all: that she isn’t as safe as she thought she was, that danger lurks around every corner, and that her role in this unfurling tale is far more significant than she could possibly imagine.

That is, until the mysterious Cade MacRoich shows up out of nowhere with an explanation of his own.

Let illegal workers stay in Canada, MPs urge
The Globe and Mail
The House of Commons committee on citizenship and immigration is calling on the government to halt deportations of all undocumented workers while a new immigration policy is put in place.
However, Conservative MP Ed Komarnicki filed a lengthy dissenting report, noting that “there was no consensus of the members of the committee” and that a moratorium could encourage lawbreakers and compromise the integrity of Canada's immigration program.
Mr. Komarnicki, and three other Conservative MPs who sit on the committee, say the June 21 motion was premature and there has been “absolutely no effort” by the committee to hear from witnesses on this controversial subject.
There are about 200,000 undocumented workers in Canada. The deportation of people without work papers — many of whom are employed in the construction industry — recently became a high-profile issue when members of the Portuguese community, some MPs, construction unions and other advocates called on Ottawa to halt all removals. They argued that blue-collar workers are needed to fill construction jobs, and don't qualify to enter under Canada's skilled-worker program, which favours academic qualifications.
The Canadian Border Services Agency is on track to remove about 10,000 people this year.
Immigration Minister Monte Solberg does not support an amnesty, but has said he is exploring ways to make Canada's immigration program more responsive to labour market needs.
Former Liberal immigration minister Joe Volpe backed a proposal to regularize the status of undocumented workers. But Mr. Komarnicki noted that no opposition party made it a commitment in the past election campaign.
Andy Manahan, spokesman for Universal Workers' Union, called the motion a good first step.

A business plan is a written document that describes in detail how a business—usually a startup —defines its objectives and how it is to go about achieving its goals. A business plan lays out a written roadmap for the firm from marketing , financial, and operational standpoints. Business plans are important documents used to attract investment before a company has established a proven track record. They are also a good way for companies to keep themselves on target going forward. Although they're especially useful for new businesses, every company should have a business plan. Ideally, the plan is reviewed and updated periodically to see if goals have been met or have changed and evolved.
What Are the Differences Between a Startup & Operating Budget?
Business Plan Definition
Business expenses are the cost of carrying on a trade or business. These expenses are usually deductible if the business operates to make a profit. Note: If you do not carry on the activity to make a profit, you must report all of the gross income without deductions from the activity on Form or SR, line Special limits apply to what expenses for a not-for-profit activity are deductible; for detailed information, refer to Publication , Business Expenses. To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your trade or business.
Business Plan Basics
A simple coffee shop business plan can help you get your business off the ground by following a standard layout consisting of a single document divided into several sections. Included should be a description of the organization, market research , competitive analysis , sales strategies , capital , and labor requirements and financial data. Business plans range from a few pages to hundreds of pages long depending on the size and scope of the business. For a relatively small business like a coffee shop, it is best to be succinct and keep the plan to 30 pages or less, especially if you intend to submit it to bankers or investors for debt or equity financing. Potential investors want to see solid research and analysis presented in a concise form.
A business plan is a document describing the start-up costs and operating expenses of a new business. True or False. Search for an answer or ask Weegy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Annika, 14 Jun. 2011
Really great to see this again, I have been waiting for this to be released for ages.
Although last time I saw this I was a teenager I was not disappointed now due to overly rosy memories, I was just reminded why it had appealed to me so much then. Great story, great casting, great atmosphere.
It really is good!
