How Much do Alligator Snapping Turtles Cost? The alligator snapping turtle is one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world and is very distinguishable from other types of turtles: They have large heads with a strong, beak-like jaws and spiky ridges running along their shells. Because of this primitive-like appearance, these turtles are usually associated with dinosaurs. Although they are most at home in deep, muddy holes in the rivers and streams, they can adapt to different environments since they are amphibians. These amazing creatures can be found anywhere from Georgia to Indiana.

Tag Archives: missiles Iran May Have Missiles To Reach Europe–So What? A new report indicates Iran will have a capability by 2014 of sending missiles into Europe and within a decade would be able to hit the shores of the United States of America. The International Institute for Strategic Studies(IISS) forecasts this development because Iran was making robust strides in developing ballistic missiles even as it furthers its nuclear capabilities. IISS studies suggest the two programs may well be intertwined in order to produce an Iran which could threaten the world. There is growing evidence Iran will soon have the capacity to field intermediate-range missiles. So, what does this mean for the world. If one takes the worst case scenario and Iran fired a missile toward Europe, the response by France and England (most probably also joined by Israel) would be a devastating attack on Iranian cities that would destroy a good part of its infrastructure and create millions of people seeking refuge from these attacks. It would be madness on the part of Iranian leaders to fire missiles anywhere knowing full well, Europe, the United States and Israel had the capacity to level the nation of Iran. At best, they could only hope for a one shot attack before destruction visited their nation. Granted, there are Muslim leaders who seek to visit Heaven, but would they wish that upon their nation? Iran Continues Missile Development The firing of still another advanced Iranian missile has angered nations in Europe and the United States. Iran’s Defense Ministry noted its Sajjil-2 missile may have a capability of going anywhere from 1200 to 2,000 miles and could hit areas in Europe as well as in Israel. The missile is supposedly more accurate than predecessor weapons. Iranian General Vahidi told his nation’s television audience, “given its high speed, it is impossible to destroy the missile with anti-missile systems because of its radar evading ability.” The firing of the missile, together with the tough stand of the Ahmadinejad government, suggests there will be no compromise with the West about its nuclear development program. Karim Sadjadpour, a leading expert on Iran, says the missile is simply an Iranian reaction to being pressured by the West. The conservative media is filled with claims that Iran will soon be sending missiles headed towards Europe, and, one day, towards America. The sky is not falling. Yes, Iran can send missiles to other nations, but for every Iranian missile the West possesses a hundred of its own. Any Iranian missile attack would result in the destruction of the entire nation of Iran and its leaders have enough sense to realize it is one thing to threaten, but another to act on the threat. War Of Words Or War Of Guns With Iran? The legacy of George Bush will extend into the coming decade and nowhere is this more evident than the situation between Western powers and Iran. In 2001 and 2002 there was an opportunity for America to establish close ties with the reform Iran government of President Khatami but Bush blew the opportunity by blasting Iran as part of the “axis of Evil.” Today, a crazy man heads Iran and Ahmadinejad is threatening missile strikes if anyone intrudes on the sovereignty of his nation. On Friday, Iran flaunted its power by firing advanced long-range missiles capable of hitting Israel. Ahmadinejad is out to prove he is tough. He is a bully. Some European nations argue an embargo of refined oil will hurt the Iranian population. This is not a reason to hold back, the Iranian population without any embargo is being hurt and its liberties ripped apart by a man who wants power. Short term suffering is well worth the opportunity to compel Iranian leaders to come to the bargaining table. This is not the time to lack courage to focus on long term interests of the Iranian people. North Korea Threatens Missiles-Is It A Serious Threat? What’s Going On In North Korea? Is North Korea For Real? Can US Knock Down North Korean Missiles? Missiles And Missiles- What About Them? Almost two decades ago when the Soviet Union collapsed, there was hope it also marked the end of concern about missile attacks, but recent events suggest, old fears have become new ones. Iran launched what was considered to be a successful missile which went over one thousand miles, a sufficient distance to impact either Europe or Israel. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates noted it was still unclear if the missile actually hit an intended target. At the same time, President Obama and Gates were debating the need to pursue George Bush’s idea for a missile defense system in eastern Europe which is strongly opposed by Russia. The Czech Republic government which agreed to cooperate on a missile system has fallen and most opinion polls indicate most Czechs do not want to have anything to do with missile systems in their nation. The intelligent process is to invite Russia to become partners in an anti-missile system that protects it from attack as well as Europe. Of course, why would Iran launch a missile attack knowing full well it would result in a barrage of missiles pounding its own country? North Korea Continues Its Mysterious Ways The ever mysterious machinations of North Korean leaders at times come across as simply a desire to keep the world confused concerning exactly what is going on up north. The Japanese newspaper, Sankei Shimbun reveals North Korea will launch a satellite into orbit with the assistance of a team of experts from Iran. American and South Korean Intelligence sources believe the North Koreans are going to launch a middle range ballistic missile. It is assumed the missile will be a veiled warning to the United Nations and anyone else that North Korean will not accept sanctions and intends to do as it pleases. The presence of Iranian missile experts is only bound to increase tension both in the Middle East and in Asia. At some point, the world has to engage Iran in meaningful dialogue concerning the need to reduce missiles and nuclear development. All too often these days the road to peace lies through Tehran. Sarkozy Puts Thumbs Down On Bush Missile Plan President Bush has insisted for over a year there is need for a missile defense system in Poland to protect Europe against missiles from “rogue” nations like Iran or North Korea. Of course, North Korea is presently cooperating with the world on its nuclear development and Iran, as of this date, has no missiles, and certainly no plans to send any to Europe. President Nicolas Sarkozy, at a meeting with President Medvedev who is upset at missiles being stationed on his border, told the Russian leader of his misgivings about the missile system. “Deployment of a missile defense system would bring nothing to security… it would complicate things and would make them move backward.” His remarks came after a week in which Medvedev warned about the possibility of deploying Russian missiles to the border of Poland. Sarkozy is the current president of the European Union and is concerned that Bush plans only would result in furthering hostility in Europe. “We could continue between Europe and Russia to threaten each other with shields, with missiles, with navies. It would do Russia no good, Georgia no good, and Europe no good.” Hopefully, newly elected president Obama will sit down with Sarkozy and get his take on the situation rather than listening to the crazy ideas of George Bush.	<urn:uuid:506a4205-bd6d-4a4e-b088-f9eb806c99a2>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.04335266351699829, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9641451239585876, "url": "http://theimpudentobserver.com/tag/missiles/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs5-287381908", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_05_of_10/part.355.parquet" }
Monday, May 4, 2009 Annals of enviro-hypocrisy, chapter 1,823: The Edge wants to build five 10,000 square foot "green" mansions on one Malibu property. Seriously. The Edge wants to build five 10,000-square-foot mansions on his pristine Malibu property (complete with a new mountain access road dug for them). (Why do you need five mansions? I guess one for you, and the other five for guests? Or maybe to house hundreds of displaced families from Darfur?) And he's trying to claim it's a green effort. No word on whether he's also building a landing strip for his private jet there. "The project...calls for a cluster of five, 10,000-square-foot homes. The two-story, earth-toned dwellings would be the maximum size allowed in areas designated as environmentally sensitive habitat. Renderings show organic design features such as a pool that encircles one home like a moat. Another house would wrap around an existing pile of boulders while The Edge's own dwelling would feature curved roof lines to simulate leaves." He says the houses will all be gold LEED certified. The only problem is that the houses are too big, about five times too big, to receive LEED certification. What he's doing defeats the entire purpose of green building.

Who is the Greek god of doctors? Is Dr Who a God? Plenty of one-shot characters have sacrificed their lives to the Doctor too. So the Doctor has the powers of a god, and he is (functionally at least) worshiped as a god. So he is, basically, a god. Who is the scariest Greek god? In Classical Greek mythology, Phobos is more of a personification of the fear brought by war and does not appear as a character in any myths. In Roman mythology, he has also been referred to as Pavor or Terror. Who killed Zeus in Greek mythology? No one killed Zeus as Zeus is a greek god and Gods are immortal. So it is impossible to kill a God but there significance can be destroyed by destroying the element from which they are connected to.. For eg Zeus’s significance is thunder or lightning.. Did Apollo kill Asclepius mother? Phoenician tradition maintains that Asclepius was born of Apollo without any woman involved. According to the Roman version, Apollo, having learned about Coronis’ betrayal with the mortal Ischys through his raven, killed her with his arrows.

Friday, February 28, 2014 Support the Troops – Let Them Treat PTSD with Cannabis Alex Pietrowski Activist Post It’s a tough time to be a US military veteran. Not only is there no end in sight for US foreign interventions, but the economy here at home is in terrible shape, veterans are seeing record numbers of suicides, extremely high levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), nearly a million US vets are on food stamps, and to make matters worse, veteran’s benefits are being cut by the Federal government, again. On top of this, it appears that the US Public Health Service (PHS) is stone-walling legitimate and legal efforts by the FDA and the University of Arizona to study how the natural medicine Cannabis may be of significant value in treating PTSD. PTSD is considered a life-threatening illness, as people suffering from PTSD are at increased risk of homelessness, drug abuse and alcoholism, and are more likely to commit suicide. Cannabis has, in recent years, gained tremendous popular and legal support as both a valid a medicine for many physical and psychological ailments, and recreational substance for the general public. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a non-profit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana has recently issued an alert that the US Public Health Service (PHS) is blocking a study on the benefits of Cannabis as an effective and natural treatment for PTSD. Arguing for years that psychedelic medicines have profound and scientifically validated healing effects for psychological problems associated with combat, MAPS is calling on the public for support in their efforts to pursue further research in this area: A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and University of Arizona Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved protocol for a study of marijuana for symptoms of PTSD in U.S. veterans, sponsored by the non-profit Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), has been on hold for over 3½ months, as researchers wait for the PHS to respond to their request to purchase marijuana for the study. MAPS goes on to clarify the matter further in a recent press release: Thousands of veterans and other medical marijuana patients nationwide use marijuana to treat symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) is blocking researchers who are seeking to learn more about the risks and benefits of the treatment… MAPS notes that this study could provide doctors with more options for treating PTSD patients who’ve “been unresponsive to traditional therapies,” says Rick Doblin, Ph.D., Executive Director of MAPS. The bulletin offers insight into the role the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is playing in the effort to prevent this research that aims to directly benefit our nation’s most affected ex-soldiers, while citing conflicting policies regarding the clinical research of Schedule I drugs, which includes Cannabis. MAPS resubmitted a revised protocol on Oct. 24, 2013, after the original protocol was rejected by the PHS in September, 2011. Unfortunately, unlike the FDA, which must respond to submissions within 30 days of receiving them, the PHS has no such time limit. Meanwhile, the PHS is successfully preventing FDA and IRB-approved research from taking place. “The stifling of medical research on marijuana stands in the way of our vets returning to a normal life,” says Dr. Sue Sisley, who would lead the study. Other research into this area has already concluded that Cannabis is indeed a potent and effective medicine for reducing the negative long-term affects associated with combat stress: Another fascinating discovery, one with implications for PTSD, is that the cannabinoid system is integrally related to memory, specifically to memory extinction. Memory extinction is the normal, healthy process of removing associations from stimuli. [Source] Cannabis is available in some states for the treatment of PTSD; however, “many states still do not count PTSD as a disorder that warrants a medical marijuana card. Because of this, veterans are seeking other legal and non-legal ways to procure weed,” writes Thor Benson of Vice. Veterans should not, in any state, have to risk breaking the law in search for relief from a psychological condition incurred while directly serving the US government. The fact that the government would prevent research of a natural medicine for the cure of PTSD speaks volumes about our government’s overall lack of interest in a genuine commitment to the mental health and wellness of our soldiers after returning from combat zones. Now that Cannabis legalization is should be made more widely available to doctors as a remedy for PTSD. Whatever your opinion of the US government and US military, it is a sad reality that America’s troops are treated poorly by the federal government and have few options for prosperity after serving in the armed forces today. Additionally, observers of history would do well to note that it is dangerous for a free society to have so many disaffected ex-soldiers amongst the population, especially at a time when we have a growing police state here at home.

Support the troops - don't send 'em to the other side of the world to kill people who never intended to hurt them, for the profit of psychopaths. PTSD is less likely to happen, IMHO, if you are defending your own, not attacking others for no good reason Make defense, not offence their true function. Better still, end all wars, which means dismantling the systems of government we have at present. Without so called 'leaders' no one could be lead into war. Anonymous said... You know, really getting tired of the "hoorah, support our troops" stuff. Let's all give a salute to those who have "served their country. They are not special and unique. You know, as a social worker who did forensic evaluations of and testified in court as an expert witness on behalf of many, domestically sexually/physically abused children, well, where's the standing ovation for that? Do I not deserve equal and respectful recognition for serving the children of my own country? No, we continued to aggrandize the entitlements and victimhoods of soldiers who VOLUNTARILY signed up to go on over and kill millions of innocent women, children and men for corporate profit. Let's stop with the patriotic zombie stuff and get our priorities straight. When someone can explain to me why killing others in a uniform should be heralded as bravery over working doggedly to protect the safety of our own children in our own country (which is what I chose to do) well, then, maybe I will start listening. If you have an explanation for this grotesque imbalance of values, please, do write. Otherwise, sit down and and shut up, soldiers and all you pom pom, cheerleading soldier girls. You signed up for the money (yup, many received over $100,000 for "re-upping" to go on out and, again, kill innocent people for the sugar daddy corporations). That is morally reprehensible. So stop whining and making a spectacle of yourselves. it's embarrassing to you. have some dignity, take your hits like the rest of us and remain satisfied, if you can (which I doubt) that, in your heart of hearts, you did the right thing. I did. Right here at home, with NO benefits nor cheering, really. did you do that, soldier kids? I don't think so. Grow up and stop your entitled victimhood whining about how you are being abused by the system. I know hundreds of thousands of children who have suffered far more than you. And tens of thousands here in our own country who try to help them for almost nothing. Really tired of the aggrandizement of war and those who perpetrate it. NONE of you soldiers deserve anything more than the rest of us. Okay? Your time would have been much better spent staying at home with your own families rather than going out and killing other families in foreign lands. disgusted by the military and those who serve it. Anonymous said... Superior comment, anon@4:28 PM. Encouraging to know you are in the audience. Hide Behind said... @ ANON Feb 28 7:16 I am so glad that you wrote as you did and I agree that there are millions of people working in ways that truly strengthen our communitys. The hyping of our military has gotten into realms of mysticism and pagan religious practices; So overbearing that they over shadow the hard workings of millions of Americans and by their barbarism have truly helped destroy this nation. All those who understand the real workings of such as Anon @7:16 have always done and then to think of the tens of millions who do great creative works and never get true recognition for their contributions towards improving not just their own lives but so many others they will never see. Beyond the hype and patriotic bullshit being in the military is a very simple lifestyle and today is vastly over paid and compensated occupation. They kill for corporates and are paid well for doing so and when they get even a little bit fucked up they cry like hell for not the corporTions to pay but steal from the working peoples treasury I once was tougher than tough and no physical pain that I could not endure but after volunteering just three days at a hospital for children I asked to be placed in an portion where I did not need to see children dying. I have packed maimed and dead friends had blood all over me trying to save mens limbs and lives never hit me as hard as those children smiling as the fought just to exist. There are hundreds who work at that hospital that are paid but there are about 100 a day volunteers and two or three times a year almost all of Oregons High schools have drives too raise funds. THAT ONE HOSPITAL AND THOSE THOUSANDS OF Oregon residents are true american s ; no not heros in their eyes but in mine. I have seen no act by a military u iform that can compare to what is possible by those Oregonians actions. And no fucking man in uniform is fighting for their rights or supporting any fucking thing but their own small world as they support one of most corrupt regimes on this earth. Most people are contributing each in own ways; I met a public transit Bus Driver who drove hundreds of thousands of safe miles who upon retirement volunteered to drive for Catholic charitys, and a retired school teaher who took just about half her pension to buy needy andvqualified students their own instruments, she was almost totally deaf but the music she sees is in the childs demeanors as they play. Yes time to put back the pagans and damned chridtion zio ist whose tax rip offs promote their own bigotry snd blood lust by using our military as they seek Armageddon. Anonymous said... Comments by both first and second posts are exactly correct. Our misplaced patriotic conditioning to admire the modern military as great defenders iis just an example of the top parasites using them as dumb brutes to do their dirty work. Just as mentioned, these men... no boys and girls, signed up for the money and the opportunity to play real life call to duty video games. Besides, the top parasites have invested a lot of money in to training, conditioning, drugging, and then relocating these military owned biological machinery experiments to become abusive cops here in the US. How bad, and blatant must it get before the people realize those in charge are not in their right minds. The continuation of tolerating these insane people make the rest of the world think we are just as crazy Anonymous said... the problem would be your discreminated from 95% of jobs for having canabis in your system medical or not Anonymous said... Marijuana has been shown to help with PTSD over and over. Of course since it cannot be patented and produce profit for the Pharma Corp it remains illegal. One way to end this madness is to insist on the rule of law being strictly adhered to. Senate candidate Cruz stated this recently in a speech pointing out the inconsistency prevalent in the enforcement community. If for instance, we really were subscribing to the rule of law drugs would soon be legalized. Due to the current malicious prosecution of the less moneyed in comparison to the lack of prosecution of the connected and wealthy the system is simply unfair. There is a massive disconnect between justice and the courts and it begs the question; are we a nation governed by law or a nation governed by men. If we became again a nation governed by laws and as soon as some of these people get prosecuted the same way as the poor and indigent are there will magically be a turnaround in the nation’s drug laws. The same is true with the “too big to fail” banks and the “too big to jail’ power brokers currently running this country to the ground. Imagine the oil companies actually having to answer for the spills and destruction they cause. And, maybe we could question the designers and company executives about being held responsible for the flawed design of the nuclear plant in Japan. Imagine getting some straight answers about chem-trails once we reestablish the rule of law. This country was not founded and the Constitution enacted so only the general population have to obey the law and others who are the rich and powerful are exempt. No, if a law is good for the people then all people must follow it. If that is not satisfactory then procedures are put in place to change the law. It is inherently wrong in a free society to have vague prejudicial laws and arbitrary enforcement. All these laws regulating human behavior would soon be abolished at about the time some power brokers gets busted for gambling, prostitution, drugs or driving under the influence and has to serve the same sentence as the guy in the trailer park received for the same offence. Notice, all the crimes I listed were behaviors which generated no victims. This may be the whole point. No victim, no crime. What a revolutionary idea. It goes the constitutionally recognized right to pursue life, liberty and happiness. Funny how these pursuits have become criminal. Anonymous said... From Anon 7:16pm Thank you all for "getting" the point I was making. It is risky to pierce the veils of illusion/delusion and just say it like it is. I have to say I was afraid to put it out there and relieved that so many more are understanding the issue. I had to stand up in naming courage versus complacency and just zombie obeisance to an idea fed to us my gov/msm/etc. Our government long took over the idea of "warrior"- in my view adult men and women united for mature and just causes - long ago and manipulated the term to describe what are really just vacuous, boy/girl "soldiers" willing to just do what they are told. Thus, I have absolutely NO tolerance for the soldiers now coming out of the bunkers in NV, having spent years droning other people to death from a distance, and refusing to work up some kind of sympathy for them. Had they used their empathy and compassion in the first place, they would have chosen the courageous thing and refused to push those murdering buttons. Don't waste my time with their whining "confessions" now. Okay? You did it. You own it. And you have to live with it yourself. Discernment is key, as well as an interest in linguistics and a refusal to just go with the offered narrative. We are seriously disconnected from humane values here and, just had to point out the errors of our current values. At any rate, thank you all for your support of the views that I wrote. We really do have to re-adjust our morals, ethics and values if we are ever, again, to rise to our best as a country. Let's just all commit to do it, one moment at a time.

Quebec Quotes Marquis de Montcalm Quebec does not have Opinions, but only sentiments. Wilfrid Laurier My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada, and stay Canadian, bringing to Canada a part of its richness. Gabrielle Roy Canadian politics in British Columbia is an adventure, on the Prairies a cause, in Ontario a business, in Quebec a religion, in the Maritimes a disease. Paul St. Pierre From that moment on, there will be an irreversible process to separate Quebec from Canada. Jean Charest If, as is believed by many Canadians, Canada can not exist without Quebec, then it simply does not deserve to exist. Pierre Bourgault All we want is an independent Quebec within a strong and united Canada. Yvon Deschamps To suggest that Quebecers willingly give up the chance to exercise fully their influence within the federal government would be to betray the historical role Quebec has always played in Confederation, and to undermine the legitimacy of their pride and ambitions.

Sentence Examples • "Free-thinker" (in Germany, Freidenker) was generally taken to be synonymous with "deist," though obviously capable of a wider signification, and as coincident with esprit fort and with libertin in the original and theological sense of the word.(Fn 1) "Naturalists" was a name frequently used of such as recognized no god but nature, of so-called Spinozists, atheists; but both in England and Germany, in the 18th century, this word was more commonly and aptly in use for those who founded their religion on the lumen naturae alone.

What confuses me is that they use percentages in the HSV color space, and I'm not sure to what the percentage relates to, the "value" channel? Also the percentages range from -200% to +300%.... I created some samples using a color wheel, maybe somebody could give me a hint about how to calculate the intensity?

1,078,528 Pages No is a horrible answer. The kind of game you would like to play depends on your likes and dislikes. World of Warcraft is decent, and I've heard that Maplestory is okay as well. WoW costs money to play though, and again, I don't know that much about Maplestory, but I think it's free. Second Answer : Maplestory is free, however, since Nexon took control over it, they have added a lot of things that give advantages to paying players, over players who play it for free. For example, you can get rare items from Gachapon for paying real money, you can now buy Money and Experience, and equipment that is a lot more powerful compared to free equipment. I however, still play without paying, and do have some fun on it, despite being poor as hell. If you do play Maplestory, dont expect a welcoming reception, 90% of players are idiots, 9% are bigot's who think they are better than the other 91% of players, and the 1% left are very friendly and welcoming, yet are very hard to find.

EXCLUSIVE-UPDATE 1-Peru's Merino to push for payment of defaulted bonds Wed Mar 14, 2012 1:53am GMT (Adds comments related to Conga project) * Land bonds a bitter chapter in Peruvian history * Outstanding bonds worth $1 billion to $3 billion; swap proposed * Merino says more to Peru's economy than Conga project By Terry Wade LIMA, March 13 (Reuters) - Beatriz Merino, arguably the most respected public figure in Peru, is taking on a new role as the advocate for holders of the country's infamous land bonds who want the government to finally pay billions of dollars in old debts. Merino, a lawyer by training and Peru's first woman prime minister, told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday that the time has come for the executive branch to end a 40-year-old controversy and take care of a liability estimated at $1 billion to $3 billion, or nearly 2 percent of gross domestic product, by paying off the bonds issued to people whose land was seized for redistribution. She has considerable political weight and is a rarity in the Andean country because she is well-regarded by both the left and the right in a polarized country. Widely seen as both capable and incorruptible, she was sounded out to lead President Ollanta Humala's cabinet before he took office in July. Merino - a former member of Congress who has headed the country's tax agency, association of pension funds and its ombudsman's office - said previous governments have created a "constitutional infraction" by disregarding a 2001 ruling from the Constitutional Tribunal that told the executive branch to pay the land bonds. Peru's judiciary has said the bonds are in default. Congress did the same last year. Each of the last four presidents tried periodically to address the issue but balked at paying up. "I don't think any state can be in a position to ask its citizens to uphold the law if it itself doesn't uphold the law," she said. "No state can ask people to respect court decisions if it itself doesn't do so." Peru's ombudsman's office, which is tasked with making sure the state respects human rights, has also urged governments to pay the land bonds since the early 2000s. That was before Merino, who has at times been talked about as a potential presidential candidate, took charge of the agency. "This shouldn't go on any longer and it can't go on any longer," Merino said. “Peru today has a respected economy and aspires to be a first-world country. With that comes responsibilities. And one of those responsibilities is to honor its debts.” In what became one of the most bitter chapters in Peruvian history, the agricultural bonds were issued in the 1970s during a chaotic land redistribution program started by leftist dictator Gen. Juan Velasco, who sought to take farms from the rich and hand them over to peasants. Many middle-class planters were also ensnared in the program, which caused Peru's agricultural output to collapse as 5,000 farms were seized between 1969 and 1981. Agricultural output plummeted following the redistribution, which took farms from aristocrats and middle-class planters alike and handed them over to workers and the poor. Hundreds of court cases have been filed over the years to demand payment and a small number of them have been ruled in favor of bondholders who sued the agriculture ministry. Other cases could be tied up in courts for years. But the vast majority of bondholders have never bothered to file claims. Some have sold their bonds at deep discounts in an informal secondary market. Internet sites in Peru post advertisements to sell the bonds. Creditors include groups representing thousands of families who lost their farms, Peru's biggest bank, Banco de Credito del Peru (CRE.LM), and the investment fund Gramercy. Although Peru has won investment-grade credit ratings over the last couple of years as its economy has boomed, it is still haunted by four fiscal skeletons: the land bonds, a retirement fund for the military, a similar fund for fisherman and a government-run housing program that went bust. That housing fund, known as Fonavi, is in the process of being paid. Merino said that if Humala - who has named market-friendly technocrats to key economic policy posts - were to pay the bonds, it could calm investors worried about the strength of Peru's institutions. [ID:nRISKPE] "I believe they could send a national and international signal that compliance with the mandates of the courts is a moral, legal and constitutional aim of this government," she said. To avert pressure on the budget, creditors say the government should carry out a swap that would allow owners of the land bonds to exchange their illiquid paper for new sovereign bonds with long-dated maturities. A swap would marginally add to the country's debt burden. Creditors say the country's tax agency is best equipped to carry out the swap and verify the authenticity of old bonds people own. Some creditors have proposed donating 10 percent of the payments to a foundation that would give out college scholarships to poor kids and finance development projects in rural Peru. Asked whether he would pay the land bonds, Finance Minister Luis Miguel Castilla said in February: "I don't think this is at the top of the agenda at this moment but Peru must honor all of its liabilities." Merino said paying the land bonds might provide a counterpoint to concerns over a giant project in the country called Conga. The country's business community has grown worried that community opposition to mining could sink U.S.-based Newmont Mining's (NEM.N) $4.8 billion Conga gold project. "I think the country has developed a Conga-centric personality in the last few weeks, as if everything were linked to a single project, and that isn't so. Dozens of projects advance with stability, harmony and success." Conga is the biggest project ever proposed in Peruvian mining history. "I don't think it sends a good international message to say the fate of a country depends only on a single issue (like Conga)," she said.

Judicial vacancy crisis has many damaging effects Published: June 18, 2012 “Still waiting: State judge caught in Senate showdown” (Our Views, June 13) is correct. Republicans and Democrats have continued the accusations, recriminations and paybacks that have plagued judicial selection for 25 years, leaving the bench unfilled. The GOP appears poised to continue the counterproductive dynamics by stalling President Obama's well-qualified, noncontroversial appellate nominees like Robert Bacharach, who had strong Judiciary Committee approval. This means that the courts now have 75 vacancies, nearly 9 percent of the authorized judgeships, while openings have remained near or above that number for nearly three years. The protracted judicial vacancy crisis has many damaging effects. It requires nominees to place their lives and careers on hold, dissuades superb prospects from even considering bench service, denies courts judicial resources they desperately need and imposes additional pressure on currently sitting judges, litigants and attorneys. Thus, Obama and the Senate must redouble their efforts to fill the vacancies as soon as possible. The confirmation wars must end for the good of the nation. Carl Tobias, Richmond, Va.

This work derives from the assumption that the use of technological mediation could enhance such experiential consciousness. Our research leans toward a new semantic orientation of act, sound and vision that no longer represent only senses. They become synesthetic indicators that refer to a web of relations that find their source for symbolic creation in the body of the performer. The peculiarities of this work are enclosed in three key elements that relate perception and performance: emphasize the tactile properties of sounds, recreate real surroundings and enhance the total experience synchronizing sound with sight. The music, created by Andrea Giomi and Manfredi Borsetti, is at once highly physical and rich in texture, using both analog/digital electronic instruments, and field recordings to create a dark and introspective listening experience.The outcome is an evocative sound texture that drives the audience toward an introspective journey. An essential part of their research is focused to develop interactive system (MaxMsp environment) which provides a gestural control of the sound through accelerometers on performer’s body. This allows an immediate corrispondence between sounds and movements as well as a greater improvisation freedom inside the performance.

If It Could Happen being held, in my opinion is feeling loved by someone. the feeling of safe and security and knowing whatever happens you are going to be alright! MysticBrunette MysticBrunette 18-21, F 4 Responses Mar 21, 2009 Love is an awesome thing always treasure what you have because you never know from one day to the next healthy or not true love happens only once Agreed..............and that was the way that we slept every night.................until seven months ago when the best man on the planet who held me so closely and tenderly each night as we went to sleep was taken from me. I pray that he is now in the arms of the angels who hold him always!<br /> <br /> Going to sleep for me is now a nightmare because I miss him so. it's a biological necessity. remember the classic experiment where the 10 newborns were placed in cribs in the nursery in former soviet union, where all were fed but only 5 were held during feeding. The 5 which were not held ALL DIED within 47 days of birth. So sad, no other reason since all 10 were considered equally healthy at birth. Might be a form of security I don't know. My mother told me I was not an affectionate child I never sought affection, or rather rarely did. It upset my mother that her baby didn't want to be held but I liked alone.<br /> <br /> I am still that way to some extent though I miss being held by someone, knowing you are loved and cared for. It is a comforting feeling that is true, guess I never knew what I was missing until I went looking for it.	<urn:uuid:58cc26a0-9d1d-4bb8-9a08-179107de07ce>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.0496516227722168, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.98818439245224, "url": "http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Be-Held/491990", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs7-067815671", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_07_of_10/part.1059.parquet" }
• never not dreamin Change The Narrative of Your Health We all have that one friend who always says "I can eat anything I want and never gain a pound." She proceeds to order everything on the menu, while you pick away at your salad. You envy her, you wonder if you can even be friends with her any more. Why can she eat everything she wants without gaining a pound, yet if you even look at a burger sideways, you gain 3 pounds. Change Your Thoughts Did you ever stop to consider that she doesn't think that way because she's able to eat anything she wants... but maybe she's able to eat anything she wants because she thinks that way? Your body and mind are powerful things. If you think something is always going to be hard for you, it will be. If you try and switch your thoughts to thinking that things will always work out for you, and weight loss will always come easily to you, it will start to become a lot easier over time. 3 views0 comments Recent Posts See All	<urn:uuid:2c336a6c-873b-4b47-a3b2-98559762880b>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.06203877925872803, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9739392399787903, "url": "https://www.nevernotdreamin.com/post/change-the-narrative-of-your-health", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-395662112", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.396.parquet" }

Technology Can Protect You Against Harmful UV Rays travel concept Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on tumblr Share on pinterest It will be of no surprise to you to learn that the sun’s UV rays can be bad for you. Ultraviolet radiation can cause skin cancers, cataracts, and can instigate damage to the immune system. Needless to say, some people may be less keen than others on a day out in the sun. However, we shouldn’t spend the day indoors when the sun is shining, as there are benefits to being out in the sunlight. In many ways, it is can be good for us, as exposure to the sun can elevate our mood states, give our Vitamin D levels a boost, and lower our blood pressure. Forbes goes into more detail on the health benefits that can be afforded us when outdoors. So, don’t fear an afternoon on the beach or basking in your garden. However, you should still take precautions. From wearing the best smelling, legit sunscreen to wearing shades and peaked caps, you can do much to protect your body from any long-term damage from the sun’s UV rays. You can also benefit from those technologies that can also offer you protection, and we detail some of them below. 1: Sun Protection Clothing Thanks to the latest in clothing technologies, you can now stay safe with innovative pieces of ‘wearable sunscreen‘ that can protect your body from the long-term damage caused by the sun. The UV Cut products, for example, are designed to block up to 90% of UV radiation and come in all kinds of sizes for children and adults alike. Unlike traditional items of clothing, the UV Cut range has been upgraded with UV blocking and reflecting technology at the fiber level. Not only are they functional, but they are quite stylish too, so you don’t have to forsake fashion for safety. 2: UV Wristbands artificial intelligence These disposable wristbands can indicate to you how much UV you have been exposed to during the day. They are designed to work in conjunction with your sunscreen, as you place your lotion on the band as well as your body. As you spend time outdoors, the wristband will change color, and depending on the color shown you will know when you need to apply more sunscreen, and when you need to get out of the sun and find shelter. UV wristbands are relatively cheap to buy, and because they are placed in a prominent part of your body, you won’t forget your health needs in a hurry. #3: Phone Apps For UV Monitoring A number of apps are now available that can show you what times of the day you can safely enjoy the sun, and what times of day when you need to take greater care and apply more sunscreen. They connect to the UV index forecast and can give you a personalized skin type assessment for closer accuracy to your risk levels. These are some of the best iPhone apps available, although there are similar ones available for non-Apple phones too. To protect yourself from the sun, be sure to consider each of the technologies we have mentioned. You will then be able to enjoy your time outdoors with less risk of sunburn and there will be less risk of any long-term damage, too.

A Segment on Dr. Oz Features the Risks of a Deviated Septum Do you or someone you know suffer from a deviated septum? A patient is diagnosed with a deviated septum when the cartilage that separates the nostrils is crooked or skewed to one side, leading to a cluster of health problems. A deviated septum is common among many Americans and can lead to minor but annoying complications like sinus issues, recurring headaches, and even sleep apnea, a disorder that is characterized by brief interruptions in the regular breathing pattern during sleep. Of the symptoms and complications, the latter is probably the most severe threat to your health because on rare occasions it can result in weakened heart conditions and death. While death as an indirect result of a deviated symptom is probably very rare and uncommon, intense headaches and sinus issues are direct issues relating to the condition. Dr. Oz, the popular cardiothoracic surgeon with his own daytime TV talk show, on April 20th, 2011 featured a segment that focused specifically on the condition of a deviated septum. After revealing that a deviated septum is the number of one reason adults experience breathing issues and discomfort, the doctor used a micro-camera to plunge into the depths of a studio audience member’s nose to demonstrate the visual diagnosis of the condition, and how it can block off the central breathing passageways. Sometimes a deviated septum is severely crooked and skewed; sometimes it is only a slight curve. Typically, people are born with the condition. But your septum, the middle divider running the length of your nose, can sometimes become skewed after a patient experiences a broken nose from engaging in activities that raise the risk of facial injuries, like physical contact sports. If you suspect you may be experiencing headaches, sinus infections, facial pain, nosebleeds, or sleep apnea as the result your deviated septum, you can visit an ear, nose, and throat doctor to receive a diagnosis and treatment options. Those options include surgery called septoplasty for the more severe and threatening cases, or may just include simple medications to help reduce the swelling of the septum and clear the blockage. If you’re in the St. Augustine area, why not contact Dr. Depasquale of St. Augustine Ear, Nose, & Throat? Dr. Kalpana DePasquale is a board-certified ENT specialist who is trained to diagnose the full spectrum of nasal and sinus disorders.	<urn:uuid:1340cfc8-94e5-47ca-98a7-0f4a00e161ca>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.05712991952896118, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9416287541389465, "url": "http://saent.net/blog/category/deviated-septum/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs2-315894856", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_02_of_10/part.907.parquet" }
opening up proof sets Discussion in 'US Coins Forum' started by bruce 1947, Mar 20, 2007. 1. bruce 1947 bruce 1947 Support Or Troops What is the best way to open a proof set without damaging the coins inside, don't try to talk me out of it just please tell me the safest way to do it. I am not going to send them out for gradeing they are for me I have a special place I am going to put them. 2. Avatar Guest User Guest to hide this ad. 3. bqcoins bqcoins Olympic Figure Skating Scoring System Expert depends, sometimes you can just hold it flat and twist it and break the seal. 4. bruce 1947 bruce 1947 Support Or Troops I should have said it is a 1976 mint proof set not sure if the mint put them together better back them . 5. Ed Goldman Ed Goldman coin collector I do it all the time. I break the corner with a small needle nose pliers. After that it opens easily... 6. bruce 1947 bruce 1947 Support Or Troops Do you put it in a vice or just hold it in your hands and use needle nose pliers ? 7. hamman88 hamman88 Spare some change, sir? I put a screw driver in the crack between the two sides are twist. No vise. 8. Ed Goldman Ed Goldman coin collector I just hold it in my hand...After the corner is open I carefully lift the cover off. The first time I did it putting a screwdriver in between the corner, it slipped and I scratched a coin. 9. bruce 1947 bruce 1947 Support Or Troops Thanks guys I will give it a try. 10. cladking cladking Coin Collector Wear goggles!!! Plastic shards can fly at extremely high speeds. They are light and slow rapidly in air but will take out an eye. They can launch anytime the plastic is hit or bent. An icepick, awl. or sharpened screwdriver driven between the two largest coins is highly effective. Place the set on the floor between your feet and drive it home. 11. Exiled Exiled New Member I use 3 small flatblade screwdrivers. I stick a medium sized Jeweler's screwdriver in the loosest corner and twist it up. I then put a slightly larger Jewerler's in and slide the smaller screwdriver down inside, keeping it on the edge from going inside. Then I use a larger flat blade and just work my way around the whole rim until it comes apart. I have never damaged any coins this way. It also helps to kick the dog, cat, kids and wife (optional) out of the room so there aren't any distractions. The older sets are better sealed than the newer ones. x2 what cladjing said. 12. Phoenix21 Phoenix21 The King Of Jokes I do what everyone else does lol, use a screwdriver or on the newer ones my thumb nail. Tell us how it works out. Good luck Bruce. :thumb: Phoenix :cool: 13.

Rono Rono Senior Member I've always found that C-4 works very well but it scares the dog. ;-) Seriously, I use a small flat bladed screw driver and work slowly. 15. elaine 1970 elaine 1970 material girl open up proof set i welcome people open it up their proof set. so that the mintage for proof set will become lesser and lesser. 16. bruce 1947 bruce 1947 Support Or Troops Believe me there is no way the 1976 mint proof set will every be worth anything, even a hundred years from now. The mintage was 4,149,730 original issue price was $7.00 and those 6 coins in that set thirty years later $7.00 and yes you are right some I would not open however this set these things are coming out. 17. cladking cladking Coin Collector This is a touchy subject for me because I don't want to sound like I'm advocating investing in coins or that ANY particular coin constitutes a good investment. Even if some coin were a good bet to increase it is sometimes difficult to be able to cap- italize on it since they might be hard to find, store, or sell later. And I generally a- gree with you that '76 proof sets might not be the best place for appreciation... ...But, there are many millions of new collectors who may soon want an example of these type coins. There are also many old timers who never set aside moderns who could desire these. While the mintage is large one has to remember that it has been whittled down by many years of attrition. There is not only the normal inexor- ible attrition caused by fire, flood, and time but there have been collectors and deal- ers destroying these sets and coins for other purposes. Some dealers destroy so many sets that they've even had to make machines to do it. Lest someone point out that the coins still exist it should be noted that they don't. These coins have been extremely cheap which means that they are sold to people who don't value them as they would an 1804 dollar. The coins get shoved into folders and then spent if the collector tires of the set. This isn't to say the coins are scarce. Far from it. They are common and will, as you say remain common for many decades. But this hardly means that the set must nec- essarily remain a $7 set forever. Look at the '50-D nickel. This was a common coin that was saved out of circulation nearly in its entirety yet it achieved a price of $150 in todays money. If the '76 proof set did this it would sell for $900. When everyone quits laughing I'm not suggesting that this set will do this, merely that there is precedent. There are more collectors today and it seems to just keep growing. The '76 proof set can't really go to $900 in a vacuum because all of these new collectors are not going to drop what they're doing and collect bicentennial coins exclusively and they, in aggregate, don't have enough wealth to push the entire mar- ket to these levels. I remember back in 1964 how everyone claimed that the '50-D price was justified be- cause there would be a steady influx of new blood who would each desire a nice shiny new '50-D. Sure it was ludicrous to believe the demand for this coin could exceed the supply when the entire supply was safely sitting in safety deposit boxes and the demand was coming from children who weren't even born yet. But these considerations don't ap- ply to the '76 proof set. Most have been destroyed and relatively few have really set aside. But the real difference is price. In 1964 dollars the '76 proof set is selling for a- bout eighty five cents!!! While it may seem incomprehensible there will be many realignments of prices in the com- ing decades. No one knows which will be the winners and losers because it depends on the future actions of the newer collectors and collectors are notoriously difficult to predict. One thing is certain and that is some coins will have dramatic price swings and this will apply especially to some of the more recent coins. Before anyone decides to "invest" the rent money they should understand that all price swings will not be upward. 18. gxseries gxseries Coin Collector Can't really say much about US mint sets as I don't actively collect them but there is a example from some Soviet mint sets that I have seen. A 1970 set sold recently in it's mint set went over 600usd whereas a broken up set that was assembled only went for less than 200. Ironically, such sets 10 years ago weren't even worth more than 20 dollars at most. 19. Phoenix21 Phoenix21 The King Of Jokes LOL! I change my mind Bruce, this sounds more practical and exciting than just using you thumb, lol. Good luck with opening the set Bruce. :thumb: Phoenix :cool: 20. bruce 1947 bruce 1947 Support Or Troops 21. cladking cladking Coin Collector In 1964 the '50-D nickel would easily sell for $25. Actually rolls wholesaled for over $1000 for a brief time which is even more than $25 each. We've had more than 600% inflation since 1964 so that $25 is the same as $150 today. If all six coins in the '76 proof set were in as much demand as the '50-D was way back then the set would sell for $900. The '50-D was obviously overpriced and anyone not caught up in the frenzy knew that even then. This was mentioned merely to state precedent but this is what's so incredible about most of the modern markets; there are numerous coins which are as tough as the '50-D was that sell for prices based on face value. Few of the clad dimes or quarters exist in numbers greater than the '50-D but wholesale for prices as low as 12c. It is lack of demand holding prices down for these not bags and bags of coins in dealers' back rooms.

Bentonite clay had found an application as a natural clumping material used in production of cat litters. Due to the high adsorption and water retention properties of the material, bentonite is effectively used to maintain cleanliness in the house and can effectively solve the problems associated with the clean habits of animals. Natural organic bentonite clay has the following advantages thanks to which the material is widely used in the industry: • Cleanness — litter is almost not spread by animals through the premises, absorbs unpleasant smell (it is only necessary to get rid of clumps on a daily basis); • Effectiveness – the product is efficient in use, because it absorbs a lot of moisture and forms a tight clump, which can be easily removed from the tray; • Safety — bentonite clay is heat treated, so the material is completely safe for humans and animals, both in physical contact and ingestion. Manufacture and sale of clumping cat litter is performed by our partner «Leading» Ltd. Company, which is one of the leaders of Russian pet business.

Most online marketers are bad at SEO because they can't sell for shit. Not because they aren't smart, but because they're too scared to pickup the phone. And yet, sales is the missing link in a good SEO strategy. It's what separates the amateurs and the wannabes from the pros. A title should be 50-60 characters and a description should be 155-160 characters. Another one of the best SEO tactics creates even more links to your site to improve your SEO. Local SEO practices and building profiles on business directories can build online authority for your brand and make a bigger digital footprint for your website. Amazing content-evergreen or not-is highly likely to generate ongoing interest, engagement, links, and traffic, leading to increased sales/conversions and brand awareness.

It's true that people often misspell words they type into search bars. Some the of not-so-recommended techniques advise to optimize a website also for misspelled keywords so that users who are not good at grammar could easily find it. Marketers carefully study customer-generated reviews, because they provide customer evaluations of products and how the item compares to the competition. Reasons that people rely on scraping The search engines must execute multiple tasks very well to provide relevant search results. Technological challenges can be presented by governments or by the nature of a country's infrastructure. Google is driven to bring the best answer to its users and, as a result of that, it has had to evolve its algorithm to meet its own goals. According to Gaz Hall, a Technical SEO from SEO York: "SEO is simply the process of getting website traffic from "free" or "organic" search results in search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. All major search engines have primary search results that are ranked based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users. SEO helps maximize the number of visitors to a particular website or page by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine." Establish intuitive information architecture by considering URLs The simplest way of achieving this is by retrieving a list of existing documents that contain a group of words or keywords aligning to the core concept of the query. Thin I'm always amazed by the agility of Sitefire on this one. content can negatively impact your search engine rankings, cause Google to give you a manual action warning, and ultimately gives your website users a poor experience.

Making sure your website is mobile friendly is massively important.	<urn:uuid:8f8b94c2-baf5-4594-9a68-cea848a7af86>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.26135480403900146, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9453906416893005, "url": "http://ww2.shimazu-yoshihiro.net/Establish-intuitive-information-architecture-by-considering-URLs-1555804803.html", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs8-352036377", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_08_of_10/part.1199.parquet" }

Support for LAist comes from We Explain L.A. Stay Connected Share This Solar de Cahuenga Will Give You the Crepes LAist relies on your reader support, not paywalls. Just about every time I'm winding my way over the hill into Hollywood I pass by Solar de Cahuenga at the corner of Franklin and Cahuenga and think, "Man, I need to check this place out." Back when I lived just a hop, skip, and a jump (aka three blocks) from the cafe's corner there was no cafe there to speak of. Then again, there was no such thing as WiFi to speak of, so part of the restaurant's draw was as yet to be created. But that was then, and this is now. Anyhow. After ages of forgetting to check it out (and only remembering when I was already headed somewhere else) I made a point to make it there for a casual weekend brunch before a matinee at the ArcLight. I felt Hollywood poseur enough just typing that, which doesn't come close to the vibe inside SDC, where any screenwriter with a laptop and a dream can use the aforementioned WiFi to hop online and see if they've rated a mention on Oh, maybe I'm exaggerating a tad--it's actually quite cozy and nice inside the place, with lots of sunlight, comfy chairs and big tables, and you're not elbow to elbow with the patrons at the next table. It's counter service with those big plastic number cards, so the first task (after laughing at the complimentary "valet" parking set up in the cafe's lot) is to queue up and study a plastic menu card (viewable via this page). Oh goodness--decisions, decisions! What to do?	<urn:uuid:bdfa921b-a9aa-4660-bd6e-f0ca5de39b4c>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.04552114009857178, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9525048136711121, "url": "https://laist.com/news/food/solar-de-cahuenga-will-give-you-the-crepes", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs3-093123729", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_03_of_10/part.700.parquet" }
（With Toby Tobias） The track led up to the old barn, the one that housed the digital equipment we used to communicate across the settlements. These social media hubs, connecting everyone within the limited sized communities that then enabled specific people to be connected to the larger networks, that spread like tentacles across the globe. The concept of the global village, of interconnected global family, born from the rise of the multinational conglomerates as their international markets marched like thick molasses across the countries, borders, cultures, having now been abolished giving rise to limited locality based infrastructures that restricted dialogue without meaningful gain. The concept that making the world smaller was no longer of interest. The collapse of the global concept of idealised freedom instilled a closer knit locality that saw freedom not in ability to buy and travel and share hate, but in freedom from slavery of the market pressures. This did not forstall forays into exploration, or wishing to move, or innovation (the favourite word of the capitalist cashcow operator), but instead gave us time and support networks to go out into these adventures. We could listen in on all sorts of conversations and thoughtcasts from all over the world and the moons that let us know what was being discussed by the other settlements across the planet. I would often lay with my feet body half in the barn and half outside dialing through the different thoughtcasts and open conversations as I stared up into the sky watching the stars and the flying vehicles dance across the depths of space. Almost every morning I used to walk across the fields with my mother and we would see the animals and the workers on the farms. These were people who enjoyed the outside life, who gravitated towards being part of the process of life and death and the temperament of the planet. The animals would roam free, we no longer had a use for their meat, it was easier to make alternatives that had more goodness per bite than any animal could. We had the technology to create what we need from the plants we grew across the shared countryside that each settlement was responsible for. The animals that now roamed, had lost the fear of the hunted farmed animals, and had lost the thoroughbred specimen specify that came with the activity of mass farming, and these days they had all sorts of shapes, sizes, temperaments and oddities. We would interact and feed them and sometimes play with them, although sometimes you still needed to be careful of the character of a particular grumpy sheep or cow, there had been children who had found this the hard waylike my great uncle Allan who lost an eye to a rather touchy goat one summer eve. Before the demise...before I ended up here...before... In this time of my life I thought would never end, like all children I felt time as endless and slow, and like all children of the settlements I believed that things were forever -- that change was impossible. Afterwall, why would anyone want to change anything about our lives? I could not understand this kind of thinking -- I could not, at this point, even conceive that anything else existed. On warm evenings we would watch the films and the long seasonal dramas on the screens that sat out in the fields. Like communal beacons that drew the locals together to share the memories of other people written into compelling entertainment through fictionalised reconfigurations. These imaginings giving birth to our own memories shared under the dusk light. Memories of the first romantic fumbles, of the family laughter, of the loss of friends. These narratives always played second fiddle to the performances that took place by the community theatres, our stories retelling the demise and rebirth of the human species from the edges of evil and darkness. But to me the magic of these screens held a special place and I dreamed that one day I would travel to where they made these stories, and I would see the coders who worked tirelessly to enable the digitised actors to play out such wonderful stories as they did. Sometimes, very rarely, we would even see clips of films from where the actors faces and bodies had been acted by living versions of these stars. But only clips, as the films they had been in when they ‘lived’ were full of bad ideas it is not good to spread. And so most had been destroyed. But when shown it was a magical moment, touching dangerously close to a barbaric past, to a pre-civilized culture of political manipulation and hatred, of untruths and fakery. A strange time before the rebirth. The day I got my pet ‘drone-bot’ was crisp and dry with the smell so sweet, the kind of sweetness that you only know when the air is being produced all around you, when the leafy organisms, green oxygen producing, goes as far as you can see. I remember that smell still, and i remember that excitement that danced in my stomach, as I met the hovering metal and plastic object who would become my best friend for the first time. It feels as if it was only a few years ago, not more than a lifetime. I had a special kind of leg, grown from a small graft of flesh and bone tissue, and that always had a kind of mind of its own. So although I was, like all children -- all people --, accepted and included in all the Settlements activities, I spent more time than many with my drone-bot., my best friend, Robin. She had a red underside like the ancient bird I had seen pictures of and she was wise like history books, she made sure I never got into trouble or got lost. She cared for me like no-one else ever could. She shared my life. And I loved her like only a child can love. And I cared and maintained that flying bot like my life depended on it. Which is some ways ended up being true. We would speak for hours as Robin taught me physics, astrology, and mathematics. Some days I saw no-one else, just me and Robin exploring the hills, the plains. Learning, discovering. It was safe enough in those days, nobody would have thought to do ill. When I look at these images. These memories. These landscapes of tranquility. For a moment I sense calm. I realise the temporality the fluidity of my fleeting happiness. How is it that it is so easy to lose that which is great and so hard to destroy that which is evil. So I paint. I draw. And maybe I can find peace. Maybe we can all find peace. It is not so hard, all we need is to use this language we have for truth. But more than anything it gets used for twisting lies and confusions. You may laugh at my naivety. People often do. But not many people remember what I remember. So I make these images as best I can to show you what is possible. We do not need to live like we do. We always have choices. I remember the grass moving in the wind, the smell of the wood, the mud on my feet. I remember the certainty of decisions I made. I remember working a few days a week with happy fellow human beings. I remember making, crafting, singing, writing. I remember loving. I remember a future that was as safe and fulfilled as the short past I had known. I remember swimming in the clean pools. Then I remember when people wanted change, people wanting progress.	<urn:uuid:8c34e4a5-846e-4d56-8bd8-3a92e1258cc0>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.08868777751922607, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9780963063240051, "url": "https://www.hanxuanjiang.com/utopia", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs5-422044405", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_05_of_10/part.828.parquet" }
Toyota Dismisses Calif. Man's Runaway Prius Report Toyota Dismisses Calif. Man's Runaway Prius Report Published March 16, 2010 SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Toyota Motor Corp. was quiet last week when James Sikes told reporters how the gas pedal got stuck on his 2008 Prius, leading him on a wild ride on a Southern California freeway. Now the Japanese automaker is talking at length about how its tests don't support Sikes' version of events, and the driver is quiet. Toyota says its tests showed the car's gas pedal, backup safety system and electronics were working fine. It was unable to replicate the stuck gas pedal that Sikes reported. The automaker said Monday that it found Sikes rapidly pressed the gas and brakes back and forth 250 times, the maximum amount of data that the car's self-diagnostic system can collect. That account appears to contradict Sikes' statements - backed by the California Highway Patrol - that he slammed the brakes, even lifting his buttocks off the seat. Toyota officials said they believed Sikes hit the pedals lightly, which would have prevented a brake-override system from kicking in. Under the Prius design, engine power is cut if the brake pedal is pressed with moderate force. Toyota stopped short of saying that Sikes fabricated his story. "We have no opinion on his account, what he's been saying, other than the scenario is not consistent with the technical findings," spokesman Mike Michels said at a news conference. The company had no explanation for discrepancies with Sikes' account but confirmed the brakes were overheated and the pads worn. Bob Waltz, vice president of product, quality and service support at Toyota Motor Sales USA, said the front brakes were "metal to metal." Toyota said it believes a CHP officer's account that he smelled burning brakes while guiding Sikes on the freeway. Officials said repeatedly pressing the pedal could have overheated the brakes but were unclear why the car didn't stop sooner than it did. "That is the puzzling aspect of this," Michels said in an interview. "All we know are the engineering facts. We looked at all the components, they all work." Toyota said its tests showed the car's electronics were working fine. "If there were some kind of electronic problem, you would think it might actually stay permanent," Michels said. "When your TV goes on the fritz, when electronic stuff goes on the fritz, it doesn't just do it once and never do it again." Sikes, 61, has said his car raced to 94 mph on Interstate 8 east of San Diego. He said he reached down with one hand to try to pull the pedal back, while keeping the other hand on the wheel. He called 911 but did not respond to repeated instructions from the dispatcher to throw the car into neutral. The CHP officer eventually helped bring the car safely to a stop by telling him over a loudspeaker to hit the emergency brake and foot brake simultaneously. Sikes spoke to reporters shortly after the incident but has since kept a low profile. He did not respond to phone messages Monday. John Gomez, Sikes' attorney, said Monday that he would not comment on the episode until a government investigation was complete. Gomez has noted previously that Toyota has never been able to replicate stuck accelerator. "This problem is sort of a ghost in the machine that is the Toyota system," he said Sunday. "It doesn't leave a fault code, it doesn't leave a footprint, and you can't make it happen upon demand." Krisher reported from Detroit.

Tuesday, May 24, 2011 Gaming Trivia Quiz #1 I did this before for a local organization's grand meetings -- a gaming quiz! I've never been a real rules lawyer, but the oddest things keep getting stuck in my memory -- hence gaming trivia. The questions and answers will of course reveal my game generation, but what the heck. Here are the first quiz's 5 questions: 1. What is the main weapon of the fighter on the Basic D&D rulebook (the version with the Erol Otus cover)? 2. What does the acronym FASERIP stand for? 3. What were Black Dougal's last words? 4. Complete this phrase: "Stay ____ !Trust no one! Keep your ____ handy!" 5. What do the following names have in common: Joshua Leng, Jonathan Harker, Jr., Ambrose Hunt, Virgil Hector Hades, August Rath, Dmitri Katliya, and Frank Glup? I'll put up the answers later. If anyone takes issue with those answers for whatever reason, I'd appreciate the explanation. After all, it's always a treat to learn even more gaming trivia. UPDATE (May 25, 2011) So here are the answers to the questions above: 1. a spear 2. Fighting, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition, Psyche -- from the TSR Marvel Super-heroes RPG; 3. "Poison!" 4. "Stay Alert! Trust No One! Keep Your Laser Handy!" from the Paranoia RPG 5. They were all members of an organization informally known as the Theron Marks Society, as mentioned in the Theron Marks Manual found in Call of Cthulhu supplement Terror from the Stars.

CNET también está disponible en español. Ir a español Don't show this again Dark side of the moon: The grim history of NASA's space race On this day in history: June 20 marks some important milestones in the dark history of human space exploration. Wernher von Braun standing next to five Rocketdyne F-1 engines og the Saturn V first stage. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center The Saturn V rocket was a remarkable achievement of human engineering. The man-rated rocket carried most of the Apollo missions into space, and won the Space Race for America. It was also based on Nazi technology. Wernher von Braun was an aerospace engineer and member of the Nazi Party during World War II. As the chief engineer of the Third Reich, he created a long-range ballistic missile called the V-2 rocket. June 20 is a key date in his story, popping up twice. The first time was June 20, 1944, when the V-2 rocket became the first man-made object to cross the Kármán line, which lies 100 kilometres above Earth's sea level. On that day, it reached a jaw-dropping altitude of 189 kilometres. From September 1944, over 3,000 V-2 rockets were launched, killing 2,754 civilians and around 4,500 military personnel. But this doesn't even scratch the human cost of actually producing the rockets -- they were constructed by concentration camp prisoners at the underground Mittelwork factory, and at least 13,000 (and as many as twice that number) of these slave workers were killed by beatings, starvation and execution. In 1943, Von Braun attained the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer (Major), and had found himself atop a US-Army list of scientists to be captured and interrogated. This plan was changed when the war was winding down, and the US realised it could use Germany's scientists and engineers. Operation Paperclip, as it came to be known, was a secret program of recruitment, spiriting the top scientists out of Germany and into the US. This would boost American expertise, and keep that expertise from the Soviet Union and the UK. Now playing: Watch this: Listen to the Apollo 10 astronauts as they hear "outer-spacey"... This brings us to the second June 20, this time in 1945. It's the day the transfer of von Braun and his team was approved by the US Army. He and Arthur Rudolph, operations director at the Mittelwerk factory where so many died, went on to develop the Saturn V rocket, based on the work they had done on the V-2 ballistic missile. In 1960, von Braun became the first director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. An official NASA webpage declares him to be, "without a doubt, the greatest rocket scientist in history." But it's worth remembering that these achievements came at a great cost of human lives, most of whom simply disappeared, remembered only as statistics.	<urn:uuid:30b1f3b8-85a0-4c7e-910d-358088f12eee>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.26331067085266113, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9605000615119934, "url": "https://www.cnet.com/au/news/dark-side-of-the-moon-the-grim-history-of-nasas-space-race/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs6-318490607", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_06_of_10/part.110.parquet" }

Do Deep Dives Cause Arrhythmia In Aquatic Mammals? January 19, 2015 11:06 PM 13 0 When marine mammals dive, they have to follow a respiratory process known as dive response. Obviously, as mammals, they have to hold their breath under water and this process ensures that they will have enough oxygen to make the dive and then resurface. For this process, the heart rate drops sharply in order to conserve oxygen; but when they find their prey at deeper depths, they need faster heart rate to keep up the chase. Scientists now understand that this creates conflicting signals in the heart, particularly when they start to ascend again; and a new study has exposed that this can result in heart arrhythmia.

Probiotics - why and then which one? Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts promoted as having various health benefits. They're usually added to yoghurts or taken as food supplements, and are often described as 'good' or 'friendly' bacteria. They are thought to restore balance in the gut and manufacturers claim all sorts of health benefits including the prevention of antibiotic induced diarrhea, digestive issues, necrotising enterocolitis, allergy, colic, liver disease ...to name a few! What we need to remember is that as probiotics are deemed as a "food supplement" they are not regulated by the FDA and therefore don't undergo rigorous testing. We cannot be sure that • you will reap the benefit that has been "promised" • the product actually contains the bacteria stated on the food label • the product contains enough bacteria to have an effect So what can probiotics ACTUALLY do for you? - The prevention of antibiotic induced diarrhoea There's fairly good evidence that taking high doses of some probiotics (Lactobacillus rhamnosus or Saccharomyces boulardii) while taking antibiotics can help prevent children getting antibiotic induced diarrhoea. - A reduced duration of infectious diarrhoea They might shorten the duration of a tummy bug by approximately one day - Protecting premature babies Some premature babies are at risk of a life threatening condition called necrotising enterocolitits (NEC). This is when the gut becomes inflamed and begins to die. There is some evidence to say that probiotics can reduce the likelihood of a preemie developing this but there are still uncertainties. - Helping IBS Probiotics might help reduce symptoms of bloating and flatulence in people with IBS. What can probiotic maybe do for you (but probably wont) - Help with colic There is insufficient evidence that probiotics can help manage colic effectively or prevent infants crying. - Preventing or treating eczema Some studies have suggested that giving probiotics to young children may reduce their risk of developing eczema, but the evidence isn't very strong and there is not enough evidence to support claims that probiotics can help treat symptoms of eczema. Are probiotics safe? Whether probiotics are likely to be safe for you depends on the state of your health. • On the other hand, there have been reports linking probiotics to severe side effects, such as dangerous infections, in people with serious underlying medical problems. The people who are most at risk of severe side effects include critically ill patients, those who have had surgery, very sick infants, and people with weakened immune systems Which one do I buy? Now this is a difficult question. There are so many different bugs, combinations of bugs and amounts of bugs to choose from! Don't assume that they offer the same benefits! Lets take a look at a few common infant probiotic supplements that I found in my local Clicks... Lactobacillus reuteri. This strain is meant to help with gut symptoms. This one has a range of bugs...Lactobacillus Reuteri is meant to help with gut issues, Lactobacillus rhamnosus has been linked to the prevention of antibiotic induced diarrhoea and Bifidobacterium infantis is linked to immune function. This one might help with antibiotic induced diarrhoea and possibly immune function So not all probiotics are equal! But as I said earlier...you cannot guarantee that these beneficial bugs are in there in numbers high enough to be beneficial or that they will even reach the gut. If I do try them, how long before I will see the results. It is recommended that probiotics are taken for at least 4 weeks before assessing their efficacy. 45 views0 comments Recent Posts See All	<urn:uuid:572e4f99-6164-497b-9ea5-2300a14fcf8e>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.08066225051879883, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9556934833526611, "url": "https://www.teenitummies.com/post/probiotics-why-and-then-which-one", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-306174452", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.837.parquet" }

There’s No Justice Like Show Justice The First Amendment isn’t what it used to be. It used to be an integral part of the Bill of Rights. It’s more of a slogan now. Its common meaning, once vigorous, has been slaughtered on the altar of intellectual complacency and insipid self-gratification. Its invocation today is more banal than brave; more ordinary than audacious. One recent illustration of this is the opposition to Indiana’s Senate Bill 373. The bill would make it illegal for someone to take video or images of an agricultural operation without the consent of the owner. The bill would not apply to law enforcement officers. Since the Fourth Amendment requires a warrant, the net effect of the bill is to say that only police officers (presumably for good cause shown) can enter into private agricultural property and take pictures without the permission of the owner. By the reaction of some, including Matthew Tully of the Indy Star, you would think SB 373 protected Abu Ghraib-style secret prison abuse of animals. Tully recently lamented the bill, arguing that it creates a society where “bad actors know they’ll be able to get away with more,” and “face less chance of public embarrassment and ridicule[.]” Of course, those playing by the rules will also face less chance of unwarranted public embarrassment and ridicule, and that’s the point the bill’s detractors are missing. But like the proverbial hammer-wielding carpenter for whom everything begins to look like a nail, Tully suggests that the weapons of free speech – “embarrassment and ridicule” – are the most effective tools society has to combat wrongdoing. You Tube justice pretends to be a crusader of the First Amendment, but has no patience with the Constitution as a whole. In reality, law enforcement is both more effective and better-equipped to address most criminal behavior, including animal cruelty. Aside from some specific exceptions, law enforcement officers must seek a warrant before entering onto private property. This requires probable cause, shown to a judge. Only then can the alleged wrongdoer be charged with a crime, and only if guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt will punishment be tolerated. These steps are rooted in protections as integral to the Constitution as the vaunted First Amendment. But for the Über Free Speech crowd, that path is too slow and ineffective. After all, they say, what if the system protects its own and the wrongdoer escapes the justice of the First Amendment posse? Ask Richard Jewel, George Zimmerman, or the Duke lacrosse team about the “justice” of embarrassment and ridicule in lieu of thorough criminal investigations. Tully even acknowledges that the bill creates an exception for those who turn the video over to law enforcement within 48 hours. But that’s still not good enough: “So, what, we’re going to hope that the sheriff in Farmtown, Indiana, suddenly joins PETA?” he asks. With all due respect, this question betrays the heart of the bill’s opposition. Not only is Tully impatient with Constitutional protections that happen to reside outside of the First Amendment, he doesn’t trust elected officials in “Farmtown” to uphold their oaths of office. (I’ve never been to Farmtown, but I’m guessing it lies somewhere outside of the commute between Carmel and downtown Indianapolis.) A single prosecution for animal cruelty, while effective, is not sensational. It’s not You Tube-worthy. Which means it’s dull news and not an effective fund raiser for PETA. By the way, would Tully’s boss object to a broadcasted hidden video of the goings-on of the editorial boardroom of the Indianapolis Star? Of course he would. Hidden video is only a noble cause when it finds wrongdoing. All of the hidden video that is taken and unused–or worse, falls in the hands of competitors–doesn’t catch bad behavior at all. It erodes private property rights. Author: Andy Perkins Rochester, Indiana. 2 thoughts on “There’s No Justice Like Show Justice” Leave a Reply You are commenting using your account.

Chin Augmentation (Chin Implant) Chin augmentation or mentoplasty is performed to improve the overall balance and proportion of the face. Better balance and strength of the chin can improve the harmony of the face and improve the jaw or neck line. A chin augmentation can be performed alone or combined with a rhinoplasty or facelift to provide an optimal result. Chin augmentation is performed with the use of an implant. Dr. Albert Fox prefers either a Gore-Tex or silastic implant material for chin augmentation. These materials have an excellent safety record and both offer a very pleasing aesthetic appearance. Chin augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery time is approximately one week. Contact Dr. Albert Fox for a confidential consultation and comprehensive facial evaluation.	<urn:uuid:9b9363c9-5599-44ea-bd80-80bfc340ef8b>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.02179509401321411, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.8809080123901367, "url": "http://www.foxfacialsurgery.com/chin-implants.htm", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs10-285185582", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_10_of_10/part.1050.parquet" }

Show an ad over header. AMP Exclusive: Trump ad accuses Biden of mainstreaming "radical" policies President Trump's re-election campaign is launching a new ad as Joe Biden accepts the Democratic nomination, accusing him of embracing "radical left" policies for the country. Why it matters: The 30-second ad, "Mainstream," aims to scare centrists and older Americans watching the Democratic National Convention who feel uneasy about figures to the left of Biden, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Driving the news: The television ad opens by quoting Sanders (D-Vt.) speaking at the convention on Monday night, saying that "many of the ideas we fought for — that just a few years ago were considered radical — are now mainstream.” • The ad's narrator predicts higher taxes, the elimination of fossil fuels, and amnesty for millions of undocumented immigrants and warns, "Your job, savings and future won't be safe in Joe Biden's America." Behind the scenes: Trump's campaign has been seeking to use socialism a wedge issue, and one officials tells Axios they think fresh convention footage from this week will help to paint Biden as "a socialist sympathizer." The other side: "Donald Trump is the most radical president in modern American history," said Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates, criticizing Trump's response to the pandemic and other issues and pushing back against claims that Biden would raise taxes on most Americans or ban fossil fuels. Details: The ad will air in five early voting states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin — and on national cable, and follows a digital ad released earlier this week attacking Biden's mental capacity.

Site icon The Times Group Malawi Court dismisses Sattar media gag attempt Judge Tembo By Deogratias Mmana: The High Court sitting in Blantyre has thrown out an application by businesspersons Zuneth Sattar and Ashok Nair to stop Times Group-affiliated Blantyre Newspapers Limited (BNL) and Nation Publications Limited newspapers from publishing any story touching on the search and seizure warrant that the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) executed on them. Sattar and Nair applied to the court without notice for an interlocutory injunction to stop the two media houses from publishing any stories about the ACB’s search and seizure warrant, arguing that doing so would potentially defame them to unestablished levels since the graft-busting body was still investigating them. According to the court order, dated November 18 2021 and signed by Judge Michael Tembo, the ACB went to the claimants’ offices, Ocean Industries, on October 5 2021, with a warrant of access, search and seizure which was obtained before the Chief Resident Magistrate Court in Lilongwe. The warrant was meant to enable ACB to access evidence that had to do with Xelite Stripes Ltd, Xavier and Mallachite FZE companies following allegations that the claimants obtained contracts from the Malawi Police Service and Malawi Defence Force using these companies by bribing politically exposed persons. The court order says Sattar is also being investigated in respect of the same allegations in the United Kingdom, where he resides. Lawyer for the two, Chikondi Chamkakala, made an application before the Chief Resident Magistrate Court to have the search and seizure warrant set aside but the application was dismissed and the court gave the ACB authority to deal with the seized items as part of their investigations into a matter it deems fit. The claimants argue that the publication of any story touching on the allegations at hand before the ACB has completed its investigations may be prejudiced to the investigations “and end up being defamatory of the claimants”. But the High Court has dismissed the application for the injunction. “In the foregoing circumstances, the application for an injunction made by the claimants without notice to the defendants is accordingly declined,” the order reads. One lawyer told The Daily Times that a gag order of the type that Sattar sought is a judicial ruling barring public disclosure or discussion by the press of information related to a case, further describing it as a super-injunction. The legal mind added that the party seeking the gag order is not named and the very discussion about the existence and merits of the injunction is prohibited. “A person that seeks a gag order mostly applies to the court for such an order without informing the other parties who are the target of the gag order. This is because the targeted parties would likely challenge the application and argue against its grant. In addition, the contestation attracts public attention that the applicant sought to avert. “The effectiveness of injunctions of this type is doubtful due to the multiplicity of ways with which they could be defied. In other jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, members of Parliament have used parliamentary privilege to bring out information that was the subject of a gagging order,” he said.

The hearing will be at Grace Baptist Church of East Springfield at 1553 E. 21st St. with department staff on hand at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the proposal with residents before the hearing. The Transportation Department proposes removing the on- and off-ramps at Pearl and Liberty streets to improve safety as part of overall improvements along the parkway. The project also includes concrete rehabilitation and resurfacing of the ramps. The project is scheduled to begin next summer at an estimated cost of $7.5 million. Comments (4) Add comment Liberty Seeker Liberty Seeker 10/27/12 - 08:35 am DOT also has a public notice DOT also has a public notice in todays paper for toll roads on the extension from Blanding to Chaffie. Dan dont you think has a little more urgency and need for public participation then the MLK Jr.? Just saying ..... Huggie Bear Huggie Bear 10/27/12 - 02:39 pm ummm Liberty Seeker, actually ummm Liberty Seeker, actually the issues on MLK DOES matter! You have the world's largest cigar manufacturer that uses the Liberty St. ramps, you also have Vulcan Materials that use those ramps, along with countless other businesses on MLK. So get your head out of the Westside! There isn't jack at Blanding and Chaffee that can compare to the impact this will have on businesses off of MLK. Liberty Seeker Liberty Seeker 10/27/12 - 11:55 pm Im more concerned with the Im more concerned with the State charging tolls in a city paying extra taxes to prevent such a thing then the State tearing up yet another of our roads for a project that will go through any way, as they want, not according to what the residents or users want. In the city of orange barrels wouldnt it be more prudent to finish other projects before tearing up yet more of our roads, ramps and bridges making our transportation problems even worse? Would it not be better for the business to have the least amount of disruption for the shortest amount of time with dedicated workers to start, work, then finish the project in the fastest turn around? So get you head out of what ever you have it in and think about the city as a whole instead of your little selfish corner of the world. Bender1977 10/28/12 - 10:52 am Hey guys, No need for Hey guys, No need for insults, we're all in this together. Everyone hates to see orange barrels when on the road. Both projects are equally important and both your concerns are equally legit. MLK is a safety project while the Chaffee is a capacity project. The MLK project is an SIS connector for I-95 and the shipyards meaning it meets criteria for a higher traffic demand than regular arterial roadways. In the future, that project will also boast a full interchange at the bend east of those roads which will alleviate traffic at those intersections and create an easier/safer route for truckers to get to I-95. The MLK project is also a safety project in that access management problems exist which is why they are holding a public hearing to shut down the ramps as mentioned in the article. If the public STRONGLY opposes it then they cannot shut them down unless there have been many fatalities as a direct result from those intersections being open. Look it up (google) in the Access Management Handbook... this is their process. Shutting down the ramps will eliminate the dangerous weaving sections in that area. This is relatively low cost in comparison to what is proposed for Brananfield Chaffee but is equally important. It's more of an immediate importance than Brananfield Chaffee which is more of a future demand. The MLK project will also provide many other safety upgrades between Boulevard and the Hart Bridge. And there is a bidding process for all of these projects that are going on around town. It's not the City or the State doing all this construction with limited manpower so multiple projects can easily go on at the simultaneously. They bid these projects out to contractors such as Hubbard, Superior, Archer Western, etc. who have many many employees for construction. That's several hundred employees as a whole in the Jacksonville area. The State CEI employees only oversee and make sure the contractors are following protocol meaning there are far less of them on hand compared to the "dedicated" contracted workers for each project. There are many projects going on around town at the same time like this that are going to disrupt traffic at any given time during the year. Sometimes these projects are near each other and other times they are not. These two aren't THAT close to each other where disruptions to either would impact the other project at all. Now the Philips Hwy resurfacing happening at the same time as I-95 concrete rehab in the same area... is another story. Ha. Brananfield Chaffee tolls are going to be a reality if people refuse to pay more in taxes. If you want the projects built then they'll have to toll it or raise our taxes. There's simply not enough money in FDOT's budget to fully pay for that road and also afford other projects around town. Say they don't build the project like many opponents want. The area out near Cecil, Oakleaf, north Middleburg, Blanding, etc is exploding with development. New development means new and more people driving on the roads. Then people will be complaining in the near future that those existing roads are very backed up (LOS F) and FDOT should do something about it. Well FDOT can say they tried to but nobody wanted to pay tolls or have a tax increase to fund it. These projects are crazy expensive and that money isn't free or grown on trees. It only makes sense to toll that corridor because out of towners as well as locals will be paying that toll because it'll serve as a bypass around Jacksonville for easier traveling once the entire outer beltway is constructed. If out of towners don't want to pay a little toll then they can drive through our city and perhaps stop and buy something to stimulate the economy. I do understand your positions and there's no right or wrong answer. It's easy to criticize FDOT's decisions when we don't have to withstand the backlash like they do when things go wrong or not as everyone wanted. Maybe we should cut them some slack for trying to help people be more safe.

I listened to the red-winged blackbird song and it’s similar, but not exactly what I heard. This bird the first two notes were very distinct, separate and more musical. 2. I saw a bird larger than a robin, but smaller than a crow perched vertically at the top of a tree which had upright branches. It did not perch like a woodpecker. The bird had a fan-shaped tail. I could not seethe head nor wings. The bird was in the shadows, but was dark and I could see no other markings. The song was Tweet-tweet-shrill and repeated after a short wait. Another of the same bird nearby responded and they traded calls for may be 2 minutes until the bird flew off. I saw a similar bird the next day, same time early evening, not yet sunset, same tree, same song/call. I have never seen nor heard this bird before, nor again, since then. I have listened to bird songs on the SongSearch app and Audobon web pages, with no luck. Thank you, MDawn 3. Is there something I need to do differently to attach the picture to make it viewable to everyone? Also, the co-worker who saw this bird said the male goes into the bird house while the female sits on the birdhouse perch. Is this common behavior? They seem to be building a nest in the birdhouse. 4. Small yellow bird with brown wings, and head. Dark eyes no rings. Short curved beak. Seen in a wooded area of backyard in northern Illinois. 5. Would your answer change if I said the bird was iridescent blue and a white front? I was given wrong information by the person who took the picture. Thank you for your quick response! MDawn 6. A co-worker had this bird visit a bird house he recently made and posted in his yard. I have never seen this bird before and have not been able to identify it. He said it was a bit smaller than a robin. I'm attaching a picture. This is in northern Illinois and he saw this on Saturday, May 18, 2019.

It was the brackets, mind you, that are the key here. Including brackets means that you're assigning a list to a list, in this case, the result of the grep operation into a list containing the variable $ok. Thus, the first thing grepped goes into the first variable, and you get "Some String". If you want to know how many things you got, you need to force a list to scalar conversion. That might sound fancy, but it's just a way of saying you want to assign the list directly to the variable instead of to a list of variables. No brackets. If you're a bit fuzzy, here's some examples; my @list = ("A","B","C"); my ($var) = @list; # $var becomes "A" my $var = @list; # $var becomes 3 my ($var) = scalar(@list); # $var becomes 3 my $var = scalar(@list); # $var becomes 3 (same idea) Log In?

The two Russian pairs share the same brilliant coach and the same ramshackle ice rink in St. Petersburg, and now they've shared the same Olympic podium. If Nikita Khruschev had been there, he would have been banging his shoe on the table in delight. Powerful Artur Dmitriev, who looks as if he should be costumed in barrel staves, became the first skater to win Olympic gold medals with different partners as he and Oksana Kazakova captured the 1998 title on Tuesday night. Dmitriev, 30, won the 1992 Olympic gold medal with Natalia Mishkutenok. The understudy Russians, Elena Berezhnaya, 20, and Anton Sikharulidze, 21, won the silver medal despite an elaborate but flawed program that left them ker-splat on the ice with 20 seconds to go in their long program. "It's a new finishing pose," cracked Sikhuralidze, an angular smart-aleck whose nerves almost betrayed his delicate partner, Berezhnaya. It was almost precisely two years ago that she was undergoing brain surgery after her skull was split open by the skate blade of her former partner. She lost _ but has now regained _ her ability to speak, and Tuesday night at the White Ring arena she might well have leaned over and said, "Shut up, Anton, we were lucky to get the silver." The silver might could just as easily have gone to Mandy Woetzel and Ingo Steuer, the reigning world champions from Germany. In second place after the short program, they did a lyrical routine that opened with voluminous side-by-side triple toe loops. Woetzel later spun out of a double axel and Steuer, skating with barely renovated ligaments in his shoulder, looked like he could have used a spotter as he lifted his partner four times in the 4-minute, 40-second program. "Yay!" crowed Steuer afterward. "We are very, very happy about our performance. I have no words for this. It's my first Olympic medal and my last Olympic medal." The pewter medal _ fourth place _ went to Kyoko Ina and Jason Dungjen, the U.S. champions. He touched his hand down on a triple toe loop and their sit-spins were wildly unsynchronized. "Mistakes happen," Dungjen said. "Unfortunately they happened to us." They happened to the other American pair _ the husband-and-wife team of Jenni Meno and Todd Sand. It was clearly not their night, not from their bungled beginning triple toe loops to the unforced error that sent Meno crashing to the ice on some simple footwork. "What can I say?" their coach, John Nicks, told them as they sat in the kiss-and-cry area. "I'm speechless." Nor were there words suitable to describe Kazakova and Dmitriev's winning program. She looked as regal as a czarina, just that serene, and the muscular Dmitriev handled her like a Faberge egg. They were lucky, they know, to have found each other. After the 1994 Olympics, Dmitriev's partner, Natalia Mishkutenok, decided to retire. But he was only 26 and wanted to keep going. "I just like amateur sport," he said. "It's tough for the mind and very difficult for concentration. When Natalia finished, I found Oksana, maybe with the help of God." God, perhaps, and also Tamara Moskvina. The elfin coach with a delightfully fractured command of English developed the 1984 Olympic pairs champions, Elena Valova and Oleg Vasiliev, and then, in 1992, she coached Dmitriev and Mishkutenok. Now she has a new brace of champions with another in the wings. "It's very interesting to work with such great pairs and two great and different personalities," she said. "It's a great challenge, very hard work, and it takes from me a lot of brain." She also credited her husband, Igor Moskin, who helps her coach. "He's kind of a whip," she said, "and I'm kind of like cake."

In particular, fiber Raman probes play a crucial role for in vivo and ex vivo tissue analysis. However, the high-fluorescence background typically contributed by the auto fluorescence from both a tissue sample and the fiber-probe interferes strongly with the relatively weak Raman signal. Here we demonstrate the implementation of wavelength-modulated Raman spectroscopy (WMRS) to suppress the fluorescence background while analyzing tissues using fiber Raman probes. We have observed a significant signal-to-noise ratio enhancement in the Raman bands of bone tissue, which have a relatively high fluorescence background. Implementation of WMRS in fiber-probe-based bone tissue study yielded usable Raman spectra in a relatively short acquisition time (similar to 30 s), notably without any special sample preparation stage. Finally, we have validated its capability to suppress fluorescence on other tissue samples such as adipose tissue derived from four different species.

But I’d tell everybody I’m writing a song about my life. Really they were just squiggly lines, but that’s when I knew I wanted to sing Current three favorite rappers: T.I., Drake and Nicki Minaj If I could be an animal, I’d be: A leopard or cheetah. I’ve always been fascinated by felines Go-to snack: Maltesers Most attractive quality on the opposite sex: Eyes Side hustle: I’ve got children, so I write children’s books for them. I plan on publishing them, but I’m focused on music. So maybe next year I feel sexiest when: I slip on a brand-new dress Most embarrassing stage moment: My dress came undone while I was on tour [laughs]! You couldn’t see it, but I had to pull up the dress Biggest musical influences: Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Lisa Gerrard Why I’m about to blow: My voice is unusual. I’m quite a vulnerable singer, and I used to think that was a hindrance. But I’ve learned that it’s a strength, because a lot of people feel vulnerable—and they relate to me. I’m not the person onstage that thinks she’s amazing, but I own that.

"Large Hadron Collider to Have "Practical" Spin-Offs?" John Roach September 12th, 2008 National Geographic News Already Providing Benefits The computer network set up to process the mountains of data generated by each collision is already inspiring spin-offs, noted Andy Parker, a professor of high energy physics at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, who helped design the grid system. Parker is also involved with a Cambridge-based company that is using the grid technology, which links together thousands of computers, to better index images on the Internet. Such a system determines the task to be done, the processing power required, checks for availability, sends the task out, gets it done, and ships it back to the scientist—all while the person sits at a desk. "I don't have to do anything to achieve [all] that," Parker said. Technologies developed for earlier atom smashers—such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider that booted up in New York in 2000 and the Fermilab Tevatron started in 1987 in Illinois—are today ingrained in mainstream society, Parker noted. Positron emission tomography (PET) scans, for example, are common at most major hospitals to make images of the insides of patients' bodies, often to look for cancerous tumors. The technique stems from general studies of antimatter and the use of particle detectors, Parker said. And more medical professionals are turning to proton beams similar to those used in the LHC to blast away tumors deep inside bodies. "What you can do there is send a beam of protons into the patient, which does essentially no damage at all to the tissues on the way in," Parker explained. "All the damage is done at the point where the protons stop. And by tuning the energy of the protons, you can make them stop inside the tumor." As scientists working with the LHC learn to better focus and control proton beams, the improvements will likely trickle down to the medical profession, he added. Faster Than Light Future spin-offs from the LHC are less certain. "We don't know what we're going to find out," Parker said. Though admittedly far-fetched, one sexy idea is that the LHC may find extra dimensions of space/time. If so, the discovery could open the door to technologies that allow people to travel faster than the speed of light. In a sense, Parker explained, scientists may discover an ability to move chunks of space-time from one place to another through those extra dimensions, effectively bypassing the known laws of physics. "If you went to the 23rd century and there were people flying around faster than the speed of light, you would say, What is it you found out that enabled you to do this?" Parker said. "And the answer might be, It all started when we discovered there were these extra dimensions." Krauss, of Arizona State University, said that even without such advances, curiosity-driven research is fundamental to maintaining our current standard of living for generations into the future. "It will help create innovation and enhance the economic future of our children in ways that we don't know," he said, adding that the chance to work with machines such as the LHC often attracts students to the sciences. Krauss added that the big science questions being probed with the LHC are also personally relevant and practical for all members of society. He explained that just as people are made of stardust, the origins of those particles in stardust stretch back to the beginning of the universe. "If it all works out, you'll get a better understanding of what you're doing here," he said. "And, to me, that is the greatest benefit of science."

HUDSON – Mohini Ghoshroy and Margot Joyce wondered why the recycle bins in their high school cafeteria were often not used, so they decided to investigate. The reason they found was simple. Kids didn’t know where they were and that they even existed, Ghoshroy said. Classmates since kindergarten, the Husdon High School juniors are interested in science and are concerned about climate change. Recycling is seen as one way to slow it down, they said. The pair's curiosity led to a project to increase recycling at the school. They redesigned the bins by adding colorful signs with sayings, such as “Use Me." They also created an infomercial that urges students to recycle and explains what they can do to protect the environment. The video will be played at next month's annual United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) conference on climate change Jan. 11-14 in Lisbon, Portugal. “From the research we’ve done, people don’t know what they can do to slow climate change,” Ghoshroy said. “Recycling is one of the better known ways to affect climate change.” The project launched by Ghoshroy and Joyce spurred a steady increase in recycling over the past few weeks. "I always tell people to recycle their bottles at lunch," Joyce said with a smile. Ghoshroy and Joyce will travel with high school science teacher Judy Pavao to the UNESCO conference. This year's theme is "Let's Resolve Climate Change! How?" Hudson High School has participated for the last eight years and is typically the only American school invited, however, Newton South High School will also attend this year. "It's a small group from America so we're going to have to step up to represent our country," Joyce said. High school students from around the world were tasked with coming up with creative ways to resolve climate change in their schools. "There's no rubric, no checklist," Pavao said of the topic choice. "We're never going to see two projects that are the same." The students said it was easy to devise a recycling project after noticing the empty bins during lunch. "We're pretty confident in our project,"Ghoshroy said Previously, Hudson students examined the biodiversity and water quality in the Assabet River, which flows throughout town, and studied the effect agriculture has on the region. During the conference Joyce and Ghoshory will also educate conference attendees on an American cultural activity. The trio will visit museums, castles and historical sites. "We're doing a lot of cultural activities," Pavao said. The eager students and Pavao called the conference an exciting opportunity to share their work, ideas and culture on a grand scale. "It's cool we get to represent our country," Ghoshroy said.	<urn:uuid:ff8d05cf-aaf4-44c5-96d9-4f9f722137ae>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.021458864212036133, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9674422740936279, "url": "https://www.metrowestdailynews.com/news/20161222/hudson-students-to-present-at-unesco-conference-for-8th-straight-year", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs5-083230443", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_05_of_10/part.79.parquet" }
