them. They said absolutely!
In racing and business most people have strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths in racing is endurance. One of my weaknesses in racing is pacing. I tend to start out too fast and then lose momentum. My hope was that running with a pace team, I’d avoid this because they’d make sure I ran at a consistent pace. They did! Not only did they help me run a consistent pace, they paced a little faster than 9:45. What that meant was my finishing time for a 15k (9.3 mile) race was more than 8 minutes faster than the previous finishing time. Now, if you’re not a runner, that may not sound like a lot, but it is. It’s almost one minute per mile faster than my previous personal best. To put that in business terms, that would be like completing a major project more than a week early.
As we crossed the finish line, I couldn’t thank the pacers enough. I was so grateful for their help. And I was equally grateful to Bart Yasso and the other experts at Runner’s World who designed such a fabulous training program that helped me push myself to a goal I would have only dreamed of a year ago.
You may think the point of this story is the importance of asking for help when you need it. It is. But it’s also about showing gratitude. While seeking expert advice to help you reach your goals is a good strategy in racing and in business, it’s also important to thank those who help you achieve those goals.
Always remember, while you may cross the finish line in racing and in business by yourself, there were others who helped you get there. You should never be too busy to thank people for their time, expertise and willingness to help you. And sometimes thanking people once or twice, just isn’t enough.
The next time you reach a goal, think about the people who helped you achieve that milestone. Then, pick up the phone, type an email, send a hand written note or whatever you feel is appropriate to let those people know how much you appreciate their help. Then, take your gratitude to the next level…and when someone asks you for help, don’t hesitate to give it.

The same colour, which if you’re well-disposed you’d describe as milk chocolate, is used for the base of the flatbed, when you lift the lid.

So here’s a simple guide on how to pick up weights and put them down again, while looking like you know what you’re doing.
Gyms often keep the free weights in a separate area from the cardio machines and the weight machines. When you get more used to lifting, you’ll find that convenient. But if you’re an outsider, it can be intimidating. My college gym had the weights and the machines in two separate rooms; another gym I tried had them on separate floors.
Either way, check out what’s available. If weights are in their own area but there’s no wall separating them from the rest of the equipment, design a workout around the machines at the perimeter of the weight room, and just watch.
Ask for a tour. It is totally normal to be a regular in the cardio room and know nothing about the weight room. Staff will be happy to find someone to show you around and answer questions.
How many benches are there?
How small are the smallest dumbbells?
Is there empty space on the floor to do exercises like deadlifts?
How many squat cages/power racks are there?

Blazing with need. She can’t avoid being burned.
Werewolf Damon Trahan lives by one rule, protect the pack with his life. Content to be left alone, he avoids complications until he is ordered to rescue a general’s daughter from a rival Wolfpack . . . or die trying. Little does he know she will tempt him to break every rule he’s ever known, because the opposing pack isn’t the only enemy in Ava’s life. Her own father has been keeping deadly secrets from Ava, and now it’s up to Damon to convince her of the truth before it’s too late.
Ava Renfroe is tired of Alpha males running her life. Growing up the daughter of a strict military general made her crave independence more than air. First she’s kidnapped, and the danger ignites a rage in her body she’s never felt before. Adding insult to injury, her commanding and arrogant new bodyguard is exactly the kind of man she doesn’t want. But try telling that to her out of control libido. Being on the run with a dark and powerful stranger will push Ava so far she might never recover. But this wild, needy thing stirring to life inside her?
With the entire Wolfpack hunting them, there is nothing Damon can do now but keep her close . . . and let their passions burn.
This is a very busy book with narrow escapes, rescues fraught with peril, werewolf politics and a romance that has a lot of hurdles to overcome – one of which is survival of one or both of the protagonists. I am in-like with this novel.

It first starts out with a lengthy prologue. Halfway through the book I didn’t understand its relevance; why go through so much detail in a prologue? It took me almost to the end of the novel to figure it out. Damon protected the heroine even though they were perfect strangers. It is a precursor to his role later on. The hero is a protector, a Guardian. It’s an avocation that comes naturally to him and fate has a hand in steering his protective instincts towards the perfect person to shield, in a most dramatic way – Ava.
Ava starts off kind of weak; at least I got that impression in the prologue because she’s impulsive in her wish to be independent. I don’t think she was mature enough at that point to realize her self-worth. Her short interaction with Damon seemed to be the turning point because when I met Ava in chapter one, she wasn’t the same – she was better.
I feel the need to alert readers to one pertinent fact about the prologue – don’t expect it to play a role in any way at any point in the novel. For some reason, Ava doesn’t recognize Damon as meeting in the past and Damon never alludes to it, mentions or reveals it. It’s like it has no bearing on the story, or plot. I think it’s to introduce a reader to the hero and heroine and allude to the fact a connection between them is fated and inevitable. The catalyst for change in their lives occurred during the prologue, and that’s it as far as I can figure.
As for the meat of the story, the suspense and drama start fast in the first chapter and everything builds from there – the clues, the escapes and the forced closeness between Damon, the Guardian, and Ava, the rescuee turned sleuth heroine. What almost happens to Ava is terrifyingly horrid – she was going to be raped by a group of men/werewolves just shy of a platoon. That’s a hellacious thought and one a reader won’t have to endure. There’s just enough detail to paint a picture of a narrow escape of a fate worse than death. Eventually, the clues mount up and point the direction the hero has to go in order to ensure Av | 512 | 1 |

The latter part of her performance saw a blue-haired Shen doing a rendition of her track “Bad Habit,” which was released in April 2020. The track has since amassed 800,000 views on Youtube, which is one of Shenseea’s lowest charting tracks on the platform for 2020. Despite what many would consider a slow year, Shen managed to secure well over a couple of millions on her releases on the platform.
Some of her standout hits include the music video for “Trick’a Treat,” with over 8 million views; “The Sidechick Song,” which stirred controversy with its edgy content leading to over 16 million views; and the audio for “Wasabi,” which is comfortably moving towards 4 million views.
Shenseea had a big year in 2020.
Shenseea also worked with some of the top music video directors to provide some truly interesting video concepts for the likes of “Good Comfort,” in which she played a tough cop. That video earned her over 6 million views, which was rivaled by her supermarket excursion in “Sure Sure,” which snagged over 4 million views on Youtube. Still, those numbers dwindle when compared to Tarrus Riley’s “Lighter,” on which she was featured. The official music video has since earned 35 million views on Youtube.
“Rebel” and “Bad Alone” are late entries in the impressive 2020 catalog securing 8 million and 3 million views, respectively. No wonder the songstress was provided with the prestigious title of Female Artiste of the Year by The Jamaican Gleaner.
With such an extraordinary 2020, all eyes are on Shenseea for 2021, and her fiery freestyle is definitely one of the best ways to kick things off. During a 2020 interview, the “Blessed” singer highlighted that she would be releasing her much anticipated debut album sometime soon, fingers crossed that it takes place in 2021.

laps. McClelland fought back well to snap up the second spot in the major final, with Frazier Carr (University of Bath CC) just missing out by two seconds to qualify for the 20k final – despite arguably being the most attacking rider in the heat. Brendan Drewett (Fareham Wheelers CC) took the other spot in the 20k final, with early leader Mitchell sadly only able to qualify for the 15k final.
Matt Gittings showed displays of brilliance in the heats
The final heat had a rather frantic start with Harry Strudley (University of Bath) taking the early lead. However, this dominance faded after six laps with Vojtech Blazejovsky (Brixton CC) and Alistair Rutherford taking charge at the front of the race. The two riders stayed at the front for the remainder of the race, qualifying for the major final nearly a lap ahead of third placed Connor Woodford (Willesden CC). Johannes Roux (Giant Cycling Club-Halo Films) took the other place in the 20k final.
The 15k derny final was contested by just four riders and the riders remained bunched together – and in the same order – for the entire race. In the closing three laps, Strudley and Mitchell broke away from the other two finalists, with a frantic sprint ensuing in the final straight. Strudley, paced well by Jason Pitt, came out on top to win the race, finishing just a five metres clear of Mitchell. Beth Engvis (Scarlet Fire Racing) rode well to finish third, with Jacob Kilby (Palmer Park Velo) taking fourth spot.
Alistair Rutherford was paced to victory with perfection by Pip Taylor
The 20k final saw Tom Simpson steal an early lead in the race; a lead he was able to sustain for a full 10 laps. However, perhaps due to going off rather harder than planned, the group caught the tiring Simpson with 30 laps remaining on the board. It was now Drewett’s turn to take to the front and, under the expert pacing of Tony Hibbert, he managed to maintain it until Frazer Carr, who had clearly been biding his time, attacked the lead with just four laps remaining on the board. Despite the fast pace, the race remained tightly packed until the last lap when Drewett attacked Carr’s lead, passing him in the final straight to steal the top spot; his final lap ultimately proving faster than any lap in the | laps.

Carr finished just half a bike length adrift, with Roux and O’Brien taking third and fourth respectively just a few metres back.
The 25k final featured a veritable line-up: Matt Gittings may be reigning national derny champion, but Alistair Rutherford has a string of impressive track credentials including gold medals from the recent National Masters and a win in the 30k derny race at the Bordeaux-Paris race at Reading in May. Competition would be tight. Gittings took the early lead, successfully holding it for 25 laps until last year’s winner, Oliver Moors, who had been lying in wait and passed Gittings with 30 laps remaining on the board. Despite the best efforts of Mottram, the race for the win soon became a three-horse race between Gittings, Moors and Rutherford. Rutherford charged past Gittings with 15 laps remaining on the board, resisting further attacks and slowly increasing his dominance on the race. In the duel for second place, Moors looked to be the stronger rider in the closing laps, but a last burst of speed by Gittings in the final lap saw him pass Moors. Rutherford ended up finishing nine seconds clear of Gittings, with Moors a further four seconds further adrift. After losing contact with the leading three riders, Mottram was unable to contest the final podium places but took a convincing fourth spot.
DernyFest Podium:
1st Place – Alistair Rutherford (Pacer: Pip Taylor)
2nd Place – Matt Gittings (Pacer: George Gilbert)
3rd Place – Oliver Moors (Pacer: Sean Bannister)
Rutherford adds yet another derny victory to his impressive credentials and Gittings, who was undoubtedly carrying a level of fatigue having only flown in from Texas two days prior to the event, should be pleased with a well fought second place. Moors’ display of dominance in the previous year could not be repeated this time, but he must surely be satisfied with his ability to launch attack after attack throughout the closing stages. The pacers themselves also deserve credit: Pip Taylor piloted the winning derny for Rutherford, with Gittings having George Gilbert to thank. Sean Bannister paced Moors to third place.

Monte police Friday night after a chase, sheriff's deputies said.
The incident occurred at 9:35 p.m. at Fieldcrest Street and Esto Avenue, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau. An El Monte officer attempted to stop an SUV in the area of Valley Boulevard and Tyler Avenue for a suspected DUI investigation. The driver failed to stop and a chase occurred.
The driver collided with another motorist during the chase. He stopped at an intersection and police officers exited their vehicles to conduct a felony traffic stop. The driver then drove into a cul-de-sac, turned around and drove towards the officers, who were standing outside of their vehicles. Three officers discharged their weapons, and a police shooting occurred, sheriff's deputies said.

Tissue engineers create a new way to assemble artificial tissues, using ‘biological Legos’ — cells transformed into bricks.

Researchers at the MIT-Harvard Division of Health Sciences and Technology built this tubular tissue by encasing cells in polymer "bricks" and attaching them to a tube-shaped template.
Tissue engineering has long held promise for building new organs to replace damaged livers, blood vessels and other body parts. However, one major obstacle is getting cells grown in a lab dish to form 3-D shapes instead of flat layers.
Researchers at the MIT-Harvard Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) have come up with a new way to overcome that challenge, by encapsulating living cells in cubes and arranging them into 3-D structures, just as a child would construct buildings out of blocks.
The new technique, dubbed “micromasonry,” employs a gel-like material that acts like concrete, binding the cell “bricks” together as it hardens. Ali Khademhosseini, assistant professor of HST, and former HST postdoctoral associate Javier Gomez Fernandez describe the work in a paper published online last week in the journal Advanced Materials.

And then again, I decided to start researching the Soros-related angle more in-depth. It literally came down to searching Franklin Leonard’s name in conjunction with known Soros organizations.
And one day, while randomly searching “Franklin Leonard” and “Ploughshares” (A Soros outfit), I hit pay dirt:
ReInvent – by Peter Leyden.
This is another one of those think-tank styled institutes, and yes, once again, its profoundly tied to International Financial Terrorist George Soros:
Reinvent was founded by Peter Leyden, and right there on his site, it says he worked for George Soros at Next Agenda, from 2008-2012, helping him establish the “Institute for New Economic Thinking.”
And what follows is a list of their network, culled directly from their site.
What I was surprised to discover (though in hindsight, I shouldn’t have been), however, was a tangled web of deep state assets, academics, Soros-funded influencers, literal CIA MKUltra programmers.
The amount of information was so overwhelming, and so diverse, I decided to create infographics based on their page, color-coding each relevant individual, and providing notes when necessary.
By all means, do not consider this list authoritative. The way Soros in particular works is through shell companies and hidden groups. I may have very well missed details or relationships here. And just because I didn’t highlight someone, doesn’t mean they’re not relevant to what we’re talking about here. For instance, there’s a Hardware lead at Google featured on this list. Still someone with a very notable position for what we’re talking about here.
Other times, the connection might not be so obvious, but still extant.
For instance, in this list is Ari Wallach of Synthesis Corp. On the surface, it may look like they’ve never worked with a Soros-related Org, but in actuality, they were partners on Obama’s Partnership for Refugees. See:

Others, like Nikki Silvestri (of Soil and Shadow), on the surface, seem to be independent. But if you dig back, you find she previously worked at Van Jones’ Green for All, which was a Communist Climate group funded by Soros’ Open Society, Al Gore, and Nancy Pelosi.
Life after divestment: how to spend the money saved from fossil fuel investments
As more US colleges divest from fossil fuel companies, a new question arises: what to do with all that cash?
This January, Swarthmore asked a group of experts – including myself; environmental educator David Orr; former JP Morgan managing director John Fullerton; Nikki Silvestri, executive director at nonprofit Green for All;
Soros Money Financed Communist Van Jones
When the list of donors to the Van Jones “Green for All” organization is examined, one name stands out-the Open Society Institute of billionaire George Soros. The Green for All 2008 annual report is also notable for the pictures of the powerful people who associated with Jones.

The Green for All 2008 annual report is also notable for the pictures of the powerful people who associated with Jones. They include House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Vice President Al Gore.
While the Open Society Institute was supporting Green for All in 2008, when Jones was running it, the Soros-funded organization was financially underwriting the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights when Jones was in charge of that group. The Open Society Institute gave the Ella Baker Center $151,800 in 2006 and $140,000 in 2007. Jones ran this group during the years 1996-2007. He then emerged as a senior fellow at the Soros-funded Center for American Progress.
Other funders of the Green for All group included Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, the Rockefeller family, Men’s Warehouse, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the New World Foundation, the Schwab Charitable Fund, the Streisand Foundation, the Service Employees International Union, and the Tides Center and Foundation.
With all that in mind, understand, the web I uncovered here is staggering:

Bangladesh who abducted a Hindu girl while the President did absolutely nothing to stop him or get justice for the girl.
But when asked whether this has become the situation now and whether earlier, at least, the situation for minority was better, he shakes his head in denial.
Giving an example of his days at Dhaka University’s Jagannath Hall that was used by thousands of Hindu boys, he tells me that there were times when Muslim female students would drop in to chat and cook without any fear.
But these very girls would never dare to enter Muslim male student’s rooms.
He says that in the early ’70s, a girl was forced to jump from the 3rd floor to avoid being assaulted at Muslim boys’ ‘Surjya Sen Hall’. Nothing ever happened like that in Jagannath Hall.

Copyright © 2020 by CT. Hosted By Infiviz Drum Heads: Emperor’s Trym Torson on Recording Mammoth Toms
Formed in 1991, Norway’s Emperor became one of black metal’s most influential bands, incorporating classical motifs, and even elements of Norwegian folk music in its bombastic, pagan assault. The band’s violent history—three members were separately charged with arson, burglary, and murder—prompted it to implode in | 2001, but it reformed in 2005. Here drummer Trym Torson details how he records his signature tom sound.
Roberto Martinelli
“I use Premier Maple Classic drums, and when I first signed with Premier, I asked for the biggest toms they had because I wanted them to sound huge,” says Torson. “But when I tried the 12" in both the deep model and the shorter, power tom, the shorter tom sounded way better. If the shell is too deep, the sound reflects back upon itself, and sound against sound reduces the volume. So I’m really glad I ordered the power toms—I didn’t even change the heads that came with them. I’ve got 8"x7", 10"x8", 12"x9", and 14"x11" rack toms, and 16"x16" and 18"x16" floor toms.
“Here’s what I do to get a big tom sound. First, I make sure the tone of the toms is optimum for producing a thundering recorded sound. I have this tuning instrument that you just put on the rim, and it tells you the tension of the head. The manual gives you rough guidelines about how a tom should be tuned if you want a certain sound. So I did all the top-head tunings to make the toms fairly high, so you can hear the attack. Then, I tuned the bottom heads a pitch down to get the low frequencies. It can be a nightmare to get the lower heads right—it’s so easy for them to get out of tune.
“We used one microphone to record each tom, but we split the signal to two separate tracks. One track was used to bring out the attack, so you could hear all the hits I played. There was no low end at all on this track. The other track was worked to make the tom sound as good as possible—round, rumbling, and intense. This method allowed us to produce all the power and all the attack of the toms.
“Even with this method, though, the recordings never come out the way I want them. It’s the best we can do, but I guess you can’t have everything you want. I can’t make my drums sound like machine guns and like an old Led Zeppelin record at the same time. In addition, the drums have | 512 | 1 |
ol/L (20–25 ng/mL) to prevent adverse musculoskeletal outcomes, including falls and fractures.78 The target serum level for prevention of other diseases is not clear but may be higher, in the range of 75–80 nmol/L (30–32 ng/mL). However, there is currently limited high-level evidence to support these higher 25-OHD serum levels.56
Clinicians, researchers and policymakers should be aware of the imprecision of current 25-OHD testing, and exercise caution when interpreting results in clinical practice. Although the performance of radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked assays is acceptable, the bias and imprecision of many automated methods may be problematic at the lower, clinically and analytically important range (< 50 nmol/L) of the assay. While adoption and alignment of assays to the National Institute of Standards and Technology reference material should reduce bias,79 imprecision will remain problematic. Consequently, some laboratories are using more exacting methods of analysis, such as liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry.79 All Australian and New Zealand laboratories offering 25-OHD testing are required to be enrolled in external proficiency programs (such as the Vitamin D External Quality Assessment Scheme [DEQAS]), which allow each laboratory to monitor its performance compared with its peers.
Supplemental vitamin D doses required to achieve targets
Some studies have shown that with supplemental vitamin D3, 25-OHD levels reach a plateau at about 8 weeks, after rising by, on average, about 0.7 nmol/L for each 40 IU (1 μg) per day of supplemental vitamin D3 (ie, an increase of about 17 nmol/L for each 1000 IU [25 μg] per day).73,80 However, at any given dose there is considerable individual variation in the plateau level achieved. Although the increment is negatively correlated to the baseline 25-OHD concentration, it is not significantly affected by race, sex or age.80,81 Obesity, however, is associated with lower levels of 25-OHD and a reduced dose response to oral vitamin D or UV radiation.7,12 As it may take up to 2–5 months for serum levels of 25-OHD to plateau,80,82 retesting should not take place before 3 months.
There appears to be little difference in 25-OHD values whether the total amount of vitamin D is given as a daily, weekly or monthly dose, with | ol/L (20–25 ng/mL) to prevent adverse musculoskeletal outcomes, including falls and fractures.78 The target serum level for prevention of other diseases is not clear but may be higher, in the range of 75–80 nmol/L (30–32 ng/mL).

There appears to be little difference in 25-OHD values whether the total amount of vitamin D is given as a daily, weekly or monthly dose, with | no clear indication that one dosing schedule is more effective than another. Intermittent dosing may be more convenient in some settings, such as nursing homes,83 and may also achieve better long-term compliance.73 There is conflicting evidence about whether vitamin D3 is more effective than vitamin D2 in raising 25-OHD levels,84,85 but virtually all oral vitamin D supplements available in Australia and New Zealand are vitamin D3. There are currently no generally available, Therapeutic Goods Administration-approved parenteral preparations of vitamin D, although these might be helpful where ability to swallow, malabsorption or compliance are problems.
Recommendations for assessment and management of vitamin D deficiency are shown in Box 5. To treat moderate to severe deficiency, it would be reasonable to use 3000–5000 IU (75–125 μg) of vitamin D per day for at least 6–12 weeks, although there are no long-term safety data for these doses. This will usually return serum 25-OHD levels to the target range, although smaller daily doses of 2000 IU might be expected to increase 25-OHD levels by 34 nmol/L, as noted earlier. As there is such an individual variation of response to vitamin D supplementation, 25-OHD levels should be checked after 3 months. If adequate levels are not achieved, consideration should be given to possible underlying gastrointestinal disorders, such as coeliac disease. Most patients whose 25-OHD levels have normalised will need ongoing treatment at a maintenance dose of around 1000–2000 IU (25–50 μg) per day or equivalent.
For adults in disadvantaged communities at high risk of vitamin D deficiency, such as dark-skinned migrants from low socioeconomic backgrounds, a strong case could be made to routinely provide vitamin D supplements, at the same dose used to treat moderate to severe deficiency, as early as possible, without initially measuring serum 25-OHD levels. As low calcium intake and associated hyperparathyroidism increase the degradation of vitamin D compounds,67,69,84 a daily intake of 1000–1300 mg of calcium, preferably from calcium-rich foods, should be encouraged.
According to the best evidence currently available, adequate serum 25-OHD levels of ≥ 50 nmol/L at the end of winter (10–20 nmol/L higher at the end of summer to allow for a seasonal decrease), along with recommended dietary calcium intakes and weight-bearing or muscle strengthening exercise, are required for optimal bone and muscle function, at least | 512 | 1 |

There will be plenty of bloodshed here in Eretz Yisroel, Shelo Naida, but it won’t be destroyed. Those that are far from Hashem and don’t have the Zechus to come back to Hashem will be destroyed with the buildings, will be destroyed with the Edomites and the Yishmaelites and all other peoples that don’t accept Hakodosh Boruch Hu as their Creator. So what do we have to do? How can we get through all of this? We have to believe completely that whatever Hashem does is for our good, no matter what.
There is only one relationship in this world. It is the person with Hakodosh Boruch Hu. That may sound difficult for you because you have children, you have husbands, you have wives that you love very much.

How will we be able to get through all of this because even if we don’t actually see this happening next to us it will be such a shock when we know so many people in those places and even if we don’t know them still it will be a shock. It will be a terrible shock. I don’t think that any generation before ours since the Creation, except for of course Sedom and Ammorah experienced such a thing, such a catastrophe, such a horrible terrible type of destruction. Even in Sedom and Ammorah it wasn’t the size of what’s going to be now. It’s dwarfed next to what’s going to be now. Don’t you understand? There will be plenty of bloodshed here in Eretz Yisroel, Shelo Naida, but it won’t be destroyed. Those that are far from Hashem and don’t have the Zechus to come back to Hashem will be destroyed with the buildings, will be destroyed with the Edomites and the Yishmaelites and all other peoples that don’t accept Hakodosh Boruch Hu as their Creator. So what do we have to do? How can we get through all of this? We have to believe completely that whatever Hashem does is for our good, no matter what.
There is only one relationship in this world. It is the person with Hakodosh Boruch Hu. That may sound difficult for you because you have children, you have husbands, you have wives that you love very much. True, but when push comes to shove we are only the children of Hakodosh Boruch Hu, all of us, and we have been in many Gilgulim here in this world and in every Gilgul we might have | had a different husband, a different wife, children not always the same, and we have had different situations that we had to overcome. We are so low and now is our chance finally to pull ourselves up and come back. When we get to the point where we greet Moshiach, Be’ezras Hashem, don’t worry. Every Neshoma will have its true, true Zivig and every child will know its true parents, and we all will know and feel and have no question about the fact that we as a people have only one Father and that is Hakodosh Boruch Hu, and our whole lives, our whole beings will be involved in only one occupation coming closer and closer to Him. In order to come closer to Him we will eventually drop all our flesh and blood characteristics and become totally, totally spiritual and become one with Him.
Lately we have seen many tragedies. Tonight one of the Bochurim that was killed in the tragic car accident in Holland was buried. He has a very special name, Langleben, “a long life”. May he have a long life, a life of eternity, he was a Bochur that was working to be close to Hashem as was the other boy that was killed. Both trying their best to be good Jews, trying to do what Hashem wants us to do.
Why did they have to die? I can’t answer you why these particular ones had to die, but I can tell you this that the latest tragedies are a message to us that we must, must do Teshuva, and realize what we are doing wrong. When Hashem brings down so many tragedies on Am Yisroel at one time we must stop and think and take stock of our lives of what we may be doing wrong. There was a terrible incident in Crown Heights also, and lately there have been many tragedies all over the Frum Jewish world Shelo Naidah. We must open our eyes and try to figure out where we are going wrong. It’s not a pat on the back for us. It’s a Potsh in the face for us so we will wake up. So please understand that Hashem is not happy. He wants to save His Am, but generally speaking we are going in the wrong direction. Am Yisroel you better wake up! Stop the Machlokes. Stop the Pritzus. Stop the running after the Gashmius | 512 | 1 |

Number of foreign fighters in Syria nearly doubles
Up to 11,000 fighters from more than 70 nations have joined the struggle in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad, almost doubling estimates made earlier this year.
The number of individuals from western Europe taking up arms has tripled to up to 1,900 and includes up to 366 from Britain, according to research by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ISCR) at King’s College, London. The number reported from France has quadrupled while Belgium has the highest per capita rate.
Syria is becoming as big a magnet for Muslim fighters as Afghanistan was in the 1980s when an estimated 35,000 foreigners joined the mujahedeen ranks against Soviet invaders.
But the greater cause was more probably the deepening involvement in the war of Shia fighters from Lebanon and Iraq on the side of Assad, whose Alawite faith is an offshoot of Shia Islam and who is backed by Iran, the major Shia power. “For radical Sunnis, if you see this Syrian government supported by Shia Iran and Hezbollah, it becomes almost a civilizational conflict, almost as if America has intervened in the Middle East,” said Prof Neumann.

Religious Leaders’ Views on Radical Life Extension
No religious group in the United States has released an official statement on radical life extension. However, here are brief summaries of how some clergy, bioethicists and other scholars from 18 major American religious groups say their traditions might approach this evolving issue. (For an in-depth look at public opinion on radical life extension and related issues, see “Living to 120 and Beyond: Americans’ Views on Aging, Medical Advances and Radical Life Extension.” And for an overview of the scientific research and emerging ethical debate, see “To Count Our Days: The Scientific and Ethical Dimensions of Radical Life Extension.”)
Radically extending life “probably wouldn’t be a problem for most” Muslims, according to Aisha Musa, a professor of religion at Colgate University who has written about the issue from a Muslim perspective. According to Musa and others, Muslims believe Allah (God) knows the exact life span of each person from birth to death, or what the Quran calls one’s “term appointed” (Sura 40:67). “Since you can’t really violate God’s plan for you, life extension is alright because it’s part of God’s will,” Musa says.
Given this outlook, many Muslims would likely see life-extending technologies as in accordance with God’s plan for humanity. “Whenever there is something new, Muslims believe that it has happened with God’s endorsement,” says Abdulaziz Sachedina, chair of Islamic studies at George Mason University and the author of “Islamic Biomedical Ethics.” � | 512 | 1 |
was illegal at the time. If the clause in fact grants a single power which ties taxes to paying debts and providing for the common defense and general welfare, then the issue changes. Rather than an issue of whether the tax is really a tax, the question becomes whether – even if it is a tax — it meets the purpose language of the text. If so read, regulatory taxes that do not raise revenue to pay government expenses would become constitutionally questionable. In other words, a reading of only the taxing language of the text – I suggest – has resulted in giving Congress regulatory powers it does not possess under a reading of the language as a single power.
Incidentally, this kind of careful attention to the text is not “strict” or “narrow” construction. It is textualism of the kind that Justice Scalia writes and practices. As he says, he is not a “strict constructionist.” He attempts to give words in the Constitution their full meaning without either narrowing or broadening their legitimate sense.
Another mischaracterization of this clause refers to it as “the General Welfare Clause.” If Congress had a power simply to legislate for the “general welfare,” there would be no need to list any other powers. Under such a construction of the Constitution, the federal government would in no way be a limited one. Few, if any, students of the Constitution, however, would openly claim Congress has such unlimited power. Nevertheless, the spending language in the clause – viewed as distinct from the taxing language –can be distorted to achieve the same unlimited power.
As discussed in United States v. Butler (1936), one of the few Supreme Court cases to address the spending language of the clause, the clause has been a matter of dispute nearly since the beginning when Madison and Hamilton disagreed over its interpretation. (The legislation addressed in Butler also involved a tax collected to fund the spending.) Madison contended that the power to tax and spend for the general welfare had to be tied to one of the other enumerated powers. Hamilton, and later Justice Joseph Story, disagreed. They said the power was a separate power, limited only by the requirement that its exercise be for “the general welfare.” Although Butler adopted the Hamilton-Story position, it declared the particular legislation unconstitutional.
If the discussion above regarding the use of “To” and “to” means that the clause does not contain two powers, it should also establish that the clause contains | was illegal at the time. If the clause in fact grants a single power which ties taxes to paying debts and providing for the common defense and general welfare, then the issue changes.

If the discussion above regarding the use of “To” and “to” means that the clause does not contain two powers, it should also establish that the clause contains | a power separate from those which follow, as Hamilton and Story contended. If then Madison was incorrect, does this clause create a power so broad that it makes the enumeration of other powers superfluous? Both Justice Story and the Butler opinion recognize that there must be some limits on spending for the general welfare, but Butler did not elaborate.
The Supreme Court has since ignored Butler’s notion that the clause contains any justiciable limits. A year after Butler, the Court upheld the parts of the Social Security Act dealing with unemployment compensation, Steward Machine Co. v. Davis (1937), and old-age benefits, Helvering v. Davis (1937). In Buckley v. Valeo (1976), the Court rejected a challenge to federal spending that financed presidential campaigns, saying “[i]t is for Congress to decide which expenditures will promote the general welfare.”
It may be that the term “general welfare” has acquired a meaning that, at least in Congress, extends well beyond the interpretation of Hamilton and Story. For Hamilton who promoted infrastructure spending on canals and bridges, the spending was not for local “pet projects” or so-called “earmarks.” Rather, such spending was to promote economic development generally; it benefitted more than a single state. Underlying the term “general welfare” seemed to be the idea that the federal government could spend on matters that generally benefitted the whole country. It was assumed not only that state governments would tax and spend on projects that benefitted their own state, but that they would not and should not tax and spend on projects to benefit other states. As with the original understanding of the Commerce Clause and other provisions in the Constitution, Congress was given the taxing and spending power for the general welfare in order to do for the states as a whole what none of them individually could do.
Congress’s idea of spending for the general welfare has often been used to “persuade” states to accept policy regulations which Congress lacks any power directly to impose. Congress achieves the regulatory end through conditioning receipt of the funds. Certain conditions attached to spending are not only reasonable, but required. Accordingly, the federal government ensures the proper use of funds by imposing accounting and reporting requirements and establishing other standards for spending the money. Congress, however, also manipulates conditions in what amounts to a form of “bait and switch;” it adds new conditions after states have become dependent on federal funding for | 512 | 1 |

Virginia is For Customer Love Thanks to Communication Nation
November 17, 2016 Patrick Antinozzi
The state of Virginia's official slogan is "Virginia is for lovers", and it would seem that Boost Mobile dealer, Communication Nation, has taken that to heart. (pun absolutely intended)
Glowing reviews of satisfied CN customers are easy to find.
Take a quick glance around Facebook, and you'll find all of their locations have a minimum average of 4 out of 5 stars.
Let's delve deeper into why customers are feeling the love in Virginia.
Sounds like Tiffany is a regular customer here, as she talks about "always having a great experience" and remembered the name of the sales rep that helped her.
And it's no wonder she keeps coming back, based on the description she provided.
Christian was there to help Tiffany solve her problem, first and foremost. He didn't simply try to sell her the most expensive device. He patiently answered all of Tiffany's questions, and helped her "figure out what (she) wanted".

Lesson learned: Strive to meet | the unique needs of your individual customers. Let them do most of the talking, and listen well. Everyone appreciates being noticed and acknowledged.
Sounds like Perla left quite an impression on Stoney, as he referred to the service he received as "the best I've had... in my whole life". (side note: what a name!)
Perla helped Stoney take advantage of every special they had to offer. She saved him money by informing him of the sale they currently had, and even "threw on some extras" that saves him more cash every month.
In order to do that, Perla had to be well-versed in what her company had to offer. Products, services, plans, sales, and specials... If she wasn't, Stoney wouldn't get the best deal available to him, and he'd likely go elsewhere to find it.
Lesson learned: Know your stuff. Be an expert. Know what you're selling inside and out. Only then will you be fully prepared to solve the unique problems of your customers.
Sometimes, it really is as simple as being friendly.
These days, we're accustomed to preparing ourselves for a fight anytime we need to deal with a business. "Nothing ever goes the way it should", we tell ourselves.
We expect the worst. We're tense when we walk into a store, on the defensive, bracing ourselves for battle.
To encounter the opposite is like a breath of fresh air when we're used to nothing but smog.
Chad got that feeling, and Communication Nation is now his "go-to store".
Of course, pricing and knowledgeable reps help as well!
Lesson learned: Smile, be enthusiastic, have fun. Positivity is infectious. Spread it like the most beautiful virus in the history of the world.
Can we have some of that love, CN?
The examples of happy customers sharing their great experiences at Communication Nation goes on and on.
Perhaps Virginia came up with their slogan after witnessing the customer love CN was dishing out...
One thing is for sure, that love doesn't need to be exclusively contained within the states borders.
You can learn from the customer service lessons CN is providing. Meet each of your customers unique needs, be an expert, and have fun while showing warmth and enthusiasm.
Then, perhaps we'll be writing about you next!

Film ephemera, the direct form of film promotion, are no longer merely a piece of commercial media; they have been established as a valuable and rare piece of art, beyond the movie screen.
We discussed the uniqueness of Japanese film ephemera in the previous blog entries; all films in Japan, including revivals and retrospectives, produce film programs that are of a quality not seen in the United States and other countries. In addition to those programs and unique settings, out of all the other artists in the world, Japanese creators produce very unique styles of cinema art. The gorgeousness of Japanese cinema art is highly praised not only by film fans and collectors, but also film directors themselves the world over.
Some of the prominent Japanese creators of film ephemera, and their hidden gems in the Makino Collection, will be brought to light with interesting stories about how these lovely artworks connected Japanese artists and filmmakers across borders, in the next blog entry. Stay tuned!

Recent Publications (1) Survival of Extremely Premature Infants Possible, Improving
Charles A. “Chuck” Donovan | May 17, 2013.
In a new video released by commentator William Saletan at Slate magazine, the author critiques videos released by the activist group Live Action regarding clinics that perform late-term abortions. In those videos, Live Action shows interactions between women whose pregnancies are in the range of 23 completed weeks of gestation. Saletan critiques the editing of the video to omit points he argues show the clinics in a more favorable light, then states, “Here’s the big thing… even if you didn’t administer an injection, that kills the fetus inside the womb, which nearly all of these clinics do, the mere expulsion of the fetus, even at 21, 22, or 23, weeks is, itself, fatal. That fetus is not prepared to survive the womb.”
What do established sources say about the survival rates of babies born at various stages of gestation? These rates are a product of many factors, including the child’s weight, whether the mother took drugs to aid lung development with foreknowledge of an extremely premature birth, the proximity of the prematurely delivered baby to a neonatal intensive care unit and the technical skill of its treatment team. The Lozier Institute will publish more on this subject in the future but here is one source, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development on the outcomes with babies born in the 22-25 week range in terms of gestation (note that these rates acknowledge that a range of disability occurs in babies born at these ages and that the disabilities decline in both incidence and severity as the gestational age at delivery increases).

Statistics Canada says economy flat in July as oil and gas sector down
Economists had expected growth of 0.1 per cent
Oct. 1, 2019 7:35 a.m.
Statistics Canada says the country’s real gross domestic product was essentially unchanged in July as weakness in oil and gas extraction offset gains in service industries.
Economists had expected growth of 0.1 per cent, according to financial markets data firm Refinitiv.
The flat reading for the month came as goods-producing industries fell 0.7 per cent for the month.
The mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector pulled back 3.5 per cent in the month, the largest decrease in the sector since May 2016.
Oil and gas extraction fell 3.0 per cent in July due in large part to a shutdown of some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore production facilities for a large part of the month as a result | 512 | 1 |

When general Pompey conquered Israel in 66 BC, Stratos Tower became a non Jewish city. Emperor Agustus gave the city to King Herod, who built an entirely new city between 22 and 10 BC, and called it Caesarea to honor the emperor. Peter baptized the Roman Centurion, Cornelius here, and Philip the Evangelist lived in Caesarea.
Paul passed through Caesarea and was imprisoned here 2 years, before being sent to Rome for trial. Jerome states he saw the Hebrew origional of the Gospel of Matthew in Caesarea. Excavations starting in the 1950's have uncovered a large Roman theater, statues, the temple of Augustus, the city wall, and the first known inscription of the name Pontus Pilate. There is also a Crusader fort near by.
Today its a tourist attraction and known as Horbat Qesari.
Caesarea appears in 15 Bible verses: Acts 8:40, Acts 9:30, Acts 10:1, Acts 10:24, Acts 11:11, Acts 12:19, Acts 18:22, Acts 21:8, Acts 21:16, Acts 23:23, Acts 23:33, Acts 25:1, Acts 25:4, Acts 25:6 and Acts 25:13.

They will travel to Hartland Tuesday and host Howell Friday. Last season, six of Brighton’s seven losses were against Hartland and Howell.
Brighton and Pinckney will get an opportunity to play on the Detroit Pistons’ home court at Little Caesars Arena on Monday.

Paul passed through Caesarea and was imprisoned here 2 years, before being sent to Rome for trial. Jerome states he saw the Hebrew origional of the Gospel of Matthew in Caesarea. Excavations starting in the 1950's have uncovered a large Roman theater, statues, the temple of Augustus, the city wall, and the first known inscription of the name Pontus Pilate. There is also a Crusader fort near by.
Today its a tourist attraction and known as Horbat Qesari.
Caesarea appears in 15 Bible verses: Acts 8:40, Acts 9:30, Acts 10:1, Acts 10:24, Acts 11:11, Acts 12:19, Acts 18:22, Acts 21:8, Acts 21:16, Acts 23:23, Acts 23:33, Acts 25:1, Acts 25:4, Acts 25:6 and Acts 25:13.

They will travel to Hartland Tuesday and host Howell Friday. Last season, six of Brighton’s seven losses were against Hartland and Howell.
Brighton and Pinckney will get an opportunity to play on the Detroit Pistons’ home court at Little Caesars Arena on Monday.
The game will follow the Pistons’ 12:30 p.m. game against the Charlotte Hornets. It will be the second game | at a major venue for Brighton’s Matt Buschman, Nolan Ehman, Will Jontz and Justin Klaus, who played football against Belleville at Michigan Stadium in the season opener.
ATHLETES TO WATCH
Sophomore centers Sophie Dziekan of Brighton and Whitney Sollom of Hartland will begin the second year of their individual rivalry when the Eagles host the Bulldogs on Tuesday.

also amazingly simple to fix if caught early by our hygienists.
Our hygienists provide gentle, thorough cleanings that remove the plaque coating that at-home brushing misses. They also provide education and instruction on how to get the maximum benefit from brushing and flossing.
Recent studies have shown an association between gum disease and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, low birth weight and diabetes. Because gum disease can have an adverse effect on your over-all health, Dr. Peck strongly suggests getting professional cleanings at least every six months.
Gum disease is oftentimes painless at the beginning, so you may not know you have it. Add to that the fact that gum disease is almost impossible for a patient to self-diagnose and it becomes obvious why you need to see us on a regular basis. At each checkup, Dr. Peck and a hygienist will take depth readings of the v-shaped crevice (called a sulcus) between your teeth and gums to diagnose if you have gum disease.
Gum disease attacks just below the gum line in the sulcus, where it damages the supporting and connective tissues. As the tissues are damaged, the sulcus develops into a pocket; generally, the deeper the pocket, the more severe the disease. Eventually, pockets can become so deep that your tooth is no longer attached to your gums or jawbone. And, that’s when they fall out. Last but not least, who doesn't love Popeye? I wish I had more time to add in Olive Oil but I just can't pass an opportunity to play across multiple nails. I like the yellow and Blue base combination. I think it really adds a vintage feel.

LANSING, MI--(Marketwired - Oct 29, 2014) - Michigan retailers expect better holiday sales this year, their forecasts a blend of optimism and caution, according to the Michigan Retail | Index, a joint project of Michigan Retailers Association (MRA) and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
While 63 percent project better holiday sales over last year, the average of all retailers' projections comes to +1.6 percent. Nearly a third (28 percent) expect their sales to increase more than 5 percent and 35 percent anticipate their sales will rise 5 percent or less.
"Taken as a whole, these individual forecasts reflect the type of year Michigan's retail industry has experienced: overall progress with a bumpy ride along the way," said MRA President and CEO James P. Hallan.
"It's no surprise to see retailers projecting better holiday sales, but showing restraint in their projections."
Nationally, retail organization economists are forecasting holiday spending to increase about 4 percent.
The Michigan Retail Index found improved sales for September. The monthly survey of MRA members showed 53 percent of retailers increased sales over the same month last year, while 35 percent recorded declines and 12 percent reported no change. The results create a seasonally adjusted performance index of 62.1, up sharply from 46.0 in August. A year ago September the Index stood at 52.8.
Looking forward, 60 percent of retailers expect sales during October-December to increase over the same period last year, while 18 percent project a decrease and 22 percent no change. That puts the seasonally adjusted outlook index at 73.6, up from 70.6 in August. A year ago September the Index stood at 76.3.

trying to provide is an explanation of the economy so that you can visualize the real solution, because it is a dynamic relationship between everything with no real constant. We are at a tremendous disadvantage because we have grown up thinking in a flat linear world that does not exist. We see the assets rise and fall as measured in money, but we do not take it to the next level. The reason this is true, is because money is itself a language in our mind. Just as Einstein was confronted by the question does he think in word, we also limit ourselves by thinking in money, against which we measure gains, losses, winners and losers, and government only thinks in how much money it can take from the people.
The unfortunate misconception about thinking in words created by the press who asked the question, has been a major set-back, I believe, in our evolution process. It may appear that we think in words, but this is not true. You are reading this right now and the words are being submitted to your mind. Individually, they do not form a conception per se. There are some words that stand alone and can spark an entire event that embraces a conception. That is separate. We may have experienced a date with a person where we fell in love. Our mind unconsciously is recording the collateral events; the music in the background, the place, the food and the wine. We are not aware that our mind is recording these events. Yet, we may then hear that music that was playing, and the mind will retrieve that moment based solely upon that sound and bring to the forefront that entire event as a distant memory.
I knew the famous painter Norman Rockwell. A banker friend of mine in Heightstown, New Jersey, had an estate where there was a pencil drawing of a young girl in a straw hat with a monogram “NR” and I believe the date 1907. The woman had died. She had always told her children she lived next to Norman Rockwell as kids and when her family moved to New Jersey, he drew this as a departing gift. The banker knew I knew Norman and asked me if I could verify this story and the drawing. I mailed a photograph of it to Norman and then called him on the phone. He kept me on the phone for at least an hour telling me all about her and how he believed she was his first love, He could recall events from his childhood that were amazing.

The word is not how we think. When we read, we take the words in our mind and translate them into meanings and this will lead to the understanding of a pure concept. Words are merely communication devices. If we can speak more than one simple language, you may still translate in your mind foreign words into the native word. However, you begin to acquire the thinking process of that foreign language and suddenly you conceptualize an understanding for a concept that exists in a foreign word for which there is no direct translation to your native language. We are truly thinking in concepts that the core is the visual and spatial reasoning. If this were not true, then language would not require teaching and would be inherent.
Therefore, if we try to visualize relationships in our mind, you will find a clear way of understanding that broadens one’s knowledge. This leads to what I call dynamic thinking that is a break with the linear relationship so common in western thinking. This allows us to see the scale with the assets against the money, but by moving into dynamic thinking processes, we begin to visualize relationships and can see that the only constant is time.
~ Time is the Only Constant ~
What Caesar saw in his mind’s eye, was that the value of assets relative to money fluctuates so much that it is all different depending on the Time. Now we must stop and realize that the value of anything can only be measured in a split second. At any time thereafter, its value will constantly fluctuate. The value we see in a local currency measuring the assets in dollars relative to a moment in time is fixed at that same moment by taking those assets and recasting them in different currencies. Each investor around the world measures profit and losses in terms of money that is his home currency. Hence, what one sees in dollars as rising in value, to another may see a decline if the dollar is declining at a greater percentage than the assets are rising as measured in dollars.
Caesar realized that at the time you purchased a house, the lender was willing to loan you $100,000. Now that real estate crashed and burned, it is worth only at best say $50,000. Your mortgage is now more than the property is worth. The bank still demands the $100,000 even though currently it could buy two homes for the same amount of money. Caesar realized there is a | 512 | 1 |
.App.2d 443, 453, 455, 62 Cal.Rptr. 144.) Since defendant prevailed in the habeas corpus proceeding he finds no fault with the trial court's determination or rulings therein. We specifically note, moreover, that in his notice of appeal defendant is clearly appealing only from the order granting probation for 10 years. We accordingly must limit the scope of this appeal to this notice and proceed to review the remaining contention made by defendant which properly falls within its aegis.
Adverting to defendant's claim that the court erred in not allowing credit for the time already served under the judgment first imposed following his conviction, we note that defendant urges that the length of the term of probation set by the court should be shortened to reflect the years that he was in prison. In support of this contention defendant relies on section 2900.1, which provides: ‘Where a defendant has served any portion of his sentence under a commitment based upon a judgment which judgment is subsequently declared invalid or which is modified during the term of imprisonment, such time shall be credited upon any subsequent sentence he may receive upon a new commitment for the same criminal act or acts.’
Defendant's reliance on section 2900.1 is misplaced. In the instant case the trial judge in the order granting probation suspended the imposition of sentence and directed, in essence, that such suspension continue for a period of 10 years. (See s 1203.1.) Accordingly, no judgment of conviction was rendered. (In re Phillips, 17 Cal.2d 55, 58, 109 P.2d 344, 132 A.L.R. 644.) Moreover, when a defendant is placed on probation he is placed under the care and supervision of a probation officer. (s 1215.) It is only when the judgment is for imprisonment in the state prison that an order of commitment is made (see ss 1215 and 1216); and a certified copy of the abstract of judgment constitutes a commitment. (In re Larsen, 44 Cal.2d 642, 646, 283 P.2d 1043; s 1213.) When such certified copy is placed in the hands of the warden of the state prison, a valid commitment is issued. (In re Larsen, supra; s 1216.)
The cases which have discussed section 2900.1 make it clear that its provisions apply only to situations involving a subsequent sentence to prison. (See In re Levi, 39 Cal.2d 41, 47, | .App.2d 443, 453, 455, 62 Cal.Rptr. 144.)

Havel, 134 Cal.App.2d 213, 218, 285 P.2d 317; In re Roberts, 40 Cal.2d 745, 748—749, 255 P.2d 782; In re James, 38 Cal.2d 302, 314, 240 P.2d 596; People v.

We do note, however, that although section 2900.1 is not directly applicable, section 1203.1 is particularly significant. That section provides that in the order granting probation the judge ‘may suspend the imposing, or the execution of the sentence and may direct that such suspension may continue for such period of time not exceeding the maximum possible term of such sentence, * * *.’ At the time defendant committed the offense involved in the present case, and at the time of his conviction therefor, the penalty for the sale of narcotics for a defendant who had not previously been convicted of a narcotic offense was imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or in the state prison from five years to life. (Former Health & Saf.Code, s 11713.) Since defendant's prior narcotic conviction was set aside and his remaining prior convictions were for grand theft, this penalty provision applied to defendant. Accordingly, when defendant was originally sentenced on June 17, 1959, the maximum possible term for which he could have been sentenced was imprisonment in the state prison from five years to life. Such an indeterminate sentence is in legal effect a sentence for a maximum term, i.e., for life. (In re Lee, 177 Cal. 690, 693, 171 P. 958; In re Mills, 55 Cal.2d 646, 653—654, 12 Cal.Rptr. 483, 361 P.2d 15; In re Schoengarth, 66 Cal.2d 295, 302, 57 Cal.Rptr. 600, 425 P.2d 200.)
Since the court had the power to suspend the imposition of the sentence for the maximum term of the life sentence, it was empowered under section 1203.1 to place defendant on probation for life. Accordingly, although defendant had served in excess of | 512 | 1 |
625 likely voters, had Bachmann at 46 percent, Tinklenberg at 45 percent, and Anderson at 6 percent, with 3 percent still undecided.
The election results a few days later: Bachmann at 46 percent, Tinklenberg at 43 percent, and Anderson at 10 percent.
Given the closeness with which the late October 2008 SurveyUSA poll tracked that November’s vote, there are some interesting differences between that sample and the new July 2010 survey. …
In the October 2008 survey, 74 percent identified with one of the two major political parties: 41 percent Republican and 33 percent Democrat. In the July 2010 survey, just 64 percent identified with the major parties: 36 percent Republican and 28 percent Democrat.
The percentage of self-identified independents was just 23 percent in the October ‘08 survey and 31 percent in July ‘10.
The decline in identification with both major parties — and the accompanying rise in identification as a political independent — should come as no surprise for those tracking the dissatisfaction among Americans with both Congressional Democrats and Republicans in the extremely partisan 111th Congress.
The big difference in 2010, however, is that Bachmann is receiving the support of 46 percent of independents, compared to just 35 percent in the late October 2008 survey. …
It should be noted there were several demographic variables which demonstrated identical or virtually identical sampling in the two surveys. For example:
Guns: 57 percent of each poll’s voters were gun owners
Religion: 51 percent were regular attendees of church services in both surveys
Ideology: In the 2008 poll, 39 percent identified as conservatives, with 44 percent moderate, and 14 percent liberal. In the new survey, 40 percent identified as conservative, 43 percent as moderate, and 13 percent as liberal. …

Bachmann Maintains 9-point Lead Over Clark in 6th District

Incumbent Republican Michele Bachmann continues to lead Democrat Tarryl Clark in the 6th District Congressional race. Both Bachmann and Clark gained one point since our last KSTP/SurveyUSA poll in July. However, that means Bachmann maintains a 9-point lead over Clark.
Independence Party candidate Bob Anderson gained the same 6 percent support he had in July.

The decline in identification with both major parties — and the accompanying rise in identification as a political independent — should come as no surprise for those tracking the dissatisfaction among Americans with both Congressional Democrats and Republicans in the extremely partisan 111th Congress.
The big difference in 2010, however, is that Bachmann is receiving the support of 46 percent of independents, compared to just 35 percent in the late October 2008 survey. …
It should be noted there were several demographic variables which demonstrated identical or virtually identical sampling in the two surveys. For example:
Guns: 57 percent of each poll’s voters were gun owners
Religion: 51 percent were regular attendees of church services in both surveys
Ideology: In the 2008 poll, 39 percent identified as conservatives, with 44 percent moderate, and 14 percent liberal. In the new survey, 40 percent identified as conservative, 43 percent as moderate, and 13 percent as liberal. …
9/17/2010 Update
Bachmann Maintains 9-point Lead Over Clark in 6th District
By Tom Hauser
Incumbent Republican Michele Bachmann continues to lead Democrat Tarryl Clark in the 6th District Congressional race. Both Bachmann and Clark gained one point since our last KSTP/SurveyUSA poll in July. However, that means Bachmann maintains a 9-point lead over Clark.
Independence Party candidate Bob Anderson gained the same 6 percent support he had in July.
[Note: The poll number for unaffiliated independent candidate Aubrey Immelman, not reported in the KSTP report, is 1% — statistically unchanged from 2% in July and consistent with the | fact that Immelman has not done any campaigning beyond maintaining this blog. Just 4% of voters remain undecided.]
The table below reports data from the three available surveys of the U.S. House race conducted thus far during the 2010 election cycle in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District.
KSTP/SurveyUSA (Sept. 13-15) 49 40 6 1 4
Comparison of the July and September 2010 poll results shows that Independence Party nominee Bob Anderson’s numbers have remained static at 6 percent, while both Republican nominee Michele Bachmann and DFL nominee Tarryl Clark have gained one point, which is statistically meaningless.
The internals of the poll show the Anderson is attracting 4 percent of the Republican vote, 4 percent of the Democratic vote, and 11 percent of the Independent vote, while Immelman gets 1 percent of the Republican vote, 0 (zero) percent of the Democratic vote, and 2 percent of the Independent vote (however, considering the poll’s margin of sampling error of ± 4.1%, Immelman’s numbers are essentially statistical noise).
In short, there is no compelling evidence that Anderson (6%) or Immelman (1%) is attracting significant support from respondents who might otherwise vote for Clark (40%), who polled at 37 percent in the December 2009 Public Policy poll, which did not include Anderson or Immelman as an option.
In contrast, Bachmann (49%) has lost ground since Anderson and Immelman joined the race, having polled 55 percent in the December 2009 Public Policy Polling survey.
In summary, with less than seven weeks to go before Election Day, the September KSTP/SurveyUSA poll results are unchanged from the results eight weeks earlier in July.
The table below is provided for the purpose of comparing the candidates’ current poll standings with the state of the 6th District race in the 2008 election cycle.

Exchange of dialogue and song
Establishing a relationship of trust between the women, the musicians and the crew was vital to the process. Ann says it started to happen in the powhiri when the women welcomed the visitors. The exchange of dialogue and song was settling for both groups.
So what were the greatest challenges? For the prisoners, Ann says, the biggest thing was coming to terms with the personal demands that the series made in opening them up to talk about their lives in front of cameras, week after week.
“The tutors and crew were exceptional in their response to the challenges and it was a revelation to the women that they weren’t being judged. As a result, they were able to relax more as the weeks went by.”
“A man who dares to dream”
This was due in part, she says, to the vision of Director Julian Arahanga whom Ann describes as “a man who dares to dream”. His philosophy, she says, “is that everyone deserves to be considered; that everyone has the potential to change, to be heard and to be supported”.
Julian was extremely well-supported by the producer, Maramena Roderick, and the rest of the crew, she adds.
The music programme was designed by musician and teacher Evan Rhys Davies, who taught songwriting over 18 weeks in Spring Hill Corrections Facility in 2009 and recorded an album of the men’s songs, called If These Walls Could Speak.
Evan also became involved in Songs From the inside as a mentor for the musicians.
Songs that were developed in the classes were taken back to the wings, where the women continued to sing and share what they had learned with the other prisoners.
“I don’t think the women had any idea of the impact the series would have on communities when it was screened,” Ann says. “Many viewers watching the programme discovered that the women here are real people. The series began to demystify Arohata and help people to understand the Department’s goals to support women to be rehabilitated and to reintegrate back into the community.
"For these women, the programme has been absolutely amazing. They’ve learned how good it is to achieve and feel as ‘normal� | the Department’s security requirements for the 12 weeks – or 100 hours – they would be on the site.”

They were extremely appreciative of everyone who helped them see a light at the end of the tunnel. After the programme, they had goals, a structure and an outcome that they could take out to their families and communities.
“Personally, I really enjoyed seeing the women achieve new skills and grow in confidence. I also learned a lot about our prison and the community, and the impact that the positive community response has had on the women.
“The women who are now released tell me that people approach them in the street, and say, ‘Oh, you’re that girl we saw on TV. Good on you’. They’ve been rapt with the response.” Why Is Neurosurgery Important?

Every medical specialty plays a role in overall human health, but some have a more dramatic impact than others. For example, neurological surgeons treat conditions of the brain and nervous system that can have subtle and far-reaching effects. These might include problems of behavior and perception in some patients, and mobility issues or debilitating pain in others. Correcting these conditions surgically often has an immediate and dramatic impact on the patient's quality of life.
A neurosurgeon's areas of responsibility include the brain and its blood vessels, the spine and central nervous system, and the peripheral nervous system that transmits sensation from extremities to the brain. It includes the treatment of strokes and brain tumors, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease, chronic back pain and even carpal tunnel syndrome. Neurological conditions can cause patients to lose their eyesight, hearing or balance, or impair their dexterity and use of their limbs. Aside from treating such fundamental conditions, neurological surgery is also an important discipline because of its position on the leading edge of modern surgery.
Neurological surgery is a specialty with a strong scientific and research component. As researchers learn more about the brain's function through magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans and other advances, neurosurgeons respond by developing new techniques to treat its disorders. Since the late 20th century minimally invasive surgeries using miniature instruments have become commonplace, and neurosurgeons use radical approaches such as skull-base surgeries to reach and remove previously in | 512 | 1 |

Teenage blogger trial part of Singapore’s efforts to erase criticism, UN rights expert warns
GENEVA (15 August 2016) – The upcoming trial in Singapore of teenage blogger over posts he made on his Facebook page and comments in his blog is deeply worrying and a sign of the increased criminalization of expression in the country, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, David Kaye, has warned.
“First, the trial concerns an expression that is lawful under international human rights law, and second, the person being tried is considered a child under international human rights law,” Mr. Kaye said.
A 17-year old blogger faces charges that his Facebook posts and blogposts wounded the religious feelings of Muslims and Christians. The trial, at which he will defend himself, is scheduled for 17 August. If convicted, he may face up to three years in jail. Last year, the blogger was sentenced to four weeks in prison for posting a video that caricatured Singapore’s first Prime Minister | ., of Hermosillo, Sonora.

Teenage blogger trial part of Singapore’s efforts to erase criticism, UN rights expert warns
GENEVA (15 August 2016) – The upcoming trial in Singapore of teenage blogger over posts he made on his Facebook page and comments in his blog is deeply worrying and a sign of the increased criminalization of expression in the country, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, David Kaye, has warned.
“First, the trial concerns an expression that is lawful under international human rights law, and second, the person being tried is considered a child under international human rights law,” Mr. Kaye said.
A 17-year old blogger faces charges that his Facebook posts and blogposts wounded the religious feelings of Muslims and Christians. The trial, at which he will defend himself, is scheduled for 17 August. If convicted, he may face up to three years in jail. Last year, the blogger was sentenced to four weeks in prison for posting a video that caricatured Singapore’s first Prime Minister | , Lee Kuan Yew.
“Tolerance and the rights of others are legitimate aims for any state to pursue. However, the criminalization of a broad range of legitimate, even if offensive, expression is not the right tool for this purpose, and may well have the opposite effect,” the UN expert stressed. “International human rights law allows only serious and extreme instances of incitement to hatred to be prohibited as criminal offences, not other forms of expression, even if they are offensive, disturbing or shocking.”
The trial of the teenage blogger is one of several cases in Singapore that reflect a widening crackdown not only on controversial expression but also political criticism and dissent, Mr. Kaye noted.
In May this year, Teo Soh Lung, a human rights lawyer, and Roy Ngerng, a blogger, were investigated for allegedly breaching the Parliamentary Elections Act for posts on their private Facebook pages that discussed government transparency and accountability. The Act prohibits election campaigning in the last 24 hours prior to elections, yet explicitly exempts the online expression of a private individual’s political views. This was the first time individuals were investigated under such provisions.
Despite the use of the Parliamentary Elections Act to investigate, search and confiscate personal belongings of Teo Soh Lung and Roy Ngerng, to date no charges have been brought against them.
“Threats of criminal action and lawsuits contribute to a culture of self-censorship, and hinder the development of an open and pluralistic environment where all forms of ideas and opinions should be debated and rebutted openly,” the UN expert highlighted.
“States are under an obligation not only to respect and protect, but also to promote freedom of expression,” he emphasized. “Increased criminalization of expression is in breach of this obligation.”
Mr. David Kaye (USA) was appointed as Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression in August 2014 by the United Nations Human Rights Council. As Special Rapporteur, Mr. Kaye is part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council’s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world.

San Francisco.
I took the Amtrak Surfliner from San Diego to Los Angeles and the Amtrak Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Emeryville. (Though I should have gotten off at Jack London Square — it’s easier.) There’s a special car with space for bikes on the Surfliner. On the Coast Starlight, I handed my bike to a guy in the baggage car in Los Angeles and he handed it back to me in Emeryville. Boxing your bike is no longer required. (This was a brand new policy then and half the Amtrak employees I talked to were still unaware of it.) From Emeryville, I took an Uber to San Francisco.
What would you have done differently?
Start earlier. While riding in the shoulder season was nice because there was less traffic and smaller crowds, I didn’t enjoy the short days and long nights toward the end of the trip. I’d start earlier (if riding in the fall) or ride in May and June. Riding in spring would also have the advantage of avoiding trimmigrant season in northern California.
Ride shorter days. I’d also split two long segments from BCP book into two days: Harris Beach State Park (the border) to Elk Prairie Campground (and stay at the Warm Showers church in Crescent City) and Manchester State Beach to Bodega Dunes State Beach (and stay at Salt Point State Park).
Start in Vancouver (and explore the nearby islands).
Spend a full day in Astoria, Oregon. Or get a hotel in Astoria one night and stay at Neil’s famous Warm Shower in nearby Seaside the next night.
End somewhere between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Or take the train from Ventura to Capistrano Beach to bypass the worst of the traffic in Malibu and Orange County. Though the majority of the ride through Los Angeles county is on paths along the beach.
My rough plan is to ride from San Francisco to Colorado and maybe to Kansas City starting in late April or early May 2017. I’d also like to do a non-U.S. trip — possibly Baja Mexico or Central America. Home/ireland/5 reasons for buying the Samsung QLED 8K new TV

You are a Pocket-lint reader, so you know that 4K refers to the lovely resolution | picture on most of the latest TV. You know that the next step change is 8K, and it's already here. With the Samsung TV QLED 8K amazing, here is. The wait is over.
So, should you buy one, and if so, why?
1. The most detailed and realistic picture ever
You have never seen anything like it. Where and HD took us all surprising when we reached 4K and achieved even more persuasive and attractive results, 8K goes far further. This decision is four times 4K because it has twice the number of pixels vertically and vertically. This means that it is 16 times the decision of Full HD. When so many pixels, over 33 million, since you ask, it means that you can sit closer to the TV without seeing the dot dots that make up the image. That does an experience that is completely instinctive, taking more visually and visually impaired.
2. Upscaling means you can see the benefits now
But no programs are made in 8K, you might say. True, and that would be a problem but for the fact that this television can contain quite unprecedented content. It can take 4K content, or even HD programming, upscale to 8K. That is because it uses the learning of machines and artificial information to analyze images, improve the details and raise the edges up to 8K. And it can do this while reducing any image noise. Colors look bad and rich, while still realistic and loyal. This is a game changer.
3. It has an intelligent TV
Not just smart TV, this is intelligent, thanks to the Samsung Quantum Processor 8K super-powerful built in. It responds to the brightness of light in the room and responds automatically, so it is never too big or overcrowded. The processor is able to run a Samsung voice assistant, so you can talk to your TV by pressing the microphone button on the remote control-premium control. Ask him to choose a channel, recommend something you like to like or launch an app like YouTube.
4. The Samsung QLED 8K TV can combine your home continuously
That's because he has something of the name Ambient Mode, as long as you have an Android or IOS compatible device and your wall texture is not unusual using glossy to fit around. This does by measuring the light in the room and modifying the brightness of the TV accordingly, it can even subtle effects when you do not watch programs.

and nine of 10. The team won a total of 14 games under John Fox from 2015-17. The Bears wildly exceeded expectations, and for that, Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace need to be commended. They just couldn't keep it going in the playoffs as Cody Parkey once again hit an upright to keep the Bears from advancing.
Season in review: Nagy’s first order of business was to fix the offense. The Bears had been dreadful offensively in the Fox era, but Nagy brought the Andy Reid system with him from Kansas City, and the results in year one were encouraging. The Bears went out in the offseason and assembled a better supporting cast (Allen Robinson, Trey Burton, Taylor Gabriel and Anthony Miller) for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who had a mediocre rookie year in 2017. But under Nagy, Trubisky improved and finished the regular season with 3,223 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a passer rating of 95.4. Chicago’s real strength, however, was its defense. The acquisition of linebacker Khalil Mack from the Oakland Raiders turned an already good Bears defense into a great defense. The Bears led the NFL in virtually every statistical category. They took firm control of the NFC North in the middle of November and never looked back. Chicago had five players voted to the Pro Bowl (Eddie Jackson, Akiem Hicks, Tarik Cohen, Kyle Fuller and Mack) and became the first Bears team to go from worst to first since 2005.
Future of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio: Fangio is expected to interview for head coach openings in Denver and Miami, and perhaps others, as early as Monday. Fangio is the architect of the Bears’ 3-4 defense, and losing him would be tough. The Bears could opt to replace Fangio with respected secondary coach Ed Donatell, but Chicago’s best-case scenario is for Fangio to return for a fifth season.
Backfield in motion: Running back Jordan Howard finished the regular season on a high note, but questions remain as to whether Howard is a long-term fit in Nagy’s offense. At some point, Howard is going to want a new contract. Are the Bears prepared to pay him? Chicago could look to trade Howard and recoup a draft pick. The Bears probably need to make a decision on Howard in the offseason. Howard is entering the final year of his original rookie deal.

Chicago’s kicking game has to improve in 2019. Interestingly, the Bears’ all-time leading scorer, Robbie Gould, will be a free agent. There’s no guarantee Gould re-signs with San Francisco, even though he had two terrific years for the 49ers: Gould made 72 of 75 field goal attempts from 2017-18.

He said the Government had taken a strong stance on this matter on the past.
“We have taken a strong position on the human rights aspect of that decision. We recognise that dialogue between the Dominican Republic and Haiti had taken place and that there was a process in place for what they referred to as the regularisation of those citizens.
He said: “It now it appears that the situation has not gone according to the plan. So what we are doing is assessing the current situation.
