How a Phone App and Database Served up Imran Khan's Pakistan Poll Win
The phone app proved especially useful in getting supporters to the polls when the government's own telephone information service giving out polling place locations suffered major problems on election day, leaving other parties scrambling.

Islamabad: A phone app and a database of more than 50 million voters were key weapons in the successful campaign of cricket legend Imran Khan in last month's general election, though rivals allege Khan also received clandestine aid from Pakistan's powerful military.
How Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party used the database and the associated app represents a sea change in the antiquated way in which Pakistan's biggest parties conduct elections, from pre-poll targeting of voters to on-the-day mobilisation of supporters.
PTI was secretive about the technology plan ahead of the July 25 poll, fearing rivals could copy it, but several party workers showed Reuters how the app transformed their campaign and gave them an edge.
The phone app proved especially useful in getting supporters to the polls when the government's own telephone information service giving out polling place locations suffered major problems on election day, leaving other parties scrambling.
It partly explains why Khan's party managed to win tight-margin races in the nuclear-armed nation of 208 million people, though Khan's rivals allege he also benefited from the powerful military's support - an allegation he staunchly denies.
"It's had a great impact," said Amir Mughal, tasked with using the app and database, known as the Constituency Management System (CMS), to elect Asad Umar, a lawmaker who won his seat in Islamabad and will be Khan's new finance minister.
The small CMS unit led by Mughal, Umar's personal secretary, was typical of how Khan's party set up teams in constituencies across Pakistan to mine the database, identifying voters by household, zeroing-in on "confirmed" PTI voters, tagging them on the app, and ensuring they turned out on election day.
"Work that would take days of weeks is being completed in one to two hours," Mughal told Reuters in Umar's office minutes after the polls shut.
Khan's PTI surpassed expectations to scoop about 115 seats out of 272 elected members of parliament, while the party of ousted and jailed premier Nawaz Sharif trailed in second with 64 seats.
Developed by a small tech team, the CMS was a key response to Khan's bitter complaints after the 2013 poll loss that his party failed to translate mass popularity into votes because it did not know the "art of winning elections".
Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) ran a more erratic campaign, hurt by divisions within the party and the loss of key leaders who were either disqualified or in case of Sharif and his daughter, jailed.
Weeks before the elections, Khan sent out a video via WhatsApp urging PTI candidates to embrace CMS.
"I have seen and experienced how it works and I'm using it in all five constituencies I am contesting," Khan said in the video message, seen by Reuters. "The faster you apply this system, the easier your life will become," Khan added.
Created by former U.S.-based real estate businessman Tariq Din and Shahzad Gul, a tech consultant, the early version of the system was not immediately embraced by PTI.
But Umar, the incoming finance minister, and wealthy politician Jahangir Tareen Khan, a close Khan ally, were among the first to see its potential. After the software helped deliver strong results in the 2015 local elections, the party was won over, according to senior PTI officials who work on the CMS software.
For the national election PTI focused on 150 constituencies it felt it had the best chance of winning. Party workers said they used scanning software to digitise publicly-available electoral voter lists to create the database.
By typing in a voter's identity card number into the app, PTI workers could see details such as family home address, who else lived in the same household, and where they needed to vote.
It became so crucial to the PTI campaign that when on election day the programme went down for an hour, it triggered some panic in the party's ranks.
A senior CMS official showed Reuters WhatsApp messages that flooded in when the system ground to a halt under the weight of database searches, which totalled 20 million on election day.
"What the hell is going on?," inquired one of Khan's closest allies. This politician then called the CMS team and made his feelings clear, saying: "If the system doesn't work, we will lose the elections and you guys will be the villains."
When CMS came back up, Khan's ally messaged again: "Thank God".
CMS architects say the system's power was only partly utilised as there was not enough time to train workers across the country and some politicians resisted using it.
In the run up to election day, PTI workers were also able to print out "parchis", or slips, that voters needed to enter the polling station. PML-N workers had to help voters fill the paper slips with a pen.
In a large nation where illiteracy hovers above 40 percent, that meant PML-N workers had to write out millions of slips for the 12.9 million voters who backed Sharif's party, stopping those workers from canvassing or doing other vital work.
"It's a paradigm shift," said another senior CMS operator. "We changed the party, turning social media popularity into reality."

11 Bible Verses about Risking
Most Relevant Verses
Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
(For my father fought for you and cast his life far from him to deliver you out of the hand of Midian;
Seeing, therefore, that ye did not defend me, I put my life in my hands and went over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have ye come up against me this day to fight with me?
And the woman came unto Saul and saw that he was sore troubled and said unto him, Behold, thy handmaid has heard thy voice, and I have put my soul in my hand and have hearkened unto thy words which thou didst speak unto me.
for he put his soul in his hand and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel. Thou didst see it and rejoice. Why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood to slay David without a cause?
Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this; is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? And he would not drink it. These three mighty men did this.
We got our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(who have for my life laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the congregations of the Gentiles);
because for the work of the Christ he was near unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Know the Symptoms of Gingivitis
Posted: May 14, 2015
There are many ways that you can treat gingivitis and reverse the condition before you need to face dental surgeries and procedures that are just as costly as they are painful. While it is relatively easy to treat and reverse gingivitis, many people do not know the symptoms of gingivitis.
In addition, people rarely visit their dentists for check-ups as often as they should. Therefore, many people do not realize there is a problem until they are suffering pain and the condition can no longer be ignored. Call our office for an exam!

Assistive technology and sports is an area of technology design that is growing. Assistive technology is the array of new devices created to enable sports enthusiasts who have disabilities to play. Assistive technology may be used in disabled sports, where an existing sport is modified to enable players with a disability to participate; or, assistive technology may be used to invent completely new sports with athletes with disabilities exclusively in mind.
An increasing number of people with disabilities are participating in sports, leading to the development of new assistive technology. Assistive technology devices can be simple, "low-tech", or they may use highly advanced technology, with some even using computers. Assistive technology for sports may also be simple or advanced. Accordingly, assistive technology can be found in sports ranging from local community recreation to elite Paralympic games. More complex assistive technology devices have been developed over time, and as a result, sports for people with disabilities "have changed from being a clinical therapeutic tool to an increasingly competition-oriented activity".
Assistive devices can enable exercise and training, on top of enabling participation in a sport. Below are some of the assistive devices currently available for different impairments:
Sports that use assistive technology may include the following:
Many of the sports listed above have attained international elite sport status, being included in the Paralympic Games.
Some sports have developed with the goal of creating a challenge that players with a disability could enjoy. These sports require assistive technology for all players as part of the game. Some examples are: Sledge (sled) hockey; wheelchair basketball; adaptive sailing, with boats designed especially for sailors with disabilities; Nordic (cross-country) skiing with "sit-ski" buckets; and handcycling races.
Sport wheelchairs are designed for the requirements of specific sports. Power chairs can also be fitted with assistive devices that are temporary adaptations to the demands of a sport, such as a kick plate attached to a power chair for powerchair football (power soccer).
Light-weight frames are a necessity for wheelchairs used in sports requiring sharp, fast turns and overall agility, such as tennis, basketball, and racing.
Chairs with reinforced frames and impact protection are required for contact sports, such as wheelchair rugby or basketball.
Racing chairs are designed with bucket seats, angled wheels for improved stability, and a t-frame with a third wheel in front, allowing precision steering as well as improving balance. The athlete and wheelchair are viewed together by some sport researchers as a unified performance system. Improvements can be made to chairs by evaluating the chair and athlete separately or in performance conditions together.
Prosthetic devices come in a variety of designs suited to different athletic purposes. Prosthetic legs may be designed for rock climbing, running, or jumping. The technology is designed to attain goals such as greater gait efficiency when running. The technology is constantly improving, to meet the demands of athletes who set ever-higher sports challenges for themselves. South African athlete Oscar Pistorius, using energy-storing prosthetic legs, fought for the right to run against able-bodied athletes in the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and won the right to compete, although he did not meet the qualifying time required for the traditional able-bodied competitions.
Functional classification systems are used to evaluate and categorize athletes in elite sports, the classification determines the type and extent of assistive technology use by the athlete.
Organizations and associations at the national and international level support the development of adaptive sport and recreation, often through the use of assistive technology for players. These organizations are "growing in number and scope".

Next, research individual affiliate programs to compare their structure. You want to consider factors such as how much the commission is and how often the affiliate pays. Also, make sure you understand what rules, if any, a company imposes for being a part of its affiliate program. Additionally, you're likely to make more money with affiliate marketing content that is similar to your own.

E-books represent about 20 percent of all book sales in the U.S. The good news is you don't have to be a publisher with deep pockets to get in on the action. As a solo internet entrepreneur, you can sell ebooks directly from your own website. You can sell your own works or sell a public domain work. Simply upload it to your website (or seller account on Amazon) and start publicizing it on your social media platforms, on your email list, your blog, website, etc.
If you're a teen with stuff to sell, consider looking around on Facebook for some local yard sale groups. You can join and then post your used video games, electronics, or anything else you might want to get rid of. This is a good option because there really isn't an age limit. However, definitely use caution and don't meet anyone in an isolated place alone. If you are not yet driving, have a parent or guardian drive you to meet the person you are selling to.
Equally, you can charge businesses to 'claim' their listing, a method used by many large directory sites like Google Business and Yelp. This involves companies paying to upgrade their listing and adding information such as their web address, social media links, images, and more. Other revenue streams include charging for ad space, adding affiliate links and even charging for services and products on your directory site.
Many people fancy themselves as designers. If you have a unique idea for a new product then it may be time to get it designed. This can be a long process involving prototypes, discussions with factories, package design, and much more. However, the profits once the product is on the market could be substantial. And remember, with Amazon FBA, your products can all be stored and shipped by Amazon, giving you time to think up your next invention. Learn more about Amazon FBA with my How To Start An Amazon FBA Business Guide.
There are numerous printing companies that will print your designs onto not just T-shirts, but also hoodies, hats, posters, cushions, bags, and phone cases, to name a few items. These businesses also offer fulfillment services. This means that you promote the merchandise on your own site and once you sell a product the printing company will not only print your design but also send the item directly to the buyer. So all you have to do is concentrate on the marketing and selling of your products, and the fulfillment company will take care of the rest.
If you have a background in a specific field, you may find there is a demand for writing industry papers in your area of expertise. For example, there are often adverts for doctors, lawyers, nutritionists, and business experts from particular niches, to write white papers on different subject areas. These are well paid jobs that you will need to stake your reputation on, but that can often be worked on from the comfort of your own home.

No matter what method you end up using to generate an income on the web, you need to adjust your mindset to help empower you rather than discourage you. The truth? Making money online can be fraught with avoidable pitfalls. There's no shortage to the rah-rah cheers of internet marketers looking to find ways to ensure they part you from your hard-earned cash. The trick? Cancel the noise and get to the real meat and potatoes, so to speak.
How to make more money from home - These all above mention money making tips are solely based on you. Thankfully, there are a few companies too that hire you and provides you to work from your home.

The stuff you can't sell online, you could sell from your garage on the weekends. Many neighborhoods plan annual or bi-annual yard sales. If you have items to sell, this is a great time to do it as the neighborhood as a whole can bring in a lot of traffic and help you perform better than you would on your own. If that's not possible, consider partnering up with a couple of families in a popular neighborhood.
Please help. I turn 15 in a few weeks and live in WA and the whole state has labor laws where I have to be 16 but I really want to get a dirt bike this summer.

Jason – so happy to hear the tutorial is helping! Affiliate marketing was a huge break for me and I'm sure it can be for your son too. Whatever products/services he ends up selling, just make sure he is excited about the industry he is – it takes a long of time creating content and it will keep him motivated especially when he gets his first sales.
All you have to do is download apps, use them for a minute, and then you accumulate points which can be redeemed for cash. I'm currently using this app and it's the easiest cash I've ever made; I just sit, watch tv, mindlessly download apps, and watch the points accumulate! I've already been paid a few times and also received a couple iTunes gift cards. To date, i have earned over $8,000 by using this app. 🙂
Google Adwords can be used to drive targeted traffic to a sales page. You simply make an ad in your adwords account then use your affiliate link in the target page URL of the ad. Obviously, you will have to continuously measure the conversions and see if the campaign cost is less than the campaign profit in order to keep the campaign running but I am sure you get the idea.
Some churches don't have volunteers for their music. A talented pianist, guitar player, etc. can make pretty good money doing this on the weekends. Most churches offer tryouts on occasion. This idea is pretty easy to get started in that you just need to reach out to your worship pastor or someone in that ministry and let them know you have the talent and some experience. Don't be shy!
Ask for openings at recreational facilities. Places like movie theaters, amusement parks, swimming pools, and YMCAs pull a lot of their employment pool from the teen age group, so consider doing something in this field if there's one available locally.[22] You'll need to undergo some training and swimming qualifications if you're trying to be a lifeguard, but many of the other opportunities don't require any kind of prior experience.
Earn money online by sharing links - There are free tools on the internet where you can create short links. They are free and yet you get paid for it when visitors visit your links by clicking on it. Just create an account, shrink any link you want to post it anywhere you want. For every visit by anyone, you earn money online. It is one of the simplest methods to make online money.
If you already have a website or blog, look for vendors that offer related but noncompeting products and see if they have an affiliate program. Stick to familiar products and brands—they're easier to sell. For promotion, place simple text or graphics-based ads in appropriate places on your site; you can review or recommend products or create a dedicated sales page or website to promote a particular product.
There are several websites offering money to undergo online surveys, carry out online searches, and write reviews on products. To get the credit, one needs to disclose certain information to them including one's banking details. This is why you should use this route with utmost care. Some of them may even ask you to register with them before working on projects. The most important watch out in such projects is to stay away from websites offering money that appears too good to be true. Be careful while evaluating the reputation of the website as many of them could be a scam. Most sites promote businesses showing copies of cheque payments which may have been given to the middlemen only.
Theme – you don't need a special theme for affiliate marketing, you probably just need a blog. I recommend StudioPress themes since that's what Yoast, Matt Cutts (from Google), and I use. Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress also recommends them. One of the biggest mistakes I made was using a theme from Themeforest… since they're built by independent developers who may stop making updates to their theme. This happened to me and I hear horror stories all the time about people having to switch themes and redesign their entire site. I've been using the same StudioPress theme (Outreach Pro) for 3 years. Their themes are lightweight (load fast), SEO-friendly via optimized code, secure, and they have a huge selection of plugins for the Genesis Framework and an awesome community in the Genesis WordPress Facebook Group. They include documentation for setting it up and will serve you for many, many years.
Being an educator at an inner city school and teaching a career preparation course allows me the opportunity to educate students on the different options of making money. This school year I really wanted to focus on showing my students the places to make money online and starting businesses online. Below are the following ways I have so far that teens (13 and up) can legitimately make extra money online. Pretty much all of the payment methods will require that you have a PayPal account.

It has been 38 years since Steeleye Span released her album "Now We Are Six". Now the band has re-recorded the 1974 work live.
38 Jahre ist es her, dass Steeleye Span ihr Album "Now We Are Six" veröffentlichten. Nun hat die Band das 1974er Werk live neu eingespielt.
The British sextet Moon'shee plays on the fine line between traditional Britfolk and playful Indian world music. Four girls and two guys are riding a whole new hippie wave here. The often polyphonic singing sounds a bit more like the Dixie Chicks than the Corrs, always beautifully homemade.
Das britische Sextett Moon'shee musiziert auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen traditionellem Britfolk und verspielter indischer Worldmusic. Vier Mädels und zwei Kerlchen reiten hier auf einer ganz neuen Hippiewelle.
BLANK REALM - Grassed Inn
It's no surprise that Blank Realm come from Australia: Their sound is indeed strongly oriented to the Indie national hero The Saints, who inspired people Down Under in the 70s and 80s.

Holistic, Digital & Emotional Dentistry
Creating Differentials with Technology
Facially Driven Smile Design & Interdisciplinary Digital Workflow
Marketing & Managing Insights for Modern Clinics
The dental industry is changing like never before: corporate entities are making it harder for small practices to compete. Technology is leading to drastic changes in the industry and in the way dental practices operate. With the shifting landscape of dentistry, it can be overwhelming for a single practitioner - a doctor - to keep up.
All of this may seem daunting, but you can't just stick your head in the sand: you need to change the way your practice operates in order to survive and grow. Those who do not will lose their entrepreneurial freedom and may soon be working for corporations. That may be OK for some, but for those who want to keep their independence and have a thriving private practice with all the business benefits and resources a corporate technology system can offer, DSD is for you.
It is not easy for a single practitioner to implement all of these new strategies on digital workflow, clinical skills, marketing and management, so it is a big challenge and that is why this partnership (You & DSD) is so powerful.

Facial analysis, Global diagnosis, esthetic paramenters and the 10 steps of smile design
Facial Driven 3D Smile Design and Ortho Planning.
The new Clincheck Pro incorporating facial principles of DSD.
Motivational Mock-up for Ortho Case
Patient Smile Design Communication
Educating and Motivating Patients with Visual Emotional Treatment Presentations.
"Even though I'm not an orthodontist, improving the digital smile design process made me a huge fan of this amazing specialty and understand better the importance of integrating it into our interdisciplinary cases. Improving facial analysis and facially driven smile design projects, increases the awareness of how we can benefit from tooth movement, creating more conservative, functional and esthetic outcomes.
As a Smile Designer/Technician, I had 3 issues related to orthodontic treatments: first, understand which cases could benefit from tooth movement and how they would benefit; second, convince the restorative dentist about this benefit; third, help the dentist educate and motivate the patient about this beautiful option. DSD helps in all 3 matters, creating a visual understanding about the interdisciplinary relationship, improving team communication and developing an emotional link between the patient and the comprehensive solution.
You don't need to be a biomechanics expert to understand that aligners are the future when it comes to moving teeth. The main reasons why I believe in that is because the future of predictable and high quality treatments will also bring digital planning and virtual treatment simulations to the table. Testing virtually the options before touching the patients mouth. When approving a virtual treatment, the only way we can translate the ortho part of it into reality in a consistent way is through aligners. Thats the main reason why I love to see how professionals from all over the world are embracing aligner technology and creating solutions for all different types of situations."

I started discovering that there were massage therapy areas all over and also I was completely interested. At the appropriate possibility, I quit right into one and also obtained a massage therapy. The female really did not put on extremely slutty clothes regrettably, however she was eye-catching enough.She rubbed my back as well as legs and also after that had me turn over. The following area I went right into was on my means residence from job, and also the initial time right here continues to be one of the fondest sex-related memories of my life.
Following time, the very same point took place with a truly hot/ugly skank. I strolled in to this horrible and also silent out of the method strip club as well as asked her if some woman was there, and also she claimed no.
I started discovering that there were massage therapy areas anywhere as well as I was entirely captivated. At the appropriate chance, I quit right into one and also obtained a massage therapy. The lady really did not put on excessively slutty garments sadly, however she was eye-catching enough.She rubbed my back and also legs and also after that had me turn over adult massage, asian massage, body to body massage, chinese massage, erotic massage, happy ending, massage parlours, massage therapist, massage therapy, masseur, nude massage, nuru massage, oriental massage, sensual massage, sex massage, tantra massage, tantric massage, thai massage, adult erotic massage, vivastreet, backpage escorts, punternet.
She after that vanished right into the evening, never ever to be seen once more. I had to do with 18, and also assumed I would certainly attempt it out, yet obviously I simply needed to go residence as well as jerk off customarily. It was possibly for the very best that she rushed me, due to the fact that or else I envision I would certainly have been filled with sense of guilt, or even worse.
The following location I entered into got on my method house from job, and also the very first time right here continues to be among the fondest sex-related memories of my life. I had actually found out about a woman functioning there under the name Ivy, I assume, and also requested her. She had not been there.
I strolled in to this horrible and also silent out of the method strip club as well as asked her if some lady was there, as well as she claimed no.
Generally, I would certainly simply leave and also after that snag off at residence while assuming concerning the chick in the location. This time, as I strolled away she transformed me around as well as got my cock.
After a pair of mins she asked what I had in my pocketbook, which was around 20 dollars. She drew me off some even more as well as after that snagged me off 'til I came on the flooring.
Some chick was speaking on the phone as well as she looked adorable, so I stated "what concerning her?". The old woman brought me right into a min as well as a space later on, the sexiest hooker I have actually ever before seen can be found in, putting on underwears as well as a little white tee. She's hispanic, white gorgeous dark hair.
My very first physical call with a chick was a pole dancer in some sleazy club. I stroll in as well as there's this huge black girl that quickly ordered my penis, rested me down, unzipped me as well as began drawing me off.
Apart from that, I remember accessing the very least one lap dancing on a side road strip joint, however it had not been also gratifying as well as I really did not come. That has to do with it for pole dancers, since afterwards I uncovered the happiness of the oriental massage therapy shop call girl Balcathie, courtesan Balcathie, hookers Balcathie, sluts Balcathie, whores Balcathie, gfe Balcathie, girlfriend experience Balcathie, shagging Balcathie, strip club Balcathie, strippers Balcathie, dogging Balcathie, fuck buddy Balcathie, hookups Balcathie, free sex Balcathie, sex meet Balcathie, nsa sex Balcathie.
When I was a teen, my initial call with a functioning lady was. I was come close to by this center aged blonde streetwalker took a 10 buck expense off me. It never ever struck me that this had not been sufficient cash for any kind of sort of deal.
That hasn't occurred because that day with a pole dancer. One older woman called Karen did it to me at a celebration as soon as well as it was amazing. Anyhow, this blonde-redhead stripper/whore snagged me off yet really did not make me orgasm.
Right here is an account of some my experiences with different pole dancers, hookers as well as massage therapy shop girls.

One informal analysis suggests short first names are strongly correlated with higher salaries.
Posted on February 23, by Scott Alexander [Content warning: Discussion of social justice, discussion of violence, spoilers for Jacqueline Carey books. This post was inspired by a debate with a friend of a friend on Facebook who has since become somewhat famous.
Andrew Cord criticizes me for my bold and controversial suggestion that maybe people should try to tell slightly fewer blatant hurtful lies: And then complain about losing rather than changing their tactics to match those of people who are winning.
That post [ the one debunking false rape statistics ] is exactly my problem with Scott. It honestly makes me kind of sick. In other words, if a fight is important to you, fight nasty. If that means lying, lie. If that means insults, insult. If that means silencing people, silence.
But in a way, that would be assuming the conclusion. Then if the stress ends up bursting an aneurysm in his brain, I can dance on his grave, singing: I mean, he thinks that sexism is detrimental to society, so spreading lies and destroying people is justified in order to stop it.
I think that discourse based on mud-slinging and falsehoods is detrimental to society. You know who got things done? Why not assassinate prominent racist and sexist politicians and intellectuals? Unless you do not believe there will ever be an opportunity to defect unpunished, you need this sort of social contract to take you at least some of the way.
Bullets, as you say, are neutral. In a war, a real war, a war for survival, you use all the weapons in your arsenal because you assume the enemy will use all the weapons in theirs.
Because you understand that it IS a war. There are a lot of things I am tempted to say to this. You can get most of this from Hobbesbut this blog post will be shorter. Suppose I am a radical Catholic who believes all Protestants deserve to die, and therefore go around killing Protestants. So far, so good.
Unfortunately, there might be some radical Protestants around who believe all Catholics deserve to die. So we make an agreement: So then I try to destroy the hated Protestants using the government. I go around trying to pass laws banning Protestant worship and preventing people from condemning Catholicism.
Unfortunately, maybe the next government in power is a Protestant government, and they pass laws banning Catholic worship and preventing people from condemning Protestantism.
No one can securely practice their own religion, no one can learn about other religions, people are constantly plotting civil war, academic freedom is severely curtailed, and once again the country goes down the toilet.
So again we make an agreement. Like maybe the Protestants could stop saying that the Catholics worshipped the Devil, and the Catholics could stop saying the Protestants hate the Virgin Mary, and they could both relax the whole thing about the Jews baking the blood of Christian children into their matzah.
Rationalists should win, so put the blood libel on the front page of every newspaper! I know of two main ways: Reciprocal communitarianism is probably how altruism evolved.
Gradually you form a successful community of cooperators. The defectors either join your community and agree to play by your rules or get outcompeted. Divine grace is more complicated.
But consider the following: I am a pro-choice atheist.Future Warfare: Rethinking the Principles of War - project by the Office of Force Transformation (OFT).
Have the Principles of War changed? Some think it is an interesting question, and to that end we have put together a team to examine this subject.

The questionnaires were given to a cohort of 1st-yr medical students on completion of the gross anatomy lab course. Air sampling of formaldehyde levels in the anatomy labs was carried out on one day during the time in which these students were conducting dissections. Although the results of the air sampling showed formaldehyde levels to be well below current occupational standards, significant numbers of students reported experiencing symptoms associated with formaldehyde exposure.
Estimates of the relative risk of experiencing formaldehyde-related symptoms in the anatomy laboratories compared to the control laboratories ranged from 2.
In addn, it was found that female students were 3 times more likely to report formaldehyde-related symptoms than male students. Logistic regression was used to estimate exposure odds ratios STET while taking into account multiple risk factors for each site.

With budgetary problems at the state and local levels, municipal bonds have become an asset class everyone loves to hate; it's tough to remember that just a few years ago many investors considered them second only to Treasuries in terms of safety. But Guy Benstead, co-manager of Forward Long/Short Credit Analysis (FLSRX) argues that municipal bonds aren't the problem children of the fixed-income universe--they're just misunderstood.
What's your take on the municipal-bond market?
The municipal market has undergone the tumultuous transition from a unitary asset class to one that's fragmented by credit-specific issues. This shift has occurred because the fundamentals of many municipalities are under stress.
This fear and uncertainty, though unsettling for many investors, furnishes us with ample opportunities.
Have the new BuildAmericaBonds (BAB) been a game changer?
They have been a game changer for the marketplace, though they haven't changed our strategy. For example, if we do a credit analysis ofAMR Corp ( AMR ), Texas Utilities or Dominion Resources ( D ) and conclude that the credit quality and outlook are favorable, we'll examine a variety of issues--from corporate and municipal bonds to trust-preferred securities--and add the cheapest and most attractive security to the portfolio.
Our approach to BABs doesn't differ. We treat aCalifornia general obligation (CalGO)BAB just as we would a tax-exempt CalGO bond. Relative value is the key--that is, is it cheaper to own a taxableBAB than a tax-exempt municipal bond?
In terms of the market, BABs have changed the game by reducing the net supply of tax-exempt issues. TheBAB market has gone from zero to $190 billion in about 18 months, and this issuance has primarily been in the long end of the curve.
We've seen an almost 1-for-1 reduction in new issues of tax-exempt bonds as BABs increase in popularity, a game-changing scenario that the market has yet to appreciate fully.
But once we turn the page on this year, and especially in 2012 and 2013, investors will realize that tax rates are taking a bigger bite out of their investment returns; demand for tax-exempt income will increase.
This confluence of factors will come to a head.
Baby boomers are looking to retire, and the bear markets of 2007 and 2008 took a lot of wealth out of people's pockets and reduced risk appetites; fixed-income securities will attract a great deal of interest.
When investors compare returns at the new, higher tax rates, municipals and other tax-exempt fare will stand out.
But now credit quality is a major concern among fearful investors. All too often analysis stops at highlighting broader risks and why municipal bonds are a bad bet in this environment. Granted, some concerns are valid; budget deficits and lower revenues are a major challenge, though certain areas are worse off than others.
You believe many of the concerns are overblown?
Municipalities have been much more resilient than many investors expected.
A year ago fear predominated, and people tend to take the most recent experience and extrapolate it out on a straight line.
Many assumed that municipal revenues would decline 20 percent a year for the next six years, making bankruptcy a real concern.
But municipal revenues appear to have troughed as stock markets have recovered, and unemployment, though still elevated, has stabilized. Conditions may not be ideal, but at least things have stopped getting worse.
Unlike the federal government, the vast majority of state and local entities must balance their budgets each year, and many have found creative ways to cut spending.
These reductions may involve a bit of kicking the can further down the road, but expenditures have declined. Such decisions are difficult and unpopular. Nevertheless, managers, mayors and councils around the country are rationalizing municipal budgets and meeting targets.
We expect it will take at least another year or two for municipalities to get their fiscal houses in order. Some areas will succumb to the pressure and tip over, but anything approaching a universal default by municipalities is a long shot; the problems won't be as widespread as many fear.
Many investors regard long bonds as a sucker's bet because of the steep yield curve and uncertainty about interest rates. But nobody wants to sit on money that's earning nothing, so they're piling into shorter-term bonds and pushing down the yields.
We have no problem going out on the long end of the yield curve; we can hedge against the risk that interest rates will go up.
What are some of the opportunities you've found in this market?
CCC-rated Texas Utilities has its problems, but we own a municipal bond that's puttable in 2011 and yields 9.8 percent, which, on a tax-adjusted basis, amounts to almost 15 percent. We picked the issue up at a discount, but we expect it to survive and continue to service its debt through the end of 2011.
Tobacco-settlement bonds also offer opportunities.
When tobacco manufacturers settled with states in the 1980s, these remunerations took the form of long-dated payments to each states that filed suit.
The biggest obligors were the old Phillip Morris, RJ Reynolds and Lorillard ( LO ); together these firms accounted for 85 percent of the payments made to the states.
Instead of waiting for this money to come in, some states bundled portions of the payments into asset backed securities. Three of the biggest issuers areCalifornia,New Jersey andOhio.
Ohio's tobacco-settlement bonds are issued under the name "Buckeye Tobacco." We hold a BBB-rated Buckeye with an active sinking fund; each year the issuer buys back a portion of the bond at par, leaving it with an average life of about 10 years.
Today these bonds trade at 83.5, and every 12 months some bonds are called. If you buy a bond at 83.5, you're going to make 16.5 points on whatever portion is called. In the meantime, you still receive your coupon.
Because you'll lose some of your bonds to the sinking fund, the issue has a 10-year average life and a tax-exempt yield of 7.35 percent. Let's say you pay a tax rate of 40 percent; that's a pretax equivalent of roughly 12.25 percent.
The three tobacco companies all have corporate bonds outstanding, and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that some of your readers own them.
For example, Lorillard's 10-year bonds trade at 102.25 and yield 6.55 percent; Phillip Morris/Altria ( MO ) bonds go for 127.5 and yield 5.4 percent; and an RJ Reynolds bond yields 4.75 percent at a price of 114. You could assemble a portfolio of these taxable bonds and get a yield of 5.5 to 6 percent.
Or you can buy Buckeye Tobacco bonds that are almost 200 basis points cheaper.
Here's another opportunity in the misunderstood municipal market. Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG) issued BABs earlier this year that are essentially credits of Georgia Power, which is part of Southern Company ( SO ).
Georgia Power's 30-year bonds yield 5.15 percent, while the MEAGBAB offers a yield of 6.75 percent- and these are essentially the same credit.
Another option is a state ofCalifornia general-obligation bond. You can buy CalGO tax-exempt bonds with a 10-year maturity that yield 4.2 percent.
You might dismiss this yield as a bit low even though it works out to an after-tax equivalent of about 7 percent. But 10-year bonds issued byCalifornia- based grocer Safeway (SWY) yield only 3.95 percent.
And if economic conditions deteriorate to the point thatCalifornia is at risk of default, Safeway, which depends on the state's citizens for 30 to 50 percent of its revenue, will also suffer.
Needless to say, municipal bonds aren't grossly overvalued, especially on a relative basis.
What's your best advice for investors?
TheUS economic recovery will be slow; we advise investors to add income-producing assets. In a slow growth environment, securities that pay you to wait are an attractive option. The low yields that prevail these days suggest that the market concurs.
We also believe in the municipal story I outlined earlier. Tax rates are headed higher, while the supply of tax-exempt bonds continues to decline. Long-dated municipal bonds are cheap right now, but once people get their tax bills in 2011 and 2012, tax-exempt options will be in high demand.
Don't be shy about taking advantage of this market dislocation; the opportunity is clearly there, but it's universally misreported in the popular press.
