The director of studies at US-based Freedom House yesterday accused state-owned Central News Agency (CNA) of "misapprehending" his comments regarding the judicial process in Taiwan and claiming that he saw a recent verdict against former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) as positive for Taiwan's democratic development.
The Formosa Foundation, a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization, invited Christopher Walker to give a speech on freedom in Taiwan on Sunday, in which he focused on democratic processes, institutional transparency and media freedom in Taiwan and the region.
However, a CNA report of the event released the following day misrepresented his remarks on the judicial process in Taiwan in a way that made it appear he was specifically commenting on the corruption cases against Chen, Walker said.
The Chinese-language report, which has not been translated into English by the wire service, read: "After former president Chen Shui-bian recently [on Nov. 11] received his final [guilty] verdict, Christopher Walker ... said he believes that while this was a tough choice to make, punishing a corrupt regime with jail will help Taiwan's democratic system become stronger."
Still quoting Walker, the report continued: "Administrations that do not pay any attention to corruption will end eventually."
"Walker said that strong democratic systems are generally not influenced by isolated events, however, because Taiwan is a young democracy, events like the Chen case will give rise to discussions about whether Taiwan's democratic system is strong enough," the article added.
Those passages, Walker told the Taipei Times yesterday, misrepresented what he said and put words in his mouth.
"Freedom House places emphasis on key areas of the democratic process and does not take a position on a specific case, as was suggested in these media reports relating to the case of former president Chen," he said.
"Rather, our assessments focus on the degree to which a country's institutions are operating in a transparent and accountable manner, and according to the rule of law," Walker added.

How to Organize the Stuff that Comes with Your Laptop
Laptops, like all computers, come with lots of bits and pieces. Some of that stuff isn't junk, and you want to keep it for as long as you own the laptop. Other stuff is junk, and you can toss it. The problem you face now is that it's difficult to determine what's worth keeping and what to throw away.
Here's a handy way to approach this unpacking and pre-setup stage of your laptop's introduction to your lap:
Unpack the laptop.
Remove the laptop from any plastic bag or shrink-wrap. Don't worry about opening the laptop's lid yet (though the temptation may be great). Just set the thing on a table by itself.
Find all the various hardware pieces that came with the laptop.
Look for the power adapter, power cord, battery, extra batteries, phone cord, adapters, cables, connectors, tiny weird gizmos that you'll probably lose eventually, and other mystery pieces of equipment.
Make a pile for any discs that came with the laptop.
These include all CDs and DVDs. Those discs may contain programs that are already installed or ready for installation. Some discs might contain device drivers or special software required to run your laptop's hardware. Plus, you may see an operating system disc or system recovery disc. These are all important things!
Make a pile for all the paperwork.
There are four categories of paperwork: manuals, warranties, special offers, and weird pieces of paper, the importance of which cannot be determined.
Place all the packing material back into the box.
This material includes plastic bags, twist-ties from the cables, and those silica pouches they tell you not to eat (probably because the stuff inside tastes like candy).
Set up the laptop.
If the laptop came with a how-to manual, consider yourself lucky. Most laptops don't come with any how-to materials whatsoever. After you get it set up, you'll have a better idea of what you need to keep.
After the computer is set up, divide the piles into two stacks.
In the first stack is the laptop itself and anything you need to run the laptop (usually just the power cord). Everything else goes into the second stack, which you can store in a well-labeled box or drawer somewhere in case you need it later.

Learn about our editorial policy Elizabeth Quinn Updated on May 09, 2018 Jon Larson/Getty Images More in Fitness Beginners Motivation Sports Nutrition Fitness Trends Running Strength Walking Workouts Cardio Flexibility Yoga Pilates Tools and Equipment Health and Safety View All Many common over-the-counter and prescription medications can cause side-effects if you exercise. While most people know that the caffeine found in coffee, colas, and some aspirin is a stimulant, many don't realize that cold medications, diet pills, allergy remedies and herbal teas also may contain compounds that can elevate the heart rate. For most people, taking any one of these in a normal dose probably wouldn't cause a problem. But with the addition of exercise (also a stimulant), you may experience unwanted side-effects. Supplements, Ergogenic Aids, and Exercise Some drugs may hurt performance by impairing coordination and judgment, causing drowsiness or accelerating dehydration. Others called ergogenic aids may enhance performance, though often at some risk. Many of these drugs and supplements are banned by most professional sports governing bodies. Cipro and Tendon Injuries Tendon injuries and other problems have been reported in athletes who have taken a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones, also known as Cipro, a popular antibiotic for skin, respiratory and urinary tract infections. While Cipro clear many infections some physicians advise against its use in athletes. One study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that higher doses of Cipro had more severe effects. In most cases of an adverse reaction to Cipro, the preliminary symptom often includes a slight twinge of pain or soreness that occurs during or after activity. It's common for athletes to ignore this sort of pain, but if they do that while they're on this drug, they may develop tendon inflammation or other injuries. Athletes at greatest risk of injury are those who do high-impact exercise, heavy lifting or fasts starts and stops. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently changed the labeling for fluoroquinolones to include a warning about the possibility of tendon rupture and to recommend stopping the drug and refraining from exercise at the first sign of pain or inflammation. Yet many doctors aren't aware of this advice. Anti-Inflammatory Medications for Sports Injuries There is some controversy over whether chronic overuse of over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can cause permanent damage to cartilage, but you should not be taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) just so you can exercise through an injury. Exercisers who rely on these drugs to mask pain will end up with other problems because pain is the body's signal that something is wrong, so trying to block it out may lead to serious injury. Alcohol and Antihistamines Injury can also occur when exercisers take drowsiness-inducing medications, such as alcohol and many antihistamines, before activity, Chamberlain notes. These medications can decrease reaction time, balance and coordination. If you take them, you should avoid things like cycling or using mechanical equipment like a treadmill. Was this page helpful?

|The road from Sarajevo
It also has people, 3.5 million of them, although the loss of over 150,000 young and educated Bosnians over the past decade or so has left an indelible mark on the demography country. It is a country accustomed to change; it has swung between the Ottomans and Hapsburgs, the Yugoslavs (both the Kingdom and the Socialist Republic) and ceded to the Nazis during the second World War, it saw intensive resistance action as the birthplace of Joseph Tito's partisans.
And then, of course, came the civil war in the 1990s; an inevitable conclusion, perhaps, of centuries of unfinished ethnic discord and the separation from the Yugoslav Federation of Slovenia and Croatia and the subsequent power realignment. It was a war of extreme brutality, and the cessation of hostilities and the ensuing twenty years of peace has allowed tensions to simmer down and the country re-establish a sense of normalcy.
Or as normal as Bosnia can be. It is a fine place for visitors. Its people are welcoming and warm, the countryside spectacular, its history deep and evident and the undying culture of hospitality that marks the Balkan countries is unmistakable.
Mostar's Old Town
It is a good thing that I did, because I was miles away from the hotel, and suitably redirected, I made it on the third pass.
It was at dinner that night (Podrum's Restaurant in the OldTown) that I first talked about B&H with a local. Seno Hadžiosmaxioxić is a delightful and interesting man. He has lived in the UK, Germany and Portugal and now returned to the family business and Mostar mainly because of the exodus of young people, including his son. "How can we rebuild a country without our young people?", he asked, only partly rhetorically. "They are all going." The lack of an agreement with the EU, Canada or the USA for migrants did not seem to be a problem to emigration, and indeed, not for the first time, I wondered about the immigration policies of the wealthy countries that seemed to both encourage bright, young migrants, and simultaneously stymie their own efforts at economic development in those same countries.
|Mostar. From The Old Bridge
I spoke later to a young man who worked in a small bar. I asked why he was still there when so many of his friends had gone, and he said that he was only waiting until he had finished his school year before heading off. I asked where the most popular country was for his generation to go to, and was only mildly surprised when he said "Ireland; now England has left the EU, there is no point is going there."
And so, as I wandered through this old and serially abused town, I admired the reconstruction, wondered what the original Ottoman builders would have thought of so many restaurants and shops competing to sell fridge magnets and copper teapots, and decided that I liked the pictures much more than the reality, and decided to leave early.
The Tekija Blagaj - The Dervish House
Seno had advised that I visit two sites before heading to Sarajevo. The first, Blagaj was the home of sect of whirling dervishes, a group that has always puzzled me. Both their obscure form of sermon, splendidly called The Tasawwuf, and their almost maniacal, repetitive whirls. Many years ago I witnessed Dervishes whirling in Istanbul, and lost for a moment in tangential thought, found myself assigning day jobs to these rotating believers. Dervishes come from all walks of life, of course, as do adherents of all faiths, but "why the whirl?", I wondered. "Are you still dizzy when you go to the office or drive your bus in the morning?". Here, they practice three times each week.
This is, of course, only an aside to the very beautiful and spiritually important Dervish House at Blagaj. It is stunning, and reflects the overriding belief that the natural environment within which the house is built is an integral part of the relationship with God, and this house, the Tekija, is a wonderful example. Nestled at the foot of an imposing cliff of quite magical geologic patterns, it lies by a river flow that rushes from under the cliff itself. It is quite beautiful, and quite serene. The Dervishes have a very fine place of worship.
|Pocatelij as seen from thh road
Twenty kilometers further along, lies the Ottoman town of Počitelj. It actually comes as a bit of a surprise after the usual roadside scruff; a partly built house here, a small tire dump there, a concrete bus-stop here and a cluster of peculiar shops there. The road has broadened out as the mountainous terrain heads toward the Adriatic, and the hills, while still commanding, lie a little farther from the road. Yet coming around a corner, one is immediately struck by this quaint, ancient and entirely improbable community lying by the side of the road. Seemingly untouched by the centuries.
Dating back to the 15th century, it was a fortified town that housed a Hungarian garrison between 1463 and 1471. Following a brief siege, the Ottomans captured Počitelj, and from then on it lost its strategic significance and its moment in the sun had set. It has remained dozy for five hundred years, pausing periodically to mend a step, change a light bulb and slowly toddle its way through the centuries. The slow passage of time, or more precisely the lack of any apparent need for it to hustle, has left the town as a marvellous and most picturesque example of the Ottoman Empire. I am assuming that it is picturesque, because the sleet that was drifting down on the day that I visited thwarted my photographic ambitions somewhat.
It is quite lovely. For the fit and able, the fortress lies a hundred metres or so above the town; for others, simply wandering through the ancient streets gives a distinct sensation of time travel. Perhaps the grey weather helped; the stairways were empty and uneven, the roofs bare and uneven, the mosques spiny and confident, and the entire blend of life and spirituality was completely absorbing.
And so, after a coffee, I turned my car around from the illegal position in which I had left it, and drove back to Sarajevo, the capital of this enigmatic country, and the next piece of the puzzle.

Fast Car Window Tinting in Victoria, BC
Car window tinting is one of the most affordable ways to improve the look of your vehicle, and we offer the finest window tinting services in Victoria. You'll notice the sleek, custom look as soon as the installation is complete. It's just one of the many benefits you'll get from high quality, high performance film. As you drive, you'll notice your vehicle is cooler and more comfortable. It's safer and the interior is less prone to fading.
Our services are available for most vehicle models in production, and can be applied in a short time. Call or visit us today for more information, or to schedule tinting for your windows.
Benefits of Our Premium Window Film
The Look
Window films are available in a variety of colors and shades with different light transmission levels. You can choose from high-performance metalized films or conventional non-reflective films. To see how a particular film might look on your vehicle, check out our samples.
Keeps You Cool
Our films reject significantly more heat and solar energy than ordinary films. Depending on your selection, our films can reject up to 65 percent of the sun's total energy. You'll notice the difference on long drives or when your car has been parked in the sun. Automotive films reduce "hot spots" that even your air conditioning system can't overcome. By keeping the interior cooler, your air conditioner won't have to work as hard. You'll save fuel and help extend the life of your air conditioning system.
Keeps a Vehicle Young
Automobiles are an expensive investment, so many people are keeping their vehicles longer. A well maintained vehicle will retain its value better at trade-in time. Automotive films can help. The combination of solar heat and ultraviolet can cause interior trim, upholstery and carpeting to fade. Because our solar film rejects solar energy and up to 98 percent of ultraviolet, you can slow down your vehicle's aging process. Plastic trim parts are less likely to crack and fabrics aren't as quick to fade. Automotive film helps your vehicle look new longer.
Reduces Driver Fatigue
The harsh glare from the sun or bright headlights because squinting and fatigue. Automotive film significantly reduces glare and helps take the strain out of driving. You'll appreciate the added comfort it provides.
Increases Safety
People don't usually associate window film with increased safety. But, today's vehicles use tempered glass in the side and rear windows. An accident or a blow from a heavy object can cause these windows to shatter into hundreds of tiny pieces of glass. Automotive window film protects by helping to hold the glass together so you're not showered with broken glass. In addition, automotive film can provide extra privacy for increased safety.
Do I need to wait for a dry day to apply window tinting?
Nope. It's always a treat to get some sunny weather here in BC, but we can't depend on it, and neither do the newest window tinting adhesives. Your tinting is firmly in place as soon as the service is complete, and you can drive around in the rain immediately without any worries that it might damage the newly-applied sheets.
How long should it take until I can roll my windows up and down after the treatment?
It's a good idea to wait at least 24 hours before you expose your window tinting to the friction caused by rolling them up or down. Waiting this long should ensure that the adhesive can set properly without being pulled in one direction or the other. Once a day has passed, the adhesive should have finished bonding, and it will no longer be at risk for any problems when the window is rolled up or down.
Can you remove older window tinting for a new installation?
Yes we can. Tinting can be difficult to remove without frustrating streaks and leftover strips, but we have materials that are designed for this purpose so that everything can be removed cleanly.

It looks like the Department of Justice has put the brakes on Federal involvement in asset forfeiture.
Here is the Guardian's report: "Attorney general Eric Holder puts halt to warrantless 'stop and seize' tactics."
State and local police will no longer be allowed to seize citizens' property without evidence that a crime has occurred, following an action by the attorney general, Eric Holder, to effectively end the program.
Holder on Friday announced a new policy that, with a few exceptions, prohibits state and local law enforcement from implementing the controversial Equitable Sharing Program, which was created in 1985 as part of the US government's "war on drugs".
The program is meant to allow law enforcement agencies to use property they believe has been obtained through illegal means to inject funds into their departments. In practice, it has been criticized for allowing officers to seize the assets of people in such innocuous circumstances as traffic stops without requiring the property's owner to be found guilty of a crime.
The Washington Post has been investigating the controversial program and said in September that police have made more than $2.5bn from people without search warrants since 9/11.
There is no love lost between Eric Holder and me, but he did the right thing in this case. Sometimes even bad people do good deeds, especially when they are getting embarrassed. And, when the news media to the north of you is warning their citizens to be careful traveling through your country because they might get robbed by bandits with badges, that is pretty embarrassing.
So he finally took action. The law is still on the books, sadly, but the feds won't be participating.
Of course, there is a huge loophole!
Under the new policy, the justice department said law enforcement officials can still seize property that "relates to public safety concerns, including firearms, ammunition, explosives and property associated with child pornography".
So basically when will law enforcement find a firearm and not have an excuse to say it is a "public safety concern"? Even the child pornography exception makes no sense because no one has been convicted of a crime in a court of law. So, again, how can this be legal?
Nevertheless, it is a start. Now we need to go further and get these barbaric laws overturned in all the states of the Union.

The parents of a sex crime victim in Taipei said they spoke publicly about the crime against their daughter "Amy" because they wanted to warn the public that the man convicted in the case has not been incarcerated and is still on the streets.
The case concerns Kevin Cheng (鄭家堯), 48, who the Taipei Shilin District Court on May 2 found guilty of having sex with a girl under 16 — the age of consent in Taiwan.
The court convicted Cheng for engaging in sex with a minor on at least two occasions, handing out a two-year and eight-month prison sentence. Both Cheng and the girl's parents said they would appeal the ruling.
Amy's parents said the intercourse was not consensual, but constituted rape of an underage girl who was naive about her body and had no sexual experience by a depraved, middle-aged man,
"I could not believe Taiwan's justice system. This man is a convicted rapist, he forced sex on an underage girl. Yet he only got a term of less than three years," Amy's father said in a recent interview.
"This is just not right," said the father, a British national married to a Taiwanese. "A convicted rapist for crimes on underage girls would get at least 10 years in prison in UK."
"Also he should be locked up now, but he is free to go about his business, pending an appeal in the case, while our daughter suffers psychological damage," the father added.
"Child rapists would be detained immediately in the UK. If there were sufficient grounds for appeal, which is highly unlikely, it would be made while the offender is serving a custodial sentence behind bars," he said.
In the UK, pedophiles, once found guilty, would immediately be placed on the "Sex Offenders Register" and could be monitored, he said, adding that unfortunately Taiwan has no such system.
Amy's parents spoke with anxiety about Cheng's freedom to move about, despite his conviction.
"It is very worrying, because Cheng lives in Tianmu (天母) and is active in social circles. We want to warn other parents about this case and let people know that Cheng has a preference for going after white Caucasian girls and daughters from mixed-race marriages," he said.
Cheng got to know Amy's father four years ago, on a bicycle outing.
"We really regret befriending him and inviting him to our house now, knowing he is a depraved man with a predilection for having sex with underage girls," Amy's father said.

From the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers
Educating a New Generation
For the Well-Being of All Children
What is circumcision?
Circumcision is the cutting off of the fold of skin that normally covers the glans of the penis. This double layer of skin, the prepuce, is commonly known as the foreskin.
At birth, a baby's foreskin and glans are attached to each other, very much the way the eyelids of a newborn kitten are sealed closed. The foreskin and glans may not fully separate from each other until after puberty. Before a baby's foreskin is cut off, it must be forcibly separated from the glans with a metal probe. The entire glans of the baby's penis and the site of the incision are then raw, open wounds. You should, therefore, watch your baby carefully the first few days for possible complications.
What post-operative complications should I watch for?
After your baby is circumcised, bleeding should stop. If your baby's penis keeps bleeding, the doctor should be notified immediately.
Infections can be in the wound, the tissue around the wound, the membrane just under the skin, and/or the blood stream. Increasing redness, swelling, oozing, and fever are all signs of infection. Infections can quickly invade a newborn baby's body. If you see any sign of infection, the doctor should be notified immediately.
Urinary retention:
If your baby goes longer than 18 hours without urinating after being circumcised, the doctor should be notified immediately.
Hypospadias and/or urethral fistula:
If your baby's urinary opening (meatus) is not at the tip of his glans, or if urine comes out of any other opening in his penis, the doctor should be notified immediately.
Dislodged Plastibell circumcision device:
If there is a plastic ring with a string tied around its rim on your baby's penis, it should drop off in five to eight days. If it does not drop off within eight days, or if it slips from his glans onto his shaft, or if you notice any swelling, the doctor should be notified immediately.
Complications from anesthetics:
The penile dorsal nerve block requires injections at the base of the penis. Needles puncturing tissue in this area can cause bruising and can damage the dorsal penile nerve. Accidental puncture of the dorsal artery or vein can lead to hematoma or gangrene. If your baby has extensive bruising or swelling around the injection sites, the doctor should be notified.
Topical anesthetics, such as EMLA cream, do not prevent circumcision pain. Furthermore, they carry the risk of methemoglobinemia (when hemoglobin cannot carry oxygen) and are not approved for use on children under one month old. If your baby's color turns bluish or grayish, or if he becomes lethargic, the doctor should be notified immediately.
After your baby is circumcised — with or without an anesthetic — he will be in pain. Urine and feces in the wound add to his discomfort and distress. Some doctors prescribe post-operative pain medication, but it is not always effective and is never 100% effective. You can comfort your baby by holding him, nursing him frequently, sleeping with him, and being especially careful when changing his diapers.
Will circumcision change the way my baby eats or sleeps?
Some babies feed readily right after they are circumcised. Many do not. These babies need more time to recover (usually one or two days).
Sleep patterns:
Many parents worry because their baby sleeps an unusually long time right after being circumcised. Having part of his penis cut off is a painful, stressful and exhausting experience for a newborn baby. Sleeping helps your baby recover.
How should I care for his circumcision wound?
Dressing changes:
If your baby was circumcised with a Plastibell device, the plastic ring should be in place but there should be no dressing on his penis. If your baby was circumcised with a Gomco Clamp, his penis will be bandaged with a gauze dressing to keep the open wound on his remaining skin and the open wound on his glans from sticking to each other and to his diaper. Some doctors recommend gently replacing this dressing when it is soiled. Others recommend removing it after an hour or two. Some doctors recommend applying Vaseline to the wound with every diaper change to keep the wound from sticking to the diaper.
The yellowish crust on your baby's glans forms from the fluids that are part of the healing process. It will fall off by itself as the glans heals.
After your baby has a bowel movement, the circumcision area should be gently rinsed with warm running water. It is best to wait until the wound has healed (seven to ten days) before touching it or using a wash cloth or "baby-wipes."
Preventing adhesions:
Adhesions form when new tissue grows between two structures that are normally separate. The raw surfaces of the glans and the remaining penile skin can fuse together. This can be prevented by pulling the penile shaft skin behind the line of incision gently away from the glans once a day after the initial healing of the wound (seven to ten days). This should be done until your baby is at least one year old to ensure that the deeper layers of the wound heal without fusing to adjacent tissue.
What about later complications?
After circumcision, the urinary meatus no longer has its protective foreskin covering and may become irritated or infected, leading to meatitis (ulcers around the meatus). As the ulcers heal, scar tissue forms, constricting the meatus and causing a condition known as meatal stenosis.
Meatal stenosis:
Constriction of the meatus impedes and sometimes blocks the flow of urine. Urine backed up into the bladder can cause painful urination and obstructive renal disease. Urine retained in the bladder is a breeding ground for bacteria and can lead to infection. If you notice anything irregular about your baby's urine flow, the doctor should be notified. Surgery may be required to enlarge the urinary opening. (Meatal stenosis occurs almost exclusively among babies who have been circumcised.)
Preputial stenosis:
The circumcision scar sometimes forms as a tight, constricted, inelastic ring that traps the glans behind it. It may require corrective surgery.
Buried penis:
After circumcision, the penis may become entrapped by scar tissue and retract into the pubic fat and fascia. This condition may correct itself naturally but sometimes requires surgery.
Is there anything else I should know?
Increasing numbers of males who were circumcised as babies are coming forward to report long-term circumcision-related complications.
Some circumcised males find the constant abrasion of their exposed glans extremely uncomfortable.
Painful erections:
Males have erections throughout life, even before they are born. A male's foreskin provides the skin necessary for comfortable erections. So much penile skin is cut off of some males that their erections are painful.
Circumcision scars vary from male to male. Some are more noticeable than others. Many circumcised males feel self-conscious about the scar on their penis.
Anatomical research shows that the foreskin is erogenous tissue. Cutting the foreskin off desensitizes the penis. Circumcision also causes the surface of the externalized glans to dry out, thicken and toughen, causing even more desensitization. Many circumcised males have a hard time dealing with the realization that their penis has been permanently desensitized.
Sense of loss:
Many circumcised males regret and resent that part of their penis was cut off.

Congress trains guns on acting Arunachal chief secretary over assembly bye-poll postponement
Pradeep Kumar | Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh) [India]: July 12 (ANI): The Congress Party today accused the Arunachal Pradesh Government with manipulating the bye-election in the Pakke-Kessang assembly constituency in East Kameng district on July 11. Accusing state chief secretary in-charge Satya Gopal and chief electoral officer (CEO) for misguiding the Election Commission of India (ECI), Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee president Takam Sanjoy said that the election commission has declared today "all proceedings taken so far in pursuance of July 5 bye-election notification are declared as null and void". He produced a copy of ECI secretary S B Joshi to the media at the Press Club here, which categorically quoted the July 11 Chief Secretary's letter: "that under the current difficult climatic conditions, the conduct of the poll as per the schedule may not be possible as movement and retrieval of polling team are likely to be adversely affected". All candidates reached the constituency on July 10, including Biyuram Wage (BJP), former deputy chief minister Kameng Dolo (Congress), former health minister Atum Welly and B C Tok (Independents). When Dolo and Tok went to returning officer's office to file nominations today, they were told about postponement of bye-poll, he said. Though Wage and Welly had filed their nominations on July 11, the state's CEO gave false information to the ECI that "no nomination paper have been filed by any aspiring candidate" on the same day. Sanjoy demanded the transfer of Gopal, who is already under transfer orders, within 48-hours, or else the Congress would call for a day-long shutdown to ensure it. The postponement of the bye-poll to be conducted on July 29 is in total violation of the Representative of People's Act, fishy and undemocratic, Sanjoy claimed and exhorted the ECI to take note of infringement of its constitutional authority and reconsider its decision not to postpone the poll indefinitely. He said representatives of all political parties should have been invited for a discussion, but the acting chief secretary did it arbitrarily. "We will examine, consult legal consultants and file a case to ensure the democratic process," he said. Sanjoy said,"We will not be silent spectators if the CMO and officers are hell-bent on manipulating the election process. About 100 cameras have been installed to monitor all officers' movement in the constituency". Sanjoy alleged that the BJP Government is in a mess in the state. (ANI)

Two additional expenses that vary from student to student are healthcare and childcare. Tuition includes a health fee that covers basic services at the UF Student Health Care Service. Because all services are not covered, you should consider obtaining a supplemental student health insurance plan. The Florida Healthy Kids Program (telephone 1-888-352-5437) also offers inexpensive health insurance for children enrolled in Alachua County schools. The UF Baby Gator Nursery offers on-campus care for infants and children ages three to five for a varying cost based on income. Because there is a waiting list for this facility, parents are advised to contact the nursery (telephone 352-392-7900) as soon as their admission applications are approved.
Other graduate architecture student expenses may include initial layout for studio equipment and tools, occasional class field trips, and costs associated with your thesis or Master's Research Project (such as typing, duplication and binding fees).

Review: The Non-Designer's Design Book
Posted on February 21st, 2010 by Neil Crosby. Filed under Blog Posts.
I'm not a designer. That much is obvious from looking at the websites I produce that haven't been designed by someone else. That doesn't mean I don't care though; which is why on Christmas day last year I ordered Robin Williams' "The Non-Designer's Design Book" (as recommended to me by Tim Huegdon).
I've only just got round to reading the book, but I'm glad I did. As a learning book it's deliberately quite lightweight and easy to get through in a short time, in the same way that Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" is designed to be absorbed in a couple of hours on a flight. All told, I spent about three hours with this book, on my tube journeys to and from work this week.
Robin starts her journey by briefly explaining the concepts of Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity (anyone spot an acronym there?), before moving on to explore each concept in greater detail. As Robin repeatedly tells us in her book, by being able to name the concepts you're able to identify them and use them deliberately rather than accidentally.
The second half of the book deals with type; the different styles of typefaces, how to combine them and horrible errors of judgement to avoid.
Spread throughout the book are a bunch of mini quizzes and exercises designed to get you thinking about what you've just read. The quizzes are a nice touch, and I'm sure I've retained more knowledge because of them than I would have done if I'd just read through from cover to cover.
The book covers design in general, rather than being focussed on the web, print or presentations. Whilst Williams has written a book called "The Non-Designer's Web Book" I specifically chose to buy this one because both I wanted a general overview book and because the web book is from 2005 (a lifetime ago on the web) and has some mixed reviews. "The Non-Designer's Design Book" did not disappoint – it's given me that overview that I was looking for, and I now feel a bit more comfortable that my designs will actually work.
"The Non-Designer's Design Book" costs £23.99 in all good bookshops, or currently £12.30 on Amazon.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Further to this, earlier this month I bought Steve Krug's second book "Rocket Surgery Made Easy", which is a little more involved than his first, and covers usability testing in depth. Consider it another recommendation. ;)

One minute.
It doesn't seem like that long.
It's only 60 seconds. What could possibly go wrong in such a short amount of time?
If you are a school administrator you know.
You understand that things change quickly.
Very quickly.
Things can be "bee-bopping" right along and then BOOM!!! There it is (that should be a song).
In 60 seconds a good day can go to bad. A bad day can go to worse. And the worst day can… I hate to even say (if you are just starting your career… Godspeed… and keep your head on a swivel).
That's why on the nicest quietest days, a principal, dean, or superintendent never lets their guard down.
They can't afford to.
The next phone call or meeting could unleash holy terror (my second religious reference… weird).
Indescribable drama is always just around the corner.
Or on the next voicemail. Or in the next email (or 72 emails… which is what I call an average day).
Or the worst kind. The unexpected drop-in.
There is nothing that will ruin your day quicker than an agitated parent yelling "What are YOU going to DO about….?"
A minute.
It's not much.
But it can be.

Cory Briggs' real estate
Brian Maienschein, now a friend to big labor
Matt Potter 12:30 p.m., Dec. 11
Originally, a strip of public street called Plumosa Way, which runs 100 yards from Randolph Street to the edge of the canyon, was the northern boundary of the school. The street served Parker and two houses on the north side of the street, a blockish pseudo-adobe number on the east and a wood-sided '60s modern to the west on the corner with Randolph. Parker bought the former five years ago and the latter this past summer.

"I saw a lot of potential. I saw a place that had a real 'neighborhood feel.' It just needed community involvement. I remember that the first big issue that really caught my attention was the overcrowding, the density. Adams Elementary School was packed. Developers wanted to tear down more single-family homes to build more apartment buildings. Okay, fine. So the city needed affordable housing. But we weren't getting any additional infrastructure to compensate for the density."

When I close my eyes and think of Amici Park, I see young mothers and children, bocce players of various ages. I see the foreign-language students, eating, smoking, while incongruously playing handheld video games and a golden retriever or two in the background. The colors on the canvas behind my eyelids, in the background, are forest green, two khaki stripes (the sand courts), redwood, red-and-white checked tablecloths never to flutter in a breeze.

I picked up a bell for Bocardo's about nine-thirty on Friday night, my first night of work. (I was hanging in Hillcrest because I know it and because there was plenty of business from the market at least.) I drove right there, parked in front, and walked into the bar holding my hat and asked the bartender who called a cab. "Margie?" he said. A lady with a wig and old-lady glasses and a big chest was Margie.

Homer Delawie said, "Let's go look at that house." We trudged up the street and came back, resettled ourselves in my old parlour. Our moans became, with one voice, a cry to arms. Again, it's history.

"We try to cruise by the hot spots where there has been trouble. Bars or restaurants, businesses, what have you. For example. Shooters bar on 30th Street in North Park has had some problems with people passing by, opening the door, and yelling out, 'Hey, you faggots!' or something. And then someone threw a beer bottle in there. The Gay and Lesbian Center has had been a few people who've opened the doors and screamed something inside."

In her first summer here, Fargo helped organize the street's first block party. The road was barricaded off, and neighbors set up barbecues. With candles lit and dishes to share, the party went on until two in the morning. But Lee is the first to admit that the easy give-and-take that has since marked the various get-togethers has nothing to do with her. This was just life here on Olive Street, with its alley, its canyon.

Anne Riedman, a real estate investment broker who works in Golden Hill, said drive-throughs clash with the neighborhood's goal to create a pedestrian-oriented community. "Whenever you have a drive-through restaurant, it's certainly not easy to walk [near them]…. There's no reason to amend the plan for their profitability, What I find interesting is ten years ago they said it was not financially feasible to not have a drive-through, and they've been operating there for ten years."

Bill Cadman tells Congress on Supreme Court nomination: "Do your job"
"Dear Congress, do your job," said Senate President Bill Cadman.
The Colorado Springs Republican's remarks align with more with the message from Democrats — and diverge from GOP leaders, including Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, who want President Barack Obama to delay a nomination for the new president.
Cadman makes the case that the timing of the SCOTUS nomination gives Republicans an opportunity to shape the Democratic pick.
"Both sides have a job to do, so I think the political posturing right now is somewhat unfortunate," Cadman told reporters in his office Tuesday morning. "This is actually the time when the Republican Senate would have an influence on a Democratic presidential nominee."
"I know it's a little bit unusual to be in this place with a nominee with so little left of a presidential term, but it is what it is," he added. "Both sides have a job to do."
Cadman's stance drew significant reaction on social media — spread even by a White House spokesperson — and his office later issued a clarification. In a statement issued by his spokesman, Cadman said if the Senate delays confirmation it fits within its constitutional duty.
"My comment that 'both sides have a job to do' simply meant that the Senate's job of confirming a nominee, through its powers of advice and consent, is equal in importance to the president's job of nominating someone," Cadman said. "If a majority of senators choose to reject a nominee, or delay confirmation until after President Obama leaves office, they are perfectly within their rights, in my opinion, and doing the 'job' the Constitution assigns them."

In terms of dominating the Android tablet market, Amazon's Kindle Fire is on fire.
According to some rough estimates from mobile app analytics service Localytics, Kindle Fire devices in the U.S. alone account for 33 percent of all Android tablets worldwide.
The United States alone has the world's biggest tablet share at 59 percent, with the Kindle Fire and Fire HD tablets taking more than half of that. Barnes and Noble's Nook has 10 percent share, while Google's Nexus 7 has just seven percent.
These stats are derived from apps with Localytics' analytics on them, which include more than 500 million-plus unique devices.
The latest tablet market numbers had the iPad with a 55 percent market share and Android with 44 percent.
Amazon has focused on selling the Kindle Fire in the U.S. only, but recently the Seattle-based online giant announced expanded sales to Europe and its tablets could be sold in China soon.
I own a Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ and am loving it so far. Though I don't use it on an everyday basis, I have very few complaints. My colleague Todd Bishop and I are huge fans of the "Send to Kindle" Chrome add-on. If you don't have time to read a full article, this just lets you send the article to your Kindle for reading later.

Dear brother, the orphan children along with street children and poor and needy orphans are doing well. They completely forget their terrible experiences during life and happily enjoying in the presence of God. Slowly they came to normal life. Now they are reading their class lessons, reading the word of God, doing prayers and singing Christian songs. All orphan children are participating in the worship. They have beautiful faces. When they sing songs on Sunday, now they are looking like Angels of heaven. Praise the Lord, now they are children of God. It will increase in this year.
Dear brother are in need of money every month for recurring expenses to feed and to accommodate orphan children in our ministry. This will cover the costs of breakfast, lunch, dinner, evening refreshments, and special diet for two days a week like egg and chicken, supporting staff salaries like cooks and wardens. We are also in need of money every year to meet non-recurring expenses like Chairs, tables, mats, bed sheets, pillows, cooking vessels, dinner plates, glasses, jugs, serving items, school note books, school bags, shoes, belts, ties, clothing, medical and sanitation expenses. Pray for all this needs to run the Christian Orphanage. God has been providing funds to meet all the above needs from time to time. Believing that all truth is a manifestation of God's sovereignty in creation, we have established our ministry that proclaims Gods love. For the Christian, have to show the love of Jesus to the world who are lost. You must swell with pride when you see how much our ministry has benefited those.
Today I delivered the word of God on "Elisha Vs Elijah" taking the scripture text from I Kings 19:19-21. All the congregation moved with the word of God and came forward to re-dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ. I would like to share the same message with you. Feel free to share your thoughts on the message delivered in our churches.
Believers are comparable to Elisha, successor of the prophet Elijah, as is giving in 1st King 19:19-21. In Verse 19, we find Elisha, plowing with 12 yoke of oxen. Elisha, no doubt was immensely rich to own all these oxen. Yet he was not a lazy person. He himself was with the 12th pair toiling hard in the field along with his workers.
Idleness is no man's honor, nor is husbandry any man's disgrace. Being at the tail end, as he labored, he could supervise the work of all the 11 men plowing just in front of him. Besides being rich Elisha is thus someone who holds a supervisory position in his profession.
Plowing is a hard job that requires real stamina and much physical strain under hostile conditions. One can visualize in imagination that Elisah, while working in the open field in hot sun with no shelter over him to provide any shade and shadow, was perspiring profusely. Yet he was diligent in doing his duty. He was a man of great energy and dedication.
Suddenly Eliljah fast passing by, cast the mantle on the sweat soaked stinking body of Elisha and briskly walks off. Normal human reaction to this intrusion is to fling the blanket back on to the face of Elijah with a shout of violent disgusting protest. Elijah rugged in appearance and dress and rough in actions did not bother to stop and find out about the repercussions. He kept moving faster and Elisha had to leave the oxen and run to reach him seeking permission to go home and bid good-bye to his father and mother before following him. (V. 20)
Elisha was a godly man well informed of the Holy Scriptures. He understood that the blanket was the symbol of the spirit or authority and it's falling on anyone meant transferring of divine power to him. He therefore did haste to follow Elijah without hesitation when the blanket fell on him. His decision to serve him was instant. He was not only occupationally eligible to serve God but also spiritually sound to be a laborer in His vineyard. Elisah was the right person to be signed up as true Christian. In other words, the true Christians like Elisha should be spiritually and financially sound persons prepared to sacrifice their time and money in service to God.
It is not by accident that we are believers. We are believers because we are God's elected and selected ones on whom the blanket of power from above has fallen. We should, therefore be ready to serve Him with all our might as He beckons us.
Elijah, as requested, permitted Elisha to go home to bid farewell to his dear ones. But he warned him not to forget what he has done by putting the mantle on him. (V. 20). Home holds back many from being in God's service. Wealth stands in the way of waiting on the Lord attending to His work. Elijah did not want Elisha to stumble on them, get distracted and forget the calling. Elisha in turn too knew it. So on reaching home, he killed his priceless bulls, cooked them purposely on fire kindled by its implements and served them in a feast to the people of the place (V. 21) in celebration of his selection to serve the Lord. It was a real heart touching sacrifice. He did not want any trace of his best possessions to remain at home uncared for, pulling him back even in the memories and distracting him from sincerely serving the master. Then he happily arose went after Elijah and ministered unto him. The place and the people therein were the happiest of all in Elisha's selection to serve Elijah.
As believers, we should also be ready to sacrifice our precious time and money in serving God by preaching the word of God with our living testimony in and around our place. We being believers, the people abundantly should rejoice, feasting lavishly on the word that we ought to preach to them. The blanket having fallen on us we have to sow the word of God. Otherwise, we are not loyal to Him that has cast it. We should thus prayerfully flood our country with the Word and win souls for Jesus Christ who would make it bear luxuriant fruits or else be prepared to stand before the Throne, on judgment Day in shame, dishonor, humiliation and disgrace. – Amen.

Danube Virtual Museum > Serbia > Cultural Heritage > Fortresses > Bač Fortress
Bač Fortress
The fortress in Bač is the most important and best preserved medieval fortress in Vojvodina. The site where the fortress is built testifies to centuries long use of this naturally tenable ground which tied its fate to the Danube River - a natural border between nations and civilizations.
Very rich Avar necropoli were recorded in the surroundings Bač. In the Salzburg chronicle from 873 there is a reference to the areas between the Danube and the Tisa, settled by the Slavs, Avars, Huns, and the fact that the fortress was held by the Avars. It still has not become clear about the presence and role of the Slavs and barbarian colonization, nor the continuity of the early church organization established in this area.
The arrival of the Hungarians in the Pannonian Plain in 896 set new relations and in subsequent centuries Bač became an important historical place, often in the possession of the Hungarian kings. Together with Kaloč, it was the seat of the archdiocese, a popular entertainment venue visited by many European rulers. Since it was located on the southern border of Hungary it was administered under the authority of the Byzantine Empire. There was also cooperation and conflict with Serbia in the period of Nemanjić family. Especially significant was the role of Bač in the defense of Western Europe from the advance of the Turks.
Hungarians found the fortress earthy while Anonimus called it "old". During the mid-twelfth century Bač was so significant that the Arab geographer Idrizi in 1154 marked it in Roger's map of the world the "Geography" – a book that tracks maps. There Idrizi wrote: " Bač is a glorious place included among other big towns. There are markets, trade shops, many artisans and Greek scientists ... Wheat is cheap however, as it can be found in abundance ... Bač and Kovin are very large export populated towns. They are the main towns of the Hungarian country with the majority of buildings. People live in the greatest abundance on the largest rural properties.
The period between 1338 and 1342, when king Charles Robert Anjou strengthened the border of the kingdom, is connected with the formation of a part of today's fortress. This is the time of the rise of Emperor Dušan and the Serbian - Hungarian wars, as King Charles mentioned in a letter as a threat and the reason for undertaking the work on the fortress in Bač. The strengthening and upgrading of the fort lasted for almost two centuries. Work on strengthening and adapting the fortress to new military and engineering requirements was led by archbishops who were often prefects. Efforts of Peter Varadi II, a humanist, scholar and art lover who rounded architectural oeuvre and deepened defense water trenches around the fort in the period between 1495 and 1501 are recorded. In one of the letters sent from Bač, the Archbishop wrote: "We can enjoy the purest Danube water, and if Narcissus were alive, he would be able to enjoy looking at this image in the water!" Last reconstruction, before the Ottoman rule, was during the time of Father Paul Tomori (1523 – 1526). The defensive system was then completed and could look as follows.
Suburbium of the fortress, surrounded by palisades, was located on a naturally elevated terrain formed by the meandering of the river Mostonga, in the direction of east to west. The town was entered by bridge and through the front gate of the tower. In the northwestern part of the meander, there was a fortified castle located on the island. The castle could be reached by passing through a separated barbican surrounded by water from all sides. The plateau where the fortress is built is relatively small in size and covers an area of 8,700 m2. The basis of the fortress, measuring 5,600 m2, has a trapezoid shape adjusted to the terrain. There were five protruding defence towers with firing lanes on the corners connected by a 2.5 m wide and 12 m high rampart. The towers were different shapes and sizes. Three corner towers have a circular base open towards the inner space, while the northwest tower and the tower with an entrance gate had a rectangular base. The eastern part of the fortress was best defended, since there was a defensive - donjon tower with a residential palace, a well and a cistern. Buildings for different purposes leant against the inner side of ramparts - palaces, economic structures along the western rampart and a number of grain pits. All the buildings were constructed of brick with stone used for decorative elements.
On the outside, the fortress looked well-fortified, powerful, beautifully shaped and dominated the fertile plains of Bačka. A circular tower with balconies on stone consoles was drawing special attention. A tower with a Gothic chapel on the first floor stood out inside the fortress, as well as the donjon tower - the most dominant object of the fortress. The donjon tower had a regular square base and was oriented diagonally to the sides of the world, with a separate spiral staircase in the north-western façade and protruding toilets on the northeast facade. Palaces were adorned with terracotta elements made in the spirit of the early Italian Renaissance.
The first time Bаč fell into Turkish hands was in 1526 after the Battle of Mohač when the Turkish army was led by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The role of the Serbian "Emperor" Jovan Nenad, who won Bаč back in 1527, was noted as well as the fact that after his death, Serbian despot Stefan Berislavić tried to strengthen the defense system in this part of the Danube. Turks finally occupied Bačka fortress in 1529, but the government was established after 14 years. In the long period of Turkish domination the fortress was in deep behind with small crew. Extensive mobile material evidence found in archaeological excavations in silos testify to the intensive use of the fortress. Valuable information about Bač, the fortress and the suburbium was left by Evliya Çelebi. During a visit to Bač in 1665, among other things he noted this: "It's a great fortress on a lake that receives water from the Danube; it has a rectangular shape and it is made of brick ... In this town there is another big tower – a real cosmorama facing the lake. There is a wonderful rest area like the emperor's. It's a castle as beautiful as Havernek where all enlightened and sincere friends of the town meet to relax and have fun".
Judging by documents and old engravings, the town did not suffer severe damage during the liberation from the Turks in 1686. However, the big changes that followed did not benefit Bačka or many other medieval fortresses!
During the Rakocije uprising Bač suffered heavy losses and the fortress was destroyed several times by fire while passing from Kuruc rule to the Habsburg imperial army, and vice versa. After being blasted in 1704, the fortress was abandoned. Being unable to be used for defense, the fortress began to live a new life – as a glorious ruin. It was especially interesting to treasure seekers and those who were taking brick and stone for almost two and a half centuries.
The fortress also attracted the attention of researchers. Within the collapsed walls original medieval forms important for understanding architecture and life remained. Therefore, the fact that it was no longer expanded nor rebuilt in order to adjust to the military technology development contributed to its importance as a piece of cultural heritage.
In 1948, the fortress in Bač got the status of a cultural monument, which has stopped further deterioration and removal of materials and opened the way to an organized care for its preservation.
Even the researches back in the 19th century pointed to the value of the fortress in Bač. The first organized excavations were conducted by Imre Henzlman in 1870 and 1872, leaving valuable texts illustrated with drawings of the fortress and archaeological material. He also made proposals for the ideal reconstruction of certain buildings. In 1939 Rudolf Schmidt and Đurđe Bošković published an extensive work that draws attention to the values and characteristics of Bačka fortress.
The area of the former suburbium, which begins with a gate tower and ends with a fortified castle, had a somewhat different fate to the fortress which was declared a cultural monument. In the mid 60s of the 20th century, a canal was dug and a whole remained without water trenches and fortresses without a water mirror. The street in the historic suburb lost connection with Bač. Old houses have changed authentic forms and materials over time. Long did the process of determining the value of the whole, and that process is still going on, although in the meantime the fortress, together with a suburbium, has been declared a cultural and historic unity of great significance for the Republic of Serbia.

In order to become a fixed income manager, it is important that you have an aptitude for math and finance. In some cases, a secondary education or post-secondary level of education is required in order to be considered a viable candidate for a fixed income manager position. Most candidates also need to have a resume that shows they have experience working with investment strategies. Finally, you can expect to go through a job interview process as you move toward a position as a fixed income manager.
A fixed income manager is a professional who works with clients who would like to see strong returns on their fixed income investments. A fixed income investment is an investment that promises a regular return. This type of investment includes, for example, loans made to borrowers who are reequired to pay a certain amount of monthly interest. Pensions, bonds, and asset-backed securities are other examples of fixed income investments.
To become a fixed income manager, it helps to have a strong background in finance, math, and data analysis. A fixed income manager may also research various markets and the projections of economists. This means that strong research skills are an asset for those interested in entering the fixed income management profession.
You will find that there are various levels of education required in order to become a fixed income manager. Some employers would like to see candidates who have at least a secondary education, while others are seeking those with graduate degrees. Many employers in this field are more concerned with a job candidate's experience with managing a fixed income portfolio or with asset management than with their level of education.
The resume can be an important step for anyone who would like to become a fixed income manager. While there are different methods for organizing a resume, most methods recommend that job applicants focus on skills and instances of experience related to the jobs for which they are applying. In this case, experience and skills related to investment strategies, business math, research, and data analysis should be prioritized.
During the interview process, applicants can prepare by learning about the fixed income management companies to which they are applying. Interviewers will normally be impressed by interviewees who can relate their answers specifically to the company for which they hope to work. In order to do this, you will want to find out about the strengths of the company. If there is a job description, it might be helpful to be familiar with the listed duties and responsibilities.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Vanilla Air Safety Management System
Safety Promotion Committee
The General Safety Promotion Committee, which meets monthly, is the highest decision-making body in the Vanilla Air Safety Management System. Managers and representatives of all departments meet to exchange and discuss everyday flight safety.
Each meeting opens with all members reciting the safety principles together, as every attendee takes the importance of flight safety to heart.
Risk Management
Safety Risk Management Meeting
Monthly Safety Risk Management Meetings (for preventive action/recurrence prevention) are held to identify latent hazards that could cause an accident or incident, evaluate the risks thereof, and reduce them to an acceptable level.
The Committee is made up of impartial and unbiased risk assessors from each department, who establish the facts objectively and form their judgments on the basis of what is best from an inter-departmental standpoint.
Another mechanism for preventing accidents and incidents is our Spontaneous Reporting System, where information on near misses is actively sought from all members of staff engaged in the operation of Vanilla Air (our own employees and contractors).

Re: Elementary questions
The Elementary section becomes an easy choice for many members, rather than to take effort to look over the sections and decide which is the proper choice to post their question (even if the topic isn't elementary). Sometimes a moderator moves the thread, and sometimes a moderator issues a notification or infraction.
When starting a thread we advise anyone to post in a section which relates to your topic. All forums at Edaboard are described on the home page. The aim is to place your question where readers who are knowledgeable about your topic can spot your question, and thus you're more likely to get assistance.

How you breathe is important. Not only does it keep you alive, your breath connects to your state of mind, and your state of mind is critical to your health.
