A Plan To Restore Free Speech On Campus
The slowly metastasizing assault on free speech that has played out on American college campuses since the 1960s has reached a crisis point. What's needed is a concrete plan to restore liberty of thought and discussion to the American academy — a plan capable of focusing the support of sympathetic students, faculty, parents, alumni, administrators, trustees, and citizens, and their elected representatives.
Marxist Spirit Underpins Campus Protests
The latest rounds of student rage over alleged racial discrimination—and the subsequent administrative acquiescence to student demands—at American universities should come as no surprise.

Local officials recently gathered to discuss crime in Wisconsin, in particular, those that occur in Eau Claire. Seeing as data shows a 17 percent increase of drug crimes between 2016 and 2017, residents may be more at risk for legal problems if they find themselves in the wrong places at the wrong times. Since every arrest does not lead to conviction, it is also wise to learn where to seek support if a problem arises to obtain help in building a strong defense to try to preserve one's freedom.
A local police chief who spoke at the recent meeting said the overall crime rate in Eau Claire has risen approximately 35 percent in the past five years. He said officials believe the rising crime rate is directly connected to an area substance-abuse problem. It was also noted that methamphetamine seems to be a particularly problematic issue regarding drug arrests in the area.
Many say the criminal justice system needs to provide more forms of support for those trying to beat addictions by including alternate forms of sentencing that focus on rehabilitation rather than incarceration. It is also important for those facing criminal charges to know exactly what type of defense options are available. There are often strategies available to help counteract prosecutors' tactics that may be aggressively used to try to obtain convictions.
Thousands of people in Wisconsin currently suffer from drug addiction, and many are currently doing their best to overcome their problems through various licensed programs throughout the state. Those who are facing charges related to alleged drug crimes can also tap into local support resources. There are support networks already in place that provide experienced legal representation to help defendants try to avoid conviction.

The 2017 Honda Civic Sedan Is The Most Sophisticated One YetBlog Feb 28th, 2017
For Honda, the Civic is a one of the most popular sedans available. Its iconic shape, size and performance makes it stand out from other sedans in its class. The 2017 Honda Civic is no different, and in this article we are going to cover the exterior, interior and features that make it a vehicle well worth your money.
The 2017 Civic features aggressive lines refined features that make the car stand out. Its sleek profile and long wheelbase makes this Civic Sedan a sporty vehicle, even at standstill. The Civic Sedan Touring features all-LED headlights that light up the road and make it a clear and safe drive. With "C"-shaped LED taillights, applying brakes will add to the style and shape that is uniquely Civic. On top of that, the wide and aggressive stance from the rear shows others that you are ready to hit the gas pedal.
Civic Interior
With a grown up interior, this Civic is the most comfortable and sophisticated interior yet. The cabin layout was inspired by a cockpit, giving you the feeling of taking off while on the road. A design-centric instrument panel features a single-level display that's easy to read so you can spend less time looking for pertinent information and more time watching the road and scenery. An Electric Parking Brake is available that activates with the lift of a finger in a well placed position, rather than a lever that juts out of the panel. With three cloth and three leather interior cockpits offered, you can decide which suits your preferences. Along with heated seats, an 8-way power driver's seat and luxurious details within the cabin, you'll find an extremely comfortable driving experience awaits.
Civic Features
With up to 174 horsepower, a fully independent suspension and two choices of transmissions, the Civic Sedan was engineered with performance in mind. The Civic Sedan comes standard with a 158-horsepower, 2.0-liter engine that earns an EPA 40 MPG highway rating, keeping your wallet full. On the inside, features include a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, Honda LaneWatch, an accessory wireless charging mat and a USB Audio Interface.
The 2017 Honda Civic Sedan is clearly no slouch, as its exterior, interior and features make it stand out from the rest of the competition.

"I have spent much of my life on one diet or another and this is the first programme that has really made a long term difference. I have stopped yo-yo-ing up and down and I have finally managed to stabilise. My weight is pretty much at the same level that it was at the end of my plan and that was nearly two years ago - that's what I call a result!"

I was fed up with being tired, living an unhealthy lifestyle and struggling to deal with the everyday stresses that life brings us. Then I found Monica, a qualified nutritionist and lifestyle guru, who helped me change my whole way of thinking about my lifestyle. Monica encouraged and supported me throughout my journey, in fact she walked the journey with me. Her insight into my condition was simply amazing. Her knowledge and understanding of the direction I needed to take was exceptional. In five months I feel so much better, I have got my zest for life back and I have the added bonus of losing an amazing amount of weight in a healthy way, all of which wouldn't have been possible without Monica's support and help. Monica is simply superb and would I recommend her to someone else – absolutely in a heartbeat.
Group therapy takes many forms. The groups are variously referred to (often interchangeably) as London counseling groups, London support groups, London mutual support groups or peer support groups, self help groups, stress coping groups, workshops and mental health groups. They are moderated by a professional group counselor, group therapist or group psychologist and generally focus on a specific issue or client profile (e.g. men or women etc).
Sustained weight loss for patients who are morbidly obese—usually defined as being 100 pounds or more over ideal body weight or having a body mass index of 40 or higher—is even harder to achieve. And serious health risks have been identified for people who move from diet to diet, subjecting their bodies to a severe and continuing cycle of weight loss and gain known as "yo-yo dieting."
A: The clinically-proven UltraShape procedure is the most widely used non-invasive solution for fat reduction and body contouring. It uses focused ultrasound to target and reduce unwanted localized fat deposits, reduce body circumference and improve body shape. The UltraShape procedure is intended to help average to modestly overweight men and women reduce localized fat deposits around the abdomen, flanks (love handles), hips and thighs. It offers a totally non-invasive, painless no downtime alternative to patients seeking reduced circumference (a slimmer body) and an improved body contour. UltraShape involves no incisions, needles, injections, recovery time or maintenance treatments whatsoever. UltraShape is an ideal non-surgical procedure that enables men and women to improve their figure, go down in clothing size, and improve the shape in problem fatty areas that regular diet and exercise usually don't get rid of.
There's so much information around about obesity and most people are somewhat informed of the health risk that are associated with the condition. That wealth of information should conjour up a healthy reaction in most people to want to act positively to reducing their weight in a safe and controlled manner. That's where our Weight Loss Clinic London Bridge, Southwark can help. We provide our all our new patients with a FREE consultation with a medical weight loss doctor.
Eating healthily will become something you want to do instead of a sacrifice – by learning to value yourself and your body at a whole new level you will want to make sure that you are filling it with high quality fuel. You'll discover how to balance treats and indulgences with a much healthier overall diet that helps to improve and maintain your health and energy levels without depriving you of all of the foods you love.
Some patients have a need for other consultations (for example, with a consultant psychiatrist/ full course of psychological therapy, or a sleep apnoea consultant), or may require blood tests, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, or overnight sleep oximetry; these would all be separately charged. If a patient requires more frequent support or help – including additional consultations or weekly support, these will be charged in separately.
Our diet clinics are staffed with obesity specialists that will help you lose those extra pounds safely and effectively. If you've tried to lose weight in the past then drop in to our slimming clinics London Bridge, Southwark for a helping hand getting back on track and start reaching those slimming goals straight away. With diet, nutrition and weight management advice we are certain you will not be disappointed when you visit our weight loss clinic London Bridge – Southwark!
The London Obesity Practice at the London Bridge Hospital is pleased to announce the launch of an innovative obesity therapy aimed at patients with a BMI of 30+. The therapy focuses on healthy eating habits and portion control and consists of 2 parts. Firstly, an intra-gastric balloon, known as the ReShape Duo, is inserted endoscopically in an outpatient procedure, and remains in the stomach for a 6 month period, occupying space in the stomach making the patient feel full. Secondly, the patient is supported by a dietician for the 6 months while the balloon is in place and given advice on portion control and support to develop healthy lifestyle habits.
A: Each patient follows a personalized program and undergoes a recommended series of one to three treatments in order to maximize results. Clinical studies have shown a measurable reduction in body circumference in most patients, even after a single treatment. The series of treatments is performed in one-month intervals, giving time for the body's natural metabolic processes to safely clear away the destroyed fat cells. During these intervals, patients can treat other areas of the body and undergo other complementary procedures.
You cannot spot reduce! Weight loss results from an energy deficit; burning more calories than you take in. Aerobic exercise will help create this energy deficit. Genetics and gender play a role in where we store excess fat and where it comes off first. Abdominal exercises will tighten and tone the abdominals but will not directly affect the layer of abdominal adipose.
Jenny - the founder of Jenny Janes Beauty - has a bubbly, easygoing personality that is instantly engaging and reassuring. She consults with you during each stage of treatment in order to ensure complete understanding of the process, as well as allowing her to accommodate any special requests. Jane is passionate about providing a thorough and precise service, using her wealth of knowledge and experience to produce immediate benefits and satisfying results.

Coherent Processing with Frequency Agility
- Authors
- Corporate Authors
- Defence R&D Canada - Ottawa, Ottawa ONT (CAN)
- Abstract
- For conventional pulse-Doppler radars, the frequency of the radar must remain constant over the coherent integration time. For a high-frequency surface-wave radar, the coherent integration time can be as long as several minutes. This means that the radar must be permitted to transmit in a particular frequency channel for several minutes. This presents a problem when there is a requirement for the radar to switch to another frequency whenever there are other users in the radar band. In this memorandum, an analysis is carried out to explore means to maintain coherent integration gain while operating in a frequency-agility mode.

A Look at Country Music's Newest Shaniah
Fresh Pop Country Vocals
Shaniah Paige is an emerging young singer from Illinois who was immersed in music at a young age, and, of course, named after Shania Twain. Her accolades include being named "Fresh New Face of Country Music" by Renegade Radio Nashville and performing at CMA Fest. She has also opened for Stella Parton, Granger Smith, Love and Theft, and Morgan Wallen. A rising star, Shaniah got serious about her country music career at the age of 15, according to her bio. Her catchy tunes have been compared to early Taylor Swift and she definitely has the chops to make a big name for herself.
With a new EP coming out in late February, now is a good time to introduce yourself to Shaniah's lovelorn tunes that will strike a chord in your heart no matter how old or young you are. A couple of her recent singles are available on Soundcloud and are worth a listen. Whether you're a fan of country music or pop tunes or both, you'll enjoy these songs.
"Darlin Karlen" sounds like a tormented love song. I'm rewatching the first season of 90s Dawson's Creek right now and the lyrics of this song remind me of the Joey/Dawson/Jen love triangle in that first season. In this scenario, Shaniah is Joey and Karlen is Jen. The girl this song is about (whether it's actually a personal story from the singer or not) seems to have not expressed her feelings soon enough to her friend before he moves onto a new romance. It happens…
This premise definitely makes "Darlin Karlen" a sad love song. What is not sad about this song are Shaniah's vocals. She sounds great and has a nice vocal range. Her sound is smooth, the music is country with the tiniest bit of pop. Definitely a potential crossover artist, you can still hear the country in this girl's roots.
"Alice In Wonderland" is just what it sounds like—a song somewhat inspired by the story of Alice In Wonderland. Combining lyrics about a broken relationship with tidbits from the fairytale, this song is definitely fun to listen to (even though it's not about anything fun at all). Some of my favorite parts include:
"Maybe it's your big blue eyes that make a cat laugh through the night"
"You're late, you're late, for your very special date" (This one is part of the chorus)
"Drink the poison so you'll shrink"
"Get your Mad Hatter in control"
This song is pretty cool for many reasons. For one thing, you just can't go wrong with a song that has the words "Mad Hatter" in the lyrics. I feel like this one has even more of a pop sound but still has a country feel to it. It's a quirky song and Shaniah's voice makes it a song you'll feel compelled to keep listening to.
I like that her songs seem to fit her age range. This isn't a teenager singing about adult subjects, even though both of these songs are essentially about love triangles. Those things do happen in high school, too.
Shaniah Paige is an amazingly talented young performer, and with songs like these, there's no way she won't just continue to grow and become even more amazing and talented. This is no Britney Spears pop music heading for a breakdown. Being compared to Taylor Swift is definitely a spot-on comparison, in the song lyrics, music style, and in the talent range as well.
Again, she has a new EP coming out soon, which will be a must-have for country music fans, young and old. Keep up with what's going on in this talented young singer's life by following her on Facebook.

WASHINGTON—Judicial Watch lawyers scored a victory against Hillary Clinton Friday when a federal judge ordered Clinton to provide sworn answers to written questions about her email scandal, though the judge denied the watchdog group's request for the Democratic nominee to be compelled to provide verbal answers in a deposition.
This represents the next stage of Judicial Watch's litigation in the D.C.-based federal district court to uncover all the facts related to Clinton's use of a private home-brew email server while she was serving as Barack Obama's secretary of state. District Judge Emmett Sullivan granted one of Judicial Watch's discovery requests to force Clinton to personally answer questions under oath.
Discovery is the legal term for requiring the other party in a lawsuit to provide information. There are three basic types of discovery: depositions, interrogatories, and requests to produce documents. Judicial Watch requested that Clinton sit for a deposition.
Depositions are when an individual is placed under oath, then verbally asked questions, to which the person must immediately provide verbal responses. The person giving the responses (called a "deponent") can have a lawyer present during questioning, but generally must answer the questions put to them. A stenographer records every word spoken, and depositions are frequently videotaped as well.
The judge denied that request, but granted the conservative group's separate request for interrogatories, the legal term for written questions that the other side must answer in writing. This will give Clinton several weeks to work with her lawyers to carefully craft her responses in an effort to avoid a "smoking gun" moment, but they are still answers given under oath.
Sullivan's approach here is reasonable. Depositions and interrogatories are both under oath, so if Clinton lies, it's perjury either way. The judge is doubtless sensitive to the fact that allowing videotaped depositions would instantly translate to political attack ads. He's trying to keep the case from becoming a media circus, but still moving the litigation forward into dangerous territory for Clinton.
The court is giving Judicial Watch until Oct. 14 to submit its questions to Clinton, which would mean that her responses would not be due until after the election. Judicial Watch is expected to pose its questions much sooner, however, ensuring that Clinton's own words will become part of the campaign narrative before Americans go to the polls.

The Faubourg Nature: A New Neighbourhood in the heart of Cowansville.
By choosing the Faubourg Nature, you're making quality of life a priority.
A Green Neighbourhood
The Faubourg Nature is bordered on both sides by the Morgan Reserve, a nature reserve of approximately 150 000 square meters (about 1.6 million square feet) that we created and subsequently donated to the City of Cowansville. Of great ecological value, the Morgan Reserve is protected in perpetuity. Moreover, the urban park François Tanguay is located directly outside the entrance of the Faubourg Nature site. These parks are the lungs of our neighbourhood and they ensure a high quality environment. You can visit these green spaces through the safe walking paths they offer.
Several lots are adjacent to these conservation areas. You'll never have neighbours to the back of your yard and are therefore ensured privacy. You'll be in daily contact with the beauty of nature. You never know, you may see a deer, small animal or one of the bird species that populates the reserve.
Near the Faubourg Nature, you will find Cowansville's Nature Center along Davignon Lake which offers, among other things, a beach, sports fields, picnic areas, trails and various water sport opportunities.
A little further away, you can enjoy all the green attractions of our region. Whether you want to visit a winery on the Wine Route, go mountain hiking or skiing, it's all possible. The choice is yours, and is all within 30 a minute drive from the Faubourg Nature.
A Safe Neighbourhood
The Faubourg Nature provides a feeling of security as soon as you enter the property. Several new features have been added to our plans that will make our neighbourhood even safer. For example, there is only one entrance into the Faubourg Nature - see the plans. The entry on Lauder Street, between Ontario and Brown, offers a distinct signaling Boulevard which facilitates two-way traffic. This single access keeps the circulation local and down to a minimum. The neighbourhood also has reassuring street lighting that nicely compliments residential lighting. Your new neighbourhood will be both intimate and distinct, fostering reassuring, community ties.
Finally, the Faubourg Nature is less than 5 minutes from The Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital and the Cowansville CLSC.
A Flexible Neighbourhood
When we created the Faubourg Nature, we wanted to offer a quality, flexible living environment. Our project includes lots reserved for various desires and needs. Therefore, we have lots available for the following types of residences:
- One-storey, single-family
- Two-storey, single-family
- Multifamily (condominiums)
What's more, you can choose your builder from among our partners who will be happy to attend to the various details of your project.

At a time when U.S. unemployment remains high, TransCanada Keystone $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline is being pushed by supporters on claims that it will create much-needed jobs. But environmentalists oppose the project and it still hasn't been approved by the U.S. Department of State.
The past two weeks have seen business and environmental risks around the world. Here is the map of emerging risks and article on the Keystone XL pipeline risk via Maplecroft:
On October 7 2011, hundreds of supporters and opponents testified at a public hearing held by the US Department of State over the Keystone XL pipeline. This follows the arrests in August and September of more than 1,250 opposition protestors outside the White House. The decision on the pipeline has emerged as a defining political moment for the Obama administration.
The Obama administration is faced with a difficult task as conflicting economic, environmental and political factors must all be taken into account in deciding whether the Keystone XL pipeline is in the national interest.
Set against an increasingly bleak economic outlook and unemployment hovering around 9%, the Keystone pipeline could - according to project proponents TransCanada - directly generate as many as 20,000 high-wage jobs and contribute more than $20bn to the US economy at no cost to the public purse. With their members set to benefit from such a massive infrastructure investment, influential trade unions such as the Teamsters are standing alongside the energy industry in their support for the pipeline.
Environmental impacts are a key area of debate, particularly following recent high profile oil spills and ongoing concerns over climate change. Groups such as the Nebraska Farmers Union and First Nations representatives feel that local impacts have been missed, while there is a growing environmental movement protesting the significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that would result from the extraction and burning of the crude oil transported by the pipeline.
Finally, opportunities to strengthen energy security in the US have often been linked to environmentally beneficial renewable technologies such as wind, solar and biomass. However, Keystone has been billed as the solution to US dependence on imported oil. Hilary Clinton, indicating support for the pipeline, was widely quoted in mainstream press as stating, "we're either going to be dependent on dirty oil from the Gulf or dirty oil from Canada […]".
The national interest and US environmentalism
The striking feature of these debates is not the merits of individual positions but how polarised and political these positions have become. As there is no specific formula for determining what the national interest is, the outcome can be taken as a bellwether on the trajectory of US environmental regulation.
Concerns over the potential environmental impacts focus on local and global issues, raising a mixture of technical, procedural and ethical questions. Due to the trans-boundary nature of the pipeline the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for the project were led by the Department of State rather than the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EIA controversially found that there would be 'limited adverse environmental impacts' from the pipeline. These were quickly challenged by the EPA who described the EIAs as 'inadequate'. Concerns were also raised over the possible conflict of interest on the part of the company commissioned to carry out the EIA due to a financial interest in the outcome of the project. However, this has been rejected by the Department of State.
Additionally, several high profile oil accidents support calls to halt the pipeline due to the risk of spills. Examples include the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, a spill into the Yellowstone River in 2011, and more than a dozen spills from another Keystone pipeline during its first 12 months in operation.
Opposition arguments based on the project's climate change impacts are particularly credible. James E. Hansen, head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, determined that because of the pipeline so much GHGs would be released that it would be impossible to avoid disastrous impacts from climate change. This is partially due to the vast amount of oil locked in the sands and because GHG emissions from tar sands are approximately 82% higher than conventional oil. The EPA estimates that the extra GHG emissions from the project may range from 600 million to 1.15bn tons CO2-equivalent.
Environmental arguments against the pipeline are robust, defensible and supported by a number of interest groups. Their rejection would therefore constitute a serious blow to US environmentalism and strongly indicate a shift towards a more growth-oriented, business-friendly regulatory climate.
Despite the environmental arguments it seems likely that the Keystone XL pipeline will be approved. It has the strong support of the Canadian government and implicit backing of the US administration alongside powerful energy and union interests. With a Republican in the White House the outcome would almost be a foregone conclusion but with a sitting Democrat it is marginally less so. Three contextual factors associated with the principal arguments may tip the balance towards its approval.
First, Obama's poll numbers are sinking and the weak economy is a major reason why. The next presidential election will take place in November 2012 and with jobs likely to be a key issue the pipeline's contribution towards employment and state finances makes it particularly appealing. The dire state of the US and Western world economies only serves to strengthen the pipeline's case.
Second, arguments for climate change carry little weight in the United States. Domestically the public is losing interest in the subject. According to a survey by the Pew Research Centre, only 35% of Americans see global warming "as a very serious problem". Internationally, with little momentum behind developing a legally binding international agreement to replace the Kyoto Accord, there is minimal pressure on the US to take decisive leadership on the issue.
Third, there are long-standing fears within the US over its energy security, particularly its dependence on Middle Eastern and some Latin American producers. Additionally, there are concerns that if Canada's oil is not transported to the US then it will be taken instead by China and used to support its own economy.
Keystone's approval would re-affirm the importance of economic growth and energy security over the environment and climate change. This would also be consistent with several recent US policy decisions degrading protection of the environment. However, the rejection of the project would provide a shock to American and international environmental politics and could signal a strong shift towards more stringent environmental regulation.
