Alexander the Great was the king of Macedonia, conqueror of the Persian Empire, and one of the greatest military geniuses of all times. Even at an early age, Alexander had the promise to become a great leader. Through all his victories and conquests, he has become a great hero and has had a large impact on history. That is why I chose he book Alexander the Great, by J.R. Hamilton for my review. Hamilton does a very good job with the story of Alexander the Great.
The book begins by talking about the Macedonian homeland and the make up of the people, their culture. Alexander was born in 356 BC in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia he was the son of Philip II, king of Macedonia, and of Olympias, a princess of Epirus. After discussing his parents and their relationship, Hamilton talks about how Aristotle was Alexander's tutor from age 13 to 16 and stimulated his interest in science, medicine, and philosophy. The book then talks about how well prepared Alexander was to take over the throne. Then, in the summer of 336 BC Philip was assassinated, and Alexander took over the Macedonian throne.
Hamilton does a very good and descriptive job of how Alexander soon showed his power when the large city of Thebes revolted in 335. Alexander stormed the city with mighty force and took 30,000 people as slaves. An important point the book discussesnext is when Alexander begins...

Essay on The Rise Of Alexander The Great
- "There is nothing impossible to him who will try." (Alexander The Great) If anything, this quote from Alexander perfectly sums up his life.

Although born in Greece in 356 BC, he comes from the state of Macedonia just north of Greece. Alexander eventually commanded a highly mobile armed force with the help of advanced military technologies for his time. The rise for Alexander was not an easy one....

John Theo Jr. received a bachelor's degree in psychology from Salem State University, and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. For almost two decades his diverse writing portfolio included roles as a movie critic, a magazine freelance writer, and a college professor where he taught screenwriting.
John grew up in the suburbs north of Boston where much of his youth was spent buried under stacks of comic books. He latched onto any story involving far off places and fantastical characters. Years later he realized the novels and movies that impacted him on the deepest level were ones with a spiritual component. In hindsight, he realized that his youthful obsession with these stories was, in fact, a longing for the Divine.
Today, John Theo Jr. writes novels from a Christian perspective. Like the stories of his youth, John enjoys tales with an otherworldly component to them as well as a good measure of action, adventure, and romance.
We are here for a blink of an eye and then gone. A true "Happily Ever After" in fiction stories, and in life, is only attained with an eternal perspective, and the hope that we have in Jesus.

Republicans blast Obama in opening big debate
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Republican White House hopefuls criticized President Barack Obama's handling of the economy from the opening moments of their first major debate of the campaign season Monday night and pledged emphatically to repeal the administration's year-old health care law.
"When 14 million Americans are out of work we need a new president to end the Obama Depression," said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the first among seven contenders on stage to assail the president's economic policies.
Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, invited as an unannounced contender for the 2012 nomination, used the occasion to announce she had filed papers earlier in the day to run -- a disclosure in keeping with a feisty style she has employed since her election to Congress.
Obama was hundreds of miles away, vowing to continue his efforts to create jobs as the Republicans met on a stage at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum accused Obama of pursuing "oppressive policies" that have shackled the economy.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty labeled Obama a "declinist" who views America "as one of equals around the world," rather than a special nation.
"If Brazil can have 5 percent growth, if China can have 5 percent growth, then America can have 5 percent growth," he added, shrugging off criticism that his own economic projections were impossibly rosy.
Businessman Herman Cain, a political novice, called for eliminating the capital gains tax as a way to stimulate job creation.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stressed his experience as a businessman over 25 years as evidence that he can lead the nation out of a lingering recession.
Said Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the seventh contender on the stage: "As long as we are running a program that deliberately weakens our currency, our jobs will go overseas. And that's what's happening."
Romney was the nominal front-runner. But the public opinion polls that made him so are notoriously unreliable at this point in the campaign, when relatively few voters have begun to familiarize themselves with their choices.
Nor can the polls predict the television commercials as yet un-run, or the other events that make a nominating campaign so unpredictable.
Already, this race has had its share of surprises.
Several likely candidates decided not to run -- Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels among them -- and at least one who ruled out a race is reconsidering. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has said he will decide after the state Legislature completes its current session, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's plans are still unknown.
Gingrich, quick off the mark in attacking Obama, suffered the mass exodus of the entire top echelon of his campaign last week, an unprecedented event that left his chances of winning the nomination in tatters.
And Bachmann -- new to the race -- drew one of the loudest rounds of applause Monday night from a partisan debate audience when she predicted that Obama would not win re-election. He is "a one-term president," she declared.
Obama's rivals found little if anything to like in what he has done since taking office in the midst of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression.
Instead, the most conservative presidential field in memory all but said what Ronald Reagan once preached -- that government was the problem.
Romney said the auto bailout was a mistake, and said more generally, "Instead of thinking in the federal budget what should we cut, we should ask ourselves the opposite question, 'What should we keep?'"
Santorum criticized the financial bailout that Presidents George W. Bush and Obama backed, and Bachmann said she had worked in closed-door meetings in Congress to defeat the legislation when it was originally passed.
Pawlenty said politicians had caused the housing price bubble that contributed to the recession, and Paul blamed the recession on the Federal Reserve.
"As long as we do what we're doing in Washington it's going to last another 10 years," Paul said. "What we're doing now is absolutely wrong," he said of federal programs meant to support the housing industry.

So some Methodist clerk with a delusion of virtue wanders in and left some comments, largely to the effect that I, the metaphysical and epistemological realist with a snarky attitude, am mentally ill or is otherwise depraved. I did not argue with this induhvidual (misspelling deliberate here), I simply explained why such a person should be held in contempt.
Ultimately I dropped the rhetorical sixteen-ton weight on him:
Thus the willing servant of willing servant of tyrants, terrorists, and the Enemies of Mankind in General strikes the pose of righteousness while inoring the screams of the victims of tyranny and terror.
We would of course be remiss if we did not point out that hate is an emotional response to the recognition of the fact that one is in some way in the presence of evil. And in this case I mean willful, deliberate, evil.
We should not be surprised that this willing servant of tyrants, terrorists, and the Enemies of Mankind in General would claim that hatred of evil is evil. This is simply another contradiction given voice by a willfully depraved creature whose only claim to the title of Human is its physical form.
We could say that a peace activist is the political equivalent of the depraved bystander who tells a women who is being raped that she should "lay back and enjoy it", but that would be an undeserved compliment.
We could say that killing a peace activist is no more an act of murder than putting down a rabid animal, but that would be an insult to rabid animals.
I will say that killing a peace activist is an act of defense, of one's self, of one's family, of one's nation, and of Humanity in General.
Unlike the aforementioned willfully depraved creature, I've had a long and tiresome day doing productive work, and I will (have) nothing more to say on this subject today.
Needless to say, when it comes to stating the truth I'm not a nice guy. But I did have some issues with copy editing back then. (I have a lot more to say on the subject of peace activism here.)
Out of curiosity I followed the link back to his blog today and found that he is still around and still an epistemological and ethical moron. (As a point of courtesy I'll leave a link to the idiot here.)
During this process a thought occurred (No, it didn't hurt. (Smile)). A question came to my mind.
Would this idiot, in a display of moral posturing, stand between a former state leader condemned to death for mass murder and the firing squad?
Somehow I strongly suspect that this, and lot a of other moral frauds wouldn't. But if I were in charge of the firing squad I would give the order to fire, followed by the order to reload.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?

FLORIDA – At least eight nursing home residents have died in Hollywood, Florida, according to a statement by city officials.
The deaths may be due to the loss of the home's air-conditioning after Hurricane Irma struck Sunday, according to CNN affiliate WPLG. The causes of death are still being investigated, Hollywood Police Chief Tomas Sanchez said.
"We are conducting a criminal investigation (and) not ruling anything out at this time," Sanchez said at a press conference Wednesday.
A statement from the nursing home, the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, confirmed that it had a "prolonged power failure to the transformer which powered the facility's air conditioning system as a result of the hurricane."
Temperatures reached into the 90s Tuesday and Wednesday in Hollywood.
"I am going to aggressively demand answers on how this tragic event took place," Florida Governor Rick Scott said in a statement.
"If they find that this facility was not meeting the state's high standards of care, they will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law," Scott's statement said.
The facility reported yesterday that its fans and spot coolers were in working order, and that it had power, according to the statement.
"Parts of the facility itself were energized" by Florida Power and Light, according to the company's communications director, Rob Gould. "Can't give you anything more specific than that at this point."
Hospital administrators were told to dial 911 if they believed anyone was at risk, the governor's statement said.
The nursing home has had a list of safety violations and citations, including two for not following generator regulations in 2014 and 2016. In both instances, the nursing home corrected these deficiencies.
The eight dead ranged in age from 71 to 99, authorities said. Four victims died in the nursing home and detectives had to recover one body from a funeral home, city officials said. The Broward County medical examiner has yet to determine whether all eight deaths are heat-related.

KIEWIET, Jacob 1847-1929
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 4/28/2015 at 20:31:58
Jacob Kiewiet, Civil War Veteran, Is Dead
Death Follows Attack of Flu and Pneumonia
Jacob Kiewiet died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Tack, at two o'clock Sunday morning. Two weeks before his death Mr. Kiewiet was taken sick with the flu. Pneumonia developed a week later and this together with his advanced age brought on the end. Mr. Kiewiet's health had been failing gradually since the death of his wife two and a half years ago. He left the house very little during the past six months.
The death of Mr. Kiewiet removes another of the few remaining Civil War veterans of Grundy county. He enlisted in the service of the Union armies in 1864 when he was not yet seventeen years old. His enlistment was at Dixon, Ill. He entered active service and remained in the army until after he received his honorable discharge during the summer of 1865.
Mr. Kiewiet was born in Ostfriesland, Germany, Nov. 23rd, 1847, and he was 81 years, 1 months and 20 days old at the time of his death. He came to this country with his folks when he was ten years of age. The family located on a farm near Forreston, Ill., and he remained at home until he left for enlistment in his adopted country's service. After the close of the war he returned to Forreston. He was married there in 1877 and lived on a farm until he and his family came to Grundy county thirty-eight years ago. Mr. Kiewiet had been here previously and bought a farm in Colfax township, which he retained up to the time of his death. The family moved on this farm when they came here. Later Mr. Kiewiet bought additional land in the same neighborhood until he had acquired 400 acres, which he owned at the time of his death.
Mr. and Mrs. Kiewiet left the farm five years ago and removed to Holland where they lived in retirement until Mrs. Kiewiet's death. Since that time Mr. Kiewiet made his home with his children.
There are four surviving sons and two daughters. The sons are John, Will, Fred and Richard. The daughters are Mrs. William Tack and Mrs. Philip Tack. All of the children except Will, from Buffalo Center, reside in Colfax township.
The many who learned to know Mr.Kiewiet since he came to make his home in Grundy county trusted and respected him. He qualified fully as a high type American citizen and his passing is felt as a personal loss to all who knew him.
Funeral services conducted by Rev. J. E. Drake were held at the Presbyterian church in Colfax township Tuesday afternoon and there was a very large attendance.

Hey Nitromians,
I have had a MEGA list of things to catch up on since returning from my holiday, meaning Mondays Pixelove slightly later than usual, apologies.
This week's Pixelove shunts us WAAAY back to 2006, ah those were the good old days of Browser gaming.
Acid Factory by Miniclip. There has been a huge chemical leak at the factory and its up to our hero Harry to clean it up. Unfortunately for him there is a whole bunch of traps, mutants and well... ACID to deal with in the process!
Fun fact! the artwork for this game was commissioned by Miniclip from the ever so talented artist Gary J Lucken (aka Army of Trolls). Back in the day I really used to stare at his art and drool. Anyway, let me know what you think of Acid Factory in the comments below.
Happy Gaming Everyone!
P.S Next week's Pixelove shouldn't be late as I've already picked on out. ;)

One night they stumble upon a bizarre gathering of sexy teenagers who seem like they are from another planet. In fact, they are from another planet, visiting Earth to complete a mysterious rite of passage.

Together they embark on a delirious adventure through the kinetic punk rock world of 1970s London, inadvertently setting off a series of events that will lead to the ultimate showdown of punks vs. aliens, and test the limits of how far each of them will go for true love.

Mourners Gather for Father Berrigan's Funeral
The funeral of Father Daniel Berrigan was held today Friends and supporters of the famous activist celebrated his life with a peace march- starting at the lower east side and culminating at St Francis Xavier Church at West 16th street. There was a band – people sang and danced while holding signs that read peace and love.
But As Jephie Bernard reports the atmosphere was anything but somber.


text:
The signs were all there
Subtle cues so easily ignored
The phone so fiercely guarded
Answers so casually vague
Working late again today
So busy now with work
Girlfriends not seen for years
Going out for drinks
The dinner cold atop the stove
How come you didn't call?
A new fragrance on the shelf
Places shaved not shaved before
Amazon boxes piling up
New interest in your tan
Sleeping on a different side
Old friends you now avoid
Looking back I see the signs
They stare me in the face
Could it be me not you,
That jeopardized our fate?

This once-drag bungalow is enlivened with a new gable dormer and petite front porch, turning it into a charming summer cottage with a storybook appeal. The design team added a small master suite to the original structure that provides privacy for a lush garden at the back of the house. A sage green picket fence ties in with the exterior trim and adds to the charm.
Soft pastel tiles surround a flickering hearth in the living room of this charming cottage situated at the heart of Jamestown, a small island off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island. Ice blue walls, pale wood flooring and whitewashed millwork are breezy, cool and beachy, reflecting the homeowner's love of the ocean.
Designers wanted to create a traditional, shingle style summer home for the family in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Since the home sits on a rectangular, corner lot, they needed to address both sides of the street, so they added an oversized porch to the front of the home as a nod to the summer cottages that dotted the coastline at the turn of the century. To address the other side of the street, a smaller garage was built. This space adds storage to the home as well as adds a pleasant aesthetic to the home.
The kitchen of this charming Jamestown, Rhode Island, cottage was once dim and closed off, with a narrow window. Post-renovation, it's light, bright and open, with integrated appliances, a petite island and crisp white cabinetry that extends to the ceiling for maximum storage. Hardwood flooring adds to the charm.
Multiple seating areas allow the owners of this charming Jamestown cottage to take advantage of both sunlight and shade. A brick patio takes advantage of this shady lot's one sunny spot with a pair of spring green Adirondack chairs, perfect for morning coffee. Meanwhile, the covered back porch offers an ideal spot for dining al fresco and enjoying the lush back garden view.
The entry to this quaint Jamestown, Rhode Island, cottage is both charming and functional, with a built-in bench that's perfect for stopping to put on or take off shoes. Nautical-style light fixtures hang from the peaked, beamed ceiling. Copious white-painted woodwork fits with the bungalow's East Coast cottage style, giving the home a sense of place from the moment a visitor steps inside.
A complete renovation turned this formerly drab bungalow in the heart of Jamestown, a small island off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, into a charming and functional cottage. The design team added a gabled dormer and covering above the front door, as well as a master suite at the rear. The home's style complements the owner's love of gardening, as well as its East Coast locale.
This bright and breezy master bedroom is an addition to a formerly drab, dated bungalow in Jamestown, a small island off the coast of Rhode Island. The whole-house renovation turned the space into a bright and charming home painted in bright whites and soft blues, reflecting the owner's love of the ocean. In this space, a sitting area leads to a cozy bedroom nook with white furniture and ample light.
This cottage-style master bathroom, an addition that hugs the existing structure of this charming Jamestown, Rhode Island, bungalow, features soft blue walls, white wainscoting and built-in cabinets that flank the mirror. Lighting is installed directly on the mirror inside a built-in niche, adding to the room's cozy ambiance. Nautical-style light fixtures and beadboard paneling are among the many details that tie this room to its location and give it a breezy, coastal vibe.

This viewport overlay displays a user-defined text string in the rendered image. The text can contain placeholders to be replaced with the values of global attributes computed by OVITO's data pipeline. This makes it possible to display dynamic information such as the current simulation timestep, number of atoms, or analysis results in a rendered image or movie.
The lower panel displays the list of available attributes which can be incorporated into the label's text and which will be replaced with their current computed values.
Note that it is possible to define new attributes that are computed on the basis of other attributes by
inserting a Python script modifier into the data pipeline.
Consider for example the
CommonNeighborAnalysis.counts.BCC attribute, which is output by the
Common Neighbor Analysis modifier
to report the number of BCC atoms found. If, instead of the absolute number of BCC atoms, we want to print the
fraction of BCC atoms, we have to divide by the total number of atoms in the system. To this end we can
define a new attribute named bcc_fraction by inserting a Python script modifier:
def modify(frame, input, output): n_bcc = input.attributes['CommonNeighborAnalysis.counts.BCC'] n_total = input.number_of_particles output.attributes['bcc_fraction'] = n_bcc / n_total
This new attribute will subsequently become available in the Text Label overlay as a dynamic variable.

Canada welcomes a new Bishop
Andrew Santos
April 2, 2013
Most Catholics have either attended a wedding or priestly ordination before. But what about an episcopal ordination?
Parishioners and lay faithful will have a front seat ticket, via the internet, to tonight's episcopal ordination inside Sacred Heart Cathedral. The diocese of Prince George will be welcoming Msgr. Stephen Jensen as their 6th diocesan bishop with a special Mass of Ordination.
Salt + Light Television is pleased to bring you this joyous celebration, in partnership with the Diocese of Prince George, via our
live stream
Join us tonight at 7:00pm PT/10:00pm ET. S+L's
Andrew Santos
is on location and will be bringing you updates through our various social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter.
The Most Reverend J. Michael Miller, CSB, Archbishop of Vancouver will be tonight's Principal Consecrator. Bishops David Monroe of Kamloops, British Columbia and Brian Dunn of Antigonish, Nova Scotia will be the co-consecrators. During tonight's liturgy, we will see the anointing of the Bishop's head, the Presentation of the Book of Gospels, investiture with ring, mitre and pastoral staff and kiss of peace. In a sign of support, the First Nations communities will offer a song and blessing to their new bishop.
Bishop-elect Stephen Jensen was born May 30, 1954, in North Vancouver, B.C. He attended St. Peter's Seminary in London, Ontario, where he received his BA in Philosophy in 1976 and a Master of Divinity in 1979. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Vancouver on May 24, 1980. From 1984 to 1998, Msgr. Jensen was a pastor in three parishes: Immaculate Conception in Vancouver, St. Ann's in Abbotsford, and Corpus Christi, Vancouver. Since 1984, he has served on the Catholic school board of the Archdiocese, overseeing a total of 46 elementary and secondary schools. Jensen was named a Prelate of Honour in 1996 and Vicar for Education in 1997, assisting with elementary and secondary Catholic schools, as well as adult catechesis. In 2001, he earned a doctorate in Education, specializing in Educational Leadership, at the Jesuit University of San Francisco.
In 2009, the Most Reverend J. Michael Miller, C.S.B., Archbishop of Vancouver, named him Vicar General of the Archdiocese. Msgr. Jensen was also Moderator of the Curia and Vicar for Evangelization and Education, a member of the Archdiocesan Finance Council, chair of the Steering Committee of the archdiocesan annual appeal and a member of archdiocesan advisory boards for Catholic cemeteries, evangelization, stewardship, and vocations.
Following tonight's liturgy, Bishop-elect Jensen will inherit a diocese with 37 parishes and missions and a Catholic population of 49,500. He will be supported in his ministry by 17 diocesan priests, seven priests who are members of religious communities, 15 Religious Sisters and Brothers and one permanent deacon.
On behalf of the entire team at Salt + Light, we congratulate Bishop-elect Jensen on his ordination. We look forward to being of service to him and the people of Prince George in the many months and years to come.

From trashy horror flicks and macabre comics to skin-tight leather and ghoulish makeup, punk-rock pioneers The Cramps were masters of sordid kitsch and sleazy pop culture. They were also among the most influential and enduring rock 'n' roll bands of all time.
Few better embodied their era's provocative punk-rock spirit than singer Lux Interior, an iconic frontman known as much for his music as for his wild stage presence and larger-than-life persona.
This year marks the 40th since Interior and his wife, guitarist Poison Ivy, founded the band, which recorded eight albums from 1980 to 2003, released dozens of singles, and garnered a massive cult following over their lengthy career.
Of course, Lux Interior and Poison Ivy went by very different names when they first met in 1972 when both were art students at Sacramento State. Back then, they were Erick Purkhiser and Kristy Wallace, and they met when Purkhiser and a friend stopped to give Wallace a ride as she was hitchhiking back to her apartment from the Sacramento State campus. The pair bonded over shared interests in kitschy pop culture, flea markets, music and art, even taking classes together such as "Art and Shamanism." They began playing music and soon founded The Cramps.
Purkhiser graduated in 1973, and two years later, the pair moved to Ohio and then New York. There, they married and became a part of the city's thriving punk movement. Outrageous, spirited, sometimes offensive, and wholly unique to the American music scene, The Cramps became regulars at legendary New York rock clubs CBGB and Max's Kansas City before releasing their first EP, Gravest Hits, in 1979. Their first long-player in 1980, Songs the Lord Taught Us, became a huge hit with audiences riding the first wave of punk music. The Cramps blended 1950s-era rockabilly with hard-and-fast, edgy garage rock to form a style all their own, a genre known as psychobilly.
Though the band never reached a level of mega-stardom like fellow American punk pioneers The Ramones, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, or Patti Smith, The Cramps are widely credited as rock trailblazers who influenced countless musicians and bands, from Tiger Army to The White Stripes.
Lux Interior passed away in 2009 after one of the longest and most impactful musical careers of the past century. He is survived by Poison Ivy and a legacy — in all its leopard-clad glory — that profoundly changed music culture in ways still felt today.

NEWS FLASH!! HOT STOCK TIP!! Buy stock in Victoria's Secret, Fruit-Of-The-Loom and Jockey, because there are so many panties bunched up into wads, they're all going to need to be replaced.
The latest wadding occurred when President Trump ALLEGEDLY made comments about stopping the flow of dollars to, and people from "shithole" countries.
Although the source of these alleged comments was the lying piece of crap, Sen. Dick-head Durbin, let's assume every word The Dick Head says Trump uttered was correct.
What's the definition of a Shithole country? I'm here to help, and it's really, really easy. Here we go, kids:
Answer me this: Would you and your spouse pay for a vacation to this country with your pre-teen boy and girl children or grandchildren, where you would all freely visit 80% of the country (every country has shitholes in it) day or night?
If you answered yes, it's not a shithole. If you answered no, it IS a shithole.
Easy, right? Put your money where your mouth is, or STFU.
Of course, the Leftist Press flipped this into a racist comment. Even from the most Trump-despising "reporting", I saw not a single mention of anyone's race or color. Just that he said or implied that certain countries sucked ass. Somehow, when talking about countries, the actual meaning is racism. WTF?
Typical of them to infer what Trump actually meant without him even saying it.
The one that kills me is Haiti. Clearly a shithole, has been for, well, forever. But, on that same rock - Hispaniola - is the Dominican Republic. The per capita GDP for Haiti is around $1,800. For the Dominican Republic - remember, it's on the same rock - the per capita GDP is a bit over $17,000 - more than a 9-fold greater economic force.
Same damned rock, one country is a shithole, the other is not. Trump must be employing reverse-racism with regards to the Dominican Republic. HATER!!!
Even Haiti's also-mentioned shithole brother, El Salvador has a higher per capita GDP at $4,700. It is THE BEST at something, though: It has the highest murder rate in Central America at 108.69 per 100,000 citizens (the US is a laggard at 4.88 per 100K). Wanna go to Central America? Go to Panama, with a per capita GDP of $13,600 and the lowest murder rate in the region at 11.38/100K
It's all about choices. We owe these shithole countries nothing. Not money, time, citizenship or anything. Our own country has enough actual ills where that money - our money - would be better spent.
Xenophobic, racist, "small tent", hater, bigot - call me whatever you'd like. I couldn't give a rabbit turd about what I'm called. As much as the liberals would have you believe otherwise, we're not made of money. Look to our deficit for proof.
These shithole countries - if they want to change their designation - need to look to their prosperous, self-sufficient neighbors, and follow their example. Our charity leads to an unmotivated populous, which perpetuates their poverty.

Jericho. Possibly the greatest tv show. Ever.

The fight to save Jericho is not over!
The fans have already put ads in The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, a billboard in Los Angeles, and have aired TV ads in the Los Angeles area. They've also brought attention to the inadequacy of the Nielsen rating system and have had various charitable activities.
CBS Paramount is in talks with other parties to continue Jericho and they want to hear from the Jericho fans.

And after fifteen minutes, when my monitor goes to power saving mode (the default setting), then I wanted to see the monitor of how much time remaining by pressing any key from keyboard and the coping files stop works forever.
Please help! If anyone have any idea regarding the issues please let me know.
READ your mboard manual - Intel makes excellent manuals - regarding what the normal situation is regarding whether it is supposed to beep after the POST completes successfully while booting, or look for that info on the manufacturer's web site in the support for the model - e.g. FAQs - or elsewhere. Some recent laptops and netbooks no longer produce mboard beeps - they flash leds on the keyboard instead (e.g. for Num Lock or Caps Lock or Scroll Lock or more than one of those) when there is something wrong. Recent desktop mboards may have something different than expected for the mboard beeps too.
You MUST install the main chipset drivers for your mboard after Window's Setup has finished when you install Windows from scratch. The main chipset drivers have *.inf files that tell the operating system the capabilities of the main chipset and if Windows does not have that info you're likely to have problems.
If your mboard has USB 2.0 controllers the built in support for them and USB 2.0 devices is NOT automatically installed until AFTER the main chipset drivers have been installed.
Your drives will probably NOT be able to run at the speed thay are capable of in Windows, and the ACPI features of the mboard - Standby, Hibernate, sometimes Restart in Windows; Wake on ... in the bios regarding Windows - may NOT work properly, until AFTER you have installed the main chipset drivers.
I have already installed all the drivers of the motherboard including chipset.
"PSU corsair vx 450w"
That's okay if you're using onboard video or a modest to mid range video card in a mboard slot, but it may not have enough capacity for some video cards in a slot.
Your power supply must have at least the minimum capacity required to support a system with the graphics card you are using installed, or the max graphics card you might install in the future.
(Onboard video - video built into the mboard - IS NOT A CARD ! )
If that info is not in the ad for the video card, you can go to the video card maker's web site and look up the specs for the model - often under system requirements - the minimum PS wattage, and, more important, the minimum amperage the PS must supply at 12v is stated. If you don't find that, any card with the same video chipset including any letters after the model number has very similar minimum PS requirements. Some power supplies have two or more +12v ratings - in that case, add those ratings to determine the total +12v current capacity.
If you're a gamer...
In most if not all cases, the max capacity rating of the PS is an intermittent rating. It's recommended that you do not load your PS to any more that 80% of that rating if you are going to be using something that puts a constant load on it, such as playing a recent game for hours on end. In that case, you multiply the min capacity stated for the system with the particular video chipset on the card by 1.25 to find the min. capacity of the PS you should have.
If you need to get a PS with more capacity, you can usually replace it with any decent quality standard sized standard ATX PS.
Check your SATA data cables. The connector on each end should "latch" into the socket on the drive and on the mboard, or on the drive controller card - it should not move when you merely brush your hand against it near the socket - if it does, mere vibration can cause a poor connection of it - use another SATA data cable that does "latch", or tape the connector in place.
(There is a slight projection or bump on one side of the outside of the connector that "latches" it into the socket - it's easily broken off or damaged)
The same thing applies for the SATA power connection.
Look at Device Manager to see if anything is flagged with a yellow ! or a red X, and to see whether there any devices listed as Unknown or not having the drivers installed for them.
(E.g. double click on Computer - click on System Properties in the top bar, the link to Device Manager is on the left.)
If any of the locations you have the data on or that you're copying to or from are on an external hard drive or are on something connected to the computer via a USB or firewire connection, the max data transfer rate is MUCH slower than it is compared to copying data from one internal hard drive partition to another internal hard drive partition

RFID Advantages & Disadvantages
RFID Benefits and Advantages
Radio Frequency Identification is a prominent new technology today. Many wonder what would be the use of such a technology and how it would help improve our lives. RFID is a versatile technology and as a result can have many applications such as personal credit cards, passports, supply chain management and even in our libraries.
The benefit of RFID systems can be great if implemented properly. To illustrate how RFID systems can streamline processes for greater efficiency we will use a library as an example. Seen below are just a few ways the quality of library operations could be improved with a simple RFID system.
If you would like to know about the disadvantages of RFID systems you can check out RFID Disadvantages.
Advantages of RFID In A Library
Increased efficiency in self-check-ins and checkouts. RFID technology is not like barcode technology. In fact, RFID readers don't need line of sight and can read multiple RFID tags concurrently. Reading numerous tags at the same time means faster check-ins and check-outs thus leading to an increase customer contentment.
Automatic check-ins. People can place items in an RFID return-bin and then get a receipt showing that they have brought back books.
Improvement in sorting. An RFID wand can be used to easily and quickly distinguish books that are out of sequence. These RFID wands can even be configured to show where the misplaced book actually belongs right on the spot.

black and white, diana camera, landscape, photography, skiing, sports, switzerland, toy camera, travel, zermatt
A few years ago, it was my brother-in-law's 50th birthday. In celebration, he invited a group of friends and family for a week of skiing in Zermatt, Switzerland.
This is the town of Zermatt, which has a beautiful rocky stream running through its center. That's the Matterhorn, blazing white in the morning light.
I hadn't skied in twenty years, but I wasn't worried about that. I had a bigger question: how was I going to take a camera skiing with me? My Diana camera no less, loaded with film, with its thin plastic body held together by tape? Was this a dumb idea?
Why not give it a whirl? I wanted to take pictures from as high up on the slopes as possible, and tucked my camera into my jacket, the film side of the camera flat against my belly for warmth. Luckily my ski jacket had a tight closure along the bottom, so at least the camera wouldn't fall out.
Here's the Matterhorn. It was wild to ski past this iconic mountain. Look at the cloud hanging out just in front of it! The summit of the Matterhorn is 14,670 feet high and its four faces face the compass points. It's one of the deadliest peaks in the Alps; more than 500 people have died trying to climb its slopes.
I wasn't worried about my death, I was worried about the death of my camera if I fell over and squished it. Here's another photo of the Matterhorn from a different angle.
As someone who grew up in Montreal and learned to ski as a child, where our instruction included how to ski safely over rippled sheets of ice, I'd never encountered powder before. This snow was like icing on a cake, thick, white vanilla frosting, rich and creamy, luxurious and lush. With no ice to skitter over, I was skiing in slow motion. Besides making me hungry for baked goods, this snow meant that falling over ended in a soft, pillowy landing. There was no rock-hard ice to smack down onto, just acres of sumptuous softness. My camera was safe!
This view is looking toward Gornergrat, the mountain to the northeast, where we skied on our first day.
The trouble with shooting landscapes like this is the lack of scale. Is that a pebble or a boulder? Still, I like the textures of the rocks and snow.
Here's the cliff I didn't fall over.
And the view of the valley, Zermatt with its snow-covered rooftops nestled below.
I'm not sure that I'll ever go skiing in a place like this again, but it was good to know that as long as I was skiing on snow like this, my camera would live a long, adventurous life.

Clarity is a knowing that is beyond an intellectual, didactic understanding.
Clarity, to me, is a harmonious marriage of knowledge, intuition and focus that despite its innate sharpness exuberates compassion and grace.
I mention compassion, because being clear can feel sharp sometimes, especially on the receiving end, but there is a distinctly different quality to the fierceness of clarity then to the cutting edges of harshness. And the difference lies in healthy boundaries. And while healthy boundaries can still be painful to meet, they are always expressed with a softness of heart that comes from honoring ones truth above complying or pleasing. In that inherently lies compassion toward oneself and therefor, in turn, toward the other.
A beautiful Quote on this subject by Brené Brown, author of "Daring greatly" and "The power of vulnerability" is: "Clear is kind, unclear is unkind."
This quote has become an anthem by which I try to live to the best of my ability, simply because I have found it to be profoundly true. The odd thing about this is that most people become unclear in order not to hurt others, to "soften the blow", or to "protect them from the truth", but the result usually is the opposite.
Not being straight, in most cases, is hurtful toward ourselves and others in the long run.
The other big dilemma around clarity, is that we don't always have it and so can not respond and act according to it.
That is what makes this particular theme so rich and exciting to me. Clarity, when present, is a superpower. It is a direct lifeline to the truth of our heart, sensed decidedly in the chest, head and/or gut, from where it gets transmitted and registered in our cognitive brain and can thus be communicated without distortion.
It is a beautiful, liberating and empowering process. One that not everyone is well acquainted with, but that everyone can acquire by walking the arduous and rewarding path toward self-realization.
A work that slowly but surely exposes and disperses that within ourselves which is not true, whilst bringing to light and crystallizing that which is.
With time, clarity emerges naturally and recognizing that clarity comes to our awareness faster.
But like with everything, we also stumble and fall along the way. We get confused and uncertain. We doubt and mistrust.
But the more we acknowledge in ourselves this inner knowing, the more we act upon it and see and feel the consequences of that enriching process, the more we learn to trust that inner voice, that is and always has been guiding us unwaveringly. Only we have forgotten how to listen. But that can be mended through time, intention and a soft practice of courage and awareness.
Awareness is needed to see and discern. Courage is needed to face the not knowing as well as the truth beyond it and then, of course, to live according to it.
A teacher of mine once said: "The moment you completely and utterly surrender to not-knowing, inner guidance comes in."
This was a big insight and fundamentally shifted my approach to situations in which I feel lost.
We are so afraid to simply relax into not having answers, not being able to foresee or control that we try to "gain" clarity, or "become" clear.
In my experience, at least on the level of deep, intuitional, aligned knowing, this is utterly counter-productive, even misleading.
To put it differently, the task is not to find clarity, the task is to peel away the obscuring layers of un-clarity. THAT needs awareness and courage.
Clarity is already there, at the core.

ST. GEORGE, Utah (April 14, 2014) - Back in action after over three weeks off amidst finals, the BYU-Hawaii softball dropped both games of a doubleheader to Dixie State on Monday afternoon, falling 10-0 in five innings, and 2-0 in the second game.
The Seasiders (10-16, 6-14) had to shake off the rust after game one and battled in a pitchers' duel in game two.
In game two, Keagan Hanny pitched a solid 6.0 innings, striking out three and gave up just two earned runs.
Dixie State's Michelle Duncan pitched a complete game one-hitter, striking out seven for the win.
The Red Storm scored in the fourth and the fifth innings to take a 2-0 lead, quieting the Seasider bats for the game.
In Dixie's half of the first inning, BYU-Hawaii gave up five runs, started off by a bases-loaded single to right to get on the board.
A walk and two singles led to three more and the Red Storm put up five in first to jump out to a 5-0 lead.
The Seasiders had Maria Micheli and Rebecca Mawson in scoring position in the second to try and answer but were unable to bring them in. They threatened again in the fourth with two on and no out but Dixie State struck out the next three batters to quiet any comeback, falling 10-0 in five innings.
BYU-Hawaii plays another twin bill against the Red Storm tomorrow.

Due to its many richly decorated churches, the delightful city of Romont protected by its ramparts became the stained glass capital. A notable example is the Notre-Dame de l'Épine chapel found on this very route. Plus, the recently modernised Vitromusée housed in the mediaeval castle of Romont traces the history and techniques of this know-how through an interactive exhibition.
A few minutes from Romont, Mézières Castle houses an exhibition of another delicate and little known art: wallpaper. The rare pieces on display and specialist temporary exhibitions are well worth a visit. For a breath of fresh air after these cultural discoveries, stop off at Gibloux. Surrounded by a network of footpaths, the tower affords stunning views of La Gruyère region, from April to October.
Return to Fribourg via a magical spiritual location, Hauterive Abbey. In a lush green setting, on the banks of the Sarine, the sacred place welcomes visitors respectful of the monastic silence.
An ancient crossing over the Glâne stands at Ste.-Apolline. Today's stone bridge dates from the 16th or 17th century.
