More Evidence that Two Coal & Oil Billionaires Mobilized the Tea Party (Video)
The Koch brothers, a pair of billionaires who run the company that bears their name, have been extremely influential in cultivating the anti-regulatory and anti-climate science ideology now rampant in the United States. By directing millions of dollars worth of funding towards groups that help organize grassroots movements that advance their aims -- a process finely detailed in Jane Mayer's expose -- they've been instrumental in creating the now-ubiquitous Tea Party. But the brothers have long denied the association, telling the press time and again that no, the Tea Party rose up on its own. This following video tells another story: Driven both by a desire to protect their self interests -- Koch industries is one of the biggest companies in the world, and it is almost entirely comprised of coal, oil, and manufacturing operations that emit greenhouse gases -- and to advance their libertarian beliefs, the brothers founded a number of organizations and think tanks to disseminate their ideas and support their causes. One of these, the Americans For Prosperity, was instrumental in mobilizing the Tea Party. The AFP has been one of the most vocal and vehement campaigners against clean energy and climate legislation in the nation.
The video above demonstrates the link between the Koch brothers' funding and the subsequent grassroots action -- grassroots action that hews closely to the aims of its corporate benefactors.
The Wonk Room describes the clip:
Koch, who founded Americans for Prosperity with his brother David, was the guest of honor at AFP's annual Defending the American Dream Summit. Independent filmmaker Taki Oldham filmed Koch beaming as organizers who run AFP's 25 state-level outposts touted their success in mobilizing dozens of tea party events across the nation:It's important to see where much of this anti-climate, anti-clean energy sentiment is originating. Not spontaneously, in the collective minds of outraged voters, as the conventional narrative holds, but at least in part from the interests of a handful of the wealthiest men in America -- and men responsible for a significant portion of the nation's pollution.
AFP CALIFORNIA: We helped organize huge tea parties all throughout the state. And on April 15, Tax Day, over 10,000 Californians joined us on the steps of the state capital and we held one of the largest tea parties in the country. . . .
AFP MICHIGAN: ... We have held the largest tea party in the state ...
AFP GEORGIA: ... the largest Tax Day tea party in the nation on April 15 ...
AFP OKLAHOMA: ... we've held 29 tea parties ...
AFP MARYLAND: ... we organized dozens of tea parties ...
DAVID KOCH: This is a phenomenal success in my judgment. Eight hundred thousand activists from nothing five years ago. This is a remarkable achievement. And we're being effective in so many ways.

VMware vApps wrap up apps, VMs for portability and flexibility
Using vApps adds powerful features to an administrator's arsenal, such as determining a VM startup and shutdown order.
For administrators who value speedy deployments and flexibility in the virtual environment, VMware vApps can provide just the type of elasticity their shop needs to keep up with customer demands.
The book, vSphere Virtual Machine Management by Rebecca Fitzhugh, is a guide for VMware users at all levels, providing tips on administering VMs, as well as configuration and installation help.
In Chapter 5, Managing Multitiered Applications with vApps -- which can be downloaded in PDF form here -- Fitzhugh explains that vApps' portable nature adds greater functionality to the VMware infrastructure. Fitzhugh describes a vApp -- similar to a resource pool but with greater functionality -- and explains how they are a good way to contain multi-tiered applications that run on top of vSphere. Fitzhugh includes a step-by-step process with screenshots describing how to create a vApp in vSphere, and explains how CPU and memory resources can be adjusted in the Settings menu.
Later in the chapter, Fitzhugh talks about IP addresses; powering VMs on or off within a vApp; exporting a vApp as an OVF template; and cloning a vApp, which could helpful when testing a new patch.
Highlights from Chapter 5:
One great feature of vApps is that you can specifically set the order in which virtual machines (and nested vApps) within a vApp start up and shut down. Choose which order to power on by assigning the virtual machines to groups. You can also specify that a virtual machine should wait a specific amount of seconds before powering on or powering off the next virtual machine in the vApp. A different time interval can be placed between each group. Another option is to select VMware Tools are ready; choosing this will allow for the virtual machines to wait until the VMware Tools have started and ready on one virtual machine before powering on the next. This way, if you have set the interval to 600 seconds, if the virtual machine is powered on, and if the VMware Tools initialize in 75 seconds, then the next virtual machine will go ahead and power on, and not wait until the entire interval has elapsed.
The Shutdown Action operation works similarly, except that you can modify the operation to either conduct Guest Shutdown, Power Off, or Suspend on the virtual machines.
All of these Start order settings are contained inside the vApp and are portable when the vApp is transferred.
Editor's note: The chapter excerpt from vSphere Virtual Machine Management is available courtesy of Packt Publishing.

Observation 1: The science of investing your sales energies at the right prospect.
Choosing the right prospect, to invest your sales energies, is one of the biggest execution challenges. All of us have heard and read volumes, about importance of TIME. Wisdom of time is the key, to build any successful sales career.
Through this article, I wish to share my observations of investing our sales energies at the right prospect.
- Choosing the right prospect, for making first level contact and decision to invest more sales energies on that particular prospect, is as key as, defining our target customers, at strategic level.
- Choosing wrong prospect to invest your energies, will be a double loss. 1. Your sales energies go in vain, 2. You loose an opportunity to focus on, truly potential prospect.
- We hardly witness over 20/30% conversion of prospect to order in many situations, because, we don't choose our prospect scientifically.
Principles of choosing the right prospect to invest your sales energies:
Finding a fit between product life cycle and customer class
- Your prospect selection should be based on your product or organization stage.
- The class of customers you must be focusing on at each stage is mentioned in Image A.
- Please read more on the class of customers to understand the nature of each class of customer.
Core Benefit Analysis:
- Keep evaluate the prospect based on the core benefit. Do they really reduce significant pain by choosing our offerings or do the enjoy enough pleasure?
- The ultimate benefit of any product or service is based on two core emotional benefits: Pain and Pleasure. The benefit analysis can be done at various levels. One such example is mentioned below, for two different offerings: 1. Audit firm offering Compliance Service 2. A Cafe offering chocolate tea.
- The insights from the above analysis, can also be used to define the one of our sales and marketing communication.
Choose prospect based on facts and data not on convenience or mere hope
- Many fail as, most of our choices made, are based on convenience or assumptions or hope but not on logic, facts and data.
- Mandate profiling of existing customers and learn their different characteristics to improve your definition of new prospects. If you don't have any existing clients, start with the core benefits of your offering and define the prospect profile and characteristics.
- Encourage your teams to invest time in collecting more facts about your prospect that satisfies the characteristics of your existing customer or target customer.
Choosing a prospect based on convenience, is waste of time; Choosing a prospect based on assumptions / hope is, spend of time; Choosing a prospect based on data and facts, is investment of time.
Hope you find this article worth reading.

Fate – Funny Moral Story
"One day, Death encountered a man and told him:
– Today's your last day.
The man replied:
– But I am not ready!
Death said:
– Your name is at the top of my to-do list for today.
The man said:
– Alright then… before you take me along, let's sit together and have one last cup of coffee.
Death said:
– Of course.
The man offered a cup of coffee to Death; the coffee was laced with some sleeping pills…
Death drank the coffee and soon it was fast asleep…
The man took Death's to-do list, wiped his name from the top and placed it at the bottom of the page.
When Death woke up, it said:
– You've treated me so kindly and with full of love today. I would like to reciprocate you by starting my today's work from the names at the bottom of my list."

After the third dip, the Priest said: "You are now baptized, you are a new creation. The old one is gone, no more drinking of alcohol for you. Your new name is Gomes."
Gomes went back home and headed straight for the fridge. He took a Kingfisher Beer, dipped it in water 3 times and said: "You are now a new creation, the old one is gone. Your new name is Green Tea!"

Small Schools are Best.
There is a lot of talk today about how the proposed conservative policy introducing free schools – started by parents dissatisfied with state provision – would not work in Britain.
As the former headteacher of a small free school, let me say: this is really not true. They can work very well. They do in some parts of the UK already and have done for decades in societies much like ours, including across the North Sea in Denmark.
Will they be cheaper than the current system?
No, because they are usually smaller than our state schools and they are have to start from scratch, so there is some duplication to begin with.
But, do they improve outcomes for kids and give parents and communities a sense of ownership and engagement with education? Yes, a thousand times Yes!
We already have schools that are free from state control in this country. They are called 'independent' or fee-paying schools and they are the province of the rich or those who care enough about their children's education to go without for years so that they can pay the fees.
As a rule, these schools have the best pupil:teacher ratios in the UK and some of the best teachers and results.
Why shouldn't ordinary folk have the chance of sending their kids to a school like that?
Not everyone will want to take up the option and not all will feel able to do the job, but these schools will still have to employ teachers and the market will operate to keep the better ones employed and well-paid.
I have run an alternative school and I have studied the free and alternative schools. They can and do work.
Children are usually better adjusted emotionally. They form better and more stable relationships and they perform better than expected in exams.
So, do not be scared! Sometimes, small really is best.
If I could do it over again (and afford it), I would probably home school my children.

Star Delguidice appeared on the show to open up about her fears over her bum implants which doubled the size of her posterior, having undergone surgery 12 weeks ago and regretting her decision. Speaking on the show, Ruth explained:
'The reason we're standing Star is that you're really unhappy with the result and it's actually very painful for you to sit.'
Star replied:
'It's really painful. Extremely.' She revealed how she gained three stone, with the fat being transferred onto her hips and bum.
I did want implants as well but I didn't realise they would be that big,' Star said. Warning others about the craze of Brazilian bum lifts, she added: 'It's a very dangerous new craze. I didn't realise the dangers and the risks.
'I really did not realise what it was going to be like and it's just caused me great anxiety. It's insane.' She stated how she didn't do much research into the craze beforehand, describing herself as 'naïve'. 'I can be very naïve sometimes like many young ladies out there. I didn't do much research on it.
'I've never been happy with the way I looked. I used to be a size zero, really skinny, and my bum was really flat. But I do really miss my bum before.'
She's now having therapy to deal with post-traumatic stress following the surgery.

Renowned: The Morimoto Elite Systems have earned their reputation amongst many as the aftermarket's best set of HID's. We urge you to check out the specs below, read the Reviews and then ask yourself whether your ability to see well while driving at night is worth saving a couple bucks?
Optioned Out: With a variety of available options, the Morimoto Elite H13 HID system can be configured perfectly just for you. This helpful video goes over each of the options shown above.
HID Ballasts: Designed in California by Morimoto's engineer, Yoshi Ishida, the Morimoto XB 2.0 HID Ballasts are just as good looking on the outside as they are well-engineered on the inside. They are available in both 35w and 50w versions, use proprietary software by the pros at Hylux paired with packaging perfection from the masters at Morimoto. This is today's most modern iteration of a model that has sold more than half a million units since inception, and we don't think it can really get any better!
H13 HID Bulbs: Homegrown by Morimoto to out-perform any alternatives on the market when installed in projector-based headlight…and it shows. We admit the latest generation XB HID bulbs are pretty impressive when compared to other bulbs, and even older Morimoto bulbs. At the heart of the XB bulbs is their perfectly-aligned 100% Philips quartz glass capsule that houses high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer. In our annual lux comparison test, they produced nearly the same luminosity (intensity) as the industry benchmark Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you're not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night.
MotoControl Harness: As one of the most important parts in any HID lighting upgrade; don't skimp out when it comes to your wiring. It doesn't matter how good your ballasts are. How good your bulbs are. If your harness is a piece of crap, when it gives out your headlights are gonzo. The Morimoto MotoControl Bi-xenon Harness is easily worth the premium price compared to cheaper alternatives. With its triple-sealed smart relay, 14ga stranded copper wiring, over-molded fittings, and plug-n-play functionality; it will ensure everything properly (and permanently) works from your vehicle's original in-cabin controls. It's easily the best headlight wire harness out there.
Optional Canbus Harnesses: Instead of a traditional relayed harness that draws power from the battery, Morimoto's Standalone Canbus harnesses use two individual sub-harnesses to keep a load on the factory wiring. Recommended for vehicles that recognize when a bulb is out, these contain a series of capacitors and resistors to trick the car into thinking nothing has changed and help you avoid annoying "bulb out" warnings. We generally recommend them for use on most modern European applications instead of normal harnesses since they do a great job at providing stable power to the ballasts and canceling any warnings.
Backed Up: Let's not forget the 5-year warranty on the entire kit*. The Elite system is designed to run for 2500 hours, so that's what it's guaranteed for. Don't buy into empty promises from other places offering BS "lifetime" warranties. Nothing lasts forever, and if you think "the other guy" will be there to pick up the phone or even stay in business long enough to assist you when there's a problem; guess again! [*XB55 H13 HID kits have a 3 year warranty]
User-Approved: By satisfied enthusiasts with all kinds of cars and trucks. With a quick and easy search we pulled up install examples (1,2,3,4,5,6) that span several generations of the Elite HID systems! If you haven't made a decision just yet, keep reading!
Trusted: For more than a decade, we've worked hard to earn our killer reputation. Car guys world-wide know that TRS carries the internet's best selection of high performance automotive and powersport lighting products at the best prices, and we've got the best, most knowledgeable team of real enthusiasts to help back it up. If we sell it, then you bet we've put it to the test on our own cars, trucks, and bikes. Need a recommendation on parts for your project? Got a tech question? Wholesale inquiry? Contact Us

I bought both the h13 hid kit and 3157 switchbacks and installation was easy and the product is great quality. I had a cheaper setup installed but it didn't hold up to the test of time. Very happy. The only thing I did was when wiring in the resistors for the switchbacks I soldered the wires and threw the cheap splice connectors they came with in the trash.

Build our own projectors and added in the H13/9008 Elite kit. (MotoControl Bi-Xenon , ballasts, igintors, 6500k HID bulbs, labelled wire harass). Plug and play and place good grounding points and done. Amazing lights over stock. Will never go back to stock. The Morimoto HID is the way to go. Thanks - TRS. One small problem on the Morimoto Control module after 15 months, two pins become corroded and shut the module down. So ordered another, plugged in with dielectric grease on the pins and hung vertical and we are good to go. The Retrofit Source had my replacement part from Georgia to Southern Ontario Canada (International Shipping / Customs) in 8 days, very happy.
Had to say this is 100% plug and play, not modification or cutting harness, great quality harness compared to other kits I have used, Just had problem initially then found the rust in the input connector is the culprit, WD40 did the job.
Also to mention customer service is at peak, all questions answered promptly.
From the first moment you open the box you can tell this is a quality kit. I just put the 50w system in my f150 and the light output is incredible! My favorite part about this whole kit has to be how they label every cord for you do you know exactly where it goes. Thank y'all for great customer service and high quality products.
I purchased this kit for my 2013 GMC Yukon. I had considerable trouble having to re-pin the connector where it links up to the factory harness. The bright and low beam wires were backwards. I was given directions on how to re-pin the connector. I was not told I would have to do this when I purchased the kit. It was no where as easy as I would told it would be. There were no video directions or instructions of how to do it I ended up mutilating the pins and the harness connector. I had to get replacement parts from The Retrofit Source. Aside from that the kit was pretty good. I wish the lead wires and the positive cable were a little bit longer so they could be concealed easier. Lights are really bright with 5000K bulbs. Light is very white and lights up the road great.
This system is quality. If you're looking for the oem factory bright white color of 4300k , this is it...no doubt it's as advertised, "BRIGHT WHITE" like a stadium fixture. The bulbs, wiring, even the ballast and hardware are the best I've seen. Got it in my 2005 F250 superduty. Adds classy look, superior functionality and confidence on the road! Get it! Great customer service as well, Retrofit Source is the real deal.
MY wife haves depth perception issues while driving at night. So I upgraded the headlight in her Chevy Cruze to this kit. With the additional light output from the HID lights helps her see distant object at night without a struggle. I will upgrade every Vehicle from now on with a kit from the Retrofit Source without question from now on. Thanks for such a great product
***I bought a brand new 2014 Chevy Cruze which had 9008 factory bulbs. I read everyone's review on this setup and the overall satisfaction was great, so I took the chance and bought a set of 9008 3five 5000k and Love Them!!! After I adjusted the headlight beam downward so it wasn't pointed in peoples faces, it is the color I have been looking for. It's pure white color with a tint of a crystal-glassy-light blue intermixed with the white. A friend of mine has 6k and that setup is too blue for my taste. 5k is just right. Now I just need to buy H8 bulb setup with 5000k and I will have a matching set. I would guess the only downside of having HID bulbs in a not-projector headlight assym is that there are two defined headlight beams on the road. I previously owned a car that had oem hid so the car/headlight were programmed to not have defined beams and the light was spread out throughout the road.
***The difficult factory was small-to slight-medium. The factory bulbs were practically in your face with nothing in the way. No taking a battery out, no removing the bumper, nothing. However just the time it took to organize all of the cords, trying to find a location to place the ballasts, finding a good place to "ground" the kit onto the car.
***Overall, very satisfied with the 3five 5000K!
A little background is in order here.
Previous to purchasing this H13 bi-xenon kit here I had previously purchased a cheap kit somewhere else locally. It seems that I can only find cheap kit locally.
The kit that I bought locally was not bi-xenon & had a halogen high beam light. The bulb itself was ok but could have better designed as to it's location in the reflector housing of my 2010 Dodge grand caravan. The beam had a band of yellow light above the cut off of the low beam. This made it so I had to aim the lower than I really wanted to to prevent dazzling other drivers. The high beam lights on this kit were halogen & were totally worthless as when you turn on the high beams the HID bulb shut off & the halogen light shined up into the trees & not at all on the road.
The original ballasts that came with that kit were of the D.C. output type & as a result the output was low & off color temperature. The off color temperature was not a fault of the bulbs but of the ballast. When I hooked a better ballast up to them they were the proper color temperature for their rating.
There was no wiring harness that came with these & though they worked ok with the original ballasts. I had trouble with their more powerful "55watt" ballast not igniting the bulbs consistently so I made my own relayed wiring harness which did work but the problems with their "55watt" ballasts remained as the ballasts were faulty in that they still would not ignite the bulbs if the ballast was warm & it did not matter if the heat source was internal or external, anything over luke warm caused an issue.
Enter the TRS H13 elite kit with Morimoto bulbs, ballasts & motocontrol harness.
The kit arrived on the scheduled time. The sales person that I talked with on the phone was friendly & even though I disagree on some things we talked about they were not critical points.
The Morimoto 3five ballasts are in a word absolutely excellent. They were reliable & would ignite the bulbs under any condition that I tested them in. Their power & color temperature which is in part a function of the ballast providing the correct type & amount of power was spot on. Correct type output being A.C. output instead of D.C. output that some cheap ballasts produce including the ones that originally came with the cheap kit that I purchased locally.
The Morimoto H13 bi-xenon bulbs are also very good. The beam pattern was much closer to the stock halogen bulbs that came with the car. There was still a slight yellow ban above the cut off of the low beam but much narrower than on the cheap HID kit's bulbs. While this was not absolutely perfect, it was more than acceptable as now I could aim them slightly higher without dazzling other drivers. This yellow band does not come from the bulb but from the back side of the hood that is inside the reflector. Correct positioning of the capsule or filament in the case of a halogen bulb hides this yellow band.
High beam on this bulb is excellent with good distance lighting up about 1/4 mile brightly without being over bright in the near field. There is adequate light beyond 1/4 mile out to about 1/2 mile. This is in large part due to the reflector housing not really being setup for great throw but for good width of beam even on high beam. Color temperature of the bulb output looked to be spot on with no hint of blue or yellow from the bulb itself.
The motocontrol harness is superb. connections are of high quality & there is an abrasion resistant cover over the wiring to protect the wiring. Even though I have a Chrysler product my car did not require the chrysler specific harness as this car does not have the canbus system that detects bulbs that are out. I did need to add a capacitor though to prevent the solinoids on the H13 bulbs from buzzing on high beam only.

text: For Christmas last year I splurged and bought hubby a NutriBullet for his morning smoothie. Spoiler alert: 5 seconds after he opened the box I realized I should have kept it for myself! Since then I have been trying to craft a few low carb smoothie recipes that I can enjoy, and this chocolate keto smoothie rates up there with one of my tastier concoctions. There is a recipe book that comes with the NutriBullet but the smoothie recipes are pretty high carb, and high in fructose given all the fruit and syrup they cram into their recipes (perfect for you Paleo peeps!)….

David Hackney, Professor of Public Affairs
Having just finished your book I wanted to tell you that it is excellent. It takes the knowledge of a scientist and the skills of journalist to produce a book that informs the reader while moving the story forward. I bought it Wednesday and by Thursday night it was finished. Only novels have compelled me to stay up until the book was finished. As a professor of public affairs, public policy, public affairs and research I am considering using your book in a couple of my classes. It could help my students understand the practical and political aspects of policy formation. It will help my research understand some of the "real world" complexities they will face. It will also bring light to a subject that is rarely on the minds of today's undergraduates. Your books also gives me some excellent data to use in debating abstinence with some of my conservative colleagues. Congratulations and I hope your book becomes a best seller.
Pat O'Hare, honorary president of the International Harm Reduction Association
I have just read your book and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It is beautifully written, unputdownable and incredibly informative. I learned more about epidemiology in the first few pages than I have done in 20 years of being around epidemiologists. I can't find anything in it with which I disagree. It should be compulsory reading for anyone working in this field. Everyone else for that matter.
Susan Armstrong, AIDS mafia
Your book is just brilliant! Yes it really is a page-turner, a compulsive read, which is an extraordinary feat for a book about AIDS, and especially among those of us who are steeped in the subject and punch-drunk with all the writing and reading. What I found particuarly exciting was the fact that you have shot from the hip, always, which is challenging and stimulating, but you have pinned almost everything you say down with compelling and good quality data. Even where I was happy to find myself saying, mentally, "yes but…" (because it's nice not to feel you are being led by the nose by a good talker!), I found you answering my queries, settling my doubts, a little further on. It's a great book — and important, I reckon. It's a book I wish I had written myself, and I hope it's selling like hot cakes.
Sandeep, Bioengineer
I just finished reading the wisdom of whores; it was one of the best books i have
ever read. I am a Phd student in bioengineering and it gave me a snippet into
what it is to transfer science to policy. I think every aspiring scientist
should read it.
Matthew Reisz, Journalist, THE
I just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed your book, probably the best I've read this year, for its pathos and abrasive wit as well as powerful polemics and jaw-dropping details of some worlds I knew nothing about. I do hope it helps spur a more honest debate and more effective policies in the whole field of HIV/AIDS
Anokhi Kapasi, Biomed PhD
I just finished reading your book and I surprisingly had a lot of fun learning about something as serious as the HIV/AIDS epidemic. I grew up in Singapore and have traveled around the SE Asian area, many places that you discussed in your book. It was a huge wake-up call to re-visit that area through the eyes of an epidemiologist – the way jumping into cold water can be both shocking and refreshing…
Damian Facciolo
Just finished reading your book. It really was fantastic! I read it in a few
sittings; it was compelling, entertaining, thought-provoking. And from my
perspective, a very real and accurate account of how things are here in the
AIDS industry and on Planet Epidemiology.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom (and the wisdom of whores) with readers.
Elisabeth Wennevold, Norway
I just finished "The Wisdom of Whores" five minutes ago. Applause to you – for content and style – from a Norwegian reader! The book entered my field of vison by coincidence, I'm seriously glad I decided to order it, and will definitely recommend it to friends (or strangers) whenever an opportunity arises.
Romey McPherson, USA
I opened The Wisdom of Whores up on Saturday morning and finished the last page early this morning. It dominated our Memorial Weekend, and I couldn't put it down. Tour de force! You are intrepid in your unflinching search for knowledge and truth, and have the gift of making unpalatable facts fascinating to read. I would not be surprised if The Wisdom of Whores moves from category Hard Cover
to category Best Seller over the next few months.
Jill Bausch, USA
The book is a fantastically worthy achievement. Keep talking like this. We all have to, and it will someday make monumental change we are all screaming/dying (no joke) to see. I am using your book as one of the texts for my grad school int'l development class at the University of Denver this autumn. Congratulations.
Alison Marshall, UK Unicef committee
Your book is going round the office here like wildfire – congratulations on a fantastically interesting and readable book (I can't put it down)!
Sandro Colombo, ex-UN
I read your book and I really enjoyed it. Even more since I am a former epidemiologist and ex-UN. You did a good job in demystifying a lot of non-sense and destroying myths. Congratulations!
Graham Greene, UK
I'm a 60 year old white middle class Englishman who's just finished reading TWOW which I found funny, informative, desperately sad in parts but most of all very neccessary.
I got the book because I read a review in 'The Independent' and I wanted to write and say that I thought Jeremy Laurance was rude, patronising but most of all wrong – he just didn't seem to get the point and in my view the 'objections' he raises in the last 3 paragraphs of his review seem to
represent a typical medical establishment orthodoxy which in itself provides a huge contribution to the lack of AIDS prevention and treatment. I thought your book a breath of fresh air – but then again what do I know – after all I ain't part of the medical profession am I ?
Will Rafey, high school senior
It's glaringly obvious that you know more about the HIV/AIDS pandemic than anyone who's ever written anything I've ever read, and I've cut hundreds of pages of debate evidence for this year. From the extensive reviews your book has received from a vast number of different publications (including the Economist, my favorite), I think that your book will probably change the face of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, especially since the storm of publicity around your book is occurring just as PEPFAR is blocked in the Senate. Of course, you probably didn't need to hear it from a high school senior…
Barry Long, Singapore
Chanced upon your book during my regular trip to the book store. Thank you for giving a voice to the groups that will remain unheard most of the time in the mainstream media, and pursuing stories that are deemed too testy for the public consumption. There is no reality that the public can reasonably argue it must be shielded from. Definitely not this.
Katie, commenting at the Daily Bedpost
I just read this book and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to have a comprehensive view of the HIV crisis. It's extremely readable, not dry and she makes you love the the people she meets along her journey.
William Kelly, Indonesia
I saw your interview on HardTalk and then immediately wanted to buy the book. Which I did. It's (i) very readable (ii) humourous (iii) relevant. I think I finished your book in 3 days, in the jams to and from work here. Thanks for a great book!!!
Elbereth Wentzel
I bought your book on Thursday while waiting to board a plane in Edinburgh. Compulsive reader that I am, I am sure to finish reading it before I fly back from N.I later today! Congrats on a very readable and interesting book! After working for a NGO in South Africa that deals with HIV prevention and
treatment (Mindset Network), I completed a MPhil in Educational Research at Cambridge last year – and intend to recommend your book to my former class mates and lecturers, as well as friends at work! I am also trying to break into the social research field after working predominantly in fundraising (including being exposed to USAID and their restrictions on what we were allowed to spend
their money!) I thus found your chapters on fieldwork and donors extremely interesting.
William Salmond, Uganda
Thanks for your book – just finished reading. You are funny and yes I am also repeating myself and will move on. Prevention is everything, you are so right. This sex thing you talk about is raising its ugly head again here in the Pearl and rate of new infections is rising.
Sarah Jayne Edwards, Cleverknickers
I am currently reading your book having bought it 2 days ago and am already half way through. Im from the UK but have lived in Asia for 6 years. Thank you for such a well researched, informative and well written book!
Student of Development Studies at Princeton University
"Quite possibly the most refreshing piece I've read after a year of development studies at this school."
Sinead Worrall, Wellcome Trust
"I've enjoyed the journey this book has taken me on; I've laughed, felt shock and despair, anger and disbelief in the space of a page."
Warren Feek, Director of The Communication Initiative, former UNICEF
My partner brought me your book and I really looked forward to readng it having
been involved in a number of ways in HIV/AIDS communication action over many
years and being very critical of the global strategy.
Unfortunately I put the book down after the first 30 or so pages. In my opinion
and experience you got so much wrong about the creation and beginnings of UNAIDS
[in which I was involved for 18 months as one of two UNICEF point people for
those negotiations] that I was left feeling I could not read the rest of the
book accepting what you wrote in good faith.
Jon Cohen, author of Shots in the Dark
Elizabeth Pisani combines brains, passion and a welcome dose of irreverence and mirth to explain the myriad ways HIV moves through different populations and how best to slow its spread. A lapsed
journalist who earned a PhD in epidemiology, Pisani powerfully connects frightening statistics to the real life stories of a wonderful cast of insightful sex workers, smack addicts, transgenders and other outcasts who are especially vulnerable to the AIDS virus.
She's blunt, bold, and relentlessly honest, even about the limitations of her own efforts, which make her prescriptions for improving prevention efforts all the more convincing.
Charles Wheelan, author of Naked Economics
"It's rare to find a great public policy book that also happens to be a page turner–but the Wisdom of Whores pulls it off. This is a must-read for epidemiologists and a great read for everyone else."

Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: ALTER TABLE REBUILD command - ***RESOLVED***
Thanks Waleed and Charlie,
It looks like the ALTER TABLE MOVE command was implemented in 8.1.6. It also looks like when you use it, all the indexes on the table become invalid, forcing you to do an ALTER INDEX REBUILD.
Thanks, again!

Restrictions and access
48 inches; under 230 pounds; has Express Pass access.
Two-sentence insider summary
Two riders are simultaneously sent down the Kala and Ta Nui Serpentine Body Slides via a drop door. Their paths then crisscross several times as they plummet down the intertwining tubes.
Fear factor
5 out of 5. This is a longer version of the Ko'okiri Body Plunge, with the green Tai Nui slide often being referred to as the most intense ride in the park.
What you wish you knew before you experienced it
As mentioned above, Tai Nui (green slide) is more intense than Kala (blue slide). Guests slide down a steep drop at the end of Tai Nui, whereas they glide out more slowly on Kala.
Be sure to follow the instructions and keep your head back. Guests will often try to lift their heads, which may cause the forces to bump the backs of their heads onto the slide.
OI fun fact
Kala and Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides tie into Volcano Bay's backstory: Tai Nui is the god Krakatau's daughter, and Kala is her mortal lover. They represent two of the central elements that have fused together to create the island paradise – sea and moon.

Hugh Jackman goes back to the future in new X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer
The latest footage whets fans' appetites with a mega-mutant smackdown also featuring Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence
As trailers go, the latest taster for Marvel's upcoming mega-mutant smackdown (opening in the UK on Thursday 22 May) is really one to whet the appetite. Original X-Men director Bryan Singer here rounds up mutants old and new, in an apocalyptic free-for-all that sees Hugh Jackman's world-weary Wolverine sent on a back-to-the-future mission to save mutantkind from itself.
The sight of past and present incarnations of Professor X (Patrick Stewart/James McAvoy) and Magneto (Ian McKellen/Michael Fassbender) in the same film, along with revealing scenes of Hunger Games heroine Jennifer Lawrence as blue-skinned shape-changer Mystique, will have fans of the franchise all a-quiver. Sure it's doomy, but the return of Singer to the fray and virtually the entire X-cast (plus Game of Thrones's Peter Dinklage as the scientist creator of the mutant-killing Sentinels) guarantees as much action at the box office as there is on the screen.
Take a look below…

PreInit This is the first real event you might handle for a page. You usually use this event only if you need to set values such as master page or theme.This event is also useful when you are working with dynamically created controls for a page without a master page. You should create the controls inside this event.
Init This event fires after each control has been initialized. You can use this event to change initialization values for controls.If you need to dynamically add controls to a content page, use this event.
InitComplete This event is raised after all initializations of the page and its controls have been completed.
PreLoad This event fires before view state has been loaded for the page and its controls and before postback processing. This event is useful when you need to write code after the page is initialized but before the control view state has been re-established.
Load The page is stable at this time; it has been initialized and its state has been reconstructed. Code inside the page load event usually checks for postback and then sets control properties appropriately.The page's load event is called first. Then the load event for each child control is called in turn (and then the load events for their child controls, if any). This is important to know if you are writing your own user or custom controls.
Control (postback) event(s)ASP.NET now calls any events on the page or its controls that caused the postback to occur. This might be a button's click event, for example.
LoadComplete At this point all controls are loaded. If you need to do additional processing at this time, you can do so here.
PreRender This event allows final changes to the page or its control. It takes place after all regular postback events have taken place. This event takes place before ViewState is saved, so any changes made here are saved
SaveStateComplete Prior to this event, the view state for the page and its controls is set. Any changes to the page's controls at this point or beyond are ignored. This event is useful if you need to write processing that requires the view state to be set.
Render This is a method of the page object and its controls (not an event). At this point, ASP.NET calls this method on each of the page's controls to get its output. The Render method generates the client-side HTML, Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (DHTML), and script that are neces-sary to properly display a control on the browser. This method is useful if you are writing your own custom control. You override this method to control output for the control.
Unload This event is used for cleanup code. You can use it to manually release resources, a process that is rarely necessary.

An ancient Christian burial site with preserved murals has been uncovered during excavation work for the electricity network of the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv.
The archaeological find, provisionally dated 4th c. AD, is part of the southern necropolis of ancient Philippopolis and measures 1 by 2 metres.
Its two large walls are covered with a depiction of the Resurrection of Lazarus, painted in five colours.
The two short walls are covered with a number of Christian symbols, but the Lazarus murals are believed to be unique for Bulgaria, said archaeologist Maya Martinova.
The burial site has actually been uncovered in early May, but the process of study has lasted till now due to the complicated urban infrastructure it is entangled in.
The cemetery popped up during excavations by electricity utility EVN, and is also located close to modern-day natural gas and sewerage pipes in the center of Bulgaria's second-largest city.
For now, provisional plans would see the murals removed and exhibited in one of Plovdiv's museums.
