The Victorian period is often regarded as a high point in literary history, generating a wealth of material that is still regarded as canonical as well as a diverse range of literary genres. This period, which encompasses the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, produced a large number of prominent authors such as Charles Dickens, the Brontë sisters, and Oscar Wilde, and witnessed a huge expansion in the literary market (partly because of the rise in literacy). The Victorian era was highly conscious of its own relation to the past – its 'heritage' or place in history – but it also sensed its role in shaping the future. For modern readers, it has come to represent both our literary past and the beginnings of modernity as we experience it today. Although the study of Victorian literature has a rich and well established critical literature, it remains a highly active field due to its popularity with students and researchers alike, and is constantly responding to the regular emergence of new interpretations and theoretical ideas. In addition to this extensive body of scholarship, the study of Victorian literature has been quick to move online so that today's students and researchers have ready access to key primary source texts and a range of other electronic resources. Rather than sifting through these ever-expanding mountains of information that may or may not yield relevant results, students and researchers alike can rely on Oxford Bibliographies in Victorian Literature to offer a reliable, up-to-date, and authoritative guide to the best literature in the field.
Readers interested in learning more about science fiction in literary and cinematic studies will welcome this selection of freely available Oxford Bibliographies articles. This collection spans various disciplines in order to further illuminate the major themes and works in the field. Read More.

So I should be able to just use the PS1 script that I wrote in the ZAP file as one method of installation, but when I try to do that it doesn't work(a command prompt flashes very briefly, no error message in it).jvierra wrote:I think you miss the point of the AP file here. It uses a PS1 to do an install of an exe or other file. You must place you file in the install folder and write a vbs or exe to install the file. You cannot wrap the install script in an exe and have it work as a ZAP installer.hamsandwich wrote:To clarify this is how my work installs things on computers:
-Get install files from vendors (exe's, MSI's, licenses, etc)
-That gets thrown in a network folder
-A script is written (usually VBS or PS1) that runs the installers as well as any other additional things we want it to do
-That script is thrown in the same network folder
-There is also a ZAP file that is created for each script that is written. That ZAP contains the FriendlyName and SetupCommand.
-For SetupCommand there are two different arguments we use:
---For VBS scripts it is: "C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe networklocation\script.vbs"
---For Powershell it is: "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe networklocation\script.ps1"
-The ZAP file then gets pushed to the control panel, install program from network area using group policy.
-The users just open up the control panel and install programs through the control panel
The alternative based on your previous post is to use an MSI and avoid ZAP files altogether except I don't know how (especially with the MSI installer tool in PSS2015) to make it run the PS1 file instead of just pushing it to a folder.

Title: Death of an English Muffin
Pub. Date: July 7th, 2015
Series: Merry Muffin Mysteries
Author: Victoria Hamilton
Lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer... why is it that summer seems to have so many songs about it? In The Summertime, Summer In The City, Summer of '69, Summer Lovin'. I guess growing up as a Wynter, I was always more aware of the summer songs.
I had forgotten this, but when I was about 13 I had a friend named Summer; while we palled around and dreamed of being famous one day, we invented our imaginary group name, The Summer Wynter Girls. All summer we practiced out on the fire escape of my grandmother's Village apartment singing Belinda Carlisle's Heaven On Earth. Interesting sidenote: two of the top 100 songs that year were Endless Summer Nights by Richard Marx and Hazy Shade of Winter by the Bangles.
Anyway... I went with her family to the Cape for a week that summer, but at the end of it, when we came back to the city and went back to school, something happened and we had a falling out. I don't remember what over. I think it was a boy. Isn't it often about a boy, in some form? Either you both like the same boy, or you get interested in a boy and stop spending time with your friend, or any number of other scenarios.
How about you? Did you ever have a summer friend you've lost track of?
About Death of an English Muffin:
They say one's home is one's castle, but when it comes to Wynter Castle, Merry would like it to belong to someone else. But until a buyer bites, she could use some extra dough, so she decides to take in renters. The idea pans out, and Merry's able to find a handful of tenants eager to live in a real castle. The only problem is most of them are crumby, tea-swilling old biddies.
The Legion of Horrible Ladies, as Merry calls them, is led by the terribly nasty—and fabulously wealthy—Cleta Sanson. The abrasive Englishwoman keeps everyone whipped into a frenzy—until she meets an embarrassing end behind a locked door. Evidence reveals that Cleta was murdered, yet no one is privy to how the deed was done. Merry knows she must quickly find the killer before another of her guests gets greased…

What is art?
On the surface, it is a simple question. However, this simple question often receives a number of complex answers.
Sure, you can go to any dictionary for some sort of answer. However, even there you are likely to come up with several different definitions.
Does the amount of time put in or effort involved determine whether something is or is not art? A few other questions we can ask ourselves include:
Is it art if it involves creativity or imagination?
Does how it make you feel determine whether or not it is art?
Is the idea of self-expression essential to qualify something as art?
All in all, the questions and answers are seemingly endless. Perhaps it is much like the concept of beauty. As it has been said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe it's just that simple – what is art is up to the individual and can be just as unique as each and every person.

"With his love of contemporary fairy tales that are gritty and dirty rather than pretty, Palahniuk is the likeliest inheritor of Vonnegut's place in American writing."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Few authors have captured the pathologies of modern life quite like Palahniuk." —Rocky Mountain News
"Like Edgar Allen Poe, Palahniuk is a bracingly toxic purveyor of dread and mounting horror. He makes nihilism fun." —Vanity Fair

GEAR UP Hawaii and UH establish $4 million scholarship fund for low-income GEAR UP scholars in HawaiiUniversity of Hawaiʻi
GEAR UP Hawaii
The University of Hawaiʻi (UH) and GEAR UP Hawaiʻi are pleased to mark the establishment of a $4 million GEAR UP Scholarship fund through the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation (HCF) that will provide scholarships for 7,500 GEAR UP Scholars in the Classes of 2006 to 2009.
This year, more than 350 GEAR UP Scholars in the graduating high school Class of 2006 have applied for the scholarship through HCF. Students entered the GEAR UP Scholars Program at the end of their 8th grade year by signing a form with their parent pledging to prepare for postsecondary education and meeting minimum academic and behavioral requirements. Throughout their high school years, Scholars received college preparation support and resources from GEAR UP Hawaiʻi and through student college prep clubs known as GEAR UP Hui.
To qualify for the need- and merit-based scholarship, GEAR UP Scholars must have prepared academically, earn a Board of Education Recognition Diploma this Spring and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Scholarship recipients will be announced in July.
GEAR UP Scholars have access to over $16 billion of financial aid by applying for federal financial aid, the GEAR UP Scholarship and the newly established State of Hawaiʻi B Plus Scholarship.
GEAR UP, which stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, encourages low-income students to prepare for higher education. GEAR UP Hawaii is a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education to the State of Hawaiʻi and a collaborative project of the State DOE, University of Hawiʻi 10-campus system and community partners. For moreinformation about GEAR UP Hawaiʻi, visit http://gearup.hawaii.edu or call 956-3879 or toll free at 1-866-808-GEAR(4327).

Here is again the picture that caused all the controversies. pic.twitter.com/5PQJpp6Q7XA brief post. The above image is on the Facebook page for a 2014 charity calendar, Medemoiselles, and features female medical students. Last year the calendar featured male medical students in their underwear.

During rhinoplasty the shape, form and/or function of the nose is improved. The aim is to bring the nose in harmony with the other structures of the face, where also skin type, ethnic background and age play an important role. Often a nose surgery to achieve more balance is a nose reduction. During the consultation the structure, composition and function of your nose will be looked at. You will be explained how the structures of the nose, including bone and cartilage, can be customized with a rhinoplasty. Furthermore, photos will be made to prepare for a possible operation.
Surgical procedure
A rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon makes two incisions in the nostrils and a small cut in the skin between the two nostrils. The advantage of this method is that the shape of the nose can be adjusted very precisely. The small scar is invisible in everyday life.
During nose surgery (some) bone and cartilage are removed, added or moved to create the desired new shape. A nose tip for instance can be shortened, lengthened or refined. A nose bridge can be made lower, higher, wider, narrower, shorter, longer or straightened. After surgery a splint is placed over the nose that will be taken off after one week.
Please feel free to contact me or to take a look at this link of the Velthuis Clinic.
The chin should be in balance with the rest of the face. Most important, the chin should align with the nose and should fit your own jaw line. With a chin correction we can change the size and shape of the chin. So we can make a jaw line more defined with an augmented chin, which for people with a recessed chin makes quite a difference.
You can make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Stubenitsky to discuss expectations and possibilities whether a chin correction can provide the right balance in your face and what form is suitable for you.
In April 2016 I have had rhinoplasty done by Dr. Stubenitsky. Since I was doubting my decision quite a lot I had two consults and asked for a second opinion by another surgeon. I eventually chose for Dr. Stubenitsky because of his expertise, his calm and clear explanation and his clear passion for the nose (everyone their own passion). The staff of the Velthuis clinique was without any exception incredibly nice and the surgery wasn't that bad at all. I quit my painkillers earlier and went to work after a week and a half. Many friends don't even notice the change, and that is exactly what I wanted. The result is very natural and I am very happy with it.
Since I can remember I have been conscious of my nose. Not sure at what point the deviation happened but do remember some incidents with baskets balls slamming my nose and the intense pain thereafter possibly leading to the bump. Anyway as life went on got the confidence in myself to live with it but after coming back every few years to the idea I eventually decided to give it a serious thought. Did the research and found the doctor in Netherlands when I was visiting. Was in one the top clinics, visited him, and he made me feel he was the right guy. I had previously once visited two doctors, the first who used turkey something to describe the hang of the nose (made me feel insecure), another who said it would all be fine etc this guy didn't make me feel insecure and told me what we would correct, showed me on ipad how it would look and said we should go for a natural looking change. Day of surgery and follow-up all went well and really the biggest fear I had was post op pain which basically there wasn't any much at all. The nose was stuffed with cotton buds for a few days and that made sleeping difficult but nose recovered fast. didn't bruise much at all and once the things were taken off… I was ready to go normal. I'm glad I got it done. It looks perfect from side. I would like the tip to be sharper and may get a revision done on the tip only. So if you have been thinking about it – suggest make sure the clinic is reputable and the doctor has a good history. One thing about EU is that doctors don't seem to advertise themselves and their work as much as in US so while I do prefer the US style marketing the job was done well and no one noticed per se the rhinoplasty in that it wasn't a drastic new nose or face but perfecter one. Dr. Bart showed me on his ipad his previous patients (and a lot of em) plus also did a stimulation on some software in his ipad about what my final outcome will be like – this REALLY helped in deciding how to go. Also I described the issues I felt and he explained how he can fix it and gave further recommendations such as reduction of nostrils or leaving the bump for masculine look etc. The guy knows what he is doing and did a fantastic job with which I'm super glad. Also about the marketing aspect, the main diff between US vs NL I suppose, that US doctors put all their patient photos on site while I couldn't find many doctors who put up their work on their site, I'm not sure why that is but I guess culturally europeans are less flamboyant than Americans… just a guess 🙂
Doctor Stubenitsky is a real gentleman and professional. Staff are pleasant. Everything good! He goes for a natural look so what he showed me how it will the nose is. I will get a revision done on the tip because I'd like it smaller sharper. He is happy to take care of it. After care follow up could be more detailed but was ok anyway.
Dear Dr. Stubenitsky, I went to the nurse yesterday to have my splint and stitches removed, and when I looked into mirror I was speechless. I think it looks incredibly beautiful, I am so happy, it exceeded all my expectations. I want to thank you so much for everything, I have a hard time explaining how happy I am. I would recommend the Velthuis clinique and especially you to everyone! And of course also the sweet and caring nurses, I am very satisfied. On Wednesday I have an appointment for a checkup with you, than I can thank you in person.
On the 28th of November 2015 I have had rhinoplasty done by dr. Stubenitsky. During the intake I immediately felt comfortable with doctor Stubenitsky. He listened really good to all my wishes but was also clear about the possibilities I had. I would definitely recommend dr. Stubenitsky. He is a spontaneous man who is at the same time very professional and passionate about his profession. The result is above my expectations, I am very pleased with it.
The time and attention I got during my orientation meeting and intake before the surgery made sure I was calm and went into the surgery with a positive attitude. The result is above any of my expectations and looks very natural.

Over 20 percent of Yasuni ITT Trust Fund contributions have been reimbursedFeb 26, 2014
UNDP working with Government of Ecuador for full reimbursement in the next six months
New York/Quito -- The UN Development Programme (UNDP) has reimbursed US$ 2.35 million of a total $9.94 million donated to the Yasuni National Park's Ishpingo Tambococha Tiputini (ITT) initiative, which the Government of Ecuador brought to end in August 2013. UNDP, in its role of Trust Fund Administrator, through its Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) Office, has contacted all contributors and is working towards their full reimbursement in the next six months.
UNDP received the formal Fund closure notification on September 2, 2013 and one month later the Yasuni Trust Fund Steering Committee— composed of Government, contributing governments, and Ecuadorian civil society representatives—agreed to fully reimburse all received contributions.
Last October the Steering Committee agreed that contributing partners could choose between having their donations returned or reinvested in other projects in Ecuador. To date, some have decided to reinvest their contributions in sustainable development projects in Ecuador, while others have not yet formalized their decision.
UNDP and the UN family continue working with the people of Ecuador and its Government to promote sustainable human development, protect biodiversity and the environment, and guarantee human rights.

Barack Obama campaigned under a banner of transparency in government, but has proven to be the most secrecy-fixated president of all time. Across the breadth of the bureaucracy, there is a mania to hide the facts from the people. "Senior leaders of the Department of Defense intentionally and consistently misled the American people and Congress about success in the Afghan War." Public employees labor in fear. "These agencies are corrupt and we are still on the bus fighting like Rosa."
by Marsha Coleman-Adebayo
"Under this administration there is a concerted attack against those who dare to expose corruption in government or corporations."
Barack Obama's administration has launched attacks unparalleled since the McCarthy years on those who blow the whistle against corruption inside the federal government.
Obama has already charged more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all previous administrations combined (as reflected in the list below.) Peter van Buren, a career foreign affairs officer at the Department of Department of State claims his job was threathened after writing, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People [6]. Van Buren, who became disillusioned by waste and hypocrisy while serving in Iraq, says "The number of cases in play [against whistleblowers] suggests an organized strategy to deprive Americans of knowledge of the more disreputable things that their government does. How it plays out in court and elsewhere will significantly affect our democracy."
Van Buren points out that the pre-World War 1 Espionage Act has been used against "labor leaders and radicals like Eugene V. Debs, Bill Haywood, Philip Randolph, Victor Berger, John Reed, Max Eastman, and Emma Goldman. Debs, a union leader and socialist candidate for the presidency, was sentenced [7] to 10 years in jail for a speech attacking the Espionage Act itself. The Nixon administration infamously (and unsuccessfully) invoked the Act [8] to bar the New York Times from continuing to publish the classified Pentagon Papers." But no other administration has used this legislation as liberally as President Obama who has authorized more drone attacks than any other American president.
"No one ever joins the government in order to be a whistleblower or leaker."
Van Buren was writing on the blog Tom.Dispatch.com of Tom Engelhardt, a teaching fellow at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California. Engelhardt in turn observes: "One thing is obvious. No one ever joins the government in order to be a whistleblower or leaker.Whistleblowers are created, not born," speaking words that resonate with my experience as a whistleblower [9]. Van Buren notes: "It is perhaps typical of whistleblowers and leakers that something they are privy to simply pushes them over the edge." In my case it was the realization that government was failing to act against a U.S. multinational whose mining practices was leading to the injury and deaths of South African vanadium miners.
I continue to speak out against injustice, but it certainly has not made my life easier. Each week I get mails to my Facebook site [10] from those who are whistleblowers or are close to whistleblowers. This week's example is typical: "I know you don't know me and I am taking a HUGE chance by writing you, but I have to at least try. My parents are going through some of the same things you went through at the EPA. Both top-level executives at federal agencies they have been retaliated harshly against. NO ONE seems to hear us. I'm begging for your help. Please help us… These agencies are corrupt and we are still on the bus fighting like Rosa."
There is little I can do other than direct them to the National Whistleblower Center [11], give the names of lawyers and share a little human empathy. But there is no doubt that under this administration there is a concerted attack against those who dare to expose corruption in government or corporations.
Recently four employees of the Air Force Mortuary in Dover, Delaware, revealed that the Dover Air Force Base mortuary had lost and sawed off body parts and mishandled other remains of America's war dead [12]. Retaliation [13] against them included firings, the placing of employees on indefinite administrative leave, and the imposition of five-day suspensions. Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner has accused the Air Force of deflecting blame — and a mortuary official of lying and obstructing the probe by firing one of the workers who blew the whistle. What remains to be seen is whether Lerner, an Obama political appointee, will distinguish herself from her disgraced predecessor by seriously investigating corruption under this administration.
"No other administration has used this legislation as liberally as President Obama."
At present six whistleblowers are suing the Food and Drug Administration for electronically spying on them when they tried to alert [14] Congress about misconduct at the agency. This is the agency tasked with overseeing public health, food safety, medicines and medical devices. Senator Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) launched an investigation [15] in response to a lawsuit filed [16] by six FDA whistleblowers and documents released [17] by the National Whistleblowers Center that show the FDA targeted whistleblowers for special monitoring and intercepted personal communications to Congress, including emails to Senator Grassley's staff. Senator Grassley, the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg whether or not whistleblowers were singled out for special monitoring based on a letter they wrote to President-Elect Obama's Transition Team [18].
We are waiting to see the Army's reaction to whistleblower Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, who documented [19] in the Armed Forces Journal that senior leaders of the Department of Defense intentionally and consistently misled [20] the American people and Congress about success in the Afghan War.
Those charged under the Espionage Act include:
- Former CIA officer John Kiriakou charged on January 23 for disclosing classified information [21] to journalists about the waterboarding of al-Qaeda suspects. The CIA also found an excuse to fire his wife [22], also employed by the Agency, while she was on maternity leave.
- Thomas Drake an employee of the National Security Agency revealed that it spent $1.2 billion on a contract for a data collection program called Trailblazer when the work could have been done in-house for $3 million [23]. Drake's home was raided at gunpoint and the agency forced him out of his job. He now works at an Apple Store. His attorney told AntiWar.com: "Too often, whistleblowers end up broken, blacklisted, and bankrupted."
- Whistleblower Pvt. Bradley Manning [24], accused of leaking Army and State Department documents to the website WikiLeaks, spent more than a year in a U.S. Marine prison and was denied the chance even to appear in court to defend himself until almost two years after his arrest.
- Former chief military prosecutor at Guantanamo Morris Davis lost his career [25] as a researcher at the Library of Congress for writing a critical op-ed for the Wall Street Journal and a letter to the editor at the Washington Post on double standards at the infamous prison.
- Robert MacClean [26] was charged for blowing the whistle on the Transportation Security Administration.
Van Buren notes in his piece for Tom.Dispatch.Com "My travel vouchers from as far back as the law allows have come under "routine" re-examination. My Internet activity is the subject of daily reports. My credit reports have been examined for who knows what. Department friends who email me on topical issues have been questioned by agents of Diplomatic Security, the State Department's internal police. My Freedom of Information Act request [27] for documents to help defend myself and force State to explain its actions has been buried."
And then we read investigative reports in the Washington Post, as an example, of 33 members of Congress that have steered more than $300 million in earmarks and other spending provisions to dozens of public projects that are next to or within about two miles of the lawmakers' own property. We have yet to hear of action against them.
Freedom of the press and freedom of expression are American constitutional bulwarks. These important elements of the constitution provide protection for truth-tellers as the last defense against tyranny. It is a shame that a legacy of the first African American president is heightened repression against whistleblowers.
See Marsha on C-Span Book/TV at:www.marshacoleman-adebayo.org [28].
Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo is the author of No FEAR: A Whistleblowers Triumph over Corruption and Retaliation at the EPA is available through amazon.com and the National Whistleblower Center. Dr. Coleman-Adebayo worked at the EPA for 18 years and blew the whistle on a US multinational corporation that endangered vanadium mine workers. Marsha's successful lawsuit lead to the introduction and passage of the first civil rights and whistleblower law of the 21st century: the Notification of Federal Employees Anti-discrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 (No FEAR.)

Charity and Terrorism in the Islamic World
J. Millard Burr
Robert O. Collins
University of California, Santa Barbara
Giving to charity is incumbent upon every Muslim. Muslims have always donated to charitable endowments set up for the purposes of promoting Islam through the construction of mosques, schools, and hospitals. In recent years, there has been a dramatic proliferation of Islamic charities. While most of these are legitimate, there is now considerable evidence to show that others have more questionable intentions, and that funds have been diverted to support terrorist groups, such as al-Qaeda. The authors examine the contention through a detailed investigation of the charities involved, their financial intermediaries, and the terrorist organisations themselves. What they discover is that money from these charities has funded conflicts across the world, from the early days in Afghanistan, to subsequent terrorist activities in Asia, Africa, Palestine and, most recently, Europe and the United States. This ground-breaking book is the first to piece together the secret financial systems that support terror.
• A ground-breaking investigation into the practice of Islamic charitable giving
• Authors reveal how some Islamic charitable foundations support terrorism and holy war in the Middle East and beyond
• Thoroughly and painstakingly researched, a compendium of what is known about Islamic charities and the financial systems that support them
1. The third pillar of Islam : zakat ; 2. Saudi Arabia and its Islamic charities ; 3. The banks ; 4. Afghanistan beginnings ; 5. Islamic charities and the revolutionary Sudan ; 6. Islam at war in the Balkans ; 7. The Central Asian crescent and Russia ; 8. From Afghanistan to Southeast Asia ; 9. The Holy Land ; 10. The Islamisation of Europe ; 11. Islamic charities in North America.

Traffic Stop Ends In Suicide In Bozeman – Victim's Name Released [Update]
This is the latest from Bozeman officials:
In the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 29, Wade Christiansen was stopped by a Bozeman Police Officer for a traffic offense. He got out of the vehicle he was driving with a handgun and fatally shot himself.
The death was investigated by the Gallatin County Coroner's Office. Despite the incident being videotaped by more than one officer on scene, the suicide determination was corroborated by a forensic examination at the State Crime Lab.
In the early morning hours, (May 29, 2013) at about 1:26 a.m., a Bozeman Police Officer tried to stop a Jeep Wrangler near West Main Street and 5th Avenue.
The Jeep was speeding, failed to stop for a red light and almost collided with the officer's patrol car.
The Jeep stopped in the middle of the 400 block of West Main Street and the male driver immediately got out with a handgun held to his head.
After a brief interaction with officers the male shot himself in the head. The man was taken to Bozeman Deaconess Hospital by ambulance but did not survive the self-inflicted wound.
Detectives with the Bozeman Police Department are investigating the incident along with the Gallatin County Coroner. The identity of the man will be released by the coroner's office at a later time.

WASHINGTON – It's an online investment offer that targets people looking for a fast buck, but it may be a rip-off instead.
Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler has gone to court in an effort to stop a company called Profitable Sunrise.
He has succeeded in getting a cease-and-desist order against Reef Ltd., an international company that operates Profitable Sunrise, and the two brothers that operate it from the U.K.
Gansler says what Roman and Radoslav Novak are offering is implausible.
They offer both small and large "risk-free" investments to people who back a company. The company pitch, which uses quotes from the Bible, says they give short-term, high-rate loans to businesses in the U.S.
Gansler says Profitable Sunrise is a Ponzi scheme, which also offers bonuses if you lure someone else to invest in it as well.
Nineteen other jurisdictions have joined Maryland in trying to shut down the company.
Gansler says anyone who may have invested in Profitable Sunrise should contact the Securities Division of the Attorney General's office at 410-576-7786.

text: The term may sound unfamiliar to buy e-liquid in the public but it is becoming more common among smokers especially those looking to save money, quit smoking, or help to make a positive impact on the environment. eliquid is becoming more popular as more and more people are turning away from cigarettes and buying vapes because of their high costs, harmful side effects, and failure to be accepted in many public places across the nation. To appear similar to cigarettes, nicotine filled cigarettes that are disposable and often run on rechargeable batteries, release a water vapor cloud to look similar to a second-hand smoke cloud and this is called vaping juice or as also commonly known, eliquid and ejuice.The term vaping refers to the act of "smoking" a vapor releasing electronic cigarette just like the term smoking refers to the act of "smoking" a regular cigarette that releases smoke into the air. Which of the two is better for you is not really known at this time since the electronic cigarettes have not been tested by the FDA, but it is known that the electronic cigarettes do not contain the other the harmful chemicals that are found in regular cigarettes. Vaping is becoming a common trend which is evident by the increase of companies offering the vaping juice and best e-liquid for retail. Companies that are producing and marketing the product are taking advantage of a stressed consumer market hurting from the recent economic recession. With the costs of cigarettes being raised in most states to cover the increasing taxes on the tobacco products, smokers have to make the decision to continue smoking regular cigarettes or turn to a product that ultimately is cheaper but produces the same effect in the body. If you buy eliquid Unlike the nicotine patch, which is visible on the body in clothing that does not cover the location of the patch, or nicotine gum which is labeled as such, electronic cigarettes are not as obvious as other alternative methods to smoking. People are now buying vapes that are designed to look identical to the real thing. Since water vapor comes off of the tip of the cigarette they are no different looking in a person's hand than a regular cigarette is. Smokers who decide to quit smoking and start vaping are able to give the appearance of still being a smoker which will prevent most of the pressure associated with quitting cold turkey. Since vaping is a newer trend it has not gone mainstream at this time. More and more smokers are experiencing the pleasure inhaling the nicotine their body needs with the added incentive of different flavours available when you buy eliquid. Because they are allowed to be used in an indoor public place, companies that produce and sell vapes should soon see profits soar. At this current time, it is unknown if long-term vaping has any serious side effects on health. Since the government is aware of the increasing popularity of vaping, the Food and Drug Administration has expressed growing interest in conducting studies on the effects of vaping juice. For now vaping is legal in all public establishments and the electronic cigarettes are proving to be an inexpensive alternative to purchasing regular cigarettes and many shops sell the best e-liquid or ejuice that money can buy.

Consider a CheckingAccount class, which has acctNo, name , balance, a status field to represent an active or inactive account, a minimum balance field, and a service charge field. If the balance of a checking account falls below the minimum balance, it becomes inactive. No withdrawals may be made until balance is raised above the minimum balance, at which time the account becomes active again. Create appropriate consturctors, accessors, and mutators for the CheckingAccount class. The class should also include the following methods:
withdraw: a method that determines whether the account is inactive before a withdraw is made. (No withdraw will be allowed if the account is not active.) A withdrawal is then made.
deposit: a method that determines whether the account is inactive before a deposit is made. If the account is inactive and the deposit brings the balance over the minimum balance, the account becomes active gain. A deposit is then made.
getMonthlyStatement: a method that prints the account information at the end of each month. If the balance in the account were less than the minimum balance requirement, service fee would be charged. A getMonthlySatement is then made.

Navy officials revealed the alleged gambling related suspension of Vice Adm. Tim Giardina Friday, U.S. Strategic Command's No. 2 officer in charge of the country's nuclear fighting forces.
According to Navy spokeswoman Capt. Pamela Kunze, a law enforcement agency began investigating Giardina June 16 for connection to counterfeit gambling chips from a western Iowa casino. After learning of the investigation a month later on July 16, Strategic Command's head commander, Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, ordered the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to begin a similar investigation into the incident. Keheler ordered Giardina's suspension on Sept. 3 before sending reassignment recommendations to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Giardina, who currently faces no charges or threats of arrest, still works with Strategic Command at a lesser capacity despite the suspension. Giardina is reportedly barred from involvement in nuclear weapons related duties while the internal investigation is ongoing.
Division of Criminal Investigation special agent David Dales, who works at the Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs, Iowa, revealed that the counterfeit chips equaled a "significant monetary amount" but declined to release any further information.
"We were able to detect this one pretty quickly and jump on it," Dales added.
The suspension, which many have called "highly unusual," follows the disturbing report of an illegal nuclear warhead transfer to South Carolina from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, a military installation under the Strategic Air Command. That same day, Senator Lindsay Graham strangely announced that South Carolina would likely be subject to a nuclear attack if the United States did not immediately intervene militarily in Syria.

text: Chris 594 Posted April 27, 2012 One of the fundamental problems with the combat in X-Com and in Xenonauts is with the shooting - all it does is wound or kill units. This may sound trite, but it is an issue in that most weapons can fire in both single shot mode or burst fire mode. In the current incarnation, assuming that you have enough APs to take a burst shot, you should always do that. It provides the highest average damage per AP spent. This doesn't really give you much in the way of tactical options. It's just simple maths as to what fire mode gives the best bang for your APs. It was suggested a month or two ago that we look at the suppression system from JA1.13 for inspiration. Naturally I've been far too busy to actually do that, but the idea of suppression has grown on me enormously over the last few weeks as it provides an obvious solution to the problem above. With suppression implemented, we can have burst fire causing lots of suppression but not actually doing that much damage, while single aimed shots are much more effective at causing damage but don't cause anywhere near as much suppression. It also means we can change the battlefield roles of some weapons a bit - for example, machineguns and the Ferret .50cal. In both cases it's been difficult to balance these to be effective but not overpowered. Giving them very high suppression but perhaps no more actual damage than the sniper rifles would make them useful support weapons but not overpowered in effectiveness. Suppression would be something that is built up with each shot the affects the unit, draining the unit's APs first from his reserves (used for reaction fire) and then from the next turn. With enough units shooting at the same target, it would be entirely possible to pin them in place. Initially I was going to suggest we tied this into morale, but on reflection I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think a soldier who is pinned in position by enemy fire is directly more frightened than one that is not, rather they are keeping their heads down to avoid getting shot. Perhaps we can add a small morale penalty for getting suppressed or pinned, but I don't think the suppression score should use the morale value. Rather, I think each unit should have a Suppression score that is based on his Bravery stat, giving it a common root with Morale but a shared value. This will start at the soldier's Bravery value, which is anything from 50 upwards (as the lowest starting value for any soldier attribute is 50). Each weapon fire mode will have a "suppression damage" value, and when a soldier fires a weapon at a target (irrespective of whether they hit it) the suppression damage will be applied to the target's Suppression score. This is affected by armour as usual, so if the unit has powerful armour it will not be suppressed by firing weak weapons at it. Once Suppression reaches 0, any extra supression damage recieved is first deducted from the unit's AP reserves for the current turn (down to 0) and then from the AP in the following terms (again down to 0). Further suppression is wasted. Maybe we'll have a symbol appearing above the head of the unit to show it has been suppressed? The Suppression score should regenerate a certain amount each turn, perhaps something like 20. That means three turns without being fired at would return any unit to their full Suppression "shield". Anyone got any thoughts, suggestions or improvements? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Campbell`s budget numbers are toast,natural gas prices are in free-fall,productions levels at record highs,inventory way above average,industry and consumer use falls year after year do to new found efficiencies.
The Province was counting on $6.00 to $8.00 dollar natural gas, natural gas futures are down,warm weather has demand plummeting, and the money numbers get worse,the US has natural gas everywhere,Ontario has natural gas,Russia has tons of natural gas,Eastern Canada has natural,even Europe now believes they have natural gas......The price has fallen off a cliff,long term forcasters have the price remaining low for decades.....Gordon Campbell put all his eggs in one basket,Gordon Campbell couldn`t run a lemenade stand......The Campbell Government was expecting big revenue from Royalties,well that isn`t going to happen,all the subsidies and royalty free holidays for producers Gordon Campbell will see a 1/2 billion dollar hole in their forecasts!
Read this Scott Simpson article first, Scott is ringing the alarm bell, then friends I have data from the Mercantile exchange,the Henry hub spot market,you can read for yourself about where Natural gas prices are going. It`s unfortunate that Gordon Campbell sold out our future on speculation,just like IPP power contracts,Gordon Campbell is a complete failure,and guess what friends,Gordon Campbell believes the answere to the Natural gas woes is ">to flood the market with natural gas,my goodness,there is a world/North American glut of natural gas and Campbell wants to dilute the market even more.(read scott Simpson here) http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/business/story.html?id=f10e70e9-d6f9-45d9-9cef-dba882c6cfef&k=45318&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+canwest%2FF261+%28Vancouver+Sun+-+BusinessBC%29

Natural Gas Weekly Update
Released: March 18, 2010 at 2:00 P.M.Next Release: Thursday, March 25, 2010
">Natural Gas Transportation Update"Overview (For the Week Ending Wednesday, March 17, 2010)
Natural gas prices continued declining at market locations across the lower 48 States this week, with spot and futures prices registering sizeable losses for the week ended March 17. Spot prices in the lower 48 States fell between 1 and 6 percent on the week, as weather-related demand for natural gas decreased and supplies remained relatively strong.
The Henry Hub spot price ended the report week yesterday 17 cents lower than the preceding week, at $4.27 per million Btu (MMBtu). Since February 17, the Henry Hub spot price has registered a decrease of $1.20 per MMBtu.
At the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), the futures contract for April delivery at the Henry Hub ended trading yesterday at $4.303 per MMBtu, falling by 26 cents or about 6 percent during the report week.
Natural gas in storage decreased to 1,615 billion cubic feet (Bcf) as of March 12, leaving inventories 4.7 percent above the 5-year average (2005-2009). The implied net withdrawal was 11 Bcf.
Natural gas spot prices continued declining this week, reflecting moderating demand as temperatures warmed in key high-demand areas of the country. Spot prices at market locations across lower 48 States fell since last Wednesday, March 10, with decreases ranging between 4 and 26 cents. Prices at trading locations serving demand centers in the Northeast also fell significantly on the week, as spring-like temperatures arrived. The spot price at the Algonquin Citygate, which delivers natural gas to markets in New England, fell 19 cents or about 4 percent on the week. Transcontinental Pipeline's delivery into New York City was priced at $4.58 per MMBtu yesterday, 18 cents, or 3.8 percent, lower than the previous Wednesday. Prices at trading locations serving markets in California registered some of the biggest declines since last Wednesday, particularly the southern portion of the State where temperatures continued to moderate. Natural gas spot price at the Southern California Gas Company's market location fell 22 cents or about 5 percent since last Wednesday, ending trading yesterday at $4.49 per MMBtu. Prices at the Pacific Gas and Electric trading location, which serves markets in northern California also decreased significantly on the week, falling by 21 cents. However, despite the significant price decline, this location was the highest-priced in the lower 48 States as of yesterday, ending trading at $4.81 per MMBtu. The high price at this location and its spread compared with the Henry Hub and trading locations in the Northeast is the result of several factors. These factors include BENTEK Energy estimates, which show that since the middle of 2009, electric generators in the Western United States have been using more natural gas compared with the 5-year (2005-2009) average. The increased power burn is likely the result of a reduction in hydroelectric power generation in the Pacific Northwest and California because of lower precipitation and drought conditions. Furthermore, natural gas is replacing the 1,100 megawatts of electric power that Unit 2 of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) previously generated. SONGS Unit 2 has been out of service since September 2009 for steam generator replacement. While temperatures in the Rocky Mountain States increased slightly during the report week, they continued to hover in the 30s and 40s. Still, the price of natural gas fell substantially in a few market locations in the Rockies. The highest net weekly price drop occurred at Northwest Pipeline's Sumas location, which fell by 26 cents or 5.7 percent per MMBtu since last Wednesday. The Sumas premium over Henry Hub decreased from 14 cents to 5 cents per MMBtu as of yesterday. Additionally, prices at Kingsgate in Idaho and Stanfield (for delivery into Oregon) fell by 23 and 22 cents per MMBtu, respectively. Overall, trading locations in the Rockies registered net weekly decreases between 4 and 26 cents per MMBtu. The across-the-board price decreases likely resulted from the significant reduction in total U.S. demand. Total demand for the week ended March 17 fell by 8.6 percent compared with last week, according to BENTEK Energy. Consumption in the residential and commercial sectors fell by 12 percent, contributing to the week-to-week decline. The majority of the decrease in this sector occurred between Monday and Wednesday of this week, as temperatures rose in areas east of the Rockies. The electric power and industrial sectors also recorded demand decreases of 8.6 and 2.3 percent, respectively. Natural gas supply exceeded total demand for 3 days this report week, the first time the estimated supply/demand balance was positive since November 26, 2009. However, total natural gas supply fell this week, a result of the decrease in Canadian and liquefied natural gas (LNG) sendout, according to BENTEK. Canadian imports decreased by almost 2 percent compared with last week, while LNG sendout fell by nearly 9 percent over the same period. U.S. natural gas production was flat compared with last week, with volumes totaling only 0.1 percent lower. Total supply of natural gas this week was 0.4 percent lower than last week and 2.2 percent lower than last year for the same week.
At the NYMEX, the price of the near-month contract for April delivery decreased by 26 cents during the report week to $4.303 per MMBtu. The price of the April futures contract has decreased fairly consistently since becoming the near-month contract on February 25, falling 46 cents during the period. Remaining contracts for delivery through the end (October 31, 2010) of the upcoming injection season posted similar decreases, ranging between 4.7 and 5.5 percent. Prices on the futures market likely reflect the arrival of spring-like temperatures and continued strength in natural gas production. With only about 2 weeks left in the traditional heating season, which will officially end on March 31, supplies of natural gas are relatively ample. Robust domestic production coupled with the possibility that natural gas inventories in underground storage may close the heating season at about last year's level could provide considerable downward pressure on prices. Inventories of natural gas in underground storage ended the 2008-2009 heating season at 1,656 Bcf, the highest level since the 2005-2006 heating season ended with 1,692 Bcf of natural gas in storage. The 12-month strip traded yesterday at $4.919 per MMBtu, 22 cents or 4.3 percent lower than last Wednesday.
Working gas in storage decreased to 1,615 Bcf as of Friday, March 12. The implied net withdrawal was 11 Bcf, significantly below both the 5-year (2005-2009) average withdrawal of 65 Bcf, and last year's net withdrawal of 42 Bcf for the report week. The East and West regions both noted net withdrawals for the week; however, storage operators in the Producing region reported the first regional net injection of the season of 14 Bcf. This net injection in the Producing region reduced the storage deficit compared with last year to 135 Bcf, down from 145 Bcf last week. With less than 3 weeks left in the current heating season (November 1-March 31), natural gas stocks in underground storage are on pace to finish the heating season above the 5-year average. If the remaining withdrawals equal the 5-year average withdrawals and injections for the remainder of the month, natural gas stocks would end the heating season at 1,557 Bcf, about 73 Bcf above the 5-year average. Temperatures in the country were generally warmer than normal for the week ended March 11, with total heating degree-days falling short of normal levels by about 10 percent. Based on the National Weather Service's degree-day data, temperatures in the United States were 2 degrees warmer than normal, but 3 degrees colder than last year. Four Census Divisions in the Northeast and the Midwest recorded average temperatures that were more than 5 degrees warmer than normal Temperature Maps and Data. The West South Central Census Division, which roughly coincides with EIA's Producing Region, also experienced above-normal temperatures. Despite relatively warmer temperatures in the Northeast and the Midwest, these areas remained cold and registered the lowest temperatures in the country for the week ended March 11. Elsewhere in the United States, average temperatures ranged between 39 and 67 degrees.
Friends,you don`t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that Campbell latest budget will be out a country mile and the deficit will be larger by hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.

Located near the mouth of the Loxahatchee River, north of Palm Beach, and south of Hobe Sound, this 115 foot high tower with its first-order Fresnel lens was lit in 1860.
Hostile Indians, disease carrying mosquitoes, Civil War, and a host of dramas plagued the construction and maintaining of this light. Open to the public, the Jupiter Inlet Light has a romantic, as well as adventurous history.
After the Civil War, Captain James Armour restored the lens that had been hidden during the war, and remained the light keeper for 40 years. When Capt. Armour?s wife joined him in 1867, she was the only white woman within 100 miles.
The Burt Reynolds Playhouse is nearby, Perry Como lived in neighboring Juno Beach, and finance legend John D. McArthur lived a short stroll away.
