Question Description
Can somebody please guide me the complete process to obtain study visa for Finland? What must I do to get Finnish student visa to study in Finland as an international student?
The process for obtaining study visa for Finland depends on country of residence of the student.
Students from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein don't need to obtain a visa to live, work, or study in Finland.
Students from nation belonging to EU don't require obtaining a visa before their arrival in Finland. To study for less than three months they don't even require taking any permission but if their stay is going to be more than three months, they'll have to register themselves to police. In this case, students will require reason to stay in Finland, sufficient funds to study, and medical insurance certificate.
All the other students must obtain student visa for studying in Finland before they leave their country. Students must apply for Finnish visa in Embassy of Finland or in Finnish Consulate General's office with a filled visa application form and all other required documents for visa.
For more information on visa, students are advised to contact nearest Finnish Diplomatic mission or visit the website of Finnish embassy. The website for Finnish embassy is different for different country.
Some of Finnish Embassy websites are:

Errors hurt short-handed A's in loss to Mariners
Updated 11:04 pm, Saturday, May 9, 2015
SEATTLE — With the A's losing three top players to injuries before the end of April, general manager Billy Beane knew it would be a hard slog for his team until some of those key men returned.
Add to that the maximum number of games played by any team, and, Beane said by phone Saturday, "We've faced a lot of headwinds. We're obviously undermanned, and the schedule has not helped."
Even missing some personnel, the A's defense should be better than it is: On Saturday night at Safeco Field, Oakland made four errors that led to two unearned runs in a 7-2 loss to the Mariners. The A's are firmly in last place in the AL West, 8½ games behind the Astros, the team's third-largest deficit in the division ever after 32 games.
The A's have lost four in a row and their 32 errors are the most in the majors. In the first two games at Seattle, Oakland is 3-for-21 with runners in scoring position, and the team has stranded 20 runners.
Beane's club, with one of the smallest payrolls in baseball, could ill afford to lose closer Sean Doolittle before the season, plus leadoff hitter Coco Crisp and super-utilityman Ben Zobrist in the first month. Crisp is back but just getting into the swing of things, and Doolittle and Zobrist are expected back this month.
Still, if the A's had a few more things go their way — fewer errors, fewer walks by relievers, better luck on replay challenges — they might not be at the bottom of the division. Nine of their 20 losses have come in one-run games.
"We've been on the wrong side of a lot one-run games, and that can be more discouraging than being blown out," Beane said. "But it's actually better. We've just got to battle back, get some guys back from the DL and get guys into their roles."
One-run games can be a fluky thing. The Orioles famously led the league in one-run wins, going 29-9, in 2012 and they went 93-65 and went to the postseason. The next year, with largely the same personnel, they went 20-31 in one-run games and finished 85-77, 12 games back.
"The fact is, we're not going to blow teams away right now playing short," Beane said. "It's more frustrating when you're losing and you can't explain it, but we knew when we starting losing those guys that we had a challenge ahead of us. It doesn't make me happy, but I understand why it is happening. We're going to have to hope the rest of division treads water."
Beane said Saturday afternoon that the team would "look for guys to patchwork into roles" for the time being, and in the evening, the A's acquired reliever Edward Mujica, designated for assignment by Boston last week, for a player to be named or cash considerations. Mujica, who turns 31 on Sunday, was an All-Star in 2013 but was 1-1 with a 4.61 ERA in 11 appearances this year.
Angel Castro, called up Friday, made his major-league debut at the age of 32 and allowed a run-scoring hit by Robinson Cano but also struck out Brad Miller and got Kyle Seager to fly out to the track in center.
A's rookie Mark Canha hit his fifth homer of the season, a solo shot in the eighth, after stranding five runners in his previous three at-bats.

One Soul's Journey: Book 1, The Journey to Me
One Soul's Journey is the true story of one man's mastery over a life filled with anger, ridicule and obsession. For the first thirty-five years of his life, Hunter Kennedy saw and lived only the illusion. The more he pursued that life, the more pain he experienced. Then, during a night he will never forget, he saw that all his life's experiences made sense. Coming to understand how the forces of experience, perception and choice are related in the process of life, he found the meaning of life. He discovered that the real life we are each to live is locked within our souls and true happiness resides there.
In this first book in a trilogy, Hunter offers his story as a way to help others unlock their souls and experience the gift of awareness as he did. Those who are new to the journey will find a worthy trailblazer in Hunter. Seasoned readers of metaphysics and new thought will welcome the fresh, bold perspective of this new voice. All will be surprised and delighted to find that One Soul's Journey takes them farther along their path to understanding the universe than they have ever gone before.

The national anthem sung by Petra Flynn rang out Monday morning over the Carpinteria Cemetery as the local ceremony began in observance of Memorial Day.
The crowd of about 60 people gathered in a far corner of the cemetery, with their hands raised to their hearts or in salute, facing an American flag blowing gently in the cool breeze and popping brightly against the blue of the sky.
"For many people, Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer," master of ceremonies Peter Bie said. "But for many others, it is a day to honor those who fought and died for our country."
The ceremony continued with a variety of speakers, including Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, who emphasized that commitment to the country doesn't end with soldiers but extends to those back home.
"The debt we owe is beyond measure," she said. "At this time of economic stress, it is even harder for our veterans coming home. We can leave no soldier, no veteran behind."
From families with young children to elderly parents and middle-age sons and daughters, veterans of all generations and active-duty members attended the ceremony.
With the mountains providing a backdrop for the ceremony, American flags were held lightly in hands while Navy kerchiefs from loved ones lost were gripped in fists and medals of honor glittered in the sunlight.
Heads were bowed and it was silent except for the wind and solemn sound of bagpipes playing as the names of Carpinteria veterans killed in action were read aloud.
The ceremony concluded with the presentation of wreaths and flowers, a three-gun salute and the playing of "Taps."
Another ceremony to observe the holiday was held in the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Barbara, which had its largest turnout in years for a Memorial Day service. People lined the walls as the ceremony began with a brief address from former Marine and Santa Barbara County Supervisor Salud Carbajal, who served as master of ceremonies.
"There's a price for freedom always," he told Noozhawk. "Today, we honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Today we honor their selfless service."
Capps spoke at the Veterans Memorial Building as well and presented Army Staff Sgt. Ronald Zuleta with the Purple Heart for injury suffered in Iraq.
Zuleta, who remains on active duty, has served in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. Born in the Philippines and raised in Chicago, he said his love of the beach brought him to Santa Barbara. Zuleta at first denied the honor of the Purple Heart, according to Capps, because he didn't want to "make a big deal" while he and his fellow soldiers were still focused on their duties.
After Zuleta received his honor, keynote speaker Dr. C. Allan Brown took the podium, speaking about his service as a medical officer in Afghanistan from October 2009 to June 2010. He began his service at age 53 and was deployed to Afghanistan at age 59.
Brown, who is also a cardiovascular doctor in Santa Barbara, was inspired by his son Daniel, who became a pilot after graduating from Dartmouth College and currently serves in the TOPGUN program. Daniel Brown has received seven air combat medals and recently returned from his third tour to Iraq.
Allan Brown's wife, Sally, and daughter Lauren created Santa Barbara Angels, a group that sends care packages to local active duty servicemen and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The Browns are certainly a family that epitomizes service to our country," Carbajal said.
Allan Brown spoke in detail about his participation in Operation Enduring Freedom. He mostly worked in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, where he provided health care and worked to establish village medical outreach programs to Afghani communities with "40 to 50 percent infant mortality rates and 44 years mortality."
"The average Afghan woman has seven children with the expectancy they won't all survive," he said.
Brown also worked with local farmers, whose main crop was opium poppies when the Marines first arrived. They worked with the farmers and because of those efforts, only wheat now will be grown. The Marines trained the Afghanis to be able to continue this farm work after they left.
Brown ended his speech by honoring those who didn't return from his unit: Sgt. Major Robert Cottle, a member of the Los Angeles Police Department's elite SWAT unit killed by a roadside bomb, and Petty Officer Zon Chee, a University of Texas engineering student killed by a suicide bomber in January.
The ceremony concluded with the presentation of wreaths, the playing of "Taps" by Howard Hudson and the benediction including a list of local casualties.
As the time came for lunch, the room began to empty. Two men, however, remained seated at a table, talking. Col. James Wasil, a World War II veteran, and Russell Clay Ruiz, who served on Submarine Bluefish nearly 30 years ago, were engrossed in conversation.
Wasil, who taught for 20 years at Santa Barbara High School, fought with the 83rd Infantry throughout "the boot" of Italy during WWII. After the war, he returned home in 1945 and remained in the reserves. He then went from being an inspector general in California and West Point in New York to working for the Pentagon before retiring. Originally from Akron, Ohio, Wasil served the country for 38 years.
Ruiz is a former student of Wasil's and catches up with his old teacher yearly at the Memorial Day event.
"Memorial Day means remembering my oldest brother who was killed in combat in North Africa in 1943," Wasil said. "It reminds me of two of my nephews killed in Vietnam. It reminds me of my own son who served in the Navy in Vietnam. It reminds me of the men in Europe who I served with and were killed. To me, the heroes are the ones that never came back. I'm no hero. Lost relatives and lost buddies — that's what all these guys will say to you. They're the heroes."

Helen McGlone had been on the point of getting her first job as a quant – or more formally quantitative analyst – with a City financial institution.
Though little known outside of the trading floors, the role of quants is increasingly taking over the world's financial capitals.
Investment decisions are no longer being made by financiers, but increasingly by PhD mathematicians and the computer programmes they devise. Instead of relying on dealers who relied on research, experience and gut instinct to make deals, firms now employ statisticians to track patterns or trends in trading behaviour and create formulae to predict market movements.
These formulae are then fed into powerful computers that buy and sell automatically according to triggers generated by the algorithms.

Jail gets new commissary ATM
Published 4:46 am, Tuesday, November 3, 2015
The commissary process at the Hale County Jail just went high-tech as the facility has introduced convenience to themselves and to the families of inmates with a new touchscreen system.
"It goes directly into the inmate's account, and it's a little bit more convenient for everybody," said jail administrator A.J. Bonner as he gave a digital tour of the new JailATM kiosk located in the lobby of the Hale County Jail.
The ATM style machine allows families to deposit money directly into the commissary accounts of inmates with a simple swipe of a card or by inserting cash.
With English and Spanish options, the ATM gives simple, step-by-step instructions on how to deposit money into an inmate's account with a debit or credit card or by inserting cash into the machine.
Inmates staying at the Hale County Jail can then use the commissary money to purchase special items not usually provided by detention centers, including soups, candy bars, T-shirts, gym shoes and special hygiene products.
In the past, families could only deposit money for commissary via money order checks.
Jail staff would then fill out the paperwork for the money and post the amounts into the inmates' account books.
"This is cutting down on paper work and saving a lot of man hours for us," Bonner said.
"The families like it because it's saving them from leaving visitation, going to Allsup's, getting a money order and then coming back."
After the family deposits the money into the ATM, the machine prints out a receipt. Inmates can then check their balance by calling a special number with the phones located in the actual jail units. Inmates also use these phones to order their commissary.
Bonner said the ATM machines are growing in popularity in both small and large jails across the country.
The JailATM system did not cost the Hale County Jail for installation or operation, however a service charge of about $3 is added to all deposits, similar to the fee associated with withdrawing from ATMs in the public.
The Hale County Jail will continue to accept money orders for commissary. Bonner said the Hale County Jail holds many inmates from outside the county and state, and mailing money orders is more convenient for those families.

Comments on http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH-0414 In the suggestions for revision which follow, I have first quoted the existing text and then indicated the proposed change, preceded, for clarity, with "JW:". Abstract: "Tools that generate documents in HTML (authoring tools, file conversion packages or other products) should produce documents that follow these guidelines. JW: "Software that generates documents in HTML, including authoring tools, file conversion packages, data base applications etc., should produce markup that complies with these guidelines." Rating and Classification: "This strategy takes advantage of features being incorporated into tomorrow's browsers and assistive technologies (that incorporate Web Access Initiative [sic] recommendations." JW: ""This strategy takes advantage of features being incorporated into tomorrow's browsers and assistive technologies (that take advantage of emerging standards and Web Accessibility Initiative recommendations." Style and Structure: "Use style sheets rather than converting text to images." JW: Shouldn't this guideline be categorised as "required"? If text is represented as an image, it can not be read by assistive technologies. "Documents that use style sheets for presentation allow users to adjust the look of the document (e.g., larger print, color contrast, etc.) through personal style sheets or browser settings." JW: "Documents that use style sheets for presentation allow users to adjust the appearance of the text (e.g., larger print, color contrast, etc.) through personal style rules or browser settings." "Structural elements enforce consistency in documents and supply information to other tools (e.g., indexing tools, search engines, [...]" JW: Automatic translation software should be mentioned here. "To test if the text and background contrast is sufficient enough [sic] to be read [...]" JW: This is a tautology. It should say: "sufficient to be read". Section 2: "Each image should have alternative text that represents [...]" JW: "Each image should have a textual alternative that represents [...]" "Provide a longer description for graphics that present important information (especially charts, tables, and diagrams)." JW: Is it right to mention tables here? After all, a table is supposed to be represented by proper HTML markup, not as an in-line graphic. Undoubtedly, it is appropriate to include a summary of the table (for instance by means of the SUMMARY attribute), but this is not relevant to the present discussion of images. "The D-link links to a page or a phrase at the bottom of the page with a longer description of the graphic." JW: "The D-link links to a separate page or a phrase? [should this be "paragraph?"] at the bottom of the current document which gives a longer description of the image." "One final possibility is to create an alternative page that is accessible." JW: Since we are discouraging the use of alternative pages, this should not be mentioned here. It belongs in the "if all else fails" section only. Perhaps the discussion of "images used as links" and ASCII art should precede the detailed treatment of image maps. Those who are reading the document quickly may assume that the remainder of the section is concerned with image maps only, and could therefore miss the important guidelines at the end. Section 3: "More information is available through the Java Accessibility page at the Trace Center." JW: "More information is available from the references cited at the end of this section." Under "For more information", include a reference to the Trace Java accessibility page. "Note. More exploration is needed in this area. Please stay tuned." JW: Is this proviso still necessary? Section 4: "A text transcript of the video descriptions [sic] provides the same information as in recommendation 4.2, but in a text format." JW: This should read: "transcript of the video description". The phrase "but in a text format" does not convey much information and is implied by the term "text transcript". Perhaps a better explanation could be provided. Section 5: "This will be particularly useful for future speaking technologies that will read row and column labels for each cell." JW: "[...] that can read row and column labels [...]" "[...] are especially useful for non-visual users." JW: This should say: "non-visual readers". Section 6: Should the discussion of images used as links be moved into this section of the document? At least, it should be referred to explicitly, along with the existing reference to the guidelines concerning image maps. "For example, when associated with a link, it takes the user to the associated document." JW: "[...] it takes the user to the destination document." (this sentence needs further attention). Section 7: "Please refer to the example in the Central Reference Document." JW: Since the page authoring guidelines are intended to be relatively self- contained, this illustration should be given in the appendix, along with the examples of tables, ALT text, etc. Section 8: find and exploit synonyms for the word "associate". "Associate labels with their form controls. Labels can be associated explicitly using the "for" attribute of the LABEL element." JW: The second sentence should read: "This can be achieved using the "for" attribute of the LABEL element, as shown in the following example.". "The "for" attribute of the LABEL element allows explicit association." JW: This sentence is redundant and should be deleted. "Include default, place-holding characters in edit boxes and text areas." JW: The classification of this guideline, namely "interim" should precede this sentence instead of following it. The same suggestion holds in respect of the next guideline as well. Appendix: "The following example shows how to associate header information with the "headers" attribute." JW: "The following example shows how to associate data cells with their corresponding headers by means of the "headers" attribute defined in HTML 4.0." Edit the following sentence, as required, to avoid redundancy. "A speech synthesizer might render by speaking the following:" JW: "A speech synthesizer might render this table as follows:" "The following example associates the same header and data information as the previous example, but uses the "scope" attribute rather than "headers." JW: "The next example associates the same header and data cells as before, but this time uses the "scope" attribute rather than "headers"." "This example might be rendered by a speech synthesizer as the previous example." JW: "It should be noted that the spoken rendering of this table would be identical to that of the previous example; a choice between the HEADERS and SCOPE attributes is dependent on the complexity of the table and considerations of convenience for the author, but does not affect the output so long as the relationships between header and data cells are made clear in the markup." "Appendix B" JW: Either make this into a sub-heading of a single appendix, or rename the preceding section "Appendix A". At present, the latter is simply entitled "Appendix". If two or more appendices are to be created, then the references to "the appendix" in the body of the document need to be updated. "In general, authors should specify alternative text that describes the function of the graphic or image and not its visual appearance." JW: The purpose of the ALT text is not to "describe" the function of the graphic but to be a substitute which achieves the same function as the image. "[...] what would you say upon encountering this image or graphic to make the page comprehensible to the listener?" JW: The phrase "or graphic" in this sentence is redundant. "Note. Providing alternative text for images embedded with the OBJECT element is a different beast and will be covered in the future." JW: To the contrary, this topic should be briefly discussed now. The essential principles are the same as for long descriptions, except that the textual alternative will be displayed as an integral component of the document rather than as a link to a separate page. If the textual alternative is particularly long or inessential to the reader's comprehension of the document as a whole, the author may wish to emulate the LONGDESC attribute by including in the OBJECT element a link to a separate page containing a description of the image (an example could be provided here if necessary). Unordered lists: since CSS 2 allows audible cues to precede bulleted list items, the recommendation that ALT text such as "item" be included, should be marked as interim, and a note should be added mentioning audio style properties. Ordered lists: Since user agents are supposed to generate the item numbering automatically,, the inclusion of this information in ALT text is surely redundant and potentially confusing. A null ALT attribute should be used instead.Received on Saturday, 25 April 1998 23:53:36 UTC

For: Immediate ReleaseContact: Shelley Lavender310.476.9777 ext.201 firstname.lastname@example.com April 7, 2009
"REMEMBRANCE/YOM HASHOAH"New Art Exhibit at American Jewish University
American Jewish University announced today that the "REMEMBRANCE/YOM HASHOAH" art exhibition, featuring the work of Bill Aron, Carol Inez Charney, Ruth Snyder, and Mitzi Trachtenberg, will open on April 19, 2009 at American Jewish University's Platt and Borstein Galleries. The exhibit will be on view through July 12, 2009, and the public is invited to meet the artists at a free opening reception on Sunday, April 19, between 3:00 and 5:00 pm.
Bill Aron and Carol Inez Charney's photographs, Ruth Snyder's sculpture, and Mitzi Trachtenberg's collages reflect upon the darkest period of recent human history.
Carol Inez Charney's series of photographs, Marked for Life, uses the context of the cinema to present real people who have experienced the incomprehensible and survived. Mitzi Trachtenberg injects reality by incorporating fragments of documents, personal letters, photos, and genealogy charts in her collage compositions in the Lifeline Series. Ruth Snyder presents universal themes in bronze sculpture. Her work, Ghetto Wall, represents man's intrinsic yearning to survive in the face of overwhelming odds.
The intent of Bill Aron's photographic project was to go beyond the Holocaust and show survivors in the fullness of their lives; to show that not only did they survive, but they established families, prospered, and gave back to their communities.
Speaker Hannelore Hillman, survivor and author, will share her unique personal story at the opening on Sunday, April 19, from 3 to 5 pm. The public is invited free of charge to this special event and reception for the artists in the Platt and Borstein Galleries at American Jewish University located at 15600 Mulholland Drive, just off the 405 freeway in the Sepulveda Pass cultural corridor.
Gallery hours are Sunday through Thursday 10 am to 4 pm, Friday 10am to 2 pm. Parking is free. For more information about this exhibit, or to schedule a guided tour, please call (310) 476-9777 ext. 201.

Actually, the change I made, in the example here, WAS made with my Smart Phone. I was on the road, so when I did the TreeSync™ when I got home, I printed that report for my clean up. Worked as expected.

What is nice, is that IF more than one person worked on the AMT, I will know who did what.

Hope that helped.

U.S. plan to slash global spread of AIDS
Updated 11:00 pm, Thursday, November 29, 2012
Washington --
In an ambitious road map for slashing the global spread of AIDS, the Obama administration says treating people sooner and more rapid expansion of other proven tools could help even the hardest-hit countries begin turning the tide of the epidemic over the next three to five years.
"An AIDS-free generation is not just a rallying cry - it is a goal that is within our reach," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who ordered the blueprint, said in the report.
"Make no mistake about it, HIV may well be with us into the future, but the disease that it causes need not be," she said at the State Department Thursday.

Some 34 million people worldwide are living with HIV, and despite a decline in new infections over the last decade, 2.5 million people were infected last year.
Given those staggering figures, what does an AIDS-free generation mean? That virtually no babies are born infected, young people have a much lower risk than today of becoming infected, and that people who already have HIV would receive lifesaving treatment.
That last step is key: Treating people early in their infection, before they get sick, not only helps them survive but also dramatically cuts the chances that they'll infect others. Yet only about 8 million HIV patients in developing countries are getting treatment. The United Nations aims to have 15 million treated by 2015.
Other important steps include: Treating more pregnant women, and keeping them on treatment after their babies are born; increasing male circumcision to lower men's risk of heterosexual infection; increasing access to both male and female condoms; and more HIV testing.
The world spent $16.8 billion fighting AIDS in poor countries last year. The U.S. government is the leading donor, spending about $5.6 billion.
Thursday's report from the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief outlines how progress could continue at current spending levels or how faster progress is possible with stepped-up commitments from hard-hit countries.
Zambia, which is seeing some declines in new cases of HIV, will have to treat only 145,000 more patients over the next four years to meet its share of the U.N. goal, a move that could prevent more than 126,000 new infections.

Dr. Jay Harness explains what stage 3 breast cancer is and what patients can expect when diagnosed with a stage 3 breast cancer.
Jay K. Harness, MD: Stage 3 breast cancer. Another definition of stage 3 breast cancer is locally advanced breast cancers. These are typically large tumors with lymph node positivity. So in the tumor lymph node staging system, this is often T3 meaning greater than 5 cm in size and certainly at a minimum N1 meaning at least one lymph node that is positive. Another possibility to become stage 3 is to have multiple lymph nodes involved which means four or more lymph nodes involved. So stage 3 breast cancer by definition requires multimodality treatment. So the batting order of the treatments can certainly vary, but often it is chemotherapy first, followed then by some type of surgery, followed then by radiation therapy, followed if somebody is estrogen receptor positive by anti-hormonal therapy. It is a real step-up in the staging of breast cancer. It requires multimodality treatment and it is very treatable.
Dr. Jay K. Harness is a board certified surgeon currently treating patients at St. Joesph Hospital in Orange, CA. Dr. Harness specializes in complete breast health, breast cancer surgery, oncoplastic reconstruction, genetic screening, management of breast health issues, risk assessment and counseling. Dr. Harness is the medical director for Breast Cancer Answers.com, and guides this first ever social media show's information by drawing on his former leadership experience as the President of the American Society of Breast Surgeons and Breast Surgery International. Dr. Harness graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1969 and spent time early on in his career at the University of Michigan Medical Center.

The Seven Points of Obama's Cairo Speech
United States President Barack Obama is carrying the dove of peace. The dove is in a cage, surrounded by the guards of ignorance, prejudice, deep anger, and fear. President Obama would like to release the dove – but he knows he must first educate the guards. The President is in the middle east, holding the cage of the dove high for all to see. President Obama is defining the guards who prevent the freedom of peace. After laying the cornerstone of humanity united, President Obama identified seven specific areas of necessity.
- "The first issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms."
- 'The second major source of tension that we need to discuss is the situation between Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab world."
- "The third source of tension is our shared interest in the rights and responsibilities of nations on nuclear weapons."
- "The fourth issue that I will address is democracy."
- "The fifth issue that we must address together is religious freedom."
- "The sixth issue that I want to address is women's rights."
- "Finally, I want to discuss economic development and opportunity."
President Obama was not just lecturing the folks in the Middle East – he was speaking to all Americans.
Christian violent extremism in America has led to acts of terror on others – from the wacky Phelps of Topeka, Kansas, to the murder of Doctor Tiller – by chance also in Kansas. Other extremists in America center their attention on single issues – particularly around 'the right to bear arms.'
The Israeli and Palestinian conflict is distorted in America. There is a presumption of guilt applied to the Palestinians – the presumption is based on ignorance and fear. Most of the extremists in America do not understand this conflict, and they presume that any concession to the Palestinians is detrimental to the security of the United States.
Nuclear Weapons have haunted humanity for sixty plus years. While nuclear weapons have not been used in sixty years the horrific consequences are more than any Government has been willing to cause. Our times have changed – less stable Governments seek nuclear power, terrorist organizations seek nuclear power, The United States, China, France, Russia, India, and Pakistan possess enough nuclear bombs to destroy all of humanity. President Obama recognizes this insanity – and he is not alone – the problem is how to eradicate this threat to humanity. While the President spoke in general terms – it was clear that Iran was a specific target of his words – Iran will not be allowed to possess a nuclear bomb.
President Obama used the word 'democracy.' He certainly articulates his intent better than I – but essentially he said that all people have a right to a government that supports basic freedoms – freedoms that are defined by the people. President Obama was in no way suggesting that we should impose any form of government on any other country.
As the President spoke of religious freedom my mind wandered from the middle east to the conflict of religion in America. Fundamentalist Christians rebel whenever our government insures equal opportunity for all faiths on government property. Ironically, these same 'Christians' whine and cry about religious dictates in Muslim dominated countries. The Christian extremists are no different that the Muslim extremists.
When the President speaks of women's rights he is adamant that he has no intention of dictating culture. The President is merely calling for equal opportunities for women in all countries. The term, 'equal opportunity,' raises the hackles of some in America. Regrettably, bureaucratic missteps in enforcing an open society, equal for all regardless of race or gender or faith, have caused some disastrous injustice. But we must look at the whole, and learn from the individual cases of injustice. President Obama stresses the rights of women as essentially the right to equal education. Education is seen as an inoculation against injustice. We agree.
We live in a global economy. Some of the wacky right talk of a 'new world order' and fight any concept of global inclusion. Conspiracy theories abound. The reality of the world economy of 2008 and 2009 is the most clear demonstration of the need for economic success in all countries. The global economy happened while many were busy complaining about school prayer and the right to own a machine gun. Our reality today is a need to organize and cooperate on an economic global scale.
We are somewhat surprised that the President did not mention global climate change and the need for all to work together to minimize the harm humanity does to the Earth's atmosphere. Perhaps the President was smart enough to know that this particular venue was floating on a sea of oil. Probably not a good place to critique the use of fossil fuels.
Again – thefiresidepost.com is proud of our President. We are proud that he speaks truth – sparing none from reality.
Are these seven points the beginning or outline of an Obama Doctrine?

Public Enemy's Chuck D and Flava Flav, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Busta Rhymes, MC Lyte, and Phife (from A Tribe Called Quest) have teamed up to write and record the theme for the ESPY Awards, to take place July 16th at Hollywood's Kodak Theater. Calling themselves "the Spitballers," the rappers and rockers contributed the song "Let's Get Loud."
"The song basically shows how much musicians love sports and vice versa," says Chuck D, who first partnered with ESPN last year to do the theme for its Sunday Night Baseball show. "And that we can translate that love directly into a song."
Chuck hopes that love will last forever. "The goal here is that this song has afterlives," he says, "as a strong song unto itself and as an arena and stadium theme for years to come."
The ESPY's will open with a video of the song that will feature a mix of sports highlights and footage of the musicians. Chuck D's lyrical mention of drawing blood will be synched up with video footage of Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ear. After the video is shown, Chuck D will perform the track live at the awards show.
Comedian Jamie Foxx will host the show, which is ESPN's annual celebration of the best achievers and moments in sports.
As for Chuck D's all-time best sports moment? Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's home run record in 1974. "I waited three years, especially after Hank hit forty-seven homers in 1971," he says. "Up 'til then I thought Willie Mays was gonna do it."

is "3-4 years experience" a mandatory or nice to have to appear/achieve OCM for 11g
No, Its not mandatory but rather Oracle recommends you to have the same experience, and its just nice to have concept and which can determine that you the enough technical capability to work towards Oracle products.
The answer is in your post.:
It is highly recommended that participants have a minimum of 3 – 4 years of Oracle database administrator experience.
Best of Luck for the exams!!!
Thanks &

Thanks Asif.
Why I am confused is because of last line in section 3 which has a heading of "Required Prerequisites" which states "Candidates should have a minimum of 3 – 4 years of Oracle database administrator experience.".
My confusion is because in the same document, at one location it is with word "recommended" and then again a little later, it states "required".
I am confused between "required" and "recommended".

I don't think Oracle ask for an experience letter of DB Administration, but rather they are more concerned of the 02 Advanced Course Submission forms. So this should clear your doubt as they dont pursue for experince letters.
Best Regards mate!!!
4. Re: Oracle Certifieed Master 11g Pre-requisitesBrandye Barrington-Oracle Aug 27, 2013 2:49 PM (in response to Asif Muhammad)
Just to confirm - the experience is not a requirement that we check (like training and passing exams). However, it would be very difficult to pass the exam without 3-4 years experience.

Thank Asif and Brandye.
That clarifies my doubt. I am going to use one strategy to prepare for OCM and that will be practice practice and practice.

Linebacker Philip Wheeler to visit Raiders
Published 4:00 am, Friday, March 30, 2012
Colts free-agent linebacker Philip Wheeler tweeted Thursday that he will visit with the Raiders.
"On my way to Oakland to see the Raiders," he wrote. "Which team would be better fit for me this season? This is a tuff career choice."
Wheeler was then swarmed with hundreds of messages from fans urging him to join the Raiders.
"Dang Raider Nation ain't no joke," he wrote. "They deep. Lol."
Wheeler, 27, started 11 games for the Colts last season and had 84 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble. Pro Football Focus ranked him 12th among all 4-3 outside linebackers last season. Mostly viewed now as a run-stopper, Wheeler was a pass rushing specialist at Georgia Tech and contributed 19 sacks.
Wheeler, who moved to outside linebacker last season, visited the Dolphins last week, and the Colts are interested in bringing him back.
Briefly: Free-agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove agreed to a contract with the Packers. Terms were not disclosed. The team also finalized a contract with cornerback and special teams ace Jarrett Bush, who agreed to terms last week. ... The Broncos re-signed versatile free-agent defensive end Jason Hunter. Hunter has played in all 32 regular season games and both playoff games for the Broncos since joining the team in 2010. ... Defensive tackle Antonio Garay agreed to a two-year contract to remain with the Chargers. Garay started 28 games the past two seasons.

Martin Keown interview - Squad is to blame
In an exclusive interview with footballaudio.com, former Arsenal stalwart Martin Keown claims Arsene Wenger 'over-estimated' his squad's ability this season, which has resulted in a sixth consecutive season without silverware.
Keown, who also won 43 caps for England and was part of both double winning sides Wenger has put together, believes it's been a massive opportunity the Gunners have missed with the league season so open, and thinks the players have let the manager and fans down.
Having lost the League Cup Final back in February, Arsenal then found themselves out of the Champions League and FA Cup in the following weeks, whilst their title challenge faltered at key times.
Meanwhile we hear Keown's views on new owner Stan Kroenke, who Keown believes could be the perfect partner for Wenger in the transfer market.

The Tony Trischka Band
at Long's Park, Lancaster, Pa.
(5 August 2001)
For some folks, a banjo may conjure images of lazy evenings on a ramshackle porch, lemonade in a pitcher, a lazy dog at your feet and old-time tunes lifting up to the sky.
But Tony Trischka dispelled the stereotypes Sunday evening by demonstrating licks of a different sort to an awed crowd at the Long's Park Amphitheater in Lancaster, Pa.
The mugginess of the day and the hazy threat of a cooling rain (which never arrived) may have kept attendance down, but for the 5,000 or so who came out for the free show at Long's Park, it was a night of memorable music.
Trischka, who helped virtuoso Bela Fleck learn his banjo chops, continues to prove his expertise with his trademark hybrid of bluegrass and jazz, with rock attitudes mixed in for good measure. Joined onstage by a topnotch band, Trischka combatted the humid air with a cool blend of roots styles. (He proposed enclosing the park in Plexiglas and pumping in chilled air, but park officials didn't comply.)
Wearing a black-and-blue outfit that matched perfectly the colors of his electric banjo, Trischka opened the evening with a laid-back, ambling duet for banjo and drums -- gradually picking up the other instruments along the way. Then they cranked up the energy for an extended, high-powered jam, pulling back in the final moments for a quiet stroll.
Trishka switched to an acoustic banjo (as the bass player switched from an upright to an electric) for the second jam, by which time the audience seemed thoroughly hooked.
Besides Trischka, the Tony Trischka Band is Michael Amendola on alto and soprano saxophones and flute, Rolf Sturm on electric guitar and vocals, Kermit Driscoll on upright and electric basses, and Scott Neumann on drums.
The band flowed next into the aptly named "Half Crazy with the Heat," a Trischka composition which added subtle vocals by Sturm -- the words seeming less important than the extra layer they added to the tune. Next up was "Quasi Koti," a new piece by Amendola, who swapped saxophone for flute for a Far Eastern sound. Then it was the interestingly bearded Sturm's turn to show off his songwriting skills in the blues-shuffle "Forty-Four."
To this point, the show focused primarily on the band's jazz and jazzy rock sounds. But then everyone cleared the stage while Trischka went back to his bluegrass roots for a solo medley including the theme from the "Beverly Hillbillies," "Rocky Top," "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and "Dueling Banjos" -- the latter of which, since Trischka was alone onstage, required the audience to supply the answering riffs.
Later, Trischka again went "back to the well" for "Earl's Breakdown," a tune by bluegrass pioneer Earl Scruggs. For variety, he followed it up with a solo medley of Beatles tunes ("A Hard Day's Night," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "Mother Nature's Son" and "Drive My Car"). John Lennon's first instrument was the banjo, Trischka noted, and he initially tuned his guitar like a banjo. "Then Paul McCartney came along and ruined everything by teaching him how to tune it like a guitar," Trischka lamented. "There's no telling how far the Beatles would have gone otherwise."
He played the Beatles' tunes with finesse, silently mouthing the words, perhaps hoping to encourage the audience to sing along. A few people caught on.
Trischka spent much of the show playing to a small gaggle of children gathered at the foot of the stage. He and his bandmates also seemed to enjoy their own interactions as much as the performance itself.
Fans who already have everything on Trischka's extensive discography took heart when he announced a new project in the works. Tentatively titled New Deal, the Rounder release is expected out this winter, he said. The band then provided a sample, Amendola's new composition "Big Poppa Rides Again," which closed out the show.
Pulled back to the stage by the crowd's applause, the band launched into one final number, the title track from Trischka's latest album, Bend, before calling it a night.

Guest post written by
Bingham C. Jamison
Mr. Jamison served in the Iraq War as a Marine Corps Intelligence Officer.
As opposition to the Obama Administration's handling of last month's prisoner swap continues to reverberate, it is clear that the criticism being levied against the president is not confined to a particular demographic or a single political party – instead, the frustration is pervasive across much of America. Citizens from all walks of life, ranging from the working class to their elected officials (both Democrats and Republicans alike), have expressed varying degrees of consternation with the president.
What is it about this situation that has prompted such a widespread and visceral reaction? Why is it so particularly unsettling to such a diverse group of people?
The most vocal critics have focused their complaints on the following six troubling issues: that Bergdahl allegedly deserted his post in Afghanistan back in 2009; that six soldiers are thought to have died while on missions attempting to locate Bergdahl; that the president failed to seek approval from Congress for the prisoner swap; that we left chips on the table in the deal by trying to appease the Taliban with a lopsided 5-for-1 trade; that we endangered our remaining service members in Afghanistan because of the likelihood that some, if not all, of the five Taliban will return to the battlefield; and finally that we negotiated with terrorists.
Some critics are fundamentally opposed to the president's deal because of one (or more) of the concerns listed above. Others are merely unnerved by the deal without knowing precisely why. All of us, to one degree or another, have been affected by the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl's release.
Back in May 2012, I wrote an article for TIME examining a newly-publicized deal (at the time) to trade five high-level Taliban commanders being held at GITMO for Sgt Bowe Bergdahl, a now-familiar narrative following last month's prisoner swap. In it I made reference to the internal conflict I was experiencing as I pondered the prisoner exchange, from my perspective as a father (willing to do anything to bring a captured son home) juxtaposed against my perspective as a Marine (unwilling to negotiate with terrorists).
Despite having more than two years to emotionally resolve the competing prerogatives of father vs. Marine, my inability to rectify this clear disparity in the wake of Bergdahl's release has intensified my internal strife and filled me with additional unrest. My duty as a father, in this situation, is fundamentally at odds with my duty as a Marine -- I am stuck in moral purgatory, and it is quite unsettling.
Psychologists call this discomfort cognitive dissonance – as defined by Webster, cognitive dissonance is the excessive mental stress experienced by someone who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time. Likewise, it is the discomfort experienced by an individual who holds a particular belief and performs a contradictory action.
The Bergdahl dilemma, which has been thrust into our lives by the 24-hour breaking news phenomenon, has introduced much of our population for the first time to the moral confusion inherent to war.
With the exception of its combat veterans, the vast majority of our population is unaccustomed to confronting some of the disturbing, morally confusing, and often lose-lose circumstances experienced at war. We tend to insulate ourselves from things we don't understand, and similarly try to avoid thinking about situations that cause us philosophical confusion, because that imbalance gives us angst. Humans by their very nature strive for internal consistency – we can't stand the discomfort of sustained uncertainty – so concepts that threaten our internal harmony are both intimidating and overwhelming.
In fact, we teach our children from day-one about the clear line between right and wrong, about good versus bad. Rarely do we, as a society, examine the soul-crushing impact of having to choose between the lesser of two evils, especially if that decision entails choosing one life over another. In peace, there is black and white, right and wrong -- in war, however, as the Bergdahl situation proves, there is only varying shades of gray.
It is more than disquieting to be confronted with a no-win scenario, as there is rarely closure for someone forced to choose the least-worst option in an unwinnable situation. Ruminating about whether the right decision was made, or whether a better outcome was ultimately possible, is a haunting (and never-ending) process for the unlucky soul charged with making such a tough decision –the mental torment of cognitive dissonance, and its deleterious effects on the human spirit, can last forever.
In the fall of 2004, while commanding a small team of Marine intelligence operatives along Iraq's untamed western border with Syria, I found myself in a morally confusing and ethically challenging situation – although thankfully never publicized in the media (until now), my scenario was similar in many ways to what the president would eventually encounter with the Bergdahl dilemma.
Charged with providing the human intelligence for a Marine infantry battalion operating in a hostile and unforgiving environment, the grunts literally lived or died based on how well we performed our job of taking down terrorist cells, locating buried IEDs, and preventing enemy attacks. But in order to recruit local sources and interview enemy detainees, we were forced to rely on Arabic-speaking interpreters who could translate Iraqis' Arabic into English and vice versa – without these security clearance-wielding "terps," we would have been completely ineffective and unable to perform our job.
Our battalion was taking regular casualties, but more and more Marines would have died without the support of our Arabic-speaking contractors – and so when the lone remaining terp in western al Anbar Province tried to leave my team and quit, I was forced to take drastic action to ensure we remained operational…the lives of hundreds of Marines were potentially on the line.
You see, several of my terps had only recently quit because of the extreme danger of our mission (a terp was killed on a raid a few months prior), and several others were back in the US on leave, which left me to rely on a single man – "John" – for all of the different operations we were running at the time. Not an ideal situation, but in war I was beginning to realize that one rarely has all of the resources, men or equipment, they would otherwise prefer to complete the mission.
So when John threatened to leave and therefore render us non-operational, after my pleading and cajoling failed to convince him, I was forced to resort to more extreme methods to make him stay – as a commander with Marine lives on the line, I was relieved when it became clear that my verbal threats had intimidated him into staying, however morally I was sick with regret. The cognitive dissonance I was experiencing – up until that point I had believed that I was a good person, but my contradictory actions had proven otherwise – was dizzying.

My most anticipated game of 2013. This is looking incredible - an Alien fan's dream (or nightmare) come true.
It looks to take a page from Far Cry 2's playbook with the integration of the Motion Tracker. No minimap or HUD - if you want to know where and when death is coming for you, you need to use the tracker just like the characters in Aliens (1986). The Power Loader, Pulse Rifles and Sentry Turrets turn up too. It's a licensed survival horror FPS unlike anything that has come before.

SpringHouse Ministry Center was formally dedicated on Sunday, March 25 with a festive worship service in the afternoon. The event served as a time to devote the building to its primary purpose as a hub for ministry to the LynLake neighborhood of Minneapolis and beyond.
The new venture, located at 610 W.28th Street in Minneapolis, is home to three progressive Protestant congregations: First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Lyndale United Church of Christ and Salem English Lutheran Church (the former owners). The congregations came together in a unique partnership; common ownership of a building sharing space and renovation expenses while maintaining their separate congregations and identities. The partnership took one of the three buildings, which was the sanctuary portion of the old Salem Lutheran, retrofitting it to house three churches with ample spaces for worship and community activities.
"SpringHouse is a launching pad where we are not only living out our distinct identities while sharing ministries such as Christian Education, but finding new ways to connect with the community as well, " said Jen Nagel, Pastor of Salem English Lutheran.
"We think SpringHouse is a new way of being church in the 21st century," said Bob Brite, the then Transitional Pastor of First Christian Church. "Too many churches are in the same position we were all in: a smaller membership dealing with large buildings. This is a way that congregations can become more sustainable environmentally and financially and be free to do God's mission in new ways," Brite said.
The building features three sanctuaries, two on the main level and one on the lower (garden) level, as well as a commercial kitchen, and classrooms. Most of the spaces can also double as public space for community meetings and events. "While SpringHouse is a space where we can worship God, we also want to have the space available to the community as a place to meet, renew, grow resilience and work for the healing of the nations", said Don Portwood, Pastor of Lyndale United Church of Christ.
Water images shaped the worship service, which included a mass choir, communion, and representatives from the ecumenical community.

Some neat one-touch passing from Portugal and they have a throw in an attacking position.
It eventually falls to Cedric, who fancies his chances from 35 yards out, but a deflection takes the sting off it and Sommer catches with ease.
Portugal win another corner, but it's cleared away. More high pressing sees Portugal win the ball back. Some hefty challenges flying in and Fonte wins a free-kick after Embolo runs into him while the Portugal defender is in the air.
WIDE! More patient play from the Swiss and it's out left with Rodriguez, whose strike goes a yard wide of the near post.
Straight into the wall from Guerreiro, he gets to the follow up and volleys it, but it's deflected and out for a corner.
From the corner, it almost finds Pepe but goes out for another corner.
This one sees Nani just get his head to it but he is penalised for grappling. Not much in that really.
Right on the edge of the area, Djourou brings down Adrien. It's in a very dangerous spot... No Ronaldo, but there is a Moutinho... And also Guerreiro...
Nani is back on his feet and heads down the left wing with the ball. I know what you're thinking... But thankfully Nani is better after the magic spray.
He loses the ball, mind, and the Swiss are back to their possession game.
Fonte fouls Seferovic 40 yards out but the Swiss are happy to play the ball around the back. Patient build-up before they are dispossessed.
They regain the ball. But play stops with Nani rolling on the ground... Slamming the floor with his hand, seemingly in pain.
Looks like Lichtsteiner's foot landed on Nani's, but nothing malicious.
Moutinho curls in a free-kick and Nani gets his head onto it but the connection is too strong and it flies wide.
SAVE! Eder heads a cross back across goal and SIlva is there to strike from 12 yards out. Fortunately for Switzerland, it's straight at Sommer who makes the save.
A clumsy moment at the back for the Swiss as Lichtsteiner blasts a ball off Djourou's arm in the area but it was accidental. Lucky mind...
Long ball to Rodriguez can't quite find the Swiss player out wide. But they advance again into the area before Portugal clear their lines.
Eder sets off down the other end but sends a shot wide after running a little too wide with the ball.
Decent start from the visitors. Pressing high and putting pressure on the hosts.
- 1st Half
And away we go...
The teams head out. Lichtsteiner leads Switzerland out, while Nani has the armband for Portugal.
And now time for the national anthems, two minutes until kick-off, or thereabouts.
Head-to-heads are few and far between with regards to Switzerland and Portugal.
They have met just once this century, with the Swiss prevailing 2-0 in the Euro 2008 group stages.
The win meant little for Switzerland, who hosted the tournament alongside Austria, as they finished bottom of the group, while Portugal topped it.
But it was at St. Jakob-Park, a good omen for the hosts.
Tonight's game will be played at St. Jakob-Park in Basel.
The stadium will ring a sorry bell for Liverpool fans, having lost 3-1 to Sevilla in the Europa League final there just four months ago.
So where's your money? The Euro champs were hardly inspiring but did enough in each game to lift the Henri Delaunay trophy. They recently beat Gibraltar 5-0 in a friendly with Nani netting a brace. Tonight's skipper will be hoping for more of the same.
Switzerland meanwhile crashed out on penalties to Poland in the last 16, and have not played since.
Can't see much between the two in truth.
No Ronaldo in the squad means Nani captains Portgual.
Andre Gomes' injury in the 5-0 win over Gibraltar rules him out, while there is starting spot for Euro 2016 final hero, Eder.
Portugal XI vs. Switzerland: Patrício; Cédric, Pepe, Fonte, Guerreiro; Silva, Moutinho, William, Adrien; Eder, Nani.
Arsenal fans will be on Granit-watch as Xhaka starts alongside Watford's Valon Behrami in midfield for the hosts.
Switzerland XI vs. Portugal: Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Schär, Djourou, Rodriguez; Behrami, Xhaka; Dzemaili; Mehmedi, Seferovic, Embolo.
Welcome to the live text commentary for Portugal's opening World Cup qualifier away to Switzerland.
Portugal of course head into this campaign on the back of their Euro 2016 triumph, and their trip to Basel tonight is arguably the toughest test they'll face in Group B.
We'll bring you live updates throughout the game, with kick-off at 7.45pm. Up next, the team news...

Developing Cognitive Skills Through Art.
Silver, Rawley A.
The recognition that children's cognitive skills are evident in visual as well as verbal conventions has led to the construction of the Silver Test of Cognitive and Creative Skills (STCCS) for the assessment and development of children's cognitive abilities. Research on cognition, the role of language in cognition, and left and right brain hemisphere thinking has led to the following conclusions: (1) even children with inadequate language may be able to construct visual models of reality and represent their experiences nonverbally by drawing images of them; (2) intellectual ability is largely independent of language; (3) language is structured by the development of logical ability; (4) people tend to favor one mode of hemispheric thinking over another; and (5) individuals successful at solving problems tend to use visual thinking as one means of solving problems. Based on findings such as these, the STCCS consists of three main tasks: drawing from imagination, drawing from observation, and predictive drawing. The test is designed to assess children with cognitive or creative strengths who may do poorly on traditional measures of intelligence or achievement. Examples of the use of the STCCS in assessment are provided. Teaching procedures derived from three structures underlying the assessment tasks are described and illustrated. In conclusion, six studies using the STCCS to assess or to develop children's cognitive skills are summarily discussed. (Author/RH)
