Product Description
Did you know that in the Connecticut massacre, three half-inch books could have stopped the active shooter's 9mm rounds? An active shooter with little or no weapons training can take out a classroom full of students and staff in fewer than 40 seconds. No law enforcement agency can or should be expected to respond to an active shooter massacre in such a short time.
This first-of-its-kind 12-DVD video set provides a step-by-step method for surviving and preventing an active shooter massacre or terrorist attack.
"Active Shooter Massacre Survival," designed for the average citizen and essential for everyone in today's world, will not only teach you how to respond during an active shooter event, but also give you pointers that can help prevent events like these from occurring in the first place. Produced using two volunteers, neither having any prior tactical or combat experience, it shows how untrained people -- with the proper knowledge -- can survive an active shooter or terrorist massacre.
Presented by counterterrorism expert and former Israeli Special Forces member Doron Benbenisty, the knowledge behind this program is based on years of experience from the State of Israel where active shooters and terrorist attacks are frequent.
Many active shooter events have happened in classrooms, where students and teachers didn't know how to react. In this program, you will learn how to:
- Survive an active shooter event in the classroom
- Identify what material can provide you cover and protection against incoming rounds
- Disarm a weapon from the shooter and use it against him
- If you have a weapon and a CCW license, perform a disadvantaged weapon draw against the active shooter
- Counter an active shooter by using a folding knife
- Survive an attempted execution by an active shooter
- Disable the active shooter's weapon during a massacre in progress
- Function during a gunfight with a potential active shooter
- Deal with an active shooter around your vehicle
- Defend against an active shooter in a restaurant, on the street and in other public places
- And much more!

I'm excited about this. It came along at the perfect time, although I'm not sure whether the invitation to join that community was what precipitated my recently redoubled efforts in actively creating my life, or whether it was just another synchronicity that happened to coalesce. It doesn't really matter. What matters is that over the past month I've been more committed than ever to making sure the life I'm now so blithely enjoying is the one I want to enjoy. And I'm excited about this project.
I suppose it's part of the reason why I've chosen to disable comments. I recognize that this, on the surface, is a fantastically narcissistic pursuit. I'm working on such seeming banalities as fitness and productivity and self-improvement, and I don't particularly expect or want a great deal of feedback – or advice – on how I'm doing. What I want is accountability, and, too, to be helpful, and to inspire. The words 'on the surface' and 'seeming' in the first sentences of this paragraph were there for a reason. In my heart of hearts, I believe that projects like these – projects in which individuals make a radical commitment to accepting themselves and living their own truths (I hate how trite this sounds) and to both recognize and grow their own essential values – are what make the greatest difference in the world.
In any case, I'm excited to see where this is going to end up. End up? With luck it won't. I'm excited about the process.

text: Catalysing Community Energy Community energy is all about collective action to generate, manage and reduce energy locally. A growing number of local cooperatives and social enterprises across the UK are placing an emphasis on local engagement, leadership and control with local communities benefiting collectively from the income derived from renewables such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines or hydroelectric power. Aside from the obvious decarbonisation and democratisation benefits these projects bring, they provide opportunities to deliver lasting economic and social impact locally. The creation of local employment and skills training, securing new funding streams for community support services and fuel poverty alleviation programmes are just some of the ways in which this is happening. The challenges Community energy can be a highly efficient, low-cost way of delivering clean energy and saving money, in ways that private companies are unable to offer. But there are some fundamental barriers which are stifling progress of this bottom-up movement; be it incumbents working hard to maintain a centralised power system, poor public awareness of the new business models that can be deployed, or the time and effort it takes to identify and secure viable sites. By empowering communities to benefit from the transformation of our energy system, we can turn opposition to new solutions into active participation and support. What we are doing The Community Energy Coalition In 2011, Forum for the Future convened the Community Energy Coalition (CEC), which today brings together more than 30 influential civil society organisations and energy practitioners, such as the National Trust, the Women's Institute, the Energy Saving Trust, National Union of Students and the Church of England. Representing millions of people across the UK, these organisations are committed to making community energy at scale a reality in the UK by 2020. We use the collective power of CEC members to raise awareness about the benefits of community energy and to influence senior government advisors and politicians. The CEC played an important role in the development of the first ever Community Energy Strategy launched by the UK government in 2014. Since 2013, Forum has been supporting the annual Community Energy Fortnight programme of events – from the Outer Hebrides to Cornwall, from energy efficiency schemes to hydro power plants – helping to engage and inspire the public about the wide-ranging benefits of this form of energy ownership. "When I came back [from the 2011 Community Energy 'seeing is believing' tour], I was in a position where I could stimulate something within the National Trust. So we now have a renewables programme that is aiming to generate 50% of our energy from renewables by 2020, and that's started, we're building things. The inspiration, collaboration and network from that tour was a vital catalyst and spark for that. We need more of that now." Patrick Begg, National Trust More about the Community Energy Coalition PowerPaired In response to the difficulties community energy groups face in identifying and securing sites for renewables, we initiated a community energy asset bank, a curated online platform called PowerPaired. In simple terms, we aim to create a nationwide energy matchmaking service that brings interested owners of viable buildings and land together with local community energy groups looking for sites. During 2017 we conducted an intensive feasibility and design sprint - funded by the Friends Provident Foundation – and plan to begin user testing of the PowerPaired platform during the first half of 2018. We would love to hear from public and private asset owners (as well as community energy groups and supporting service providers) interested in knowing more and helping us pilot this innovative project.

First of all, you guys are awesome. Thank you for riding right along with me on this crazy roller coaster.
Four doses of Clomid down, one to go (I've been taking them at night, since it was so late the day I finally got the prescription). So far, no terrible side-effects (although I've been warned to expect them any time now). Interestingly, though, Hubby seems to find me irresistible these days. Oh yeah, he's manvulating, big time. So maybe something is happening? Something subliminal? Or maybe it's just the excitement of doing. I've felt an occasional ping near my ovaries (possibly just my imagination), but nothing else to let me know the stuff is working.
So I whipped out the handy-dandy consent form I had to sign before the prescription could even be written. Let's go through it together, shall we?
- poor quality cervical mucus and decreased amount of mucus: I did have some weird discharge today, but there was plenty of it. I guess we'll see what happens when I get closer to ovulation. I usually have some very noticeable EWCM.
- hot flashes: No. Thank goodness.
- breast tenderness: Nope.
- nausea: Uh-uh.
- blurred vision: Since my job is super-dependent on my ability to drive, I'm tremendously grateful I am not experiencing this side-effect.
- headaches: I start to think I'm getting one every once in a while, but it never lasts long. So, no.
- insomnia: Hmm-mm.
- emotional irritability, anxiety, and vulnerability: How would this be different from the rest of my life? Uh, I guess not.
If anything, I've been in a better mood the past few days. Hubby's attention has helped.
I know the tides could shift at any moment, that I could suddenly start behaving like a crazy bitch, ripping my clothes off in public (you know, from the hot flashes, not the crazy), refusing to let Hubby come anywhere near me or my tender breasts, and throwing up all over the place (or wishing I could). But it hasn't happened yet.
Believe me, if it changes, you'll be among the first to know.

The pattern was in the bag with the extra yarn and the partially completed sweater… It was hand-typed on a scrap of yellowed paper, and I have not been able to find it on the internet anywhere (there are no credits on the pattern, either).
Normally, I prefer my baby patterns to be of the "Top Down, Seamless" variety... but I wanted to help her out, and the little sweater did not look THAT complicated, lol! I am also not a fan of 100% acrylic yarn, and this little sweater is knit out of 3 Ply Jamie baby yarn, in a light green color:
I was also a little unsure on the seaming.. and even though I searched throughout Ravelry, and all over the internet, I could not find this pattern anywhere. It really is a simple little pattern, however... knit all in one piece with seams to finish up the sides and underarms. I also had to take out several rows where the poor older woman had started to have trouble with the stitches... but after a couple hours of work (and some gentle steam blocking) - it is all finished!
And just in case you are need of a simple little baby sweater pattern.. I retyped the original for you :)
Simple Infant Sweater: (#8 or #9 needles – knit worsted yarn)(Numbers in parenthesis are for lighter weight sport yarn)
Starting at lower back edge, cast on 40 (50) sts. Work garter st. (Knit each row) for 6 rows. Work in stockinette st. (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) to 7" from start, end with purl row. Cast on 18 (24) sts. at end of last row for sleeve. Turn, knit across, cast on 18 (24) sts for other sleeve. Work on these sts. as follows: Row 1 – K5 for garter st. cuff, purl to last 5 sts., k5 for cuff. Row 2- K across. Repeat these 2 rows for 3" above sleeve cast on sts. End on right side.
Work 31 (39) sts and slip to holder. Bind off center 14 (20) sts. for neck, work to end. Work on the 31 (39) sts. for 4 rows. Inc. 1 st. at end of next row for neck edge, then inc. 1 sts at same edge every other row twice more. Work on the 34 (42) sts for 2 rows. Cast on 7 (9) sts at end of last row for front. Next row, K5 for front garter st. border, purl to last 5 sts, K5. Keep 5 sts at front border in a garter st. Work until sleeve measure 7". End at cuff edge, bind off 18 (24). Work to end. Work on 25 (27) until front is the same length as back. K6 rows for border. Bind off.
Slip sts of other side to needle with point of needle at neck. Join yarn and work across the 31 (39) sts. Work 3 more rows. Inc. 1 st. at beg. Of next row, then inc. 1 st. at same edge every other row twice more, end at cuff edge. Work one more row on the 34 (42) sts, cast on 7 (9) for front. Finish same as the other side.
Neckband – ON right side, starting at right front edge, pick up and K11 (13) sts, along neck. Pick up and knit 14 (20) on back, and 10 (13) on other side. Knit garter st. for 6 rows. Bind off. Sew up underarms.

Valiant's Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe series is slated to be the first of its kind for the publishing company. The concept behind it was to gain new readers and followers of the Valiant universe by creating a series that introduces its most popular and famous long-running characters through both a live action series and a comic series. The live action YouTube series, produced by Bat in the Sun Productions, was supposed to be released in late 2017, but has suffered some delays. According to Valiant, its release is imminent and soon. To watch a trailer for the series, starring the hit CW series' Arrow star, Michael Rowe as well as Power Rangers' icon, Jason David Frank, please visit here.
The comic book portion of Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe will be released on January 10, 2018. The series follows Colin King, aka "Ninjak", who is being forced to steal "asset 147", an undisclosed item of importance, from his place of employment, British Intelligence Service, MI6, by the lethal mystic assassin, Roku. In order to ensure she gets what she wants from Ninjak, Roku has kidnapped and made threats to kill several people of importance to him.
The story itself, written by Eliot Rahal, has very little dialogue as opposed to its intense, explosive action sequences. Though the action is dynamic, I believe that the first issue of this series could have offered more dialogue and backstory of its characters. As a graphic novel that's purpose was intended to draw new people into the Valiant Universe, the first issue of Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe offers very little in explaining who the characters in the series are as well as their histories with one another. That being said, in the closing few pages, you will notice some recognizable, long standing Valiant characters, hinting that the backstories and histories of each character will begin unfolding in the following issues.
Though the first issue certainly had its problems, being that it felt hard to believe it was a first issue of a story dedicated to finding new readers, I think what Valiant is doing with Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe is very smart. Both Marvel and DC have had great success in bringing their comic book characters to the small screen. Valiant, no doubt, saw this and realized that offering a live action series could be an excellent way to draw in new readers. There has been a renewed interest in some long forgotten comic book characters that have recently been made popular on television series, boosting comic book sales for series involving those characters. If Valiant is able to handle the live action series well, making it cohesive with the digital print, and making both of them interesting and fresh, this series could be very successful. Overall, I think that the series has potential, though it greatly depends on its ability to provide characters that one can develop a connection with. I will be interested in seeing what issue # 2 will hold for the characters of Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe.

John Goodman lawyers: house arrest should count towards prison time
Lawyers for imprisoned Wellington polo mogul John Goodman will fight next week to have a judge count the two years he spent on house arrest towards a 16-year prison sentence on DUI manslaughter charges.
Goodman's lawyers made the request in court documents last month. Chief Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath will hold a rearing on the matter Tuesday.
Colbath sentenced Goodman about a year ago, after a second jury in three years convicted him of DUI manslaughter with failure to render aid in the Feb. 2012 death of Scott Patrick WIlson, who drowned in a Wellington canal after Goodman crashed his Bentley into WIlson's Hyundai and pushed it off the road.
A first jury had convicted Goodman in March 2012, but Collbath overturned the conviction and sentence a year later because of juror misconduct. Goodman was on house arrest and a $7 milliion appellate bond between the two trials.
Prosecutors have said he doesn't deserve credit for that time because he was able to stay in his Wellington estate, where he took tennis and salsa lessons' among other things, while he was on house arrest.

Vee Seven Inspection Spreader
Tyres before starting the process of retreading have to be inspected to decide whether they are fit to be retreaded or not. Also the irregularities in the casing can be indentified by the trained eye during this procedure. The Inspection spreader has a tyre loader pneumatically powered to load the tyre on to the inspection base. The Two claws stretch the two walls of the casing improving the visibility on the inside surface of the casing. The casing can be easily rotated with the help of aluminium rollers provided. The inspector decides whether to discard the tyre or forward the tyre for repairs and retreading after inspection.

Financial Aid FAQ
I have not received a bill for the upcoming semester. What should I do?
Penn State no longer mails bills to students' homes. Students can view, print, and pay their bills on LionPATH. Parents can also obtain a Friends of Penn State account and, with permission from the student, they may obtain access to the student's bill via the Parent login to LionPATH.
How much does it cost to attend Penn State Beaver?
Penn State offers an excellent value for a quality education with a worldwide reputation for excellence. The University establishes tuition rates and fees for all students annually in July. To calculate the most accurate tuition, consult the online Tuition Calculator.
How can I find out if I'm eligible for financial aid?
To be considered for student aid, all Penn State students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. This is the only financial aid application required by Penn State.
What is Penn State Beaver's Federal School Code Number?
Penn State Beaver's Federal School Code Number is 003329. This is the same code used throughout the University, and is listed on the application as Penn State University Park. Don't worry, though, this number is correct. All financial aid is processed centrally through the Office of Student Aid at University Park.
What is the deadline for applying for financial aid?
Penn State recommends that returning students file their FAFSAs for the following academic year as early as possible, starting October 1, and no later than April 15, of the following year. Keep in mind that many student aid sources, especially University funds, have limited funding and are awarded to eligible students on a first come, first served basis. Waiting to file the FAFSA may mean you will not be awarded funding for which you would otherwise qualify because the available funds have run out.
If we own a house in Pennsylvania, are we eligible for Pennsylvania residency?
To qualify for in-state tuition, your family must reside in Pennsylvania, but owning a house in Pennsylvania alone does not qualify a student for the state residency tuition. To change your child's status from out-of-state to in-state student, you will need proof of residency, including Pennsylvania income tax and federal income tax forms for the most current year. For more information, please visit Penn State's residency page which explains how to qualify as a Pennsylvania resident.
What if I cannot pay my tuition bill by the due date?
Penn State offers a Deferred Payment Plan that allows you the convenience of splitting your tuition bill into three payments. Instructions for the Deferred Payment Plan appear on the semester bill. A $45 fee per semester is required.

WASHINGTON — When setting up Christmas trees and decorations, a little care and attention can help prevent them from becoming fire hazards.
"Go ahead and check all the decorations that you're using year after year," said Electrical Safety Foundation International President Brett Brenner. "So, no breaks in the wires, no broken bulbs — those types of things."
Position your Christmas tree out of harm's way, away from open flames and someplace it can't be tipped over by a child or pet.
Other safety tips from ESFi include:
"We see a huge spike in fires between Christmas Day and New Year's, so it's very important that until you get rid of that tree that it remains watered and cared for," Brenner said.
Just in case something tragic does happen, Brenner recommends you make sure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working.

1. CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS — We aren 't sure who else could be better than the league leading Hawks of 2013. Does anyone doubt that Chicago were the legitimate NHL champions in a lockout shortened season? If there were 82 games last season, Chicago could have shattered records. Will this be the year we see those records fall? We don't see this team losing more than
15 games all season long.
2. NASHVILLE PREDATORS — We like Nashville for a return to contention because of the addition of Seth Jones, and the development of Filip Forsberg as a top tier NHL'er. They still have, in our opinion, the best coach in the NHL in Barry Trotz, and the best goalie in Pekka Rinne. Nashville may not have a top line, but they have three lines that can roll nicely.
3. MINNESOTA WILD — The Wild have revamped a once boring roster into a formidable force. While the team could still upgrade at C, they could have the toughest third line in the league to play against. The option to play Kyle Brodziak between Torrey Mitchell and Matt Cooke is pretty sweet as a shutdown line. Goaltending must hold though.
4. DALLAS STARS — Watch for Benn and Seguin to get off to a blazing start, while Lehtonen proves he's worth all the money he was given last year. With veteran Gonchar playing the "Zubov" of 2014, and by adding former Oil captain Shawn Horcoff to round out the roster, this team could surprise a few. Look for Dallas to push for a playoff spot or higher this year.
5. ST. LOUIS BLUES — We don't like the loss of Perron from this roster, and the addition of Canucks dropouts Derek Roy and Maxim Lapierre do little to convince me that this team is any better than the lockout version. They need a goalie to step up and be a legitimate number one, and they need T.J. Oshie to break out of his career-long slump. Now or never for the Blues. We say never.
6. WINNIPEG JETS — Though adding Setoguchi and Frolik adds balance to the roster, and Evander Kane is definitely a top tier player, the Jets need to do something about upgrading their centre positions. Bryan Little and Olli Jokinen have over 1500 NHL games under their belt, and only 6 playoff games between them. There's a reason for that. The move to this conference will mean lights out for Winnipeg by mid-season, 80's style.
7. COLORADO AVALANCHE — The Avs are, like Winnipeg, not a bad team, but a team that will be outclassed by the other teams in the division and conference at this stage of their development. The return of Tanguay is both nostalgic and mystifying, given the number of teams who would be interested in the left winger's services Though the Avs seem bent on partying like it's 1999… it's really not.

For Immediate Release
August 24, 2004
Contact: Tom Korpady, Administrator, Insurance Services (608) 266-0207
MADISON -- Eric Stanchfield, Secretary of the Wisconsin Department
of Employee Trust Funds (ETF), declared that strategic efforts developed
to control escalating health insurance costs and improve quality
of care and service delivery are successfully bearing fruit. Stanchfield
was reacting to today's Group Insurance Board (GIB) news that
premium rate increases for the state's group health insurance
program members will be in the single digits – approximately
5% -- next year.
"This is a huge success story; the results have exceeded
our expectations," said Stanchfield. Two years ago the GIB
and Governor Doyle initiated program changes to provide quality
health care at a reasonable cost to state government employees and
employers without simply shifting costs. One year ago ETF, administrator
of the state's group health insurance program, set them in
"In that short amount of time we've made significant
changes that we hope will be sustainable in today's health
care marketplace," said Stanchfield. "Our approach,
particularly in the areas of value purchasing and prescription drug
management, have
become nationally recognized and may provide a model for health
care reform for other public and private purchasers."
Tom Korpady, Administrator of the Division of Insurance Services,
said, "because prescription drugs are such a substantial portion
of the Medicare Plus $1 Million Plan, the savings from this new
strategy will allow the GIB to reduce premiums for the plan."
The rate reduction affects approximately 10,000 participants age
65 and over.
Of the program revisions implemented last January 1, those that
have had the biggest effect on problem areas identified by the GIB
Pharmacy Benefit Manager
Significant savings realized by carving out the prescription drug
benefit and selecting a Wisconsin-based PBM to provide pharmacy
benefit services to the program's approximately 230,000 members
was a major factor behind the lower than expected premium rate increases.
Within a few months, the program achieved 95% compliance with the
formulary, a list of prescription drugs determined to be clinically
sound and cost effective by a statewide committee of physicians
and pharmacists. "Such a high rate of compliance is key to
our success," said Stanchfield. "People are getting
the drugs they need at the same or at more reasonable prices as
before." Members are also able to participate in other "value
added" programs to help save money on drugs: tablet splitting,
mail order purchasing, and the generic sampling program –
in which the first fill of a new (to the patient) generic drug is
Value-Based Purchasing
A three-tier premium contribution structure for state employees
replaced the former system on January 1. ETF evaluates each health
plan's cost of providing benefits to members and places them
in tiers, based on its ability to control costs while providing
quality health care. Plans that proved to be the most cost effective
were placed in tier 1; moderately cost-effective plans in tier 2;
and the least cost effective in tier 3. Plans that received high
marks for quality and patient safety measures were rewarded during
the negotiation of their premium bids. This new approach also enhances
the GIB's ability to negotiate more effectively with the health
plans; which resulted in over $14 million in savings this year.
Quality and Safety Standards
Stanchfield says Wisconsin hospitals are making progress in their
efforts to provide consumers of health care better information on
quality and safety. The majority are also self-reporting their progress
in adopting proven measures to prevent mistakes and protect patients
from injury. ETF rewards plans that have been successful in meeting
patient safety and quality goals set by such organizations as Leapfrog
and the Wisconsin Hospital Association's Checkpoint initiative.
"We are holding the insurance plans and their providers accountable
for their compliance with these efforts and performance to date;
it's a factor during premium negotiations," he said.

Are you one of the many women in America suffering from sexual dysfunction? Have you tried remedies recommended by your doctor, and have found they do not work?
It does not matter if you are in your 20s, 30s or 40s, being uninterested in having sex can destroy any relationship. That is why you should ask your doctor about a new mediation called Addyi.
What is Addyi? -- Dubbed the female Viagra, Addyi is a new medication on the market that could completely eliminate your disinterest in having sex, and put new life into your relationship.
How does it work? -- While scientists are not completely sure how it works, it is thought to affect woman's brain chemistry so she is actually interest in sex and finds it pleasurable when she does.
How often do you take it? -- If you get a prescription for Addyi, you are told to take one pill every night for a month. At the end of the month, you should be experiencing some increase in your libido, to the point that sex seems like something you may enjoy. You may also notice an increase in how turned on you are during the day.
The drawbacks to using Addyi? -- Addyi is medication, so there are side effects. These can include dizziness, nausea, low blood pressure and feeling sleepy. You must also not take them with alcohol, as this can magnify the side effects.
Other drawbacks include having to go through several interviews with your doctor about your current health, and your mental health. One of the most annoying drawbacks for the women that are prescribed Addyi is that it is difficult to get. You may find you even have to drive several hundred miles to find a pharmacy that can fill the prescription.

In the summer of 2013, a wildfire broke out in the state of Arizona- ignited by lightning. What would become known as the "Yarnel Hill Fire" raged on for nearly two weeks. Along the way, it claimed the lives on 19 City of Prescott firefighters. That deadly fire will form the basis for the filmNO EXIT, which will be directed by Joseph Kosinski (TRON: LEGACY). The film has now added a couple of stars to its cast.
According to Variety, Josh Brolin and Miles Teller have signed on to play two of the firefighters, who went by the nickname the Granite Mountain Hotshots. The film will focus on the team's efforts to contain the fire before it could consume an entire town.
Ken Nolan (BLACK HAWK DOWN), is developing the story on spec with the film's producers.
As of now, production on NO EXIT has no start date.

We hadn't been to Indique (5312 Connecticut) for years and got the same table as before, upstairs. I remember it being excellent before and the cooking hasn't suffered over the years, overall we enjoyed dinner very much. Aloo tikki (potato cakes) appetizer, with chickpeas in sauce, was tasty; shrimp varuval was okay but some flavor I couldn't identify didn't appeal to me, and the dish didn't get 100% eaten, which is a rarity for us. Vindaloo is fantastic, very hot (sweat + nose like a faucet = good signs) but not to the point of overwhelming the flavors, best I've had. Lamb is supertender in both the vindaloo and the biryani, which Mrs. Me loved; the texture and flavor of the biryani is a bit different than at Tiffin, and I think I prefer the latter, but Mrs. Me seems to have voted for the Indique version (perhaps she will chime in). Dining companions' lamb rogan josh disappeared quickly, but shrimp/scallop masala met a less thorough fate. Our small sample size indicates best to stick with lamb over seafood at Indique. Breads are okay, and the soupy, buttery, rich dal makhani was a highlight, must-order side dish.

Time to ridicule the false accusation of antisemitism!
It is being used against human rights activists working on justice for the Palestinian people.
It is quite absurd to use this term as synonymous with 'anti-Jewish' since so many working in this field are Jewish themselves!
It is equally absurd because Palestinians, Lebanese and others are also Semites, which many of the Israeli Jews are not, having come from Eastern Europe.

(Marco Bonelli) The power of words in a fragile environment!
Some comments from Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser and Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher about their dissent of the Fed's decision to keep interest rates exceptionally low until summer 2013, some statements from the NY Fed regarding a closer look at US affiliates from European banks and a comment from Lars Frisell, chief economist at Sweden's financial regulator referring to the vulnerable interbank lending system don't fit well on barely calmed down investor's nerves.
The power of inaction or inability to do anything in a fragile environment!
Europe's denial that the sovereign debt crisis is a real problem and the fact that current austerity measures (or in most cases: hollow promises) are more accelerating the ride on the death spiral than calming it down, doesn't fit well on investor's nerves either. It's almost like 2007, when a lot of people, including the Fed's Chairman, denied that the subprime crisis is a real problem. You add a few zeros and you talk about the sovereign debt crisis. It feels like the pressure won't stop until something major happens, like one or more countries leaving the Eurozone.
In the US, the inability of the government to help to struggling economy due to budget constraints and the inability of the Fed to help the struggling economy due to lack of options (that's why QE3 will probably come unless the economy miraculously recovers within the next few weeks) also doesn't help investor's nerves.
Overall, the degree of opposite opinions is striking these days! Guidance and comments from companies is sending a very confusing message as some haven't seen any slowdown and change of customer behavior while others mentioned that business activity literally came to a halt in the last weeks of July. Forecasts and comments from strategists, analysts and investors are also embracing the extremes. Of note is that most strategists continue to keep their 1400 to 1500 SPX year-end targets while economists slowly reduce their global GDP forecasts. In the last days, many investors eagerly tried to believe that the correction is over and it's time to start buying again. Unfortunately the strong opening yesterday met a lack of follow-through buying and probably a lack of interest overall, as the indexes failed to really break through the highs from Monday and Tuesday. The result was a classic intra-day reversal that left the Dow Jones as the only major index where the 50dayMA didn't cross the 200day MA to the downside.
Still upcoming are the Philadelphia Fed Index from August and Existing Home Sales from July with the Phili Fed Index almost certainly falling substantially, similar to other sentiment indexes in the past days. A big percentage of market participants who remain or recently turned positive and the August option expiration tomorrow also doesn't help cool investors' nerves. Let's see if we revisit the recent lows this week or next?
Trade well.

The key feature of mad is ability to create single-file bundled web sites. Thus making dream to boot simpler than node.js come true. This bundle target is ready to run on Windows, Linux and Mac.
To make this possible we implemented a zip filesytem inside escript. mad packages priv directories along with ebin and configs. You can redefine each file in zip fs inside target escript by creation the copy with same path locally near escript. After launch all files are copied to ETS. N2O also comes with custom cowboy static handler that is able to read static files from this cached ETS filesystem. Also bundle are compatible with active online realoading and recompilation.
E.g. you main create a single file site with:
app_name shoul be the same as a valid Erlang module, with app_module:main/1 function defined, which will boot up the bundle. This function could be like that:
As you may know you can create OTP releases with reltool (rebar generate) or systools (relx). mad creates releases boot script with systools and pack tra by itself.
Sample rebar.config for your application you want to go unikernel:
Now you should build LING/posix:
Now pack vmling.o, your OTP apps and rest static to single-file LING bundle with VM inside.
Run it:
Creating runc-complatible container is simple:
OTP.MK is a tiny 50 lines Makefile that allows to start your set of application using run_erl and to_erl tools from OTP distribution. We use that way in poduction. This is the best option also in development mode because all directory structure is open and mutable, so you can reload modified files and perform recompilation on the fly.
It uses the original code to fast resolve dependencies into the right boot sequence to start. If you want more powerful Makefile-based erlang package management you may take a look onto ERLANG.MK by Nine Nines.

Former First Minister Arlene Foster is seeking to set aside a decision that she should face a personal legal challenge over funding for legacy inquests in Northern Ireland, the High Court heard today.
Attorney General John Larkin QC has been instructed to argue that the DUP leader should be a notice party rather than respondent in proceedings brought by the widow of an innocent civilian shot dead along with eight IRA men.
Brigid Hughes is seeking to judicially review the administrations at Stormont and Westminster for failing to release the financial resources necessary to hold inquests into Troubles-related killings.
Her husband, Anthony, died after being unwittingly caught up in the SAS ambush of an IRA unit at Loughgall, Co Armagh in May 1987.
In an extraordinary move, Mrs Foster was joined as a further respondent in the challenge amid claims that she blocked Executive discussion of a funding plan to clear the backlog of legacy inquests.
Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan has called for urgent action to fund his blueprint for having all cases dealt with within five years.
With the cost of the plan estimated at around £10m, the government has said resources will not be released until political consensus is reaching on dealing with the past.
Part of the legal challenge involves allegations of political discrimination being made against Mrs Foster.
It was alleged that a press report where Mrs Foster referred to a perceived skewing towards inquests into state killings pointed to a discriminatory approach.
A reference to innocent victims and killings by paramilitary groups indicated a reliance on political opinion about different categories of cases, it was contended.
At a hearing last month the judge, Sir Paul Girvan, questioned why the former First Minister was not a respondent due to the nature of the allegations being made against her.
Counsel for Mrs Hughes then sought to have Mrs Foster joined in a personal capacity - a highly unusual move in judicial review proceedings normally centred on departmental and ministerial decisions.
With the application granted administratively, a new twist emerged in court today.
Barrister Donal Sayers, brought into the case with the Attorney General and solicitor John McBurney, confirmed they are seeking to have that set aside.
"The position is that the former First Minister should not be joined as a respondent to the proceedings," he said.
Sir Paul replied that the step had been taken to enable her to participate and ensure no unfairness.
"A case has been made which is critical of her actions in the matter," he said.
"If the former First Minister doesn't want to take part in the proceedings she takes the consequences and if it makes an adverse finding she can't complain."
But Mr Sayers advanced an alternative option of having her instead granted notice party status.
Mrs Foster rejects allegations of discrimination, and is expected to insist she was involved in macropolitical attempts to find an overall solution to legacy issues.
Objections to being made one of the respondents are based on her no longer holding office due to the collapse of the Stormont power-sharing regime.
Even if the legal challenge ultimately succeeds, she would not be in a position to comply with any orders made by the court.
Granting the DUP leader notice party instead would enable her to take part in the case and still provide an account of her actions, her lawyers contend.
A further hearing next month is set to determine whether Mrs Foster's status should be changed.
In an apparent nod to her ongoing involvement in attempts to break the political deadlock at Stormont, Mr Sayers added: "There are considerable pressures on the former First Minister's time at the moment."

SPOILER ALERT! The plot of the movie will be discussed.
The title character is Lt. Harry "Breaker" Morant (Edward Woodward). He received his nickname for "breaking" horses. So, he takes a wild animal and domesticates it, his name indicating his desire to turn chaos into order. We learn through the course of the story that he is a poet who uses rhymes to bring structure and related patterns to word usage. He is also a singer, (symbolically showing the desire for harmony), and this fact, along with his being a poet, shows his connection to a civilized society which values art. However, during the course of the trial, we learn that he is not above the urge for vengeance. He complies with the violence inherent in war, including executing prisoners, especially after the Boers savagely kill his friend and future father-in-law. This ironic divergence in one person shows the conflicting drives in humans between barbarism and civilized behavior, which is especially tested in times of war.
Morant along with Lt. Peter Hancock (Bryan Brown) and Lt. George Ramsdale Witton (Lewis Fitz-Gerald) are on trial in Pretoria South Africa for murdering captured Boers and a German missionary. We already know that the international situation has influenced the legal proceedings because the British Lord Kitchener (Allan Cassell) has told the prosecutor, Major Charles Bolton (Rod Mullinar), that the German Kaiser has protested the killing of his country's citizen. The government has sent any possible soldiers to testify for the defense to India. Later, when Witton asks Morant why is the army prosecuting them, Morant says, "They have to apologize for their damned war. They're trying to end it now, so they need scapegoats." Lord Kitchener puts the blame for this rigged action on the Germans, saying, "Needless to say, the Germans couldn't give a damn about the Boers. The diamonds and gold of South Africa they're after." The prosecutor sarcastically observes this rationalization of thwarting justice when he says, "They lack our altruism, sir." In addition, they have assigned as defense attorney Major J. F. Thomas (Jack Thompson), an attorney with no experience in these matters. The gallows humor appears in the film when Thomas says he dealt with wills, to which Hancock says, "Might come in handy."
Through rituals and scene placement the film highlights the ironic contrast between the desire for order and culture in the midst of a wartime environment. The killing of a scout is placed in counterpoint to a band playing music in the town square, again echoing the harmony of music and thus civilization at the time of the death which disrupts the local world order. When the soldiers in the battlefield settle in for the night in their tents they sing out the daily chant of "hip, hip hooray," an ironic celebratory salute given the dire situation in which they find themselves. The troops marching into the courtroom, as well as the prisoners moving in formation back and forth into their cells, the saluting, along with the laws espoused in the courtroom are all undercut by the security-threatening violence of war waged around the participants. A truly ironic scene occurs when the Boers attack the camp. The command releases the Australian prisoners, who are charged with murdering Boers, to kill the attacking enemy, which they do with massacre-like precision using a Gatling gun, and then locks them back up for killing that same enemy.
One can argue that killing someone shooting at you is self-defense and that shooting unarmed prisoners is another matter entirely. However, in this story that differentiation is blurred. The events are told in flashback. The Boers kill and mutilate the body of Captain Simon Hunt (Terence Donovan), Morant's best friend, introducing the idea that Morant acted in revenge. (Is the killing of Hunt acceptable since he was the enemy, but is then mutilating him on the battlefield a war crime?) Morant says that Hunt previously killed prisoners in front of him based on the orders of Colonel Hamilton (Vincent Ball), (which originated from Lord Kitchener) who told Hunt "the gentleman's war is over," raising the question can there even be such a thing as a "gentleman's war?" Bolton, the prosecutor asks Morant under what "rules of engagement" did he act under when shooting an unarmed prisoner. Again, we see the introduction of the idea of "rules" in the midst of barbaric acts. Morant's response shows his disdain for the hypocrisy of decorum in a war zone when he says he acted under "Rule 303," which is the caliber of his rifle.
The prosecution however continues to argue the fine lines of behavior. For instance, one prisoner, lined up in front of a firing squad ordered by Morant, breaks away from the formation, and attacks one of the men on trial, Witton, who shoots the Boer. This act of violence is considered acceptable, because the man, who ironically was about to be executed anyway by the firing squad, now is killed by reason of self-defense. Here, the rules change within a matter of seconds. According to the other defendant, Hancock, he feels he had to adapt to the changing landscape of war in order to perform his duties as a soldier. In the instance of the killing of the German missionary, the Reverend Heese, Hancock says he has an alibi since he was with two Afrikaner women at the time of the clergyman's death, and the defense enters into evidence two affidavits from the women verifying the testimony. But, later Hancock admits to his fellow outraged inmate, Witton, that it was a lie, and he did kill Heese. The cleric was told not to speak with the other prisoners for security reasons, but did so anyway, claiming they sought religious comfort. Morant believed Heese to be a Boer spy and ordered Hancock to kill him. Morant says, "It's a new kind of war, George. A new war for a new century. I suppose this is the first time the enemy hasn't been in uniform. They're farmers. They come from small villages, and they shoot from behind walls and from farmhouses. Some of them are women, some of them are children, and some of them … are missionaries, George." Morant's chilling words speak to us today, being relevant to the war in Vietnam and the one against terrorists, raising the question, how can one be sure who the real enemy is?
In a private conversation, we hear that Kitchener did in fact tell Hamilton to issue the order to shoot all prisoners in order to break the Boers. But since the war is reaching an end, the politics, and the rules, have changed. England has to make peace with the Afrikaners and keep the Germans out of the war on the side of the Dutch South Africans. So, he basically orders Hamilton to lie on the stand, which he does, saying that he had never issued such orders to Captain Hunt. The lengths to which England goes to sacrifice the accused topples George Witton's passion for the British Empire. He comes to feel that the British government forces Australians to fight its imperialist war and then treats them as criminals. The defense attorney Thomas, stressing the backstabbing nature of what has happened to the defendants, says, "I do know that orders that one would consider barbarous have been issued in this war. Before I was asked to defend these soldiers, I spent some months destroying Boer farmhouses, burning their crops, herding their women and children into stinking refugee camps where thousands of them have already died from disease … And soldiers like myself and these men have had to carry them out however damned reluctantly."
In the end, the three soldiers are found guilty and sentenced to death. Witton's sentence is commuted to life imprisonment, probably because of his "self-defense" killing of the man from in front of the firing squad. Interestingly, they are found not guilty of the death of the missionary, the one truly questionable act performed, and exonerated based on perjury. In a magnificently ironic scene, Morant and Hancock walk up a hill, briefly in brotherly hand-in-hand, with the backdrop of a beautiful sunrise behind them. They sit in chairs, as if waiting to be served some tea at a mannerly British get-together, and then are killed by a firing squad which lawfully executes them for ordering the same act that the squad is directed to carry out. Morant, expressing the betrayal he feels he has endured, and which suggests he may have ironically been fighting for his real enemy, recites the phrase from the bible which reads, "And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."
At one point, the condemned men's lawyer, Thomas, comments on the confounding essence of war: "The fact of the matter is that war changes men's natures. The barbarities of war are seldom committed by abnormal men. The tragedy of war is that these horrors are committed by normal men in abnormal situations. Situations in which the ebb and flow of everyday life have departed and have been replaced by a constant round of fear and anger, blood and death."
Perhaps the only way to avoid having to wrestle with the difficult questions that war forces us to confront is to avoid waging it in the first place.

Getting The Best Deal On Office Supplies As A Home Business Owner
A lot of people dismiss this type of work as wishful thinking. If you know how to go about it, operating a successful home business of your own may actually be quite possible. Follow these tips to get the low-down on getting your home business off to a good start.
It is important that you dress for success, regardless of the physical location of where you work. You might feel the need to work in pajamas in your home office. Treat your home business like you would an office and dress professionally. Doing this will give you the right attitude to be as fruitful and creative as possible.
Tax Deduction
Business travel expenses, including driving, can be tax deductible if they meet certain criteria created by the IRS. For instance, if you are operating a home business that requires frequent trips to see customers or clients, these travel expenses can be deductible. Your tax situation is going to change once you are a business owner. This means that you could receive a tax deduction for your business-related automobile expenses. This type of tax deduction could be very substantial if your business requires a lot of travel.
Patience is key. Don't raise your hopes of success too high when you are starting to put together your home business. A home business will take both time and effort and you will see growth as you gain experience. Being patient and consistent are fundamental building blocks for your home business.
Banner Links
Set aside a page on your site for banner links. This will enable you to swap banner links with different webmasters that you know. Search engines will improve your rankings because of this, and it also gets you more visibility and traffic.
When providing information to your customers, you have to give them sufficient information to be informed, but not so much that they suffer overload. Let them know about specials, discounts, new content, and so on via your e-mail alerts and newsletters. Don't overload them, however, with too many email updates and communications.
You will get several phone calls when running a home business. Consider buying another phone line so you aren't bombarded with calls at inconvenient times. Being able to turn off the phone ringer when you're not available for receiving calls is quite important.
Maintain all contracts in an easy to find place. Keep other contracts you might need, like with the phone company or your ISP, in this place as well.
Draw up a workable schedule so your business doesn't interfere with your personal life or vice versa. You could ignore business calls after a certain hour, for instance. Allow plenty of time to spend with your family and friends, as well as time to relax and pursue your interests.
As the beginning of this article mentioned, many people dream about running their own home business. Though many share this dream, few have a good idea about how to get started. The advice given here hopefully has given you a few ideas to help point you in the direction towards success in your business

Some Question KR Judges' Soviet-Era Schooling

Tuesday, May 16, 2006
With a question mark hanging over the suitability of some Khmer Rouge tribunal appointees, opinions differed last week as to whether a communist bloc education emphasized the pursuit of truth and justice or loyalty to the ruling party and the security of the state.
Of the 17 Cambodian judges and prosecutors appointed to the tribunal, four received their legal education in

"I believe that all places are the same. The law is the law," Yar Narin said by telephone last week.
"Communist or democrat, the law is the law. If there is a law but there is not enough evidence, we can't charge people," he said.
"There is no difference," said Yar Narin, who was appointed to the tribunal's supreme court chambers.

Legal expert Lao Mong Hay said that the Soviet educations system emphasized loyalty to the party, adding that the courts operated under the assumption that defendants were guilty until proven innocent. "Soviet trial proceedings rely on confessions and a strong degree of assuming guilt," he said.
According to information compiled by the US Library of Congress, education in Soviet countries focused on political indoctrination, while the Supreme Court answered to the Politburo.
The Kazakh president has the power to determine how many judges the country should have and how much they should be paid, the report said.
Except for the Supreme Court, whose members are elected by the Senate based on the president's recommendation, all judges are appointed directly by the president. "In some important respects, the legal system has not changed significantly since the Soviet times," the American Bar Association said.

If there's one thing Nintendo consistently does right in their video games, it's the sound tracks. Nintendo games have the best music.
And since the music covers a variety of feelings, themes, locations and enemies, there's plenty of creepy tunes to go around that are perfectly fitting for Halloween.
Here's a list of songs from Nintendo games to get you in the Halloween mood:
- Luigi's Mansion Theme (Super Smash Bros Brawl)
- Lavender Town (Pokemon Blue/Red)
- Majora's Theme (Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)
- Forest Temple (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
- Shadow Temple (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
- Fungi Forest Night (Donkey Kong 64)
- Forever Forest Theme (Paper Mario)
- Doopliss Battle (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
- Ghostly Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
- Haunty Halls Galaxy (Super Mario Galazy 2)
- Shifty Boo Mansion (Super Mario 3D World)
- Witchyworld (Banjo-Tooie)
- Haunted Woods (Diddy Kong Racing)
- Halloween (Animal Crossing: New Leaf)
- Twisted Mansion (Mario Kart 8)
- Haunted Towers (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)
- Boo Waltz (Super Mario Galaxy)
Also, if you want to fall down a rabbit hole, check out (or re-check out) theories about Lavender Town. It is one of my favorite video game myths because the music really is unsettling. The description in the linked video above for Lavender Town states "This song kind of sounds like death creeping around on tip toes," which yeah that's pretty accurate.

Now that I've had a chance to shoot with quite a few people I've decided that I really love working with people I know. I enjoy working with someone who has never modeled before and is just willing to go for it. Personally I feel like I'd much rather work with someone who has never modeled before but is really into it then someone who knows what they are doing but are only there for the cash.
Blah, blah...... anyway, was fun working with Lisa. It wasn't an easy shoot because I really didn't plan much ahead.... I had no clue what we were gonna do. We played around for quite a bit until we hit something. I was happy that the dress I got fit her so well.
I'm giving up my studio in September.... so I'm trying to shoot as much as possible until then. I'd like to get sort of a series of these style portraits together before I'm done..... then I'll probably take a break from photography for a while.

It's been a while
.... since I've last shot little Ella Bella. I finally had time to go through some of my b&w shots and found some I liked. It's sort of refreshing looking at these. I've been shooting so much "digital" where I go for very specific things and everything is so controlled that I sometimes forget the beauty in simplicity. This makes me want to shoot more film again. These were all shot with my TLR camera. I love that camera, I like the weight, the sound.... the uncertainty of the outcome.

Model: Adya
Hair & Make Up: Contessa Black
Hair & Make Up: Contessa Black
I had a blast on Sunday. I worked with two people who I had never met before which always makes me a tad nervous. As it turned out I had nothing to be nervous about. Both Adya and Contessa were extremely easy to work with and we had so much fun playing with the slime. I chose Adya because she has an interesting face. She's 18 but clearly looks much younger. Despite her age, she was one of the best models I had ever worked with. She really got into character and wasn't afraid to exaggerate expressions and poses.
I created the slime Saturday evening, Adam helped me. It is a wonderful recipe which my friend Robert Morris had passed on to me a while back. Supposedly it doesn't dye your skin should you choose to add color...... uhm, an hour later Adam and I were staring at our bright red lobster hands... yeah apparently red dyed slime does dye your skin. Lol. Anyway, besides the skin discoloration the red didn't look good, I didn't like it (anybody want 4 gallons of red slime?). We ended up making another batch. I was a tad worried because I had no clue if Adya was gonna be up for being covered in slime, as it turned out she was delighted.

How can I stop an illegal foreclosure if the bank won't answer my questions and the law firm won't respond?
My bank is attempting a second illegal foreclosure. They stopped the first one with no explanation. I have an FHA insured loan, so they are required to follow FHA guidelines while servicing my loan. I am attempting to get my loan modified and the bank has stated in writing they are following "investor guidelines". The bank will not answer any of my questions and has completely stopped communicating with me. I have contacted the law firm involved, but the have also refused to return my calls or e-mail. I have filed complaints with HUD, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, and my State Attorney General, but the bank keeps moving forward. The investigations are not complete, and I'm not sure if the bank is responding to the complaints, but is there anything else I could or should be doing? I have little money, so hiring an attorney is out of the question. I have been trying to find an attorney to represent me pro bono, but have had no luck. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
I would also call the 800 number on the making home affordable. gov website
They are the agency put there to help you with these problems since the government is doing everything possible to slow down foreclosures.
They will give you free advise.
From the site:
Call 1-888-995-HOPE (4673) to learn about Making Home Affordable and to speak with a HUD-approved housing counselor for free. If you are having difficulties working with your mortgage company, ask for "MHA Help". …
