Were China and Russia justified in vetoing the UN resolution for Syria?
Given the media blackout surrounding Syria and the dubious fatality statistics, is it fair to suggest that the proposed resolution was rushed/ambiguous and left open possibilities for military intervention? Could it be argued that the USA should have been more prepared to negotiate the terms of the resolution? By vetoing the resolution, have China and Russia contributed to the continued bloodshed, or would the implementation of the resolution only have led to further deaths?
At this time, is Western intervention in Syria appropriate, given the current climate of Civil War?
Does intervention question the sovereignty of Syrian Government?
Is the US using Syria as a platform for an attack/action against Iran?
To what extent would you agree that sanctions proposed by the resolution should not have concentrated solely on e Bashar al-Assad's government, but rather look at calming both the militia and armed rebels groups?
To what extent would you agree that the USA government is hiding its true intentions behind the guise of "Human Rights"?
Is it fair to draw parallels between Syria and Libya?
Feb 9 2012: What is this life but a continuing education class. basically, I am aginst the "veto" system, because it weakens the action of the UN, and it is real sign of tyrany of the most powerful, or should I say, the tyrany of the most fearsome.
I do not think that military intervention is adequate in Sirya, nor was it in Libya. Before flying and bombing populations and infrastructures in this country, one should ask about the outcome of the intervention in Libya. What is the conclusion there? I do not think that democratie is the answer, nor freedom.
The occidental world should open in the UN a real democratic discussion on these subjects affecting the world peace and freedom. Unless, we attack the matters globally, nothing ever will be a success in these revolutions.
We are in support of the people of Sirya because they have the right to choose their ruler, but what are we doing for the people of Saudi Arabia? When we will have an answer to that question, the siryan situation will find an happy solution. Let's note that before the protests started in Sirya, the siryan had 100 light years freedom than Saudies. No one is saying a thing there because the first to open his mouth will have the head cut.
So let's face the truth, if it were to really solve the problem to the real benefit of the siryan, the UN should address "universal human rights" principle to all his members, including China and Russia. Then we'll see if they oppose a liberating action afterward.
Feb 9 2012: I agree! support the people..... but lets find a clear decision on the will of the people first, before crushing the regime and assuming thats what the population wants.
I also agree with the open debate about world peace and freedom that we must put to the USA!! The UN claims to provide this forum for discussion but it is clear that it is insufficient in coming to agreement AND openly and honestly recognising the need to end conflict............ Perhaps some countries are too highly invested in these conflicts to genuinely want to see them end?Feb 12 2012: YES. China and Russia are justified in my book.Feb 12 2012: China and Russia are rightfully shivering in their own boots, knowing that the people of their countries are losing patience with the injustices and corruption and will be rising up to throw off the people at the top who are oppressing and exploiting them. In other words, those who vetoed the UN resolution are identifying with Assad, the man who is murdering his own people to keep himself in power, rather than caring about the hundreds and perhaps thousands of people being murdered by the tyrant Assad. Russia and China now share responsibility with Assad for the deaths of hundreds of Syrian people.
Feb 13 2012: Although Al Qaeda now support the rebel uprising..... hmmmm, Ayman al-Zawahiri re-forming Osama Bin Ladens old bonds with the USA?
Feb 11 2012: By vetoing the resolution, have China and Russia contributed to the continued bloodshed, or would the implementation of the resolution only have led to further deaths?

Of course they continued the bloodshed , they still do that . The power is the most important thing in game now , not the bloodshed .
To what extent would you agree that the USA government is hiding its true intentions behind the guise of "Human Rights"? As I said the power is what matters and nothing else , it's naive to think otherwise . But it is a normal thing to happen .Feb 10 2012: Most of the countries at the frontline supporting military intervention are these ones who first sold to Sirya all the weapons Sirya is using to crush down his people. The one who are opposing the intervention are still selling weapons to Sirya. and yet no one has the courage to call them outloud ACCOMPLICES to the human tragedy taking place there.
It is a very tricky situation, but how many of these are we to solve in the years to come? The bottom line is, we ought to revise the functionning of the UN and its missions. By doing so, we will reduce the influence of the US, Russia, France, United Kingdom, China, in making the decision for the world. A more equal world may evolve, as democracy is set there. Taht will be the greatest sign to show all the ruler of this world that things have changed for better.Feb 9 2012: Syria is a country where Christianity, Islam and Judaism coexist in peace and respect each other since a long time.
There is currently a rebel group in Syria which has it's unconditional support by the western media, just like in Libya, but this armed rebel group has failed to instill fear into the people's mind for now. In my opinion, what the medias are saying about Syria is pure propaganda in order to bring UN troops there to massacre the civilian population just like they did in Libya and kill (without proper justice trial) the Syrian Leader Bashar al-Assad just like they did with Kadhafi.
Al-Qaida is a CIA rebel terrorist group, used like a pawn by the CIA to instill fear and bring a justification to war, wherever and whenever they want for whatever reasons.
Wake up guys, it's all media propaganda the majority of the west believe without question, without research, they just believe it because they have been trapped by this group of extremely rich people manipulating the world to do their bidding.
Syria is a country where Christians, Muslims and Jewish people lived together without conflicts for centuries, it's one of the most solid multicultural community of monotheistic religions.
Allow this peace to stand, don't believe the lying main stream medias, they only serves their owners financial interests.
China and Russia don't want a nuclear war to occur but they know that is what this series of wars in the middle east will ultimately lead to this, they are trying to help the world to stay healthy without a global nuclear conflict.
DO NOT ALLOW ISRAEL TO BOMB IRAN, because this will pull the trigger of the FINAL CATACLYSM.Feb 9 2012: 1. As I am sure you have noticed, China and Russia are playing a constant game of "ballancing" the decisions the U.S. makes. And by "ballancing" I mean in fact opposing without any other reason than maybe to assert their position as great powers whose decision weighs heavy. It's a game of image and international prestige.
2. The West is not bound to intervene anywhere, unless there's interest of any sorts in the region, be it economical or military. The pretext to intervention is already at hand: "to avoid further bloodshed, maintain peace in the region and ensure a democratic system". It is only a matter of what will bring more benefits: intervening or not intervening?
3. Intervention might generate the exact opposite and provide legitimacy to Syrian Government, and the blame will fall again on the U.S. for playing their imperialistic games.
4. Syria is not the only strategic location in the region the U.S. could use for an eventual attack on Iran.
5. The resolution was not intended to solve conflicts, the resolution was intended strictly to be ignored by the Bashar-al Assad's regime thus justifying intervention.
6. I am not even going to answer that. History speaks for itself.
7. I suppose one could draw a line between the two, though I am aware there are a lot of differences in the background of libyan and syrian uprisings.Feb 9 2012: War and human rights in the same sentence?
Hypocrites.Feb 9 2012: We really never what the U.S. and the great britain are thinking , but we know that our best option.
It is to save more and more peole regardless of I , you , we , They.
God bless you
Feb 9 2012: LOL
Comment deleted
Feb 9 2012: I agree that the Lybia resolution was hasty, which seems to support the veto, although as you correctly say for humanitarian reasons it is essential that a solution is found sooner rather than later.....Contradiction and Hypocrisy are everywhere! Perhaps the USA use "humanitarian reasons" as a means to their ends? perhaps they hide behind this sheild to gain support for altereor motives (im no conspiracy theorist but, hey, all the evidence points to this)Feb 9 2012: If you're not looking for a philosophical answer, then chances are you're looking for a partisan answer which is rarely subjective. Maybe we do need to embrace the East meets West dilemma. There are intelligent, concerned, well-meaning individuals on both sides of that divide. What are the philosophical/experiential underpinnings which create that separation? How do we bridge that gap? If the only thing we consider is our version of reality, then conflict is inevitable.
As for the Lebanon issue, the US did send troops into Lebanon to intervene in the civil war, with disastrous consequences and with no solution to the internal problems. As painful as it may be to stand on the sidelines and watch good people get hurt, imposition of a military solution by an outside force can cause more problems that it solves. Intervention may only work when all parties tire of the destruction and agree that an outside "referee" is desirable.
Overall what I'm suggesting is a search for common ground, an understanding of interests and insecurities of our bargaining partners. Unfortunately, politics seems to demand a great deal of public posturing which works against cooperation.
Feb 9 2012: As you can tell, I am not well read on the Lebanon issue :-p
I agree that military action from outside can (and most likely will) cause additional atrocities and create a more complicated road to recovery. Engaging in thoughts of the Utopian/Realist visions of conflict is a worthwhile practice, although (as you wisely mention) subjectivity is essential. We must take into account the individual scenario at question, and in the age of globalisation and interdependence, it would seem that too much is at stake and self-interest must be protected at all costs.... If we view things like this then it becomes clear that despite "advancements" in our society, national agenda and therefore corruption, are not blurred across the borders as we are led to believeFeb 9 2012: I believe the answer to most of your questions is "I don't think so" - intervention, attack platform, sanctions against militia, hiding US intentions, and parallel between Syria and Libya.
The answer to your opening question regarding the veto is self-evident; given their perceived self-interests, they were completely justified in their actions. We can discuss the validity of their perceived self-interests, but we can only do so from the vantage point of our own perceived self-interests.
I think a more appropriate parallel might be between Lebanon and Syria with all that that implies.
Feb 9 2012: A slightly more philosophical answer than I might've hoped for, perceived self-interests and what not. It is clear that every nation has an agenda, whether that be advantages/disadvantages for intervention in the country at question or its reputation in the international community. However, I do find the "stuck in our own mentality" perspective to be both interesting and challenging to grasp, although we have to avoid the classic East meets West dilemma.
With regards to the Lebanon-Israel war, we can see that a simple resolution calling for a ceasefire was enough to "end" the bloodshed, no military action needed, low and behold USA not calling for military action against Israel *yawn*.. If we are to draw parallels with Syria, could we not assert that the situation does not require a Western military presence (which c'mon lets face it would have happened with the resolution eventually) and through active diplomacy the situation may be "cooled". I don't think the USA's vision of the spread of democracy encourages much faith either... Even if elections were held, how many people would turn up to vote? how many of these would be extremists? would the elections not create huge groups of like-minded people congregating... either sitting ducks for a terrorist attack or setting the wheels in motion for violent clashes and protests?

Occupation: Research Assistant, Stroud Water Research Center, Avondale, PA
"The incredible field experiences and warm community of the West Chester University department of Geology and Astronomy facilitated such a wonderful learning environment. Not only did I learn the technical intricacies of the geoscience field, but most importantly I was taught how to continually apply this knowledge in creative ways to ask more questions and to solve multidisciplinary problems. The amazing faculty in this department created in me an ability to build my career within the context of who I am and where I want to go."
Name: Russell Losco, B.A., M.A., PG, CPSS
WCU Degree: M.A. Geoscience, 2009
Current Location: West Grove, PA
Occupation: Principal Geologist & Soil Scientist, Lanchester Soil Consultants, Inc
Completing a master's degree in geoscience at West Chester University opened countless opportunities for me. In addition to allowing me to become licensed as a Professional Geologist, I am now an adjunct professor, a published author with several peer-reviewed publications, and am active on a national scale in research and in professional organizations. The geographical range and scope of my work has increased dramatically based upon the knowledge and experience that I gained through West Chester.
Name: Maureen Moore, class of 2007
WCU Degree: B.S. Geology & B.S.E.D. Earth & Space Science Secondary Education (dual degree)
Occupation: Geologist, Newmont Mining Corporation.
While attending West Chester University, I got the opportunity to be a part of the Geology & Astronomy Department. The well-rounded education I received from West Chester University has set me up to use my degree in a variety of disciplines within the field of Geology and Earth Sciences. Prior to pursing a graduate degree in Economic Geology and Ore Deposits, I had the opportunity to work for an environmental consulting firm directly supporting DuPont. I am currently working as a geologist in the emerging talent program at Newmont Mining Corporation in Denver, Colorado. The emerging talent program allows students coming out of graduate school to get exposed to the different geologic disciplines within the mining industry. My current focus within the program is precious and base metal mineral exploration. Without the solid geologic foundation I received from WCU, I would not have the opportunities I have.

Actually, given the comments from Microsoft and Google, it's entirely possible that they might be. Neither of them things voice recognition has much value, so why spend money on it?
Sure I do. Search this forum for thousands of posts from PC people arguing that their PC was so superior to the Mac because the Mac didn't have a native version of Doom/warfare/shootemup of the month.
There's probably a lot of truth to that. Google only invests in things that might improve their ad revenue. Although I'm sure they'll find a way around that problem - like emailing your ads to you after you make a voice search request.
But, you (from your device, location, IP address, cookies, etc.) won't make the request to Google -- Siri will, through Apple's servers... Google will not know who you are or be able to mine your data!
NCDC is going to get a lot of advertising spam.
By using Siri, we are deputizing her to protect our privacy!

I usually charge $70/hr and .75 cents/kilometre and a 5%consumable surcharge(wire,rods,discs,oxy,ect...) and a 25% mark up on steel or aluminum.When you get your truck fixed at the shop you pay for parts,bolts,labour,oil,computer scan ect.Nothing is free.If it is a job that you know you wont be able to charge all your hours,i usually tell them that i will do it but if i get a call out,that takes priority and usually offer them a flat rate plus materials.

I also find this an interesting thread since I often find myself in a similar position trying to determine the charge for a job. I like the idea of what it would cost the second time. This seems like a more than fair way since the customer doesn't pay for "head scratching" time. BTW, I do a lot of that but know that it's something that might not be fair to the customer to charge for. Let me try to clarify that. If it's a job that is common, such as ramps, then I would try to bill what I feel like is a reasonable amount based on what I think the job would cost on average if others did it with the same quality work. My girlfriend and I are always discussing what the charges should be when I say something like "I spent too much time". She says to charge for it and I say "I can only charge so much for such and such". I do good work, but also realize that certain things are only worth a certain amount and it doesn't matter how much time is involved. I probably do a lot of jobs too cheap, but I try to be fair and sleep good at night.Jim

Gallery: The Beautifully Unfolding Ocho Casas Housing Complex
Frequent passerby in the neighborhood of Santa Margarita, Spain may find themselves a bit lost when they can't seem to find the white wall they just passed by. Appearing at first as a simple sheet of folded paper, this beautiful white-walled building features a facade of panels that open in brilliant pops of color. Designed by Romera y Ruiz Arquitectos, "Ocho casas inscritas y tres patios" is a sustainably constructed social housing complex with a facade that changes according to the wishes of its inhabitants!
Showing once again that Spanish architects are at the forefront of simple yet effective architectural design Romera y Ruiz Arquitectos Ocho Casas project was nominated as a finalist at the World Architecture Festival recently held in Barcelona. The name translates to "Eight inscribed houses and three courtyards", referring to the unique geometry of the building, which essentially allows each unit to share one of the three patios within.
The main goal of the project was to reduce the natural resource consumption of an apartment block without impacting the comfort of its residents. To do so, the project maximizes the environmental performance of the building. It comes equiped with a water collection and reuse system, is constructed of low or non-toxic materials, and it incorporates smart building practices that require less resources for its construction and ongoing maintenance.
By far the most noticeable aspect of the project is its colorful facade. Inspired by the folds of paper in origami, the facade changes according to the needs of each individual apartment. When completely closed, the facade presents a solid white wall to the outside that is broken up by small irregular shapes. As the users within the units wish to have light shine into their residences, parts of the solid wall are open up to reveal an interior face and a splash of color that complements and changes the overall look and feel of the facade. This small design touch is not just for looks – this wall of the building acts as a passive system that naturally controls the temperature and ventilation of each unit.
Social housing and sustainable design are two concepts which are sadly seldom combined. The Ocho Casas complex proves that
affordable green housing can change our neighborhoods for the better, and we are glad to see inspired and beautifully executed projects such as this.

From what I can see on the planes, that façade -and the building itself- it's just eye-candy. I can't really deduce what's the point of the triangular shapes: on the planes from the inside, they apeear "grey" like there's nothing in there, and from the outside, there isn't even a handrail that permits using it as a balcony. Then, the windows on the façade are minimum compared to the room space, minimizing daylight, and all due to the not-so-beautiful façade. Completely clueless.
It it wasn't enough, the typical planning of de home distribuition, with a long corridor and rooms to the sides, that's zero innovation and risk to take from the architects. That's a pretty pretentious building, I have to say.

Sneaky Pete Cues
The Sneaky Pete or Hustler style cue is the oldest and most traditional design for a two piece cue. The original concept for the Sneaky Pete was to create a cue that would look like a standard bar cue when assembled.
Today, fewer people buy Sneaky Pete cues for the sole purpose of hustling unsuspecting pool players. Because of the traditional style and inherent beauty of the Sneaky Pete, it remains one of the most popular and best selling pool cue design styles on the market today.

Both Alabama and Oklahoma St. lost control of their own destiny when they lost. Bama lost to the #1 team in the country in overtime by a field goal. Oklahoma St. lost to an unranked team.

The Story of Kansas ticketsThough the rock group Kansas has been compared to other progressive rock bands of the 1970s, such as Genesis, Yes and King Crimson, Kansas definitely forged a sound all their own. With a violin and two keyboards, their orchestrations and timbres gave their music a complex, layered texture not often heard in rock. Kansas began in 1970 with Dave Hope on bass, Phil Ehart on drums, and Kerry Livgren, guitars and keyboards, who were from Topeka, Kansas. They were joined by singer Steve Walsh, vocalists Lynn Meredith and Joel Warne, and keyboardists Don Montre and Dan Wright. Robbie Steinhardt later joined on vocals, violin, viola and cello, and the band singed with Don Kirshner to record their debut album, Kansas in 1974, immediately defining their sound with sophisticated musical arrangements, changing time signatures and layered vocal harmonies. They began building a loyal following with the release of two more albums, Song for America, which included the title single, a longtime fan favorite, and Masque. But the band's real success came with the 1976 release of Leftoverture, which included the Top Ten hit 'Carry On Wayward Son,' followed closely by Point of Know Return with the hit single 'Dust in the Wind,' an anthem that has been much covered over the years, as well as 'Point of Know Return.' Several hits have followed, including 'People of the South Wind,' 'Hold On,' and 'Lonely Wind,' as Kansas has continued performing and recording through the years. Kansas tickets are a chance to see one of progressive rock's defining bands, though one with a sound all its own.

De Sundarbans
Het Sundarbans-mangrovebos is een van de grootste bossen ter wereld met zijn 140.000 hectare. Het bos ligt aan de delta van de rivieren Ganges, Brahmaputra en Meghna, aan de Golf van Bengalen en grenst aan de Sundarbans van India dat apart op de Werelderfgoedlijst is opgenomen. Het gebied wordt doorkruist door een complex netwerk van getijdenwaterwegen, slikken en eilandjes van zouttolerante mangrovebossen. De sundarbans zijn daarmee een goed voorbeeld van een plek waar permanent ecologische processen plaatsvinden. Het gebied staat verder bekend om zijn brede scala aan fauna, waaronder 260 vogelsoorten, de Bengaalse tijger en andere bedreigde soorten zoals de estuariene krokodil en de Indische python.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The Sundarbans contain the world's largest mangrove forests and one of the most biologically productive of all natural ecosystems. Located at the mouth of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers between India and Bangladesh, its forest and waterways support a wide range of' fauna including a number of species threatened with extinction. The mangrove habitat supports the single largest population of tigers in the world which have adapted to an almost amphibious life, being capable of swimming for long distances and feeding on fish, crab and water monitor lizards. They are also renowned for being "man-eaters", most probably due to their relatively high frequency of encounters with local people.
The islands are also of great economic importance as a storm barrier, shore stabiliser, nutrient and sediment trap, a source of timber and natural resources, and support a wide variety of aquatic, benthic and terrestrial organisms. They are an excellent example of the ecological processes of monsoon rain flooding, delta formation, tidal influence and plant colonisation. Covering 133,010 ha, the area is estimated to comprise about 55% forest land and 45% wetlands in the form of tidal rivers, creeks, canals and vast estuarine mouths of the river. About 66% of the entire mangrove forest area is estimated to occur in Bangladesh, with the remaining 34% in India.
Criterion (ix): The Sundarbans is the largest area of mangrove forest in the world and the only one that is inhabited by the tiger. The land area in the Sundarbans is constantly being changed, moulded and shaped by the action of the tides, with erosion processes more prominent along estuaries and deposition processes along the banks of inner estuarine waterways influenced by the accelerated discharge of silt from sea water. Its role as a wetland nursery for marine organisms and as a climatic buffer against cyclones is a unique natural process.
Criterion (x): The mangrove ecosystem of the Sundarbans is considered to be unique because of its immensely rich mangrove flora and mangrove-associated fauna. Some 78 species of mangroves have been recorded in the area making it the richest mangrove forest in the world. It is also unique as the mangroves are not only dominant as fringing mangroves along the creeks and backwaters, but also grow along the sides of rivers in muddy as well as in flat, sandy areas.
The Sundarbans support a wealth of animal species including the single largest population of tiger and a number of other threatened aquatic mammals such as the Irrawaddy and Ganges River dolphins. The site also contains an exceptional number of threatened reptiles including the king cobra and significant populations of the endemic river terrapin which was once believed to be extinct. The property provides nesting grounds for marine turtles including the olive riley, green and hawksbill. Two of the four species of highly primitive horseshoe crab (Tachypleus gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda) are found here. The Sajnakhali area, listed as an Important Bird Area, contains a wealth of waterfowl and is of high importance for migratory birds.
The property is situated within a larger UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that was designated in November, 2001. It is well protected and largely undisturbed as it is surrounded by three wildlife sanctuaries which act as a buffer zone, as recommended in the original 1987 evaluation report. However, the salinity of the Indian Sundarbans, largely due to the eastward shift of the mouth of the Ganges, is being influenced by upstream diversion of up to 40% of the dry season flow of the Ganges, the repercussions of which are not clearly understood. Oil spills are a potential threat which cause immense damage, especially to aquatic fauna and seabirds and probably also to the forest itself into which oil could be carried by high tides. An average of 45 people were killed annually by tigers from 1975-1982. This has caused certain conflicts with local people who use the adjacent Tiger Reserve for collection of honey and firewood and for fishing.
Protection and management requirements
The legal protection provided to the property is adequate. The Indian Forest Act, 1927 with its amendments, Forest Conservation Act 1980, Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and Environment Protection Act 1986 are being effectively implemented, with rules and regulation regarding environmental pollution strictly enforced. The existing laws are sufficiently strict in respect to the protection and conservation of the property.
The property is currently in a good state of conservation with regular maintenance undertaken according to a set maintenance schedule. There is an approved Management Plan of the property.
With the existing infrastructure, the Forest Department is making its best efforts, although there is a need to maintain and enhance the level of financial and human resources to effectively manage the property. This includes an ecosystem approach that integrates the management of the existing protected areas with other key activities occurring in the property, including fisheries and tourism. There is a need to develop alternate livelihood options for the local population to eliminate the dependence of people on the Sundarbans ecosystem for sustenance. Maintenance of participatory approaches in planning and management of the property is needed to reinforce the support and commitment from local communities and NGOs to the conservation and management of the property. Research and monitoring activities also require adequate resources
Long Description
The site lies south-east of Calcutta in the District of West Bengal and forms part of the Gangetic Delta, which borders on the Bay of Bengal. The Sundarbans, covering some 10,000 km2 of mangrove forest and water, is part of the world's largest delta formed from sediments deposited by three great rivers, the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna, which converge on the Bengal Basin.
The whole Sundarbans area is intersected by an intricate network of interconnecting waterways, of which the larger channels are often a kilometre or two in width and run in a north-south direction. These waterways now carry little freshwater as they are mostly cut off from the Ganges, the outflow of which has shifted from the Hooghly-Bhagirathi channels progressively eastwards since the 17th century. This is due to subsidence of the Bengal Basin and a gradual eastward tilting of the overlying crust. In the Indian Sundarbans, the western portion receives some freshwater through the Bhagirathi-Hooghly river system but that portion designated as the tiger reserve is essentially land-locked, its rivers having become almost completely cut off from the main freshwater sources over the last 600 years. Thus, waterways in the tiger reserve are maintained largely by the diurnal tidal flow, the average rise and fall being about 2.15 m on the coast and up to 5.68 m on Sagar Island.
The land is constantly being changed, moulded and shaped by the action of the tides, with erosion processes more prominent along estuaries and deposition processes along the banks of inner estuarine waterways influenced by the accelerated discharge of silt from seawater. About half of the Sundarbans is under water and the rest of the landscape is characterized by low-lying alluvial islands and mudbanks, with sandy beaches and dunes along the coast.
The entire mangrove forest extends over an area of 4,262 km2 , of which 2,320 km2 is forest and the rest is water, and is called Sundarban owing to the dominance of the tree species Heritiera fomes , locally known as 'sundari'. This marsh vegetation consists of elements of the Malayan Peninsular and Polynesian regions, together with some Indo-Chinese, Ethiopian and a few of the New World. It is not found elsewhere except in a small part of the Mahanadi and Godaveri deltas to the south-west and the Bay Islands.
The Sundarbans is the only remaining habitat in the lower Bengal Basin for a great variety of faunal species. Some of this variety, however, has already been lost owing to the reclamation of the broad transitional belt of habitat for agriculture, combined with the higher salinity resulting partly from the large-scale irrigation schemes in the upper reaches of the Ganges. Species include the Javan rhinoceros and water buffalo, swamp deer and Indian muntjac. Similarly, gharial and narrow-headed softshell turtle became locally extinct within the last 100 years. The tiger population is the largest in India. High population density, relative to the availability of prey, and the relatively high frequency of encounters with local people is probably largely responsible for the notorious man-eating habits of the Sundarbans tiger. The only ungulates are wild boar, main prey species of the tiger, and spotted deer, which is plentiful and often seen in association with rhesus macaque. Aquatic mammals that frequent the tidal waters include the Ganges dolphin, Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin, Irrawaddy dolphin and finless porpoise
The Sajnakhali area contains a wealth of waterbirds, noteworthy residents including Asian open-bill stork, black-necked stork, greater adjutant, white ibis, swamp francolin, white-collared kingfisher, black-capped kingfisher and brown-winged kingfisher. This area is important for waders, a rare winter migrant and marsh birds. The Sundarbans provide important habitat for a variety of reptiles.
Baghmara Forest Block contains the ruins of a city built by the Chaand Sandagar merchant community in approximately AD 200-300. Much later, during the Moghul Empire, Raja Basand Rai and his nephew took refuge in the Sundarbans from the advancing armies of Emperor Akbar. The buildings they erected subsequently fell to Portuguese pirates, salt smugglers and dacoits in the 17th century.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Even if it's true, let's forget the "great American novel" business regarding "The Great Gatsby" for a minute. What makes F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, published in the spring of 1925 but set three years earlier, such a haunted portrait of a time, a place and a Lost Generation dream?
The work's spellbinding qualities, I think, lie less with the beauty of the prose (although God knows it's beautiful, and not just on the surface) than with the psyche of the author so eager to sum it all up and explain the Jazz Age mania and conspicuous consumption and reckless, self-deluding love. By most accounts, Fitzgerald was a touchy, insecure alcoholic (dead by 44) who craved the critical respect and popularity that, despite his success, remained just out of reach — ungraspable, like the light at the end of Daisy Buchanan's pier across the bay.
Writing about the mysterious Jay Gatsby, through the eyes of Daisy's cousin, Nick Carraway, Fitzgerald was wrestling with a gorgeous illusion of a man. The author, who completed "Gatsby" while living on the Cote d'Azur in the south of France with his fatally "colorful" wife, Zelda, never completely resolved his feelings of envy and of contempt for the Gatsby crowd, nor of his own uneasy self-regard. He knew what it meant to be on the outside looking in, even when he was in.
"When I like men I want to be like them," Fitzgerald once wrote. "I want to lose the outer qualities that give me my individuality and be like them. I don't want the man; I want to absorb into myself all the qualities that make him attractive and leave him out." We're very close to Patricia Highsmith's Mr. Ripley here.
None of that for director and co-adapter Baz Luhrmann. It's party time! Despite a few good ideas and the uniformly splendid production and costume designs by Luhrmann's mate and partner, Catherine Martin, this frenzied adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" is all look and no feel.
If you liked "Moulin Rouge!" — Luhrmann's hyperactive ode to Paris at the end of the 19th century — you'll probably find a lot to admire here. In fragments, the look is enough. Our first clear vision of the bootlegger? Murderer? Stock manipulator? Gatsby, portrayed as 100 variations on the theme of Arrow Collar perfection by Leonardo DiCaprio, is beyond grand opera. On his veranda, the fireworks booming behind him on cue, Gatsby turns and announces himself and bang! George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" reaches its climax. There's really nowhere to go from there.
And yet the story has just begun to tell itself. Working with co-writer Craig Pearce, Luhrmann invents scenes with Nick, played by a diffident, glassy-eyed Tobey Maguire, diagnosed as "morbidly alcoholic" and drying out at a Menninger's-type clinic, where he struggles to write his life story as it pertains to Gatsby; his beloved Kentucky debutante Daisy, played by Carey Mulligan; Daisy's vicious and philandering husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton); and the languorous golf pro Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki).
The soundtrack for Gatsby and Daisy's love story, much like the one heard in "Moulin Rouge!" and countless other films, including Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette," is gleefully way, way out of period. Shawn "Jay Z" Carter served as executive producer on Luhrmann's film, and the tracks range from will.i.am to Florence + the Machine. One era evokes another: The bashes remain the same, only the music changes.
The script remains quite faithful to Fitzgerald in many respects, other than the framing device of Nick in the sanatorium. The acting is not the issue here. There's a moment in a key scene, a sweltering apartment confrontation between DiCaprio's Gatsby and Edgerton's Tom, when Gatsby loses his vaunted cool. It's quick and scary and, because DiCaprio is unafraid of raw emotion, startlingly effective. And then it's gone, and we're back to too much computer-generated imagery (although some of the panoramas of the 1920s Manhattan skyline and of West Egg and East Egg, Long Island, are lovely); restless, hurtling editing rhythms designed to grind every conversation to a series of mini-halts; and yet another showcase for designer Martin's pearly taste in shirts and jewelry. Shooting in 3-D, because he could, Luhrmann's dalliance in this particular visual universe is neither a hindrance nor a help. It's simply more stuff, in a movie already stuffed with stuff where the dramatic stuffing should be.
My favorite Luhrmann to date wasn't a film at all: It was his 2002 Broadway staging of Puccini's "La Boheme," which was full of grand concepts and bold design strokes, far more selectively handled. The greatest "Gatsby," besides Fitzgerald's? That's easy: "Gatz," the six-and-a-half-hour theatrical version presented, with every word of Fitzgerald's spoken onstage, by Elevator Repair Service. (It played Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art in 2008.) There the mystery of Gatsby, the illusion, and Fitzgerald, the illusion-loving literary striver, remained miraculously intact and powerful. Despite the best efforts of DiCaprio, Mulligan and Edgerton, all I really got out of Luhrmann's movie was a half-developed notion of Gatsby as the freewheeling, vaguely psychotic auteur of his own movie. There's always something to watch. But the actors' efforts to get something going the old-fashioned way — by interacting with each other, in the service of the characters — get shoved to the sidelines, in favor of one more blast of glitter.

Friday, March 07, 2003NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (Mar. 7, 2003) - East Tennessee State freshman guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) scored 17 points and junior forward Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) added 16 points and 14 rebounds as the Bucs scored a 64-55 win over College of Charleston in the semifinals of the Mountain Dew Southern Conference Tournament at the North Charleston Coliseum. East Tennessee State will advance to its first SoCon Championship game since 1993. The win gives the Bucs a 19-10 record while College of Charleston falls to 24-7. ETSU jumped to a 12-point lead early on, taking a 19-7 advantage less than seven minutes into the contest. The Bucs led by six at half, 33-27. The Cougars were able to forge a tie at 44 with 14:04 to play in the game and led briefly at 46-44 before the game was tied again at 46. East Tennessee State went on a 9-2 run to take a 55-48 lead College of Charleston was able to close to within four points at 58-54 witnb 1:28 to play but could get no closer. The Bucs made six straight free throws in the final 33 seconds to hold off the Cougars. Wadood also had a game-high four steals, while Smith addad seven rebounds and a team-high four assists. Mike Benton led CofC in scoring with 13 points and 14 rebounds. College of Charleston was held to 29.9 field goal percentage on 20 of 67 shooting from the floor. ETSU outrebounded the Cougars, 49-47. ETSU will face the winner of the Chattanooga-VMI game at 6 pm on ESPN2 on Saturday, March 8 in the Southern Conference Championship Game. ETSU Postgame Quotes Head Coach Ed DeChellis "This was another great basketball game. My hat goes off to our players, especially these three (Zakee Wadood, Jerald Fields and Tim Smith). They really led down the stretch, with everyone stepping up and making big plays and getting big rebounds. I'm very proud of our team and the next game will be a lot of fun." "Defensively we were very solid this evening; it was possibly the best we've played all year. We knew the rebounding edge would be a big factor and I can see that we had that advantage tonight." "We tried to get into College of Charleston tonight and not allow them to get into a rhythm. We didn't want to give Troy (Wheless) open looks. We wanted to make him work for everything he got." "It was very important to get big minutes from (Brad) Nuckles and (Isaac) Potter. I'm incredibly proud of our bench. It is good to get the increased confidence heading into the championship game." Freshman Guard Tim Smith (on stalling C of C run) "I really fed off (Ryan) Lawson to settle the team down during Charleston's run. He told me we didn't need to push it so I followed his lead." Junior Forward Zakee Wadood (on his production on the floor) "With Jerald (Fields) in foul trouble, we didn't have one of our main scoring options on the floor. Coach wanted to spread the floor and have me try and create some offensive opportunities."

Step 1: Power source
-high current supply
-crocodile clips
Before I started making projects with high voltage or any kind of projects I had the unpleasant experience to get electrocuted at 220v at 1amp and I survived so I know the risk
Stay safe!
yes I been shocked many times but also electrocuted.
"you will be on the other side of the room" this is in the movies, I got electrocuted in the arm and all my muscles in that area got tense . you are able to think in that moment and you pull your tense arm with the other or call for help.
Way late to the party but, I have a friend who is a trained electrician (trained by FoMoCo)
He regularly used the back of his hand to check 415V circuits. Said after 15+ yrs, it just tickled a bit
As for the rest,
I don't know much about electronics but
and I wouldn't expect a ball of flame but probably crack or exploding
epoxy due to thermal shock?
What is the chemistry behind reviving a
'dead' LED? I have a few that were over volted (not by me) and have
turned brown, I don't think this would help them?
A flash cap would have hurt a heck of a lot
" and The Darwin Award goes to morphic cu ion ..."
For example. Bill is equal to a 1500 ohm resistor. To get 0.2 amp through him you would need 300 volts.
Have you tried this with any other colour of LED? Do you know what voltage your power supply was outputting?

Midwest Living Review
What attracts folks who've cruised the world on ships the size of small cities to a small-boat cruise on the Great Lakes? We found out when we took the Great Lakes Grand Discovery cruise aboard the 138-passenger Yorktown. Owned by Travel Dynamics International, the four-level yacht, staffed by a friendly and attentive 40-person American crew, offers a main deck (including a large dining room), lounge deck (with observation, entertainment, lecture area), promenade deck and sun deck. Comfortably appointed, the two-bed cabins feature a large window, ample storage space, and a safe, desk and toiletries.
Our 11-day cruise begain in Duluth and ended in Detroit. Ports of call included Bayfield, Wisconsin, and Houghton, Whitefish Point, Sault Ste. Marie, Charlevoix, Saugatuck and Mackinac Island, Michigan. At each port, guests could disembark and take the offered tour (such as visiting a copper mine) or activity (like sea kayaking), or stay on board and relax. What really sets these cruises apart is the overall philosophy of catering to travelers seeking not only to see sites but also to learn about them. Guests attend presentations each evening by on-board lecturers. Lively conversations follow the well-attended presentations, enriching the overall experience.
So why did a majority of the 88 guests take this trip on a small boat? Two reasons stood out: 1) Many had never seen the Great Lakes and 2) the camaraderie. You meet as strangers, you depart as friends. That just doesn't happen on a large ship. But this all comes at a cost; prices for these 11-day journeys start at $4,995, including drinks and meals (the five-course dinners in particular are outstanding). It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, worth doing if you can.

At the first appointment, you will view a video about the procedure you are interested in and be examined by the doctor. He will discuss with you treatment options, the pros and cons of the surgery and what to expect during and after the surgery. We also have preoperative and postoperative photographs you may view if desired. Afetr the consultation, you may then speak to our surgery scheduling coordinator who will go over costs and the surgery schedule with you. If you would like to schedule at this point, you may or you can go home and think about it and call to schedule later. A preoperative appointment is required a week or two before the surgery date. At this appointment, the doctor will review the procedure again with you and answer any questions you have. Preoperative photographs will also be taken at this time.
