Does the Illuminati want to destroy the human race for "GOOD REASONS"?

Why not. I look at the asleep people around me in the slums and on wellfare. The lower and upper middle class watching their Idol and BB... do they deserve to live?
Im sure the Illuminati would look at me the same way... hmm?

The philosophy presented by the "The League of Shadows" was not what you're saying at all. They were saying the common man was a victim of a corrupt system and that the common man deserved better.
Therefore, the system had to be destroyed when the corruption was too great. "The League of Shadows" was trying to give the common man a chance and the common man has no chance when the system becomes too corrupt. Read the dialogue again and I think you'll see the true meaning.
Anonymous Coward 1039049
I agree with this.
Further more this is exactly what was said to have happened in Atlantis. Keeping this in perspective of course EARTH was not destroyed ONLY the continent of Atlantis.
It was the corruption which set in amongst the ranks of the ruling priests that eventually led to it's demise.
So, I'm guessing that this may well happen to another continent on earth now because I think we have nearly reached the tipping point.
I think the only thing that has prevented this so far is the
"White Hats" preventing or stopping things at the last minute.
But in retrospect there are many parts of the planet especially the Middle East that are constantly under attack and are under media blackout. So It's difficult to make an accurate judgement on this with the corporate owned media in control.

The Last Englishman: The Double Life of Arthur Ransome (Paperback)Roland Chambers
Paperback Published: 01/05/2010
- In stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
Arthur Ransome was, from 1930 to the early 1960s, what J.K. Rowling is today: author of a series of children's books which shaped the imagination of a generation. Rooted in the heyday of the British Empire, Swallows and Amazons and its sequels described a nostalgic Utopia. Yet before that, Arthur Ransome was famous for different reasons. Between 1917 and 1924, as Russian correspondent for the Daily News and Manchester Guardian, he was an uncritical apologist for the Bolshevik regime, with unique access to the revolutionary leaders. As the Red Army engaged with an Allied invasion of Russia, Ransome was conducting a love affair with Evgenia Shelepina, private secretary to Leon Trotsky, then Soviet Commissar for War. As the intimate friend of Karl Radek, the Bolshevik Chief of Propaganda, he denied the Red Terror and compared Lenin to Oliver Cromwell. No English journalist was considered more controversial, or more damaging to British security. At Whitehall, he was accused of being the paid agent of a hostile power and only narrowly escaped prosecution for treason. This is a fascinating, often chilling revision of an English icon through the most formative decade of the twentieth century.

However, i need it to work with just the hidden field as the input, which means i can't use the onKeyUp event to trigger the script. The hidden field's value is updated by a different script.
I can post the other (long) script if needed.

Atlanta's long-running series for avant-garde cinema, Film Love, returns this weekend with a premiere of new works by Atlanta-based filmmaker Robbie Land. The screening will include a selection of Land's older shorts alongside four recently completed films: "Precipice," "Old Florida Salt Marsh," "Micanopy Winter Wonderland," and "Floridaland."
Land's work is noted for using a number of unusual production techniques, including composing entire works without a camera by adhere materials directly the to film. A number of those films reference Florida, where Land grew up alongside his older brother, the visual artist RLand. We caught up with Land this week to hear more about his work before the films screen on Friday at MOCA GA.
What's your background? When did you start making films?
I've worked in various situations, such as photographer for an engineering firm, science magazine and lightning research facility in Florida. This exposed me to numerous techniques and materials, which I now employ in my films.
I began making films perhaps twelve or fifteen years ago, maybe more. Started with a $3 super8 camera from a thrift store. Guess super8 or small DV is how most makers begin and move-on to larger formats, but I still prefer super8.
Did you share a lot of creative experiences with you brother, the visual artist Rland, growing up? Do you have any influence on one another's work?
RLand and I grew up playing football on the street, watching Saturday morning cartoons, late night TV and looking at the saltmarsh environment. Suppose these things have shaped our current designs.
What compels you to make work about Florida?
The work I make, especially lately, somehow has a Southern element. Not just Florida, but various locations throughout the Southeast. These films are documents of these places and time spent there. The conventional and non-conventional cinematic techniques I use provides the personal reflection or perspective.
Can you elaborate more on that Southern element? You say that the films are "documents." What are you documenting and how do the techniques shape that?
By Southern element, I mean this work focuses on the poetry of place, places I am drawn to. A unique location such as the film "Betty Creek" is specific to the Georgia mountains and actually more specific a small creek in those hills. The film is built by sound recordings, time-lapse footage, direct application of dirt, leaves, crud from this small, lovely area, therefore documenting and magnifying its beauty via organic material from the site and delivering through film projection.
By documenting, I mean to deliver a personal documentation of the subjects and therefore apply the language I feel best describes it. A visual language created from images, sounds and even particles ie. dirt or rust and place it in a projected motion.
You use a number of unusual filmmaking techniques, including applying materials directly to the celluloid. Can you describe this process?
My methods of film production is sometimes considered tedious. Everything is handmade without digital/ computer applications. It's all, if you will, analog. This is only way for me to develop the specific texture, rhythm of a certain location or mood. I originate mostly in 8mm film, re-photograph (blow-up) to 16mm making adjustments along the way. For example, some adjustments may include direct application of glue, tape or plant material onto the celluloid to illustrate the story. I suppose, comparatively, it is tedious and time consuming, but it's the way I work.
ROBBIE LAND: Floridaland and other new 16mm works screens at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia on Fri., June 24 at 8 pm. More details at Film Love.

From the Inside Flap
If you?re wondering what happened after ?a company without assets acquired a company without a clue,? as Kara Swisher wryly writes, it?s time to crack open this trenchant book about the doomed merger of America Online and Time Warner. On a quest to discover how the deal of the century became the messiest merger in history, Swisher delivers a rollicking narrative and a keen analysis of this debacle that is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand what it all means for the digital future. Packed with new revelations and on-the-record interviews with key players, it is the first detailed examination of the merger?s aftermath and also looks forward to what is coming next.
It certainly has not been a pretty picture so far?with $100 billion in losses, a sinking stock price, employees in revolt, and lawsuits galore. As Swisher writes, ?It is hard not to feel a bit queasy about the whole sorry mess. . . . It felt a bit like I was watching someone fall down a flight of stairs in slow motion, and every bump and thump made me wince. It made me reassess old ideas and wonder what I had gotten wrong. And it left me deeply confused as to what had happened and, more important, what was coming next.?
For Swisher, finding the answers to what went awry is important because she remains a staunch believer in the digital future?maybe not in the AOL Time Warner merger, but in the essential idea at the heart of it that someday the distinction of old and new media will no longer exist. Borrowing from Winston Churchill, Swisher calls it ?the end of the beginning? of the digital revolution. ?By that, I mean that it is from the ashes of this bust that the really important companies of the next era will emerge. And that evolution will, I believe, be shaped by what happened?and what is happening now?at AOL Time Warner.?
To figure it all out, Swisher takes her reader on a journey that begins with a portrait of two wildly different corporate cultures and businesses that somehow came to believe, in the crucible of the red-hot Internet era, that they could successfully join forces and achieve unprecedented growth and success. When the merger was announced in early 2000, the irresistible combination was hailed as the new paradigm and its executives?Steve Case, Jerry Levin, Bob Pittman?as popular icons of the future. But after the boom so spectacularly turned to bust and the visions of New Media Supremacy lay in ruins, Swisher searches for clues about where the merger went wrong and who is to blame.
More important, she looks to the future of both AOL Time Warner and the Internet as she seeks to answer the key question that the noise of the disaster has all but drowned out. Will the demise of the AOL Time Warner merger be the final and inevitable chapter of the dot-com debacle or will it herald a new paradigm altogether? This book, then, is a primer for the time to come, using the story of the AOL Time Warner merger as the vehicle to show the troubled journey into the future.

I am an African-American girl who makes straight A's and comes from a very good educated family.
I don't like that African-Americans these days are being portrayed as sex-craving, club going, rap loving, gangsters, crack heads, and etc.
It makes me feel really freakin' bad about my race. It makes me feel really bad that B.E.T. airs programming that makes African Americans look like a bunch of crap and people are sitting down laughing at that d*** s***.
Help put an end to this crap! All African-Americans aren't so bad! Some of us are f***in' educated! Some of us have a life other than going to clubs and making babies and etc.
God created us all equal! He wants us to love each other for who we are! He wants everyone to get along and think of each other as nice people! I think it'd be really nice if we do that!
Help put an end to African-American racism!
I'm Katrina and I approve this message.
(Sorry about all the profanity. I had to let my feelings out.)
The Stop African-American Discrimination petition to THE WHOLE WORLD was written by no and is in the category International Affairs at GoPetition. Contact author here.

Annina: Das Busenwunder In The Bahamas
Featuring Annina
Date February 21st, 2009
Photos 95
2008 was a big year for German bust-star Annina and SCORE. Her pictorials were published in four editions sold around the world. On Scoreland.com, she was a guest on SCOREtv episodes 2 and 3, playing the "Sticky Money" game. "In Germany, the fans are different from over here," Annina said. "There aren't a lot of girls with big boobs, so I think it's only a fetish over there, not like here where women with big boobs are so popular. In Germany, women like me are an oddity. In the United States, it is not so unusual." Annina's been making news in Europe with a surprise appearance on the German version of Big Brother. The ratings were bad so the producers brought Annina in to heat things up. We're happy that Annina is getting the recognition at home she deserves but the Scoreland news is much hotter. Annina is kicking 2009 off with a bang..a big bang..in her first SCORE XXX video and Hardcore Special pictorial, filmed on location in the Carribean.

"Our alliance remains strong, its reach is global, and our nations remain a cornerstone of peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific and in the world," Carter said after two days of discussions for the 2015 Australia-U.S. ministerial consultations.
Carter co-hosted the talks in Boston with Secretary of State John Kerry.
The United States and Australia face a full spectrum of complex threats, Carter said, citing as examples illegal trafficking, cybersecurity and the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and violent extremism.
Australia has been with the United States since the start in Afghanistan, and has expanded its critical role in Iraq and Syria to "deliver ISIL a lasting defeat," Carter said, noting that Australian pilots have recently begun flying in Syria.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United States and Australia, Kerry said.
"Good friends are vital all the time, but they are especially welcome in turbulent, challenging times," the top U.S. diplomat said. "That is why the United States' partnership with Australia is so important."
Carter and Kerry spoke in a news conference with the visiting Australian dignitaries, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Defense Minister Marise Payne.
U.S., Russia to Discuss Air Safety Protocols
"Our counter-ISIL fight will proceed unchanged, as we continue to urge Russia to change its failing strategy," Carter said.
Russia must act professionally in the skies over Syria and abide by basic safety procedures, he said. U.S. and Russian officials will have another conversation on the topic tomorrow, he added. In a statement after the news conference, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said U.S. defense officials will hold a third secure video conference tomorrow with Russian Defense Ministry officials. "The focus of these discussions is on specific safety protocols for aircrews flying over Syria. Those discussions are progressing, but nothing has been finalized," Cook said.
"Even as we continue to disagree on Syria policy, we should be able to at least agree on making sure our airmen are as safe as possible," Carter said at the news conference.
The Syrian crisis requires a political solution, Kerry said. "A military component can help you get to that solution," he added, "but Syria is literally being destroyed in the process."
Deepening the Alliance
Carter said he and Payne signed a bilateral statement on defense cooperation that includes increased intelligence sharing, improving multilateral and defense industry engagement, and fine-tuning interoperability.
The foundation of the U.S.-Australia relationship is built on values of freedom, democracy and rules-based order, Carter said. "Today, by deepening our alliance, we renew those values and stand resolved to defend them together," he added.
Since 2013, the U.S. rotational force near Darwin has expanded more than five-fold to 1,150 Marines, he said. "Australia and America both want to sustain and renew an Asia-Pacific regional security architecture where everyone rises and everyone prospers," Carter said. "That's the essence of the U.S. rebalance toward the region."
Tensions in South China Sea
The United States and Australia share an interest in upholding basic international norms such as freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce, Carter said.
"Together, our nations favor peaceful resolutions to disputes and oppose coercion and infringement on well-established international norms, especially in the face of rising tensions in the East and South China Sea," he said.
The United States will continue to "fly, sail and operate" wherever international law allows, explaining that, the "South China Sea is not and will not be an exception."

The present invention relates to methods of and apparatus for making use of semi-conductive catalysts in chemical reactions and the like; and, more particularly, to controlling the catalytic action of such devices by electric fields, electron injection, and similar mechanisms, as well as to novel semi-conducting catalysts themselves.
It has previously been observed that the electrical properties, such as conductivity, of various solid semiconductor materials, such as, for example, cuprous oxide, zinc oxide, silicon, vanadium pentoxide, and the like, may be changed following the adsorption of gases such as, for example, oxygen or hydrogen, on the surfaces of such semi-conductor solids. If the adsorbed gas withdraws electrons from the surface atoms of the semi-conductor during the adsorption process, and the semi-conductor is of the N type in which the carriers are electrons, then the number of current carriers in the semi-conductor that remain free to pass current becomes decreased, so that the conductivity of the semi-conductor device he comes lowered. It the semi-conductor is of the P type, in which the carriers are electron deficiencies or holes, then adsorption of an electron-withdrawing gas enhances the deficiency and hence increases the conductivity, as more fully explained hereinafter.
In the case of the N-type or P-type semi-conductor, moreover, the adsorption or release of other gases may vary the conductivity in an opposite manner to that above described. For example, the adsorption of hydrogen by an N-type semi-conductor results in the effective furnishing of additional electrons or current carriers and thus results in the increase of conductivity of the N-type semi-conductor. Hydrogen, on the other hand, will contribute electrons to a P-type semi-conductor, thereby, in effect, neutralizing some of the positive holes, which are the current carriers, resulting in a decrease in the conductivity of the P-type semi-conductor.
In accordance with the present invention, however, the existence of an efiect that is the reciprocal or converse of the above-described phenomenon has been discovered. Specifically, it has been found that if current carriers in the semi-conductor solids can be materially removed or increased, gaseous and other media contacting the surface of the same can be adsorbed or desorbed from the surface 3,421,988 Patented Jan. 14, 1969 under the control of the mechanism for removing or introducing carriers into the semi-conductor device. More partciularly, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, appropriate electric or electromagnetic fields applied to the semi-conductor solid may be used as a mechanism for controlling the adsorption and desorption of, for example, gaseous elements or compounds or mixtures to and from the surface of the semi-conductor devices. In etfect, therefore, catalytic action of the semi-conductor devices in chemical processes can be varied and controlled in this manner.
While catalytic materials and various types of semiconductors have previously been exposed to various types of radiant energy for a multitude of purposes, including the production of photoconductive or photochemical effects, the depositing of materials or impurities, the pro duction of fluoresence or phosphorescence effects, the influence of gaseous chemical reactions, and numerous other purposes, these are not concerned with the kind of control of the catalytic action of semi-conductor solid devices with which the present invention is concerned. Similarly, previous schemes to bombard semi-conductors with electrons, to clean the surfaces thereof, or with ions, or other charged particles, or the utilization of the chemi cal coherer principle of early radio detection, while involving exposure to particulate or radiant energy, do not embrace the particular kind of control of semi-conductor catalytic action herein described, in accordance with which the catalytic action of appropriate semi-conductor solid materials and the like may be rendered more effective, and the operation of the same may even be matched to the chemical reaction rate of a process with which it is employed, so that a positive and definitely ascertainable degree of control over the catalytic action of the semi-conductor device may be attained.
Other and further objects of the invention will hereinafter be set forth and will be more particularly pointed out in connection with the appended claims.
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 of which is a combined longitudinal section and schematic circuit diagram of a preferred form of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a similar view of a modification;
FIG. 3 is an experimentally attained graph of gas composition as a function of time, demonstrating the change in composition of a gas issuing from a cell containing a solid semi-conductor catalyst controlled in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2, but on a different scale, of a further modification.
As used in this application, the term semi-conductor is intended to embrace all solid bodies which conduct electric current by means of electrons or positive holes, as distinct from metallic conduction or ionic conduction; such electronic conduction being of opposite temperature coefficient to that exhibited by metals. Semi-conductors are thus defined herein not in terms of degrees of conductivity, but, rather, in terms of an increase in electronic-type conductivity with rising temperature, as distinct from metals, which show an electronic conductivity which decreases with rising temperature. Such solid semi-conductors may be classified conveniently as intrinsic and extrinsic in character; the intrinsic semi-conductor being an element or a compound which, in the purest state attainable, shows non-ionic electrical conductivity having the positive temperature coefficient described above; and the extrinsic semi-conductor being a substance which alters the degree or even the type of semi-conduction under the influence of impurities or modifying agents introduced into the main body of the substance for that purpose. As is well known in the art, an intrinsic semi-conductor, such 'as elementary germanium, shows extrinsic behaviour when appropriate impurities are introduced in desired amount, becoming an N-type semi-conductor upon the introduction of an electron deficient impurity, such as boron. In the same manner, other semi-conductors, such as silicon, zinc oxide, copper oxide, lead sulfide, silver iodide and selenium, may be altered in their semi-conduction properties, even to the extent of being changed from N-type to P-type, by the introduction of appropriate impurities in the desired amounts.
Turning, now, to chemical reactions and to the solid substances which have catalytic effect upon the rate or the course of such reactions (or both), it is found that such heterogeneous catalysts often are semi-conductors in their electrical nature. As has been mentioned briefly above, the degree of electrical conduction in such semiconducting catalytic solid bodies has, in some cases, been demonstrated to increase or decrease upon chemisorption of appropriate gases from the surrounding gaseous environment, in accordance with the expectations of semiconductor theory and chemical bonding of the adsorbed gas. The present invention pertains, however, to the purposeful influence or control of such chemisorption or desorption by control of the electron density within the solid by any appropriate means; for example, by injecting electrons or holes within the solid body through the agency of a system of electrodes, or by the establishment of a suitable electric potential field.
Referring, for example, to FIG. 1, a conductive tubular cylindrical housing 1 is shown interiorally provided with a coaxially disposed substantially central electrode 3. The housing 1 serves as a first electrode connected to one terminal of the secondary winding S of, for example, a radio frequency transformer, the primary winding P of which is connected to a radio-frequency source or oscillator 5. The other terminal of the secondary winding S connects with the internal electrode 3 to apply the radiofrequency field between the electrodes 1 and 3.
Surrounding the inner electrode 3 and contained between the same and the inner walls of the outer electrode 1, but preferably insulated therefrom by an insulating layer 7, is a medium 9 of relatively loosely packed pellets or granules of solid semi-conductor material of the abovedescribed character. The purpose of the relatively loose packing of the semi-conductor units resides in the desire to pass a gas stream longitudinally through the tubular electrode 1, in the direction of the arrows, from inlet to outlet, which gas is to be subjected to the catalytic action of the semi-conductor medium 9. As an illustration, let it be assumed that a mixture of sulfur dioxide and oxygen (or air) is being forced through the reactor body 9 at a temperature at which the oxidation to sulfur trioxide may be accomplished by the heterogeneous semiconducting catalyst 9. For this illustration the body 9 may consist substantially of vanadium oxide.
Since the catalytic action consists in the adsorption of sulfur dioxide and oxygen, followed by their chemical combination and then their desorption or expulsion from the surface of the vanadium oxide 9, it is seen that the degree of reaction per unit time may be increased by intensifying the chemisorption of the reagents upon the surface of the body 9, followed by deliberate expulsion of the sulfur trioxide product from the same surface once the reaction is complete. For this purpose, the alternating electric field within the reactor body 9, produced by the oscillator 5, is made to reverse or alternate at a frequency the period of which is adjusted approximately equal to the time required for reaction on the catalysts surface, thus alternately increasing and decreasing the density of current carriers within the semi-conductor body 9. Without such electrical control or manipulation of the semi-conductor catalyst 9, the adsorption and desorption processes would take place at an uncontrolled rate under the random infiuence of thermal agitation of gas molecules striking the surface. By imposing electrical control of the adsorption and desorption processes, the residence time of the gases on the surface of the solid body 9 is limited quite strictly to the time required for reaction, thereby freeing the catalyst surface 9 periodically for fresh reaction and consequently increasing the output of the desired sulfur trioxide from the given amount of catalyst in the reactor body.
It should be clearly understood that the adsorption and desorption of gases at the surface of a semi-conductor body 9, according to the purposes of this invention, is not confined to the use of a radio-frequency potential at electrodes 1 and 3. For example, the principle or effect would be shown even by imposing a steady invarying electric field within the semi-conductor body 9, as by application of a direct current potential to electrodes 1 and 3. The opposite effect would then result from a reversal of the polarity of application of such direct-current potential to the same electrodes. When the principles of the invention are to be applied to the control of a chemical reaction, however, it becomes important to reverse the direction of the electric field at a rate commensurate with the time of chemical reaction which occurs on the surface of the semi-conductor catalyst 9, so that the surface may be freed of reaction products and made ready for the adsorption of fresh reactants as quickly as possible. When the reaction time is, for example, of the order of magnitude of a micro-second (as is the case in many chemical reactions, such as the synthesis of ammonia), the frequency of the alternation of the electric field must be of the order of one megacycle per second. Reactions which require a longer time for their consummation would require a correspondingly slower frequency of alternation of the electric field; and, conversely, reactions which require a shorter time would appropriately require a higher frequency of alternation of the field.
Indeed, apart from the purposes above described, the phenomenon underlying the invention and the apparatus of FIG. 1 may be beneficially used to determine chemical reaction times by varying the frequency of the oscillator 5 until a substantial increase in the output of the reaction product is found by chemical analysis. This can be accomplished by observing continuously, by means of a gasphase chromatograph, the composition of the eflluent gas stream at the outlet, or, for example, by continuous observation of the infrared adsorption spectrum. The determination of such minimum times of reaction is of great theoretical interest in defining the mechanism of reaction, and is also of importance in the development of improved catalytic materials for the conduct of commercially important chemical reactions.
As another example, reference is made to the apparatus of FIG. 4, which produced the experimental results plotted in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the metal conductive tubular housing 1 was a copper tube oxidized on the inside to provide a layer of copper-oxide semi-conductor catalytic material 9 in accordance with the known art of establishing such catalytic surfaces, as described, for example, in Zeitung Naturforschung, vol. XA, page 152, 1955; Journal of the Electrochemical Society, vol. 105, page 18; Transactions Faraday Society, vol. 54, page 1703, 1958. The tube 1 was coiled and immersed in an oil heating bath 10 maintained at about 250 C. in preparation for reduction-oxidation reactions. In order to test the adsorption-desorption properties of the copper-oxide catalytic coating or body 9" under the action of an electric field, a mixture of oxygen and helium was passed into the inlet, through the tube 1', and thence to the sensing element of a gas chromatograph 12, at the outlet, adjusted to respond to small changes in the oxygen level of the helium carrier gas. In this experiment, the copperoxide coating 9" was saturated with oxygen by passing the helium-oxygen mixture through it until no further change in gas composition was shown on the chromatograph recording. Without alteration of the gas composition or rate, a D.C. electric potential was applied for a limited time to the copper tube 1', with respect to ground, at a predetermined instant of time. At a time which corresponded exactly with the transit time required for the gas stream to emerge from the copper tube 1 and reach the sensing element of the chromatograph 12, a deflection of the recorder pen indicated an increase in oxygen content of carrier gas, as shown at I in FIG. 3.
After equilibrium had again been established, the D.C. potential with respect to ground was reversed. Again, after the lapse of the appropriate time interval, corresponding to the transit time of the gas, the recorder pen showed a decrease in the oxygen content of the gas stream, as indicated by the opposite deflection II in FIG. 3.
The utilization of a wall lining 9" of catalytic material, FIG. 4, in contradistinction to the granular medium of FIG. 1, is also shown in the modification of FIG. 2, wherein the semi-conductor material is applied as a coating 9 to the inner walls of the outer electrode housing 1. The tube is shown stoppered at its ends 11 and is connected to a variable frequency oscillator 5, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the frequency variation being useful for adjustment to chemical reaction rate, as before described. Other reversible-polarity fields may also be employed, including the reversible D.C. field of the embodiment of FIG. 4.
As still another example, it should be observed that the same doping or provision of impurities that has been so widely employed in the field of semi-conductors for other applications, finds utility in accordance with the practice of the method underlying the present invention. For example, in connection with the embodiment of FIG. 1, and the illustrative example of the vanadium oxide catalyst, traces of potassium oxide may be incorporated into the vanadium oxide for the purpose of enhancing the effectiveness of the catalytic activity; the electric field control again enhancing the effective catalytic action of the semiconducting medium 9.
While the invention has been described in connection with gaseous fluids and reactions in the gas phase, it is to be understood that other fluid reactions which are adapted to enable the reactants to come into contact with the surface of the catalytic body material may also be employed. For example, one or more of the reactants may be a liquid which reacts with a gas or another liquid at the surface of the heterogeneous catalyst employed according to the teachings of the invention. Similarly, semi-conductor layers of different characteristics, such as N- and P-type semiconductors, may both be employed as where it is desired to produce an enhanced and a decreased catalytic effect at different regions of the reaction chamber in response to the same or separate electric fields. While the above-described types of electric or electromagnetic field excitation are preferred because of their ready penetration into the semi-conductor material to affect the current carriers within the semi-conductor body, other types of energy that give rise to this internal control of the carrier density within the semi-conductor material may also be used. Pulsating and other types of electric-field-producing circuits may also be employed.
Further modifications will occur to those skilled in the art and all such are considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

The producer of this game is Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the man who is also behind Sega Rally Championship. It features the character Ulala (a reference to the phrase "ooh la la"). The game is similar to PaRappa the Rapper and earlier memorization games like Simon Says where the computer shows a sequence of moves - dance steps in this case - and the player must copy them successfully to advance. The original Space Channel 5 was published in Japan, the US and Europe on the Dreamcast but the sequel, Space Channel 5: Part 2 was released in Japan for the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2, and in English only on the PlayStation 2 as part of Space Channel 5 Special Edition.

Patient Comments: Constipation - Experience
Has your constipation ever limited you from performing daily activities? Work? Pleasure?
Comment from: Rosey Posey, Female (Caregiver) Published: September 24
I have a client who has MS and lung cancer. He is having so much trouble evacuating his bowels and his doctor is no help at all. He is currently taking Senokot, a stool softener, twice a day. He regularly eats a serving of sauerkraut and for several days takes a serving of 15 dried prunes in order to evacuate once a week. He experiences a lot of pain between day 3 and 7.

It has for my young child. My child is on the 5th or 6th doctor (GI doctor) that still cannot find the problem! Currently child has a colostomy tube and doctors want to put in a colostomy bag. I am on here to see if anyone can help me down a road where my child won't have to go through this and what we may possibly be missing!
Comment from: soroeman2, 45-54 Male (Caregiver) Published: May 23
Pain meds cause me constipation. Raisin bran about 3 to 4 hours before bedtime works for me every time. It causes the stool to hold the moisture and soften the stool during the night. The next morning no problems using the bathroom.
Comment from: Meh, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: February 17
I'm a sixteen year old girl still in high school and I have suffered from constipation for two years now and I really hate it. My doctor's don't know anything. I have done almost everything besides sticking a pill up my butt and surgery.
Comment from: Big Dee, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: July 07
Constipation consumes my life. I go days without going to the bathroom. Then I have what I call on Attack, stomach pain, face and ears get red. My hands burn and feel like they were sliced with a knife. The doctors look at me like I am crazy and have not got any help. This has been going on for years.

Nikola Malešević
I devote my free time to software development. I started coding in high school where my love for programming came to life. I am mostly self-taught and did not have much formal education when it comes to software engineering. While this may have some downsides, I feel privileged to not be biased by anyone's preferences in programming languages and coding styles - I was allowed to choose what best suited me and develop my own style of coding.
Combined software engineering, electronics and mechanical engineering was a logical path for me to follow and I am looking forward to career in these fields.

Vermont's Immunization Program
"Vaccines are one of the greatest success stories in public health."
— Christine Finley, APRN, Vermont Immunization Program Manager
The Vermont Immunization Program works to protect all Vermonters against vaccine-preventable disease, by increasing immunization coverage levels of children and adults.
Vaccinations help protect against risk of disease, especially among infants too young to be vaccinated, and children and adults who are immunocompromised. Greater coverage will protect the health of all Vermonters who receive immunizations - and the people they are close to.
The Immunization Program provides:
- Health care providers with all pediatric and most adult vaccines at no cost
- Guidance and support to schools and child care facilities for meeting state immunization requirements
- Provider trainings to promote system-based practices to improve immunization rates
- Trainings and oversight for vaccine storage and handling
- Management of the Vermont Immunization Registry
- Analysis of child care and school annual immunization reports and data
- Public education and outreach to increase awareness and understanding of immunizations
District Health Office Clinics and Information
Our District Health Offices each have a public health nurse who serves as a local Immunization Designee, who can answer your questions and provide assistance. Find the District Office nearest you.
Monthly Immunization Clinics

My boyfriend and I are trying to book a flight from NYC to Bangkok in February. There's a really cheap $1k flight from Aeroflot, some $1200 flights from Air China and China Eastern, and Qatar Airways for $1300 (but with long layover) - there are a bunch more as well.
I've never flown to Asia so am not familiar with any of these airlines. For that long of a flight, I'm willing to pay more for a better experience on an airline, but I'm not sure which airlines stand out as being better than others! Does anyone have opinions or recommendations for good airlines to fly out east?
(My main concerns are service, food, in-flight entertainment, and hopefully newish planes :)
Thanks a lot!

SKIDCAR System releases SKIDBIKE training system
Features include a wireless engine shutoff control for instructors, high ground clearance, robust safety wings, and traction adjustment controls
By PoliceOne Staff
SKIDCAR recently released SKIDBIKE, a training system that teaches students of various skill levels how to ride a motorcycle. Features include a wireless engine shutoff control for instructors, high ground clearance, robust safety wings, and traction adjustment controls.
The SKIDBIKE has patented front and rear wheel traction control devices (TCD) that can be used together or separately to provide a realistic riding experience and provides aide for the instructor, the company said. It works by adjusting the tire grip through an independent carriage system with safety wings that prevent the rider from leaning more than 35 degrees to either side.

Great looking watch - I wore it right away and enjoyed the look completely!!!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Looks like photo
- How accurate was the sizing? Great fit
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality for the price
Lovely watch! Looks great for casual wear!
Good product for the item purchased. Thank you
Comfortable but flimsy. You get what you pay for. It's good for a young girl.
Wrap around leather straps are very stylish, but be weary of wrist size. Looks great on, esp with boots and jeans
This was the perfect gift for my teenage daughter, her face just lit up. She wears it every day.
Just wasn't for me. my arms are too skinny no matter how I wrapped it around would not fasten right.
This was a gift purchase for a college student which "got lost" enroute to her, So don't really know if she would have liked. But I think so, I thought it was a fun alternative.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Same
- How accurate was the sizing? As usual
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Okay, lightweight
This watch was already broken when I received it, but didn't notice until part way through the day when I was wearing it. When I removed the red "stopper" that kept the battery from wearing out (because it was the first time I was wearing it) the second hand started ticking right away. The hour hand seemed to be functioning properly, however the second hand stoped ticking at random and won't begin ticking again until I either tapped the watch or pushed on the nob that you use to adjust time. The minute hand on the watch does not work at all. It is completely loose in the watch and moves freely every time I move my wrist or arm. This watch is defective, which is a shame because I really liked the style. Don't waste your money!
I love the design of this watch just wish they would of made it with decent material. the fake leathwayer straps are not sewn but glued, so they started peeling apart right away. then the pin just fell out of the watch part. Look for metal watches by Geneva. have had no problems with those.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? image, imagine...
- How accurate was the sizing? fine
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. terrible

My latest "On the Buddhism Beat" post at Shambhala Sun Space is an interview I did with U Pyinya Zawta, a founding member and the executive director of the All Burma Monks' Alliance. One of the leaders of 2007's "Saffron Revolution"–the nonviolent demonstration by thousands of Buddhist monastics calling for economic and political justice in the military-ruled country–he was a guest of the producer and director of Best Documentary nominee Burma VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country at last night's 82nd Annual Academy Awards. (Burma VJ ultimately lost to The Cove, though, however.) I must say: it was a tremendous honor to speak with him and our translator Aung Moe Win. Here's a snippet of our conversation…
There have been some interesting editorials in the last week or so—specifically at the New York Times's Carpetbagger blog and Foreign Policy—about the "importance" of the Oscar nomination for Burma VJ. Would you say something about why you think the Academy's notice is so important?
Burma VJ is very important because it can help raise awareness and educate viewers about what's happening on the ground in Burma. The film shows the horrible things that are taking place there, and also demonstrates how people are forced to gather information. The more people who see the film, the more people can see what's happening.

Quite a few of seventh and eighth-graders were remedial learners and really gained new and positive methods for studying and excelling. Pre-K youngsters should begin to learn some of these skills; certainly, by the time kids roll around to sixth-grade and beyond, study skills become more of a necessity.

River of Heaven
River of Heaven
Broadway Books, Paperback, 9780307381255, 288pp.
Publication Date: April 7, 2009
"You have to know the rest of my story, the
part I can't yet bring myself to say. A story
of a boy I knew a long time ago and a
brother I loved and then lost."
Past and present collide in Lee Martin's highly anticipated novel of a man, his brother, and the dark secret that both connects and divides them. Haunting and beautifully wrought, River of Heaven weaves a story of love and loss, confession and redemption, and the mystery buried with a boy named Dewey Finn.
On an April evening in 1955, Dewey died on the railroad tracks outside Mt. Gilead, Illinois, and the mystery of his death still confounds the people of this small town.
River of Heaven begins some fifty years later and centers on the story of Dewey's boyhood friend Sam Brady, whose solitary adult life is much formed by what really went on in the days leading up to that evening at the tracks. It's a story he'd do anything to keep from telling, but when his brother, Cal, returns to Mt. Gilead after decades of self-exile, it threatens to come to the surface.
A Pulitzer Prize finalist for The Bright Forever, Lee Martin masterfully conveys, with a voice that is at once distinct and lyrical, one man's struggle to come to terms with the outcome of his life. Powerful and captivating, River of Heaven is about the high cost of living a lie, the chains that bind us to our past, and the obligations we have to those we love.
Lee was born in southeastern Illinois, where his father farmed eighty acres in Lawrence County s Lukin Township. The gravel road that went past the lane to the Martin home, was the road that divided Lawrence County from Richland County, and Lee was amazed as a young boy by the fact that simply walking across the road could move him from one county to the next. In 1963, when he was eight, those gravel roads that ran straight and formed right angles when they intersected moved him to the hard roads first the blacktop into Sumner, and then U.S. Route 50 and Illinois Route 49 heading north to the family s new home during the school year in Oak Forest, a southern suburb of Chicago, where his mother had accepted an offer to teach third grade for Arbor Park School District #145. Just like that, the familiarity of the two-room Lukin School, the small Berryville Church of Christ, and the shops and cafes of Sumner, was replaced by the strangeness of urban living.
"If you don't know Lee Martin, you should….[River of Heaven] is a page-turner, both tender and tough, with real insight into how people live and breathe and love and worry."
—Lincoln Journal Star
"Few writers could unfold Sam's history with the grace and compassion of Lee Martin. River of Heaven is a wise and humane novel, a story of cowardice and courage and the torturous path between them."
—Kathryn Harrison
"In River of Heaven, Lee Martin has created that rare thing: a literary page-turner. This is a story about the corrosive power of a childhood secret, and the way our lives are shaped as much by what we withold as what we reveal. An elegantly structured, powerful and original novel, full of heart."
—Dani Shapiro
"Lee Martin's portrait of Sam Brady, a man in fear of his life and crippled by it, lingers painfully and persuasively."
—Amy Bloom, author of Away
