Past research suggests that beliefs and emotions operate as partially distinct determinants of political attitudes. In addition, while positive and negative beliefs about a political object are bipolar in structure, positive and negative emotions have been demonstrated to be relatively independent. In this past research, beliefs and emotions have been assessed with different measures. Yet current models of survey responding suggest that responses to survey items are often influenced by the manner in which the researcher poses the questions. As such, it is not clear whether the uniqueness of these belief and emotion measures reflects a bona fide difference between two underlying constructs, or merely an artifactual difference induced by differing methods of measurement. In this study, beliefs and emotions are shown to operate as partially unique predictors of candidate evaluation even when employing corresponding methods of measurement. The independence of positive and negative emotion, however, only arises when employing a dichotomous measure. When employing ordinal measures, positive and negative emotions contain a substantial component of bipolarity. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.

Generally, I'm looking for a recommendation for an uninstalled programs cleaner ?
What is it ? You have a program, you uninstall it, and it leaves a bunch of crap on your machine, starting from registry entries, to shortcuts that lead nowhere, up to a bunch of no more used files in Program Files and so ...
Registry cleaners usually do some of this stuff, but 'twas wondering, what are good tools that have it all in one package ?
I know such tools exist, 'cause in the past I've met with a few. Only I didn't need them then ;)

Talk:Winlaton Youth Training Centre

|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
I Have cleaned up the article considerably and removed the following text here as it sounded like it belonged here rather than in the aticle proper.22.214.171.124 (talk) 01:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I was one of the girls remanded and then committed as ward of the state in 1959/1963.I have never heard of Winnbirra remand while I was in Winlaton. We were sent straight to Goonyah on arrival and that is where we stayed until we could prove we were worthy, and then were sent to the next block Warrina. Goonyah was a lock up block and you were locked in all day every day. We never went outside, when we were not in our cells we were all locked in a recreation room with a large glass window facing the staff office. They could see what we were up to. If we wanted to go to the toilet we were escorted by one of the officers. I was locked in my cell for a week on 1 occasion and there was a girl in the next cell, we used a hair pin to scratch a brick out of the wall between our cells so as we could talk to each other. We would ly down on the floor and talk, and we were alerted if some one was coming as we could hear their footsteps on the polished floors. ( We would polish these floors on hands and knees with a dry scruubing brush, until they shone like a mirror.) There is so much more I could write, but I need to rest now. L Meyers(Koplick)

Students With the Blues
Homesickness is probably the biggest reason for the Freshman Blues. Your student may be homesick for family, friends, his or her own bed, familiar weather, and/or a sweetheart who's been left behind.
You can't automatically tell which student will catch the worst case of homesickness. What you can do is tell your student that it's a perfectly normal reaction starting college. If he or she says, "But I feel like such a baby ...," reassure your student that homesickness is NOT a sign of immaturity.
It's not a reflection on you, one way or the other, if your child DOESN'T seem homesick. It may be that he or she adjusted more quickly to school than other students. Or, your child may be hiding his or her feelings. All you can do is to stay connected and offer help or suggestions when asked.
Here are some ways you can help your student cope with being homesick:
The bottom line is that students adjust to college in their own way and in their own time. It's easy for some and hard for others. Look for signs of progress rather than quick and easy cures.

Determining the Core Specifications in the NLB Design
Updated: March 28, 2003
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
After you identify applications that can benefit from Network Load Balancing, you are ready to design the core specifications for your Network Load Balancing design. These core specifications form the foundation on which you create your cluster. They include the design process steps that are required for all Network Load Balancing solutions. Figure 8.5 illustrates the current step in the process for creating your Network Load Balancing design. The steps that occur later in the design process depend on the design decisions that you make about these essential aspects of your design.

MANET has been a hot research topic for quite a few years. The principal attractions of MANETs are related to the ease with which they can be deployed due to their infrastructure-less and decentralized nature. Applications for MANET range from military operations and emergency disaster relief, to community networking and interaction between attendees at a meeting. The challenge of MANETs is to design dequate security schemes for these innovative networks. A challenging MANET security problem is the issue of the presence of malicious nodes; and these malicious nodes can disrupt the network traffic, choke the bandwidth, cause network congestion and consume unnecessary resources like the limited CPU processing capacity, memory and battery power of individual nodes by making byzantine type attacks. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive security scheme by which these malicious nodes can be easily detected. Here, we use our statistical mechanism that uses the statistics of the activities of the nodes and use a decentralized approach to detect these kinds of malicious nodes. Here, we also simulate our decentralized statistical analysis based intrusion detection scheme over routing protocol for detecting malicious node(s) and analyze the performance and efficiency of our algorithm over previous routing protocol.

We booked the taxi transfer the day before we arrived (28 euros return) and the friendly taxi driver was waiting patiently for us even though we were over an hour delayed (due to snow at Manchester!)
Upon arriving at the car park as the taxi cannot take you to the door of the riad we made our way down what seemed like several windy dark, cobbled passage ways and eventually arrived at the Riad. This was unnerving at first however upon entering Utopia the initial reservations disappeared, the Riad itself is stunning, the staff were very attentive and even gave us a larger room when we asked as the first room was a little small - and did not charge us any extra for this, as the riad was nowhere near full.
We decided to venture out to get something to eat and Aziz at reception told us where to go (Terrace Ben Yousseff) and by the time we got to the bottom of the street he had a lovely young man (Suffiyan) waiting for us. The staff at the riad obviously appreciate that the walk to and from the riad must be daunting for their guests at first.
After a lovely meal we returned accompanied by the young gentleman and safely deposited into Utopia.
The Riad is immaculate and rooms are cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels and toiletries.
Breakfasts - included in our price was the traditional Moroccan breakfast which for those of you who don't know, is bread, pancakes and another form of bread.....so basically bread! Coffee and orange juice along with freshly pulped strawberry and orange preserves were also part of the deal.
My husband and i asked for eggs on the first day and even though this was not part of the breakfast, the staff kindly obliged everyday - we did get charged extra for this at the end of the holiday so be careful of extras as something you may think is included, is not. That being said, the eggs were beautiful.
As i am a tea'aholic my constant requests for Lipton tea throughout the afternoon/evening were also met with no problem and they didn't even mind my entering the kitchen to turn the kettle back on again!
The only thing missing at the Riad was an IRON so please take a travel iron as even though the staff are more than happy to take your clothes and have them pressed, which are then returned folded and wrapped in tissue paper, the ironing is done using a large industrial pressing machine so our clothes actually came back worse off than when we sent them LOL! We did suggest to Abdel about the Riad investing in an iron and hope they will do so.
During our stay i decided to book my husband and i a Hammam and massage package costing approx 75 euros. All i will say is if you do not know what a Hammam is then please find out before having this done as we both found it quite uncomfortable as it wasn't what we expected. So this was our fault rather than the staff at Utopia.
Now to the staff themselves..... what a lovely bunch of people, Abdel, Aziz, their beautiful sister (whose name escapes us!) and the rest of the team, made our stay at Utopia even more enjoyable. They had great knowledge of the area and offered numerous suggestions when we pestered them for places to eat, sights to see and routes to take etc.
Aziz and Abdel.......ignore my husbands advice about getting married at 40, he knows nothing!!!
It was a pleasure to meet these guys and we hope to one day return to Utopia.
Lastly a word of advice about the area..... please be advised that even though you are in the heart of traditional Marrakech, we found the area very safe, even at night and the locals very friendly, however there is a lot of poverty and you will be approached and/or witness a lot of begging and homelessness which can be particularly sad especially when there are children or older people involved....this is a part of Marrakech and will either annoy you or make you appreciate what you have.
Enjoy Utopia and enjoy Marrakech, they are both beautiful and magical and will make you want to go back for more.

SIFF Cthonically Speaking
posted by June 14 at 10:45 AMon
Ahh. The sweet, sad sunset of SIFF! And so its begun. Tragic. Like waking up from a warm and wonderful dream to a cold and ugly woman. The movies all go away. The booze dries up. The parties pitter out. Life plods on.
But no chunky chicks have sung quite yet (as far as I know), so we all still have a few glorious days left to snatch what SIFFiness we can. And tonight, for me, its Cthulhu!
As David has already explained below, Cthulhu is happening this very evening at the Neptune Theater (6:30 sharp!), and Eric has already informed yall about the big Chthulhu party afterwards. (They both forgot to mention that Im in the damn thing, but since Im just an extra, Ill forgive. But Im an awesome extra. The fucking king, yo.)
But Cthulhu isnt the only option for those whose tastes run to the dark and peculiar, as do mine. There is also One Day Like Rain, which is screening at Harvard Exit tomorrow night and defies synopsis. The SIFF catalogue gives it a valiant attempt, however, and calls the film, "A pleasantly confounding, dreamlike combination of Donnie Darko and Ghost World, with a little bit of Twin Peaks thrown in for good measure." Indeed? I watched the film's awesome trailer six hundred million times and have come to two conclusions: something about this movie seems to capture me, and I cant even begin to figure out what the hell is going on. So I asked the writer/director, Paul Todisco, and this is what he told me:
How did this movie happen? And WHAT is it ABOUT??
This story just kind of poured out of me during a couple weeks in June in 2005. It had been brewing in my head, though, in some form or another for ten years. It was birthed from a decade of metaphysical readings and mystical studies and practices…I pursued those things because I was compelled to and was fascinated by them. I knew a movie (or several movies) was going to come out of it somehow, but I didn't know what. I don't think I really knew what it was going to be even when I sat down to write. But there it was, a story about teenage girls, suburbia, and elevating consciousness. All the elements I'm familiar with were there - I grew up in a suburban neighborhood - North Syracuse, New York - and understood the angst that can result from childhood years in such a place. Alchemy, metaphysics, and the evolution of consciousness were also major themes. And I guided the story along, of course, as it unfolded. Many things that I had always wanted to put in a film found a place in this story. It was like putting puzzle pieces together - I had the pieces all ready…they had been ready for years. I think my subconscious just pieced them all together for me.
Which of the characters do you personally identify with?
Definitely Gina. Gina has a unique way of seeing the world; she has a clarity of vision. She is both obsessively inspired by and burdened by the responsibility of this vision.
Additionally, there is a bit of me in every character. I think it's impossible to write anyone (that is, to make them a believable character) without identifying at least a bit with some element of them.
Does "One Day Like Rain" have any connections with your earlier work?
Although it's quite a big departure from my first feature, which was mostly two guys talking, was very character-driven, and was about the inter-personal relationships between people, this movie is very visual, and is about transpersonal relationships, meaning, the relationship between a person and the cosmos - or the soul. It's very unique in that way, and a huge challenge. But there are still connections between the two films. They are both about suburban malaise; and in a way, David Keenen (main character in "Freak Talks About Sex") struggled with a lot of internal dilemmas and ultimately, I believe, experienced a shift in consciousness. So the themes that were just barely being birthed in "Freak…" are now the forefront of the entire film in "One Day Like Rain." And there are stylistic similarities. I shot both films with the same visual style. I just had much more visual, non-dialogue scenes in "One Day Like Rain."
Before I made "Freak…" I made a conscious pact with myself that I would make a film that avoided any "cheese." My goal was realism, and to get natural performances, yet to still direct it carefully and with beauty. I am pleased with the outcome of "Freak…", and with "One Day Like Rain" was ready to layer on the next step, which was to try to put more of the text into the visuals themselves, to tell the story visually and stylistically, to make the film less realistic and more atmospheric, more surreal, and more of a visceral experience. This is a bigger challenge and I knew creatively that I had to have a film like "Freak…" behind me before attempting this territory. Of course, there is still a long way to go with future films…
What's your favorite thing about this film?
I love most of all that it is a visual journey and, hopefully, a kind of transcendental experience. I want it to transport the viewer into a new way of looking at things; everyday things that may be very familiar to us. And I love that it is the kind of movie that reveals more to the viewer the more a viewer thinks about it or the more times he/she watches it. These are the kinds of movies I love, and I really think "One Day Like Rain" is rich enough to offer this as well.
People bring themselves to this film. Every interpretation is different, but within specific parameters. I tried to find the right balance between mystery and message.
Well, I'm still confused. But I'm eager to riddle it all out.

I didn't realize you guys were so racist.
stfu will
That was from way out in left field.
They're just Will-Libs. Racist was not a *great* word for that blank line, but, heck it's an adjective, and an adjective it had to be. Done! Next?
Well, if you're commenting on noses, usually that's what it means.
One of my grandfathers got blackballed from a country club, because they thought he might be Jewish (amusing, since he was Scottish), due to his nose.
Hey, I know, let's have a SLOG post about dwarf tossing ... (sounds like your speed)
Let's have a Slog post about how full of shit you always are.
...let's have a SLOG post about __________ (noun).
hee hee, gave me a giggle. . .
in grade school, back home in Indidana, we had a local celeb Joe Pickett - think he was a weather man? but my memeory is quetioning that - may have been a ca sales man??. . .anydrunky . . . he was one the softball coaches and we'd all say, "don't blow your nose, let joe pickett"
I still get a giggle on that one too.
Does everyone in the office laugh extra hard whenever the Publisher tells a joke?
@1/5: What are you on about? Come back when you've learned to appreciate simple booger jokes, or don't come back at all!
Will in Seattle thinks a booger joke is an anti semite joke? not shocked!
There are no words.
It's a size reference ...
Kind of like the forced laughter at a Miss America pageant over USAmericans.
Oh, for chrissake, keep going, Will, keep going.
Please, Will, do tell us more about your Scottish grandfather and his supposedly Jewish-looking nose. I'm waiting.
I'd like to hear more on the Bonny Size of Laughter.
@15 - no, that was the whole story. Now go pick your dainty nose and laugh at how America is not racist, and Obama has 70 percent of the vote ...
Which race is the one that has dainty noses, Will?
The Wee People. Their noses are very dainty. Impossible to pick except with special tiny spoons, made of quicksilver.
Will's ancestor's noses can be easily removed and put back on again, as he is descended from Mr. Potato Head.
Will, are you really retarded or do you pretend to be in many a failed attempt to be funny?

Standup benefit for Brandon Reynoso boasts great lineup
Brandon Reynoso (right) hangs with a friend after the incident
"Whenever a Minneapolis comic gets thrown down some stairs and breaks their arm, I always make time to do a benefit show for them," says local comedian Tommy Ryman. "This is the third show I'm doing, so I think there might be a problem."
Ryman, best known nationally for his recent appearances on Last Comic Standing, is just one of the many high-profile local comics in this weekend's benefit show for comedian Brandon Reynoso. In July, Reynoso was assaulted on his 30th birthday by a fellow comic who had blacked out after a long night of drinking. The altercation landed Reynoso at the bottom of a flight of stairs, with two shattered bones in his wrist and around $20,000 in medical bills.
"I can already see a lot of puns. I've been doing standup for years but I finally got my 'big break,'" Reynoso jokes.
The shows, which run at the Comedy Corner Underground the next two weekends, will showcase several well-known local comedians, including Ian Rans from Drinking with Ian and City Pages writer and comedian Bryan Miller.
Reynoso has already raised $2,500 dollars through donations from local comedians, but he says that money is mainly to help him pay his regular bills, like rent, since he won't be able to bartend for another three to five months. And since he has no health insurance to pay off the staggering medical bills, he's taking any help he can get.
"That's just survival money, really," he says. "I'm getting married next June. My fiancé was diagnosed with MS this year. So, we were kind of in dire straits already."
Reynoso's close friend and fellow comedian Bob Edwards helped put the show together. He's not surprised that the comedy community came together so quickly to help out. Just last year, local comedian Kate Urquhart was diagnosed with cervical cancer. When the cancer progressed to her liver and Urquhart passed away, folks put on a benefit show to help Urquhart's partner pay for outstanding medical bills and funeral expenses.
"Standup is a very different kind of art form," Edwards says. "When you're a standup, all the way up until you're headlining A-list clubs, you're still usually doing the mic circuit. So you're going to see these guys that are doing the same thing as you four, five, six times a week." According to him, there are few standup scenes that are comparable to Minneapolis when it comes to cohesiveness. Some of these comics see other comedians more than they see their own family, he adds.
Reynoso says he's currently in litigation over the ordeal, so he can't say much about what happened, but he's itching to get back to doing standup now that he's off his pain medication.
Reynoso started his standup career with Edwards in Omaha, Nebraska, around 2005. They then moved to Minneapolis around 2008 specifically for the strong comedy scene here.
Since then, Reynoso has been a regular fixture on the Minneapolis circuit. Regardless, he says he's amazed by the amount of help he's been receiving from his fellow comedians. "I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay them, and it really means a lot to me," he says. "It definitely gave me a new faith in the community."

Me and some friends had an early dinner here, which was great, but realized after we left that we wanted to come back and check it out at night. Fortunately for us we were sitting next to a promoter, Indi Romero, who gave us his contact information and told us he would help us out later getting in, when it turns into a club scene, and becomes difficult to get in. He surely followed his word as he told us to email him at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 212-255-4223 and we decided to email since we were unfamiliar with him, he answered immediately and gave us a many options to go on that Friday night but we chose Le Souk. It was a blast, the music great the people amazing,all thanks to my new friend Indi!

FIRST THOUGHT : COCA-COLA...as 'dotpaul' said, they shouldnt have mixed both...I woulve stayed just with the penguins...
I thought it was a Coca Cola ad when I clicked on it...
Needless to say, Discovery Channel can do better CGI.
plus when they started off talking about "the heat that's coming this way", i was convinced it was a global warming message. and i'm pretty sure i thought it was sponsored by coca-cola too
so for me, the brand & the message got way too lost in the middle of a whole lot of other associations that shouldn't have been all that hard to predict
One question... is this bear singing something about "oh.. it's so hot here..." and
the penguins answer (from the other hemisphere) " well... it will never be hot here..."
Are publicis playing on the global warming effect to sell a fucking drink... this is really poor.
If you think, that your customers are so dumb, that they belive that a drink will
stop global warming... please stop this brainfuck.

Not even the rains could dissuade hundreds of revelers as they braved the downpour on New Year's Eve to troop and witness gospel singer Ephraim Mutalange offload his eighth studio album titled Teti Ntwishike.
Various notable gospel artists including upstarts like Esther, Njamba and the Burning Bush Ministries praise team shared the stage with Ephraim to send agog the crowd that thronged Mulugunshi International Conference Centre.
Known as the Son of Africa, Ephraim, who has so far recorded over six albums, all of which have been successful with messages of hope and love, proved why he has remained one of the top gospel crooners.
With his charming voice, Ephraim kept his music followers on their toes while ushering them in the new year in style.
The Teti Ntwishike album added to previous studio projects which include Miracle Child (2001), Limo limo Ndanaka (2003), Lesa Talekelesha (2005), Mungu Mwenyewe (2006) Favour is My Name (2008), Acha Kulia (2010) and Lekeni Iloke (2011).
Top charters from the previous projects include hits such as This Life, Lesafye and You are the Fire.
Ephraim in his early days sold various merchandise on the street to try and make a living in Kalulushi Town.
Realising he could sing, his talent was soon discovered, but he refused to sing secular music but felt his calling in the industry was gospel tunes.
The Temba babe singer has travelled the world singing and sharing his testimony and has won awards locally and internationally including best Male Singer and Best Male Performer.
Ephraim sings and performs in three different languages such as English, Bemba and Swahili, captivating his fans in several African and western countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the USA.

Andrae Crouch, a legendary gospel performer, songwriter and choir director whose work graced songs by Michael Jackson and Madonna and movies such as "The Lion King," has died. He was 72.
Crouch died Thursday afternoon at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where he had been admitted Saturday after suffering a heart attack, said his publicist, Brian Mayes.
The Recording Academy, which awarded seven Grammys to Crouch during a career that spanned more than a half-century, said in a statement that he was "a remarkable musician and legendary figure" who was "fiercely devoted to evolving the sound of contemporary, urban gospel music."
Crouch and his twin sister, Sandra Crouch, also a singer, lived in the Pacoima area of Los Angeles. They were pastors at the New Christ Memorial Church in the Los Angeles suburb of San Fernando.
"Today my twin brother, womb-mate and best friend went home to be with the Lord," said Pastor Sandra Crouch. "I tried to keep him here but God loved him best."
Born in San Francisco, Crouch wrote his first gospel tune at age 14.
Crouch wrote dozens of songs, including gospel favorites such as "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power," "My Tribute (To God Be the Glory)" and "Soon and Very Soon," which was sung at a public memorial to Jackson.
Debuting in 1960, Crouch helped pioneer the burgeoning "Jesus Music" movement from the late 1960s and '70s that started the spread of contemporary Christian music.
"We've lost a true pioneer and he will be missed," said Jason Crabb, another Grammy-winning gospel singer.
His influence also crossed over into in pop music. Elvis Presley performed his song "I've Got Confidence" for a 1972 gospel album, and Paul Simon" recorded "Jesus Is the Answer" for a 1974 live album.
Crouch worked with many other stars, from Diana Ross to Ringo Starr, and his gospel albums sometimes featured performers from other musical genres. His 18th solo album, "The Journey," released in 2011, featured Chaka Khan, Shelia E., Take 6, Kim Burrell and Marvin Winans.
Crouch was one of only a handful of gospel performers to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
His choir, The Disciples, sang background for Madonna's song "Like a Prayer." Crouch helped Michael Jackson arrange the King of Pop's 1987 hit song, "Man in the Mirror."
He also arranged music for the 1985 film "The Color Purple" — which earned him an Academy Award nomination — and Disney's "The Lion King" in 1994.
His success came despite a lifelong struggle with dyslexia. To create, he would make drawings that allowed him to grasp the concept. For the Jackson song, he drew a mirror with an image in it.
"I memorized everything through sight, the shape of the word," Crouch told The Associated Press in 2011. "Some things that I write, you'll see a page with cartoon pictures or a drawing of a car — like a Ford — or a flag. I still do it on an occasion when a word is strange to me."
"So when I finish a song, I thank God for bringing me through," he continued. "You have to press on and know your calling. That's what I've been doing for all my life. I just went forward."
Crouch had health issues in recent years, including diabetes and cancer. Last month, he was hospitalized for pneumonia and congestive heart failure and had to cancel a tour.

Watch Myles Munroe Has Startling Prophetic Dream Before Plane Crash.Before his plane went down and killed him and eight others on the way to the Bahamas, Dr. Myles Munroe had previously had a dream about leadership transitions he believed he would see in the Bahamas.
In the dream, a track and field athlete was lying in his coffin, clutching a baton. After he awoke, Munroe said he understood the message of the dream:
"It was about people dying with a baton instead of passing it on," Munroe said. "I was thinking, the young person who's supposed to lead next has to go to the casket, pry the baton out of the dead man's hand just to take it to the next leg."
He continued, "Great leaders pass [the baton] on before they die, and they live to see the other person run. Hopefully, we will get to see that in the Bahamas."

The Italian war of 1536-1538 was a conflict between King Francis I of France and Charles V, King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor. The objective was to achieve control over territories in Northern Italy, in particular the Duchy of Milan. The war saw French troops invading Northern Italy, and Spanish troops invading France. The Truce of Nice, signed on June 18, 1538, ended hostilities, leaving Turin in French hands but affecting no significant change in the map of Italy. Overall, Spain increased its control over Italy, signifying the end of Italian independence. The war strengthened animosity between the Spanish and French, and reinforced ties between France and the Ottoman Empire which had sided with Francis I against Charles V.
Long Term[edit]
In 1500, Louis XII made an agreement with Ferdinand II on dividing the Kingdom of Naples, as Frederick IV was removed from the Neapolitan throne. This was known as the Treaty of Grenada. This decision was heavily criticized by influential figures such as Niccolo Machiavelli, whose opinion was embraced by many of Italy's citizens as well. When Charles V came into power in 1519, he gained more of a reputation in Italy, as he joined Spain together with the Holy Roman Empire.[1] The French then invited the Spanish to migrate into Italy.
Short Term[edit]
The war began in 1536 between Charles V and Francis I of France commenced upon the death of Francesco II Sforza, the duke of Milan. Sforza had no children and died of a long and painful illness in 1535. Because he had no heirs, Francesco's dynasty was brought to an end by Charles V, whose niece, Christina of Denmark, was Francesco's wife. There were no protests when Charles V took over the Duchy of Milan from either the people or other Italian states. This shift in power marked a new era for France, as Jean de la Foret was brought in as an ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, a territory coveted for its wide range of goods and large amount of power. Foret and Francis I secured an alliance with the Ottoman Empire, giving France a strong and intimidating army, ready to attack desired targets such as Marseille and Piedmont, areas close to the Italian province of Genoa.
When Charles's son Philip inherited the duchy, Francis invaded Italy. Philippe de Chabot, a French general, led his army into Piedmont in March of 1536, and proceeded to capture Turin the following month, but he failed to seize Milan. In response, Charles invaded Provence, a region of France, advancing to Aix-en-Provence, and took Aix in August of 1536 but his movement was halted by the French Army blocking routes to Marseilles. Afterwards, Charles withdrew to Spain rather than attacking the heavily fortified Avignon. There is also a story that French troops deliberately left over-ripe fruit on the trees in an attempt to give Charles's troops dysentery.
While Charles V was busy fighting for territory in France, he lost focus on events taking place in Italy. Francis I's armies received massive reinforcements in Piedmont in terms of generals, troops, and horses on a march headed for Genoa. France had secured an alliance with the Ottoman Empire in 1536 through the diplomatic efforts of Jean de La Forêt, France's ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.[2] A Franco-Turkish fleet was stationed in Marseille by the end of 1536, threatening Genoa, by planning to attack simultaneously with the French troops marching on land towards the city.[2] Unfortunately for the French and Ottomans, when they arrived in Genoa in August of 1536 the defenses of the city had been recently reinforced. Instead, the troops marched onto Piedmont, capturing many towns there.[3] In 1537 Barbarossa raided the Italian coast and laid a siege at Corfu, although this provided only limited assistance to the French.[3]
With Charles V unsuccessful in battle and squeezed between the French invasion and the Ottomans, Francis I and Charles V ultimately made peace with the Truce of Nice on 18 June 1538.[3]
The Truce of Nice, signed on June 18, 1538, ended the war, leaving Turin in French hands but affecting no significant change in the map of Italy. The Truce of Nice was notable because Charles and Francis refused to sit in the same room together because of their intense mutual hatred. Pope Paul III was forced to carry out negotiations by going from room to room, trying to reach an agreement between the two leaders. Tension from this war led to Charles V turning to fight against the Ottomans, only to lose at the Battle of Preveza on September 28, 1538.
Overall, Spain gained significant control over Italy. This Italian War meant that Italian independence had ended and that Italy would undergo oppression from both the German and the Spanish. The war proved that Italy was not a single, unified state, but rather that Italy was made up of many divided states and territories with different interests, making it highly susceptible to future invasions. Future Italian wars emerged from this conflict over territory, specifically the Italian War of 1542-1546. Moreover, the Italian people experienced severe degrees of devastation on their land. Armies plundered cities and slaughtered along the countryside.
This war entrenched hostilities between the Spanish and French, as they would continue to vie for control over territory and influence throughout the world. For example, even after the death of Francis I in 1547, Henry II, Francis' successor, continued aggression against the Imperial/Spanish and Charles V. The war weakened both countries financially. The Italian War of 1536–38 strengthened the alliance between the Ottomans and the French, for it took the both of them working together to make Charles V desire peace, in order to avoid a two-front war.

Jisc's Historical Texts brings together for the first time three important collections of historical texts, spanning five centuries: Early English Books Online (EEBO), Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), and the British Library 19th-century collection.
The study of religious minorities and their experience of persecution is sadly topical.
Reviewing this book is a challenge. The 'handbook' genre falls somewhere between that of an encyclopedia and that of the textbook but without the overall coverage, both of topics and details, of the former nor the communications-driven 'narrative arc' of the latter.
Fatal Rivalry, Flodden 1513: Henry VIII, James IV and the battle for Renaissance Britain / George Goodwin
On the ninth of September, 1513, the reign of James IV, Scotland's increasingly powerful and well-regarded Renaissance prince, came to an abrupt and unforeseen end near to the village of Branxton in Northumberland.
In 1977 – fifteen years after his death – a spat about the merits of the work of R. H. Tawney broke out in the letters pages of the Times Literary Supplement. The catalyst was a feature called 'Reputations revisited', in which contributors were asked to nominate their most overrated and underrated books and/or authors of the past 75 years.
The dissemination of cultural improvement was written into the ethos of the BBC under John Reith, the first director-general from 1927. Until 1945 the BBC broadcast a single national service and therefore constructed programming that attempted to offer a culturally unified 'voice of the nation'.
If Jeanne d'Arc had stuck to embroidery under her mother's petticoats, then Charles VII would have been overthrown and the war would have ended. The Plantagenets would have reigned over England and France, which would have formed one territory, as it did in prehistoric times before the Channel existed, populated by one race.(1)
Jan Machielsen's book is ostensibly the first modern biography of the Jesuit scholar Martin Delrio (1551–1608), a man best known today as the author of the treatise on witchcraft Disquisitiones magicae ('Investigations into magic'). However, to call this important book a biography does it an injustice, since it is so much more than this.
Ephemeral City. Cheap Print and Urban Culture in Renaissance Venice is surely one of the most significant and impressive works on early modern European print culture to have been published in recent years. Its author, Rosa Salzberg, is an Assistant Professor of Italian Renaissance History at the University of Warwick.
This is a useful contribution to the growing body of research on 19th-century Irish print media (it begins with a survey of academic literature on the subject).

Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) has been proposed as a therapy for a range of neurological disorders. To realize the potential of this approach, it is essential to control survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of NSCs after transplantation. NSCs are regulated in vivo, at least in part, by their specialized microenvironment or "niche." In the adult central nervous system, neurogenic regions, such as the subventricular and subgranular zones, include NSCs residing in a vascular niche with endothelial cells. Although there is accumulating evidence that endothelial cells promote proliferation of NSCs in vitro, there is no description of their impact on transplanted NSCs. In this study, we grafted cortex-derived stroke-induced neural stem/progenitor cells, obtained from adult mice, onto poststroke cortex in the presence or absence of endothelial cells, and compared survival, proliferation, and neuronal differentiation of the neural precursors in vivo. Cotransplantation of endothelial cells and neural stem/progenitor cells increased survival and proliferation of ischemia-induced neural stem/progenitor cells and also accelerated neuronal differentiation compared with transplantation of neural precursors alone. These data indicate that reconstitution of elements in the vascular niche enhances transplantation of adult neural progenitor cells. STEM CELLS 2009;27:2185–2195

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a north Florida man fatally shot his girlfriend and then killed himself.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office reports that deputies responded
Thursday afternoon to a shooting at the Middleburg home. The dead
woman's juvenile daughter had heard the shots and ran to neighbor's
house to call 911.
The sheriff's office did not release the names of the man or woman, but records show the home's owner, George Chaney, filed paperwork last week to evict Kathryn Jackson. Neighbors say the two were going through a breakup.
The state Department of Children and Families has taken the girl and was looking to place her in the care of relatives.

As the NATO bombing campaign in Libya entered its 100th day on Monday, Gaddafi loyalists revealed their latest plan to combat Libyan rebels in their ongoing conflict – female soldiers.
500 women of all ages graduated this weekend from a program designed to teach pro-Gaddafi females how to use weapons, reported the Guardian from a Tripoli event closely monitored by government minders.
"Libyan women are now joining the armed forces against NATO. We are training them. Their main role is defending homes. We have no plan to send them to the front line. They are not trained for that, and our army is very effective," Moussa Ibrahim, a government spokesman, told the Guardian.
"We are going to make sure that every mother, the symbol of love and creation, is a bomb, a killing machine," Moussa added.
Gaddafi's women warriors displayed their loyalty by hoisting green flags and enlarged photographs of the Libyan leader into the air. Others wore jewelry decorated with Gaddafi's image.
Some of the women reportedly fired their newly-obtained guns into the air to celebrate finishing the program.
"We love Muammar Gaddafi and we want to save our country," one of the female graduates told the Guardian. "He made us happy. He makes us eat and makes the country free to do what we want. Before, we weren't free. My grandparents tell us that before Gaddafi, it was bad, there was no bread. He saved us."
Check out a photo slideshow of the event here.
Gaddafi's newest recruits in the months-long conflict in Libya are certainly not the country's first female fighters. Rebel commanders have been training female soldiers near Benghazi for weeks, according to a Reuters video report released earlier this month.
The Libyan leader's own personal bodyguards are mostly comprised of women.
Meanwhile, residents of the besieged town of Misrata captured pro-Gaddafi mercenaries - all women - who were dispatched to Libya from Columbia, according to a news website sponsored by the U.S. army's Africa Command.
Moamer Kadhafi's government is using Colombian mercenaries to fight revolutionary forces, according to Misrata residents.
The rebels alleged that they captured several Colombian women belonging to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in the early days of the Libyan uprising.

When Love Meets Drugs: Pharmaceuticalizing Ambivalence in Post-Socialist China

In this article, I examine the interaction between intimacy and psychiatry to explore the ambivalences in the use of pharmaceuticals in psychiatric practice. Of particular interest is how pharmaceuticals come to constitute in multiple ways what pathology is and what form of life needs to be restored, and how psychiatric medications reconfigure the ambivalence of intimacy in post-socialist China. Following the life of Mei, a female psychiatric patient, for two years, I have made a series of discoveries related to medicine and intimacy in China. Specifically, I show that psychopharmaceuticals indicate a diseased body that threatens the intimate bond. They also highlight a socially suffering subject that is in lack of love from the intimate partner who demands the latter's redemption. I discuss how these multiple and contradicting meanings of psychopharmaceuticals and intimacy are socio-historically situated. Thus, while previous research in medical anthropology criticizes pharmaceuticalization for reducing the socio-political life (bios) to a biological body (zoē), I argue that these life forms co-exist in a pharmaceutical "zone of indistinction" (Agamben, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life. Stanford University Press, Stanford, 1998), in which they constitute and contradict each other. This discussion warns researchers against falling back into the usual orientation of either biomedicine or the social sciences.
