SOURCE: Crowl, Samuel. "Zeffirelli's Hamlet: The Golden Girl and a Fistful of Dust." Cineaste 24, no. 1 (1998): 56-61.
In the following review, Crowl examines Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 film version of Hamlet, starring Mel Gibson as Hamlet and Glenn Close as Gertrude. Crowl praises Zeffirelli's casting, textual editing, and exploitation of cinematic space and landscape, and claims that the film offers a full exploration of the play as a family romance centered around Gertrude.
Franco Zeffirelli, the maker of the most commercially successful of all Shakespeare films, has received paradoxically less critical attention than any of the other major directors of Shakespeare films. Olivier, Welles, Kurosawa, Kozintsev, and Branagh all have found their work at the center of scrutiny in the growing body of critical literature devoted to Shakespeare on film. But not Zeffirelli. Of the six books which appeared between 1988 and 1992, and which constituted a mini-explosion of...

The Failure of the Euro
The Little Currency That Couldn't
(warein.holgado / flickr)
The euro should now be recognized as an experiment that failed. This failure, which has come after just over a dozen years since the euro was introduced, in 1999, was not an accident or the result of bureaucratic mismanagement but rather the inevitable consequence of imposing a single currency on a very heterogeneous group of countries. The adverse economic consequences of the euro include the sovereign debt crises in several European countries, the fragile condition of major European banks, high levels of unemployment across the eurozone, and the large trade deficits that now plague most eurozone countries.
The political goal of creating a harmonious Europe has also failed. France and Germany have dictated painful austerity measures in Greece and Italy as a condition of their financial help, and Paris and Berlin have clashed over the role of the European Central Bank (ECB) and over how the burden of financial assistance will be shared.
The initial impetus that led to the European Monetary Union and the euro was political, not economic. European politicians reasoned that the use of a common currency would instill in their publics a greater sense of belonging to a European community and that the shift of responsibility for monetary policy from national capitals to a single central bank in Frankfurt would signal a shift of political power.
The primary political motive for increased European integration was, and may still be, to enhance Europe's role in world affairs. In 1956, just after the United States forced France

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - An Athens-Clarke fire investigator said a candle sparked Monday's blaze that killed a retired University of Georgia art professor.
Fire Inspector Alan Morse said the fire was ruled an accident. He said it started when a candle set a couch on fire in a bedroom.
The wood-frame house was heavily damaged.
Authorities said 66-year-old William "Bill" Mariott died from smoke and soot inhalation.

Berggruen Considers Selling Parts of Karstadt, Spiegel Says
Nicolas Berggruen is considering selling parts of the Karstadt department-store chain, Spiegel magazine reported, without saying where it got the information.
One of Berggruen's spokesmen rejected any intention to sell, Spiegel said in an advance copy of an article in its print edition, without naming the person.
Jared Bluestein, head of Karstadt's supervisory board, is in negotiations with Qatar Holding LLC and George Weston Ltd. about a possible sale of Karstadt's so-called premium stores, Spiegel said.
Ute Kiehn, Berggruen's assistant in Germany, wasn't available when Bloomberg called after normal office hours. Karstadt's press office wasn't available for comment on the weekend, according to the company's switchboard operator. A spokesman for Qatar Holding LLC didn't immediately respond to a phone call or e-mail for comment.

This article reports the results of a patient-satisfaction survey administered by interview to 2045 adults discharged from several major public and private hospitals in Turkey. The direct measurement of patient-satisfaction is a new phenomenon for this country. An instrument was designed similar to those available in the United States and administered during exit interviews. Two primary areas of analyses were determined in comparing services provided by these public and private hospitals: demographic factors with regard to accessibility and consumer perceptions of the quality of service provided. Relationships and percentages within and among the five public and two private hospitals are reported. Several statistically significant differences were found between the hospitals, with the private hospitals achieving the greatest satisfaction on most of the quality of services issues examined. Future recommendations outline the need to take into account the public's perception of these hospitals and enhancing customer satisfaction as a means of increasing service utilization.

PTTEP Seeks East Africa Assets to Triple Output, Anon Says
PTT Exploration & Production Pcl said its planned $1.8 billion acquisition of Cove Energy Plc will act as a platform to explore natural-gas deposits in East Africa that will help triple the Thai company's output by 2020.
"Cove is an opportunity for us to gain an entry," Chief Executive Officer Anon Sirisaengtaksin said in an interview at his office in Bangkok. "We are not just looking for this transaction. We are more strategically looking in East Africa."
Beyond Mozambique, where Cove has a share in one of the largest gas discoveries in a decade, PTTEP is seeking larger reserves in Tanzania and Kenya, Anon said. East Africa offers a new source of gas supply for Asia, where China and India are the world's fastest-growing major economies. Eni SpA of Italy, BG Group Plc of the U.K. and Statoil ASA of Norway also discovered natural gas off Mozambique and Tanzania.
"East Africa is a resource-rich region that could significantly help increase petroleum reserves for PTTEP," Nalinrat Kittikumpolrat, an analyst at Asia Plus Securities Pcl in Bangkok, said by phone. "Still, it will take at least seven years before the project makes a contribution."
Bangkok-based PTTEP, Thailand's biggest publicly traded explorer, plans to boost production to 900,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day by 2020 through acquisitions and the expansion of projects in Australia, East Africa, North America and Southeast Asia, Anon said. Thailand imports about half of the 1.8 million barrels of oil equivalent it consumes each day, according to data from the Energy Policy and Planning Office.
'Hot Spot'
East Africa is a "hot spot" with the potential for significant natural-gas discoveries, Anon said yesterday.
PTTEP shares have gained 5.9 percent this year, compared with a 7.2 percent advance in the 63-member Bloomberg World Oil & Gas Index. The stock fell 0.6 percent to 178.5 baht as of 10:09 a.m. in Bangkok. Thailand's benchmark SET Index, which is up 17 percent this year, was down 0.3 percent.
The company last month offered 1.1 billion pounds ($1.8 billion) for London-based Cove, beating a 992.4 million-pound bid by Royal Dutch Shell Plc for the African explorer. Cove holds 8.5 percent of a block off Mozambique where Anadarko Petroleum Corp. found as much as 30 trillion cubic feet of gas, enough to justify production of liquefied natural gas for Asian markets.
Mozambique's government is assessing how much tax will be paid on the sale of Cove's stake in the Rovuma basin, Mineral Resources Minister Esperanca Bias said on March 1. PTTEP is "now waiting for this clear resolution before we would be able to move on," Anon said.
Oil Sands
PTTEP may also buy assets including tight oil -- or oil from shale formations -- in North America or stakes in LNG projects that would supply the fuel to its parent company, PTT Pcl, Anon said, without naming any acquisition targets.
In November 2010, PTTEP bought 40 percent of Stavanger, Norway-based Statoil ASA's oil sands project in Canada for $2.28 billion, the biggest acquisition by a Thai company. More purchases are likely, even if the company's bid for Cove proves successful, Anon said.
"Each time we are going to make a decision we would have at least 40 deals in the deal-flow, and we will screen and only select one or two each year," he said. "This will ensure you will not make a mistake and ensure you have quality of the new asset acquired."
PTTEP may sell long-term hybrid bonds and is considering other capital-raising proposals to finance acquisitions, Anon said, without giving details. Debt won't exceed 0.5 times the company's equity, Anon said.
Fiscal Flexibility
"We have the liquidity to support this new investment" in Cove, Anon said. "But to move on and make ourselves more flexible, a funding plan is important. So we are working to ensure we would be ready at any time to intercept these new opportunities."
PTTEP has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4 times, compared with more than 1 for many of its global peers, Asia Plus's Nalinrat said. The company has 111.2 billion baht of debt, including 79.2 billion baht of bonds and loans maturing in the next four years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"With its discipline in avoiding increasing its debt, PTTEP may have to increase equity," Nalinrat said.
The explorer has 41 oil and gas projects worldwide, and has said it plans to spend about $20 billion on expansion by 2016. The company's net income rose 2.1 percent to 44.7 billion baht last year.

More Used Luxury Cars Being Exported From Greece, Ta Nea Reports
Greece's recession, higher taxes and falling resale prices is leading to an increase in the export of used luxury cars from the country, Ta Nea reported, without saying where it got the information.
The fall in prices of used luxury cars compared with other European countries has spurred interest from foreign buyers, mainly from Belgium, with cars destined for resale in European and African countries, the newspaper said.
Many of the luxury cars being exported belong to Greek leasing companies with large fleets who have seen a decrease in demand, the Athens-based newspaper said.

Two Dead And Dozens Hurt After Amtrak Train Derails Near Philadelphia
An Amtrak train derailed Sunday morning after it struck a backhoe on the tracks near Philadelphia, killing at least two people and injuring dozens more, according to news reports.
An Amtrak train derailed Sunday morning after it struck a backhoe on the tracks near Philadelphia, killing at least two people and injuring dozens more, according to news reports.
According to reports at least four people were injured Monday morning when an Amtrak train derailed in Vermont—the second major derailment for the rail company this year.
In the National Transportation Safety Board's ongoing investigation into Tuesday night's deadly Amtrak derailment, investigators have found that a technology designed to prevent trains from traveling at dangerous speeds had not been installed on the stretch of track where Amtrak 188 derailed.
Less than 24 hours after an Amtrak train derailed in Philadelphia, killing at least seven and injuring 50 more, House Republicans voted to approve a funding cut to Amtrak's budget by about a fifth.
According to sources who spoke with NBC News, the Amtrak train that derailed last night in Philadelphia was traveling more than 100 mph when it crashed at a curve where the speed limit is just 50 mph.
Everyone who's ever traveled to Europe, China, or Japan, comes back freaking about all the trains we don't have. Amtrak trains are slow, unreliable, and, weirdly enough more expensive. In fact, they're so bad, Amtrak's own CEO cries about it. And it's no one's fault but our own.
According to the Associated Press, the DEA spent nearly 20 years buying confidential passenger information from an Amtrak employee in an effort to screw over the railroad behemoth.
One of the best things about taking Amtrak, America's Rail System That Is Woefully Inadequate Compared To Europe, is that it the trains have free wifi. The downside is that the free wifi is hilariously terrible to the point that it's nearly unusable. But that might change soon!
While Hurricane Sandy raged over the New York metropolitan area, the underground infrastructure of the city began to flood. Now Amtrak is revealing that they could have let Penn Station flood instead of the Hudson River tunnels, using a long-forgotten barrier designed to protect the city during World War II.
The fastest trains in the USA are the Amtrak Acela, which hit a pretty decent 150 MPH. But on July 3rd, 1938, a steam-powered locomotive called the Mallard hit 125.88 MPH in England, and it's still the fastest steam locomotive in the world.
Getting tired of all the Tesla stories? I'm not. Getting away from the sideshow that is Elon Musk v. The NYT there's a much deeper truth about transportation and EVs buried in this story: driving a car from D.C. to Boston is a bad idea for most people. There's a much smarter, cheaper, and faster way to get from D.C.…
America is a car country. We always have been, and we probably always will be. But as much as we all love driving, we have to recognize that there are some downsides to not having a first-rate rail system like Europe or Japan.
Passengers on Amtrak's Cardinal service (Train 51) heading toward Chicago, Illinois from New York have been stranded in West Virginia since approximately 8:00 pm due to last night's storms, Jalopnik can confirm. Amtrak says 232 passengers were on board when downed trees forced them to stop. It'll be another few hours…
Yesterday's "Snunderstorm" (thunderstorm plus snow) is playing havoc with transportation throughout New York City and beyond. LIRR service is down. Amtrak's down. JFK, LaGuardia and Newark are closed. Even a subway train was stalled for hours in Brooklyn. More below.
A train from Baltimore to Philadelphia stalled on the tracks for ten hours last night. With doors locked and electricity waning, passengers cried and fought for emergency rations. A local news reporter happened to be on board, and tweeted it.
After checking out our Ten Worst Train Stations post, I recalled Hate Comics creator and brilliant libertarian ranter Peter Bagge's insightful comic entitled "Amtrak Sucks."
We've always lauded the Honda Fit for its high build-quality. Proof? One took down an Amtrak train in Chelsea, Michigan last night.
One of the biggest complaints people have about taking Amtrak is that they don't have their car when they get where they're going (that and the delays/long trips). Since the 1970's there's been a solution in the form of the Auto Train, which allows passengers to take their cars with them. The train only operates from…
This reminds us of that one episode of CSI where the girl got rear-ended by the guy in the big Ford truck in a bout of road rage and was pushed onto the train tracks, her Cherokee smashed to smithereens by a locomotive. Thankfully, this incident seems to be an accident rather than an act of malice, and everyone made…

Vaginal carcinoma in situ
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is the optimum treatment for Vaginal Carcinoma in Situ laser surgery? Is there any other option? Is this early stage considered to be pre-cancer or cancer?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Vaginal carcinoma in situ is considered a premalignant, or preinvasive, disorder. Several treatment options exist--the best option depends on the location and extent of the abnomality. Limited lesions may be removed through surgical excision. Larger areas may be treated with laser vaporization. However, because this method does not produce a biospy specimen for examination by a pathologist, it is very important that adequate biopsies be performed before the laser therapy to exclude the presence of small areas of invasive cancer.
When the lesions are in several different areas, or cover a large portion of the vagina, the situation is more challenging. Treatment with intravaginal 5-FU (Efudex) cream is one option. Total removal of the vagina (total vaginectomy) with skin grafting, and radiation therapy have also been utilized.
You should be aware that these lesions often recur after treatment, and occasionally may recur as invasive cancer. Usual follow-up requires physical examination and vaginal Pap testing every 3-6 months after treatment.

Portfolio Critique Requested
Hello all, I took some advice and fixed some problems thank you for your input could i please get a new review. Thank you for all your help
- Intro showing your name is still too long.
- Poor choice on backgrounds. Don't have a black background when the character is mostly dark as well.
- Buildings and perhaps some of the cars could use some bump mapping.
- Metal on the cars are far too shiny.
- Resume is un-readable and cannot be printed off.
- What is R3DP?
Much better in terms of keeping my attention. Since you've gone through the steps to improve your portfolio, I'll offer a few more things that I've noticed with this iteration.
Echoing Yaustar:
If the background is dark/black (the first clip of the walk cycle the dark character, the gas pump, the snow scene) it needs back-lighting or a different skydome to stand out. If you don't have the model files to edit, take it out of your reel, since they are the weakest clips.
Consider editing to the beats of music, and shorten your transitions to pace.
Since you are displaying poly-count, it would only help if you were to show an inset of your UV's unwrapped so that we could get an idea of how you pack and paint your textures. Even at the very least, include your unwraps in a stills section of your site.
Your name is listed right above the reel, so there's no real need to display it again. If you want to watermark your work for the sake of identification, put a small unobtrusive and transparent watermark in the corner that lasts for a few seconds and plays over the demo as it runs.
Take out the thank you for watching text at the end.
You've made some real progress in displaying your work, so it's only a constant evolution from here on out. And remember, as your work improves, the stuff that you may think isn't the best of the best needs to go.
I'm unsure about One Republic as the BGM in the reel. What about something low-key or more ambience? The intro was nice, but as soon as the vocals started it got distracting.
In looking at your resume, I would re-work your opening. It should be short and to the point about who you are and what job you are looking for. Give a short description of yourself (I like the use of passion, I mean, that's what this is about right?). It helps to use the word 'I' less, and some grammar is in need of touch up ("I work good under stress and have never been late on my deadline" should be something like "I work well under stress and consistently finish work at or before deadlines.")
Resumes are difficult, and if I find a link to a good website on artist resumes, I'll let you know. You artwork is great, keep it up!
Since I'm not anything more than a piddling animator, I'm going to ignore the content and focus on the site.
From the get-go, I'd advise you to ditch the Wix and the flash. Having a quick-loading, clean web-site (there's not too much for the design issues in that respect) is absolutely key. Have your resume available in .pdf and .doc formats, as well as a text-based version online. There are plenty of XHMTL/CSS templates that you can muck around with even if you don't know much markup languages.

PG Dominique Hawkins of Richmond, KY was named his state's Mr. Basketball Friday night. He did not follow that up with a college commitment announcement as many had forecast. Hawkins, who holds offers from USC and Purdue, is waiting on an offer from Kentucky. He met earlier in the week with Wildcats' coach John Calipari but as of Friday night an offer had not been extended. The UK coach apparently is still sorting things out with his roster for next season. Hawkins will now wait until after his spring break this week before making a decision. He also has offers from Tennessee Tech, Morehead State and Western Kentucky, and Louisville has invited him to walk-on, but he is waiting on the word from Calipari before moving forward.Tweet

My main focus starts with my kids. I have two children (Kaitlyn, 13 and Trey, 6) that are the center of my world. Kaitlyn is a very accomplished dancer already, with dreams of Performing Arts School as well as the big stage someday. Trey is your typical 6 year old boy…loves baseball, wrestling, and recently has found a love for bowling. Spending time with them is my ultimate release, and it's what I enjoy most. Recently I've discovered a love for fitness. Although it started more out of necessity than desire, due to some serious health problems that I'd been dealing with for most of the last 20 years - I needed a lifestyle change. With the help of a good friend, I've been able to "re-shape" my body and mind for the better. This newfound love for fitness has helped me physically and mentally, and created new opportunities for my future.
I grew up in the lumber and building business, but always had a love for bowling. My Mother bowled professionally for few years and my Father has always bowled as well. I always thought my future lied in professional bowling, but I chose to go the family business route and run our lumber yard instead. In the meantime, I got involved with drag racing and building competitive show cars as a hobby but bowling was always still there. Finally, in 1999 I decided to join the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) and that was the springboard to where I am now.
I've always been a realist….I understand where my talent level is. I may never be a top 10 player like a Norm Duke or a Pete Weber…but I guarantee you that I will work as hard as anybody to accomplish whatever I can. My goal was always to win a PBA National Championship, and I was very fortunate to achieve that goal in 2009. Now, no matter what happens nobody can ever take that away. Whether I win 1 or 100 titles my kids will always call me Daddy….and that's what matters most.

Oculus Rift unconvinced by Xbox One and PS4 VR potential
The Oculus Rift team still intends to ignore the Xbox One and PS4 and focus on PC and Android, concerned that lengthening development cycles for consoles could see them left behind in virtual reality, even with the cloud's help. "There's no reason it can't technically work," Oculus Rift CEO Brendan Iribe conceded to OXM, but pointed out that "one of the concerns that we do generally have around consoles is that their life cycles are getting longer all the time." While the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are considered powerful today, they could be seriously out-performed when it comes to VR in the next few years, Iribe argues.

News Footage from our Prop. 1 Debate, Pt. 2
posted by October 19 at 10:13 AMon
In Part Two of our editorial board debate over the $17.8 billion roads and transit initiative, it's the pro-side: campaign spokesman Sandeep Kaushik, Transportation Choices Coalition staffer Rob Johnson, and Environment Washington's Bill LaBorde vs. the antis: Mike O'Brien from the Sierra Club, David Hiller from the Cascade Bicycle Club, and Mike McGinn from the Sierra Club.
In this dramatic conclusion, Savage starts the debate by saying, "I want 50 miles of light rail so bad, I don't give a shit if they pave 180 miles with baby mice"; the debaters reveal their real preferred transportation option; and David Hiller abandons Seattle's standard passive aggressive MO and goes aggressive aggressive.
Also, the Sierra Club's McGinn gets the last word with a killer sound bite: "We shouldn't be responding to what people in Olympia say is possible. They should be responding to what we say is needed."
Oh, and for those that can't quite tolerate all the transit wonkery, Rob Johnson isto quote a Slog reader commenting on Part 1"being hot again."
Enjoy Part 2:
In case you missed it: Here is Part 1.

I have a huge /etc/hosts file with 18,000 lines. I use it to block adservers and such. My browsing performance seems to be fine, but I wonder if there's some size at which I'll start slowing myself down? How do OS's store the hosts file during operation? I can think of lots of ways, from slow to fast, and my a priori assumption is that it is handled efficiently since it is so central to networking. Here are some ways I can think of from simple to more complex:
- Read from file each time it's needed.
- Read once
- linear search
- sort, then binary search
- use a trie
- use a hash, but how does it minimize collisions
There's lots of ways that seem reasonable. What's actually used?
It seems like this question must have been answered somewhere, so pointers to an existing resource are welcome. I did look, but maybe not in the right place.

Nearly 160 apply for summer jobs program
The new Erie Summer Jobs And More program is off to a promising start.
Nearly 160 applicants between the ages of 16 and 21 applied for the program on Wednesday and Thursday, the first of two orientation days for youths, their families and employers, said John Flanagan, program officer for the Venango Training & Development Center Inc.
The program still has two additional orientation days lined up.
"We expected between 100 and 200 applicants," Flanagan said. "For the first two days ... maybe this is a little more than we expected. But we think it's fantastic.
"Our hope is that we can get this program funded in the future to the point where we can serve every youth who applies," Flanagan said.
In total, 157 people have applied for the jobs program, with 144 of them living within the city of Erie. There are 13 applicants, thus far, who live in other areas of the county.
The $211,000 jobs program is largely funded by Erie County government and the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority, each of which contributed $100,000 to the effort, and the Erie Community Foundation. Supporters hope it can help curb violence and crime and assist local youths in poverty.
Perry Wood, the Gaming Revenue Authority's executive director, said he is so encouraged by interest in the program that he plans to meet with the Gaming Revenue Authority's board of directors soon to "discuss whether or not we think the size of this pilot project needs to increase."
Asked whether he wants to talk with board members about increasing the authority's financial contribution in the future, Wood said: "It's ultimately the board's decision. But that's what I am talking about. We're incredibly encouraged by the number of kids who applied."
The six- to eight-week program is open to county residents between the ages of 16 and 21 who come from families with income within 235 percent of the federal poverty line.
For example, the line for a family of four is $23,850, meaning the 235 percent mark is $56,047.
At least 50 percent of participants in the program -- which will pay minimum wage and place applicants in clerical, landscaping, maintenance and other types of jobs -- will come from Erie. The remaining participants will come from other areas of the county.
All participants will be chosen at random. Those accepted into the program will be notified before the start of up to 20 hours of mandatory job readiness training at Gannon University from June 30 through July 3.
Those courses, Flanagan said, will focus on behavior, timeliness, dress, behavior, r�sum� writing, researching existing available jobs and other "soft skills" needed to join the workforce.
The program is still determining the specific needs of employers and what types of jobs will be available.
"Our main goal is not just to put a paycheck in these kids' hands," Flanagan said. "We're going to break down the whole process of career readiness.
"Really, what we hope through the employers is that the kids get an idea of what careers are available both with the employer and in the (Erie) area," Flanagan said. "Things like manufacturing, health care, trades, all of that stuff."
Erie County Councilman Jay Breneman supported setting aside $100,000 in county dollars for Erie Jobs And More. Breneman also asked Erie City Council, earlier this week, to help spread the word about the program to potential applicants.
Breneman believes that initial turnout for the program "shows that the need is there, but also shows that we probably started it at the right size." He added, though, that the program must be about "more than just handing kids money.
"I hope what this means is that employees recognize the opportunity they have to bring on young adults willing to work, and who are thankful for the opportunity," Breneman said. "It is my hope that employers will grab on to this program and run with it."

Rapacia (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
In his second novel in the popular series Heck, Dale E. Basye takes Milton and Marlo Fauster on a journey that is as full of clever, dark humor and laugh-out-loud silliness as the first.
Welcome to Rapacia, where the greedy kids go.
When her brother, Milton, escapes the otherworldly reform school Heck in a soul balloon made of old clothes, Marlo is the only Fauster child left to take the blame. Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, sends her straight to Rapacia, the circle of Heck where greedy kids are tormented by glimpses of a just-out-of-reach, glittering shoppers' paradise called Mallvana. Marlo soon falls under the sway of Rapacia's vice principal, a grinning metal rabbit known as the Grabbit that seems to have plans of its own. Marlo is torn between wanting to find a way out and wanting to do . . . whatever the Grabbit asks her to do.
Meanwhile, back on the Surface, Milton has his own problems. He is determined to get in touch with Marlo and help her find a way out of Heck. But it's hard to concentrate when his body and soul don't seem to hold together the way they used to. Will Milton ever reach Marlo? And if he does, will they both end up as pawns in the Grabbit's mysterious game?
About the Author

If you are at convenience with dealing with rather little digital systems after that you could purchase an iPhone 4 battery replacement set. This substitute package will consist of the battery, a plastic situation opening device to eliminate the rear panel which is occasionally called an iPod opening device, a Phillips head screwdriver dimension # 00 or as a few of the apple iphone 4s have an apple iphone 4 5-point screw, called pentalobe screws, you will need the iPhone 4 5-point screwdriver to remove those screws. The set must consist of an instruction page or provide you an on the internet site that has the substitute instructions in video or photo format.
When you visit replace the battery on the iPhone 4 you will should eliminate the rear panel and also remove the battery. You begin by seeing to it your apple iphone 4 is shut off. Then you take off the back panel by eliminating the outside screws near the port for the dock. Then you push the back panel to eliminate. Following you have to remove the screw attaching the battery connector to the motherboard. You have to take the battery connector up very meticulously so you don't draw or jerk it off. Also get rid of the antenna get in touch with. After that you have to secure the battery using the plastic tab that is sticking up at the side of the battery. Once again this has to be preformed very carefully so you do not ruin anything inside the back of the iPhone. When you insert your brand-new battery you will certainly have to change this procedure. Obviously if you do it on your own you nullify any kind of Apple guarantee you may have.
Since Apple typically has a one year guarantee if your iPhone is less compared to a year old and also it will be if you bought it lately after that merely send it back to Apple for replacement as this is the most safe means to do it. Yet when you get the apple iphone back from Apple you will not have any kind of information in it so ensure you have supported every one of your information up with an iTunes backup. Ensure you back up your iTunes, contacts, pictures you wish to maintain, any sort of e-mail account setups, text you intend to save etc. If you decide to send your iPhone to a 3rd party repair location such as a web website that specializes in iPhone repair service you would get back your iPhone 4 with your information brought back in it. If you go this route you will have to keep in mind to send them any kind of unlock passwords as well. See how to unlock iphone 5s.

Drug Safety:
When a friend and I bought some gift items in the school store, we were informed that Trine is a "dry" campus.Honestly, whenever I have been on the main campus, I have never seen rowdiness or any type of unruly behavior.If drugs/alcohol are being used, it is NOT evident.
Drug Safety:
If you don't want to be apart of it, there is very little pressure to do so. However, if you do want to be a part of it, you would probably be able to find it.
Drug Safety:
There are a lot of rules about being a dry campus, but it is never enforced.
Drug Safety:
They do crack down on drugs when they find them but obviously it isn't easy for them to catch people so if people want it, they usually get it, just the same as any other college I would assume.

This paper proposes a new method for recovery of epipolar geometry and feature correspondence between images which have undergone a significant deformation, either due to large rotation or wide baseline of the cameras. The method also encodes the uncertainty by providing an arbitrarily close approximation to the posterior distribution of the two view relation. The method operates on a pyramid from coarse to fine resolution, thus raising the problem of how to propagate information from one level to another in a statistically consistent way. The distribution of the parameters at each resolution is encoded nonparametrically as a set of particles. At the coarsest level, a random sample consensus Monte Carlo Markov chain (RANSAC-MCMC) estimator is used to initialize this set of particles, the posterior can then be approximated as a mixture of Gaussians fitted to these particles. The distribution at a coarser level influences the distribution at a finer level using the technique of sampling-importance-resampling (SIR) and MCMC, which allows for asymptotically correct approximations of the posterior distribution. The estimate of the posterior distribution at the level above is being used as the importance sampling function to generate a new set of particles, which can be further improved by MCMC. It is shown that the method is superior to previous single resolution RANSAC-style feature matchers.

JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT GIVES WRITTEN NOTICE OF INTENDED DISTRICT DECISION The District gives notice of its intent to issue a permit to the following applicant(s) on August 16, 2005: Marsh Creek Owner's Association Inc., 5455 A1A South, Saint Augustine, FL 32080, application #1498. The District proposes to allocate 0.090 million gallons day of ground water and surface water from the stormwater management system to irrigate 38.87 acres of urban landscaping and 0.043 million gallons per day of ground water to supplement five stormwater ponds. The withdrawals used by this proposed project will consist of ground water from the Floridan Aquifer via 9 active wells; Surface Water from stormwater lakes via 13 active pumps in St. Johns County, located in Section(s): 4; Township: 8S; Range: 30E known as Marsh Creek Owners Association. The file(s) containing each of the above-listed applications are available for inspection Monday through Friday except for legal holidays, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the St. Johns River Water Management District Headquarters or the appropriate Service Center. The District will take action on each permit application listed above unless a petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) is filed pursuant to the provisions of Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes Chapter 28-106 and 40C-1.1007, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) A person whose substantial interests are affected by any of the District's proposed permitting decisions identified above may petition for administrative hearing in accordance with Section 373.427 F.S., and Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or all parties may reach a written agreement on mediation as an alternative remedy under Section 120.573, F.S. Choosing mediation will not adversely affect the right to a hearing if mediation does not result in a settlement. The procedures for pursuing mediation are set forth in Section 120.573, F.S., and Rules 28- 106.111 and 28-106. 401-.405. F.A.C. Petitions must comply with the requirements of Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 28-106 and be filed with (received by) the District Clerk, located at District Headquarters, 4049 Reid Street, Palatka, Florida 32177.

I tell my atheist friends that religions play a net positive role in America.
Given the incentives in our economic system and the essentially Darwinistic nature of our economic behavior, religions offer a moderating effect.
Were it not for their religious beliefs tugging at the respective consciences of our leaders and the wealthy, it would be outright economic warfare, all the time, with no moderation.

I think religion gets the credit for this when in many instances it is 1) we are hardwired to do unto others because this is what best promotes survival and 2) because we have laws to regulate what we also know to be true about human nature: that we will do things we would not otherwise do if we think no one is watching.

I don't see how any real student of history can view religion as anything
but a net evil on the world. Yes religion can and has do good but it isn't
much and all of that good would have been done anyway even without religion.
People generally strive to treat each other better, take care of each other,
work to improve life. There are countless examples of that happening by people
who aren't religious so religion can't claim it wouldn't happen
without it. Then when you look at the evils religion has forced upon the world
it just totally overshadows anything good religion has ever done.
Religious dogma teaches to kill those that don't believe they same way you do or won't convert. It stagnates progress by trying to control believers and discouraging independent thought. There is just no question that all in all religion is one of the worst ideas humans have ever had.

I think this editorial really makes the case for both religious diversity and separation of Church and State. As the editorial notes, when those lines are blurred, religion itself no longer has the moral influence it once had. The influence of religious belief is strongest when it is free of other entanglements.

Economic well being for as many as possible, if that is in fact the goal, can only come about through Christianity's spread and acceptance. The Muslim world as whole is woefully proof of its absence! Communism has centuries of proof. Socialism is doing its darnedest to delude the masses into slavery and tyranny. Some Capitalists are being deluded by its greedy, fascist complicity with Government recently, looking backward toward the biggest delusion of all, Socialism, and that delusion precipitated by envious, lazy, and immoral people who no longer understand the truth that will make them free, both economically and morally, Christianity! It is without doubt the biggest farce in the world's history to even imply that religion has done anything but allowed the greatest amount of freedom the world has ever known! I am now the discriminated minority in society, which is ironic considering that I am one of the few that is actually doing anything worthwhile, perpetuating children into well adjusted, keenly aware human beings who forge ahead with faith despite the countervailing philosophy that says to do just the opposite, including to ironically ask the federal government to do more for them! Such is the challenge!

In a broader sense, religion plays the role of local institution that enables people to become involved in their community. A successful church or religious organization can be judged by how it provokes participation by it's members. Growing up in the LDS faith there was rarely a week during my teenage years that went by without some involvement with neighbors, many of whom represented diverse ages, backgrounds, and life outlooks. It's this type of community gathering that should be rewarded and encouraged. Unfortunately, accompanying our current age of information is that the dogma from most religions is being laid bare for scrutiny. So there's an increase of people, disenchanted with the negative aspects of religion, who still have the desire for community participation either grudgingly living more solitary lives or reluctantly involving themselves more at work to compensate for the missing component of neighborhood involvement. No, religion and faith aren't inherently positive. Yes, the participatory element that accompanies local community religions plays a crucial role in keeping people productive and fulfilled. It takes a village to raise a child, and an adult happy.

At work there was a discussion of religion. Some of the people were sharing what religion they were. One young man described himself as a recovering Catholic. When asked to elaborate, he said he was tired of the fear and the control and was trying to free himself.

has its positives.
It teaches to treat other as we would want to be treated. It teaches to give to charity.

Religious freedom equally means religious responsibility. God told us to put Him
first in our lives. He gave us life. He gave us rules to live by. He wants us
to be happy and to make others happy; therefore, He gave us instructions that
lead to happiness.
Too many people reject religion and God because they don't want to be bothered with rules. They don't want instructions. They could care less that their rejection of "godliness" shows only that they are in rebellion against "holiness". They think that agency gives them the freedom to do whatever they want whenever they want however they want. Agency is nothing of the kind. Except for infants and children, there is no such thing as agency without accountability. We are responsible for every thought, for every desire, for every action and for every inaction. We will fully account for our lives to Him who gave us breath.
Freedom to worship means that we will account to God for how we worshipped or how we refused to worship.

Religious freedom exits, and is not in any way threatened in in the United
States. People can believe as they choose, worship as they choose, pray
privately whenever they choose, express their belies and opinions as they
choose, etc. And they can accept the consequences of their beliefs and words,
just like everyone else does. The only thing they can't do is attempt
legally to impose their religious beliefs on the country or to discriminate
against people in a manner contrary to the rules and requirements of established
law (the same is true for all of us).
This article is a good advocate for keeping strong the separation of church and state. Each has its own correct area of operation. Don't mix and mingle their legal effects.

Religion is the most controlling influence on the lives of human beings. Other government entities tend to limit their control over their subjects mainly if not only in the outward freedoms. Religion seeks to not only control the outward expression of a person but the inner most thoughts and beliefs of the individual as well.

@Mike Richards;
One reason I dislike religion so much is the mini-sermons from it's "special adherents" (you, for instance). Not only are they boring as heck, they're also self-centered and selfish. Just take a look at banderson's comment above if you want an example of selfish - and arrogant.

The only reason that religion is so successful is that it plays upon the greatest fear of life, which is fear of dying. No other imaginary, unproven and improvable product could overcome the intelligence of a human being. But religion has been given cart blanch to say and tell any thing it wishes without question. But without it, life might not be so care free.

Religion is good for us, but given too much power in our society it strays from its stated purpose of bringing peace to people and starts to use its control to oppress them. All of history say that religion as a total government is bad for people and civilization. I know of no examples of where religion has elevated societies of mankind above the natural world. There are many examples of where individuals have been elevated above the natural world but even then they are ineffective for the whole.

I suppose that's why the editorial is about protecting religious freedom rather than trying to regain it. The latter is much more difficult to accomplish than the former and usually requires bloodshed.
Ultra Bob wrote: "No other imaginary, unproven and improvable product could overcome the intelligence of a human being."
There is one tiny catch, which is this: God has promised that he will reveal himself to those who seek him and are willing to do what he asks them to do. I assure you that he is not imaginary and not unproven, (I'm not sure about "improvable") as I as well as millions of others witness of the truth of his existence. The problem is that one can't prove it to someone else, one can only prove it to one's self. God intentionally arranged it that way so that no man can say they were compelled to believe or to not believe. It's a choice to seek God or to not seek him, so your own eternal fate rests in your own hands and not anyone else's.
