It's past time for the media and Democratic Party to face the fact that "Occupy" movement they encouraged and championed has utterly, decisively failed. Based upon the delusion that they represented "99 percent" of the population, the protestors in various went on to deliver a string of other messages to the World that they never intended.
Occupiers showed that they couldn't put together something as a simple as a coherent political platform or message, other than that they hated banks (when they weren't using them) and they hated corporations and billionaires (when they weren't being funded, fed, and warmed by them).
The incoherent messages from Occupy came scattershot:
- we hate using toilets, and would rather use police cars or public streets to defecate or urinate.
- we hate basic personal hygiene
- we hate violence, except for breaking windows, arson, and bomb and grenade-building.
- we love recreational drug use
- we protect rapists, and discourage rape victims from reporting sexual assaults to the police
The list goes on, but why bother?
The outcome is clear: the Occupy movement is the latest failed astro-turfed pack of zealots backed by Democratic politicians, corrupt unions, and a vengeful media hoping to protect the status quo.
The Coffee Party, the Other 95%, Crash the Tea Party, Van Jones' Rebuild the Dream, the AFL-CIO's Working America and other failed initiatives cannot and will not get traction with the majority of the American public for the simple reason that all of these groups are/were designed to protect institutions that power and serve the left wing political machine. Commies and unions and cronies, oh my. The public isn't buying it, and no amount of mainstream media propaganda can sell it.
The Occupy movement is just the latest attempt to portray the radical leftist protectionist racket as a mainstream cause, and it has failed, decisively.

Firms ignore ban and run Facebook ads
Related topics
When it comes to tapping into the world's largest social media website, with 845 million potential customers, mainland advertisers aren't going to let a little obstacle like government censorship get in their way.
The potential for profits by reaching out to Facebook's legions of regular users outweighs the risks and hassles of advertising with an online behemoth that is blocked on the mainland. That's the thinking of companies such as adSage, a Beijing-based online advertising firm that began a commercial partnership with Facebook in 2010.
Late last year, adSage started helping mainland firms open Facebook accounts, while also offering the firms guidance on managing advertising campaigns on the networking site. Beijing has banned Facebook, largely out of fears it could be used as a rallying point for dissidents.
Facebook can be accessed on the mainland by using special software that allows internet users to circumvent the 'Great Firewall'. 'China is a large potential market for Facebook,' the company said on February 2 in its US Securities and Exchange filing for an initial public offering. 'We continue to evaluate entering China.'
This is not the first time the company has publicly shown interest in the mainland market. Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, 27, visited Beijing in 2010 and toured top internet companies in town. The trip was widely seen as a move to seek business opportunities.
'We can start to figure out the right partnerships we would need to succeed in China on our terms,' Zuckerberg said later in a speech at Stanford University.
The company could not be reached immediately for comment.
Based on the number of user visits, Facebook is the world's second-most-popular website, trailing only Google, according to the Alexa web-information company. China's Baidu ranks fifth.
Businessmen such as adSage boss Tang Zhaohui see the potential, even now, of reaching out to people on Facebook.
'Most Chinese advertisers [on Facebook] are from the gaming, education and tourism industries,' Tang told the Sunday Morning Post. 'The number of advertisers has tripled since the business started last year.'
He said about 3,000 companies used adSage's Facebook services, though he declined to name them. The company's media manager, Chen Tingting , explained that 'putting advertisements on Facebook is still a sensitive issue' on the mainland', adding that 'they want to keep a low profile on this'.
However, Tang said one of their largest advertisers on Facebook, from the computer gaming industry, might spend more than US$1 million a month to advertise on the site, making the company 'one of the largest advertisers globally on Facebook'.
None of the advertisements posted by mainland companies had anything to do with politics - they were simply aimed at Western customers, he said.
'The education companies want to attract more people to learn Chinese, while the tourism firms want Americans to use their service to book flights and hotels; and that's why they come to us.'
Acknowledging Facebook's difficulties in entering the Chinese market, Tang said 'commercial co-operation [with mainland firms] could be a good start'.
'Facebook takes the Chinese market seriously,' he said. 'They can't do marketing out in the open, but they frequently visit big advertisers in private with us.'
Facebook opened a sales office in Hong Kong early last year, giving the company its second office in Asia after Singapore. The office is strategically located to serve both the Hong Kong and Taiwanese markets, and potentially mainland China.
Because it offers its service free to users, Facebook's income comes largely from advertising revenue, which it said reached US$943 million in the fourth quarter of last year, accounting for 83 per cent of the company's total revenue in that period.
Mainland companies don't have a big impact on those numbers, but analysts predict that could change as the advertising market continues to boom on the mainland.
Joining adSage in recognising the benefits of doing business on Facebook is DHgate, an online trading platform with offices across the mainland. Hu Hao , a marketing specialist for DHgate.com, noting Facebook's size and global penetration, said his company's core markets included the United Sates and Britain, making the website the perfect platform to reach customers.
DHgate started advertising on Facebook in 2010, hiring a team of social media professionals to explore user trends on Facebook in order to devise strategies to raise brand awareness and engage consumers directly.
The company now has more than 22,000 'Likes' on its Facebook page.
'Facebook serves as an alternate channel for the company's PR,' Hu said. 'We have key individuals within the community who were actively answering the questions of other community members on behalf of us. It is a great dynamic.'
But like adSage, DHgate needs special software to access its own Facebook page on the mainland.
'Our Facebook users are all overseas buyers based outside China, so domestic policies were never a factor for us,' Hu said.
In October 2010, during his address at Stanford, Zuckerberg raised a key question that has yet to be answered. 'How can you connect the whole world if you leave out a billion people?'

To:The Art Teacher with many ideas, Kaayla
Getting to Know You More
Thank You from all of us
Getting Everyone Involved
Mosaics are always fun, especially when each square an individual makes is a part of a huge class project. Doing this project really let us, as classmates, become closer and show our own artistic talent.
Our First Project
Detecting Every Detail
Our last and most recent project was to paint a part of nature in a certain time of the day like morning or evening. After that we took another art class to draw the same picture yet with a different pallet. By doing this, we learned to take note of the smallest of details, each step making us better artists.
Just getting to know you, was easy. You started off with giving us inspiration, like learning how to paint snakes, and teaching us how to do fun stuff with our brushes! We had lots of fun with you when you came. Every time you left, we wanted you to come back the next day.
Thanks A lot!
We never had so much fun in art until you came. It was cool getting to know you better as you taught us how to do handle our paint brushes and do more artwork!. Before you came, we had no idea how to use a paint brush to paint out our imagination.
Every time before we started a new picture, you took us on a trip, a trip to the tropical place named Australia.
Thank you for helping us with the surprise party for
Ms. Ng. If it wasn't for you, who reminded
Mr. McEwan to come, everything wouldn't be as it was planned. We would also like to thank you for helping us create the canvas for Ms. Ng. Since you spend your time helping us, search up facts about the art we are doing and going to stores to buy paint and paint brushes, this is how we can express our thank you. You have no idea how much you did to help us.
You would always make everyone happy by saying how nice our art is and how creative we are. Just saying that brightens up our day, but everyone know that your paintings are the most thoughtful ones.

A infinitesimal quantity of HLTV Ohio territory mortgage loaning is double-geared toward Ohio subprime (high-risk) borrowers. For maximum HLTV borrowers, however, defaulting speculate is low. Lenders in that way addition from raised authority that loans will be repaid, spell borrowers gain belittle a little something tax on their restructured acknowledgment paper debt, plus tax-deductibility on few of their Ohio matrimonial equity debt zing.
The use of the language unit subprime to characterize HLTV lending has make quite a few frenzy in relation to its disposition and risks and has led some observers to detail the dry run as requiring special skills. In fact, the profitableness and low border line stake of HLTV disposal have
been among the industry's best-kept secrets. Some plant scientist entering HLTV disposition are astounded by the rewarding low-risk disposition opportunities it can hold out. Banks close to City Holding Company (Charleston, West Virginia) and Community West Bancshares (Goleta, California) are among those that until just this minute had been disinclined to get in the HLTV sphere. After they began message HLTV loans in 1997, financial institution executives in a while completed that ''the conglomerate is not as problematical as they at the outset believed and is similar to the Title I lending they had through for years'' (Talley 1998, 7).
The bafflement has largely come with from semantic difficulties. Before HLTV lending, the incalculable bulk of loans facade the specifications of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went to borrowers near less than terrific approval.Post ads:

That is no longest the case, but the relation between unsuccessful to adapt to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards and Ohio subprime stigmatization lives on. The subprime trade name (or B and C ratings) is ofttimes unmoving applied to all loans that have ''been rejected by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae because [the loans] don't come across their underwriting criteria'' (Bush 1997, 34). Freddie Mac defines the subprime Ohio matrimonial mortgage market as a niche that pecuniary resource mortgages that do not group time-honoured underwriting standards. Ohio Subprime mortgages are made to borrowers who have a smorgasbord of quondam respect worries of varied seriousness or to society near unconventional appropriation needs, plus those that exceed 100 pct of the inexplicit property's merit. (Roche 1998)
The implications of Freddie Mac's delineation are important: references to Ohio subprime mortgages may arise because of recipient characteristics or Ohio mortgage product characteristics. This confusion was plain in the November 1996 fighting between Greentree Financial, a editorial column in manufactured structure loans, and Faulkner & Gray, a publisher of commercial enterprise applied math on theOhio subprime lending industry. Before November 1996, Faulkner & Gray's Inside B&C Lending was coverage Greentree Financial as the figure 2 servicer in B and C (or subprime) loans.
''However, this superior was based on the state of affairs of [Greentree's] factory-made housing
loans and Greentree did not privation these loans to be rumored as subprime. Consequently, its superior cruel to No. 28'' (Froass 1997, 99).

The confusion has progressed to the barb where on earth the Ohio Mortgage Bankers Association of America now favors the residence unorthodox appreciation for all such as disposition in this country. With this fame the MBA has cautioned that ''a lender referred to as a sett assets investor cannot [therefore] be taken for granted to modify solely to Ohio subprime borrowers.''
Even the residence nonconformist can be confusing: HLTV loans fall through to change singular to the middle-of-the-road (rather than the new) standards set by government-sponsored enterprises such as as Freddie Mac. Experts guess that individual roughly 30 per centum of habitation assets Ohio mortgages are made to Ohio subprime borrowers (Froass 1997, 100).
Furthermore, HLTV Ohio mortgages are across the world A- to Aminus-grade listing and are categorised as unorthodox acknowledgement singular because of their magnitude comparative to the helpfulness of Ohio mortgage collateral (which is with the sole purpose factor of the lender's safety resistant non-attendance). The actual activity enjoyed by lenders extends to the opposite funds and resources of borrowers and to the nonpecuniary losings that borrowers would experience from proceedings.
Robert Grosser, important executive, Cityscape Financial, commented that ''there's a physical idea [regarding HLTV loaning], because associates merchandising and commercialism these loans as a matter of course have a subprime divergence. It's not a subprime loan'' (Timmons 1997a, 13). Similarly, industry leaders such as Gordon Monsen, erst of Paine Webber; Jeff Moore, principal enforcement of Mego Mortgage of Atlanta; and Dan Phillips, chief enforcement of FirstPlus Financial, take a firm stand that the HLTV company is not decently classified as Ohio subprime loaning (Bary 1997; Timmons
1997; Muolo 1997).

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
There''s an extra coat of hot wax on Pixar''s vibrant, NASCAR-influenced comedy about a world populated entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season (the film''s high-octane opening) ends in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest desert and is taught to stop and smell the roses by the forgotten citizens of Radiator Springs. It''s odd to have such a slim story from the whizzes of Pixar, and the film pales a bit from their other films (though can that be a fair comparison?). Nonetheless, Cars is another gleaming ride with Pixar founder John Lasseter, who''s directing for the first time since Toy Story 2. There''s the usual spectrum of excellent characters teamed with appropriate voice talent, loads of smooth humor for kids and parents alike, knockout visuals, and a colorful array of sidekicks, including a scene-stealing baby blue forklift named Guido. Lightning''s plight is changed with the help of former big-city lawyer Sally Carrera (Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt), the town''s patriarch Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and kooky tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). The Incredibles was the first Pixar film to break the 100-minute barrier, but had enough story not to suffer; Cars, at 116 minutes (including some must-see end credit footage), is not as fortunate, plus it never pierces the heart. Trivia fans should have bonanza with the frame-by-frame DVD function; the movie is stuffed with in-jokes, some appearing only for an instant. Ages 5 and up. --Doug Thomas
From the acclaimed creators of TOY STORY, THE INCREDIBLES, and FINDING NEMO comes a high-octane adventure comedy that shows life is about the journey, not the finish line. Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life. Stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on the old Route 66, he meets Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there''s more to life than trophies and fame. Revved up with a sensational soundtrack, featuring Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, James Taylor, and others, plus exciting bonus features, including the exclusive short movie "Mater And The Ghostlight," CARS is full of freewheeling fun for everyone.

Pre-arrival vaccinations: Ensuring a healthy study abroad experience
Studying abroad is an important experience of anyone's life. Before you can set off to your study destination, you have to do a number of things including demonstrating you have the necessary funds to finance your studies, obtain the correct student visa and pack. However many don't think about their health, namely ensuring they have received the correct vaccinations to enter that country - sometimes it's because they're simply scared of needles!
In some countries, this is a pre-requisite for even gaining entry to that country! Furthermore if you wish to study a health or medicine-related course, especially one where you must treat patients, your health and wellbeing is even more important. Plus, you simply don't want to get caught out and come down with something serious while studying abroad - sitting in hospital is no way to spend your time in another country.
The countries you are travelling to and from will determine which diseases you would need to get immunised against. The most common diseases you can be asked to get vaccines for include Tuberculosis, Meningitis, Hepatitis B and MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) which you find out more about further below.
Here are some of the main vaccines you should look into getting if you haven't already:
Tuberculosis is a respiratory track and lung disease that is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium. The disease is passed on from one person to another with direct contact, which raises concern for its spread among population.
There is more of a concern in the UK and USA which has lead to the extensive screening of immigrants that intend to stay in the country for more than six months.
Meningitis is a deadly brain and spinal cord disease that can kill in a matter of hours. Meningitis can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Similar to the case of Tuberculosis, Meningitis can be spread by direct contact, which causes concern for its spread and makes the vaccinations against the disease more important.
The MMR vaccine caters for three diseases i.e. Measles, Mumps and Rubella. Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can cause severe symptoms including blindness and even death. The disease has now become very rare in the UK and US due to the effectiveness of MMR vaccine.
Mumps is a contagious viral infection that means it is very easy for people to catch from others. Mumps can develop into Meningitis and cause brain disease. Rubella on the other hand is caused by a virus. It is transmitted by the respiratory route and can cause cardiac and cerebral defects.
The vaccines of MMR are usually given in two doses, one at birth and one a few years later. According to MMR Immunisation Policy you can only be exempt from getting the vaccination if you are pregnant, religiously restricted to get the vaccination, severe allergies or there is presence of cancer.
Hepatitis B causes inflammation in the liver and can be caused by contact with health care equipment, blood transfusion or exchange of other body fluids. The disease can be deadly which is why sometimes you would be required to be immunised against it.
Simple: Ask. Your parents or guardians should know, or failing that, your family doctor.
Find out if you need to be in order to enter the country you're studying in, and arrange an appointment with your family doctor to get your shot. You don't want to be stuck at immigration upon entering the country, nor spend your first few days in a new country registering with a doctor in order to receive a shot.

I recently watched season two of Silicon Valley (HBO). The series is about a new start-up trying to survive the cut-throat world of Silicon Valley. I love the show. It's funny, the characters are geeky, and the episodes are interesting. If you have not seen the series yet, I highly recommend it. Silicon Valley: The Complete Second Season is available now on Digital HD, and will be on Blu-ray and DVD on April 19, 2016. Note: there's a lot of bad language in the show (it's rated TV-MA), so don't watch with your kids around.
The Story
Most of us have heard about how the early employees of Google became multi-millionaires. Silicon Valley is essentially the story about one of the many other groups that struggle to get funded. The main character, Richard Hendricks, develops the best file compression algorithm in the world. Words quickly spread and everyone wants to fund Richard's first round. Then Richard's former employer enters the picture and puts Richard's future in doubt. But Richard comes through again and develops an even better file compression algorithm. All this happened in season one. In the second season, Richard feels even more pressure when a lawsuit causes his funding to dry up.
The Main Cast
Thomas Middleditch is the star of the series. He plays the part of the lovable Richard Hendricks. Martin Starr (Bertram Gilfoyle) and Kumail Nanjiani (Dinesh Chugtai), like the previous season, are funny together. Amanda Crew (Monica) is still lovely. I'm hoping she and Richard eventually hook up in the series. Other major cast members include T.J. Miller (Erlich Bachman), Zach Woods (Donald 'Jared' Dunn), Matt Ross (Gavin Belson), and Jimmy O. Yang (Jian Yang).
Silicon Valley: The Complete Second Season Bonus Features
The two-disc includes all ten episodes of season two. The Blu-ray has a runtime of about 320 minutes (including bonus materials). Special features include (Reality Bytes is the most interesting):
- Reality Bytes: The Art & Science Behind Silicon Valley
- Deleted Scenes
- Six Audio Commentaries with Mike Judge, Alec Berg, T.J. Miller and many more
Silicon Valley Season Two Synopsis
After taking the tech world by storm last season at TechCrunch Disrupt, Richard and rest of the Pied Piper team — Erlich, Jared, Dinesh and Gilfoyle — look ahead to a bright and profitable future. But their success may be in jeopardy, thanks to big changes at Raviga, the company created by Peter Gregory, and Nucleus, the competing compression platform launched by Hooli CEO Gavin Belson. Starring a talented ensemble of series regulars, including Thomas Middleditch as Richard Hendricks; T.J. Miller as Erlich; Josh Brener as Big Head; Martin Starr as Gilfoyle; Kumail Nanjiani as Dinesh; Zach Woods as Jared; Amanda Crew as Monica; Matt Ross as Gavin Belson; Suzanne Cryer, who joins the cast as Raviga managing partner Laurie Bream; and Jimmy O. Yang as Jian-Yang. Guest star Ben Feldman returns as Ron LaFlamme; new guest stars include Chris Diamantopoulos as Russ Hanneman and Alice Wetterlund as Carla.

star-cd website?
Can anyone tell me where I can find 'Dr Post' or other useful articles in new cd-adapco.com. Thank you in advance
Re: star-cd website?
Re: star-cd website?
Correct, but unfortunately adapco-online is woefully out of date. Hasn't been touched in three years, as far as I can see. Which is a crying shame.

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Richard Yu, Director at Huawei, confirmed that the company will launch a VR-compatible smartphone in autumn this year. "We want to be the number-one smartphone maker in the world. It's a long-distance race, and we have the patience. Our growth is mainly coming from the high-end premium segment. If you want to be the leading vendor you have to lead in the high-end," he told WSJ.
Finally! ARM's new chip to enable VR content in smartphones
During it's I/O Conference in Mountain View, California last month, Google announced that Daydream VR will run on Android phones featuring a list of specifications as well as the Android N operating system. Google has already certified its flagship smartphone, the Nexus 6P, as the first phone to support Daydream, but the company has announced that phone makers like Samsung, HTC, LG, ASUS, Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE and Alcatel will manufacture phones later this year which will be capable of supporting Daydream VR.
A few days ago, chip-maker ARM unveiled its latest Cortex-A73 processor and Mali G71 GPU which will enable smartphones to run VR and augmented reality content. "While the smartphone market is slowing, there's no slowdown in innovation and customer demand for new features. Our goal is to redefine VR and AR experiences on Android," said John Ronco, senior VP of product marketing at ARM to V3. If premium phone makers adopt the new chip for their smartphones, it is possible that a large number of VR-capable smartphones will vie for attention either later this year or by next year.
Google's Daydream VR: All you need to know
"We're pleased to have been working with Google to ensure our range of Mali GPUs, video and display processors are able to deliver the ultimate mobile VR experience on Daydream. In addition, ARM has been working closely with a number of our leading silicon partners, enabling them to ship their first wave of Daydream-ready devices," said a company spokesperson. We wonder if Huawei's first VR-capable smartphone is among those phone which will feature ARM chips and GPUs designed specifically to support Daydream VR.
In other news, Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO at Huawei, has said that the company aims to earn annual revenues of up to $150 billion by 2020 which matches with the company's dream of becoming the largest seller of premium smartphone in the world in the coming years. The company will invest as much as 10 per cent of its annual sales on research and development.
