text: ENGLISH EDITION Information Bulletin of the P.O.U.M. (Workers Party of Marxist Unification) EDITOR AND ADMINISTRATION Plaza del Teatro, 2 - BARCELONA THE P.O.U.M. AND THE POPULAR FRONT. FOR AN INDEPENDENT POLICY OF THE WORKING CLASS IN THE INTERESTS OF THE WORKING CLASS. Scarcely two months ago our Party encountered great difficulties in holding a meeting in Valencia. Our political position as regards the Popular Front had put the republican parties against us, and with them the workers who belong to them. They showed us great hostility and worked to isolate us. Every circumstance offered scope for injuring and calumniating the P.O.U.M. and its militants. They did not allow us to use the public platforms. They attempted to surround our party with the same atmosphere as that which was formed round the Bolechevik party during the Russian revolution. Why did they combat us in this way? Why were we called provocateurs? Because, in the face of the feeble manoeuvre of the official communists and the socialists and republicans we alone maintained our class morale, the revolutionary spirit of October. We kept on saying that the choice for Spain and for the world was not between bourgeois democracy and fascism, as the Communist International claimed in its opportunist degeneration, but between revolution and counter-revolution, socialism and fascism. We advocated an independent, revolutionary policy of the working class and its unity of action within the revolutionary Workers' Alliance, with the crushing of fascism and the triumph of the proletarian revolution as our goal. We were not listened to, and a contrary policy was pursued. Instead of accelerating the experience of the bourgeois republicans, powerless to destroy the enenmy - fascist reaction - and incapable of carrying through the democratic revolution in Spain, both socialists and official communists sacrifice to the policy of the Popular Front the interests of the working class and its clear revolutionary action. Their opportunist policy could have had tragic consequences for the working class. CONTENTS 1. The POUM and the Popular Front. 2. Meetings at Valencia and Castellon. Julian Gorkin's Speech.

Scalable ion traps consisting of a 2D array of electrodes have been developed, however 3D trap geometries can provide a superior potential for confining the ions. Creating a successful scalable 3D ion trapping device is based on maintaining two qualities - the ability to scale the device to accommodate increasing numbers of atomic particles, whilst preserving the trapping potential which enables precise control of ions at the atomic level. Previous research resulted in compromising at least one of these factors, largely due to limitations in the manufacturing processes.
The team at NPL has now produced the first monolithic ion microtrap array which uniquely combines a near ideal 3D geometry with a scalable fabrication process - a breakthrough in this field. In terms of elementary operating characteristics, the microtrap chip outperforms all other scalable devices for ions.
The coherent control of quantum-entangled states of trapped ions has led to significant advances in quantum information, quantum simulation, quantum metrology and laboratory tests of quantum mechanics and relativity. All of the basic requirements for processing quantum information with arrays of ion-based quantum bits (qubits) have been proven in principle. However, so far, no more than 14 ion-based qubits have been entangled with the ion-trap approach, so there is a clear need for arrays of ion traps that can handle a much larger number of qubits. Traps consisting of a two-dimensional electrode array11 have undergone significant development, but three-dimensional trap geometries can create a superior confining potential. However, existing three-dimensional approaches, as used in the most advanced experiments with trap arrays cannot be scaled up to handle greatly increased numbers of ions. Here, we report a monolithic three-dimensional ion microtrap array etched from a silica-on-silicon wafer using conventional semiconductor fabrication technology. We have confined individual 88Sr+ ions and strings of up to 14 ions in a single segment of the array. We have measured motional frequencies, ion heating rates and storage times. Our results demonstrate that it should be possible to handle several tens of ion-based qubits with this approach
Concept of the monolithic microtrap array. a, Schematic showing a silicon substrate supporting silica layers on the front and back sides of the trap chip. Both the silica and the silicon are etched to create a clear aperture and the three-dimensional linear trap structure.
Using a novel process based on conventional semiconductor fabrication technology, scientists developed the microtrap device from a silica-on-silicon wafer. The team were able to confine individual and strings of up to 14 ions in a single segment of the array. The fabrication process should enable device scaling to handle greatly increased numbers of ions, whilst retaining the ability to individually control each of them.
Due to the enormous progress in nanotechnology, the power of classical processor chips has been scaled up according to Moore's Law. Quantum processors are in their infancy, and the NPL device is a promising approach for advancing the scale of such chips for ion-based qubits.
Alastair Sinclair, Principal Scientist, NPL said:
"We managed to produce an essential device or tool, which is critical for state-of-the-art research and development in quantum technologies. This could be the basis of a future atomic clock device, with relevance for location, timing, navigation services or even the basis of a future quantum processor chip based on trapped ions, leading to a quantum computer and a quantum information network."

Eye Drops.
To treat my case of eye snot, Doctor Doctor prescribed eye drops, which have to be put in my eyes at regular intervals several times per day. Eye drops? No big deal, right?
Maybe it's no big deal for most peeps, but I am a big baby when it comes to putting eye drops into my eyes. In fact, I get freaky when anyone puts anything near my eyes, which is why I cannot even comfortably think about wearing contact lenses, much less actually wear them.
"Yo, Jimbo. Here are two foreign objects. Just plaster one of them on each of your eyeballs and rock on."
No farookin' way!
I also get the heebie jeebies every time I see women applying eye liner by sticking a pencil point right next to her eyeballs. A farookin' pencil in the eye!!! Yeef!
Anyway, back to eye drops.
Being the big baby that I am, I typically ask Mrs. Parkway to put the drops in my eyes ("You have to OPEN your damned eye, Jim!"), but given the frequency of application, I am largely left to my own devices this time around.
At first, I tried putting the drops in while standing in front of the bathroom mirror and pulling the skin around the bottom of my eyes down (the ophthalmologist does it this way). No dice. I ended up with eye drops everywhere but in my eyes, including on my shirt. It immediately became very clear that tipping one's head back was a requisite for any chance I might have in getting that stuff into my eyes. I tried the stand-up, head-tilted-back technique, which resulted in some improvement, meaning that it might take four drops to get one drop in my eye.
Turns out that the only way I can get the damned drops into my eyes with something resembling accuracy is to sit in my office chair (at work or at home) and tilt the seat all the way back (almost as if I were in a modern dentist's chair). Then, bracing my hand against my cheekbone, I put the cursed tip of the little bottle as close to my open eye as I can stand it, reminding myself not to blink. I'm certain that if I touch my eye with the damned thing I'll pass right the hell out, which is another good reason to be in a chair.
That technique, which is doubtless comical to watch, has me batting above 500, but I still manage to blink when I shouldn't, leading to drops landing on my eyelid and down my face.
I still have three more days of this to go. Fortunately, Doctor Doctor prescribed enough of the stuff to permit me to dispense mass quantities of the medicine seemingly everywhere except to my eye balls.
Yep. Definitely a big baby when it comes to eye drops.
Truth is, it's not just eyes and eye drops about which I am a big baby, but we won't be discussing the time many, many years ago when a doctor prescribed suppositories.

When the wind blows in from Siberia it's easy to throw style out the window and bundle yourself up like some latter-day babushka. But is it possible to look cool and keep warm when the temperature drops below freezing? Consider the following advice from our friends in the (very far) north.
"Only in Russia can you see women casually strolling on the ice-covered streets wearing a pair of stiletto heels," says Moscow-based designer Ulyana Sergeenko. "Even on the coldest days women here strive to look beautiful and glamorous. I love that Russian women always want to look their best. I believe a woman should look beautiful and graceful, no matter what."
Sergeenko's hard-line approach to sub-zero style is something she applies to her own winter wardrobe. "It's not only about fur. There's a whole range of amazing and beautiful things you can only wear in winter – muffs, angora shawls, funny woollen mittens and gaiters, beautifully embroidered coats, heavy capes, bright puffer jackets and valenkí – really warm, comfortable boots made from dense felted wool. It's a very traditional Russian thing. When it's freezing cold for months and keeping yourself warm is your highest priority, you really have to be creative to avoid being stuck with the same combination of clothes every day."
You can match Sergeenko's eclectic cold weather style with Brora's embroidered shawls (£109) and folk-patterned cashmere gloves (£45); bright puffer jackets (£59.90) from Uniqlo and wool cape-coats (£299) by Somerset by Alice Temperley at John Lewis.
Olga Dunina, fashion director at Vogue Russia, has a more forgiving approach. "This winter I'm wearing a Chanel parka and Marc Jacobs lace-up combat boots with chunky knit socks. Or alternatively an Acne oversized sheepskin biker jacket with chunky knits from Stella McCartney and wool ribbed tights. It's all about layering, most often with a chunky scarf I can use like a hood, and cashmere underwear from my favourite Russian cashmere designer, Tegin."
As for men, Igor Garanin, fashion director of GQ Russia, says: "It's all about layers and enormous scarves. Looking smart is the best way to keep warm with cashmere shirts and ties. This winter I really love the thick cashmere cardigans from Ballantyne, double-breasted coats by Dries Van Noten and scarves from Faliero Sarti."
Danish-born designer Peter Jensen, who swapped the freezing winters of his homeland for a different kind of cool in London's East End, says: "I always start wearing two pairs of socks from the end of October – a normal pair and a pair of thick knitted ones. My mother still knits them for me. It is the only thing she can be bothered to knit now."
And when he goes home? "I really like Sunspel's thermal underwear and their cashmere scarves and gloves. I also have a great Junya Watanabe for Gloverall duffel coat with a zip-in padded lining. I wear my own label hats in lambswool. But my favourite cold weather essential is a heart-shaped hand-warmer. You just click it and it heats up. It makes you feel like you can go Christmas shopping for hours."

Philip Goes Forth
Philip Goes Forth tells the story of a young man who rebels against his father and a career in the family business. He leaves home and ventures to New York to write plays without his father's support or blessing, but with this warning: "Don't imagine, whenever you get tired floating around up there in the clouds that you can drop right back into your place down here -- that isn't the way things go!" George Kelly's comedy made its debut at Broadway's Biltmore Theater in January of 1931. New York was the city of dreams -- and Kelly's humorous examination of one young dreamer remains an exquisite portrait of coming-of-age in modern America.

Everyone's been saying how sexy this month's Fashion Weeks have been, with a return to underwear as outerwear, sexy 50s-style big pants a-go-go and most prominently, suspenders just about everywhere. As seems to always be the case with trends, Prada is responsible.
The Italian fashion powerhouse showed leather waders last season and, predictably, this season everyone else copied with a watered down take on the trend: suspenders. At Paris fashion week Lily Allen, Rihanna and Katy Perry all wore a take on the look, with Riri in leather garter boots, Lily in trompe l'oeil tights and Katy Perry… well, she just showed off her underwear.
£10, MyTights.com
Henry Holland's suspender-print tights have driven the fashion world crazy. Partly because everyone I know that's ordered them have had a nightmare getting them in the post, but mostly because they're really freaking cool. Celebs have been wearing 'em, models have had them and you, yes you, mere mortals can get in on the action for a bargainous tenner.
$20, Urban Outfitters
The easiest way to deal with the fash-pack obsession with stockings? Wear a t-shirt with a picture of someone else wearing them. It's the route I'm planning on taking. Pin-up girl artwork has undergone an insane resurgence of late and this t-shirt is one of many, many that I'm sure you'll be able to track down.
£65, What Katie Did
Confession: I had no idea what a corselette was until about 30 seconds ago. Now I do and I'm glad, because they're hot. This racy leopard-print number is probably the most stylish way to wear stockings, although I do have to question how hard it would be to go to the bathroom in…
£18, Agent Provocateur
In my experience, hold-ups never hold up, but maybe that's because I'm not wearing AP's super sexy socks. I'm sure they couldn't flog them for £18 if they rolled down and bunched up at your ankles like all the other hold-ups I've ever worn. These stockings have been spotted on hosiery fan Lily Allen in blue, but I reckon pink is a bit more wearable.
$45, BeautifulReign @ Etsy
Vintage underwear is one thing, but you should be safe with these vintage garters. The seller says that they date from the 20s and while we have no evidence of that fact, they certainly look that way with the pearls and rhinestones. They're almost too sexy to wear, but as with all of these items, I guess practicality isn't the most important thing.
£32, Wolford
Austrian hosiery brand Wolford are the daddies of legwear. There's pretty much nothing they've not done and their designer campaigns are legendary. True fact: when I was temping I worked for them for one day and have never felt more ashamed of black opaque M&S tights in my life. This bow-print is another play on the trompe l'oeil stocking/suspender look, but I reckon these are my fave for the sheer opulence.
Stockings/suspenders are nowhere near as tricky to wear as most women think. You just need a decent pair of stockings and a suspender belt that's more than a couple of scraps of lace (see the What Katie Did website for perfect examples). However, I am the unofficial Queen of Hold-Ups and can say that Boots' Shine & Sheer hold-ups are the best as they stay in place all day and never roll down, even on my less than slender thighs! Much more sexy than tights (although those Wolford ones are pretty damn hot)!

Wacky locavore fun: Barn Aid 2012 and Le Tour de Farms
It's time again for Marie Tedei's Barn Aid fete, which includes a bike tour of community gardens and urban farms, a chefs challenge vegetarian dinner with three chefs committed to local sourcing, and a free showing of Urban Roots, if you decide to skip the tour and dinner.
Le Tour de Farms starts Sunday at the Lake Highlands Community Garden and ends at Tedei's Eden's Organic Garden Center in Balch Springs. The 32-mile ride has plenty of stops and shouldn't be too difficult, but there's a sag wagon if anyone can't complete it. At each stop, riders purchase items to donate to the big pot luck – a dinner cooked ad hoc with whatever riders bring by chefs Graham Dodds (Central 214), Mark Wootton (Garden Cafe) and Chad Houser (Cafe Momentum).
If you don't want to ride, you can drive the route. Bikers have to start by 2 p.m. If you just want to come to the dinner, show up at Eden's around 5 p.m. which gives you time to pick your dinner from the garden, tour the grounds and enjoy other activities. Dinner is roughly scheduled for 6 p.m.
At dinner, you'll learn all about the beneficiary of the event: the gardening program at the Youth Village Resources of Dallas, which works with young offenders. As Le Tour flyer explains, "Having this garden that helps feed them through their cafeteria and the awesome Cafe Momentum program is great experience for these young men…." The Cafe Momentum benefit dinners – to build a bricks-and-mortar training restaurant – draw some of the best chefs in town.
Put another way, a cohort of chefs and other foodies have taken it upon themselves to develop the gardening and food service program at the youth village, and this year's Barn Aid event helps them out. The ride and dinner is $65. Dinner only is $50. After dinner, the showing of Urban Roots is free.
Here's the Barn Aid site (purchase tickets through PayPal). Early registration ends Wednesday, and you have to have a ticket for the ride/dinner/drive. For more information, call 214-348-3336.

Koch-Funded Scientist Admits Climate Change is Real
Wait, what? Yes, you read it right: another scientist -- and one funded by the Koch brothers, no less -- has admitted that climate change is real and caused by humans.
I can't say it any better than climate scientist Michael Mann, creater of the infamous hockey-stick graph. The article in the Christian Science Monitor quotes him as writing on his Facebook wall:
"There is a certain ironic satisfaction in seeing a study funded by the Koch Brothers -- the greatest funders of climate change denial and disinformation on the planet -- demonstrate what scientists have known with some degree of confidence for nearly two decades: that the globe is indeed warming, and that this warming can only be explained by human-caused increases in greenhouse gas concentrations. I applaud Muller and his colleagues for acting as any good scientists would, following where their analyses led them, without regard for the possible political repurcussions."
Emphasis mine.

Going through the 2005 D&AD Annual the other day, I found this Tesco ad.
Remarkable to think that, only a couple of years ago, Tesco were boasting their peas are flown in from Guatemala.
Going back further, check out these hilarious Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974 (via Rachel L).
This one depicts that delicious snack, frozen coffee.
There's no doubting it.

What an excellent observation! Added irony comes from today's news story about Tesco petrol wrecking engines too.
Every Wednesday there's a market in my home town. One of the farmers brings his food in by horse and cart and gives out free manure to customers who spend more than a tenner.
That's the future. - 12:28 AM

michael, we've gone carbon emission mad in the UK. Global warming is the new political correctness. Politicians and the royal family are lambasted for "wasteful" jet travel, 4x4 cars are spanked for gushing out co2 (although I doubt modern ones are any worse than saloons), etc etc.
I can't think of a single event that triggered it, but we've gone bonkers over it. - 12:17 AM

Obamacare: Kill or cure?
OK, it took a long cup of coffee but we did it - the Register's three editorial writers read the House version of the health care proposals under consideration. Each of us reviewed one-third of the 1,018-page bill and our analysis turned up a number of policy changes that have received limited coverage: A new, broader role for the IRS; significant expansion of Medicare, even as that program is supposed to be a source of funding; and many policy details still to be written by a post called "Health Choices Commissioner."
Letter-writers answered our callto read the proposal, too. We selected the best of them, and they are available for your comment.
It's no surprise that our small "l" libertarian editorial group would favor market solutions [see specifics at ocregister.com/opinion and Alan Bock columns], but the proposed extent of government control is, as Steven Greenhut put it, "a nightmare."
Steve wrote: "All major legislation is mind-numbingly complex and open to interpretation and legal disputes. That's to be expected, and perhaps explains why the legislators who vote on these bills rarely have read them in their entirety (they rely on staff reports produced by their party caucus) or have any serious grasp of what's inside them. No one understands how any of this will eventually play out, which is why supporters of the House Democratic health bill try to stick to broad feel-good generalities, and opponents try to seize on issues such as "death panels" and hypothesize about what might happen once various lingo becomes the law of the land.
"I didn't find any specific nightmare language, although the whole thing is a nightmare. It reminded me about why central planning never works. Planners cannot possibly have the wisdom and knowledge necessary to manage something as important as the nation's health care system. More regulation and rules - which is what this House bill is about - will only gum up the system and reduce individual choices.
"There are only two choices for dealing with scare resources: pricing or rationing. Pricing simply means that prices rise and fall based on supply and demand. If prices can't do that, we end up with bureaucrats limiting care."
The first 340 pages:
Mark Landsbaum
Many Americans may assume this so-called "reform" health care bill is mainly stuffed with provisions to affordably care for their health. Not quite.
There are at least 48 pages specifically devoted to a new relationship for Americans with the IRS. Yes. The tax man. Starting at Title IV on page 167, we find page after page of "amendments to Internal Revenue Code of 1986."
"Why?" you might ask. Silly question. The government has no money to keep you healthy and cared for. So, it must first take money from you.
We suspect some people may suddenly get religion after discovering section (5)'s "Religious Conscience Exemption" to subsection (a)'s tax on individuals who don't want to opt in to what the government will determine to be "acceptable health care coverage."
There are a few other special exemptions from the "shared responsibility" tax for special people who don't sign up for the otherwise mandatory government-preferred coverage: those visiting the country. Or people who sneak into the country. Otherwise, you're pretty much either on the hook for the mandatory coverage, or get to do more business with the IRS, starting with a 2.5 percent tax on your personal income.
Someone counted the number of times the word "penalty"is used in this legislation. It's 156, or about once every six and a half pages. Clearly, the people who claim to have your best health in mind have thought of ways to encourageyou to go along.
"But how," you might ask, "can government force compliance?" Another silly question, it turns out. The word "tax"is mentioned 172 times. Some folks may squirm a bit once they see the provision to "enable electronic funds transfers, in order to allow automated reconciliation with the related health care payment and remittance advice."
"Penalty." "Electronic funds transfers." "Automatic." "Internal Revenue Service." Those aren't words that inspire confidence when used in combination.
As Cornell law professor William Jacobson observed, the IRS would assume a key role monitoring and enforcing health care mandates by cross-checking individuals' income tax returns with their health coverage filings, an American first.
At times it's a bit difficult to remember these 1,018 pages are simply to "provide affordable, quality health care … and reduce the growth in health care spending." Perhaps that's because those are things more properly done by health care buyers and sellers, not the government.
That brings us to another of our least-favorite sections of the House legislation. Ultimate authority and decision-making power rests with the government, more precisely with the newest of Washington, D.C.'s czars, referred to somewhat ominously as "the Health Choices Commissioner."
The bill says it is "the Commissioner" who determines "applicable rules of the Commissioner," "as specified by the Commissioner." "The Commissioner shall establish a grace period," and "other benefits as the Commissioner may specify," "within such age categories as the Commissioner shall specify."
The middle section:
Alan W. Bock
President Barack Obama - who still hasn't produced or endorsed a specific health care restructuring bill - often speaks about "paying for" expanded health insurance coverage by finding savings in the Medicare program - with some estimates ranging up to $500 billion over 10 years. This has some older Americans feeling uncertain or even up in arms.
However, much of the middle section of the bill passed by the House Energy and Commerce Committee has to do not with finding savings in Medicare but with expanding the program. It's not easy to reconcile what seems to have been a long pent-up desire on the part of House Democrats to expand Medicare - bestowing government benefits almost always garners more votes than taking them away - with the promise to find savings. No doubt there are savings to be found - some estimate fraud rates of 10 percent to 15 percent - but this section of the bill goes in the opposite direction.
Sec. 1181, on p. 355, for example seeks elimination of the "coverage gap": "For each year beginning with 2011, the Secretary shall … increase the initial coverage limit and decrease the annual out-of-pocket threshold from the amounts otherwise computed until there is a continuation of coverage from the initial coverage limit for expenditures incurred through the total amount of expenditures at which benefits are available."
In Sec. 1191 Telehealth services to rural areas are "expanded and enhanced."
In Sec. 1201 more financial assistance for low-income Medicare beneficiaries is provided. In Sec. 1202 cost-sharing for certain noninstitutionalized full-benefit, dual-eligible individuals is eliminated.
Sec. 1301 sets up a pilot program for "accountable care organizations" in 17 micromanaging pages. Sec. 1302 sets up a pilot program for reimbursing medical home services. This comes with a price tag of $200 million per year through 2014 and $125 million thereafter (sure).
Licensed family and marriage therapists and mental health counselors would be covered.
It takes more than 20 pages to set up a Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research, another controversial idea. But the legislation specifies that the center won't be able to mandate or deny coverage based on its result.
It takes 40 pages of new regulations and tons of required reports to improve transparency of information on skilled-nursing facilities.
You get the idea. There may be projected savings in Medicare and Medicaid somewhere in the bill, but the middle section mostly expands coverage and increases spending.
Back of the bill:
Steven Greenhut
I warned my Mom, an Obama supporter, that her planned knee-replacement probably wouldn't get approved in a bureaucratically controlled medical system, given that older people will be told that they don't need such operations when the costs are borne by "society." In a market system (our current system is a hybrid, with too much government control), you can get more of what you need.
This type of legislation is taking us toward more government control - that's clear from reading it. Here are some specifics.
The first section I read creates enhanced penalties for health care companies involved in the federal program that engage in fraud and abuse. The secretary may revoke the certification of a firm that makes false statements or submits a false claim, for instance. Of course, this is necessary in any federally funded program, but no matter how many inspectors or fraud investigators are dispatched, there's always lots of fraud. Officials believe if they create some anti-fraud department that they can magically make fraud go away; hence, politicians always look for savings in programs by cutting fraud. But the real problem is the federal funding itself - a pile of Other People's Money will never be spent as carefully as our individual money, and such piles bring out the hucksters.
The legislation offers additional student-loan funds for nurses- of particular interest to me given that I have a daughter in nursing school. The nursing situation in California is a testament to how terribly the government has messed up. In a nutshell, the state has enormous demand for nurses, exacerbated by a nurse/patient ratio law pushed by the unions. Meanwhile, the state has set up various impediments for people to attend nursing school (a lottery system in state schools, for instance). The result: nursing shortages and shutdowns of emergency rooms that can't recruit the right number of nurses. If the government wants to fix the nursing situation, it will take the deregulation of the system rather than an increase in loan funds.
If you believe that Congress and the Obama administration can fix American health care, forward me your e-mail, and I will put you in contact with a Nigerian man I've heard from who has an extra few million dollars he is trying to give away!

Chantecaille Fruit and Flower Acids Mask Reviews
Fresh, but be careful if sensitive
I bought this mask after trying a sample. It was quite pricey, but I liked the results of the sample so I had to have it. Be careful not to get it in your eyes (or near them) as it will sting. I used this product to give my skin a bit of brightening after a long summer. My product specialist knows I have sensitive skin, so she recommended I use it for only a minute at first. That was good advic...read moree, as I started to feel a bit of a sting immediately upon the first application. It wasn't bad, though. I waited the full minute, then removed it. I expected my skin to be red and inflamed, but it just looked fresh. I use the product about every two weeks now, and I can last three minutes. It has never caused a breakout. As I mentioned, it is pricey, but no other product has worked as well. The jar will last a long time, but the price is why it gets a 9. — 6 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

The apartment owned by Maria Latore, located in the Saint Mark's district of Portland Island, Liberty City, is a location in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
By 1998, Maria moves into her apartment due to her strained relationship with her husband, Leone crime family Don Salvatore Leone. Throughout the first half of Liberty City Stories, Toni frequently visits Maria's apartment, from which he is given missions by her.
It is unclear if by the events of Grand Theft Auto III, circa 2001, the apartment is still in use by Maria.

When I opened this month's magazine I was feeling very clutter militant after a week of chucking stuff out.
There was the usual leaflet clutter within the pages....
As the song says, "Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street" - so I always try to walk on the sunny side!
I also get a lot of advertising inserts in a magazine to which I subscribe. Looking on the positive side though, it's much better to be able to tip all those annoying leaflets straight into our recycling box than have to have a magazine which has pages and pages of adverts with little content. :)
We're nearly finished with a big de-clutter prior to putting our flat up for sale. As I get older, especially as regards keepsakes, photos, letters, etc. I ask myself, "Do I really want my children to have to decide what to do with this?" Very often the answer is still yes, but I hope to have the opportunity to look at things with them and then let go!

SOA Reference Model 1.0 Approved as OASIS Standard
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
According to the SOA Reference Model document itself, a reference model is an abstract framework for understanding significant relationships among the entities of some environment. It enables the development of specific reference or concrete architectures using consistent standards or specifications supporting that environment. A reference model consists of a minimal set of unifying concepts, axioms and relationships within a particular problem domain, and is independent of specific standards, technologies, implementations, or other concrete details.
The reference model defines SOA as:
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains.
Now SOA has a standardized reference model, thanks to the work of OASIS SOA-RM technical committee. According to an email sent to the OASIS Reference Model Technical Committee, Duane Nickull, chair of the TC notified the group's status on the standardization vote as follows:
The Ballot to advance the Reference Model for SOA to become a full OASIS Standard received 89 positive votes, the second highest number of positive votes anyone on the TC can recall being cast to support a standard. The single no vote came from Avaya Inc. The sole statement provided by a representative from that company was:
"Too vague and confusing, e.g. things which are not SOA can be mapped into this and claim they conform to this SOA model."
Despite this sole dissenting vote, the techical committee, after approaching Avaya with a formal letter and expressing an interest to resolve any issues with the spec, the Technical Committee decided to move ahead according to the OASIS rules and move to a standard with a final tally of 89 organizations supporting, one against.
The Reference Model can be downloaded here:

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains.I find this definition surprising as I've never heard SOA described in this manner anywhere else. No mention of loose coupling, no mention of standard protocols, etc. I'm curious why this definition is the way it is.

Iron Hawk and Friendship 14 involved U.S. Army forces from the 42nd CAB, New York Army National Guard, and 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, and Saudi Arabian ground and aviation forces. Over weeks of practice the two militaries focused on improving their joint operating capabilities, integrating infantry, armor, and aviation assets from both countries in the final event on April 13, 2014. The 42nd CAB, composed of National Guardsmen from New York, Michigan, Delaware, Indiana, and Kentucky, and soldiers from 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas, is currently deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and conducts joint partnerships and exchanges with nations from across the region.

I have been a patient of Jack Taylor's for more than 14 years at Pittsburgh Healthworx and I am certain the allegations against Mr. Taylor are not based in fact ("3 Charged with Illegal Prescriptions in Rostraver," Jan. 18). The scene at the magistrate's office on Jan. 17 seemed to be a dog-and-pony show orchestrated by the commonwealth to be a media event.
When a patient came to the facility, the care plan was detailed to him or her prior to being seen by a chiropractor or a medical doctor. The plan detailed that there would be chiropractic exams and treatments (after X-rays) to treat/correct the problem that was causing pain, with the ultimate goal of the patient not needing pain medication any longer.
There were patients who did not want to comply with the treatment plan and only wanted to see the M.D. for pills, but those patients were not patients at Healthworx for very long before being removed from the clinic. Pittsburgh Healthworx was never a pill mill, as alleged by the state attorney general's office.
As far as Mr. Taylor coming back to work full time while on disability after his terrible motorcycle accident, that did not happen either. After being unable to come in for about a year, he came in for an hour or so once or twice a week to treat his 12 most-seriously injured patients. I know because I was one of those 12.
Mr. Taylor is a very dedicated, gifted and caring health care provider, and he has never been anything else. There are many of us who enjoy an improved lifestyle and improved health overall due to his skilled chiropractic care/treatment and his loving and caring nature.

Chapter" (notes edited by David Page) |
notes on the text |
a little, brown, thin, almost skinny, woman, with big, rolling, violet-blue eyes, and the sweetest manners in the world. You had only to mention her name at afternoon teas for every woman in the room to rise up and call her not blessed. She was clever, witty, brilliant, and sparkling beyond most of her kind; but possessed of many devils of malice and mischievousness. She could be nice, though, even to her own sex.She is thought to have been based on Isabella Burton, described by Andrew Lycett in his Rudyard Kipling, as "the fiery Irish-born wife of an intelligence officer attached to the Ist Bengal Lancers, better known as Skinners Horse...a petite woman with a darting, original intelligence."
There was nothing good about Mrs. Reiver, unless it was her dress. She was bad from her hair—which started life on a Brittany girl's head—to her boot-heels, which were two and three-eighth inches high. She was not honestly mischievous like Mrs. Hauksbee; she was wicked in a businesslike way. There was never any scandal—she had not generous impulses enough for that. She was the exception which proved the rule that Anglo-Indian ladies are in every way as nice as their sisters at Home. She spent her life in proving that rule.Mrs Mallowe is the 'one bosom friend' of Mrs Hauksbee – she is of a comfortable if indolent nature, distinctly fond of chocolates, and of her fox-terrier Tim, an easygoing person, and, unlike Mrs Hauksbee, inclined to think the best of everyone.

Gio happy to check off first big league hit
Nats left-hander singles off Latos to help start fifth-inning rally
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
The hit occurred in the fifth inning when, with one out, Gonzalez swung at a Mat Latos pitch and singled to left. He could be seen smiling after reaching first base, while getting a loud ovation from the sellout crowd of 40,907.
"Big smile, big smile," Gonzalez said. "If you are not smiling, you have no blood. Latos is a great pitcher. I was trying to make contact. I was fortunate enough to put wood on it, and I got something going."
The hit helped ignite a Washington rally, with Adam LaRoche later plating two runs with a single to help the Nationals build an early lead.
This past offseason, Gonzalez spent a lot of time working in the batting cage with his father, Max, who told his son to put the ball in play; don't try to be like a power hitter. It looks like the tutelage from his dad has paid off.
"I'm trying to show up and put the ball in play," Gonzalez said. "I've been fortunate enough to get some ABs, instead of going out and bunting the ball. Again, it's one of those things, I just put the ball in play as much as possible. I had one of the players say, 'The more you put it into play, the [better the] chances it gets [to be a hit].
"I'm not going to say I'm a great hitter. I'm not going to put it out there like that. My job is to put it in play. If it came to bunting, I'll be a better bunter than a hitter. I'm grateful to get the first one out of the way."
