Marshall Schminke, Ph.D., speaks about ethical work cultures at the Dean's Speaker Series, held in Downtown Orlando.
Whether in the classroom, or delivering a talk at the Dean's Speaker Series, faculty members are engaged in the latest research and program development to bring the next generation of business leaders to market. In addition, UCF alumni are leading businesses and charting new courses for businesses worldwide.
The CBA provides access to provocative thought leaders:
Students and the business community benefit from the thought leaders associated with the UCF College of Business Administration. More than 140 faculty members provide leadership in the classroom and industry with research and academic support. In addition, the college has more than 70,000 graduates that are working throughout the world, many of whom lead major organizations, or are building their own unique business. Our faculty, staff and alumni contribute to a wonderful tapestry of thought leadership and leading authorities in all aspects of business.
In 2014, the college launched the Dean's Speaker Series as a way to introduce many of our thought leaders to the business community. Some of the topics and faculty members include:
Organizational Hypocrisy
Robin Roberts, Ph.D., Pegasus Professor in the School of Accounting, gave business leaders an inside look at how the demands of conflicting stakeholders impact the ability for companies to be consistent in what they say and the importance of an organization's messaging being internally consistent.
Why Fairness Matters
Maureen Ambrose, Ph.D., from the Department of Management, discussed the impact of fairness on employees, customers and profitability. Her research is contributing to how company leaders better manage the expectations and rewards offered to employees and how to best manage resources to build a stronger culture.
Developing an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Cameron Ford, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Management, discussed his work directing the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and Blackstone LaunchPad. Dr. Ford is on the forefront of creating a framework where students throughout the university can engage in programs and activities to develop the skills and abilities of an entrepreneur, take control of their career and better manage the most important things in life.
Economic Outlook
Sean Snaith, Ph.D., director of the Institute for Economic Competitiveness, gave an overview of the national and local economic outlook for the year ahead. His work is instrumental in helping develop the economic development initiatives for Central Florida. His presentation is in heavy demand throughout the year as he is a frequent contributor to business media outlets and publications nationwide.
The Big Data Economy
Amit Joshi, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Marketing, discussed the use of data analytics for better business decision-making. His program provides business leaders with the fundamental building blocks of how to source, sort and use the avalanche of information to help sharpen the business plan and make better decisions.
Protecting Your Brand in the Social Media Economy
Carolyn Massiah, Ph.D., lecturer in the Department of Marketing, provided insights into how to improve social media marketing communication. Through the information she provided, business, government and community leaders gained insight into the impact social media has on stakeholder's decisions and how to best address these issue in the structure of marketing and communications.

Chapter Eighteen Summary
Chapter Eighteen begins with Eve looking at the candles around the salted revival ground. She talks to Spiro and he and his men are as close as they can get and not be seen. Dom calls and tells Eve to meet him in ten minutes at the candles. He allows Jane to speak to Eve. Eve calls Sarah and tells her that Dom is ten minutes away from the candles.
Sarah puts on her belt that told Monty that they were working. Sarah gave Monty a whiff of Jane's tee-shirt and ordered Monty to find. Monty was moving fast from the word go. Monty was thinking Child.
Eve got out of her car and headed up the hill to the circle of light. She got there and Dom was not there in sight. She turned and saw shadows. She spoke but...

2010-10-16: Handmade Wardrobe: Introduction
In which I attempt to do battle with my sewing demons.
Sewing and I are not friends. We are nervous allies that occasionally nearly come to blows. My mom taught me the basics of sewing and using a sewing machine many years ago, after which I proceeded to remain fairly neurotic about actually sewing real things for myself.
This mainly is because sewing requires attention to detail, patience, and dilligence. These are things that I suck at, in general.
But my mom spent a lot of hours sewing clothes for me when I was growing up, and I always appreciated having handmande clothes. I could pick out any pattern I wanted, and any material, and show up at school wearing something totally unique. (For which I would get mercilessly teased, but that never deterred me, since I got mercilessly teased about other things anyway.)
Clothes shopping and I have an even worse relationship. Shopping I associate with people everywhere, usually directly blocking where I want to go. I associate it with shops where I feel embarrassed and unwelcome and not cool enough to be a customer. I associate it with trying to find something I like and completely failing, because it either doesn't exist or is two sizes to small for me. Shopping I associate with finally bringing home something I like, for a reasonable price, and having it fall apart on me six months later because it was poorly made.
I finally got to the point where I pretty much have decided to pick sewing over clothes shopping. My eventual goal is to have the majority of my wardrobe handmade either by myself or someone else (with likely exceptions for specialised clothing like sailing gear, and I have no idea how I'd tackle shoes).
So it was synchronicity that I spotted this great guest post over on Whip Up by a woman who had pretty much already done the same thing not only for herself, but for her entire family as well! What a great piece of inspiration to rally me onward.
My primary tool thus far into my sewing foray has been the very approachable Sew U by Wendy Mullin. Even though I know how to sew hems and seems, this book has really broken down garment construction into clear, digestible steps and has provided several useful tips for me that have made my first steps a bit less painful (although there have still been tantraums). I have already made a skirt from the basic pattern & instructions in this book, and am starting on a shirt.
My job has unfortunately been taking up a lot of spare energy and time this year, but I hope that things will slow down after the holidays arrive, at which time I'll be able to really swing into full gear with my new obsession. And hopefully be able to blog about it with photos, too.
As for my old obsessions, handknits and crocheted items are very much on the list to be part of my future wardrobe, so those skills should not end up too atrophied either.
So, sewing, what do you say? Shall we have a go?
Awesome! I got a sewing machine as a gift last Christmas and I haven't used it once yet. Can't wait to see what you make :)
Reecie firstname.lastname@example.com 17 Oct 2010
Thanks, Reecie! My beginner clothes are a little on the boring side, but I'm still pleased with them. I'll try and get a photo of the skirt posted up soon.

When Jay Cutler went down with a thumb injury, everybody from the NFL players to the analysts to the fans knew that the Bears were going to have to rely more on their run game with Caleb Hanie taking snaps for the offense. Even the cheerleaders and the beer vendors could have predicted that.
With that prevalent knowledge, it was pleasing to see the Bears have success moving the ball on the ground considering Matt Forte had struggled in the two previous games prior to the battle with the Raiders.
Despite their early struggles on Sunday, the Bears finished with 122 rushing yards, minus Hanie's 50 yards of scrambling. The Bears used a two-back attack with Marion Barber leading the way with 63 yards on 10 carries and Forte right behind him with 59 yards on 12 carries. Both had solid yards-per-carry averages and each broke off a long run of more than 20 yards.
It is this kind of one-two punch from the running game that just might help the Bears sustain momentum until — or if — Jay Cutler returns to help the passing game. But in the meantime, Hanie will still need to aid the run game by completing some passes.
Field position was the Achilles heel for Bears offense
Hanie made his fair share of mistakes — like three interceptions — and poor decisions, but he didn't receive a lot of help from his special teams.
The Raiders special teams, led by Pro Bowl-caliber specialists, pinned the Bears deep in their own end of the field all afternoon. On the opening kickoff of the game, for instance, a holding penalty by Craig Steltz forced Hanie to begin his first NFL start from inside the Bears' 20-yard line. The Bears would begin nine more drives at or inside their own 20 the rest of the game, including two from inside the 4-yard line.
Moving forward, the Bears should be at an advantage on special teams and will undoubtedly help the offense by cutting down the length of field they'll have to travel to get points.
Shaky call by Martz, but worse awareness by Hanie
Offensive coordinator Mike Martz is under heavy criticism again by the local media and fans for calling a screen pass at the end of the first half that was intercepted and returned 73 yards the other way. The play wound up killing a drive that could have led to Bears points and gave the Raiders a field goal instead.
Was the call questionable? Sure it was. The Bears were running the ball effectively and had a second down with one yard to go inside the Raiders' 10-yard line. But to modify an old expression: if you lead a horse to poisoned water, it's his own fault for taking a drink.
In other words, it's Hanie's own fault for showing bad awareness on the play and throwing the pass in the first place. Just because he was in his first career start, he's not getting leniency from me for not recognizing where the linebacker was.
Defense will need some help moving forward
As most of us expected, the defense stepped up with an inspired effort against the Raiders and wound up caving at the end due to an excessive workload.
Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski set a franchise record for most field goals made with six because the Bears defense did such a good job clamping down on the Raiders offense and not letting them get the ball in the end zone … until late in the game.
Because the Bears offense struggled to get things going and were impacted by poor field position all game, the defense was left on the field far too long and Tim Jennings wound up giving up the play of the game on a third down conversion that led to the Raiders' only touchdown.
The offense and special teams can do the defense a favor by converting some more first downs and winning the field position battle in the games to come.
Lance Louis avoided a "loaf" for hustling down INT return
When the Bears watch game film, the defensive coaches assign grades to each defender and award what is called a "loaf" to those defenders who do not finish a play strong.
Such instances that are assigned loafs include, but are not limited to, passing up on a hit, being passed by a teammate on the field, staying on the ground, and not getting off a block.
You can bet Lance Louis won't be credited with a loaf — at least on one play — when the team reviews game film. In fact, his effort will be shown to teammates and will be used as an example for quite some time to come.
On the interception return by the Raiders at the end of the first half, Louis — all 320 pound of him — chased down Raiders linebacker Kamerion Wimbley and saved a touchdown by dragging him down by the jersey, which wound up wrongly being penalized as a horse collar tackle.
It was a huge, game-altering play by Louis and it not only shows his athleticism as a former tight end, but also his determination and effort.

Maurice Levy intends to waive his 2012 salary as chairman-CEO of Publicis Groupe , due to a substantial deferred compensation payment he'll collect next year, he told French newspaper Le Monde. That payment, based on the group's performance from 2003 through the end of 2011, was designed as golden handcuffs to ensure Mr. Levy remained at the helm of the agency group he has run since 1988, although no one who knows him could imagine Mr. Levy ever leaving for a rival group. (The base salary Mr. Levy is waiving was $1.2 million in 2010, according to a regulatory filing; he would still collect a variable compensation payment; this was $3.6 million in 2010. The deferred compensation due in 2012 is an additional payment)
The salary waiver is in keeping with the open letter Mr. Levy and other wealthy French execs signed in August urging other rich folks to help President Nicolas Sarkozy patch gaping holes in the country's budget by paying extra taxes.
Mr. Levy, 69, was originally scheduled to retire at the end of this year, but was persuaded to stay on until a successor is found. He also heads the five-person Publicis management board, which last week was given a new four-year mandate.
In a keynote at this week's MAD World Mobile Advertising conference in London, Mr. Levy discussed reaching consumers on their phones, with a few personal asides about his frustrated wife tossing his BlackBerry into a swimming pool last summer, and his own opinion of mobile invasion of privacy that he calls "almost rape," in an apparent reference to the U.K.'s ongoing phone-hacking scandal. (For some personal insights into his rival Martin Sorrell, read about the WPP Group CEO's appearance on the U.K's Desert Island Discs radio show, where he talked about his life and family between choosing his favorite records.)
Here is an edited version of Mr. Levy's speech:
It seems to me that mobile phones have already begun to change the job we do and the consumers we address. In 1975, when I bought my first car phone, I thought it was a terrific invention. As soon as I left a client meeting I could phone my assistant, dictate a memo, and the client could receive it by fax even before I had made it back to my office.
Back then, a mobile phone was something we mainly used as ... a phone. It had a handset; you picked it up and dialed a number, and then you spoke. Sure, it was a surprise to be able to phone from your car, but there was no big mental shift -- we knew what a phone was. But since then, the world has changed.
I'd like to sketch out … some of the long-term perspectives that I perceive for mobile phones, in terms of how they change the consumer and the job of communications professionals, and also what I see as our responsibility as an industry.
Our mobile phones are incredibly easy to use. They're with us everywhere, all the time. We keep them in our pockets, close to our skin. There is no other form of technology that people interact with so intimately. The result: one-third of the population would rather lose their wallet than their phone.
Soon everyone will have a mobile. Babies will receive them at birth and carry them tucked in their diapers. No other device cumulates so many human actions, from the most useful to the most trivial. We phone, we text, we email, we surf the web, we play, we learn, we gather information, we read books, we look at photos, we take photos, we make movies and upload them onto YouTube, we watch TV. We even enact revolutions.
We develop such close bonds with our mobiles that it can sometimes cause problems with our families. I'm sorry to say this has happened to me. I remember a lovely afternoon beside the pool last summer, which I was occupying by staring at my BlackBerry. My wife, who is a wonderful woman, lost her temper and threw it into the pool.
I was horrified. I dived in. I dried its little keyboard. And my BlackBerry still worked! What a miracle!
The mobile phone is a mass media -- more widespread than TV. But it is also, paradoxically, the most personalized media. People invest a great deal of themselves in their mobile. It carries their favorite photos, their address book, their notes. It is a fashion statement, a stock of souvenirs, a second brain, an instant link to friendship that keeps away the fear of being alone.
So the mobile has changed the consumer. I'm insisting on this point because it changes the whole landscape for us as communications professionals. Because of mobile phones and tablets we can now directly address consumers, wherever they are, as individual human beings. And, just as directly, they can respond.
There's a word that has become the major concept of our profession in recent years -- it's almost a cliche -- the Conversation . Well, if there is any media in which the term has real meaning, it is the mobile phone. The consumer can answer back. There is immediate, personal dialog with the brand. And this is an enormous shift, with implications for every aspect of communication, not just for those of us who are specialized in mobile advertising.
Mobiles are a bridge media, the mediator of all other medias. You're lying on the sofa watching TV and something grabs your eye. Who gets up to find a notepad? Your mobile is right there, and you use it to check a fact, make a note, or take a closer look at a potential purchase. You're walking through London and a poster looks interesting. Take a photo of the QR code with your phone and suddenly you're on a website with a lot more information.
It's clear: mobiles can manage and orchestrate our interaction with other forms of media. And I think the lesson for our profession is that we need to think about mobile communication in a way that recognizes its complex, specific character and integrates that into the whole range of media.
My second point is the precision of this medium. People's phones contain a big part of their identities. They can reveal their tastes, social links, favorite activities, localization, travel -- data that is very private, very intimate and very detailed.
We have never before been faced with this kind of precision. It gives us an incredible opportunity to produce advertising that consumers will see as very relevant and even desirable. We can create a relationship of trust.
So mobiles are a fantastic tool, if we don't abuse them. I'm not going to insist on what happened at News of the World, but particularly in this country, you know very well the sense of violation, almost rape, that results from invasion of privacy. If we think about the intense power of mobile communication, and couple it with the extreme precision of data that it can produce, we begin to perceive that the mobile phone has an almost Orwellian potential.
So I'd like to bring up what seems to me the greatest challenge that faces us: the challenge of our responsibility. I have a nightmare. It's a world of intrusion, of a complete loss of privacy, the commercialization of every aspect of personality. Nobody wants this; I know I don't. And this means we as a profession must face a heavy responsibility.
It's up to us to take the first step in proposing clear formats and platforms for mobile phones that consumers can understand, in which they find it easy to engage and disengage, and which mean they can choose to share data, when to share it, and who to share it with.
We need to make a bet on the intelligence of the mobile consumer. He, or she, is faster, more flexible, more informed than ever before. And if we make smart proposals that acknowledge these qualities, consumers will welcome them.
What? You thought only phones had become smart? No way. There are smartphones, but there are also, above all, smart consumers. They are skeptical, informed and highly aware. Communicating with them will make our job harder, but it will also make it an even more compelling adventure.

We did a press release about a month ago about a company involved in construction allegedly being engaged in a scheme to rig the bidding process on federal jobs. What we did not know at the time is these types of schemes involve all federal agencies
(PRWEB) October 01, 2013
The Corporate Whistleblower Center is urging insiders with specific proof of any type of company is engaged in a scheme to game the federal bidding system, by creating a shell company that is classified as a minority owned business to call them, because there can be significant rewards for this type of information. They believe this is a much bigger problem than anyone knows.
The Corporate Whistleblower Center did a press release about a month ago about a company involved in construction allegedly engaged in a scheme to rig the bidding process on federal jobs by calling themselves a minority owned business. What they did not know at the time is these types of schemes involve all types of federal agencies, and they want whistleblowers to call them at 866-714-6466, if they have specific information about any type of company involved in a scheme to game the federal bidding process by classifying themselves as a minority, or woman owned business, especially if the bids are over one million dollars. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
The Corporate Whistleblower Center is pointing to the fact that the whistleblower mentioned in the June 6th 2013 DOJ press release will receive a half million dollars as their reward, as a very good reason for potential whistleblowers to call them at 866-714-6466, if they have information about companies falsely labeling themselves as a minority owned business.
Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center:
- Do not go to the government first if you are a major whistleblower. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Major whistleblowers frequently go to the federal government thinking they will help. It's a huge mistake."
- Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information. Public revelation of a whistleblower's information could destroy any prospect for a reward.
- Do not try to force a government contractor, or corporation to come clean to the government about their wrongdoing. The Corporate Whistleblower Center believes fraud is so rampant among federal contractors that any suggestion of exposure might result in an instant job termination, or harassment of the whistleblower. "Come to us first, tell us what type of information you have, and if we think it's sufficient, we will help find the right law firms to assist in advancing your information."
The Corporate Whistleblower Center wants to emphasize there are high quality whistleblowers in every state including California, New York, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. Any type of insider, or employee, who possesses significant proof of their employer, or a government contractor defrauding the federal government is encouraged to contact to Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via their web site at http://CorporateWhistleBlowerCenter.Com

How Much Dumber Can America Get?
It's pretty sad when so many Americans don't even know where the Berlin Wall was. Evidently they don't even know what Berlin is! They probably thought that Berlin was the last name of the guy that designed it like Irving Berlin. Unbelievable!
A sad commentary on our failing education system.
Hellstorm – Exposing The Real Genocide of Nazi Germany (Full)
This is now the completed "full length" documentary of a previous posting here of just the "trailer" for this film by Kyle Hunt. It's truly FANTASTIC in its scope of content and quality of production..!! PLEASE share this video to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the SINGLE greatest act of terror AND of a TRUE "genocidal holocaust" near the very end of World War II…!!!
MORE people died by way of the RAF (British) fire-bombing of Dresden on February 13th & 14th, 1945 (and the 3 following days of subsequent American fighter-plane "strafing")., than in the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki COMBINED.!!
Holocaust (noun): "Great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life., especially by fire"
Many of these "sick & twisted" people., even go so far as to call for ANOTHER bombing of innocent Germans in Dresden today.!!
It is our sacred duty., to not only inform the world about the atrocities committed against the German people, but also to rid our nations of those who carry out and celebrate such slaughter.!!
Winston Churchill told Lord Robert Boothby the following:
"Germany's most unforgivable crime before the Second World War, was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system (ie: World-Bankers), and to create her own exchange mechanism (ie: "Honest", non-interest bearing money) which would deny "world finance" of its opportunity to profit".!!
So., Germany's unwillingness to be looted by the "international bankers" was the TRUE reason that millions and millions of Europeans had to perish.?! The "world's elite"., definitely did NOT want the "Goyim" (ie: Anglo-Saxon & related peoples) to get any "big ideas"., especially after seeing Germany's MORE than remarkable recovery under National Socialism (ie: one's own nation comes FIRST.!)
Decades before in 1920, Winston Churchill, had actually written about the subject of Jewish involvement in the "looting" of Germany., already AFTER the end of the first World War., when he wrote the following:
"The same phenomenon (ie: Jewish involvement with left-wing & Communist movements) has been presented in Germany (especially in Bavaria) as far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon the temporary prostration of the German people. And although in all these countries, there are many non-Jews., every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish revolutionaries., the part played by the latter., in proportion to their numbers., is astonishing.!!"
Churchill also acknowledged the role Jews played in the bringing about of the Soviet terror in writing:
"There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international, and for the most part atheist Jews. It is certainly a very great one; and it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews (Lenin's paternal grandfather was later found to be a Jew). Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders"
Jewish power was not confined to Germany or the Soviet Union, but could be found all around the world, when Churchill also said:
"Some people like (are fond of) the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are beyond any question., the most formidable and most remarkable race which has appeared in the world.!!"
At some point Churchill became an instrument of this "power". During World War II., Churchill's loyalty was NOT to the British people (as the majority of the people NEVER wanted war with Germany !) but to the small "tribe" of alien elites., that has been generating wars AND reaping "the spoils" for centuries upon centuries.!!
Churchill's TRUE "atrocities" against Germany make him one of the worst villains this world has ever known., along with his comrade., Joseph Stalin *and* FDR..!!
Senator Homer Capeheart spoke the following to the U.S. Senate on Feb. 5, 1946, in which he said:
"Since the end of the war., about 3,000,000 people,, mostly women and children and over-aged men., have been killed in eastern Germany and south-eastern Europe. About 15,000,000 people have been deported, or had to flee from their homesteads, and are on the road. About 25 % of these people., over 3,000,000 have perished / died. About 4,000,000 men and women have been deported to Eastern Europe and Russia as slaves..!! It seems that the elimination of the German population of Eastern Europe., at least 15,000,000 people., was planned in accordance with decisions made at the "Yalta Conference". Churchill had said to Mikolajczyk when the latter protested during the negotiations at Moscow against forcing Poland to incorporate eastern Germany: "Don't mind the five or more million Germans. Stalin will see to them. You will have no trouble with them.., as they will cease to exist"..!!
25 Things Your Car Mechanic Won't Tell You
Although having a car can be helpful, when it comes time for repairs it would be good to know these 25 things your car mechanic won't tell you.
When I was a young man I fell for the old "I wouldn't drive that car if I were you." Number One scare tactic. It's usually pulled on women, and the very young or the very old.
Remember that your local mechanic is out to make money. Some are crooks, some are honest. Try to get to know your mechanic by giving him smaller jobs before you give him a major one.
The New Common Core Standards?
How little America's High School students know may shock you. And these kids are supposed to be going to college in a few years? Most of them aren't even ready for hamburger college – which is where half of them will probably end up anyway.
What's really disheartening is that most of these kids seem to think it's no big deal that they can't answer these simple questions.
Adolf Hitler, The Man who Fought the Bank
This well-made video is pretty self-explanatory, and shows how Hitler wanted peace and prosperity for his German Folk. He stood up for freedom against the tyranny of the international money powers and banking cartels.
The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America
In this video Luke Rudkowski speaks with Department of Education whistleblower Charlette Iserbyt about the deliberate dumbing down of America. The former US Department of Education Senior Policy Advisor suggests that the our educational system is not based upon children learning. Is the Carnegie foundation instrumental in developing a collectivist style educational system that is detrimental to our youth? Are the elites impacting the development of the general population through our school systems? Watch this video and find out.
Common Core Insanity
Parents: Do you know what "Common Core" is? If not, you should look into the garbage that your schools are indoctrinating your children with. Funded by Bill Gates, this program seeks to dumb down American students to abysmal levels. Do the research and get involved.
The "Big Pharma" Scam of Psychiatry, ADHD, Bipolar, Chemical Imbalance
The medical industries reap enormous profits off of people. Possibly the biggest scam is in the broad field covering "mental disorders." Always remember, more patients = more profits. When greed rules, everything else loses.
How mexican 8th Graders Act in our Public Schools
As a former teacher, I can tell you this person is speaking the truth. That's EXACTLY the way it is when Mexicans are in the majority.
Ice Age Columbus
You think the Indians were the first ones in North America? Maybe they weren't. This documentary explores the theory that Solutrean hunters from Europe beat the Indians here by 2000 – 5000 years. If this is true, Aryans are the true Native Americans.
This film also dramatizes how Europeans made the trip in a fictional, but plausible recreation.
The 2014 "White Privilege Conference"
Chilling video of brainwashing children at the 2014 "White Privilege Conference." This is absolutely disgusting. Wake Up, White Man!
Commander Rockwell's Greatest Speech
In this speech, the commander explains the fundamental differences between National Socialism and Marxism. If anyone is unclear on this subject, this speech is a must-hear. It is a bit long – about an hour an fifty minutes, but if you can't sit through it, how interested are you in becoming educated?
Anyone who THINKS they already know the difference may find that they didn't know so much after all if they listen to this.

BTW, if anyone claims we are not the true ANP, you should know that Chairman Suhayda got permission from Rockwell's successor Matt Koehl to revive the ANP, therefore we ARE the true ANP.
Banker Bonuses
$91 Billion in bonuses for bailed out banks that made 10 Million homeless? 70,000 people signed a letter calling BS, and the intrepid Negin Farsad went to deliver it in person – see what happened next.

9/11: A Conspiracy Theory?
This short is an entertaining and humorous video about all the B.S. we were told regarding the infamous attacks of 9/11. I post this video to only emphasize the clear truth: This evil judeo-capitalist regime lies excessively and constantly. It is not enough to just know about the government's lies though; it is necessary to GET INVOLVED and JOIN the Struggle (anp14.com)! There are lots of "conspiracy" videos about these attacks but if you have the time to sit down and consider it, then I suggest this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl4CDScgvy0
Are Americans Stupid?
Watch this video and see. The ignorance of the average person is truly disturbing. The last segment shows people's blind faith in the government. Incredible. This shows how our education system – which brags that it is the best in the world (yeah right) – is failing our people.
The Mexican Government Is Hypocritical
Mexico KILLS Illegal Aliens While Calling U.S. Anti-Illegal Immigration Policy Racist!
How Smart Are Our College Students?
Increasingly education has become more and more specialized. Today's college students know a lot about their chosen profession, and little about anything else. If this doesn't disturb you, then you are as thick headed as these college students.

I had an opportunity to speak with Ralph Blust, the President of Insurance Noodle (a subsidiary of Insureon), about small business insurance. Insurance Noodle helps independent insurance agents offer business insurance policies to their clients from more than 40 companies. Instead of building relationships with each company directly, an agent signs up for Insurance Noodle. This allows agents to efficiently shop around to find the best policy for their clients.
The following Q&A is based on my notes of our interview and does not necessarily contain direct quotes from Ralph Blust.
Click Here to get our FREE Google advertising guide and discover the 6 steps you can use to show up #1 in Google search
Question: Will you pay more buying insurance from an agent versus going directly to the insurance provider?
The cost of a particular policy will be exactly the same, regardless of whether you buy the policy from the agent or directly from the insurance provider. However, there is a greater opportunity for a small business to save money or find better value when working with an independent agent because an agent can offer comparisons from multiple carriers. There are wide differences in how much insurance companies charge for very similar policies. The differences in price can be dramatic. For example, I recently saw one applicant receive two quotes, one for $2,200 in annual premium from one carrier, and another for $4,700. They both provided very similar coverage. Working with an agent that can get quotes from multiple providers is very important.
Question: How should one find a good insurance agent?
Not all insurance agents have the expertise for or interest in serving small business clients. There are two questions I would ask a potential insurance agent: How many clients do you serve in my industry and what is their average monthly premium? You don't want to be the first plumbing business or restaurant for which they have found insurance coverage. Ideally, the insurance agent should have at least 3 to 5 clients in your industry. The monthly premium gets to the average size of business that they serve. If their clients are paying $35,000 per policy on average in annual premiums, they are probably serving larger clients, and might be the right agent for a single-location pizza place. You want to find an agent who is familiar with your type of business, and experienced working with businesses of your size.
Question: What mistakes do small businesses make when buying insurance?
Small businesses often focus solely on price. The decision to buy insurance is often driven by external factors, such as a client or business partner requiring a certificate of liability. Companies want to spend the lowest amount to satisfy the requirement. However, this approach ignores that insurance provides an important function, providing financial protection against unfortunate events. Those that focus on price sometimes get poor financial protections. In addition to financial protection, an insurance buyer should focus on coverage, financial stability of the carrier, and client satisfaction (especially on claims payment). Some insurance policies cover "all types of loss" and others "only specified perils." For example, a property policy that does not cover all types of loss might not cover a broken window that resulted from hundreds of fans celebrating after a major sports game victory.
Question: Can you talk about the financial stability of the carrier?
I have seen many financially unstable carriers go under during my career. When a carrier goes bankrupt, they may not be able to meet their obligations to pay claims. However, finding out the financial stability of a carrier is not difficult. There are several companies that rate insurance companies, including A.M. Best, which is considered the gold standard. Insurance Noodle only works with carriers rated A- and above by A.M. best.
Question: Are there any other big mistakes that small businesses make involving insurance?
Yes: they don't report claims. Business insurance costs good money. When something happens, use the policies you have paid for. In most cases, unless there has been a pattern of problems, your rates will not skyrocket when you report a claim.
And it's also important to report a claim as soon as it occurs. Typically, you can report a claim by phone to the insurance company or your agent. However, you should read your policy to confirm the exact instructions from your carrier. If you don't report a claim within a reasonable time, you could forfeit some or all your coverage for the incident.
While something may appear to be a small incident at first, there is often a tendency for small incidents to become larger ones. However, insurance companies have the loss mitigation experts to minimize the potential size of a claim. The earlier they get involved, the better it is for both you and the insurance company.

In Chapter 25, Walter and Melody were at war over the house. He told her they had no choice but to sell unless they could find a way to bring in more money each month. Walter also didn't want the twins to look at anything but state schools but Melody continued to take the girls school shopping. When she was told that there were two offers on the house she put in an outrageous counter offer without asking Walt. She was determined not to surrender her house until she talked to Leo again.

Inverse problems in heterogeneous and fractured media using peridynamics
The following work presents an adjoint-based methodology for solving inverse problems in heterogeneous and fractured media using state-based peridynamics. We show that the inner product involving the peridynamic operators is self-adjoint. The proposed method is illustrated for several numerical examples with constant and spatially varying material parameters as well as in the context of fractures. We also present a framework for obtaining material parameters by integrating digital image correlation (DIC) with inverse analysis. This framework is demonstrated by evaluating the bulk and shear moduli for a sample of nuclear graphite using digital photographs taken during the experiment. The resulting measured values correspond well with other results reported in the literature. Lastly, we show that this framework can be used to determine the load state given observed measurements of a crack opening. Furthermore, this type of analysis has many applications in characterizing subsurface stress-state conditions given fracture patterns in cores of geologic material.

Pheww.. the night is finally over!
Went for berbuka puasa with ene today. But not just ene, with his friends as well! Omg.. I was so nervous.
This is the first time I'm meeting his friends. He told me to be calm. I am. Just that, I feel a bit self-consious.. or should I say inferior because they know exactly about the whole story of how ene and I met. I know we shouldn't take into account of what people said about us. But.. I still do, sometimes. I couldn't stop thinking what would they say behing my back. Oh well.. iLa and her paranoia..
|While waiting for the table
We got there around 6.30pm and it was full with people. Everybody wanted to get their hands on the scrumptious menu. So, we had to wait about half an hour for a table. And how lucky we were, we got this really nice diner-style table near the stairs.
|Sorry.. the pic resolution's not that good.
There were eight of us, altogether. 3 couples and 2 non-couples. Hehe. They were Yus and Ennie, Coben (what a weird name, huh? Must be the nickname from school. They have a lot of really odd nicknames back then..) and Nat and the solos were Ajis and Ahaw (this one's also weird. Must ask ene how'd they got their nicks).
|From left: Ahaw, Ennie & Yus (the couple) and ene & I (the couple also =p)
I got quite an acquaintance with his friends. I was thinking they might give me cold stares or might not talk to me and stuff. Boy, I was wrong. They were really friendly. And not to mention, funny! Like reaaaaaally funny. I didn't stop laughing that night.
|From left: Nat & Coben (the couple) and Ajis & Ahaw (the singles)
I didn't take any pictures of the food there although they looked quite irresistible. Part of it I was kinda shy with them as I just met them for the first time (I don't want people to say I'm a crazy bitch with a camera snapping here and there). Part of it was because I was too hungry breaking fast I forgot to take any pictures.
Below are the pictures of the singles.. any takers?
|This is self-shot =p

About Us
The Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA is a premier research organization dedicated to the creation, dissemination, and conservation of archaeological knowledge and heritage. The Cotsen Institute is home to both the Interdepartmental Archaeology Program and the UCLA/Getty Program in Archaeological and Ethnographic Conservation. It provides a forum for innovative faculty research, graduate education, and public programs at UCLA in an effort to impact positively the academic, local and global communities. The Cotsen Institute is at the forefront of archaeological research, education, conservation and publication and is an active contributor to interdisciplinary research at UCLA.
Message from the Director
We start the new Academic Year with a freshly painted seminar room A222, the hub of our activities. From the weekly Wednesday pizza talks and Friday seminars to the Core Classes and any festivities that involve speakers, food and drink, this is where we live. At the beginning of the year I want to take the opportunity to look both back and forward. In the past year we paid tribute to Chip Stanish and Jeanne Arnold, who retired, and to Mr. Lloyd Cotsen, whom we will have to miss forever. The legacy of these three individuals is a strong, financially sound, archaeological research institute that has much to offer to its students, faculty, and staff. We have seen the (re-)establishment of the Early Agriculture/Paleoethnobotany Laboratory and the Digital Laboratory, which are both nuclei of research activity, involving not only graduate, but also undergraduate students. The Ceramic, Andean and Ethnoarchaeology working groups have had several meetings in which members presented their research. We had quite a few celebratory public events, including the award of the second triannual Cotsen Prize to Dr. Jane Buikstra, public lectures on Ethiopia, the Museo Egizio (Turin), Athenian Naval Bases and the annual Open House in collaboration with the Fowler Museum and, most importantly, the graduation of six of our students.

Tangerang. National flag carrier Garuda Indonesia kicked off its first return flight between Jakarta and Banyuwangi on Friday (08/09) as part of efforts to cater to rising demand for flights between the capital and East Java.
The inaugural flight from Terminal 3 at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Cengkareng, Banten, was witnessed by Tourism Minister Arief Yahya, Garuda president director Pahala N. Mansury and Agus Santoso, director general of aviation at the Ministry of Transportation.
In his keynote address, Arief expressed his appreciation for Garuda move to connect Jakarta and Banyuwangi. He said the East Java city welcomes about 4 million domestic and 100,000 foreign tourists annually.
He said the improved connectivity will allow the city to receive an even bigger influx of tourists.
The minster said the government plans to upgrade Banyuwangi's Blimbingsari Airport, which is operated by state-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura II.
Pahala of Garuda said there will be five flights per week between Jakarta and Banyuwangi. Flights will be on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. He added that the airline will use Bombarier CRJ 1000 NextGen aircraft, which can carry 96 passengers.

It`s a Great Life is as much, or more, an affair of the heart for Robert Stack as it is a career move.
``I know nothing about daytime television,`` says Stack, who made his debut as a daytime television host this fall on the new, syndicated It`s a Great Life magazine-format series. He laughs. ``But then I know nothing about television, so what else is new?``
Great Life, says the actor, is a chance to work with his wife, co-host Rosemarie, as well as to give her a professional boost.
``She was a top model, knew all the fashion world. I think she has something to give to a female audience.``
Stack, probably most familiar to audiences as the star of the popular TV series The Untouchables, looks at his 29 years with Rosemarie as something of a fluke.
He figured his cards were stacked against a long-lived marriage. Divorce ran through his wealthy family, including his parents.
As if that weren`t enough, the sportsman/athlete was committed to the single life.
Then there was age: He was 15 years older than Rosemarie.
Nevertheless, when he met the young model at his agent`s office, the actor was instantly smitten.
Even so, he considers his desire to marry her something less than romantic, more an issue of jealousy: ``I just couldn`t viscerally stand the idea of anybody else with his arm around her.``
He may have married her to get her off the market, but he stayed because he liked the life. ``When we got into it, we just happened to have similar tastes. She`s a western gal, and I`m a western guy. I think that`s part of it; we like the same things. ... It was truly a miracle.``
Miracle or not, the course of true love had some roadblocks. Within three years there were two children - and the Untouchables.

Prepare the stock: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the turkey neck and giblets; cook, turning, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery, herb sprigs and bay leaves; stir to coat. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, reduce the heat to low and simmer about 1 hour. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup; reserve the saucepan. You should have 7 cups stock ¿ if you're short, add more broth.
Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in the reserved saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the 7 cups stock; bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside until the turkey is done.
Pour the turkey pan drippings into a fat separator and let stand until the fat rises to the top. Discard the fat (or drizzle on your stuffing). Whisk the defatted drippings into the gravy; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until desired thickness, 5 to 15 minutes.

Update on GST Refunds
February 20, 2008
Members of the trustee community have made representation to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regarding the withholding of GST refunds due to the amendments made to several acts following the 2006 budget. Legislation introduced in April 2007 prohibits debtors, who have a debt owing to the Crown or who are non-compliant in their filing requirements, from obtaining any tax refunds.
In April 2007, the CRA enhanced its systems to accommodate these legislative amendments. As a result, if an account or any related accounts are non-compliant, the system will automatically inhibit the issuance of refunds.
The CRA is aware that these system enhancements have created delays in the processing of insolvency files. This issue is being reviewed by the CRA on a priority basis. Further information will be provided as it becomes available. Refunds will continue to be held on accounts where non-compliance is identified. The CRA requests your continued patience to ensure the consistent, effective, and efficient resolution of this matter.

Florida state representative Jake Raburn (R-Valrico) has responded to the January 6 attack at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International by introducing a bill to allow concealed carry in the baggage claim and other unsecured portions of airports.
Currently, Florida is one of only six states that ban law-abiding citizens from carrying concealed weapons in airports.
According to the Sun Sentinel, Raburn stressed that a law-abiding citizen could have used his or her gun to stop the attacker Friday, thereby saving lives. He said, "I do personally feel like had this bill been in place already, there could have been the potential for people to protect themselves in that situation."
There is currently no Senate companion bill for Raburn's legislation, although Senator Greg Steube (R-Sarasota) has introduced a broader bill that repeals a number of gun-free zones, airports included. So Raburn is looking for a more concise Senate bill to serve as a companion to his legislation or a larger House bill into which he can place his bill as a companion to Steube's. Either way, he wants gun-free zones in unsecured portions of the airport done away.
Raburn said, "I carry my weapon wherever I go, but I travel a lot and it's something I've thought about a lot as I have to comply with the law."
Breitbart News previously reported that the FBI's George Piro said shooting suspect Esteban Santiago flew to the gun-free Ft. Lauderdale airport "specifically" to carry out the attack.

You realize that the guy who started Wayland - Kristian Høgsberg - has been working on X[1] on a daily basis for some time ?
Reading the initial mail, the guys pushing for Wayland in Fedora include David Airlie[2], who is working on the open source radeon drivers. Adam Jackons (ajax)[3] is also one of them and he has also been working on various X stuff for a long time.
Not to say that you should necessarily share their opinions because they are working on X. But they probably have *very good* reasons to push for a replacement to the software they've been working on for years.
And if they say that the X protocol has drawbacks (multiple communications for a single mouse event, unavoidable flickering and so on), they probably don't just made it up... they've been working on it for years.
[1] His nickname is "krh" : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/
[2] http://airlied.livejournal.com/
[3] http://people.freedesktop.org/~ajax/
I understand where they are coming from, I simply disagree that starting from scratch and reinventing the wheel over again is the best approach.
BTW, this is not the first time that "someone working on X daily" has decided that X is brain dead and knows exactly how to fix things with an alternative, which eventually... goes... nowhere.
I have seen this movie before.
Edited 2010-11-13 23:13 UTC
[citation needed]
/me wonders which full-time X developers did this.
In this case you haven't seen shit, you are talking about not just one X developer, you are talking about the main contributors to X development. The people who realised we needed to change years ago, instigated projects like KMS and GEM/TTM drivers, in order to create an alternative to the X stack in the future.
We aren't mouthpieces like spaceboy, we are the people in the trenches, we just don't come out spewing unrealistic timelines, wayland is in the future, but when the future becomes current is anyones guess.
I have no problem with X developers talking about what's wrong with X and what we'll do about it. X will not and should not last forever; the time for change has certainly come. The new system needs to be well planned and considered such that it can last another 20 years, but presuming that this is done I have no problems with it.
What I don't like are people who are not X hackers and who know nothing about its history and function declaring that X is dead and hailing the great savior Wayland, as if all things they perceive as wrong with Linux desktop environments will magically disappear when Wayland descends from the heavens.
I can't mod you up enough.
This has happened before...many times. I remember when DirectFB was going to be the next big thing and it would solve all of our problems. Then it was "Y" and other small projects that faded into oblivion. Now it's Wayland. Wayland certainly has a better chance, given its progenitors but it is still a long, long way off before it even has the potential to overtake X. By then X may have evolved into a very different beast, and/or Wayland may become insufficient for future needs.

Mt.Carmel, Illinois, United States
My bio picture was taken Jan. 2013 ..... as you can see I am nothing special, but I do hold the hearts of a few. :)
quilting, sewing, crocheting, fabric postcards, embroidery quilt squares, fabric quilted fabric checkbook covers, rag quilts, jewelery, handbags, drawstring Gothic bags, wire card holders, canning, backing, cross stitch, counted cross stitch,
I started making many crafts back in the 50's on a treadle sewing machine that my grandmother gave me, she figured if I ran a needle in my finger I would stop peddling.
By the 60's I was making most of my own clothing, including formals, suites and coats. In the 70's was when family came alone and I made their clothing and also crafts to sell and help support us. I am always on the look out for something new and different, which lately seems as if the old is the new new. :)
Yes I do more than sew crafts I sew clothing, but most of that is from special orders
This is a cape I made fully lined and you can wear it red side out or cow print out ..... yes very different.
Same cape as above but shows the other side.

Dementia-friendly ways to worship
Alex Treitler, organization director for spiritual care at AugustanaCare
After chaplain Alex Treitler began leading services for people with dementia, he quickly realized things weren't going well. He says those with dementia found it hard to engage with the "traditional Lutheran communion service model"— and so Treitler, the organization director for spiritual care at AugustanaCare, went to work.
Starting in 2012, he began leading innovative worship services at Emerald Crest, a Minneapolis-area AugustanaCare facility.
These 15- to 30-minute services emphasize sensory stimulation. Rather than reading a Bible story, Treitler might act it out. He recently donned colorful scarves for the story of Joseph, his coat and his jealous brothers. His sermon engaged the residents; he says he asked if they ever fought with their siblings, and if they forgave each other.
Singing familiar hymns and reciting common prayers also is important. Many residents still can sing along or mouth the words, "even if their expressive ability is very compromised," Treitler says.
Residents are more alert and active during the services, which provide an opportunity for bonding with family members, according to cognitive clinical specialist Theresa Klein. She says one woman told her, "My mom and I can't really talk anymore, but we can share this experience."
AugustanaCare is considering expanding the program, Klein says.

If you didn't see it Saturday, you've seen it by now – the play that saved South Carolina's SEC East hopes.
If you still haven't seen it, we'll pause while you watch here. That's how close the Gamecocks came to having no shot at a division title. Now, thanks to one of the most unlikely plays in the SEC history, South Carolina sits one Missouri loss away from Atlanta.
And it's not just that play. Think of all the moments on which this season has turned. Connor Shaw to Bruce Ellington on fourth down in the overtime against Missouri. A missed 24-yard field goal by the Tigers. Heck, any of a half dozen plays against Missouri. What about Shamier Jeffery's onside kick recovery against Kentucky? On the flip side, what if Tennessee's Marquez North doesn't make a fantastic catch in the fourth quarter to spark the Volunteers upset win over the Gamecocks?
South Carolina is 8-2 and sitting pretty right now, but imagine how things might have gone.
"We are not all that great. I hope y'all know that," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said. "We've had four or five games that could have gone the other way."
Around the SEC:
Predictably, Mark Richt was asked about how Georgia played the decisive play. He had no qualms with it.
Here's a Florida columnist surveying the damage that has been done to the Gators. Remember, it could get worse. Florida State still is on the schedule.

Irelia Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I know, i'm a ****ing FR, but i will do my best for a best translate of my build ;)
This build is mainly made to hold a middle road.
Indeed, I find that Irelia is a personal to be played as akali either katarina ( my 2 main heroes). You need to be aggresive, but by playing the more safe you can anyway :D
Later, everything depends naturally on what you face opposite.
Runes, Masteries and IS
Runes are magic pene, dodge, power and a quint of hp. You can get 3 quint of power but it is noticed to get some hp more in order to be aggressive. Magic pene cause your Equilibrium get a great ratio of power, and you can easily get some kills with this skill. Dodge cause you are a melee heroe and you can easily be focused by the entire team of ennemies :D
Masteries : Equilibrium :D with offense and defense. Just to go on Archaic knowledge and Ardor, the most greater skills for you :D (its the same template who i use when i play akali)
: Always for Last Hit a hero who run away with 20hp under tower early game ...
: In late game, if you get a great stuff and more kill, you can easily 1v1 and this exhaust can give you the victory, but exhaust can be used in order to slow down more ennemies in the goal of catching them.
Spells :
Maximize everything in is not a bad choice if you face a mordekaiser for example ;)
You can go on but ... you will have to put your Irelia on hybrid AD if you want that works effisciently.
Your is so cheated, you can slow or stun by leading your life, and if you are very skilled you can engage at 50-100 hp a full hp hero in order to burst him and maybe kill him ;)
And your ult ... ... just a great move and place your cursor on these fcking heroes :D 20% life steal oO hahaha low cd oO hohoho just pwn them :D
Late game :
You inc around 3000 HP at 18
Your third spells can do arount 1000 dmg in end game (if blue buff, can spamm every 4 s ^^)
Dont engage, wait 2 second after a Garen or Galio went in the ennemies and you can do your job ;)
Items :
It's like a Akali Hybrid (without the Rilay scepter), for me, cause akali is my main, and i find Irelia can be played like this beautifull girl ;)
Early : and a and you get a great dmg. Your first skill is not very up cause you need to up Equilibrium as faster as possible. Thats why i take a long sword, just to balance first and third skill.
Boots : + your passive ... you are unstoppable ;)
Mid : you get some magical dmg, and a vampiric dmg. You will be able to up in Gunblade later. Have Fun, you will do more dmg, and when you will get , you will be able to kill almost everyone.
Late : Take a Guinzoo's Rageblade before ending your . If you want, you can get a for more physical dmg.
Conclusion :
Legendary each game :D

10 min
11 min
12 min
13 min
It takes 9 km less due to stoppages. Time spend in stoppages=(9/45)*60=12 min
If a jogger jogs 16 km/hr instead of 12 km/hr, he would have jogged 10 km more. The actual distance he jogged is
50 km
40 km
30 km
20 km
The actual distance jogged be d.
=> d/12 = (d+10)/16
=> 16d = 12d+120
=> 4d = 120
=> d = 30
A bus travels at a speed of 45 km/hr for first 120 km and then at 81 km/hr for next 120 km. What is the average speed for first 240 km?
227.57 km/hr
228.57 km/hr
229.57 km/hr
230 km/hr
Total time taken = (45/120+81/120)
= 126/120=21/20 hrs
Average speed = 240*20/21
= 228.57km/hr
A bus travels at a speed of 3/5th of its actual speed covers 72 km in 1 hr 30 min. What is the actual speed of the car?
80 km/hr
120 km/hr
160 km/hr
200 km/hr

= 3/2hr = 3/2 hrs
Actual speed be x,
=> 3/5x*3/2 = 72
=> x = 80
A car completes the journey in 5 hours. It travels first half of the journey at a speed of 32 km/hr and second half at 36 km/hr. What is the distance covered by the car in km?
500 km
532 km
572 km
576 km
=> 15x/576 = 15
=> x = 576km
A car X takes 3 hours more than a bus Y in covering 40 km. If the car triples its speed it takes 1 hour less than bus. What is the speed of the car?
6 km/hr
6.25 km/hr
6.67 km/hr
7 km/hr
Let the car's speed be x km/hr.
=> 40/x-40/(3x)=4
=> 80/3x=4
=> 12x=80
=> x=6.67 km/hr
A student comes from school partly by foot at 5 km/hr and partly by bicycle at 8 km/hr. The total distance covered by him is 51km in 9 hours. Find the distance traveled on foot.
35 km

5 hours
6 hours
7 hours
Distance covered in first 1 hour=30 km,Distance covered in next 1 hour=45 km,
Distance covered in next 1 hour=60 km,
Distance covered in 4th hour=75 km
Distance covered in 5th hour=90 km,
Remaining distance=405-300=105 km,
Speed in 6th hour=105 km/hr
Time taken to cover 105 m=105/105=1 hour,
Total time=6 hours
A car is 15 minutes late by running at a speed of 4/5th of its actual speed. The actual time taken by the car to cover that distance is:
30 minutes
1 hour
2 hours
3 hours
New speed=4/5th of its actual speed
New time=5/4th of its actual time
=> 5/4t-t=15/60=1/4
=> 1/4t=1/4
=> t=1hour
A man travels at a speed of 60km/hr and returns by decreasing his speed by 20%. What is the average speed of both journey?
Speed of return journey=80% of 60=48km/hr,average speed=(2*60*48)/(45+68)=53.33km/hr

0.5 hour
Ratio of speed=2:3,
Ratio of time taken=3:2
Suppose Raju takes 3t hours and Sajan takes 2t hours,
then 3t-2t = 20/60=1/3
Time taken by Raju=3t=3*1/3=1 hour
An athlete has to cover a distance of 10 km in 30 minutes. If he covers half of the distance in 1/3rd of total time, what is the speed required to cover the remaining distance in remaining time?
10 km/hr
12 km/hr
14 km/hr
15 km/hr
Remaining distance=5 km
Remaining time=(2/3)*30=20 min=1/3 hour
Required speed=5/(1/3)=5*3=15 km/hour
The speed of an athlete is 45 km/hr. Find the time taken by him to cover a square field of side 50 m?
10 s
12 s
14 s
16 s
Speed=45*(5/18) = 25/2 m/s
Distance=50*4=200 m
Time taken=200/(25/2)=200*(2/25)
A bus travels first one-fourth of the distance with a speed of 9 km/hr, next one fourth of the distance with 15 km/hr, third one-fourth distance with a speed of 20 km/hr and last one fourth with 30 km/hr. The average speed of the car for the whole journey is:
19.09 km/hr
29.09 km/hr
39.09 km/hr
49.09 km/hr
Let whole distance traveled be x
and average speed of the car be y
=> (x/4)/10+(x/4)/20+(x/4)/30+(x/4)/40=x/y
=> 1/10+1/20+1/30+x/40=4/y
=> (24+12+4+3)/240=4/y
=> 33/240=4/y
=> y=29.09
A motorcyclist X drives along a circular fence at a rate of 2 rounds per hour and another motor cyclist Y at a rate of 4 rounds per hour. After how long they will cross each other for the first time?
20 min
30 min
40 min
Since X and Y move in the same direction they cross each other when there is a difference of two round between the two. Relative speed of X and Y=4-2=2.
Time taken to complete one round at this speed = 1/2 hour
= 30minutes
A motorcyclist X drives along a circular fence at a rate of 2 rounds per hour and another motor cyclist Y at a rate of 4 rounds per hour in the opposite direction. how many times they will cross each other ?
3 times
4 times
5 times
6 times
Relative speed=4+2=6 rounds per hour,
They cross 6 times an hour.

Israelis walk past an election campaign billboard of Israeli Prime Minister and Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu, in Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv, Israel, Sunday, January 6, 2013. Hebrew on the billboards reads, " Strong Prime Minister strong Israel." (AP Photo/Oded Balilty)
During his first term in office in the late 1990s, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was considered the most polarizing leader the country had known. The left refused to forgive him for his part in the incitement that led to Yitzhak Rabin's 1995 assassination, while the right adored him for leading the opposition to the Oslo Accords. Now approaching his fifth election campaign as head of the Likud party, Netanyahu doesn't generate that much passion anymore. His fans are less enthusiastic, while his critics have grown tired. More than anything, it seems that a majority of Israelis have simply grown accustomed to him. At a time of regional upheaval and international instability, Netanyahu's ability to maintain the status quo seems enough to deliver what, according to all indications, should be his third term in the prime minister's office. But Netanyahu's success is not just about the relative stability Israelis are enjoying; it has even more to do with political and ideological changes that have seen the entire political system shift gradually to the right, including the rise of a new right-wing elite.
Netanyahu's Knesset bloc—comprising his own Likud party (which will run under a joint ticket with Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party), the religious parties and the Orthodox—has been polling well above the sixty-seat threshold required to secure a coalition government. Furthermore, the Israeli center wasn't able to unite under a single candidate, and the anti-Netanyahu vote will be divided among at least five different factions. The opposition cannot agree even on its own agenda: while Labor Party leader Shelly Yachimovich is campaigning on economic issues and enjoys the support of some of 2011's social protest leaders, former Kadima leader Tzipi Livni has formed a new party (Hatnua, or the Movement) and is calling for a renewal of the diplomatic process with the Palestinian Authority; meanwhile, former TV anchorman Yair Lapid is winning some of the secular vote by promising benefits for the middle class and reform of the military draft. This fragmentation represents an existential crisis in a camp that has yet to come up with a coherent post-Oslo narrative that will appeal to a broad base of Israelis. Since there is a consensus within the political system that Netanyahu will be the next prime minister, some of his critics have already announced that they will try to join his new government "in order to influence it from within." This shift to the right has further isolated the hard left, the non-Zionists and the Palestinian parties (Meretz, Hadash, Balad and other such lists), which could actually improve their position from the current Knesset but will have little influence over policy.
Even so, these elections are far from the smooth sailing Netanyahu had hoped for, and a new challenge to the prime minister is emerging from, of all places, his base on the hard right. A couple of related events have taken place that are bound to influence Israeli politics in the years to come: the first occurred in November, when the settlers registered a major victory in the Likud primaries. In recent years, at least four organized groups from the West Bank or composed of settler supporters have enlisted new members in the Likud with the intention of influencing the party's closed internal elections. As a result, practically all the hard-right candidates have been promoted to senior places on the party's list for the coming elections, while the liberal flank has seen all of its members—including three ministers—pushed out of the Knesset.

Katy Perry is a pink vision as Elle's latest cover girl.
It's not like you need us to remind you that Katy Perry is a dime piece, but if you want us to, we totally will: KATY PERRY IS A DIME PIECE! As in smokin' hot, beautiful, better luck to you next time, Russell Brand. (Too soon? Maybe.) Aside from being nominated for you know, four VMAs, the "Wide Awake" singer also has the honor of being Elle's coveted September issue cover girl. Some people just get all the good stuff, you know?
Check out more photos from Katy Perry's Elle spread after the jump.
Inside the issue, Katy leaves behind her candy-coated days and opens up about the possibility of a second marriage, being a role model, and living a life of integrity and strength. In regards to her stance on love, Katy explains, "I obviously have a lot to say right now.... I'm a woman who likes to be courted -- strongly. Never say never, I guess you'd say. I'll let love take the lead on that." On being a role model, Katy is proud of the responsibility: "I have no regrets.... I'm not going to be everything to everyone. I can't tell a person when it's time for them to have sex. Or if they should have a cigarette... but I try to live my life with a lot of integrity, and, hopefully, that sends a message." Lastly, on her perma-sugar coated candy image, Katy admits, "I love what I do, and when I don't love what I do, I'll make a change.... I can't be the candy queen forever." UMMM, are you sure about that one, Katy?? Because we think you can AND YOU SHOULD! Just an opinion, though.
