Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems
Comments about Dorothy (Alves) Holmes
Roletha Hargrove
I read your book 'People Talk' and finding it again I make note here of what was said of you at that time and I want to say you have only gotten better.
'Mrs. Alves is a versatile and spontaneous writer, which gives her work universal appeal'
Dorothy's poetry is important, I believe, because it deals with real people and describes real situations with much warmth and sincerity.
'Dorothy's poems are sensitive insights into the soul.'
I salute you for still sharing your gift.
Gary Witt
Ms. Holmes: You have a startling, and extremely versatile voice, with a range that goes from sensuous to sad and back in about 6.5 seconds. Thank you for sharing.
The Forever Of You
The forever of you
Is in between all I do...
In a passing field of flowers
In the morning sky,
You are to me, a soft
Enchanting lullaby.
You are ever in my thoughts;
Oh! the clamor that invades
The empty spaces
When we are apart.
A Bed Time Story
Once upon a time
Once upon a dream
Once upon a heart break
Once uppon a tear
The world closed down.
Where were all the fairy god-mothers?

What is a Citation?
A citation is a written reference to a specific work or portion of a work (book, magazine or journal article, newspaper article, government report, etc.) by a particular author, editor, organization, etc., that identifies the document in which the work can be found.
Basic Parts of a Citation
Regardless of their format, citations generally have four main parts - author, title, source, and year of publication. The main difference between most citations (illustrated in the chart below) is the format of the source of information.
|Source of information
|Place of Publication / Publisher
|Magazine / Journal Title
Volume / Issue Numbers Page numbers
Different Citation Formats
Citations appear in indexes in various formats. Most citations found in print and electronic indexes are for magazine or journal articles. However, some indexes include citations for government documents, newspaper articles, books, book reviews, and even chapters from books. To determine the appropriate format, all parts of a citation must be examined.
Journal Citation
Electronic Journal Index
from EBSCO Host, Academic Search Premier
Print Journal Index
from Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. 1998 edition.
When bad quarters happen to good economics. J. C. Cooper and K. Madigan. il Business Week no3589 p27-8 Ag 3 '98
The basic components of a journal citation include article title, author name, name of source, volume and issue information, date of publication, and page numbers. For journals numbered only by issues, no volume information is provided. Many electronic indexes offer full text availability.
Book Citation
from ABELL.
Citation for a Chapter in a Book
from MLA Bibliography.
Books may be either entire works by one author or a collection of works by several authors. Users can usually determine this by identifying whether the term "author" or "editor" is used in a citation. Sometimes books will be referred to as monographs. The most common components of a book citation include author(s) or editor name(s), title, publisher, place of publication, and year of publication. Frequently a citation for a book will include a list of the book's contents. A citation for an individual book chapter will list the name of the chapter as well as the name of the book in which it is included. Search the online catalog to determine whether or not the complete book is included in the Library's holdings.
Book Review
from ACM Digital Library.
Book reviews are published in journals and newspapers within one to two years after the publication of the book and can be found in the source indicated in the citation.
Newspaper Citation Examples
Electronic Newspaper Index
from EBSCO Host, Newspaper Source.
Print Newspaper Index
from New York Times Index, 1998 edition.
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development praises Japan's strong economic growth, but calls on Japan to increase its people's living standards to help Japanese consume more and reduce that nation's huge trade surplus (L), D 27, IV, 12;4
Frequently no author will be listed for a newspaper article. In order to locate the referenced article, users have to rely upon the source, title, and section, page, and column information. For example, in the citation from the New York Times Index listed above, the referenced article is located on page 12, column 4 of section IV of the December 27th edition. The previous two weeks of all newspapers currently received by Lovejoy Library are kept in the Reserve Department at the Circulation Desk.
Government Document
The Detroit Handgun Intervention Program : a court-based program for youthful handgun offenders.[1998] National Institute of Justice (U.S)

Beginning Visual Basic 2005
Beginning Visual Basic 2005 by Thearon Willis and Bryan Newsome targets two groups of developers: new programmers who have chosen Visual Basic 2005 as their first language, or experienced programmers making their first foray into .NET development. At almost 800 pages, the book provides plenty of resources for both camps.
Wrox has a reputation for covering a topic in both depth and breadth, meaning someone unfamiliar with a topic can not only learn the basics, but also gain a detailed understanding of the subject and use the book as a reference in the future. This title is no different; it walks the reader step-by-step through everything a developer needs to build Windows Forms applications, including the basics of data types, controlling program flow, the Visual Studio 2005 IDE, object-oriented programming, Web services, debugging, and deployment.
Beginning Visual Basic 2005 is not aimed at ASP.NET developers, as it only dedicates two chapters to a brief overview of Web Forms development. However, its step-by-step approach makes it an ideal candidate for someone interested in learning Windows programming from scratch, regardless of whether they have software development experience.
The first five chapters serve as an introduction to .NET programming, including the installation and setup of Visual Studio 2005, an introduction to its interface through creation of a HelloUser application, a look at the .NET Framework, writing software for Windows, and the CLR. Chapters 3 and 4 target beginning programmers by exploring the basics of writing software: algorithms, variables, comments and whitespace, data types, debugging, scope, methods, and controlling program flow. Chapter 5 looks at arrays, for...each loops, enumerations, constants, structures, ArrayLists, and other collections.
In the next section, chapters 6-9 describe the specifics of Windows Forms development, including event-driven programming, forms, dialog boxes, and menus. Chapter 9 examines debugging applications in Visual Studio 2005, as well as structured error handling using exceptions and try-catch blocks.
Chapters 10-12 focus on object-oriented concepts, including encapsulation, methods, events, polymorphism, inheritance, namespaces, and garbage collection. Chapter 11 puts the object-oriented concepts to work as it walks through the creation of an Internet bookmark application. Chapter 12 covers class libraries, and chapter 13 explores the creation of custom controls.
The remainder of the book covers database programming with SQL Server and ADO.NET, takes a cursory look at ASP.NET Web Forms programming, Forms Authentication, Login Controls, XML, Web services, .NET Remoting, and application deployment, and briefly delves into building mobile applications.
It s obvious the authors put a lot of work into compiling all the information contained in this book, and even more time into honing their message to the intended audience of beginners. In roughly 800 pages, the authors cover every major aspect of .NET development. The one aspect I disliked were the somewhat unrelated chapters on programming custom graphics, Forms Authentication, and mobile applications. Because the book is so heavily focused on Windows Forms development, these chapters take the reader a little off course from the focus of the book.
Overall, the book is a weighty tome that requires a few weeks to read and digest. I was highly satisfied with the writing quality, sample applications, and code samples.

Singer Dionne Warwick claims in a recent bankruptcy filing that she owes nearly $10 million in back taxes and her monthly expenses exceed $20,000.
The South Orange resident and singer of classics such as "Walk On By," `'I Say a Little Prayer" and "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" filed a Chapter 7 petition in U.S. bankruptcy court in New Jersey last Thursday.
In the filing, the 72-year-old Warwick listed liabilities that include nearly $7 million owed to the Internal Revenue Service for the years 1991 to 1999 and more than $3 million in business taxes owed to the state of California.
Warwick, a cousin of the late Whitney Houston, also listed $20,950 in monthly income from royalties, retirement income and a contract with Culver City, Calif.-based Star Girl Productions. Her monthly expenses total $20,940 and include $5,000 for housekeeping/housesitting.
Warwick's publicist said that the singer was victimized by bad financial management in the 1990s and that she has paid back the actual amount of the taxes, but penalties and interest have accumulated over the years.

Harry's hint: Redknapp names two keepers on QPR bench for Man City match
Harry Redknapp dropped a none-too-subtle hint to QPR chairman Tony Fernandes by naming two goalkeepers on the bench for their match with Manchester City.
King of the wheeler-dealers, Redknapp has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his squad before the transfer window closes at 11pm on Thursday.
And his inclusion of both Robert Green and third-choice stopper Brian Murphy, with Julio Cesar keeping the No.1 jersey, among the seven Rangers subs was a clear message to Fernandes that Redknapp feels his squad is simply not strong enough to escape relegation.
Overall Redknapp made eight changes to the Rangers side embarrassed by MK Dons in the FA Cup on Saturday, with Fabio, Armand Traore and Esteban Granero the only survivors for the match at Loftus Road.
As expected, champions City were without striker Mario Balotelli who is expected to finalise a switch to AC Milan tomorrow. The game ended 0-0.

Represent Post Defiance
In August of 2012, Post Defiance enlisted artist Sean Alexander to create a design to be emblazoned upon t-shirts and totes. We instantly fell in love with the drawing he did for us– a whimsical compilation of images and elements of design that come together delightfully as a representation of Post Defiance.
Te final run of Sean Alexander-designed totes ($10) and t-shirts ($15) is now available for purchase at King's Books. Sales will be first-come-first-serve, so be sure to snap up your desired articles and accessories quickly.
We are also delighted to have debuted logo buttons and stickers designed by Kali Raisl and Shawn McAllister. This swag is also available at King's Books, and can also be purchased from any of the Post Defiance editors: Daniel Rahe, Timothy Thomas McNeely, Kate Albert Ward, and Katy Evans.
To further whet your appetite, we are proud to debut the design to be featured on our next round of Post Defiance Merchandise.
By Noah Struthers, the stunning illustration shows a book-laden sea floor occupied by Tacoma's iconic giant octopus, brandishing a colossal fountain pen. Thus far, Struthers' artwork has primarily been seen around Tacoma on posters promoting 2nd Cycle, the community bicycle center he founded, and in Fulcrum Gallery's Union Tac exhibition.
The projected release for merchandise featuring Struthers' design is August 2013.

Picked up two super cute squirrel w/pencil postcards from my favorite bottle shop, Pint Defiance, Halloween night. They were emblazoned with your web address. Thought they'd be GREAT for my middle school students to practice writing addresses/notes home on and hoped I could get more (You'd be amazed how many kids have no idea what an address looks like!) Unfortunately, I don't see a place on your website to order about 100 more. Are they still being made? Any info you can provide would be appreciated!

A Look At The Windows vs. Linux Scaling Performance Up To 64 Threads With The AMD 2990WX
This past week we looked at the Windows 10 vs. Linux performance for AMD's just-launched Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX and given the interest from that then ran some Windows Server benchmarks to see if the performance of this 64-thread CPU would be more competitive to Linux. From those Windows vs. Linux tests there has been much speculation that the performance disparity is due to Windows scheduler being less optimized for high core/thread count processors and its NUMA awareness being less vetted than the Linux kernel. For getting a better idea, here are benchmarks of Windows Server 2019 preview versus Ubuntu Linux when testing varying thread/core counts for the AMD Threadripper 2990WX. Toggled via the BIOS was SMT as well as various CCX configurations and each step of the way comparing the Windows Server 2019 Build 17733 performance to that of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with the Linux 4.18 kernel in various multi-threaded benchmarks supported under both operating systems.

Kate/KTextEditor Picks Up Many Improvements To Enhance KDE Text Editing
Even with KDE's annual Akademy conference happening this past week in Vienna, KDE development has been going strong especially on the usability front. The Kate text editor and the KTextEditor component within KDE Frameworks 5 have been the largest benefactors of recent improvements. This KDE text editing code now has support for disabling syntax highlighting entirely if preferred. When using syntax highlighting, there have been many KTextEditor enhancements to improve the experience as well as improvements to the highlighting for a variety of languages from JavaScript to YAML to AppArmor files.

text: A painter of figures, portraits, street scenes, and industrial landscapes, Rick Garland began his career as an illustrator but found he wanted more freedom to express his own emotions and ideas in his work. While his detailed depictions possess an impressive fidelity to reality, he is more concerned with capturing the emotive qualities of light and atmosphere than adhering to photorealism. In his large-scale works of abandoned factories, the presence of light becomes symbolic. In Past Reflections, the illumination of the plate-glass windows alongside the empty gray space functions as a nostalgic comment on the decline of the industrial workplace, while in The Light Beyond, the ethereal glow that beckons from outside the barren factory suggests a change of fate—a future filled with promise.

A professional caring Sevenoaks based counselling service for Adults
Adv. Dip. Humanistic Counselling MBACP (Accred.) UKRCP. BUPA Registered
You are here because you are having difficulties in some area of your life and have decided you need professional help to sort it out. Counselling is an excellent way of identifying your role in any relationship, and giving you the insight and understanding so you can make changes. My counselling room is also a great place to express yourself emotionally and be safe in the knowledge it is confidential.
If you are a newcomer to counselling and need to know a bit more about it, or can't decide whether its the right sort of help for you, I hope the information here may help you decide. Looking for someone you will find easy to talk to is a big step and an important decision to make.
Counselling language can be difficult to understand, off putting and vague. I have designed my website to be user friendly and free of counselling jargon. I also communicate in the same way in the counselling sessions themselves.
Education and Information
I find most clients want to understand why they think feel and behave they way they do. I feel part of my job is to pass on information I have learnt about the psychology of relationships, and educate clients about themselves so they can make better choices in the future.
I answer enquiries promptly and have appointment times to suit everyone. Consultations are available on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays during the day and evening. You can contact me by email, text or phone during normal office hours. Emails are picked up more regularly.
The practice is easy to find. I am just a few minutes from the A25, the M25, and Sevenoaks. There is ample free parking on the road.
Just round the corner from the practice are a number of local shops, with easy and free parking. A post office and two convenience stores, a dry cleaners, several take aways, and a hair and beauty salon.

"If you want to get technical, everyone I grew up with was probably a petty criminal, one way or another, not out of badness but because that was how people got by.

Adel Mohamed Nagi Arnaout, nicknamed the Vendetta bomber, was sentenced to an indefinite prison term on Wednesday in Ontario, Canada, for planned terrorist acts, including attempted poisonings, letter bombings and exploding packages.
Ontario Superior Court Judge Todd Ducharme pronounced Arnaout to be a dangerous offender with little hope for rehabilitation. Arnaout was arrested in 2007 as police found evidence that he had searched for tips on purchasing detonators, grenades, and biological and chemical weapons such as anthrax and sarin, the Globe and Mail reports.
"I found that his intent was to kill his targets," Ducharme said, according to the Globe and Mail. "Judged from the perspective of his intent, his actions closely resemble acts of terrorism but for the non-political, utterly banal nature of his cause. If Mr. Arnaout had been more competent, the results of his actions could have been truly horrific."
Arnaout created a list of 452 targets that included jails, courthouses, Jewish schools and government officials.
"Mr. Arnaout has a greatly magnified sense of his own victimhood," Ducharme said, according to the Globe and Mail. "He blames others for problems that either do not exist or that he has brought on himself. This is accompanied by a sense that he is entitled to avenge himself no matter how minor the original slight."
Police were convinced that Arnaout was serious about his plans and had tested some of his explosives on stuffed animals and dolls. Ducharme convicted Arnaout of 11 counts of attempted murder, three counts of delivering an explosive device and one count of possessing an explosive device.
"He lacks any remorse or guilt for his actions," Ducharme said, according to the Globe and Mail. "Indeed, he seems to believe that his actions were justified. Such a stunning lack of insight raises a very real concern about Mr. Arnaout engaging in similar activities in future."

Here in Chicagoland we didn't have the Snowpocalypse or snOMG that the East Coast got, but we did get a nice few inches, AND it wasn't that cold. The snow wasn't too wet either, though, so yesterday we figured it was the perfect day to take Daniel out and introduce him to that weather event that will be an integral part of his life, based on where we live: SNOW.
Here he is, so excited to go somewhere with Mommy and Daddy that doesn't involve getting in his car seat.
As you can see, he really wasn't sure what to think about it.
We did finally get him to play with some in his hand, though:

Battlefield 3 Aftermath DLC Going To Shake Things Up [TRAILER]
While we still get used to the ins and outs of the third Battlefield 3 expansion 'Armored Kill', the guys at Electronic Arts and DICE are already readying themselves to unleash the expansion Battlefield 3 Aftermath to the gaming public. To start proceedings, they've released the official premiere trailer for Aftermath and we have plenty to look forward too, including a brand new game mode and umm …. a new Scoped Crossbow!
Set in the shattered districts, streets and villages of a post-earthquake Iran, Battlefield 3 Aftermath depicts a continuing struggle for supremacy and survival amongst the devastation. With operational capacity severely compromised, players will fight through the dust and rubble in a vertical and horizontal urban combat setting.
Aftermath will roll out this November 27th for PlayStation 3 Premium members, and slowly make it to other platforms throughout December. The expansion will ship with four maps, featuring streets and cities of a post-earthquake Iran, with two confirmed so far as Epicenter(shown in trailer) and Markaz Monolith.
We will also see a new game mode with Aftermath in Scavenger Mode, which really speaks for itself. Soldiers will be thrust into one of the four maps with only a pistol, and will need to search the map for more powerful weapons to survive. If you end up finding the Scoped Crossbow, which is the newest weapon to the growing Battlefield 3 armory, then you're in luck, as it comes with 4 different types of ammunition and looks really sick!
We also have three new vehicles, ten new assignments, ten new dog tags, and five achievements/trophies to look forward too. We can expect the expansion to rollout at the same price as previous packs at $14.99 on PlayStation 3 and PC, and 1200 Microsoft points on Xbox 360.
Will you be picking up Battlefield 3 Aftermath? Maybe the trailer below can sway you towards it. Make sure to leave your thoughts in the comment section and check out our Facebook page for more of today's gaming news.

Snowbird, Utah
11,000 feet
drop: 3,240 feet
460 inches
Getting There:
From the Salt Lake airport, take I-80 East to I-215 South, then 6200 South/UT-190 to Wasatch Boulevard/UT-210 to Snowbird.
800-232-9542; snowbird.com
The Mormons may have established Salt Lake City as the Kingdom of God on Earth, but they undershot powder heaven by almost 30 miles. Just ask the skiing tribes who've come to regard nearby Little Cottonwood Canyon-home to Snowbird and some of Utah's best highway-accessed hike-to lines-as skiing's Holy Land. If you're not among the converted, just wait for the next two-foot storm: When the 'Bird's steeple-tight chutes, cathedral bowls, and technical ridgelines fill with Wasatch feathers, the most cynical skiers on earth have been known to quit their day jobs and become power-of-powder evangelicals.
Powder Day:
Prevailing winds pick up snow in Gad Valley and dump it onto the east-facing Cirque. From the Tram, follow the ridge north and drop through the second gate into Silver Fox, where 40-degree chutes plunge into a powder field.
Three Days Later:West of the tram-zone traffic jam, Tiger Tail and Thunder Bowl are two vast, treed areas-with consistent 30- to 35-degree pitches and secret clearings. Access them via the Gad 2 Lift.
The Riding:The 'Bird's terrain is all fall line, which means lots of side-hilling (but little traversing). Head to Mineral Basin for huckable cliffs with pillow-soft landings-and a four-minute ride back up.
Proving Grounds:Marquee route: An 825-foot-long, 25-foot-wide, and 45-degree chute within ogle view of the Tram, Great Scott is a knee-wobbler-rocky, narrow, steep, and exposed. Trust us, you won't be worrying about the gawkers.
Off-Broadway: The 40-degree shots in Anderson's Trees, left of the Cirque (ask a local, they're not marked), line up like dime store aisles: tight, short, and straight.
Backcountry Access:Head to Flagstaff Peak, across the highway from Alta, for hour-long hikes to shady powder shots. For guided backcountry trips, contact the Utah base of Alaska Mountain Guides (utahmountain- guides.com). But first, check out Snowbird's new Rescue Training Center, where you can conduct a simulated three-victim search and get feedback on your technique (avalanche.org for conditions; 801-933-2156 for rescue training).
Weather:Storms sweep in from the west-northwest, gather moisture from Great Salt Lake, and fill Little Cottonwood Canyon with up to 150 inches a month. Go in March for the biggest dumps.
ApréFor live music, dollar tacos, and Utah's largest tequila selection (seriously, it's impressive), grab a seat in the Keyhole Cantina in the Cliff Lodge.
Fuel:Dollar tacos. 'Nuff said. But if you want to scale up a bit, sit down for a Sapporo and sushi rolls at the Aerie Lounge, on the top floor of the Cliff Lodge.
Up All Night:The vodka-and-Red-Bull crowd (you know who you are) will love the Tram Club, an '80s throwback with a smoky, neon aesthetic that keeps the party going until the wee hours.
Digs:Sure, it's cheaper to stay in Salt Lake, but sleep in Little Cottonwood if you don't wantto get locked outside the gates on a huge powder day. The cheapest, closest option is the American Express Early Week Package at The Inn: Book Sunday through Thursday with your AmEx and get one night of slopeside lodging and one day of skiing for $99 (800-232-9542; snowbird.com).
Essential Gear:There's no time for a water stop when you're trying to set a new tram-lap record. The winterized Camelbak Zoid holds 72 ounces of H2O, car keys, and a snack ($55; camelbak.com).

Programme overview
This programme, accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), aims to train graduates from a non-psychology background in the theories of cognition, behaviour and the brain, and in the experimental research methods used to develop and test these theories.
The programme covers various core areas of psychology: social psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, biological psychology, individual differences, research methods (quantitative and qualitative) and statistics. Our aim is to provide you with a good understanding of the interplay between these different areas of the field and the pivotal role of empirical evidence in theory development within these areas.
You will acquire a range of research skills for scientific investigation of psychological questions, culminating in an original empirical research project. The programme employs a variety of teaching and assessment methods, and will provide you with a range of generic, transferable skills (eg teamwork, numerical competence, and oral and written communication skills).
These skills are highly valued by employers and the programme is excellent preparation for a wide range of careers that involve some element of psychological knowledge. MSc Experimental Psychology (conversion) also prepares non-psychology graduates for further postgraduate study in psychology, such as more clinically oriented postgraduate programmes or postgraduate research degrees.

Political warfare in Sub-Saharan Africa: Army monograph looks at US capabilities & Chinese operations
A summary of a monograph by Donovan Chau, reprinted from the US Army War College Strategic Studies Institute.
Today, as in the past, the People's Republic of China (PRC) exerts influence on the African continent. Unlike the United States, which also attempts to sway African nations and people, the PRC uses an instrument of grand strategy called political warfare as its primary means of influence. What is political warfare, and how is it being employed in Africa today? How do U.S. capabilities compare to PRC operations and capabilities in Africa? The monograph answers these and other questions to inform the current national security debate among U.S. policy and decisionmakers. For while the struggle against international terrorism will continue indefinitely, the U.S. Government must not overlook other grand strategic challenges currently taking place around the world.
The monograph (download here: PW in SubSaharan Africa) explains political warfare in its historic context and offers a current definition. Simply, political warfare is a nonviolent instrument of grand strategy, involves coordinated activities, and results in tangible effects on intended targets. In operational terms, political warfare includes economic aid and development assistance, as well as training, equipping, and arming military and security forces. Exchange visits and public pronouncements are secondary political warfare operations, supporting and facilitating primary operations. Political warfare offers distinct advantages to other instruments of grand strategy, making it a desirable means of exerting influence. Vis-à-vis other instruments – particularly military power – political warfare is economical. Though results may not appear immediately, using political warfare has grand strategic benefits, from information-gathering to relation- ship-building. Moreover, political warfare may potentially garner prestige and a positive reputation around the world.
The U.S. Government possesses numerous political warfare capabilities, though they may not be viewed as such. From the U.S. Army and other armed services to the State Department and the Agency for International Development, U.S. capabilities exist but are not being used to their full potential or in a coordinated manner. Meanwhile, another country is intentionally targeting U.S. policy in Africa through the use of political warfare.
Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa are considered regional ?anchor? states according to U.S. national security policy. Since 2000, the PRC has expanded political warfare operations in these four countries. The monograph examines PRC political warfare operations in each country.
- The first case highlights how the PRC used political warfare to gain access to and develop opportunities in Ethiopia. Using donations to the Ethiopian government and people as well as to the African Union (and its predecessor), Beijing attained government contracts, signed agreements, and cultivated bilateral relations.
- The PRC used political warfare to move relations with Kenya to a higher level. PRC operations expanded China?s reach into the information, education, and infrastructure development areas of Kenya.
- PRC operations were diverse and directed at influencing the people and government of Nigeria, particularly state governments. PRC political warfare operations affected all aspects of Nigerian society, furthering PRC interests in the country.
- Gaining South Africa?s allegiance had the benefit of weakening Taiwan?s global diplomatic status, which was part and parcel of the primary objective of Chinese grand strategy. PRC operations in South Africa were used to attain cooperation in technical and scientific fields.
Comparing PRC operations and U.S. capabilities, the monograph underscores the lack of political warfare in America?s current grand strategy. Educating and deploying the U.S. military to conduct political warfare in Africa is an immediate, short-term solution. In the long term, however, a civilian U.S. Government agency must lead the political warfare charge abroad. This will require political leadership as well as prudent policy. Most importantly, national security policy and decisionmakers must come to the realization that how operations are conducted is as important as what operations are performed
In October 2005, U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion THREE began rebuilding and constructing water wells in Ethiopia. ?Being in a place like this where water is so hard to come by and knowing we?re giving people water who?ve never had water before . . . this is a really rewarding mission to be on,? said Steel Worker Third Class Jared M. Perry.1 That same month, U.S. troops on patrol nearby discovered two cheetah cubs tied up with ropes around their necks at a restaurant, where the cubs were forced to fight each other for the amusement of patrons and village children. The soldiers alerted the Ethiopian government, the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia, and a U.S.-based cheetah rescue organization, eventually flying the two cubs to the National Palace in Addis Ababa. ?This is the first kind of rescue of animals, let alone cheetahs, that we have done,? said Army Sgt. Leah Cobble.2 The following month, a U.S. Army Civil Affairs team held a 3-day clinic to treat the sick from six villages surrounding Gode, Ethiopia. ?We treated everything from minor injuries such as cuts to severe long-term injuries,? said Army Staff Sgt. John Dominguez, a civil affairs medic.3
Meanwhile, about the same time west across the African continent, it was reported that the People?s Republic of China (the PRC or Beijing) would help Nigeria drill 598 boreholes in Nigeria?s capital, Abuja, as well as 18 states?all as a free aid project. The free water supply project was ?aimed at providing clean drinkable water to ordinary Nigerians living in out-of-the-way areas,? said PRC Ambassador to Nigeria Wang Yongqiu.4 Nigerian Minister of Water Resources Alhaji Muktar Shagari later remarked, the project ?is a typical example of bilateral cooperation? between Nigeria and the PRC, and appealed to other countries to ?learn from China.?5 Also in October 2005, it was reported that Beijing donated $3 million worth of military equipment to Nigeria. The equipment included ?two special vehicles, emergency runway systems, bullet proof helmets and vests, communication gadgets, computers, uniforms and diving devices.?6 Ambassador to Nigeria Wang later mentioned that 21 Chinese ?experts? would arrive in Nigeria in November to train Nigerian soldiers on how to use the equipment.7
What do these actions by the United States and PRC governments mean, and why are they relevant today? These events in two strategically-located countries in East and West Africa are examples of governmental efforts to conduct an instrument of grand strategy called political warfare.8 Both the United States and the PRC were using nonviolent means in a coordinated (or semi-coordinated) manner to directly affect the targeted population. They were using political warfare to achieve their national objectives. But what is political warfare, and why is this instrument of grand strategy being used by two of the world?s dominant powers on the African continent today?

Welcome to this ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 review. We are going to take a very good look at this new release from the house of ASUS. This gaming laptop is priced reasonably and many gamers have already said that this is a very good gaming laptop in a budget. Are you looking to get yourself a gaming machine that doesn't cost you an arm or leg? Then this machine should concern you. Read this full review to know more.
The design of this model follows the same elements in the ROG series. They take the same black and red color scheme and have incorporated it beautifully, yet again. It is bulkier than most of the laptops but the good thing they haven't compromised on anything else. If you are looking for a sleek laptop, gaming laptops aren't for you. All the essential ports can be found at the sides. The backlit keyboard is a beauty and adds the extra something you need for your gaming experience. You get a very nice feedback when you hit a key and that makes it a great keypad for typing. The touch pad is responsive as ever and nothing new here.
ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 Specs
If you are a true gamer, you'll need an excellent display. The display here is a 15.6 inch, 1080p IPS screen which comes with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. This is surely one of the best screens for gaming in the present day. The IPS panel gives you excellent viewing angle and that's a great plus.
The refresh rates are also good which means you won't miss any of the action, even for a split second. The only thing that is missing here is a touchscreen but we're nitpicking. If you see this display personally, you'll fall in love with it instantly.
The ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 gaming laptop is powered by an Intel core i7 processor. This 4th gen i7 4720HQ is a high performance processor that is based on the Haswell architecture. This chip clocks at 2.6GHz and with the help of turbo boost, it can go up to 3.6GHz.
It is without doubt one of the best processors now. It can run pretty much game and any other third party software. If you are a photo or video editor, you'll enjoy the speed and flexibility this processor offers. For gamers and hardcore user, this is a very good bargain for a processor.
There are 16 gigs of RAM in the memory department. This looks like the sweet spot for your gaming needs. As most of the games involve too much happening at the same time, this RAM will come to your rescue and see that you gaming experience is not interrupted.
Though 16GB of RAM might be overkill for some, it is important to be future proof. Even for running from very high end applications like Adobe Premiere, this RAM is the just the right amount of memory. If you need more, you can upgrade it to more in the future.
The hard drive comes with a capacity of 1TB and a speed of 7200RPM. This is a lot of storage even for someone who has a ton of games. The speed is also just right so that there is a balance between speed and space. You also get a 128GB SSD which is an excellent performance booster. This makes sure you Windows boots up in just a few seconds and the same can be said for the same.
The operating system here is Windows 8.1 which is the latest from MS, though it surely isn't the most favorite one. Microsoft recently announced that every genuine Windows user can freely upgrade to Windows 10 this summer, which is a good move from them to retain their user base.
Let's come to the juicy part of the ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 specs. The graphics card we have here is the Nvidia GeForce GTX960M. This GPU comes with 2GB of dedicated RAM. It is one of the best graphics cards, even if outdated a bit.
You can play most of the high end games like Hitman Absolution, Thief and Cysis 3. If you need a gaming laptop on a budget you have to settle for the second best, which is very true in this case.
The laptop is pretty armed in terms of connectivity. You get support for 802.11a/c and Bluetooth 4.0 standards. There are 3 USB 3.0 ports which are great for high speed data transfer. The front HD webcam is just what you need to make video calls with your friends and family. There is also a card reader which could come in handy for some.
This ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 review has come to its end and it's now time to know if this new laptop is worth your hard earned money. This ROG gaming device is just as good as the previous models in the same line. If provides you an option to game at a budget. If you are in a budget and need a nice gaming laptop, look no further.

AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Avondale's Friendship Park will be closed for the next few weeks due to damage caused by Monday's storm.
The City of Avondale said Wednesday that the park will likely remain closed until Sept. 13.
The high winds associated with Monday's storm knocked over several trees at Friendship Park, resulting in damaged park structures and downed light poles.
Repairs will have to be made before the park will be able to open.
"Friendship Park is the busiest park in Avondale, based on its convenient location, and large array of amenities," said Chris Reams, Director of Parks, Recreation and Libraries. "We ask for the public's patience as we work on repairing the park from the damage sustained by the recent storm."
If you have any questions about the closure of Friendship Park call Parks, Recreation & Libraries at 623-333-2400.

Children at Sparken Hill Academy in Worksop hosted a special Mother's Day breakfast last week.
The mums tucked into warm croissants, hot cross buns and fruit salad before the kids then handed over their Mother's Day cards they had made.
One parent said: "I've really enjoyed spending time with my son and having a special breakfast, it means the world to the children."
Mums and carers later enjoyed a Mother's Day lunch, organised by the Sparken Hill Community Team.
They enjoyed a roast dinner and pudding and the event was so popular the school has organised another lunch to accommodate all the families.
A school spokesman said: "We are always organising events and activities for our children and parents to take part in, for example, junk model making, cooking, jewellery making and many more."

Reviewed by Aidan G. (age 7)
I liked the book because there was a lot of action and something was always happening. The author has a funny sense of humor. Professor Sherman has funny thoughts like wanting to fly a hot air balloon to school so the wind might accidentally take him another direction. He was tired of being a math teacher.
My favorite part was when the island volcano erupted. All of the characters had to rush to escape and they were trapped in the hot air balloon right over the volcano. This story takes place in the late 1800s when Krakatoa really erupted.
The story made me think of how people act when they are very wealthy. The Krakatoans had a diamond mine on the island but there was nothing for them to purchase there. It was silly, but smart what they did with their diamonds. However, I'll let you read the story to find out how they shared their wealth.
I recommend this story to kids who really like adventure. These adventures came really quickly and made the book a fast read. It kept me very interested. If you like an author with a silly imagination- and with a lot of room for your imagination- read this book.

The Sessions band, four years old when Morning Sunrise was recorded in December '99, is a sturdy, swinging ensemble that performs quite well within its chosen realm of jazz and popular standards. Included are two compositions by Horace Silver, one by Thelonious Monk, Neal Hefti's "Girl Talk," Ray Noble's "Cherokee," W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues," the standards "Just Friends" and "Green Dolphin Street," Sigmund Romberg / Oscar Hammerstein's "Morning Sunrise" from the Broadway operetta The New Moon, and crooner Buddy Clark's hit song from the late '40s, "Linda." The bang-up arrangements are by Lee Hyde (three), Tom Kubis, Bill King (two each), Bill Archer, Paul Westcott and Dan Eubanks.
There are a number of admirable soloists, most notably saxophonists Larry Smith and James Warfield Jr., trombonist Kurt Silver and trumpeters George Pierce and Randy Holmes. Ellis, who led the 'bone section, adds charming solos on "Girl Talk," "Morning Sunrise" and "Green Dolphin Street." Pianist Carolbeth True is an able accompanist, and the rhythm section (True, bassist Jay Hungerford, drummer Kevin Gianino) cooks with gusto. A lively and entertaining album.
The band nestles in a similar groove on Tribute with much the same result, complementing eight pleasurable standards with Jimmy Forrest's "Night Train," Gene Roland's "Formula SK32," Willie Maiden's "A Little Minor Booze," Sammy Nestico's "Wind Machine," John Oddo's "Especially for You" and Bob Mintzer's vigorous title song. Trumpeter Pierce and saxophonist Larry Smith are no longer on board, but their successors, Dan Smith and Bill Archer, perform quite cabably, and the band has added a singer, Sherry Drake, who croons and scats on the standards "It Could Happen to You," "But Beautiful" and "There Will Never Be Another You." Pianist True continues to impress (soloing brightly on "Look for the Silver Lining," "My Funny Valentine," "Time After Time" and "Wind Machine"), as does the rhythm section as a whole. Warfield's sleek soprano is featured on "Especially for You," his buoyant tenor on "Night Train," "It Could Happen," "Who Can I Turn To" and "Wind Machine."
Ellis is heard more often, soloing on the first four tracks, and there is further engaging commentary by trumpeters Holmes and Steve Schankman, bassist Hungerford, alto Mike Karpowicz, trombonists Tom Vincent and Dan Potter, tenor George Geschwend and guest pianist Kim Portnoy ("Tribute"). I don't know what's to become of the Sessions Big Band now that Ellis is no longer there to steer the craft, but I harbor the hope that others may put their shoulders to the wheel and keep it moving forward. We need more big bands of this caliber, not less.

Moeck 5333 Denner Alt a1= 442 Hz
Moeck 5333 Denner, Boxwood, Tuning: 442 Hz. Contents: Box, cleaning rod and cloth, cork grease, certificate with manual for maintenance, fingering chart and maintenance kit. Compared to our Stanesby, which has a full, mellow tone and an unusual wide dynamic range for a baroque recorder, the Denner speaks clearly and effortlessly and the tone colour is perfectly balanced in all registers. It has a slender and refined tone with a brilliance to it rendering it ideal for solo playing. This agile instrument is most reliable in all registers and is therefore particularly suitable for virtuoso music with a lot of fast notes involved such as for instance in the works of G. Ph.Telemann.

Colombia offer to defecting guerrillas prompts rights group criticism
[JURIST] Colombian President Alvaro Uribe [official profile, in Spanish] has called for Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) [CFR backgrounder] guerrillas to abandon arms and release political hostages, promising those who respond to the call a reward and freedom. Uribe Wednesday likened the offered terms to a "humanitarian exchange" [press release, in Spanish]. He specified that he was not promising amnesty or an official pardon, but he did promise that defecting guerrillas who free a hostage and who may have other serious charges against them will be entitled to a reward and freedom. This promise extends [El Tiempo report, in Spanish] even to guerrilla leadership in an effort to weaken FARC forces, according to Peace Commissioner Luis Carlos Restrepo [official profile, in Spanish]. Restrepo has the responsibility of devising a legal framework to enable the president's political decision. Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] condemned Uribe's proposal, issuing a statement [press release] that perpetrators of human rights abuses such as hostage-takers "must be investigated and tried."
Uribe issued his promise on the same day that the first guerrilla member to defect and receive both a monetary reward and acceptance in France left Colombia [Guardian report]. France has pledged to give asylum to guerrillas who abandon arms under certain conditions that include clearance from the General Prosecutor of the Nation that they have no serious charges pending against them. The UN Commissioner for Human Rights in November reported [JURIST report] that the hostage situation is a large component of the systematic and widespread human rights violations in Colombia.

He plays the unfaithful boyfriend of Johan Paulik's chracter and they have numerous and graphic sex scenes (without going over the top into actual porn - this is about as hot as soft core can get.

In his article that appeared today in the Daily Inquirer, one of my favorite writers, Conrado de Quiros, talks about his experience in an airport while on a nine-hour layover in Bangkok en route to the Philippines. He talks about his observation that Filipinos have not grown accustomed to reading to while away the time. Instead, they go shopping, "window or otherwise". Not a good sign for our sagging economy considering that these shoppers are purchasing products not produced in our country.
I have had the same impression everywhere I go. While I enjoy reading, amid puffs from my cigarette, while waiting, say for a friend, I also observed that most Filipinos would go to malls and shop rather than be caught with a good book in hand, mesmerized by the information, awed by the beauty of language and how this is used, that can be had while reading. I do not know how many students are reading a book not because it is required but because he/she enjoys reading per se.
I have often told my children how beneficial reading can be. To my disappointment, I don't think it is sinking in. Except for my eldest, the other three would not even touch a book that is not required reading in school. They'd rather go to the internet and do something else. My only wish is that they have not yet realized how fun reading a book can be.
Reading takes us to a wide gamut of adventures; prepares us to face the unknown; gives us first hand information that cannot be had from any other source; teaches us how to analyze, think and express ourselves in a clear, cohesive and organized manner;shows us how others think and respond to certain stimuli, among other things. If only I can motivate my children any further...
Interestingly, to the very few who do read, what kind of books are being read by Filipinos? Fellow blogger and online friend Gilbert reproduced an article written by Queena Lee Chua which discussed, among other things, some facts about reading and the Filipino. We find what kinds of books are being read, how much time is being spent on reading, etc...
With the internet coming of age, I wonder what effect this will do to reading. How will the future generation read? Will the computer strengthen reading or have we seen its further decline? What is the effect of having an information readily available at a simple click on the mouse, where such can be given in a short, comprehensible manner? Will this eliminate the thirst for more knowledge making the reader lose some information that can be vital?
But then, what am I worried about? As Conrado de Quiros has observed, we are not a country of readers anyway. What is there to lose?
I say, a lot!

Special equipment: a heavy-duty half-sheet pan, optional (see headnote)
Position 2 oven racks on the highest and lowest settings and place a heavy-duty rimmed half-sheet pan on the bottom rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oregano, the zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side up in the center of the heated baking sheet and return to the oven while you prepare the vegetables.
In a second bowl, toss the potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the lemon halves, the remaining lemon zest the remaining 2 tablespoons oregano,1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Spread the vegetables and lemons (cut-side up) around the chicken on the sheet pan and roast on the bottom oven rack for 10 minutes. Move the sheet pan to the top rack and roast until the vegetables are tender and the chicken skin is crispy and the meat registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes more. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter and keep warm. Remove the lemon halves to a cutting board to cool for a minute.
Set the sheet pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat and bring the pan juices to a boil. Squeeze in the lemon juice, reduce the heat to a simmer and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Scrape up the crusty bits from the bottom of the sheet pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate into the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the juices over the vegetables, garnish with oregano sprigs and serve.

Reasons to Hire a Property Management Company
Many landlords and property owners are using the services of property management companies for obvious reasons. This is the only way to relieve you the stress of managing your property and allow you to relax or do other activities. This is where property management comes in to help you in all aspects of managing your property from contract formation, advertising, repairs and every other activity that you might want. Many property owners do other things on the side, so the process of managing property becomes too tedious and involving to handle.
Why do property owners hire management companies?
Multiple properties
As a property owner, if you have more than one property, management might be very difficult. Sometimes it will require you to leave all you are doing and concentrate on property management.
Many landlords want to delegate the function of management of the property to a manager. These companies do the work in a very efficient way and relieve you the burden of doing it on your own.
You live far from the property
There are instances where the property you have is far from where you live. This can be a very tricky situation because you can't get time to keep traveling to the property. In such instances, it becomes very difficult to manage the property, and this is where you need a company to do the management for you.
A property manager will do all the activities pertaining management and keep updating you from time to time. You don't have to be physically present every time to check on the property.
You don't have time
Property management is a full-time job. If you want to manage your property on your own, then you have to be available anytime you are required. The many activities of management cannot allow you to do any other job, so it is important that you delegate the job to someone else. This is someone who will relieve you the time that you could have used in managing the property on your own.
You lack the knowledge
Many people might not know this, but property management requires some level of skill from you. You just can't work up and decide to do it on your own. If you want someone who has the knowledge and experience in property management, then you better hire a professional.
Although they will take a small commission from you, you will be guaranteed that your property is in safe hands, and you don't have the stress involved in the process.
