These pioneers in the torture rehabilitation movement founded the first program in the United States dedicated to treating torture survivors years before torture was legally defined. As refugees themselves, they understood the difficulties of dealing with trauma while simultaneously having to rebuild a support system of friends, family and employment.
In Chile, Dr. Quiroga was a personal physician to democratically elected president Salvador Allende. He watched from inside the government palace as soldiers went from room to room randomly selecting civilians to execute during General Pinochet's brutal military coup backed by the United States in 1973. Dr. Quiroga was severely beaten and tortured, but thankfully his life was spared. Four years later, in 1977, he accepted a position at the UCLA School of Public Health and moved his family to the United States.
Meanwhile, Ms. Deutsch, a psychologist, had fled Argentina's "Dirty War" in 1977 after those involved in opposition activities were threatened with arrest by the military dictatorship. The rest of her family arrived in the U.S. the following year, after they were released from prison. They had been kidnapped and tortured, like so many other victims of the military junta.
Dr. Quiroga and Ms. Deutsch met in Los Angeles in 1979. They began working on an aggressive campaign against torture with the Los Angeles Amnesty International Medical Group. The organization was conducting a study documenting cases of torture and the consequences for refugees and asylum-seekers in the United States. Dr. Quiroga assessed the medical consequences of torture while Ms. Deutsch assessed the victims' psychological well-being. However, Amnesty International decided that they, as an organization, were unable to provide direct treatment to torture survivors.
Dr. Quiroga and Ms. Deutsch knew that the torture survivors with whom they had been working needed rehabilitation services and decided to start an independent program. And so, in 1980, North America's first torture rehabilitation program was launched.
After the study by the Amnesty International Medical Group was completed, Dr. Quiroga presented it to the American Psychological Association. This was among the first research on the medical and psychological consequences of torture. Dr Quiroga and Ms. Deutsch quickly became known as experts treating victims of torture. It wasn't until 1987, years after PTV began, that the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment was enforced and torture was legally recognized and defined for the first time.
From the beginning, PTV established a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation of torture survivors that included medical, psychological, case management and legal services. Dr. Quiroga and Ms. Deutsch had begun to treat clients in local clinics and in their own homes. Partnering with organizations such as Clinica Monseñor Oscar A. Romero, El Rescate, CARECEN and Amanecer, PTV quickly became well known in the Central American refugee community. Dr. Quiroga, having already been a volunteer at Venice Family Clinic for years, formed a partnership in which he was able to use their facilities to see PTV patients.
In 1994, PTV received its first grant from the United Nations Voluntary Fund and was incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Several years later, in 2000, PTV received a federal grant for $2 million over a four-year period, allowing PTV to add staff and relocate the administrative office from Ms. Deutsch's home to Mercado La Paloma, near downtown Los Angeles. With paid staff and a central office, PTV was finally able to greatly expand its scope to include social service and peer support programs. Over the years, Dr. Quiroga and Ms. Deutsch have won numerous prestigious awards and have worked internationally in court cases, trainings and other avenues advocating against torture.
Both founders retired from PTV in 2014, after more than 34 years of service. They remain as important volunteers in our treatment team and also serve as advisers and trainers to PTV's staff.
In 2015, PTV moved to a larger, more accessible office in Koreatown, just one block from the Metro. A new partnership with the USC Eisner Family Medical Center and the USC Keck Medical School allowed PTV to dramatically increase the capacity and scope of the PTV Human Rights Health Clinic. All survivors, regardless of medical insurance coverage, have access to a PTV primary care physician and specialty care.

programming new VIN to used bcm for GM
I am new to IATN. I have purchased several computers to program cars and light trucks in the Gallatin, TN area as there are only dealership options open to repair shops right now and they require long towing as everything here is very spread out. I am using CardaqM, Tech2, and Ford IDS. (this question is related to GM so the Tech2 would be my main source because even with Tech2software in the CardaqM the Tech2 seems to work better on GM) I can program most pcm's with no problem but when tying to program used bcm to a different VIN number many will not let me change VIN only options. does anyone know of a way to change VIN on a used BCM. let me state that I would never try to replace a BCM with anything other than a BCM with the same part number and calibration as the original.

ANKARA – Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has expressed that the US and the West were not conspiring against the multi-billion dollars CPEC, but added that some regional powers were unhappy with the project.
Talking to newsmen in Ankara on the final day of his three-day official visit, he shrugged off any conspiracy hatched by western powers and claimed some of them were keen to join the project.
'Turkish participation in the CPEC along with Central Asian states would give a boost to the project' said Nawaz Sharif.
He expressed that his future vision was to establish linkages with the Central Asian republics from Khunjarab to China to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
Nawaz Sharif claimed that his visit to Turkey was significant in strengthening bilateral ties and economic prospects.
Regarding Pak-Afghan relations, he opined that Pakistan was helping Afghanistan in bringing stability and peace and was still prepared to do the same.
'Peaceful Afghanistan was in the interest of Pakistan and the region' he reiterated.
The premier maintained that Pakistan believed in decency and never responded to Afghan allegations in the same coin and refrained from using obnoxious language about it.
He also took a sarcastic jibe at political rival Imran khan and said 'We even didn't respond to Imran Khan in the language he talks.'
To a question about irresponsible reporting by multiple media outlets about the Gulberg blast hoax in Lahore, the prime minister said it was extremely positive that discussions against such irresponsible reporting had started from within the media, as self-accountability was the best way forward.
Nawaz Sharif said a decision regarding the revival of military courts would be taken soon as a consensus was reached.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was on a three-day official visit to Turkey where he co-chaired a meeting of 5th Session of the Pakistan-Turkey High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council.

Hi All,
We are considering sheet level security for a small number of applications in our environment. Most of our security so far has been setup at a stream and/or object type level. But from reading Sheet or App Object Level Security Qlik Sense I can see that it is technically possible.
Does any body have any experiences they can share on doing this? How well did work? Were there any gotchas to watch out for?
Best regards


text: I ordered one a little bit ago because it came with Link's Crossbow Training, and I'm a sucker for arcade-style games like that. Incidentally, the little plastic gun-shaped wiimote box is actually pretty nice. I've been playing HotD Overkill with it, and it is awesome. I was among the skeptics...I mean, really. It's a ridiculous concept to do this, but it's as comfortable as a wavebird, with the feel of a light gun! Anyone else buy this hunk o' junk?

LONGUEUIL, Que. – The Montreal Canadiens are keeping mum on what could be a serious injury to top defenceman Andrei Markov.
The team—which is notoriously tight-lipped in situations like these—won't confirm reports the Russian star might be gone for up to three months.
The team says more tests will be conducted this week.
The Habs will only say that Markov is suffering from a lower-body injury and will miss their next game.
The oft-injured star, who has played little hockey these last two seasons, appeared to hurt his right knee in an awkward spill during Saturday's 7-2 win over Carolina.

Product Information
Tripwire Log Center
Starting at $19,900 for 500 EPS
Quick Read
Strengths: Integrates with Tripwire Enterprise for added analysis functionality.
Weaknesses: Documentation could have included a separate user manual.
Verdict: An important part of the Tripwire suite. If you're a Tripwire shop, give this one a very close look.
The Tripwire Log Center captures and collects logs from several devices and network sources and stores them in their raw unaltered state for correlation and analysis. This product also features log management capabilities for complete cataloging of logs and events for compliance and forensic analysis.
We found the installation of this product to be easy and straightforward. The software itself is comprised of two installers. The first is the Log Center services and database integration setup, and the second is the Log Center Console. After installation, all configuration and management is done through the Log Center Console application. We found this console to be nicely organized with an intuitive design. The console can also be set up and customized with two different layouts to fit users' specific needs.
This product can also be integrated with Tripewire's Enterprise platform to add the capture of change information. With this integration, the user can place correlation results from both Log Center and Enterprise, and determine if suspicious activity is malicious or just an anomaly.
Documentation included an installation guide, as well as an online help document. The installation illustrates all the steps necessary to get the software up and running and includes a detailed step-by-step procedure. The help file provides a great amount of detail on how to use and configure the product complete with many step-by-step instruction that are easy to follow, as well as many screen shots. We would have liked to see an actual user guide, but this help file was sufficient for our needs.
Tripwire provides many support options as part of two support plans that can be purchased as part of maintenance agreements. Some of these options include 24/7 phone and email support, product updates and upgrades, and access to an online support portal with a knowledge base, user forum and many other support resources.
At a price starting at just under $20,000, we find this product to be a good value for the money. Log Center provides a nice amount of correlation features, as well as forensic capabilities in an easy-to-use application.

|This article describes a futures contract with a discrete termination or delivery date. View articles referencing this futures contract.
Eurodollar futures are a way for companies and banks to lock in an interest rate today, for money it intends to borrow or lend in the future. They are traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), and are the most widely traded futures in the world, with open interest (number of contracts outstanding) typically in the 7 to 9 million range for the shortest maturity futures.[1]
Eurodollar futures are a cash settled futures contract on an interest rate for a 3 month loan with a $1 million notional value. They are essentially the futures equivalent of forward rate agreements (FRAs). However, because Eurodollar futures are exchange traded, they offer greater liquidity and lower transaction costs, but can not be customized like over the counter (OTC) FRAs. Since Eurodollar futures are margined, there is virtually no credit risk because any gains or losses are marked to market, or in other words they are paid daily. As such, if interest rates move in your favor, you receive cash compensation that day rather than waiting until expiry; these settlements are done every day. Since the contract is cash settled, no loan is actually extended even though the contract mentions a notional principal amount.
Many banks and large corporations will use Eurodollar futures to hedge future interest rate exposure. Sellers hedge against the risk of rising interest rates, while buyers hedge against the risk of falling interest rates. Other parties that use Eurodollar futures are speculators purely looking to make bets on future directional changes in interest rates.
Pricing of Eurodollar futures is unique in the sense that it is quoted as numerical price, despite the fact that it is an interest rate. The price quoted is simply 100 minus the implied interest rate. For instance, a price of 95.00 means an interest rate of 5.0%, while a price of 93.00 implies an interest rate of 7.0%.
Consider Company Z on March 1, 2009, which due to unforeseen circumstances must now find $10 million for an expenditure that will occur on June 1, 2009. Company Z expects to generate revenue over time, and the company expects to be able to repay this amount on September 1, 2009. Company Z has a number of ways to meet this expenditure; in this example we only compare a traditional loan to Eurodollar futures.
Let's assume Company Z can normally borrow funds for 3 months from its local bank at a rate of 3 month Libor plus 100 basis points (bps). If the company takes the first alternative, the effective interest rate it would be able to borrow at would remain unknown until June 1, when it borrows the actual $10 million at 3 month Libor plus 100 bps. Note that this represents a variable interest rate, as the interest rate in 3 months remain unknown until the actual day arrives. What if the company wishes to know on March 1, 2009 the interest they must pay on the loan, which will not occur for another 3 months?
Company Z can also sell 10 Eurodollar future contracts (for total notional principal of $10 million) that expire on June 1, 2009. Let's assume that on March 1, 2009 the price of Eurodollar futures is exactly 93.00, implying an interest rate of 7.0%, and that at expiry (June 1, 2009) the final closing price is 92.50, implying an interest rate of 7.5%. Since the futures price decreased 50 basis points, Company Z would have received a total of $12,500 ($25 x 50 ticks x 10 contracts) from buyers of the contract. At expiry, all accounts are margined to the final closing price and closed; there is no more activity related to this specific Eurodollar futures contract.
Continuing the example from above, Company Z has an expense of $10 million on June 1, 2009. However, it has received $12,500 from the Eurodollar futures contracts, and as a result now only needs to borrow $9,987,500, or $10 million less the amount it received from the contract. It now goes to its local bank (from earlier in the example) and borrows this amount at its established rate of 100 basis points above the 3 month Libor. The 3 month Libor is now observable as 7.5%, which is the same figure that the Eurodollar futures uses to close trading.
Company Z now borrows $9,987,500 at an interest rate of 8.5%. Company Z's overall cost of financing is { $9,987,500 * (1+ 0.085 * [ 90 / 360 ] ) / $10,000,000 } -1, which comes out to 2.0%. When annualized, Company Z's actual cost of borrowing $10 million is 8.0%, which is exactly the Eurodollar futures price of 7.0% it agreed upon plus the 100 basis points cost of borrowing from its local bank.

As a psychiatrist, I was disturbed to read that some of the officials who helped send the Chowchilla kidnappers to prison now support their parole (Tribune, Feb. 24).
The facts are as follows:
In July 1976, three men partially blocked a children's school bus route, boarded a bus that stopped and held the driver and 26 children at gunpoint. They crammed them into two small vans for about 11 hours in total darkness without food or water before forcing them into a moving van buried several feet underground.
They sealed them in with a heavy metal plate, covered it with dirt and debris and left them. Escaping was extremely difficult and required shifting the metal plate and then digging barehanded through several feet of dirt. The hostages were buried for about 16 hours.
The lasting emotional damage to these children has been thoroughly documented by Lenore C. Terr, a renowned trauma researcher, who found that every one of them suffered severe post-traumatic symptoms.
They experienced not only terrible nightmares, exaggerated startle responses, flashbacks and hypervigilance, but also persistent fears of vans, school buses, stalled vehicles, darkness, strangers, people who resembled the kidnappers and unexpected sounds. As often happens with overwhelming trauma, the terror from the actual incident led to what Terr calls a "fear of the mundane."
Several years after the incident, nearly all the children felt little hope for a happy future, a long life or a life without major trauma. Many experienced disturbed relationships with a severely impaired ability to assess trustworthiness in others and several became permanently enraged.
They also had to cope with unwanted fame about something they did not even want to think about and that some even felt ashamed about (not uncommon in victims of abuse).
These were ordinary kids before they were kidnapped, threatened with death and buried alive. This premeditated crime shattered their childhoods and left them with crippling fears and impaired ability to function normally in many respects.
In spite of this, the lead investigator now says that the kidnapers were "just dumb, rich kids" and the retired judge who had overturned their original sentence of life in prison without parole considers their ongoing imprisonment a "gross injustice."
It is not for me to say how long a prison term is sufficient for any crime, but this horrific crime caused incalculable psychological injury to the children and any decision regarding parole must take that into account.
Patricia Lipscomb has been a psychiatrist for more than 30 years and worked a great deal with patients suffering from childhood trauma. She has lived in Nipomo since 2007.
Editor's Note: Richard Schoenfeld has petitioned for parole and is scheduled for a hearing at the California Men's Colony on April 5.

Oscar, Tony, Emmy — Marchesa runs with an A-list entourage. Designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman are known for planting a garden of grandeur style on each and every red carpet. From the scandalous Kerry Washington to the sensational Taylor Swift, Marchesa reigns popular with tulle for days. We chatted with Craig to learn the ins and outs of being one of Hollywood's favorite designers.
What were your key inspirations for the fall collection?
We were looking at a kind of opium dream. We really took the idea of a hazy 1920s feeling. You'll see a lot of fringes, feathers and handmade flowers — a lot of very "Marchesa" staples.
Name a highlight within the last 10 years of Marchesa.
Sandra Bullock wore our dress to the Oscars and won her Oscar in it. That was a pretty defining moment for us as a brand.
What's the oddest place you've found inspiration?
Georgina will often have sparks of inspiration and call me up at strange times in the night to say "I've had a dream," or "I was searching on the Internet, and I found this painting." Inspiration comes from so many different places. You draw from everyday life all the time.
You're a successful designer and a mother of two. If you had to write a book on parenting, what would the title be?
There Are No Rules.
If you had to get married all over again, what wedding trend would be on your Pinterest board?
When I got married, Marchesa didn't do bridal, so I took one of our gowns and made it in ivory. I didn't have that moment of going to a bridal salon and trying on the things you normally do when you get married. I would definitely wear the most enormous veil and have the most enormous train. I would be a much more ostentatious bride. I should have worn that veil — damn, I missed that moment!
What's waiting for you on your DVR at home?
My husband and I have a secret obsession with The Walking Dead.
If you had a theme song, what would it be?
Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.

As many of you know, every two years St. Mary's takes a group of students on an International Mission Trip over Spring Break. In 2014, we took 14 students to Ecuador, and it was an incredible experience for everyone. This year we are blessed to once again partner with Family Missions Company (FMC) as we head to General Cepeda, Mexico. While there, we will spend our days in service to the community, and our evenings sharing our testimonies at various worship services. General Cepeda is FMC's oldest mission site, and we are so excited to join in their mission, even for such a short time! I am always amazed at the way one week can change the life of a student, not to mention all the people we will encounter in Mexico!
Father Denzil and I will be accompanying a group of 5 students, along with one of our FOCUS Missionaries. Because of safety concerns along the border, we chose to fly to Monterrey. Travel, lodging, and food will cost about $1,100 per person, bringing our total fundraising goal to just under $9,000. We are so close to our trip, and so close to our goal! Right now we are only short about $3,000! Our students continue to invite their friends and family to join us on this mission financially, and have even started a fundraiser to get their peers involved. If you are interested in being a part of our trip, please prayerfully consider donating via our on-line portal. Any amount helps make this Mission a reality!

Today the point came up that has often come up for me in the past year or so. Every time I hear a radio program, or read a news story, or watch a documentary I see there are obvious problems in this world that require a change. But the point that exist within all the stories I see/read/watch is the human factor. That is the one fundamental point that creates and shapes a particular story - a problem of homelessness, or drug overdoses, or civil wars, or corrupt governments, or whatever it is... it's made up of the humans involved.
What I see when I look at this world is not the problems as they are presented, but as the minds of humanity. If each person in this world considered how who they are influence the rest of the world, we would see a different humanity. The human is at the core of everything that goes on in our world - how the animals are treated, how the environment is treated, how the people are treated, and the outcomes of each of these - it's the human that runs the world. And is this a world we should accept? Of course not.
But while we think homelessness or drug addiction, or war is simply 'part of reality' - it is in fact not. It's it due to the nature in which humans have accepted and allowed themselves to be and become. It doesn't actually have to be this way.
So while we see conflict on the streets, and in our homes, and on our televisions - realize you are simply seeing what humanity has become through accepting and allowing a mind of separation. We do not see how who we are impacts those around us, and our starting point of living and behaving plays the major role.
From this perspective - realizing that all things in this world come back to the HUMAN as the problem, we realize the utmost importance of SELF-responsibility. There is nothing happening in the world that doesn't exist on some scale within your own mind... have a look. Be self-honest, and actually take the time to investigate and see the nature in which you move, speak, and think. It is not a kind mind we have - it is one that creates what we see in this world. Live in Reverse = Evil.
Thus our sole purpose in this world is to change ourselves - to take the responsibility we have as the one part of humanity that reveals a much needed re-alignment into real life living - not one of blame, gossip, hate, conflict, greed, corruption, self-interest. If we could all simply get back to ourselves, and back to reality - we could realize the common life we all want to live, and that together, equal and one, we can create that.
There is power in numbers - we hear that about many species of animals in the wild - well I see humanity as the same. At the moment - the 7 billion humans are divided, and conquered, instead of standing in unity. The way to unity is to start with yourself - to be the change you want to see in this world... to stop the nature of the mind that creates the atrocities we see on a global level. Check out DIP lite to start this investigation to see what you are really made of... I dare you.

Sefo Liufau passed for 204 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 54 yards and another score in less than a half as Colorado routed Idaho State, 56-7.
Phillip Lindsay ran for two scores as the Buffs built a 49-0 halftime lead on its way to a second straight blowout win.
Liufau, who had 384 yards of offense in the 44-7 win over Colorado State in the 2016 opener to earn Pac-12 Player of the Week honors, had another big game with touchdown passes of 15 and 4 yards. He ended his day with a 19-yard touchdown run late in Colorado's 35-point second quarter that made it 42-0.
Liufau's backup Steven Montez connected with Kabion Ento for two more touchdown passes.
Jakori Ford scored for the Bengals (1-1), who had just seven first downs and 96 yards total offense.
"I was very impressed with what our staff did with our guys, I liked how focused they were", said CU coach Mike MacIntyre. "Our upperclassmen did a good job of staying focused in practice and they kept working. That's what we talk about all the time, it's to worry about Colorado and nothing else. I'm seeing that in this group of guys".
It's been a long time since Colorado football has been part of the national discussion. So long, in fact, that Buff fans can be forgiven for not remembering what it's like.
The past two weeks, though, there has been a pleasant sprinkling of rain in CU's decade-long drought.
In the polls which came out after the Colorado State game, Colorado received a solitary vote in both the Associated Press Top 25 poll and the USA Today Coaches' poll. Not exactly "hold the presses" news for the rest of the nation, but it was a big deal for #TheRise in Colorado football.
Which coach voted for the Buffs in the USA Today poll remains a mystery. Sources report that CU coach Mike MacIntyre, one of six Pac-12 coaches among the 64 head coaches on the panel, did not vote for the Buffs (and, no, CSU head coach Mike Bobo is not on the list, so it wasn't him, either).
The writer who cast the one vote the Buffs received in the Associated Press poll, however, is known. Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald, publicly disclosed his vote for Colorado. His explanation:
… No. 25 Colorado: And here we have a controversial pick. CU? The Buffaloes? Which has won 11 games in four years? Yes. Colorado, based on one of the most dominant wins of the weekend, a 44-7 rout of Colorado State. CU out-gained CSU by 353 yards, won the turnover battle +2, converted 12 of 19 third downs — this was a good performance. Better than TCU and Pitt — even if both won. If the goal is to reward performance, and not some preconceived notion of goodness, then, through one week, Colorado is a top 25 team to me. They may drop out soon enough.
Ready for the "Viking War Chant"? … Idaho State 0-12 all-time against the Pac-12 … 0-24 v. FBS since 2000
It's not really a question of whether CU will win, but by how much … This week's "T.I.P.S." …

November is Diabetic Awareness Month
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. The latest statistics
state that more than 30 million American now have
the disease and another 84 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Untreated, prediabetes will often lead to diabetes within
five years. Most people do not know they are prediabetic.
Please note, if you are overweight, have high blood pressure, or are age 45 or older, you are at higher
risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The good news is
that making healthy changes may greatly lower your
risk. To help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes, start with the basics: watch your weight, eat healthy, get more physical activity, and call your medical provider to see what your numbers are.
We encourage you to make certain you have completed your annual preventative care exam. If you have already been diagnosed with diabetes, it is important that you keep your regularly scheduled visits to monitor how your body is handling this condition.
To raise awareness about diabetes and healthy living,
the providers at Maple Street encourage the diabetic
community to openly share their experiences and knowledge. Knowledge has the power to transform

Question about RCA OPAL M4001 MP3 Player
I have a mc26 mp3 player that was given to me and I dont know how to delete the songs cause I dont like the ones that are on there can you please help
Posted by Danielle Likens on
To delete the songs on your RCA, attach the usb cord to your computer, and turn on your rcy lyra mp3 player.
(if you dont have any pc then you could do this from a friends (or evern an internet cafe) pc as well, it doesnt hurt or harm anything and theres no need to install anything either)
go into windows and open up a folder --- any folder will do (you can use one on your desktop if you like) once the folder opens, please click the little arrow around the top of the folder. you should see it say :
My Documents,
My computer
(and which ever drives you have on your pc) please look for one called:
once you see that one, please click on it.
then, what you will see in your folder is all of the music you have inside your mp3 player.
To delete those files, and any mp3 songs, highlight them, and press delete. then press ok and there you are. if you would like to move the songs to your computer, just highlight them and drag them onto your desktop, or another folder, or where ever yopu would like to put them.
once your done, just unplug and there you go (oh! you can also add files to your player this way. just add them into the folder with your mp3 pluged in).
altight, hope that helps
P.S. Please rate accordingly...
Thank you

USAF vs. Godzilla... Yeah, I'd pay to see that.
Rebecca Maksel airspacemag.com and a few select Airmen seem to think that the U.S. Air Force 18th Wing at Kadena AB in Okinawa has the right stuff when it comes to defending Japan from Godzilla, who is forecasted to return this summer.
When asked how many personnel and aircraft it would take to form cohesive offense against a kaiju of Godzilla's (properly pronounce "go-JEE-rah") stature it appears there maybe disagreement within the longstanding warfighter's enclave of Kadena.
SRA Hermann thinks it will probably take every ready-for-flight F-15 Eagle from both the 67th and 44th Fighter Squadrons, a four-ship of 33rd Rescue Sqd MH-60s with a couple of door guns and, wait for it... all the Marine Corps AH-1 Cobra's stationed down the street at MCAS Futenma - bless his heart! (Thanks, Gunslinger. Check's in the mail) Might take a little more than what we saw in the 67th's video.
According to MSgt Edwards, the magic number is SEVEN (period... 'dot'). Von Clausewitz would totally dig the simplicity. Seven what?... diplomats?
Oh... the arrogance of man. Nevertheless, still ready to rush into the atomic breath of the monster of all monsters.
DoD acquisition and procurement nerds: Get us more chem gear that protects us from radioactive atomic breath. STAT!
And if Godzilla finds his way back to the ocean? Hermann throws a shout out to the Navy. Standby Seventh Fleet. "Sun Tzu" Edwards thinks that, at the end of the day - NOT Chuck Norris - but a regiment of segue-mounted, slingshot-wielding, airman will be the champions.
Sun Tzu and Gunslinger, bring on Godzilla and the rest of the kaiju. I'm motivated to saddle up and head... I mean cranium... And GO down range!
You first though. I'll be right behind you.

Vray GI and Reflection issue
Hello all!
I'll make this quick. I'm trying to render three layers of an object in Vray.
1. Background
2. Sphere
3. Base
The issue I am having is that when I comp them together I noticed that the GI and the Reflections don't have all the information compared to the render where everything is all in one layer.
Left image is how it should look (all objects in one render). Right image is with three separate layers.
Here is comparing the GI
Here is comparing the Reflections:
Here is comparing everything in one render layer vs three render layers merged together:
I have primary visibility disabled on the objects I do not want in the layer. This seems to be effecting these passes.
I have tried adding Vray Object Properties to every object and making sure effect GI was on but no luck.
I have a feeling it is the light cache not picking up the (primary visibility off) objects but I am not that familiar with Vray so it might not be the case.
I would like to note that I do know very well how to composite images. This is an issue with how they are being rendered out of Vray.
Any help would be great!
Thank you!

What software are you using? In 3Ds Max, you do this by unchecking "Visible to Camera" in the object properties (Not vray object properties, just regular object properties). that makes the makes the object still appear to reflections, GI, shadows, etc., but be invisible to only the camera.
I whatever primary visibility is, it makes the object completely disappear from all render calculations, not just from the camera.

I am using Maya 2014. This is the "Primary Visibility" I am talking about. It's just a normal Maya setting in a render layer. To my knowledge it should only be removing the object from "primary" vis and not removing it for reflections or anything else.

I'm having the same issue now and so far the only way I have been able to fix it is to change the bounce engine from "Light Cache" to "Brute Force". *It seems like the light cache engine can't see objects with primary visibility turned off. *Is this a bug or is there some light cache option I am missing?

For the last five years, owners of California real estate have been hitting the ball out of the appreciation ballpark. Central Coast California Real Estate is growing with the fast explosion of technology and the advancements that are made in similar industries. Historically, the real estate trends of California have always been the precursors for the rest of the country.
If you are looking for some real estate in the central or northern area of California you will want to checkout all the different locations and even different types of real estate in the area. Luxury real estate is usually sold at a rate of at least twice the average price of homes in the area. In order to select an appropriate California real estate agent, clients may approach any of the real estate firms or private brokers in the locality or online.
Whether you talk with your local real estate agent or log on to the world wide web to begin your search for your new property, the options are endless for those seeking to own or rent a piece of luxury real estate. Tesoro offers single-level and two-story living in San Jacinto, California and is one of the new real estate developments of JD Pierce. The fact is JD Pierce Company is the one to go to if you are looking for California real estate in community developments that are considered to be top-quality and high magnitude.
Yet the California coast is also the most problematic ground for building a Real Estate anywhere in the whole world. Once you have identified the following key indicators you will have a better grasp of the general trends in California's real estate market. The California real estate market is one that is watched by people from all over the world.
Let's look at California's Real Estate. All real estate agents in California must be licensed to buy or sell real estate. If you want to find southern California real estate foreclose property its best to use services that make it their business to provide listings.
California is an incredible place to live and real estate prices reflect it. The following list explains the basic rights every buyer has when buying real estate in California. When your Real Estate Agent writes your purchase contract, make sure he marked the right check boxes.
Oakland Real estate Tax: Median Real Estate Taxes (2000) were $1,762 comparing to 1999 Median Family income $ 44,384. Vallejo Real estate Tax: Median Real Estate Taxes (2000) were $1,294 comparing to 1999 Median Family income $ 56,805. Burbank Real estate Tax: Median Real Estate Taxes (2000) were $1,640 comparing to 1999 Median Family income $ 56,767.
Bakersfield Real estate Tax: Median Real Estate Taxes (2000) were $1,422 comparing to 1999 Median Family income $ 45,556. Fremont Real estate Tax: Median Real Estate Taxes (2000) were $2,412 comparing to 1999 Median Family income $ 82,199. San Jose Real estate Tax: Median Real Estate Taxes (2000) were $2,423 compared to 1999 Median Family income $ 74,813.
Does this mean that fewer people are buying real estate or just that there are fewer available since they are all bought up? Kaye Thomas has been selling real estate in Manhattan Beach Ca since 1979. Real estate agents are qualified specialists who are well versed with real estate trading.
In California the market is returning to normal conditions. So what direction is the California Market moving? Anything can be negotiated and becomes binding on the parties who sign the contract; however, there are certain customs which differ from county to county as to who pays what.
Most services charge a small membership fee to access their data base, but by comparison it amounts to nothing compared to driving to the county clerk and recorders office spending hours there finding what you need that you can find out online in minutes. Michael Colucci is a writer for California Real Estate which is part of the Knowledge Search network. Inside Castro Valley Real Estate is a network entirely devoted to real estate information.
Cliff Waldrep is a Real Estate graduate with more then 25 years of experience in the real estate field. You will be amazed at the diversity of his Real Estate knowledge. Subjects from buying and selling real estate, FSBO, Foreclosures, Rehabbing, No Money Down, Real Estate license, Real Estate Property Management, to remodeling your home, and much, much more!

Joris Ivens: Documenting History
Learn more about Joris Ivens and his films (click here for information and purchase)
When you select any Amazon item to buy from the Voices Education Project web site, and then check out at Amazon.com, a portion of your purchase price will be paid to Voices to support our work.
Joris Ivens (1898-1989) was a Dutch documentary filmmaker and committed communist. Born Georg Henri Anton Ivens into a wealthy family, Ivens went to work in one of his father's photo supply shops and from there developed an interest in film. He completed his first film at 13; in college he studied economics with the goal of continuing his father's business, but an interest in class issues distracted him from that path. He met photographer Germaine Krull in Berlin in 1923, and entered into a marriage of convenience with her between 1927 and 1943 so that Krull could hold a Dutch passport and could have a "veneer of married respectability without sacrificing her autonomy."
Originally his work focused on technique - some argue that it had that focus at the cost of relevance. In 1929, Ivens went to the Soviet Union and, to his astonishment, was invited to direct a film on a topic of his own choosing which was the new industrial city of Magnitogorsk. Before commencing work, he returned to the Netherlands to make Industrial Symphony for Philips Electric which is considered to be a film of great technical beauty. He returned to the Soviet Union to make the film about Magnitogorsk, Song of Heroes in 1931. It was a propaganda film about this new industrial city which was mainly built by forced labourers, who however were portrayed by Ivens as communist volunteers. Ivens later referred to these forced labourers as "weed".
With Henri Storck, Ivens made Misère au Borinage (Borinage, 1933), a moving and militant documentary on life in a coal mining region. In 1943, he also directed two Allied propaganda films for the National Film Board of Canada.
Ivens next to Hemmingway
From 1936 to 1945, Ivens was based in the United States. For Pare Lorentz's U.S. Film Service, in the year 1940, he made a poetic documentary film on rural electrification calledPower and the Land. It focused on a family, the Parkinsons, who ran a business providing milk for their community. The film showed the problem in the lack of electricity and the way the problem was fixed. Ivens was, however, known for his anti-fascist and other propaganda films, including The Spanish Earth, for the Spanish loyalists, co-written with Ernest Hemingway and music by Marc Blitzstein and Virgil Thomson. Jean Renoir did the French narration for the film and Hemingway did the English version only after Orson Welles's sounded too theatrical.. This film was financed by Archibald MacLeish, Fredric March, Florence Eldridge, Lillian Hellman, Luise Rainer, Dudley Nichols, Franchot Tone and other Hollywood movie stars, moguls, and writers who composed a group known as the Contemporary Historians. Spanish Earth was shown at the White House on July 8, 1937 after Ivens, Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, had had dinner with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt and Harry Hopkins. The Roosevelts loved the film but said that it needed more propaganda. This 1937 documentary was considered his masterpiece.
The Spanish Earth
In 1938 he traveled to China. The 400 Million (1939) depicted the history of modern China and the resistance to the Japanese invasion, including dramatic shots of the Battle of Taierzhuang. Robert Capa did camerawork, Sidney Lumet worked on the film as a reader, Hanns Eisler wrote the musical score, and Fredric March provided the narration. It, too, had been financed by the same people as those of Spanish Earth. Its chief fundraiser was Luise Rainer, recipient of the best actress Oscar two years in a row; and the entire group called themselves this time, History Today, Inc . The Guomindang government censored the film, fearing that it would give too much credit to left-wing forces. Iven was also suspected of being a friend of Mao Zedong and especially Zhou Enlai.
In 1944, Ivens made Know Your Enemy: Japan for Frank Capra's U.S. War Department film series Why We Fight. The film's commentary was written largely by Carl Foreman. It was never distributed because Emperor Hirohito had been depicted and labeled as a war criminal; and as the film was due for release there had been an American government policy shift to keep the Emperor after the war as a means of maintaining order in post-war Japan. A combination of not being in step with the Truman Administration and owing to the emerging 'red scare' on known or suspected Communists by the US government after Roosevelt's death made Ivens leave the United States. Ivens' politics also put the kibosh on his first feature film project which was to have starred Greta Garbo. In fact, Walter Wanger, the producer, was adamant about "running him {Ivens} out of town {Hollywood}."
In 1946, commissioned to make a Dutch film about Indonesian 'independence', Ivens resigned out of protest of what he considered ongoing imperialism, the Dutch were resisting decolonization, and filmed Indonesia Calling in secret. For around a decade Ivens lived in Eastern Europe, working for several studios there. His position concerning Indonesia and his taking sides for the Eastern Bloc in the Cold War annoyed the Dutch government. Over a period of many years, he was obliged to renew his passport every three or four months. According to later mythology however, he lost his passport for ten years, which is not true - the fact that he would make it back to New York City to sit by the bedside of his old friend Paul Robeson when he was ill would belie that.

Bluetooth dev tool helps cut headset size
Keywords:Cambridge Consultants xIDE software development kit Sound ID Bluetooth development tool in-ear module
A powerful Bluetooth development tool has helped Sound ID to commercialise an innovative headset for the hard of hearing, which employs wireless communications to link an in-ear module with a remote microphone.
Cambridge Consultants has released its xIDE software development kit which allows Sound ID to eliminate the need for a separate microprocessor in its in-ear headset, by fully exploiting the 'free' processor that comes as part of the Bluetooth chip, to control the overall hearing system. This resulted in considerable savings, in terms of both real estate and BOM. The approach also substantially reduced power consumption - another critical area of performance for this type of product.
Sound ID's Personal Sound System looks like a small Bluetooth mobile phone headset. However, inside the device is a DSP that can be configured by an audiologist, or the user, to amplify sound based on individual preferences. The Bluetooth capability allows the ear module to link with a remote microphone that can be positioned to improve signal-to-noise ratio. It also acts just like a standard Bluetooth headset for a mobile phone, automatically switching from continuous amplification mode, to hands-free mode when a call is in progress.
The Bluetooth chip used is CSR's BlueCore device with embedded Flash memory, which includes an onchip XAP RISC processor. This processor's main task is to manage the Bluetooth protocol communications. But it has enough spare computing power to allow it to function as the application processor in a small 'hostless' Bluetooth systems such as a conventional headset, running software such as a hands free 'profile' and controlling a simple man-machine interface.
However, Sound ID's sound system is more sophisticated. The versatility of the ear module means that the processor has to run four types of Bluetooth application software: hands free and headset profiles for open connectivity with mobile phones, a custom profile that passes audio between the companion microphone and ear module and a serial port profile for connecting to a PC for initial configuration. In addition, the processor controls the overall system, including the DSP, and user interface buttons and beeper. This includes managing configuration software that allows the DSP's amplification and spectral shaping characteristics to be personalized and different sound settings to be selected during use.
The ability to perform all these functions was made possible by Cambridge Consultants' xIDE software development kit (SDK). This gives unrestricted access to the full native power of the XAP processor inside BlueCore, allowing users to bypass a software 'safety' layer that serves (for less experienced programmers) to protect the Bluetooth compliance of the chip. To help speed the project, Cambridge Consultants also contracted to write the application software for Sound ID, providing a complete system running on XAP that manages both the Bluetooth protocol communications and the sound system requirements, without compromising Bluetooth compliance. Cambridge Consultants also incorporated power conservation techniques to minimise the consumption of the system.

In the September issue of Homes & Antiques we published the first 50 of the inaugural Homes & Antiques guide to the 100 best antiques. The aim was to celebrate all that is brilliant and unique about older craftsmanship, and so we asked experts and auctioneers to pick out the pieces they felt to be the most outstanding on the market or in museums today. Big or small, pricey or not, the antiques featured in this list have all been chosen because they are the most desirable now.
In the fourth section, discover stunning furniture from beautiful Regency commodes to the acclaimed, yet simple, Arts & Crafts 'Sussex' chair. There's something eyecatching about each – whether it be the patina or the carving. These 16 examples are testament to Britain's strong tradition of furniture making and cabinetry.

This is a debate about granting rights to Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises in specifics.) In case you do not know what Cetaceans are, they are mammals best adapted to aquatic life. What I mean by "Rights" is that they get basic privileges, conditions, or considerations to which a group or individual is entitled.
The voting period for this debate is 1 week and the total amount to argue is 24 hours. Please note that you only get 750 characters to argue. This is going to be rather difficult but we will have to deal with it. There is three rounds.
Once again this is about granting rights to Cetaceans.
Thank you and please enjoy the debate.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my opponent for this debate. Now, we begin.
What my opponent has stated is that we give "rights" to Cetaceans, mammals best suited to live in the water. If we were to do so, the argument could be made that we give rights to all mammals, land or sea. And I would suppose that by "rights" we give them special privileges, such as those of humans. And if we are granting rights to mammals, why not just grant special privileges to all animals? Are they not equal? In order to treat all animals equally, we would have to allow for such rules. This would cause the eating of most meats to be outlawed, we can't just kill them, they have rights. Hunting, would then be outlawed.
In 2009, the cattle industry attributed to $43.8 billion in income for the United States. With such rights, this would go away then due to the fact that we gave them rights we can no longer produce that money.
First of all, I will explain to you why cetaceans are so unique. It is proved that cetaceans can understand grammar. For example, if a trainer of a whale said whale, ball, trainer, the whale would get the ball, and go to the trainer. But if you say trainer and then ball, the whale would go to the trainer and then get the ball.
I would like to point out that just because you give cetaceans "rights", that doesn't mean you need to give all the other animals "rights" as well. For example, we wouldn't need to give bugs "rights". We are already not giving bugs enough time to live because we kill them accidentally by stepping on them while we walk. Even though you didn't intend to kill the bug you would still get charged for that? That doesn't make sense.
I would like to ask a question. What does cattle's have to do with cetaceans? And please note what I said before. Thank you
And as for your question about cattle, I was stating under the assumption you do give rights to cetaceans, which progresses to all animals.
The idea of giving rights to cetaceans would only cause animal rights activists to be more upset that you are separating the cetaceans over any other animal. What about the birds, the fish? Are we supposed to give them rights as well?
Giving rights to cetaceans, in the end, would only cause people to push and push until you give special rights to the rest of the animals and before we know it, we can't do anything without having to respect the "rights" of every animal that we would be affecting. We would have to assess anything involving any animals.
First of all, I would like to point out the great example of slippery slopes. However, how do you know that animal rights activists won't allow it unless all animals have "rights"? Are birds and fish as intelligent as cetaceans? Are they endangered? There is no need to give other animals rights. Just cetaceans. Cetaceans are rather endangered compared to other species. For example, whaling is a problem. Japan, Iceland, and other nations won't be stopped from whaling if we don't give the cetaceans rights. Once again, all he has said this debate, is mostly that giving "rights" to cetaceans will only result in giving "rights" to other animals.
