Search Groups
Hopkins last edited by
Several months ago I posted this in the feature request thread, but it got buried without much opportunity for discussion. So here it is again, and I would value people's feedback. The additional user interface requirements are minimal (I have mocked them up below), and this could be a unique power-user selling point for Vivaldi. The idea is simple: a single search command opens multiple tabs of results. At the moment this must be done manually. For example, if I want to search many sites for a CD to compare prices, my actions would be: - Ctrl+T. Type "a Dark Side of the Moon". Highlight "Dark Side of the Moon". Ctrl+C. Return. - Ctrl+T. Type "b ". Ctrl+V. Return. - Ctrl+T. Type "e ". Ctrl+V. Return. This would open three tabs for the sites Amazon, Base and eBay, each with the results I was looking for. The alternative: - Ctrl+T. Type "cd Dark Side of the Moon". Return. The new tab is replaced by a tab group containing three tabs, each with the results I was looking for. The user interface requirements are minimal. Simply extend the "Search" section of settings with a "Search Group" section, where each Search Group has a name and a keyword (like a normal search), but the "URL" is instead replaced with a list of existing search keywords. To illustrate my point, I have created a mock up of this: [attachment=2408]SearchGroupMockUp(cropped)-2.png[/attachment] I have a feeling that when people get used to this and set up their groups of commonly used searches, they will wonder how they ever lived without it... The closest a Chrome extension has come to this is the "Search Center", however it does not permit assigning keywords to the search, the UI to configure searches is clunky and, of course, it cannot take advantage of tab groups. The proposal I have made above should be very easy to implement, easy to configure and introduces virtually no clutter to the UI.

Oh yes, nice idea. Such group bundled searches (like a metasearch) would be useful. :woohoo:
Did you already sent your whish as a Feature Request in bugtracker at http://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ ?

Thanks! No, I have not submitted it there, although I have submitted the odd bug. I had assumed they they prefer only to receive bug reports there. Perhaps I could slip it in, but it would feel a bit cheeky to me!

Our organization was founded in 1992, largely through the initiatives of Russell Krabill, in order to research, preserve and promote the history of Anabaptist groups living in LaGrange, Elkhart, Kosciusko and Marshall Counties in north central Indiana. One of our specific goals is to be a resource for and encourager of congregational historians.
We sponsor public programs in the spring and fall of each year, occasionally organize field trips to local areas of interest, publish a newsletter twice a year and call members' attention to other programs that deal with the history and culture of local Anabaptist communities.
Membership in MAH is only $10 per year. The fee makes possible the publication of the newsletter and other writings, the erecting of historical markers, and the continuation of this website. Members also receive e-mail notices of special events and opportunities between the two annual meetings.
To become a member, send a check for $10, made out to "Michiana Anabaptist Historians," to Helene Hoover at the address given below.

I blew up the R7 fork on my single speed last night. I am a tad bummed. I bought the fork used from someone on the MMBA bulletin board this winter; it is always kind of hit and miss with used parts. 90% of the parts I buy are used.
I like bikes. I really do. I have been accused of being a Ludwig, probably because I was the last racer in Michigan to give up his cantilever brakes. I am not a Ludwig; it just takes a lot to convince me to change. My current geared bike is 17 years old, I just replaced the frame, fork, and components a couple of times. It started out as a 1992 Cannondale and slowly morphed into a Barracuda, then a Kona, then a Litespeed, then finally into my Felt hard tail.
At the same time I owned my Cannondale/Barracuda/Kona/Litespeed/Felt, I have owned sexier bicycles, as the picture of my Yeti will prove, but I am faster on the tame trails of Michigan with my hard tale. I poured over my heart rate data/split times to prove that to myself. At any given heart rate, my time to complete the 7 mile Murray Lake loop is almost 2 minutes faster on my hard tale. Or, comparing the same lap times between the two bikes, my average heart rate is about 4 BPM lower on my hard tale. Right, I spent a summer figuring this out. The disc brakes worked much better on my Yeti than the V-brakes on my hard tale, and full suspension certainly smoothed out the trail, and my Yeti clearly handled better but I am faster on my Felt. The Felt is much lighter and I guess that is the thing. It is hard to build a 21 lb full suspension bike. In a perfect world I would have kept both bikes but I live in an imperfect world full of mortgage payments and dance lessons. Something had to give, and it was my Yeti.
This winter I had the Chris King rear hub serviced and had the SID rebuilt even though I wasn't having issues with either. I am about to replace the drive line even though it works fine. My bike will not be an excuse this season.

Elite Masters open water swimmer Jo Mitchinson is currently preparing for her first race of 2016. Find out discoveries that Jo has made along her training journey so far.
So, my first race of the 2016 season is now just 4 weeks away and I honestly can't wait. The ASA OW Festival is only 13 weeks away and I'm now in a hard training phase. When I stop and consider that my OW season, from start to finish lasts only 14 weeks, it makes me realise the importance of the remaining 38 weeks of the year and the training that takes place in that time.
There have been considerable changes to my training over the last few months as my coach (Dan McDonald) got a very well deserved appointment to another club. 'Maggers' and I worked well together- he was an intuitive coach and I had total faith in him. It was simple, he told me what to do, I did it to the best of my ability on that day and I got better. With Stevenage SC in the middle of the interview process all that concerned me ahead of the new season was consistency.
I am very aware that now I am older, I am a different swimmer to coach. I'm no longer capable of training twice a day and I take longer to recover between really tough sessions. I would guess that I'm not alone in these discoveries that an aging body needs 'managing'. Masters swimming is enjoying a boom and most swimming clubs, like Stevenage SC now cater for older swimmers of all abilities. This means that many coaches with vast experience of youth swimmers now find themselves being asked to coach us 'oldies' too.
Before the permanent Head Coach starts, I am lucky enough to be coached by Emma Hill. Previously a swimmer herself and hugely experienced swimming teacher and junior coach, I was surprised to hear from her that she was nervous of coaching the masters! It made me consider how I've changed as a swimmer over the years and what I now value in a coach.
Straight away, if Emma wasn't sure about suitable rep times, she asked us. Whereas in my younger years, I may have used this as an opportunity to try to blag an extra 15s per rep, I now thrive off of the challenge of completing the tougher sessions. She has also bounced my more individual Thursday morning sessions off of me the day before, explaining the aim and inviting feedback. Again a change; there was a time when I'd have hated to know what brutal session the coach had in store for me the following day – but now I really appreciate having an input in my training. I like knowing 'why' I'm being asked to do something and how it will benefit me long term.
I simply don't have time in my week for 'garbage yardage'.
Emma has created some absolute beasts for me recently (4 x 800 race pace – each one broken differently, large blocks of race pace 100's, a pyramid set 200, 300, 400, 500, 400, 300, 200 – really pushing the first 200 to reflect the start of OW races etc), but it is all quality – I simply don't have time in my week for 'garbage yardage'. Of course there are recovery sessions in between, but these focus on technique, hypoxic work and my least favourite word to hear in training "kick"!
To conclude, as this month rolls into next month, I've learnt that anyone who coaches me needs to have a lot of patience; I can't climb out of the pool anymore – I need the steps, I train using what Stevenage swimmers term 'senior fly' (which is actually front crawl) and I ask 'why?' an awful lot. I've also learnt that I really like being involved in the planning of my own training and that the communication and mutual respect between swimmer and coach is essential to the enjoyment and progress of the athlete.
Next month I'll be reflecting on my first race of 2016.

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia#Biosynthesis
Ammonium ions are a toxic waste product of the metabolism in animals... In mammals... it is converted in the urea cycle to urea, because it is less toxic and can be stored more efficiently.
Urea or carbamide is an organic compound with the chemical formula (NH2)2CO. The molecule has two amine (-NH2) groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group.
|source; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Urea.png
This mechanism, which is controlled by the antidiuretic hormone, allows the body to create hyperosmotic urine, that has a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the blood plasma. This mechanism is important to prevent the loss of water, to maintain blood pressure, and to maintain a suitable concentration of sodium ions in the blood plasmas.
The equivalent nitrogen content (in gram) of urea (in mmol) can be estimated by the conversion factor 0.028 g/mmol.[5] Furthermore, 1 gram of nitrogen is roughly equivalent to 6 gram of protein, and 1 gram of protein is roughly equivalent to 4 gram of muscle tissue. Subsequently, in situations such as muscle wasting, 1 mmol of excessive urea in the urine (as measured by urine volume in litres multiplied by urea concentration in mmol/l) roughly corresponds to a muscle loss of 0.67 gram.
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea#In_humans
Uric acid is a heterocyclic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen with the formula C5H4N4O3. It forms ions and salts known as urates and acid urates such as ammonium acid urate. Uric acid is created when the body breaks down purine nucleotides. High concentrations of uric acid in blood serum can lead to a type of arthritis known as gout. The chemical is associated with other medical conditions like ammonium acid urate kidney stones.

Creatine is naturally produced in the human body from amino acids primarily in the kidney and liver. It is transported in the blood for use by muscles. Approximately 95% of the human body's total creatine is located in skeletal muscle.[2]
Creatine is not an essential nutrient, as it is manufactured in the human body from L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine.[3]
In humans and animals, approximately half of stored creatine originates from food (mainly from meat). Since vegetables do not contain creatine, vegetarians show lower levels of muscle creatine, but show the same levels after using supplements.[4]

When I was growing up, my family was transplanted from the level, rich soil of Indiana to the red clay hills of Tennessee. With high hopes we set our sights on southern climes while promising to keep in touch with friends and relatives whose only notion of life in the South came from watching "Hee Haw" on tv.
"They'll be back before the snow flies," they murmured to each other, nodding sagely.
They doubted that such pure Mid-westerners as my father, Earl, who had played the cornet in a German band, and my mother, Rose Marie, who had even played her accordion on the radio one time, could ever feel quite at home in the land of cotton, moonshine, and hillbilly high jinks. Not to mention that time change business. Where we were from nothing was more controversial than Daylight Savings Time.
But I never heard my parents express a single qualm about the move, even on the long drive to Knoxville. Although, it's true they didn't discuss much on car trips anyway since a stint as an artillery instructor had left my dad slightly hard of hearing in one ear. Light conversation takes on new meaning when it must be repeated frequently and loudly.
But if they did harbor any worries, they need not have, for not only were they well-equipped with positive attitudes, square dancing skills, and tips from Dale Carnegie… they played bridge. I don't know how to play bridge yet, but it's on my to-do list, right after acquiring a second language and learning how to knit.
We had scarcely hung up our hats, much less our Black Forest cuckoo clock, before Mom was invited to her first afternoon bridge party. And, except for that one unfortunate reaction to a shrimp salad, she had a fun summer getting to know the other ladies in the neighborhood.
Soon came the advent of evening bridge parties with husbands included. When it was our turn to host, Mom would rummage in the cabinets for two large Pyrex pans to make Cherry Delight, a delicious, chilled dessert with a graham cracker crust and luscious layers of sweetened cream cheese and cherry pie filling. My brother and I (and little sister when she got old enough) would help serve it to the guests on pretty, etched-glass plates and then help ourselves to some, too, before toddling off to bed with visions of Cherry Delight for breakfast dancing in our heads.
Now, like many people, I find myself living in a town where I scarcely know my neighbors. And it's been quite a while since I've been invited anywhere without being expected to support a worthy cause, load up on frightfully expensive (though exquisitely women) baskets, or invest in spray vitamins. I believe it's time to re-evaluate my priorities, put off the knitting and French lessons, and rustle up a bridge group of my own. But first I need some new Pyrex pans.

You are a blessed one indeed, as indicated by the configuration of Sagittarius Ascendant ( Lagna ) rising with Leo Navamsa and Aries Dreskana in the first Pad of Poorvashadha. You are in for a smooth, see innings, enjoying wealth and all the good things of life.
There can be no stopping you when you attain the age of 28 which will prove the luckiest period of your life. With that as the stepping stone, you will rise to good heights of material prosperity. Naturally, you will tend to become proud, even arrogant sometimes, but don't get naughty. You will remain a law- abiding citizen, very much attached to your spouse and children for whose sake you will be prepared to make any sacrifice. You will also be loyal to your friends whom you will assist in times of their need. Helpful by nature, you will donate to charity.
An honest and upright individual you firmly believe in doing everything above board. That is why you will speak out the truth in any gathering, even if it is unpalatable to others. If others resent your candid and frank utterance, you couldn't care less. Consequently, you will become unpopular with vestal interests. But you won't budge, as you attach much importance to principles.
You will go about your job in an intelligent, methodic manner, working out your plan of action well in advance. Pursuing it with dedication and hard work, you will achieve your goal, which brings in monetary benefits and provides you with a sense of fulfillment.
You can choose a profession that blend with your nature. The ones recommended for you are writing, editing, book publishing, company law, politics or being attached with religious or educational institutions. Since you have a soft corner for foreigners, you can develop contacts with them and manage a trip or two abroad. At any rate, you will have to avoid indulging in speculation as it will prove disastrous.
You can prosper even better if you follow the guidelines listed below:
Attend to any important work on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to ensure success. Be careful on Monday and Tuesday which may prove troublesome.
Among the numbers, plump for 3, 5, 6 and 8, keeping clear of 2, 7 and 9.
You will stand to benefit if you avoid red, pearl and black colours, and go in for white, cream, green, orange, emerald and blue.

Realtime simulation of overcast sky
Author: Dirk Fischer, January 2004
The task:
The task of the project was to develop a realistic simulation of an overcast sky, which was to be rendered in real time under the use of actual graphic hardware and processors. The Simulation is implemented in C++ and OPENGL.
Many techniques have been used for clouds in games or flight simulators. They have been hinted at with planar textures - both static and animated - or with semi-transparent textured objects or fogging effects. These techniques leave a lot to be desired. In a flying environment, you would like to fly in and around realistic, volumetric clouds, and to see other flying objects in and behind them.
This project renders realistically shaded static clouds and does not address issues of dynamic cloud simulation. This choice leads to the generation of clouds ahead of time using shading only once per scene and dynamically generated impostors.
The system:
Scattering illumination models simulate the emission and absoption of light by a medium as well as scattering through a medium. Single scattering models simulate scattering through the medium in a single direction. The direction is usually the direction leading to the point of view. Multiple scattering models are more physically accurate, but must account for scattering in all directions (or a sampling of all directions), and therefore are much more complicated and expensive to evaluate. This project simplifies multiple scattering by approximating multiple scattering only in the light direction, called multiple forward scattering, and anisotropic scattering in the eye direction.
This cloud rendering method is a two-pass algorithm precomputing cloud shading in the first pass, and use this shading to render the clouds in the second pass.
While the cloud rendering method described above provides beautiful results and is fast enough for simple scenes, it suffers under the weight of many complex clouds. With direct particle rendering, even a scene with only a few clouds is prohibitely slow on current hardware.
An impostor replaces an object in the scene with a semi-transparent polygon texture-mapped with an image of the object it replaces. This project generates impostors using the following procedure. A view frustum is positioned so that its viewpoint is at the position from which the impostor will be viewed. You then render the object into an image used to texture the impostor polygon. An impostor is valid (with no error) for the viewpoint from which its image was generated, regardless of changes in the viewing direction. Impostors may be precomputed for an object from multiple viewpoints, requiring much storage, or they may be generated only when needed. This project uses the latter technique called dynamically generated impostors.
If you would like more information, you can download the paper of this project (in German) and the source code (C++, CG).

Bathroom. Monday , April 17th , 2017 - 13:57:27 PM
Quote from Remodeling a small bathroom with Small Space :
Remodeling a small bathroom with bright colors: darker colors is not suit with small space, therefore you need to pick bright colors for your little bathroom. For example, paint with brush your bathroom and choose orange, white, cream, pink, yellow, light blue, forest green and many more. Bright colors will make your bathroom space looks larger while darker colors will make your bathroom even smaller. You also need to pick bathroom furniture with bright colors to match with bright colors bathroom themes. You also could install bright ceramic tiles as bathroom floor and you could pick ceramic tile with many shapes and patterns.

SCB participates in Conecuh National Forest work weekend on Indigo Snake Project
Auburn University's chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) continued to volunteer to aid the Indigo Snake reintroduction effort in Conecuh National Forest. A small but dedicated band (4 students plus faculty advisor Boyd) helped Dr. Craig Guyer and his lab group remove snake pens that had been installed several years ago on the national forest for experimental purposes but had now outlived their usefulness. Despite very cool weather, during the 2 days on the site we almost completely removed hundreds of t-posts and hundreds of meters of hardware cloth fencing to help prepare the site for a prescribed burn during the coming months.

Israeli shellfire has killed one Palestinian militant and wounded another in the Gaza Strip.
The shelling took place early Wednesday near the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis. It follows an upsurge in violence this past week along Israel's border with the Hamas-ruled territory.
An Israeli spokesman says they're checking the report.
Ambulances are still searching the area for casualties. Israeli troops often open fire at suspects approaching a heavy-fortified border zone along the frontier with coastal Gaza.

Two border row officials back at work
Two UK Border Agency officials suspended during the row over the relaxation of checks have been cleared of blame and are back at work.
Graeme Kyle, director of operations at Heathrow, and Carole Upshall, director of the south and European operations, were suspended last month.
UKBA chief Rob Whiteman said two management reports had cleared them.
Border force chief Brodie Clark who was also suspended later resigned saying his position had been made "untenable".
The row - over whether a relaxation of border checks went further than had been authorised by ministers - is being investigated by Chief Inspector of the UKBA John Vine.
But Mr Whiteman confirmed to the home affairs committee that Mr Kyle and Ms Upshall were no longer suspended, following a management investigation carried out under disciplinary procedures.
"The result of his investigation was a report to me saying they did not have a case to answer, they were cleared of any charges and we have therefore brought them both back to work."
Referring to previous evidence to the committee provided by Mr Clark that he had previously raised concerns about the number of times checks were relaxed at Heathrow, Conservative MP Mark Reckless asked whether that had been taken into consideration.
'No rogue'
Mr Whiteman said the report had found that although he had been "involved in the operations" Mr Kyle had "not deliberately been part of suspending checks against ministerial authority and that those issues rested with Mr Clark".
He said the reports found that both he and Ms Upshall had been "acting within what they believed to be agreed operational frameworks".
Mr Clark has told MPs he was "no rogue officer" and quit saying he planned to sue for constructive dismissal.
He told the committee at a previous hearing that he "did not extend or alter" the pilot scheme "in any way whatsoever" and was "meticulous" in ensuring senior staff were briefed on it.
Home Secretary Theresa May says she authorised the relaxation of some checks on children from the European Economic Area (EEA) and some extra checks on EEA adults under "limited circumstances" at peak times - but claims Mr Clark allowed officials to go further, without ministerial approval.
Mr Whiteman was also asked about the UKBA's "controlled archive" of unresolved asylum seeker and immigration cases - which, in November, contained 124,000 cases - something which has been compared to the size of Cambridge.
He said that figure broke down to 98,000 asylum cases - which had since been reduced to 93,000, largely due to cases having been double counted - and 26,000 other immigration cases. The 26,000 in the "live archive" remain unchanged.
He said "real progress" had been made on the larger archive - and predicted that it would be brought down to 30-40,000 cases by the end of the financial year. He added that he wanted to "close" the archive by March 2013.
Lib Dem Julian Huppert challenged him on the amount of time it was taking UKBA to resolve new cases - arguing it meant a new backlog would soon build up.
Mr Whiteman said it was "good news" that 56% of asylum cases in the last quarter were being "actioned" within 12 months: "We are getting faster at concluding them - a bigger number will be concluded within 12 months this year than the previous year."
Mr Huppert said that appeared to him to be "quite a slow pace" and said fewer than two thirds of new cases were being concluded within six months.

Grant, Nelson emerge to grab coveted athlete-of-year distinctionWaldo County high school standouts beat tough competition from Knox, Lincoln county athletes
Following the conclusion of each high school calendar year, the Courier Publications/VillageSoup sports department selects the best of the best from the Midcoast's athletic landscape, then highlights a handful of them and, eventually, spotlights two.
The task of whittling 20 semifinalists to 10 finalists and, ultimately, to two recipients can be tough, especially with so much athletic talent in the three area counties.
This year was no different as student-athletes from Knox, Waldo and Lincoln counties were considered for the distinction of 2016-17 Courier Publications/VillageSoup schoolboy and schoolgirl athletes of the year.
After 10 male and female semifinalists were whittled to five finalists for each gender — and after much deliberation among the most deserving of the two batches of finalists — the athletes of the year have been selected.
On the boys side, Searsport District High School senior Barrett Grant was chosen from a talented group of finalists — including Camden Hills' Josiah Krul, Mount View's Devon Davis and Colby Furrow and Oceanside's Michael Norton Jr. — as the Courier Publications/VillageSoup schoolboy athlete of the year.
It was the second straight year Grant was named a finalist and his first athlete-of-the-year honor.
On the girls side, Belfast Area High School senior Kylie Nelson was chosen from a talented group of finalists — including Camden Hills' Charlotte Messer, Medomak Valley's Gabby DePatsy and Oceanside's Jillian Brooks and Alexis Mazurek — as the Courier Publications/VillageSoup schoolgirl athlete of the year.
It was the third straight year Nelson was named a finalist and second straight year she was selected as athlete of the year. She also was the first to win the distiniction in back-to-back years since Ashley Geel did so for Georges Valley High School of Thomaston in 2006-07 and 2007-08.
For years, the honors were exclusive to student-athletes in Knox and Lincoln counties, but Waldo County student-athletes became eligible for 2009-10.
Since that time, a combined 16 schoolboy and schoolgirl athletes of the year have been selected — 10 of whom have come from Waldo County schools.
Both races for the top distinction for 2016-17 were close, particularly the girls, as it was the second straight year it came down to Nelson and Messer as the final two considered. In the end, Nelson again was selected — by a razor-thin margin.
Students from Oceanside High School of Rockland/Thomaston, Camden Hills Regional High School of Rockport, Mount View High School of Thorndike, Belfast Area High School, Medomak Valley High School of Waldoboro, Vinalhaven School, North Haven Community School, Searsport District High School and Islesboro Central School are considered for athlete-of-year honors.
Courier Publications publishes three weekly newspapers, The Courier-Gazette in Rockland, The Camden Herald and The Republican Journal in Belfast. The company also has two websites: knox.villagesoup.com and waldo.villagesoup.com.
The athletes of the year will receive a free year subscription to one of the company's print newspaper or online websites, in addition to a gift from the Courier Publications/VillageSoup sports department.
Grant, a 2017 SDHS graduate, was a three-sport athlete for the Vikings, playing soccer, basketball and baseball. He scored 22 goals and added 17 assists on the pitch and was named to the Penobscot Valley Conference's first team, in addition to being a few goals shy of breaking the school career scoring record. He went on to average 22 points, seven assists and 11 rebounds on the basketball court, was named second-team all-conference and surpassed 1,000 career points. He also was the catcher for the baseball team where he was a five-tool player, was a finalist for the Dr. John W. Winkin 2017 Mr. Maine Baseball award and helped the Vikings swing to their third straight state Class D championship. At the plate, Grant sported a .516 batting average, with 11 doubles, 20 RBIs, 32 runs, had a .603 on-base percentage and was successful on 53-of-55 base stealing attempts. The catcher also threw out nine would-be base stealers and pitched many crucial innings for the Vikings.
Nelson, a 2017 BAHS graduate, was a three-sport athlete for the Lions, playing field hockey, indoor track and outdoor track. In field hockey, Nelson scored a whopping 37 goals and added 14 assists, was named to the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference's first team, was an All-State selection, was a finalist for Miss Maine Field Hockey and led the Lions to the state Class B championship game. In indoor and outdoor track, she combined to win six Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Class B championships and three individual state titles in various events, including the pole vault, long jump and triple jump. She was first-team all-conference in those sports and the league's Class B athlete of the meet in indoor track.
More in-depth stories on Grant and Nelson will appear in the future.

Situation
<\/strong>Jones Lang LaSalle's client, BlackRock, sought a quality tenant to fill a large vacancy in its Anaheim Distribution Center facility. The former tenant, a manufacturing firm, moved its operations to Mexico due to rising labor costs in California. During our fact-finding activities at the outset of the assignment, Jones Lang LaSalle learned that another Anaheim Distribution Center tenant, American Sports Centers, desired to remain at the project, expanding its presence to take over an entire 242,000-square-foot building of the two building, 520,000-square-foot project.
 <\/div>
Strategies<\/strong><\/p>

Leveraged long-term relationships with Anaheim Distribution Center tenants (team has worked on the project since its construction in 2000) to negotiate property decommissioning of manufacturing space and introduce new lease terms and conditions for American Sports Centers' long-term occupancy and expansion.<\/li>
Engineered a clearly defined separation between American Sports Centers' desired sports use and the additional pending vacant industrial space to ensure success of current transaction and marketability of future transaction for remaining space<\/li>
Structured lease terms to allow for maximum flexibility for both sports and industrial uses while limiting any exposure for BlackRock, an institutional landlord with a billion-dollar portfolio<\/li><\/ul>
Achievements<\/strong><\/div>

By delivering market intelligence to landlord and tenant, our team successfully determined a win-win lease rate, terms and concessions in the most challenging commercial real estate market in 25 years<\/li>
Reached a 15-year lease term agreement with American Sports Centers that included new offsite parking to eliminate any interference with the adjacent industrial building asset<\/li>
Have proactively repositioned the industrial asset through major refurbishment and building standard upgrades; generating numerous qualified tenant tours and a pending 200,000 s.f. 15 year lease<\/li><\/ul>

Racket Stringing - Contact Jonathan
We offer a professional racket stringing service. From the moment you decide to restring your racket we will guide you through string selection and tension. If you wish to customise your racquet, whether it be replacing or enlarging your grip or adding weight to your racquet this can be discussed at the time.
Stringing Process
A one piece restring gives a more uniform string bed tension across the whole racquet face. We advise that most club players should choose a one piece synthetic gut (multifilament). However for chronic string breakers a one piece monofilament string is recommended. A two piece restring is durable because of the monofilament mains but gives the character of the synthetic gut crosses e.g. feel, control, power (mix and match on page 4 of the price guide). Once your racket has been strung and an overgrip put on, it will be stencilled with the racket makers logo and placed in a polythene bag with the date, string & tension.
Restring your racket as many times a year as you play in a week. Select the string as carefully as you selected the racquet frame. Experiment with different types of string and tensions - find the one that suits you best. A good string will transform your game and you will start to play the shots you dreamed of. Let's face it professionals take a HUGH amount of care chosing their string and tension.

Serai on Cleveland
Frankie and I were going out for dinner in Surry Hills one night. I think we had planned to go to a different restaurant but when we walked past this place we thought we would try it out instead! The place was empty except for us but the menu looked good and affordable and we hadn't had Malaysian for a while.
We decided to start off with satay! You can't go to a Malaysian restaurant and not get satay. Usually the chicken is quite flat and small, but this was plump and juicy (just the way I like it). The sauce was excellent as well!
I had never had Rojak before and had seen it being made on Food Safari and thought it looked delicious. Although this wasn't exactly like what i saw it was still very delicious. I think I had a peanut sauce overload!
As well as satay you always have to get rendang and this was delicious and so cheap! The meat was fall apart in your mouth, as it should be.
We also got a salad, you may ask why, well it was $1.50! I have never seen a salad anywhere for that price, so of course we had to get it. The one behind was Achar Awak (spicy mixed vegetable pickle) which was also $1.50.
They have a few house specialties as well which would be great to try, like fish head curry! I think you have to let them know 24 hours before or something whether you are going to order it though, so make sure you do if that's what you're going to order! I would definitely recommend this place and would come back again. So good food and very cheap!

Shiv's Ki puchde ho haal fakiraan da...
Saada nadiyun vichade neeraan da.
Saada hanjh di june aayeen da,
Saada dil jaliyaan dilgeeraan da!
Eh jaandeyan kujh shokh jahe
Rangaan da na hi tasveeraan hai,
Jad had gaye aseen ishke di,
Mul kar baithe tasveeraan da!
Sanu lakhaan da tan labh gaya,
Par ik da man vi na miliya.
Kya likhiya kise mukahdar si
Hathaan diyan chaar lakeeraan da!
Takdeer da aapni saukan si,
Tadbeeraan saathon na hoiyaan.
Na jhang Chutaya na kan paate
Chund lang gaya injh heeraan da.
Mere geet vi lok suneende ne,
Naale kaafar aakh sadeende ne,
MaeN darad nu kaaba keh baitha
Rahb naaN rakh baithe peeraan da.
Main daanashvaran suneendiyaan sang,
Kai vaari uhchi bol piya,
Kujh maan si sanu ishke da,
Kujh daava vi si peeraan da!
Toon khud nu aakal kahihda hain,
Main khud nu aashik dasda haan,
Ih lokaan te Chad daeeye,
Kihnu maan ne dinde peeraan da!
Why ask about the condition of fakirs like us?
We are water, separated from its river,
Emerged from a tear,
Melancholy, distressed.
Of course I knew that a painting is just
A whimsy of colors-
But when I entered the emporium of love,
I paid a price.
Countless bodies did I find,
But not one mind did I meet.
This was written in my fate,
In the four lines of my palm.
My destiny was my rival.
I could never find a way to escape it.
I did not leave Jhang, I did not pierce my ears,
And a crowd of Heers crossed my path.
People listen to my songs,
But call me a heretic,
Because I named pain my kaaba,
And sorrow, my god.
On occasion, in gatherings of great people
I have spoken sharply.
Perhaps I was arrogant about my love,
Perhaps I felt I had a claim upon pain.
You call yourself a wise man,
I say I am a lover.
Let us leave it to the people to decide
To whom they will give the esteem of a pir.

Mainu tera shabab lai baitha
Mainu Jad vi tussi ho yaad aaye
Mainu Jad vi tussi ho yaad aaye
Din dihare sharab lai baitha
Kinni beeti te kinni baki ae
Kinni beeti te kinni baki ae
Mainu eho hisab lai baitha
Mainu tera shabab lai baitha
Shiv nu ek gam te hi bharosa si
Gam to kora jawaab lai baitha
Mainu tera shabab lai baitha
Rang gora gulab lai baitha.

Separation... Birha Tu Sultaan
Birha Tu Sultaan
Birha birha aakhiye,
Birha tu sultaan,
Jis tan birha na upje
So tan jaan masaan.
Asin sabhe birha ghar jammde,
Asin birha di santaan,
Birha khaaeyee birha paaeyee,
Birha aaye handaan.
Asin sab birhaan de mandarein,
Dhukde doof masaan,
Bin birha umar sugandheeyaan
Sabhe binsa jaan.
Birha seti upajiya,
Eh dharti te asmaan,
Birha seti sooraj jamman,
Dihoon paye gere khaan.
Mein vadbhaagi tera birha
Lar lahg mere aan,
Bin birha theen di theekari
Kise ujare kabristaan.
Aj sabe dhartiyaan meriyaan,
Te sabhe hi asmaan,
Aj sabhe rang hi nmaendree
Mere vihre jhummar paan.
Tu hi runne man meriya,
Kyun loche vasal handhaan,
Je disha dishaavaan aapaseen,
Milan kade na jaan.
Asaan joon handhaani mahik di,
Sanu birha da vardaan,
Saade is birha de naam taun
Kot janam kurbaan.
Birha birha aakhiye,
Birha tu sultaan,
Jis tan birha na upje,
So tan jaan masaan.
The english Translation is ...................
Let us speak of separation,
Separation is king.
A body that does not feel separation,
Is dead body.
We are all born in the house of separation,
We are children of separation,
We receive it, we swallow it,
We are on this earth to bear it.
In the temple of separation each one of us
Burns like incense,
Without separation every odor of life
Would perish.
From separation emerges
This earth, this sky.
From separation originates the sun
And the days revolve.
I was supremely fortunate that this separation from you,
Attached itself to me.
Without it I would have been just a piece of clay
In an empty graveyard.
Today all the world is mine
And all the skies.
Today every color sways
In my courtyard.
Why, my soul, like a woman,
Do you long for union?
Do different directions
Ever meet?
I must extract the very essence of fragrance,
For I have been given the gift of separation,
For the sake of this separation
I would give up a hundred births.
Let us speak of separation,
Separation is king.
A body that does not feel separation,
Is dead body.
I have felt separation for long enough...... now i want my loved ones .....forever n ever n ever...
Shiv Batalvi's Jee Chahe panchi ho jaavan
Someone requested the lyrics of Shiv Batalvi's poem Jee Chahe Panchi ho jaavaan... I revisited this poem after a very long time today and it resonated with the free bird within me which wants to be free and scale the heights of the ever expanding horizons..
There is something in Shiv's poetry which tugs at the invisible chords of emotion and makes you think and rethink about what you really want..
Panchi ho Jaavaan
Jee chaahe panchi ho jaavaan,
Ud daa jaavaan, gaunda jaavaan,
Anchuhe sikharaan nu Choo paavaan,
Is duniya deeyaan raahvaan bhul ke
Pher kade na vaapas aavaan.
Ja ishnaan karaan vich jam-jam
La Deekaan peeyaan daan da paani.
Maan-sarovar de beh kande
Tutta jiha ik geet maen gaavaan.
Ja baethaan vich khireeyaan royeean
Phakaar pauna itar-sajoeeyaan.
Him-Teesiyaan moiyaan moiyaan
Yugaan yugaan taun kakkar hoiyaan
Ghut kaleje maen garmaavaan.
Jee chaahe panchi ho jaavaan.
Hoe aahlana vich shatootaan,
Jaan vich jand, kareer, sarootaan,
Aaun poorere de seet faraate,
Lachkaare iyun laen Daaliyaan
JyuN koi Doli kheDe jaReeyaan
Vaal khalaari lae lae jhootaan.
Ik din aisa jhakkarh jhulle
Ud pud jaavan sab hi teelee
Be-ghar be-dar main ho jaavaan.
Saari umar peeyaan ras gham da
Aise nashe vich jind handaavaan,
Jee chaahe panchi ho jaavaan.
The english translation is as follows:
I wish that I could be a bird
That I could fly, that I could sing,
That I could touch untouchable peaks,
That I could forget the roads of the world,
And never return.
I would bath luxuriously
Drinking long sips of water.
By the shore of a great lake,
I would sing a halting song.
I would go into a flowering wilderness
Gulp the perfume laden winds.
I would warm in a tight embrace,
The peaks of mountains,
Deadened by centuries of freezing cold.
I wish that I could be a bird.
My nest would be among the mulberry trees,
On in the caper, the mesquite or the cypress.
When the cold east wind blew
The jewelled branches would bend
As if playing, swaying
With their hair flying in the wind.
One day there would be a storm
And all the twigs would all scatter.
Nestless, homeless, I would become,
For the rest of my life I would drink the nectar of sorrow
And live my life in its intoxication.
I wish that I could be a bird.

Shiv Batalvi's "Ek kudi jihda naam mohabbat"
Lyrics (sung by Rabbi)
Ek kudi jihda naam mohabbat
Ghum hai ghum hai ghum hai
Saadh muradi sohni phahat
Ek kudi jihda naam mohabbat
Saadh muradi sohni phabat
Ghum hai ghum hai ghum hai
Ghum hai ghum hai
Soorat osdi paariyan wargi
Seerat di uh mariam lagdi
Hasdi hai taan phul ne charde
Turdi hai taan ghazal hai lagdi
Lam-salaami saroon kad di
Umar aaje hai markeaag di
Par nainaan di gal samajhdi
Ek kudi jihda naam mohabbat
Saadh muradi sohni phabat
Ghumya janam janam hun hoye
Lagda hai aeyun jyun kal di gal hai
Aeyun lagda-ae jyun aaj di gal hai
Aeyun lagda-ae jyun hunn di gal hai
Hunne taan mere kol khadi si
Hunne taan mere kol nahin hai
Eh keha chal ke hi bhatkan
Soch meri hairaan badi hai
Oas kudi nu toll rahi hai
Ek kudi jihda naam mohabbat
Saadh muradi sohni phabat
Ek kudi sohni phabat
Oas kudi nu meri saunh hai
Oas kudi nu aapni saunh hai
Oas kudi nu meri saunh hai
Oas kudi nu aapni saunh hai
Oas kudi nu sabdi saunh hai
Oas kudi nu rab di saunh hai
Je kite pardi sunndi howe
Jaeundi yan uh mar rahi howe
Ek vari aa ke mil jawe
Wafa meri nu daag na lawe
Nahin taan maethon jiya na jaanda
Geet koi likheya na jaanda
Nahin taan maethon jiya na jaanda
Geet koi likheya na jaanda
Nahin taan maethon jiya na jaanda
Ek kudi jihda naam mohabbat
Saadh muradi sohni phabat
Ghum hai ghum hai ghum hai
Ghum hai ghum hai
Ek kudi sohni phabat
The original poem by Shiv Kumar Batalvi is posted below:
Ik kuddi jida naa muhabbat,
Goum hai.
Saad muraadi, soni phabbat,
Goum hai.
Soorat ousdi pariyaan vargi
Seerat di o mariam lagdiHasdi hai taa phul jhaddade ne
Turdi hai taa gazal hai lagdi.
Lamm-salammi, saru de kad di
Umar aje hai marke agg di,
Par naina di gal samajhdi.
Goummeyaan janam janam han hoye
Par lagda jyon kal di gal hai.
Yun lagda jyon ajj di gal hai,
Yun lagda jyon hun di gal hai.
Huney taan mere kol khaddi si
Huney taan mere kol nahi hai
Eh ki chhal hai, eh ki phatkan
Soch meri hairan baddi hai.
Nazar meri har aande jaande
Chehre da rang phol rahi hai,
Ous kuddi nu tol rahi hai.
Saanjh dhale baazaaran de jad,
Moddaan te khushbu ugdi hai.
Vehal, thakaavat, bechaini jad,
Chau raaheyaan te aa juddadi hai.
Rauley lippi tanhai vich
Os kuddi di thudd khaandi hai.
Os kuddi di thudd disdi hai.
Har chhin mennu inyon lagda hai,
Har din mennu inyon lagda hai.
Judde jashan ne bheeddaan vichon,
Juddi mahak de jhurmat vichon,
O mennu aawaaz davegi,
Men ohnu pehchaan lavaanga
O mennu pehchaan lavegi.
Par es raule de hadd vichon
Koi mennu aawaaz na denda
Koi vi mere vall na vehnda.
Par khaure kyun tapala lagda,
Par khaure kyun jhaulla painda,
Har din har ik bheedd juddi chon,
But ohda jyun langh ke jaanda.
Par mennu hi nazar na aunda.
Goum gaya maen os kuddi de
Chehre de vich goummeya rehnda,
Os de gham vich ghullda rehnda,
Os de gham vich khurda jaanda!
Os kuddi nu meri saun hai,
Os kuddi nu apni saun hai,
Os kuddi nu sab di saun hai.
Os kuddi nu jag di saun hai,
Os kuddi nu rab di saun hai,
Je kithe paddhdi sundi hove,
Jyundi ya o mar rahi hove
Ik vaari aa ke mil jaave
Vafa meri nu daag na laave
Nahin taan methon jiya na jaanda
Geet koi likheya na janda!
Ik kudi jida naa muhabat.
Goum hai.
Saad muradi sohni phabbat
Goum hai.
Remembering a Friend......
Rabbi Shergill & Shiv Batalvi
I am particularly fond of Shiv batalvi's poetry and the way Rabbi has shaped the rendition of "ek kudi jihada naam mohabbat" in his song titled "Ishtihaar" is awesome.
One of the poems of Shiv written expressing his agony and pain over division of Punjab called "dudh da katal" is one of my favorites. "Dudh da Katal" or the murder of milk, which signifies murder of the milk of his mother, the mother Punjab, who was murdered by its division. The english translation of the same is as follows :
I still remember it today
And you must remember it too
When together we murdered our mother
They killed my childhood they killed my mother
And a cold corpse was left at my place to rot.
I have a longing to die young
To go to realm of youth
After my demise.
I sing to conceal my agonies
Under the guise of lyrics
Sweet and serene the curses
Miserable and doleful verses.
I have been occupied
With burning the lamps
Of my own existence , fears
Feeding it with flowing oils
From my own saline tears.
I would love to hear Rabbi's version of its rendition.
The title song of Rabbi's "Bulla ki jaana main kaun " brings alive on of the greatest sufi poets "Bulle Shah" poetry. The song is not only like a sheet of water for ears but Rabbi's voice is enchanting because of its crispness and certain roughness at the same time.
Punjabi version ( as rendered by Bulle Shah)
Bulla ki jaana maen koun ?
Na maen momin vich maseet aan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reet aan
Na maen paakaan vich paleet aan
Na maen moosa na pharaun.
Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun
Na maen andar ved kitaabaan,
Na vich bhangaan na sharaabaan
Na vich rindaan masat khawaabaan
Na vich jaagan na vich saun.
Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun.
Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na maen vich paleeti paaki
Na maen aabi na maen khaki
Na maen aatish na maen paun
Bulleh!, ki jaana maen kaun
Na maen arabi na lahori
Na maen hindi shehar nagauri
Na hindu na turak peshawri
Na maen rehnda vich nadaun
Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun
Na maen bheth mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya
Na maen apna naam dharaaya
Na vich baitthan na vich bhaun
Bulleh , ki jaana maen kaun
Avval aakhir aap nu jaana
Na koi dooja hor pehchaana
Maethon hor na koi siyaana
Bulla! ooh khadda hai kaun
Punjabi version : (lyrics as in song by Rabbi)
Bulla ki jaana maen koun ? - 4
Na maen momin vich maseetaan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reetaan
Na maen paakaan vich paleetaan
Na maen andar ved kitaabaan,
Na maen rehanda bhang sharaabaan
Na maen rehdaan masat khawaabaan
Na maen shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na maen vich paleeti paaki
Na maen aabi na maen khaki
Na maen aatish na maen paun
Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun-4
Na maen arabi na lahori
Na maen hindi shehar nagauri
Na hindu na turak peshawri
Na maen bhaee mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya
Na maen apna naam dharaaya
Avval aakhir aap nu jaana
Na koi dooja hor pehchaana
Maethon na koi hor siyaana
Bulla shah khadda hai kaun
bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun? - 4
Na maen moosa na pharaun
Na maen jaagan na vich saun
Na maen aatish na maen paun
Na maen rehnda vich nadaun
Na vich baitthan na vich bhaun
Bulla shah khadda hai kaun
Bulla! ki jaana maen kaun?
English version:
Bulleh! to me , I am not Known
Not a believer inside the mosque, am I
Nor a pagan disciple of false rites
Not the pure amongst the impure
Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
Not in the holy Vedas, am I
Nor in opium, neither in wine
Not in the drunkard`s craze
Niether awake, nor in a sleeping daze
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
In happiness nor in sorrow, am I
Neither clean, nor a filthy mire
Not from water, nor from earth
Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
Not an Arab, nor Lahori
Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri
Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari
Nor do I live in Nadaun
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
Secrets of religion, I have not known
From Adam and Eve, I am not born
I am not the name I assume
Not in stillness, nor on the move
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
I am the first, I am the last
None other, have I ever known
I am the wisest of them all
Bulleh! do I stand alone?
Bulleh! to me, I am not known.
Hope this string of experimentation continues and we get to hear good music.

Conflict between Gender roles and Leadership roles
If we go through the studies on leadership , it is statistically proven that there is a difference between the leadership styles employed by men and women. Women are to a greater degree favor transformational leadership than men. The women using other styles of leadership are not very successful. The main reason is that from the societal theory point of view the way society has evolved and distributed the work to its members has set the stage for non- acceptance of women leadership styles other than transformational. The society has saddled the women with the work of raising a family and being a submissive person in the process. They are assumed to be physically weaker sex, non- confrontational in nature and showing more communal behavior. This is the gender role for women defined by society. When a women tries to break away from that role and tries to create a space and identity for herself she is deterred at each and every point. Not all of these actions are conscious but many occur at unconscious level . The reason is the inherent bias which will remain and nobody can expect it too vanish in thin air . So a women showing agentic leadership behavior is a direct threat to the men and they will try to restrict her progress through any means available to them at that time. The best instrument that is used by men is the old boys network so to say. So , why is transformational leadership helpful? It is just because in this there are no commands necessary. It is a mutual effort , it is more subtle and a non- threatening stance than other leadership styles.
A working women has to put in more effort at whatever she does whether she is at home or at office. She has one territory to protect and other territory to earmark a place for herself. The double standards are used to judge her. It is sometimes like a dead end. She has more to loose in every case. If she slips somewhere at homefront she is judged more severely than a housewife just because she is a working and is blamed for not fulfilling her assigned role ( but who assigned that role in the first place and why is something nobody questions). If she slips in her work it is a sitter for men to prove that women are worthless. If a man networks it is admired and if a women networks she is called names.
The only possible situation for women to win the situation is to change the criteria of judgment. I admit it is not an easy Job. But we have to accept the fact that there is an inherent bias against women and it is also true that you can never win a game against the person who sets the rules. Then only option left is to change the rules of the game that is what a transformational leader does. You change the criteria according to which decisions are to be taken or how things are to be looked at - Reframe the context. That is the only way available to successfully solve the dilemma of the conflict between gender roles and leadership styles.

Email this article | Print this article | Search Havana Journal Tweet
By Amy Guthrie | Browardpalmbeach.com
Excerpt from Adios Fidel
South Floridians have been told for years — hell, decades — that the Castro regime is going to implode.
The countdown to Fidel's demise began when thousands of Cubans sought refuge in South Florida after Castro seized control of the island in 1959. Many in the first waves were wealthy elites who had the education and finesse to make their plight heard in Washington.
Determined to get back the clout and grandeur they left behind, the early refugees set out on a series of mishaps, starting with 1961's Bay of Pigs invasion flop and culminating in the frenzy over custody of young Elián González in 2000. In between, South Floridians lived through impromptu street protests, assassination plots, propaganda campaigns, paramilitary operations, and countless other bobbles.
By now, though, even a significant number of once-militant Cuban exiles are convinced that the hardline U.S. policy toward their home country as well as the constant anti-Castro clamor from Miami have contributed to keeping the bearded dictator in power.
"The embargo has actually helped Fidel Castro," says Ramón Saul Sánchez, president of the Miami-based anti-Castro movement Democracia, referring to longstanding federal restrictions on trade and travel. "He can portray the David versus Goliath. The more we pull, the more he pulls." Removing the embargo, Sánchez adds, "would take away everything that allows him to portray himself as a victim of U.S. imperialism."
For some reason, the original article had "fluff" all around the above text.
I find this quote by Ramón Saul Sánchez to be VERY significant.
Anyone else?
So, if the Embargo has helped Castro, why has it been in place for 45+ years?
Previous off-topic posts have been deleted.
Publisher, I honestly believe that one of the main reasons the embargo has been in place for 46 years is that "Goliath" can get over the fact that "David" has been able to stand up to him and continues to do so.
Unfortunately, it is the people of Cuba that are paying the price for the stuborness and arrogance of both governments.
Is this big news to you that Mr. Sanchez said the Embargo helped Castro?
Sorry for the mispelling, it should read CAN'T after "Goliath"
Mr. Sanchez only states what has been most obvious to open minded observers of Cuba for the last few decades: that our fanatically driven embargo and travel restrictions have done more to cement Castro and the communists in power in Cuba than any other factor…. Castro becomes the Robin Hood and giant slayer, we become the goat (a really dumb one at that). And most important, the embargo allows Castro to claim that all the ills of the communist system in Cuba would be corrected overnight were it not for the US restrictions. How idiotic. And how self-defeating.
One can only ascribe such unenlightened policy to the extreme rage of the Cuban expats who's faculty of reason remains clouded by their fiery emotions. Trying to "reason" with them, as many who have tried know, is like making dialogue with a hailstorm.
I disagree with Ramon Sanchez's comment that Castro likes to play it up as a victim of U.S. imperialism. This is parroting the same talk heard on right-wing Cuban stations, which is nothing more than hot air because they're stunned that Cuba has survived this long. The fact that Castro lashes out at imperialism isn't because he wants to play victim; he was doing that BEFORE the embargo.
While there is no doubt that the embargo has helped to cripple the economy, it was never able to accomplish what it was intended to do, and that was to bring Cuba to its knees. But no one, not even Castro, claims all their ills are the result of the embargo. He's already admitted to making costly mistakes, so obviously he's taking some of the blame himself. However, the embargo HAS helped Cuba (inadvertently of course) in that creating hardship for the Cubans only made them more resourceful and determined to survive the embargo and all the other assaults against Cuba (i.e. terrorist and biological attacks, and negative propaganda). The embargo's intent was to crush the economy, but some higher power used it to force the Cubans to draw on resources they probably didn't know they had. Over time they grew stronger as they learned to do without the luxuries and other necessities….but now they're a testament to how flexible and indomitable the human spirit is. Now it's up to Washington to accept the fact that there is nothing they can do to force Cubans to bend to their will. They need to do away with sanctions and let the new generation of Cubans chart their own course WITHOUT intervention of any kind.
One would think that is a sensible suggestion. What would Lincoln Diaz-Balart say against that?
Something dumb most likely.

How are cool app that store all data on the Internet, like Kik or Instagram, made? What software and hardware do they use?
Step one: think up a cool idea.
first, decide which programming language you are comfortable with,
then determine which mobile OS support that language,
google search for the developer community of that mobile os,
and there will be instructions on how to install the IDE and necessary tools for that language,
also, most developer communities have a sample section which allows you to check out and build your first few apps.
I'm not being rude, but
Numero Uno- Get a job at Google.
Step Two- Ask them.
I believe that's a question only someone technically involved with those services can answer. As for instagram you are actually lucky enough as there is a blog post outlining some of the details.

The Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI) opened 350 investment-related cases in 2016, an increase of 17%, reveals the ombudsman's annual report.
However, complaints related to mutual funds dropped 3%, though they remain the number one product investors complain about, representing 44% of cases. Common shares or equities represented 34% of cases, but no comparison is made to last year, nor are these cases mentioned in last year's report.
The leading investing issues across products were:
- suitability (27%),
- suitability of margin or leverage (15%) if funds were borrowed to invest,
- incomplete or inaccurate disclosure about a product (11%) and
- fee disclosure (10%).
These issues were consistent with previous years.
The number of investment cases closed in 2016 was 333, compared to 384 in 2015. This 13% decline was largely due to the elimination of the backlog of investment cases in 2015.
Read: OBSI to explore naming and shaming alternatives
Average compensation for investor complaints was $15,552, though fewer than half of investment complaints (45%) ended with monetary compensation.
Read: OBSI continues push for binding awards powers
Overall, investors with complaints rated the quality of service as very good or good (83%), regardless of compensation received.

text: In a paper currently under review, they have determined the key signaling molecules that link acute tension to the improvement of glutamate receptors and operating memory. 'Furthermore,' noted Yan, 'we've discovered that chronic tension suppresses the transmitting of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex of man rodents – which is opposite to the facilitating effect of acute tension – and that estrogen receptors in female rodents make them more resilient to chronic tension than male rats. 'All these studies should bring fresh insights in to the complex actions of stress in different circumstances which may be relevant to humans in the future,' she said..These transgenic mice develop advanced PTCs that closely resemble human poorly differentiated PTCs. Mabel Ryder, MD, and co-workers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Malignancy Center and the Sloan-Kettering Institute used BRAFV600E transgenic mice to review the effects of tumor-linked macrophages , a kind of white blood cell, on PTC initiation and progression. In cancers, TAMs are versatile and will either support or inhibit cancer tumor progression. In PTCs, BRAF activation in the thyroid is accompanied by increased levels of colony stimulating element 1, which stimulates the recruitment of TAMs to the thyroid.

WORLD is looking to Germany, as its 22 September elections fast approach. The question on everyone's lips is whether the next German government – the principle paymaster of Europe – will commit to a decisive deepening of the Eurozone. This, some believe, could haul the continent out of crisis. The answer, however, is no. Even if the ruling coalition changes – and Angela Merkel is likely to remain Chancellor – Germany's Eurozone policy will not fundamentally shift.
When it comes to "sparpolitik", or Germany's insistence on austerity, any changes will largely be superficial. Debt is seen as the core cause of the crisis, and will have to be reduced – even at the cost of political backlash and negative effects on short-term growth.
If the result is a "grand coalition" (formed of Merkel's centre-right CDU/CSU, and the centre-left SPD), Germany may be more sympathetic towards struggling Eurozone countries. But even then, we are unlikely to see significant changes beyond delays to cuts and token "pro-growth" measures. A Merkel-led government will likely push for some form of "competitiveness pact", whereby struggling Eurozone countries receive further support in exchange for reforms. But this would simply formalise the current arrangement, which enjoys broad public support and is grounded in Germany's own experience of the Agenda 2010 labour market reforms.
Meanwhile, German "foot-dragging" will likely continue over banking union. The German-French proposal for a Eurozone bank resolution mechanism is wildly different from the European Commission's. Germany has raised concerns about breaching EU treaties and giving the Commission too much power. It wants to maintain strict influence over any centralised system and its own diverse bank sector. Equally, it wants to ensure progress is made to appease still-fragile markets.
It's still unclear whether Germany will work to reform the Commission's proposal, or push ahead with a more intergovernmental measure. However, a decision over banking union will be needed – so some change could take place. Whatever the outcome, it could set the tone for future Eurozone policy.
But progress is likely to be slow. Germany will continue to insist on a strict rules-based system ahead of aid. Ultimately, it wants to limit infringement on the European Central Bank's inflation focus, and is hesitant to bail out banks directly until they have been thoroughly cleaned up.
The question of debt pooling will also remain contentious. As a recent Open Europe/Open Europe Berlin poll shows, 64 per cent of Germans are opposed to such a step. A debt redemption fund, as proposed by the influential Council of Economic Experts, which advises the government, may be an outside possibility – and is more likely under any government including the SPD. But the idea of Eurobonds is a non-starter. Debt pooling would be extremely unpopular and possibly deemed illegal by the German Constitutional Court.
So while Germany is rhetorically in favour of "more Europe", when it comes to the bread-and-butter policies required for further Eurozone integration, Germany will remain reluctant.
