Labor and the ASIO Bill
MAXINE McKEW (HOST PRESENTER): The government's bid to give ASIO sweeping new powers has failed - and won't be revisited until next year. Amendments put forward by the Labor opposition last night in the Senate were rejected in the Parliament today, and the end result - was the government voting down its own bill? The insults that were flying last night spilled over into the House of Representatives today. The Senate amendments rejected by the government include the right of those being questioned by ASIO to legal representation of their choice, a limit on the number of days a person can be held for questioning, and a ban on ASIO's power to hold people under the age of 18. The Prime Minister said those changes would have made the law inoperable and accused Labor of security vandalism. A short time after the acrimonious debate in the house, political editor Fran Kelly spoke to opposition leader Simon Crean in Canberra.
FRAN KELLY: Simon Crean, it's been an awfully long night. Thanks for joining us. The PM said the ASIO bill as you amended it is unworkable. Now, that's a pretty big risk for Labor to take, isn't it, to send Australia off into Christmas without this bill?
SIMON CREAN, OPPOSITION LEADER: He's wrong. It is workable. And yesterday they were saying it was unconstitutional and that's been proven to be false. This bill before the House gives ASIO stronger powers than either the FBI or MI5 in the UK, and the government didn't adopt it. That's what's at issue here. The Prime Minister says that he wants tougher legislation. We offer it to him and he passes it up. Now, even if he thought it wasn't to his liking, you would have thought in the national interest he would have accepted it, adopted it, so that something was in place over Christmas, and then come back and had another go again.
FRAN KELLY: Couldn't the reverse be true? Couldn't the same be said to you - why don't you adopt it - even if it's not perfect in your eyes, you adopt it. ASIO says it needs these powers. Why didn't Labor compromise so that something is in place for Christmas?
SIMON CREAN: I think it's a very serious issue, Fran, when we're talking about giving extended powers to ASIO, more powers than its ever had in the history of this country and more powers than the FBI or MI5. When you give those powers, there's got to be safeguards. I think that the Australian public out there has a view about ASIO and intelligence gathering that says there's got to be some safeguards around, and that's what we were trying to do. Now, the bill does that, Fran. What I can't understand is why the Prime Minister passed up the opportunity.
FRAN KELLY: Well, the Prime Minister says the bill doesn't do it. On the face of it, it gives ASIO powers to detain the question, but it also gives the Senate the right to disallow any kind of questioning regime the government puts in place. You keep in the back pocket the right to take those powers away again.
SIMON CREAN: He's wrong on that. Dead wrong. And I'm sure the Australian public doesn't quite understand what a disallowable instrument is. But let me just say that the Prime Minister's defence was based on that, but it's a falsity, and the Attorney-General admitted that falsity when he summed up in the Parliament, because Labor said to John Howard and his team, his negotiators, that if we can get the questioning regime up that we're talking about, we will tap the mat on the disallowable instrument. That was offered to them early this morning, the Attorney-General admitted to it, and they didn't follow up on it, and the Prime Minister based his whole defence on that false premise.
FRAN KELLY: Sure, but as the bill stands, if your bill as amended by you had been adopted, wouldn't it have contained the power for the Senate to strike out any questioning regime the Government put in place for ASIO?
SIMON CREAN: No because we said we were prepared to change on that. That's the whole point. We were prepared to go into negotiations to get a workable bill, a tough bill, a bill with safeguards, and that's what ended up in the Parliament. Now, the government came back with further amendments this morning. Why didn't they include the disallowable instruments, given that we said we were prepared to tap the mat on them?
FRAN KELLY: Is there a bit of confected anger on both sides here? I mean, John Howard points out that Federal Labor didn't make a song and dance about Bob Carr in NSW when he brought in his tough new anti-terror legislation. His bill allows for children as young as 10 to be strip-searched and Labor didn't jump up and down about that. Why not?
SIMON CREAN: It deals with police, powers of arrest and suspects. The ASIO bill is about ASIO giving power to question non-suspects. There's no comparison. But I am angry, Fran. It's not confected anger, it's real anger. Here we are with the community wanting tougher powers against terrorists. The government was offered the opportunity and they squibbed it. They squibbed it because the Prime Minister didn't understand the basis upon which his Attorney-General was negotiating or he's playing politics with it.
FRAN KELLY: You say you're angry. Shouldn't you be worried that without this bill over the next few months there's a general threat that something could happen, an attack could be mounted on Australian soil over the coming months? Shouldn't Australians be very worried we don't have the protection of new powers for ASIO and shouldn't our political leaders have bent over backwards to deliver them, and isn't that on your head if something happens?
SIMON CREAN: No, it's on the PM's head. Because he alone stood in the way of a settlement in the Parliament today. We know members of his back bench wanted to settle. Why? Because they participated in committees that agreed with us. We know his Attorney-General wanted to settle. It's only the Prime Minister - he alone vetoed the bill.
FRAN KELLY: Well, John Howard has said today that Labor is weak on anti-terrorism measures, weak on security, as it was weak on border protection. Now, that kind of allegation - accusation caused Labor a lot of troubles at the last election. Are you concerned that politically this bill not getting up is real political trouble for Labor?
SIMON CREAN: Labor has always stood for the defence of this country, always stood up for it - John Curtin through. It was Labor that established ASIO. We understand the importance of securing our citizens, but if you're going to give additional powers to ASIO, there have got to be safeguards. People have suspicion about ASIO, rightly so, but they also want terrorism tackled. Now, we're prepared to give the additional powers to ASIO with the safeguards. That's what the bill proposed.
FRAN KELLY: Do you think people will understand that, they'll know that, or is it just going to be seen as Labor blocked the fact that the government was trying to give ASIO stronger powers? I mean, isn't it -
SIMON CREAN: No, let's get this right, Fran. Labor proposed the bill. The government blocked the bill. Labor had a bill that would have given powers to ASIO greater than FBI - I say it again - greater than the FBI and greater than MI5 - and the government blocked it. Now, this is a government that says it wants to be tough against terrorists, it needs tougher new laws. It was given those tougher new laws and it blocked it.
FRAN KELLY: Simon Crean, thanks very much for your time.
SIMON CREAN: My pleasure, Fran.
Simon Crean is the Leader of the Opposition and this is the transcript of an interview broadcast on the Lateline late night news & current affairs program on Australia's ABC-TV on 13 December 2002.

Are you single and ready to mingle? Odds are, then, that you're part of the 15 percent of U.S. adults who have used online dating sites or mobile apps to find love. Perhaps one of the most popular – and controversial – of those tools is the infamous Tinder.
An easy-to-use app with an estimated 10 million daily users, Tinder hypothetically makes finding a new partner easy. But does it really work for the modern woman? To find out just how effective Tinder and other online dating sites/apps really are, ENTITY talked to a variety of relationship experts, ranging from Wendy Newman, a dating, relationship and sex advisor and author of the book "121 First Dates: How to Succeed at Online Dating," to Dr. Erin Sumner, a Trinity University assistant professor of human communications with a research focus of online dating.
Here's five reasons why computerized apps like Tinder are the new Cupid … and why every woman should give online dating a try.
Have you ever considered your dating options at school or work and sighed to your best friend, "Where have all the good men gone?" Apps like Tinder can't answer that question, but they can open up a world of new options.
RELATED: These Brilliant Pick-Up Lines Could Help You Snag a Last-Minute Valentine
As Wendy Newman explains, "Tinder is designed for the male brain, and it's a bit like video games, they're into it. This means there's a LOT of men on Tinder — way more than on say, E-Harmony. I don't know about you, but I'm always for higher odds." In fact, one 2015 "social experiment" compared the matches offered to Brian and Becca, who were both looking for the same traits in a partner, only one of the opposite sex. After one day, Becca had 701 matches and 378 messages … compared to Brian's 269 matches and 28 messages.
Sure, those 701 matches probably all weren't winners. However, the numbers seem to suggest that Tinder is on women's side.
For Dr. Sumner, the number of prospective males is less important to consider than the broadening of the dating pool itself. "Proximity and similarity are the top predictors of relationship formation," she explains. "Online dating is a great because it broadens our dating pool by including online proximity and not just physical proximity. So we can meet people who we might have a lot in common with, yet would not run into in our normal daily lives."
Apps like Tinder don't just increase the quantity of dates you can go on, either. Tinder can also include the variety of date activities, according to Marriage and Family therapist Dr. Wendy O'Connor. "An app like Tinder can help you reach outside of your comfort zone and explore different types of dates," she says. Need an example? Just google the phrase "types of guys on Tinder." For better or for worse, you'll meet guys with a wide range of backgrounds, personalities and perspectives on dating.

Basically, if you've always wanted the song, "It's raining men" to come to life, Tinder might be able to help.
Have you ever seen someone cute at the grocery store or at your local movie theater but you do nothing but admire from afar because it'd be "weird" to randomly walk up and say hi?
According to Newman, Tinder can take the creepy out of chatting with strangers. "It's the place people go to look for a date that leads to a relationship — period. Also handy? It's a hundred percent acceptable to reach out and say, 'hi,'" she says. "The hot topic of consent highlights that the only real difference between an 'amazing new friend' and a 'total creep' is if that person your type. Same line, different person, different results. A good guy KNOWS this, and he has no way of knowing if he's your type (even if you're smiling at him), so he won't risk being the creepy guy."
Sarah Sherman, an ENTITY writer, agrees. She found her boyfriend through Tinder and says, "I liked to use Tinder because it doesn't pretend to be something else – it's Tinder, a dating app based on swiping right or left." For Sherman, the main reason she started using Tinder was to get out there and see what happened.
RELATED: Why Can't Anybody Get LGBTQ+ Dating Apps Right?
Unfortunately, creepy guys aren't automatically banned from Tinder. You only have to scroll through some Reddit posts – or spend a few weeks on the app – to discover that. However, research has found that the main motivation for people using Tinder is to find love or casual sex (and love reigned supreme). Goodbye creepy/awkward strangers hitting on you at the bar. Hello Tinder!
One of the other, awesome aspects of Tinder and other dating apps? You can partially control who you match up with. Sure, the idea of swiping left or right based off a photo and a short bio may sound superficial. However, Newman points out, "We can tell a lot about a person by looking at a photo. Are they high-strung? Kind? Intense? Goofy? A picture is worth a thousand words — so using Tinder and apps like it can be an efficient way to connect."
Research backs up Newman's point. One 2009 study had participants describe people's personalities based on a picture of them in a spontaneous pose. Not only could the participants accurately predict a person's extroversion and self-esteem, but they even pinpointed a person's level of spirituality and conscientiousness.
What's so good about being able to infer a person's personality and read about their interests? As Dr. Sumner explains, "Once two people who met online choose to meet up face-to-face, the dating process is really no different than it would be if they had met offline." However, "the main difference is that the people who met in the coffee shop will be starting from ground zero and trying to slowly learn basic information about each other, whereas the online daters will have already exchanged basic information about each other."

Basically? If you read that a guy works as a traveling missionary and eats 100 percent vegan, and you're a hamburger-lovin' atheist, you know to just swipe left and not waste both of your time.
When you think about Tinder, you might think it's best for college students, considering that they make up 50 percent of Tinder users. However, Tinder can actually be just what busy men and women need to find love, according to Karenna Alexander, a certified dating coach and matchmaker.
"These apps are great if you are very busy and have a hard time getting out to social events, where you might meet single people," she says. "Also, while traveling for work or play, especially if you travel alone, the apps can be a great way to connect with people who live in the locale where you are traveling."
Julie Spira, an online and mobile dating expert and CEO of Cyber-Dating Expert, agrees that Tinder's wide reach and flexibility are its biggest benefits. "Tinder has a huge user base and is available 24 hours a day. If you're a premium member, you can also use the Tinder Plus Passport feature," she says. "I love this because it allows you to cast a wider net, so you can search in a city you might be traveling to in advance of arriving to fill up your date card in advance."

As Spira points out, people will move for love … so maybe falling for a foreign CEO who's just as accomplished as you are wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen!
Ever since it launched, Tinder has had the reputation of being the app for hookups. In fact, its CEO Sean Rad even spoke against this misconception in 2015, saying that the results of a 300,000-user survey found that 80 percent of Tinder peeps want a real relationship.
Based on the stories we heard from these experts, Rad's data is pretty solid. For Alexander, the key to romantic success through online sites or apps like Tinder is being selective and avoiding players. "I have several clients who have met boyfriends – and two met their husbands – on a dating app," she says. "You just need to put the time in! I can't say that enough. I have clients who have toiled for years on these sites, and one day, it just happens. They find that needle in the haystack, and they are so happy that they did all the work!"
Spira thinks dedication is equally important to finding "the one" – online or in person. "More singles on Tinder are looking for love, and if that's what they want to find, they will," she says. "It's a numbers game, but I have coached many singles who have found love on Tinder and are engaged or have gotten married."
The fact is, research has shown that, regardless of the method you take, finding your soulmate takes plenty of time. One 2014 study found that the average woman will kiss 15 men, experience two long-term relationships and endure two heartbreaks before she finds "the one." Another study, this time of the dating site Hinge, reported that users talked with around 16 other people and went on four or five dates before finding the person they're with now.

Whether you're dating online or the old-fashioned way, patience is key.
So can we find love on apps like Tinder? The experts and studies seem to suggest "yes." After all, just by downloading the app, writing a short bio and posting some picture of you slayin' at life, you're showing that you're open to love or, at the very least, open to meeting some new people.
Cupid is so 2016. This year, it seems like computerized apps are where love is really at.

From BBC News
Science correspondent, BBC News
Some feared firing up the LHC would doom the Earth
The internet needs a way to help people separate rumour from real science, says the creator of the World Wide Web.
Talking to BBC News Sir Tim Berners-Lee said he was increasingly worried about the way the web has been used to spread disinformation.
Sir Tim was speaking in advance of an announcement about a Foundation he has helped create that he hopes will improve the World Wide Web.
Future proof
Sir Tim talked to the BBC in the week in which Cern, where he did his pioneering work on the web, turned on the Large Hadron Collider for the first time.
The use of the web to spread fears that flicking the switch on the LHC could create a Black Hole that could swallow up the Earth particularly concerned him, he said. In a similar vein was the spread of rumours that the MMR vaccine given to children in Britain was harmful.
Sir Tim told BBC News that there needed to be new systems that would give websites a label for trustworthiness once they had been proved reliable sources.
"On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable," he said. "A sort of conspiracy theory of sorts and which you can imagine spreading to thousands of people and being deeply damaging."
Sir Tim and colleagues at the World Wide Web consortium had looked at simple ways of branding websites – but concluded that a whole variety of different mechanisms was needed.
Sir Tim wants to help get the web to people who are cut off from it.
"I'm not a fan of giving a website a simple number like an IQ rating because like people they can vary in all kinds of different ways," he said. "So I'd be interested in different organisations labelling websites in different ways".
Sir Tim spoke to the BBC to publicise the launch of his World Wide Web Foundation which aims to improve the web's reputation for accurate information.
Alongside this role it will aim to make it easier for people to get online. Currently only 20% of the world's population have access to the web
"Has it been designed by the West for the West?" asked Sir Tim.
"Has it been designed for the executive and the teenager in the modern city with a smart phone in their pocket? If you are in a rural community do you need a different kind of web with different kinds of facilities?"
Creative medium
The Web Foundation will also explore ways to make the web more mobile-phone friendly. That would increase its use in Africa and other poor parts of the world where there are few computers but plenty of handsets.
The Foundation will also look at how the benefits of the web can be taken to those who cannot read or write.
"We're talking about the evolution of the web," he said. "Perhaps by using gestures or pointing. When something is such a creative medium as the web, the limits to it are our imagination".
The Foundation will also look at concerns that the web has become less democratic, and its use influenced too much by large corporations and vested interests.
"I think that question is very important and may be settled in the next few years," said Sir Tim.
"One of the things I always remain concerned about is that that medium remains neutral," he said.
"It's not just where I go to decide where to buy my shoes which is the commercial incentive – it's where I go to decide who I'm going to trust to vote," he said.
"It's where I go maybe to decide what sort of religion I'm going to belong to or not belong to; it's where I go to decide what is actual scientific truth – what I'm actually going to go along with and what is bunkum".

ISLAMABAD: Iran has cautioned against a "vilification campaign" launched against it on the basis of allegations by Lyari gangster Uzair Baloch that its intelligence agencies had links with him.
A statement issued by the Iranian embassy in Islamabad on Friday rejected "unfounded rumours being circulated in some media during recent days about linking the activities of some miscreants with some Iranian organisations".
A Joint Investigation Team (JIT) set up by the Sindh government to investigate Baloch had last year in its report said: "Uzair Baloch was involved in espionage activities by providing secret information regarding army installations and officials to foreign agents [Iranian intelligence officers] which is a violation of the Official Secret Act 1923."
Uzair had in a confessional statement said that he had met an Iranian intelligence official in Chabahar, who had asked him to provide information about Pakistani military officials and Karachi's security environment.
JIT report was published after Uzair was taken into custody by army under the Official Secret Act for leaking of sensitive security information to foreign intelligence agencies.
The embassy said "dissemination of such baseless" material was aimed at turning public opinion against Iran. This, it stressed, was "contrary to the spirit of friendship and brotherhood between the two nations".
"It goes without saying that such untrue stories are not commensurate with trajectory of expanding bilateral relations in all spheres between two friendly and brotherly countries of Iran and Pakistan," the embassy said.
A 13-page self-written confessional statement of Baloch emerged hours after Wednesday night's tweets by Inter-Services Public Relation chief Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor about his custody which was confirmed by the Rangers' senior special public prosecutor Sajid Mahboob Sheikh.
In a report the JIT sent to the home department in April last year it strongly recommended Baloch's trial by a military court because of his suspected involvement in "espionage".

Hatch Red Chile
As the harvest nears and the green chilies ripen, their skin turns a gorgeous shade of red. These red chilies traditionally dried and crushed into powder, or tied together into ristas, which are hung from New Mexico's traditional adobe homes and buildings.
Our product is roasted just after the chilies turn red, and are peeled, diced, and naturally preserved in lime juice, garlic, and salt, giving them a sweet, spicy finish.
Taste New Mexico Red Chile like you never have before.

A commercial property services company, Broll Nigeria and a subsidiary of Broll Property Group, has emerged as the Platinum Sponsor of the third annual West Africa Property Investment (WAPI) Summit 2017. The summit, which is making its debut in Nigeria, will hold on November 28 – 29, at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island in Lagos. It has as its theme: "Changing the West African Narrative". The two previous editions had held in Ghana, with Broll as the Platinum Sponsor.
The conference, billed to attract delegates from across the sub-Saharan region, will see participants discuss and share insights on the challenges facing investors and stakeholders in the region. Topics such as unlocking capital markets; growth in the retail segment of the market, especially with the increased development of new shopping centres; student housing; as well as property and land valuations, among others, will be deliberated upon.
Broll's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bolaji Edu, revealed that the property markets in West Africa keep expanding and investors see opportunities in what is by global standard, still an immature and emerging market. This, he further explained, is why conferences such as this will make it possible for topical and relevant issues to be discussed, which will ultimately lead to improving the transparency, professionalism and knowledge base of investors, developers and occupiers.
The summit, according to him, provides a platform for industry experts, property professionals and leaders of thought to discuss key issues relating to real estate investments in West Africa.
"The economic improvement and stability in the forex market has brought improved confidence from corporates looking to take up new space and investors/developers. There is confidence that the recent fall in rental levels may have begun to bottom-out,"Edu said.
Speakers at the summit include Edu, Broll Head of Retail Management and Retail Leasing, Gavin Cox, and Broll's Head of Occupier Services, Nnenna Alintah.
According to Alintah, "corporate real estate services strategy is key to any property investment business and it requires paying attention to every detail before decisions are made. "We are currently working on an occupier service snapshot report on West Africa and this will be launched and discussed at the summit,"she said.
In a similar vein, Cox added: "One of the issues we intend to highlight at the summit is the investors' choice of either high street or shopping centre retail. Some experts believe that high street retail has more visibility when compared to being located within a mall."
Cox further noted that the retail sector in the country is facing tough times, as a result, international retailers interested in entering the Nigerian market have since adopted a 'wait and see' approach in the light of the prevailing market conditions. "In addition to understanding the long-term growth potential of the retail sector, Nigeria is also seen as a much easier market to expand into compared to other western markets," he said.

Restored my old file format
User Help for Mozilla Thunderbird
6 posts • Page 1 of 1
When I restore Windows 10 from my computer Thunderbird is gone. Thunderbird downloaded again and unfortunately he has not restored my old file format. Now I must first create new folders again and the relevant mail go process. Is it possible to make my last old file format to get back for example, under "history", if this is there?
Take a look at the information in this link --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
John 3:16 and Philippians 4:13
Search the drive for a directory that contains both "abook.mab" (your personal address book) and "prefs.js" (your settings). That should be a Thunderbird profile. If you find more than one, look at the timedate stamps for those two files to figure out which profile you used most recently. The reason for searching for both those files is a Firefox profile also contains a "prefs.js" file.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_p ... hunderbird for how to tell Thunderbird where it is.
I have make á copy off my Back-up and will ended this topic!
Helaas kan ik niet meer inloggen en zal Thunderbird moet gaan verlaten.
Of kan mij nog iemand helpen????
English please. Since this thread is several years old please create a new thread rather than resurrecting an old one.

27 Mar When we pray up it brings heaven down.
"When we pray up it brings heaven down. Without prayer the supernatural can not invade the natural, but with prayer the kingdom of heaven can invade and change the kingdom of man." God proved this last night in our gathering, the Kingdom of Heaven invaded last night.
I had a awesome night of warship and prayer last night, gathering for over 5 hours with the body. Had a incredible encounter with God, face to face with Him, His glory, His love, His forgiveness. I came away changed by the encounter with God. Woke up sing songs and praising God. Last night I experienced 'when we pray up, heaven comes down'. (Jaeson Ma learned the same thing yesterday, must have been God's theme for the day.)
God did amazing work in me last night, chains where broken, I was freed of things in my past, and thoughts that kept me a prisoner of my past. The Holy Spirit was on me is such a powerfully way. I have been changed, made a new person from this day forward I pray. I woke up singing & dancing before the Lord covered in His love & presence, singing "Who the Son has set free is free indeed, Halleluiah, Halleluiah!"
It is in the time spent in the presence of God, in prayer and fasting that we meet God face to face, that we truly get changed, grow in are likeness of Christ. A persons level of likeness of Christ, spirituality, transformation will not rise above the level of prayer life we have. Both the amount of time and the depth of our prayers, time waiting on, listening to God vs talking. Hours of deep prayer a day, result in a deep abiding relationship with God, and a life transformed into the likeness of Christ, a life formed by the will of God.

- Maternity grants: this is a fixed amount of £500 to help people buy clothes and other essential items for a newborn baby. You can only get the grant if there are no other children in your household under 16 and you receive a qualifying benefit.
To access these payments and loans, you or your partner will generally need to be receiving a qualifying benefit.
Find more information about each of these and how to apply.
Get a grant for more support in your home
If you need to make changes to where you live because of your child's condition, for example widening doors or installing ramps to improve accessibility, you may be able to get a Disabled Facilities Grant from your local council to help with the costs.
Young people under the age of 18 who have cancer can get a grant without their parents' income being taken into account.
Get an advance on your benefit payments
You could get an advance on your first benefit payment to cope in the weeks before you start getting regular payments. This is called a short-term benefit advance and will be taken out of any following payments you get.
This benefit will be available to people in urgent financial need and already receiving income-related benefits, including Universal Credit.
The amount you get depends on your circumstances but will usually be paid into your bank the same day, or next working day. You will pay it back from your future payments.
Find out more and how to apply.
If you've already been receiving Universal Credit, ESA, Income Support or Jobseeker's Allowance for six months or more, you could get a loan to help pay for emergency costs.
Budgeting Advances mean you can borrow a minimum of £100 and you'll pay it back through your regular payments. This means these will be lower until the loan is paid off, usually over a period of 12 months (although it can be 18 in exceptional circumstances).
Contact your work coach at your local Jobcentre Plus to apply.

Watch: MOBB Hits Up The Streets In "Run To You" Busking Video
Subunit MOBB (made up of WINNER's Song Mino and iKON's Bobby) recently performed on the streets of Hongdae in an impromptu concert called "Run to You."
The busking event was held on September 28. Song Mino is worried at first because it's a weekday, but Bobby says confidently, "Hey, hyung. We're MOBB. We're popular."
Instead of a formal concert, they express the desire to just have a good time with their fans. Soon a huge crowd surrounds them at a small playground in the busy district.
They perform their title track "Hit Me" and prove that their fiery rapping skills don't need a big stage and flashy effects to stir up the crowd.

Babies are not born with all the immediate visual abilities they need in life, such as focusing and moving their eyes accurately and using them together as a team. These skills are learned over a period of time as they develop.
From birth, they explore with their eyes the amazing world around them, even before their motor skills begin to develop. Their eyes provide information and stimulation important for their development.
Healthy eyes and good vision play a major role in how infants and children learn to see. To ensure the proper visual development of your child, take the following action as a parent:
Infant Vision from birth to four months
During the first four months, a baby cannot see the biggest letter on the eye chart, unlike an older child or adult who may see it as far away as 200 feet. At this time, their eyes do not focus on objects farther away than eight to ten inches from their faces.
As the eyes begin to work together during the early months, vision quickly improves. The coordination between eye and hand develops and the baby starts tracking moving objects and reaches for them. By eight weeks, they can focus their eyes on the face of a parent or other person close by.
During the first two months, a baby's uncoordinated eyes may wander or appear crossed. This is quite normal unless an eye turns in or out constantly. By four months, your baby should follow moving objects and reach for things.
Five to eight months
A baby will gain further control of eye movement and eye-body coordination skills during this time.
The ability to differentiate between the various proximities of objects is not present at birth. This skill is called depth perception and will only kick in around the fifth month when the eyes work together to form a three-dimensional view of the world.
It is generally accepted that babies have good color vision by age five months although their color vision may not be as sensitive as an adult's.
Babies begin crawling around eight months, and this precipitates the coordinated development of eye, hand, foot and body. Research has also shown that early walkers, who did minimal crawling, may not learn to use both eyes properly compared with babies who crawl a lot.
Nine to twelve months
Babies usually learn to stand at this time and grasp objects with thumb and forefinger. By twelve months, they should be crawling and trying to walk. To help your child develop better hand-eye coordination, you should encourage crawling rather than early walking.
Judging distances will have improved considerably, and throwing things is a piece of cake.
Twelve to twenty-four months
When children reach the age of two years, their hand-eye coordination and depth perception are usually well developed. At this age they take great interest in exploring their environment and can intently look and listen. Familiar objects, such as pictures or books, are recognizable and they take great delight in scribbling with crayon or pencil.
Symptoms of Eye and Vision Problems
Most babies start out with healthy eyes and develop the visual abilities needed without difficulty. Eye and vision problems in infants is rare. But there will be instances when such problems arise and parents should look for the following signs that may indicate these:
Please see your optometrist or pediatric ophthalmologist immediately should any of these symptoms manifest.
The Parents' Role in Visual Development
Parents are an invaluable asset in assisting with the development of their baby's vision. Here are some age-appropriate activities that can help your baby acquire good vision ability:
Birth to four months
Regardless of the condition of your child's eyes and vision, make sure that he or she is examined at the age of six months. It is important to identify problems that may not be immediately apparent and to begin early treatment. This will prove invaluable for your child's future academic skills and psychological well-being.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

An excavator that flipped over on the rocky hillside between the Wellesley Hills train station and Kimlo Road late Tuesday afternoon slowed commuter rail service and drew crowds of spectators to watch removal attempts.
An excavator that flipped over on the rocky hillside between the Wellesley Hills train station and Kimlo Road late Tuesday afternoon slowed commuter rail service and drew crowds of spectators to watch removal attempts.
The incident was reported to police about 2:45 p.m. Crews worked through the evening and into early Wednesday morning to remove the 30,000-pound machine. The operator refused medical treatment, said Wellesley Police Lt. Jack Pilecki.
"We don't expect any criminal charges to be filed," Wellesley Deputy Police Chief Bill Brooks said. "The gentleman operating the machine was properly licensed."
Retaining walls for two future home lots have been under construction on Kimlo Road, which was closed for a while after the accident. The excavator was moved to the top of the hill and removed on Wednesday.
The accident didn't come as a surprise to some residents. Lucia Lovison, a Wellesley resident who rides the commuter rail every day to work, said she and fellow commuters had discussed how dangerous the construction looked. Lovison, who said she has a background in engineering geology, thought the project looked unsafe from the start because of the steepness of the hill. She called Town Hall to discuss her concerns, was bounced around from office to office, and finally left a message for the building inspector, who never returned her call, she said.
"It was a disaster waiting to happen and it's not over," she said. "I left a message with my concern asking who gave this permit because it's unbelievable. Seriously, it's unbelievable, from a stability point of view [and] from a construction point of view."
It is unclear if construction will continue on the site. Fire Department Chief Rick DeLorie said his department and a number of others were concerned the site still posed some risks. It is unknown who will pay for the overtime and cleanup costs from the accident, but DeLorie said the property owner or the construction company should be the ones to pay.
"At the end of the day, the bills are going to be born by the person working on the site and/or the owner of the property," he said. "It was quite a production."
On Monday, the day before the accident, Michael Grant, the town's building inspector, told the Townsman that the permits had been issued to local builder Paul Bevilacqua, a year or so ago. The Townsman's call was made after a resident called to ask what the project involved and to voice concerns about its safety.
"We're essentially built out in this town," Grant said, so developers are taking advantage of less advantageous properties. Bevilacqua did not respond to the Townsman's call for comments.

International Women's Day (IWD) is about celebrating the achievements of women all over the world. In keeping with this year's theme to 'press for progress' in striving for gender equity, the Australian Government shines a light on our amazing women making world-class contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). They are making progress every day, addressing national challenges to help shape our nation's future wellbeing and prosperity.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull marked the day by announcing that the Government will appoint a Women in Science Ambassador, who will act as an advocate for gender equity in science, raising awareness of issues and prosecuting the case for change.
The Prime Minister was joined by the 2018 Australian of the Year, Professor Michelle Simmons, who is leading work to develop quantum computing that could revolutionise global industries, healthcare and technology.
He also met with some of the Superstars of STEM, including Dr Kate Grarock, Dr Ronika Power, Dr Jodie Ward and Associate Professor Muireann Irish. These women are smashing gender assumptions about scientists in the media, on the stage and in discussion with decision-makers. The Superstars initiative, run by Science and Technology Australia, is so successful that the Government recently doubled the number of women participants from 30 to 60 and extended the program for another four years.
Like all of these dynamic, highly-accomplished women, the Women in Science Ambassador will be an inspiration and a role model. The Ambassador will be an eminent Australian woman recognised for her work in the science sector. She will serve as a national voice of encouragement for women and girls to realise their own potential, and provide advice to Government on issues that girls and women face along their STEM education and career journey.
This announcement builds on the Government's $13 million investment in Women in STEM and Entrepreneurship initiatives under the National Innovation and Science Agenda.

West Palm Beach pedestrian accident attorneys who are determined to get you justice
Florida, like many heavily populated parts of the country, is a state crowded with cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Drivers sometimes forget that someone on foot may suddenly appear in a crosswalk - and have a legal right to be there. A motorist rushing to get to work might look down for a second when the pedestrian steps into the path of the car. The result may be a traumatic injury to the pedestrian.
If you were injured as a pedestrian, it's important to contact an experienced Florida pedestrian accident lawyer who can defend your rights. Unfortunately, insurance companies may try to limit your compensation if you're injured. Their representatives in many cases will try to pin the blame on you for the accident. Don't fall for their games.
Thousands of fatal pedestrian accidents are reported each year in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thousands of other pedestrian accidents result in catastrophic injuries, including spinal injuries, brain damage, paralysis and even death, which may lead to a wrongful death lawsuit. It's not unusual for a pedestrian to sustain broken bones or fractures that result in significant medical bills and lost earnings due to time away from work.
While they sometimes are injured through no fault of their own, pedestrians can reduce their risks by following some basic steps:
- Use cross-walks
- Don't dart out into the road
- Wait for the "walk" signal
In South Florida, pedestrians generally are better off walking in the more urban areas such as City Place, Lake Worth, Delray, Hollywood, South Beach, where motorists drive more slowly than in the suburban areas west of I-95.
Malls are a common location for pedestrian accidents
Accidents involving pedestrians can happen in mall parking lots, where cars are backing out of spaces and drivers may be in a rush to find a spot. A pedestrian injury may happen at any of the following locations:
- Wellington Green Mall
- The Boca Town Center
- Palm Beach Gardens Mall

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew himself up on Thursday during a Shi'ite Muslim religious ritual in the eastern Iraqi city of al-Sadiya, killing at least 30 people and wounding 67, a senior local official and police said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which came on the final day of Ashura, a 10-day Shi'ite ritual.

Australia's Constitution needs a full 'make over' and Dr Klaas Woldring explains why
Here's some things he's identified as wrong with our Constitution:
5. The Constitution has no Bill of Rights ― making Australia the only Commonwealth country that has no such statutory protection for the rights of the Australian citizens.
6. The Constitution makes no provision for the reconciliation with, nor the representation of, the Indigenous Peoples.
7. The Constitution makes no provision for the protection of the environment; a new value that, most would agree, needs to be expressed and safeguarded.
8. The position of women and the issues of equality between the sexes and of gender in Australian society are not addressed anywhere in the Constitution.
What do you think?

The 2300 year old Iron Pillar in Delhi (India) has no special coating and yet no rusting takes place. Researches are on to find out how it was built.
The Eiffel Tower of Paris, on the other hand, is hardly 83 years old and needs great deal of research maintaining to prevent from rusting.
The old technology and modern technology can be clearly differentiated here.
Wonder, is this the reason, that they say,"OLD IS GOLD"!!!

Essential, Android co-founder Andy Rubins new smartphone venture, had a rough go of it last year trying to get off the ground with a brand-new flagship handset. Not only did the device face some serious launch delays, but industry research firm IDC is now reporting that Essential sold fewer than 90,000 units in its first six months on the market. Francisco Jeronimo, IDCs research director, tweeted out the stat this morning, writing that the device is still a long way from becoming a successful venture. No one reasonably expected Rubins new smartphone company to go head-to-head with Apple or Samsung anytime soon (or ever for that matter). But 88,000 units, which is the exact figure IDC reports for Essential Phone sales in 2017, is still quite low and illustrates the uphill battle Rubin is fighting by launching a new phone in a mature, high-end market dominated by some of the worlds largest and most well-equipped corporations. Essential is effectively a startup, and although it has some of the best expertise in the business alongside Rubins reputation, the company may not be able to weather the storm as it slashes costs on the Essential Phone and gears up to inevitably try and launch a successor. The device itself is now $499 after some aggressive cost-cutting and a temporary $399 Cyber Monday deal, suggesting Essentials margins may be razor-thin at this point as it tries to get more units out into the wild. How long the company continues down this path is up in the air, but the phone is still receiving camera updates, and an eventual Android 8.1 Oreo update is coming soon.
Essential knew it had a hard road ahead of it. Andy Rubin and company acknowledged as much when they launched a handset aimed at taking on the likes of Apple and Samsung. Given that the company hasnt issued anything in the way of official numbers thus far, a new batch of numbers from IDC are the best we have to go on at the moment — and things dont look great for the products first half-year. A tweet posted by research director Francisco Jeronimo puts the companys total shipping at 88,000 units for 2017. We reached out to Essential about the report, but the company wouldnt comment as is its policy with outside reports. When I spoke to the companys president and COO Niccolo de Masi the day the phone was launched, he called the handset a long-term play, speaking in terms of a decades worth of development to reach the heights of the big names. Of course, he also framed things relative to the first Google Pixel, noting that the handset was a bomb compared to Apple and Samsung — though that phones reported sales number was around 2.5 million. . @Arubin's @essential smartphone is still a long way from becoming a successful venture. In 2017, it shipped less than 90K units (first six months after launch) We will effectively run a similar growth trajectory probably to what you saw with Apples approach to the iPhone, he added at the time. They sold a million in the first year. Not because there wasnt demand for more, but because they couldnt build more than that when it came to capacitive touch-resistant screens. If those were, indeed, the benchmarks for the companys planned first year of sales, 88,000 is a drop in the bucket. And even with the long runway, the company afforded itself being tied to the man who invented Android, its hard to imagine investors being thrilled by this sort of estimate. Essential hasnt talked numbers yet — no surprise, really for a young company. But early reports were low, a fact seemingly confirmed by the companys decision to slash prices in October. At the time, Darrell called the phone the best deal in smartphones, but a $200 drop soon after launch wasnt exactly a vote of confidence in the brand. We could have created a massive TV campaign to capture your attention, the company wrote at the time of the drop, but we think making it easier for people to get their hands on our first products is a better way to get to know us. The notion of cutting out advertising in order to pass the savings along to the consumer is a noble one, but word of mouth isnt exactly a reliable launch pad for a mainstream consumer product. The company confirmed a total of $330 million back in August, which should give it wiggle room, especially given the importance the companys executives place on couching expectations early on. Its easy to forget that Android got off to a pretty slow start as well, given how wildly successful the mobile operating system has become. Aside from some software updates, however, things have been pretty quiet on the Essential front. The companys Hub smart home device has been largely MIA since it was first announced alongside the phone.

Oh! So close to Halloween. I got goose bumps reading your story. Thank you any way.
I wonder if the gloom is still there because the attacker is still on the loose.
Call it what you will, intuition, gut feeling, I call it psychic ability.
so esp or alterations in "fate" seems possible, or just someone in a higher perspective/dimension gave a darn about us, for some hard to glean reason... too little information to come to any solid conclusions.

I absolutely agree with your point. The governments are terrified that we could hone our latent abilities.

Just goes to show, always listen to your intuition. ALWAYS.
Did your intuition make the day appear 'dark and foreboding' or was that something you were getting from somewhere else?

Thats why my story is so weird, it's close to that movie but not half as insane or bloody.

Where does THAT signal come from?
Thank you thats why I prodded you on it. You say it "hit you", thats pretty descriptive. Like if we decide to go someplace thats our decision. Cook a meal, write a reply, all our own internal decision making process. These 'other' feelings that motivate us to decide something are still our own glands giving us tingling, queasy, cold shivers, goosebumps, spine tingles, "gut feelings" in advance of some event we cant possibly see coming... what makes those triggers happen is from outside ourselves.
(once again, imo).

Wow, good one! It's amazing to me how loud one voice can stand out like that. I could hear how it sounded to you and how loud. I bet it sounded like it was right beside you as if someone was standing that close. It made you jump didn't it?
Glad you jerked up when you did and reacted.

What is Capitalism?
Pro-capitalist ideologues link capitalism with abstract democracy and claim that working-class people have the same economic interests as CEOs. The following group discussion helps to explain how capitalism actually works and what that means for the working-class.
Which way to socialism?
Capitalism seems to be able to succeed only at enriching and empowering the few at the expense of the rest of us. But how can we change that? We think socialism is a better way to organize a society.
Can capitalism last?
Capitalism is a system that inherently concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few, while the vast majority struggles just to get by. How can the working-class majority change that system in order to win real democracy? The following discussion should help your group develop answers to that question and think of ways to make some change.

GEORGETOWN — The clock at Toyota Stadium seemed to go in slow motion for Greenwood.
The final five minutes clicked down slowly as the Gators clung to a 2-1 lead over Danville in the state soccer tournament semifinals.
"I wish we'd still been playing instead of just kicking and praying, but we got the result, and it's always tough to get the result this late in the season," Coach Scott Gural said.
The Gators did get their final result despite several close calls in the waning minutes to earn the school's second trip to the state finals where they will face two-time defending state champion St. Xavier here on Saturday.
The Tigers topped Covington Catholic 4-1 in the first game Wednesday night.
After Logan Guess scored midway through the first half, Greenwood grabbed a 2-0 lead early in the second on Shakir Feyzulov's shot that bounced off the left post and into the goal.
Then, for the final 38 minutes, the Gators held on for their playoff lives, advancing to just their second finals in school history and their first since 2004 when they lost to Lexington Catholic.
"I'm so happy," Feyzulov said. "I was just waiting for that final whistle. ... We were just trying to hold on, there wasn't a lot of offense in the last five minutes, but we did it."
The Admirals, making their first-ever state semifinal appearance, made it interesting with Jake Winkler's goal six minutes into the second half that made it 2-1.
"As much as we were on our heels at times, we kept our composure, and we kept on playing," Gural said. "Once we gave up the goal, we still kept playing. We came back and did what we needed to do."
Even though the Admirals couldn't capitalize, Coach Brent Beauman was pleased with his team's effort until that final horn sounded.
"They wanted this so bad, and they have such fight in them," Beauman said. "They wanted to do it for the school and the community. ... Of course you want to win; of course you want to keep on going ... but I couldn't be more proud of the boys."St. Xavier 4, Covington Catholic 1: Even though the top-ranked Tigers have been here many times before, winning the last two state championships, they couldn't help but feel the butterflies.
They flew around well into halftime when the two teams were tied 1-1.
"Today was a little nerve-wracking and everything," said senior striker Tyler Riggs, who noted that the team lost nine starters from last year's state champ. "We were too focused on the excitement of getting back here."
Coach Andy Schulten just had to get rid of the butterflies and remind the Tigers that there was a reason they made it back to the state semifinals.
"Second half, they came out, and they settled down a little bit," Schulten said. "We aren't the type of team that can worry about what other teams are doing, we just have to do what we do."
Riggs, a Kentucky commitment, made sure of it.
Riggs scored the Tigers' first goal in the first half and then the go-ahead goal 16 minutes into the second half. Then, the senior assisted on one of Cameron Coppola's two goals in the second half.
The Tigers won their ninth straight game and are one win away from becoming the first team to earn three straight state titles.
St. Xavier 4, Covington Catholic 1
Goals—CC: Sam Mullen; SX: Tyler Riggs 2, Cameron Coppola 2. Goalkeepers—CC: Brett Futscher; SX: Oliver Brown, John Ohkubo.

New Shawcan Cable Poised To Upgrade Headphones At Headroom 2017
Consumers can try new ShawCan upgrade cables using their own headphones! (Find us: Studio B, Artist Side)
22nd March 2017, Wiltshire: The Chord Company will be demonstrating the benefits of its recently launched ShawCan headphone upgrade cables to the public at the headroom show, Metropolis Studios, London, 24th-25th March. ShawCan is the first ever headphone product in the UK cable specialist's 32-year history and is unique in featuring the company's proprietary Super ARAY conductor technology for an unrivalled sonic performance.
The new upgrade cables have been designed to deliver the true potential of today's high-quality headphones by implementing a miniaturised version of The Chord Company's unique Super ARAY mechanical tuning. Attendees can try the ShawCan upgrade cables with their own headphones (where interchangeable), or use Audeze LCD-3 headphones fed via Chord Electronics' Hugo TT DAC/head amp. The demo provides the opportunity to compare Chord's proprietary Super ARAY ShawCan cable with standard manufacturer-issued cable.
A variety of ShawCan cable terminations will be available to try for consumers bringing their own headphones: 6.3mm stereo to 3.5mm stereo; 6.3mm to Lemo (Focal Utopia); 6.3mm to Sennheiser HD800/HD800s); 6.3mm to MrSpeaker connector (Ether range and AEON Range); 6.3mm to 2-pin (for IEMs) and 6.3mm to 2x 3.5mm mono.
The Chord Company will also have a second system, demonstrating the benefits of high-quality USB cables and moving from basic stock cables to Chord's C-USB, Shawline, Signature, new Sarum T (world debut at headroom) and the flagship ChordMusic.
About ShawCan
ShawCan features high-quality silver-plated conductors with PTFE insulation. The shield is a composite design that doesn't just shield but helps to minimise unwanted mechanical noise, an inherent problem with headphone cables. The conductors are enclosed in a black outer jacket that is more than just a braid to tidy the conductors: the jacket is actually designed to further reduce mechanical noise.
The Chord Company has been able to adapt its unique Super ARAY conductor geometry to work with a headphone cable. The Super ARAY conductor design in ShawCan has allowed Chord to make a cable that carries a musical signal far more coherently than more conventional designs. The benefits of ShawCan aren't just in terms of detail and dynamics: the really big step forward is the way that Tuned ARAY cables – ShawCan included – make music sound so involving, immersive and believable.
ShawCan is available in a range of terminations to suit most leading headphones:
Jack 3.5mm (Focal Elear; Oppo PM series; Sony MDR-Z1)
Jack mini XLR (Audeze LCD range)
Jack Sennheiser connector (HD800/HD800s)
Jack Lemo (Focal Utopia)
Jack MrSpeakers (Ether Range; AEON Range)
2-pin (for Sennheiser)
Pricing and availability
ShawCan is available now in 1.5m lengths as standard, custom lengths available to order.
3.5mm or ¼" Jack to 3.5mm (mono pair or stereo) £275
3.5mm or ¼" Jack to any other connector £350
